HOYT Is INDICTED.
Why the Hoboken Bank Einbezzler I
Not Yet Been ArraiEned.

Why the Hoboken Bank Ernbezzler Has
Not Yet Been Arraigned.
The fact that the Grand Jurors, who
served in the United States Courts at
Trenton during the last term, went to
their homes weeks ago, and that Hoyt,
the Hoboken bank embezzler, had not
been arraigned for his crime, has aroused
enquiry as to whether the parties who
had attempted to shield the young bank
thief from punishment had succeeded in
their efforts, and had given rise to the
notion that he had escaped Indictment for
his crime.
When JERSEY CRY NEWS reporter
called at the office of United States Dis
trfct Attorney Duryee in Newark yeSter.
day afternoon he was informed that Mr..
Duryee was out of town and would not
return till the morrow.
His assistant, Mr.. Howard w. Hayes,
was seen in his office in the building
across the way. He informed the reporter
that the United States Grand Jury found
an indictment for embezzlement against
Hoyt during its September sittiug; but,
on account of the death of Judge Nixon,
all proceedings were adjourned till the
term succeeding the appointment of
Jnoge Nixon's successor. That term will
open on the third Tuesday in January,
when Mr.. Hoyt will be brought before the
United States District Court at Trenton
to plead to the indictment. .'Mr. Dur
yee,' said Mr.. Hayes, 'is thoroughly
familiar with every detail Of the case, as
he, in company with Counsellor William
ID. DAILY, went TO Hoboken to inquire into
the facts of the case. A number of wit
nesses have been subpoened and they will
all be obliged to be present at the trial. !"
In answer to the question as to what he
presumed Mr.. Hoyt's penalty would be,
Mr.. Hayes took down volume from a
shelf and read Section $500 of the United
States Revised Statute. which applied to
cases like that OF Hoyt's. The fmprison-
ment, should Hoyt be convicted, win be
ten.
Mr.. Hayes was not prepared to state
that Mr.. Duryee had forwarded any
papers, He did not deem that it was
necessary on Mr.. Duryee's part to do so.

Lost the Game In the Last Frame by
Ten Pins.
The Bergen Bowling Club visited New
ark last night to play the first of the
series of games with their old rivals
the Independents.
The Bergen's vanquished the Newark
ers last year, and were confident of
again gathering in their scalps. They
missed connections last night owing to
the overconfidence of some of their
players, and the nervousness and i'll luck
of those of their crack bowlers who
barely reached triple figures.
Frank Gallery was in splendid shape
and put up 20l. His work should have
encouraged such bowlers as Bundy and
Ruempler, who can always beat the aver
age at home by a large majority.
Even with the low scores of few the
Bergens had the lead at the close of the
ninth frame by forty pins and the odds
were ten to one that they would win. The
Independents struck streak of luck in
the tenth frame and added 1s9, which
was Just half hundred better than the
Jersey City boys did, and the victory went
to the Newarkers by ten pins. The Ber-
gems are still confident OF winning the
series.

The Storm Makes Lakes of the Streets
1.-THE Shakes" Under Water.
The storm in North Hudson has made
a number of the streets impossible.
Cutters have been washed out and cellars
swamped.
In number of places in North Bergen
and the northern section of West Hobo
ken and Union Hill streets have been
changed into lakes and travel has been
entirely stopped.
In West Hoboken and Union Hill,
where number of sewers are being built
the storm ruined the work that had been
done, and it will take some days before
the damage can be estimated.
In Weehawken the lowlands bordering
on Hoboken are entirely under water,
and the people living in the Shades
have been obliged to resort to the old
batteaus. which they have in readiness
for such emergencies to reach dry ground.
The yards of the West Shore Railroad
also suffered little from the rain, but
the trains ran on the usual time.
The Gutenberg race track was dam
aged by the washout, and 1t will require
some days to put it In good condition
again. 1t was lucky that. there wasn't
much wind, or far greater damage would
have resulted.
