Demands of New Jersey Potters.

TRENTON, NJ j., Jan. 10-The operatives of
the potteries talked all day of the latest propo
sition by the manufacturers, namely. to accept
English wages, plus protective tariff of SIS per
cent The unanimous sentiment was against
the proposition. unless the manufacturers would
add to the tariff the consul fees, brokerage,
custom house dues, insurance, etc, which
English importers have to pay in addition to the
tariff. The operatives demand the appointment
of board of arbitration to investigate whether
reduction is necessary to the welfare of manu-
eacturers. Should the appointment of board
be not agreed to by the manufacturers within
the next four days, the operatives will declared
lock out and begin drawing upon the funds of
the knights of Labor.

A Sneak Thief Arrested.

Thursday night about midnight Marshal
Andrews received telegram from the Chief
of Police of Boston to arrest one Thomas
Dagan of Fall River, Mass, Frenchman
charged with stealing valise from hotel
in Fall River Officers McDonough and
Skillings went at once to the Boston boat
wharf and on arrival of the steamer ar
rested the fellow He had a yalise with him
but said it was his property and contained
only old clothes. The officers, however, took
Dagan and the yalise to the station and
locked him up. There an examination was
made of the valise, and it was found to con-
tain about $50 worth of old clothes, over
$1400 in notes running against different par
ties and all due before Januaryi1st; also a
bank book representing $1,000 on deposit in
a Fall River bank (and not in Dagan's
favor. It was plainly evident from this
that the man had not told the truth, so he
was held and the Boston office notified of the
arrest. Officer Sullivan arrived in the city
during the forenoon and started back with
his prisoner on the noon train. 1t seems that
Dagan put up at Fall River hotel and when
he took his departure he stole the valise,
which belonged to another guest OF the
house, Mr.. Albert Foye of New Bedford.

AFTER THE BEER.
A Long search for Barrel of Ale.

Yesterday afternoon, as Officers Sterling
Slower and Thrasher were on prowl after
the forbidden, they dropped into Thomas
Welch's place, ON the corner of Centre and
Fore streets. The front store, which was
formerly used as a shop, has not been en-
ployed, so the officers say, for some time, but
the back shop has, and consequently it was
here the police turned their attention. Off
of the back shop is a closet, used apparently
for coal and odds and ends, and the officers
looked it over carefully. They noticed a
panel in the closet which appeared more
soiled than the others, and while working
over it, it pushed up. disclosing faucet,
from which the officers turned about two
quarts of beer.
They followed the pipe down into the
cellar and out of the house into the back
yard The theory was that by following
the pipe, or hose, they should come to the
building where the barrel of beer was
| located. and from whence the liquid was
pumped through the hose. After much effort
| two men were secured to do the digging and
| they worked with will. In the meantime
| the news of what was going on spread
| rapidly, and it was but little time before
an immense crowd gathered The day force
was relieved at p. m. by the night force,
and the scene was quite impressive; the
great crowd from the outside of the fence
watching the men digging in the yard, whose
labor was illumined by two lanterns, while
the electric light threw its glare over all and
brought out the faces in bold relief The
pipe was located about foot and half
| below the surface.
At the hour of going to press the officers
had dug nearly across the yard, but had not
then reached the beer. They had been at
work since o'clock yesterday afternoon.
