A little over month ago there were a
series of robberies committed in Hobo
ken. The last robbery was that of
Driesen, the clothier, corner of Washing
ton and Second streets. The store was
entered and goods valued at $500 were
stolen.
Chief Donovan and Detective Gala
CHER have been working tirelessly on the
case, and have at last struck the trail.
Reilly ond Carroll, two New York crooks,
are lodged in the Tombs in New York,
aud will be brought to Hoboken some
time today on requisition.
1t appears from what can be learned
that a Mrs Mccarthy is implicated in the
ropbing Who Mrs. Mccarthy is can not
be learned, but it is said that she is we'll
known in Hoboken.
The goods that were stolen from Dries
ems place have been identified by Mr..
Driesen. They were disposed of in the
different pawnshops in the Eighth ward,
New York.
In one pawnshop in Varick street Mr.
Driesen found several overcoats that had
been stolen from him. The goods have
not yet been recovered.
What's the Fasshauer-Kaegebehn Fued?
Mrs. Fasshauer, of No. sS Court street,
Hoboken, visited Counsellor Bretfeh last
Friday and told him that her character
had been assaiIed by Charles Kaegebehn,
Jr., of Eighth and Washington streets,
and she thought that about 81, 900 would
sooth her wounded feelings.
She paid Counsellor Bretfeld $50 at the
time for retainer in the case. This
morning she visited Counsellor Bretfeld
and he informed her that there was not
enough evidence to warrant her in COM
mencing suit.
Then there was dispute about the $50.
What the specific charges against Kaege-
behn are is not known and the utmost
secrecy prevails. Kaegebehn is the son of
one Of Hoboken's most respected citizens
and it is thought that the case will not
reach the courts.

FORGOT TO PAY THEIR FARE.
The ID. /. & W. Road Suffers by Such
Forgetfulness as This.

The ID. i. & W. Road Suffers by Such
Forgetfulness as This.
For some time past the Morris & Essex
Branch of the D. L. & w. R. r. and the
Hoboken Ferry Company have been de-
frauded in a systematic manner Of their
fares by residents of Jersey City Heights
and Bergen.
The railroad and ferry authorities were
aware of what was going on, but owing
to the respectability of the parties VINO
were defrauding them refrained from
taking any stringent measures.
The plan of the beaters was this. They
would board an incoming passenger train
at the east end of the tunnel when the
train was brought to standstill and
stand on the platform. When the train
reached Hoboken they would alight and
mix in with the regular commuters and
cross the ferry, thus beating the railroad
and ferry companies.
Detectives were told to watch the trains
and make arrests. This morning they
waited at the tunnel until the $40 train
from Newark came along. When the
train stopped at the tunnel they boarded
it with two other gentlemen. The other
gentlemen forgot to pay their fare.
They were reminded of their forgetful-
ness when they reached the depot by
being tapped on the shoulder by the de-
tectives. They were brought to the sta
ton house, where they registered as
George Youmans. a salesman, of No. 206
Palisade avenue, Jersey City Heights, and
Alexander Scott, Jr., and engraver, of
No. 66 jefferson avenue, Jersey City
Heights. Owing to the respectable ap-
pearance of the prisoners the complaint
of disorderly conduct was not pressed and
the prisoners were discharged with a
reprimand

told the barber to get his pay out of

gentleman had nothing smaller, saying
at the same time that he had no change.
At this one of tho chaps very foollshly
