POOR TOM FOLEY INSANE.

The Sergeant-at-Armsa at the Court House
Suffering from Paralysis of the Brain.
Thomas Foley, the well known Ser
geant-at-arms at the Court House, has
become hopeless invalid. He is at his
home suffering from paralysis of the
brain.
Tuesday he went to New York to see
the parade and his conduct was so peculiar
that he was arrested on a charge of intox-
ication. This was found to be mistake
and he was taken to Gouverneur Hospital
and from there sent to Bellevue.
AS he failed to return home his wife, on
Wednesday morning, called on ex-Assem-
blyman Thomas Noonan and asked him
to find her husband. Mr.. Noonan made a
search of the station houses in New York
and finally traced Mr.. Foley to Bellevue.
Foley recognized Mr.. Noonan and went
home with him in peaceful manner, act.
ing like good natured child. His gold
watch and chain and pin given him by
Court Stenographer Nugent We're missing
when he was arrested.

The Police Learn Nothing
About Their Tongue
Tied Little Guest.
sTRAYED DURING THE PARADE.
Homes Found for All the Lost
Children Picked Up Except
One.

One of the police features of the Centen-
nial excitement was the number of strayed
and missing children.
A dozen little ones who became sep
arated from their guardians and custo-
dians in the great crush have fallen into
police hands, and homes have been found
for all, save one poor little tongue-tied
fellow
And the police fear that he is the victim
of designed and planned abandonment.
He is plainly but cleanly dressed, and
wears red, white and blue badge pinned
to his jacket He was found in an Erie
street car and given over to the police.
The fact that he awaits his parents at
Police Headquarters has been advertised
far and wide, and it is because no one has
called to claim him that it is feared that
he has been abandoned. He cannot give
the police any aid in locating his home,
because he las no command over his
tongue, and the only response he can
make to every question is an inarticulate
cultural sound, which means everything
to him, but nothing to anyone else.
Besides him, the police have two other
lads on their hands. One of these, a
bright faced twelve-year-old chap, was
picked up at Palisade Park by Clothier
Hoffman last night. He was without
money to pay his fare and the conductor
of the train put him off at that point.
Hoffman brought him to this city, and to
Chief of Police Murphy the boy said first
that he had come from Cambridge. Mass,
and that his father, who is dead, had been an
architect. The Chief accused him of lying
and on pain, of being locked up the boy
confessed that he is George Reddoin, son
of an architect living on Blum street.
Union HILL He had run away from home
and tried to deceive the police into helping
him on his travels as far as Cambridge.
His parents were notified.
The other boy describes himself as
Robert Fisher, of Elizabeth. Policeman
Goetz picked him up He wanted to see
the Centennial and had just pushed his
way through.
Chief Murphy says that of the children
whom the police have sent home since the
big Centennial began, two were from New
ark, two from New York and OF ? from
Brooklyn. They had evidently followed
the stream of travel past their homes and
then been caught up by the crush and
swept involuntarily along with the tide to
this city
Chief Murphy remarks that the Ceuten-
NAL afforded splendid opportunities for
those who wanted to get rid of children
to bring them to New York from distant
points and drop them in the streets.

MIR. VAN KEUREN PROTESTS.
He Says He Is Not in Combine in the
Board of Works.

The old Board of Works met this morn
ing and transacted routine business only.
A. Ruttenhorn. of No. 243 Central avenue
wrote to call attention to the dangerous
condition of the sewer basins in the
Fourth district, especially those on Cen
trail avenue at Franklin street and Sher-
man place. The communication was re-
ferred to the proper committee.
Mr.. Jacob Ringler's request for permis-
sion to repave, at his own expense, the
street in front of his new building on
Bergen avenue, near Montgomery street.
was referred to Commissioner Van Keuren
and the Chief Engineer.
The contract for improving Terrace
avenue, between Reserve avenue and Lin
coin avenue, was awarded to Keiss g.
Mcdonald, and Thomas Coogan received
the contract for building sewer in
Hooker avenue, from Ocean avenue TO
Avenue E.
Each Commissioner was authorized to
appoint q man to distribute water bills at
81 per day, and advertisements were or
dered to be made for 10, 300 tons of coal for
the Belleville station from either of taese
mines:-Sugar Loaf, Packer, Spring Noun
tain, Highland and Silver Brook.
The sum of 81 ,000 was appropriated for
paving Cooper place with asphalt, and the
Chief Engineer was instructed to prepare
plans and specifications for the improve
ments. The Board of Finance has con-
CURED in the resolution authorizing this
appropriation, and as the Mayor tailed TO
sign or veto it within the prescribed time,
it became operative.
Mr.. Van Keuren and Mr.. Simpson took
exception to the story, that they were con,
nected with combine. They declared
that they were there simply for the clty's
good. The Board adjourned until next
Monday morning.

