The Erie Defaulter Met on a Washington

1t was in spirit of grim humor that
one of the Erie ferry clerks interviewed for
THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS last Satur-
day morning informed the scribe that
James H. Starr, who eloped with guam
tity OF the ferry company's money, had
gone to Washington to attend the inau-
guration of President Harrison.
Recent discoveries as to Starts move
ments serve to show that his humorous
fellow clerk was not far out of the way. 1t
was learned at the Pennsylvania Railroad
depot today that Starr was among the pas
sengers who left this city on the quarter
past eight express train Friday morning.
Conductor Burridge, who knows him,
bowed to him as he collected his ticket
He had checked his valise for Washing
ton. When the train passed Philadelphia
he asked that his valise be given to him
before the train reached Baltimore.
Whether this was a blind to cover q ride
on the train beyond Baltimore, or whether
he left the train at that city, no one on
the train is able to say.
Starr boarded at Superintendent Ger
mond's house in Arlington while he and
Germond were employed at the Erie fer
ries.

TRENTON, March 5, 19s9.-No conference
of Hudson county members was held last
night, which indicates hitch in the pas
sage of the Jersey City charter. Senator
Edwards, at conference last week, prom
ised to have the bill ready on Monday, but
now delays presenting it.
1t is learned that such a bill as was de-
sired, providing for single headed COM
missions, appointed by the Mayor, was
drawn up by Ex-Governor Albeit and DR.
Leonard j. Gordon, and that Senator Ed
wards has had it in his pocket for weeks
There is a division of opinion among
Hudson county members over the bill,
and that Senator Edwards believes its
passage doubtful is shown by his intro
ducing bill last week in the Senate to
have three Tax Commissioners appointed
by the Mayor to take the place of the
present Assessors in Jersey City. At
eleven o'clock call of the House was
ordered. 1t was suspended to receive the
Jury Commission repeater from the Sen
ate. In exactly three minutes thereafter
the bill had passed its first and second
readings, and Colonel Heppenheimer had
begun to speak to the bill. 1t passed the
House by vote of 80 to "A.

PLAINFIELD, N. j., March 5, 1889 There
is still considerable excitement over the
liquor question in this city, The action of
the Common Council at their last meeting
previous to the one held last night in re-
caused the hotel keepers to close their
places. At the meeting of the
Common Council, last night, there was a
lively time when the question of granting
licenses was reconsidered Councilman
Jenkins, who is strongly opposed to grant
ing licenses, was absent, and his colleagues
in favor of the liquor men, took advantage
of this, and put through two of the appIi-
cations for hotel licenses. The aldermen
also voted to award the street electric

A Break in the Chicago Markets.
[Special to the Jersey CITY Nelos.l

CHICAGO, March 5, 1SS9-Wheat went
to pieces, this morning, on raid inaugur-
ated by Baldwin and Furman, probably
for Hutchinson. The clique gave the
market no support at all Fine weather
and large receipts make the crowd panicky.
The total stock of grain in regular elevators
and vessels in the Chicago harbor, covers
4,537, 600 bushels of wheat; 1874, 900 bushels
of corn, and 3,S29000 bushels of oats. OF
this amount 3,629,0o0 bushels of wheat,
bushels of oats are on contract.
May wheat, which opened at 1895 this
morning, had advanced to 103T, when,
without any sensational selling, prices
started downward, and it was not until
May reached 1904 that there seemed to be
any substantial support. Before the first
hour had passed May had reached to i0136,

SLOPPY BUT SIZE.

