Policeman Murphy Indignantly Denies
Scavenger Sneider's Charge.

Policeman Murphy Indignantly Denies
Scavenger Sneider's Charge.
John Sneider, a scavenger, of No. 23
Paterson street, Hoboken, was arraigned
before Justice Stilsing, this morning, and
in his defence made serious charge
against Policeman Murphy, who arrested
him. Murphy stated that last night he
on Monmouth street. In accordance with
nit.
Sneider, who was asleep in buggy, be-
came abusive and the policeman put him
was obliged to call Policemen LAWNS and
McGurk TO his assistance.
On the way to the police station
Sneider, the policeman says, declared that
he was friend of Commissioner Kelly and
that he would have Murphy dismissed
from the force
Sneider said in his own behalf that he
Ould not find his permit when first asked
tor it as it was mixed up with O large
bundle of papers. Murphy he alleges,
then said to him that he would fix it up
if he would give him 81.
Murphy, who has the reputation of be-
ing an excellent policeman Indignantly
denied Sneider's accusation. He alleges
that while he was trying to arrest Sneider
Charles Black, workman of Sneider's,
ran up with an uplifted hatchet and
threatened him. Black was also charged
with cruelty to animals, as the horses
which he was driving were covered with
sores under their collars. He was held for
examination

ACCUSES HIS VENERABLE SON.

White Haired Patrick Maloney in Court
Against White Haired Michael Maloney.
A white-haired old man, feeble with
age, supported himself on his cane as he
tottered up to the bench of Justice Stills
ing's court room this morning.
He was Michael Maloney, who has for
forty years attended one switch in the
Erie Railroad yards.
''I'm here, yer Honor" he said to the
Court, Ito make charge of assault
against my son, Patrick"
When Patrick was called forward an
other gray haired man, less feeble than
the old switch-tender, stepped from the
crowd.
Holding his hat with both hands in
front of him, he walked with sheepish air
to the middle of the court room.
Justice Stilsing looked up in astonish-
ment.
rs that your SOM" he asked of the de-
crepit old man.
"He is, yer Honor"
"How old are you, Michael?" queried
the now amused Court.
"Pm seventy-seven, yer Honor"
"And how many may you be, Patrick?"
the Court asked, turning his attention to
the other man.
"I'm fifty-three, yer Honor,n was his
half-muttered response.
The old man said that his almost
equally aged son had kicked and abused
him.
"And he tried to poison me-" said the
younger of the old men, pointing to the
older of the old men.
"It's poisoned with rum, he is" re-
torted the old switchman.
There is doubt of the younger of the
old mems sanity. He is committed to
await examination. He is unmarried and
has lived with his father till now.

A Gang of Little HoOdlums Whose
Specially Is Highway Robbery.
It isn't everybody who knows what "de
Faders" is, but the little fellow who runs
afoul of them with watch chain
dangling from his blazer shirt, or
errand money clutched in his
fist, OF bundle of JERSEY
CITY NEwsEs under his arm,
is apt to find out in twinkling that they
are gang of young but daring highway
men who hide themselves among the
newsboys in the lower part of the city.
A little fellow, SO full of misery that
he was trying to shove his knuckles into
his skull through his eyes, came blubber-
ing into THE JERSEY CITY NEWS office
whats the matter with your" asked
one of the hands.
"Dey stole all me Journals, /" sobbed the
boy.
''Who stole all your Journalist"
"Why de Faders.n
1t didn't take THE NEWS man long to find
out who 'de Faders" were, and with
bundle of NEwsES under his arm he
started down to look for the particular
"Fader" that had robbed this particular
victim
The sobbing boy pointed out blackeyed
boy in the throng of newsboys at the ferry
gates. THE NEWS man nabbed him, and
this morning Police Justice Stilsing held
him for trial.
The boy was Gustav Lehlbach. His
father was a well to do barber till few
years ago, his wife somehow got in
blaze.
He was suspected of having set fre TO
her. His business was ruined, and the
family afterward went to Snake Hill as
DauDerS.

HIS WIFE LAY IN AMBUSH.