DEAD In THE JAIL.

End of a Nurseryman Who Put Paris
Green in His Wife's Beer.
Michael Duffy, an East Newark nursery
man, who was lodged in the Jail on the
Heights last Saturday on his wife's charge
of having attempted to poison her, died in
his cell yesterday. Duffy was a man of
meal- and controlled one of the largest
nurseries in the Kearney section of East
Newark. He had got into the habit of
drinking and every time he Ill used his
wife.
Last Friday he went out and made q
purchase of beer. He afterward bought
Paris green, and dropped it into the can
in which he was carrying his beer. When
he reached home his wife was entertain
ing some friends. Duffy placed the can
of beer on the table, and one of the visi-
tors was about to take drink from it
when the clerk at the store at which the
poison had been purchased rushed breath
lessly up to the house, and excitedly
spoke to Mrs. Duffy. The next instant
she dashed into the room and bade her
guest put the can of beer down.
''My GodP' she exclaimed, ''It has been
poisoned"
Duffy took the can and emptied it's con-
tents out on the ground. His wife made
complaint to Justice Lynch and he was
taken into custody and lodged in the Hud
son County Jail.
1t is supposed that the withdrawal of his
allowance of whiskey may have fastened
his death, as he was on the verge of de-
lirium tremens when arrested. On Mon
day he begged from his cell for whiskey.
Yesterday he became very violent, and
howled and threw himself against the bars
of his CELL He was taken out, straight
jacket was put on him, and he was placed
In a padded cell.

While a Policeman Was
Searching a Wood Chas.
Danhart Was Drowning.
A LONG STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.
His Companion Urged to Fresh
Efforts by the Dying Mans
Appeals.

A row boat capsized in Newark Bay, off
Greenville, last evening, and Charles Dan
hart, aged twenty three, of No. % Pam
rapo avenue, was drowned.
Just as it began to get dark Policeman
Bose, who was on duty along the canal
where it divides Jersey City from Bay
onne, heard cries of distress He was at
a loss to locate the direction from which
they came, and soon they ceased. Shortly
afterward they were repe ated, only to
die away again. A third time the po lice
man heard the cries, and this time he
thought they proceeded from the wood on
the other side of the canal. They seemed
to be uttered by a woman.
Accordinglyhe crossed the water. When
he reached the wood all was quiet again.
He began to search the wood, and was
moving along the shore of the bay, when
he was startled to see in the gloom the
figure of man come stumbling and stag
gering up out of the water.
Water was running from the man IS
exhausted. When he caught sight of the
policeman he attempted to speak, but for
while could say nothing. Bose took him
to the Webster avenue station, where he
was soon revived,
He described himself as Charles Fisher,
twenty-five years, of No. 28 Pamrapo av-
enue, and SAID that yesterday afternoon he
and Danhart went fishing in the Bay, off
Greenville, in row boat. Toward even
ing they pulled up their anchor
and started to row ashore. AS
they approached the land their boat
capsized. Fisher could swim and he
Immediately struck out for the shore,
while Danhart hung on to the keel of the
upturned boat 1t was Danhart's cries
which the policeman heard. Fisher said
he thought he must have been struggling
in the water about two hours before he
finally reached the shore. During that
time he heard the cries of Danhart at
frequent intervals and they caused him
to renew his efforts to reach the shore to
obtain assistance. Finally he heard his
companion give one cry louder than the
others and then all was still. Then he
made one last effort to reach land and was
successful.
Fisher was taken to his home, and
Michal Ryan and Joseph Shafer, two Of
Danhart's friends, started out In a boatto
look for him. They could find no trace of
the missing man or the upturned boat
until four O'Clock this morning, when
Ryan discovered dark object in the
water near the shore. The boat was
pulled toward it, and it was found to be
Danhart's body.
The body was brought ashore and taken
to Danhart'S home

WORK FOR COMMISSIONER KELLY.
Colonel Robinson Continues to Be Clerk
of the Old Police Board.

