m. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP CAR Conductor Tells of Attack Made by Three Men- -Officials Know Nothing of It. It was reported by a conductor on one of the Spring Lake division trolley cars of the Atlantic Coast Electric railroad this morning that on Tuesday night an attempt was made by three men to hold up his car shortly after it had passed the Como station on the way to Spring Lake. The conductor stated that they were spinning along at a rapid pace when three men stepped on the track and motioned for the car to stop. One of them boarded the car and demanded the conductor's watch and money, while the other two stood at the door.

No sooner had the demand been made than the conductor, he declares, gave the motorman the signal to go ahead at full speed. As the car jumped forward the would robber seeing that his companions were being left behind, lost his nerve and leaped from the rapidly moving vehicle. It was also stated from the same source that an attempt was made to hold up another car on the same evening, but proved unsuccessful. The railroad company is. investigating.

The declaration is made at the Allenhurst car barn and no report of the alleged attempted holdups have been made. MISS ATKINSON SURPRISED. Friends Tendered Her Party at the tel -Stafford Last Night.

Pape, Daughter of Joseph Coyte, Is Injured In Wyoming Train Wreck. MAN FELL DEAD BEFORE HER Did Not Know She Was Hurt Until Stooping to Pick Up Little Lad In Wrecked Car She Felt Blood Running Down Her Face From Cut Over Right Eye. After a most exciting and adventuresome trip from Opal, Wyoming, Mrs. William H. Pape, daughter of Joseph Coyte of this city, arrived here yesterday with a deep cut over her right eye, which she received in a railroad collision near Green River.

Mr. and Mrs. Pape have a large ranch at Burns, Wyoming, just east of the great timber belt. On Friday Sept. 30, Mrs.

Pape left the rank for Opal, the nearest railroad station, to take a trip east and visit her relatives. The 125 mile journey from Burns to Opal was made in a wagon, a long and tedious ride over the prairies and hills. On Wednesday her train left Opal with a number of passengers also bound for eastern points. The train had been under way about 20 minutes, when near a place called Green River it ran into an open switch and plunged into a freight train standing on a siding. Most of the passengers were asleep when the accident occurred, but Mrs.

Pape was sitting in one of the front seats still wide awake. She was thrown heavily against the front of the car, but did not loose consciousness. She saw a man standing just in front of her fall dead from a blow and then she stooped to pick up a little child who nad been thrown to the floor. As she arose she first became aware that she had been wounded and felt blood running down her cheek. Before having her injuries attended, however, she restored the child to his parents.

Three persons were killed in the wreck and many injured. Although the cut received by Mrs. Pape is by no means serious it was enough to unnerve most any of the weaker sex whose nerves had not been hardened by the wholesome life on a Wyoming ranch. Mrs. Pape intends staying a month with her parents before returning to her western home.

CHARGED BRIBERY Suit of Lewis Sharfstein Against Abram Flavelle Develops Sensational Testimony. The case of Lewis Sharfstein against Abram Flavelle, to recover $149 for fats and hides sold to the defendant, tried before Justice M. L. Ferris this morning, developed a strange. not to say startling, line of testimony.

The defendant claimed a discount of $49, based on the charge that Sharfstein bribed one Hulshart and one Kirby, two of Flavelle's former employes, to charge the Tatter with overweight. By this method, practiced, as alleged, for some time, Flavelle says he was mulcted to the amount set forth in the answers. Kirby and Hulshart were cross-examined by Counselor Wesley B. Stout for the plaintiff. They were both unable to" remember when the alleged overcharges were made or how they Were made.

Justice Ferris reserved his decision until Tuesday. Wesley B. Stout appeared for the plaintiff: Patterson -and Rhome represented the defendant. REV. HUNZBERGER TO PREACH HERE Will Occupy First M.