And Bookkeeper Potter Was Caught
launching with Pretty Girl.
The hands employed in the First and
Washington street corner of one the Lor-
illard building, were treated to free cir
midday lunch.
The actors were Mr.. Potter, head
bookkeeper for the Macopin Ice Company,
a pretty young woman with whom he
was lunching, and his 1SO-pound wife
with a bouncing baby in her arms.
About two months ago Mr.. Potter en-
gagged board at f. B. Kohlbund's restaur-
ant, at the corner of First and Green
streets. The location was convent
traced him there last week and
also tried to engage board at the same
place. Being informed that no lady
boarders were taken, she secured apart
ments near by, from which she could
keep an eye on her husbands movements.
On Monday, while passing G. Bush's Is
streets, she espied her truant husband en-
joying an elaborate lunch in the ladies'
dining room in company with a young
woman.
She became furious. With her child in
her arms she grabbed up big stick from
the sidewalk and made for the restaurant.
Mr.. Potter and the pretty young
woman had finished their lunch and
were just stepping joyously into the
street when they were confronted by the
enraged, portly Mrs Potter, the baby and
the stick. There was murder in Mrs.
Potter's eye, and Mr.. Potter knew it.
A nice piece of business for a married
man. Oh you-you-but you're nice
father, amt your" angrily cried the out
ragged woman. "And who are your
turning with scorching glances to Mr..
Potter's astounded lunch partner. :.
Here, Mr.. Patter, take your darling"
took the little bouncer from Mrs. POtter's
arms. Then he tried to appear cool by
toying with the youngster in q paternal
and affectionate style, while he attempted
an explanation.
But Mrs. Patter was in no mood to
listen to explanations. The sight of the
pretty interloper was enough for her.
She made for the woman with a stick.
Mr.. Potter quickly deposited his baby on
the dirty sidewalk and grabbed his law
full wife with anything but gentle hand.
The racket had by this time drawn q
crowd of curious people. The men in
Lorillard's f1ocked to the windows to wit
ness the performance. In the meantime
the strange woman made a hasty
exit from the scene, and Mrs.
Potter yelled to the men in
the crowd to come and help her. That's
what the men say. Mr.. Potter soon got
out of the crowd, and Mrs. Potter and
her baby took the next train for Point
Pleasant, where her relatives reside.

DOUGLASS BRINGS suit.
He Will Test the Scope
of the Tenure of
Office Act.
ONE POINT DECIDED FOR HIM.
He Won't Have" to Do Patrol
Duty Till the Supreme Court
Renders a Decision.

Detective George Douglass won the first
battle in his war against the Police Com
missioners before Justice Dixon, of the
Supreme Court, in Chancery
Chambers. Mr.. M. I. Newbold
IN his behalf applied to the
Justice for writ of certiorari to remove
che proceedings of the Police Board.
which assigned him to patrol duty, into
the Supreme Court for review.
Mr.. Newbold stated the fact that Doug
lass was appointed detective in June,
1887; that since that time he had never
and claimed that the action of the Board
was an attempt to reduce him in rank in
violation of the Tenure of Office law.
HAS HIS RANK BEEN REDUCED?
Corporation Council Edwards, who rep
resented the city, opposed the motion and
part of the Commissioners either to de-
grade Douglass or reduce his salary
He also read the resolution sending
Douglass to the Fourth Precinct. and
claimed that it did not make him n patrol
man.
Mr.. Newbold read an affidavit of
Douglass, in which it was stated that he
was ordered on patrol duty by Captain
Farrier, who told him that in accordance
with the resolution of the Board he
would have to consider Douglass an
ordinary patrolman.
Mr.. Edwards still claimed that
there was no intention to make
Douglass patrolman and read the
duties of a detective as laid
down in the manual of the force to show
that Douglass assignment was in strict
accord with his duty as detective.
"Just read the duties of patrolman,"
said Justice Nixon.
Mr.. Edwards read several sections when
the Justice interrupted him by saying
that that was sufficient, and that there
was doubt whether there is difference
between patrolman and detective.
A STAY GRANTED.
There seemed to be an attempt, the
Judge said, to change Douglass position,
pnd he thought that a reduction of salary
would necessarily follow reduction of
rank.
At any rate, he said the case was doubt
full enough to send it before the Supreme
Court and he would grant the rule.
Mr.. Edwards asked that the rule should
not act as stay Mr.. Newbo1d objected,
and after a consultation between the
Judge and counsel the stay was granted.
This, according to Mr. Newbold, will
prohibit the Board, or Captain Farrier, or
any one else, from assigning Mr.. Doug
ass to patrol duty until the matter is fin
llly decided by the court.

THE KICKERS' PRIMARIES.
They Will Be Held August 29, by
Districts, Not By Precincts.