Racing Will BE Held This Afternoon and
Mud Horses BE in Demand by Backers
why the Clifton Management Could
Not Race Yesterday.
Contrary to promise of clearing weather
the rainfall continues, and although old
Sol made several attempts this morning
to assert his presence, rain is thus far in
the ascendency. The track at Gutenberg
therefore, will be sloppy and heavy
although so good has it been all season,
and SO carefully kept that it will be per-
fectly safe, while those among the really
good card of entries obtained that are best
able to make their way through mud and
slush will take the money.
1t was decided yesterday by the man.
agement to change its hour of commence
ment from half past one to two o'clock
p. m. But a change of determination has
been made. Gutenberg will still begin
at half past one O'Clock, but in day or
two another race, making six in all, will be
added to each days programme.
There was well defined rumor in New
York yesterday that all the pool rooms
would be opened. The doors, however,
were as tightly shut as ever, and the sport
ing contingent, rendered idle by the post
ponement at Clifton, were fain to be
content with matinee or evening per
formance at the. theatres. Many had
hoped, in the event of the pool rooms
being open, to have coined little money
by picking out New Orleans winners. It
is said the pool rooms will be opened this
afternoon or tomorrow evening.
The postponement at Clifton yesterday
was wise move on the part of the
authorities, and made in accordance with
the wishes of owners The track is in
part new, and the soil needs a seasons
packing. Had racing been held yester-
been noticed for time, but the track
would have become cutup, and materially
injured as the contests progressed.
The management Will not permit exer-
else of horses on the track for a day or
two, in order to enable Superintendent
Clair to dry it out in shape. Meanwhile
owners will use several good roads in the
vicinity for their work.

nrootIvn Beats Britain.

Mike Cushing had easy work in dis
posing of his antagonist, Harry Bartlett,
this morning in a fight of fourteen rounds
near the Clifton race track The mill was
for 81, 900 a side and the championship of
the world at 1877 pounds. Mike sported the
colors of Brooklyn, white. Bartlett's cor
ner was surmounted by the colors Of
Great Britain. The mill lasted through
fourteen rounds, at the conclusion Of
which Bartlett looked as though his head
and chest had passed in close conjunction
to circular saw. About forty sports
witnessed the mill and paid s35 each to see
the amusement. In the middle of the last
round Bartlett walked upto Gushing, and,
offering him his hand, told him in true
Cockney style that he had been defeated.
Mike gave the Britisher $25 as a sort of
consolation fund.

What He Thinks About the Saturday Half

asked Mr. Charles S. Furst this morn
ing what he thought of the Saturday Half
Holiday bill.
"Well," said he, "is that question not
dead YETI do not see anything but folly
in endeavoring to pass such a law here,
when an effort is being made to have it re-
pealed in New York. In case such law
should be passed, it would only benefit
the men who hold public offices, and in
no way concerns the merchants or their
employees, except that the banks could
do no business with customers in the
afternoon. If they forgot to draw money
in the morning with which to pay the en-
ployees they would not be apt to get
money until Monday. Take it all in all,
the law would be nuisance to trades
men. n

RoUaRs DEFY The POLICE.
They Hold Up Street Car Conductor
Besides.

Officer Thorpe of the Central railroad
police force, who is just out Of a sick bed,
had a dangerous tussle with negro yester
day, and the officer narrowly ezca ed being
seriously wounded At 2 o'clock, when he
got on a street car in front of the Central
railroad depot, Conductor T Ills pointed out
a negro on the rear platform and told
Officer Thorpe to arrest him.
The conductor said that the man bad
drawn dirk on him and had threatened
him. Officer Thorpe attempted to arrest
the negro, when the man stepped down off
of the car and said: No -- - shall
arrest me" The otfe stepped down after
him, and the negro drew a dirk and made
several thrusts at the officer barely missing
his throat. Thorpe drew his revolver but
before he could cover the negro the latter
turned and ran through a crowd.
The officer chased him, fearing to shoot
lest ne might hit somebody in the car she'd
but when the negro passed the crowd tue
officer opened fire on him. H shot twice,
but the man was too far in advance, and it
is thought that neither ball took effect The
negro trotted along through the Central
railroad yard With the dirk in his hand de-
fy ing the employees TO arrest him. Officer
Thorpe was too weak to chase him far, and
the negro ran down to the canal and disap-
peared.
Conductor Tillis said that he did not know
the name of the negro. He and com
panion boarded the West Broad street car
at Bolton street. One OF them was intoxi-
Gated, and they were both cursing. The
conductor told them to stop, when
they abused and cursed him and
refused to pay their fare. Farther
down the street white man got on the car
and the conductor called upon him to assist
in putting the negros off. The negroes got
off, and drawing their dirks detied either of
the men to put foot on the ground The
next trip out the negro got on the car again
just before reaching the Central railr. ad
depot, and it was then that Officer Thorpe
was called on to arrest him.
The city authorities were informed Of the
fracas, and the police were instructed to
look out for the negro. Policeman
Thorpe describes him as a very large, gin
ger colored man, with face marked by
SMALLPOX