Colonel Robinson Continues to Be Clerk
of the Old Police Board.
The old Board of Police Commissioners
met yesterday. Colonel Gilbert Robin
son, who was elected Clerk of the Mayors
new Board, continued to act as Clerk.
Commissioner Kelly, who has been
made a member of the Mayors new
Board, was absent. There was rumor
that the Commissioners were thinking of
making Commissioner Nugent a captain
in the place of Captain Thomas Ed
monston, whom the Board expects to re-
tire on May II. The scheme, If there is
one, did not materialize, and Com
missioner Nugent declares that the rumor
is wholly without foundation.
The Board passed the April salaries.
Notice was received that Commissioner
Kelly had filed his bond Commissioner
Roberts suggested that as Mr.. Kelly had
qualified it would, perhaps, be wise to put
him on some of the committees, Com
missioner Kelly, it will be remem bered,
was excluded from the committees at
the recent organization of the Board
as punishment for his action in helping
the new Board to organize.
President Davis placed Mr.. Kelly on the
Committees on Printing and Stationery,
on Salaries and Appointments, and on
Health.
The Board then adjourned subject to the
call of the chair.

WILLIAM UTzs NARROW ESCAPE.
His Horse Throws Him and Plunges Into
a Cellar.

His Horse Throws Him and Plunges Into
Cellar.
What might have proved serious acci-
dent, but luckily was unattended with
serious results, befell Mr.. Viii
liam Utz on Monday afternoon.
Accompanied by Mr.. Schneider and
Mr., Huber, he was riding along Park
avenue, Hoboken, on the way to Secaucus,
when, at the corner of Eleventh street, the
horse ridden by Mr.. Utz, which was spir-
tied animal, plunged and jumped against
the railings guarding the cellar of an un-
occupied house on the corner. Mr.. Utz
was thrown and was trodden upon by the
careering horse. The inside OF, T, his thigh
was badly bruised and swollen.
The horse broke down the railing and
fell head first into the cellar, distance
of ten feet. How he escaped being
killed is wonder. The animal
was raised with ropes until
high enough to be taken through the
basement window, then it was led through
the house to the street. 1t was unin-
jured and was in the parade in New York
yesterday.
Mr.. Utz's friends were much alarmed,
but he experiences no inconveni-
ence save little pain, and
is ready to take part in
the civic parade today. Mrs. Utz, how
ever, is afraid, and will not allow it. Mr..
Utz is an expert equestrian, and cannot
understand how the horse got the better
of him

Following a Man Across
the Ocean to Rob Him
Of His Riches.
! CENTENNIAL INCIDENT.
Armed with Canes that Had Candle-
sticks Fixed in the Top for Mid
night Work.

The police this morning made second
arrest in connection with the robbery of
Antony Boster at the Eagle Hotel on
Pavonia avenue last Monday The sec
ond victim of the police gives the name Of
Abram Ross Fruitiers de Talman had
been arrested yesterday. Antony Bos-
ter, the victim of their greed, is one Of
eight Hollanders who arrived in this
country a month ago. He was accom-
panied by his wife and $4,000 The money
he kept locked in a valise at the bottom Of
one OF there trunks, which was also kept
locked.
The party of Hollanders were all on the
best of terms with each other. De Tai
man, Boster and Ross were especially
friendly, and in the short time since their
arrival have been on several larks.
Three weeks ago Boster missed a so
bill, and accused de Talman of stealing it.
They had a falling out. But matters were
soon mended, and De Talman and Boster
were as friendly as ever.
Boster and his wife took in the naval
parade Monday, while some one took out
his valise of money and made away with
a portion of the contents.
The robbery was reported at the Second
Precinct Police Station, and Captain
to capture the robber. PATROL
man Rimbrandt, who speaks Dutch,
met Frutier on Grove street Tuesday
night, and pretending to be friend from
the old country, engaged him in conf
Dental chat. Fruitier, who was 1ntoxi-
Gated, admitted that he took the $40 bill
from Boster's va]ise three weeks ago.
The officer locked him up. In his pos
session was found a key that fitted De
Talman's valise.
One of the chambermaids at the hotel
notified Proprietor Evans yesterday that
she saw Ross ascend to Boster's room and
come out with a valise, which he took to
his own room, and after ransacking it,
returned to Boster'S room.
This morning he was arrested. When
searched $16 in money was found on Ross
and both he and De Talman had canes,
with scooped-out tops covered with silver
plated hoods. In this receptacle taper
candle was adjusted, and matches to
light it lay by its side. Rimbrandt says
they are such canes as German house
breakers use to light them on their mid
night expeditions.
The police believe that the two men are
professional German crooks, who fol-
lowed Boster across the water to rob
him, and to take in the Centennial, for
business incidentally.