The new Democratic Committee, as the
seceders from the General Committees
authority like to call themselves, held
the shortest meeting In Roche's Hall last
evening which they have had since they
started their kick.
The only business of Importance which
they transacted was to fix Thursday,
August go, between tie hours of four and
ten D. M, as the time for holding their
primaries for delegates to the Gnberna-
torial Convention.
Billy Kern started the ball rolling by
moving that the bylaws be suspended
and the delegates to the State Convention
be elected by districts instead of precincts.
This was objected to on the ground that
the voters could not be enrolled by pre-
cincts as called for by the constitution.
Mr.. Kern thought they could, and added
that district primaries would be far less
expensive.
Chas D. J. Noelke, who strenuously OBJ
jects to being called q Kern man, and who
in the absence of Chairman Stuhr, was pre-
siding with much dignity and grace, re-
marked that it would require two-thirds
vote to carry the motion, and then put
the question. It received three-thirds
vote and was declared adopted. The en-
rollment will be held two days before the
primaries.
The secretary read letter from Charles
d. j. Noelke stating that the Third Dis
trict Club had endorsed the new COM
mittee and asked to be recognized as q
cogwheel in the new machine.
The communication was received with
much applause and Mr.. Kern moved that
it be accepted and filed. Mr.. Noelke sug-
gested an amendment to the effect that
the club be notified and then, with an
did-that air, put the motion.
William Kern, Esq, announced that
the Fourth District Club would hold q
public meeting on Tuesday evening, and
according to Patrick Sheeran, club
will be organized in the Second district,
Monday evening. Mr.. Gallagher said q
club had been organized in the Seventh
district, which wished to be admitted into
the organization, while from the Tenth
district came the report that the organi
cation was well under way and ready tC
go to work for the cause of 'honest cleo
tionS and fair primaries"

NEWBOLD WINS HIS POINT.
Judge Dixon Appoints New Men to Con-
denim Currie's Woods.

Judge Dixon Appoints new men TO Con-
denim Currie's Woods.
Ex-Mayor Gilbert Collins, in behalf of
the Jersey City, Newark and Western
Railroad, which is the eastern extension
of the Lehigh Valley, applied to Justice
Dixon this morning for the appointment
of Commissioners to condemn right of
way through the Currie estate parallel to
the line of the Waverly and New York
Bay Railroad.
Counsellors NJ. r. Newbold and Charles
S. Black, who represented the Currie
estate, objected to the motion on the
ground that the papers upon which the
application was based were defective.
The petition set forth that the lands
sought to be condemned are the property
of ''Ellen, William and Robert Currie,
executors and trustees" while the affl-
davits submitted in verifcation of the
petition simply named the three persons
in their individual capacity.
This, Messrs. Newbold and Black
claimed was, according to the statutes,
fatal error and invalidated the proceed
ings.
A long argument in which copious ex-
tracts from the Revised Statutes were
submitted to the Justice for construction,
followed.
The Justice was inclined to consider the
appoint the Commissioners. He also said
that he was inclined to appoint Charles
W. Allen, John D. Carscallen and Henry
Dusenbury, who were now considering
the application of the Waverly and New
York Bay Railroad.
Mr.. Newbold then arose and said that
the gentlemen named were in position
which precluded him from offering any
objection to them. They were now con-
sidering an award to be made for prop
erty belonging to the parties affected by
the application and if he had the most
valid objections he would hesitate to ex-
press them until they had made their
award. He would therefore ask for an
adjournment.
81 don't think you could say anything
more uncomplimentary to the Commits
sioners, Mr.. Newbold," the Justice re-
marked, ethan that their verdict would
be influenced by your objections How
ever, will hear what you have to say"
Mr.. Newbold replied that he did not
think he should be called upon to state
his objections at this time. and put a
suppositious case to the Court to the effect
that if they should state their objections
in court and some one should carry them
to the Commissioners they might, as
human beings, none of whom are perfect,
to some extent be influenced by the objec-
tion.
The Justice thought if they were as
good as the average that they would not
Finally Mr. NeWbold said that he had a
specific objection to one of the gentlemen
on the Commission which he could not at
this time state, but which would merely
preclude his appointment by the Court.
In that case the Justice said he would
appoint new Commissioners, and after a
consultation with Messrs. Newbold, Black
| and Collins he named Charles II. ONeill,
| James Warner and John Garrick.