E. Pulpit Tomorrow, Possible as Candidate For Pastorate. Rev. Dr. W.

A. Hunzberger of the First M. E. church, Camden, who will preach in Dr. Wedderspoon's church and conduct the services tomorrow, will be remembered as the "marrying parson." He was transferred to the New Jersey conference when Dr.

W. A. Allen, in search of health, was obliged to go to Colorado Springs. At that time it was expected that Mr. Hunzberger would come to Asbury Park and assume the pastorate here.

He was later transferred to Trenton, however, and was afterward assigned to the wealthy Camden church over which he now presides. This church will observe its anniversary tomorrow and Dr. Wedderspoon has been asked to conduct these exercises. The arrangement therefore, between the two preachers, is in the nature of an exchange. Dr.

Hunzberger is described as a forcible and aggressive preacher. It is believed that he will fill the First M. E. pulpit tomorrow as a candidate for the pastorate. Read tomorrow's Shore Press.

COMMITTEE TO GIVE 6 PER CENT DISCOUNT Township Board Will Pass Ordinance Allowing Rebate on All Taxes Paid Before Dec. 20--- Collector Hetrick Believes It Will Bring In Money. At a special meeting of the Neptune township committee last evening Collector C. E. F.

Hetrick appeared before the board and requested that they pass a resolution authorizing the township counsel to prepare an ordinance granting the taxpayers of Neptune township a 6 per cent, per annum discount on all tax bills paid before Dec. said discount to be figured from the date of payment until Dec. 20. The resolution was passed by the committeemen and township Attorney Samuel A. Patterson is at work upon the ordinance.

It will be passed in time to take effect this fall. This is the first discount that has been allowed taxpayers in that municipality for several years and has been under consideration by the committee for some time past, Walter Hubbard being the strongest supporter of the idea. A large taxpayer, who annually pays between $400 and $500 to the township collector, called at the collector's office early in November, last year, with the purpose of drawing a check in payment of his tax bills. Upon learning that there was no discount allowed he walked out of the office saying, "My money is as good to me as to you. I will pay my tax bill on Dec.

20," which he did. It is thought that the discount will remedy such actions as the above, which is only one of numerous others. Mrs. Bugge wishes to announce that she will be at her store, 558 Cookman avenue, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Oct. 12, 13, 14, to meet her customers and make further inducements for purchasing art embroidery, ladies' furnishings and novelties.

Another case of "devilish oneryness" has occurred in Bradley Beach. Yesterday afternoon Burney Poland, a.resident of that borough, strolled into Rose's pharmacy with the object of quenching his thirst. At the soda fountain he ordered a chocolate ice cream soda. He ate the ice cream and then informed Mr. Rose that his soda was below par in quality.

Rose, thinking that Poland was joking, confirmed his criticism. whereupon the younger member of the Poland family threw the silver, holder, glass and the remains of the beverage through a large plate glass window, breaking it in several pieces. Burdette Poland, father of the young man, has promised to pay for his son's smashing. MISSIONARIES TO MEET Meeting of Women's Synodical to Be Held In Presbyterian, Church Here Oct. 13.

The Schubert Glee club of this city has arranged a very attractive schedule for its Lyceum course of entertainments during the winter. The opera house on Sewall avenue, near Grand avenue, has been selected as the place of holding all the entertainments. The casino was under consideration, but it was thought that if unfavorable weather should occur on any of the dates scheduled in mid-winter it would probably deter patrons from attending, owing to the difficulty that would be experienced in reaching the casino.

Tickets for the entire course have been fixed at $1.50, with $1.00 extra for reserved seats for the course. This will make the entire cost $2.50, or less than 50 cents for each entertainment. Former courses of the Schubert nave been firstclass, and the talent secured for the coming series is among the best procurable. The dates fixed and the attractions are a as follows: Friday, Nov. 11-Maro, Prince of Magic, and Saxaphone quartet.

Friday, Dec. 9-Arthur W. Pryor, with concert company. Monday, Jan. 2-Schubert Glee club, with assisting artists.
