Nabbing a Newark Thief.

At half-past three this morning the
Waterman in D. C. Higgins furniture
store at No. PAT Market street, Newark,
was aroused by a noise in the basement
of the store. He proceeded to the base
ment it'.st in time to discover a man try
ing TO get through the fan light over the
door. He at nee laid hold of the mans
legs, and hung on for dear life. The man,
in his attempts to escape, kicked the
watchman a terrific blow in the face, cut
ting a cash in his head about two inches
long.
BY this time the attention of officers
Westerman, Pugh, Daneburger, Heary
and Sergeant Tracy were attracted to the
spot by the watchman's cries for help.
Some went to the back entrance n some
to the front. He was at last entrapped,
pulled through the fanlight and put in
the possession of the officers.
AT Police Headquarters he gave the
name of George Meredith and said he
lived in New York, but was born in Eng
land.
In his possession were a set of skeleton
keys, some money and a package OF
brown paper with Irvine to tie up the
swag.
There was also a return railroad ticket
to New York, dated December 20, and he
said he left there last night.
The police believe he is an old crook.
He also had a pawn ticket for a coat II
vest, made out to the name of Wilson, for
$4.12. He was locked up pending investi-
cation.

A Little Colored Girl Reaches Here on
n Long Tramp.
A Waterman on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road observed a thirteen-year-old colored
girl walking YEARLY along The tracks
heal the city limits this morning. The
girl stopped to ask him some questions,
which led him to call Patrolman Nc
CURES attention to her case. AT head
quarters she told Chief Murphy that she
had ''trampedn all the way from Nanvet,
N. ". on the Northern Railroad, and was
on her way to the Buckingham Hotel,
Fifteenth street, Washington, of which
her uncle, Alexander Peters, was proprie-
tor.
She gave her name as Lucy Jones, and
said her father was dead. Her mother,
she said, was living out at service in
Washington.
In response to the Chiefs question as
to what she had been doing in Manuel,
she replied that some months ago a Mr..
Allen and wife stopped at the Buckiag-
ham Hotel in Washington, where she was
then living with her uncle. The couple
took a great fancy to her and persuaded
her uncle to let them take her home with
them. After awhile she became tired of
her new home and yesterday ran away
and started afoot for Washington.
She is unusually bright and intelligent
and greatly interested all the officers at
Police Headquarters.
Chief Murphy telegraphed the police of
Washington to inform her uncle of her
whereabouts.

Singular Poverty of the Trenton Banks
Nabbing a Midnight Prowler at New
ark A Variety of News from all
Parts of the State.
At nine O'Clock yesterday morning
workmen in the employ of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company closed up poth
ends of the Chambers street bridge with
four inch planks. The bridge was &C
cepted only last week, and its opening
was celebrated with a big dinner. Al
the meeting held before the dinner the
Board of F~reeholders passed resolutions
in praise of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company that were fairly fuisome, ana
now the company has closed the rlght Oh
way.
The county owes the railroad company
S13. 500 on account of the CONSTRUCTION
of the structure, and this amount Snouiu
have been paid yesterday. IL Would
have been only for q queer conolhaIion
of circumstances. The taxes that
have been collected for county purposes
by the city and townships are over
due. but except a small sum paid by
the city, none has been received by
the county collector; therefore the treas
ury does not contain sufficient to pay the
debt to The AT the last meeG-
ing OF the Board of Freeholders the col
lector was authorized to borrow Sl5,oO0 IN
anticipation of taxes for the purpose OF
paying this bill, and it was developed mat
the banks had no money to lend. one
bank could lend $1,000 and another had
none to lend.
The taxes will be paid to the county
within q few days, when the railroad com
pany will get it's money. Several of the
Freeholders seen yesterday thought the
railroad company had resorted to extreme
measures that reflected on he credit OF
the county when there was no occasion
for them.
e. f. Brook. the Chief Engineer and
Master of Way at Jersey City, was at
once communicated with by a county Off
cial, but no one was sent to remove the
barriers from the bridge. IL will prob
ably remain closed until the bill is paid.
