The Police Give Notice that the Werts
Bill Is Not Yet Operative.
The saloons and places of amusement in
Hoboken were yesterday closed up tight.
Refreshment could be obtained by q
knowing few, but generally the city went
dry On Saturday Chief Donovan had
every saloonkeeper informed that if he
opened to sell liquors it would be at his
peril.
1t was proclaimed Immediately after the
Werts bill had been signed by Governor
Green that yesterday would be a festive
day. Brass bands were to have been en-
gagged and carnival time indulged in.
The management of both Jacobs and
Cronheims theatres announced that
sacred performances would be given in
the afternoon and evening.
In conversation with Chief Donovan to-
day he said that he acted under the orders
of the Police Commissioners, and was pre-
pared to arrest any one who violated the
law. He had been informed that the new
law did not commence operation until
sixty days hence.
Manager Harrison, of Jacobs Theatre,
said that he intended to open, but did not,
as he received word that such course
might cause trouble.
Mr.. Cronheim had engaged a company
to play yesterday, and intended to open,
but he was informed by the police during
the week that he would again be arrested
if he violated the law. He said that the
action of the police had put him to consid-
cradle expense, as he had to pay the COM
pany for not holding to the contract.

AMONG THE SALOONS.

The Side Doors We're Freely Worked, but
the Curtains We're Drawn.
''There isn't an open place any where in
my precinct said Police Captain Nc
K aig, who is in charge of the Gregory
Street Police Station, last night.
That may have been true, but there was
scarcely saloon in the city which did not
do business through the side doors. When
/ passed the corner of Green and Mont
g0mery streets, at eight o'clock last even
ing, seven or eight men were making
their way into the saloon under the
Commercial building. The lights in
Smiths place on Hudson street looked as
though visitors were being entertained
there. A stroll through Henderson street
revealed bright lights in most of the
saloons and all on the Hill it was gener-
ally understood that business was being
done under cover.
Some of the saloonkeepers, however, ex-
posed the interior of their places to the
view of passers by. In E. A. Bodies place
on Montgomery street the curtains were
raised and dim light showed
nothing but darkened bar and
file of chairs within. At Alber's
saloon, in the Weldon Building, dim
lights that made attention to business i'm
possible glimmered. The lights in Stel-
1ing's place, on Montgomery and Greene,
were so low that it was evident no one was
there. These places are, however, simply
assorted exceptions to the side door traffic.

sioner Cannon stated was in a very dan
gerous condition. A resolution was
adopted resembling the action of two
weeks ago, which abolished the
office of tender of the bridge, which
carries the water mains over the
Hackensack river. Immediately after
ward it was resolved to, abolish the posi-
tion. This was done for the purpose of
complying with the order of the Supreme
Court compelling the Board to reinstate
George A. Lewis in the position.
A contract was ordered made with a. p.
Smith for the use of his patent cutting
machine for a term of years at 81 200.
The preliminary steps were ordered
taken toward having Willow court ex-
tended to Pavonia avenue, Griffith street
improved between Central and Milton
avenues, and for the building of O sewer
in Cambridge avenue from Griffith street
to Hutton street.
Objections to the proposed improvement
of Terrace avenue, from Reserve avenue
to Lincoln avenue, and of Hooker avenue,
from Ocean avenue to Avenue E, will be
be heard at ten O'Clock on the morning OF
April 30.
Steps were also taken to have Grand
street Strengthened opposite Fairmount
avenue along the property of Frank W.

BULGARIA AND AUSTRIA.
A Possible Balkan War-Win RudoIpls
Have an Heir?
by Cable to the United Press.l

[By Cable to the United Press.l
LONDON, March 25, 1885. Private adyices
from Sofia state that as result Of the
abdication of King Milan of Servia and
the probability of an ensuing attempt to
thoroughly Russianize that kingdom,
the influence of M. Zankoff, the head
and front of the pro-Russian party in
Bulgaria, is beginning to be seriously
felt. For some time past the scope of the
intrigues of Russian agents in Bulgaria
has been somewhat clrcumScribed, though
they have been by no means idle. Now,
however, they are becoming active, and
apparently taking no pains to conceal
their identity or their aims. At Tirnova,
Widdin and other places on the Dam
ube the same activity among the partisans
of Russia is observable, and the natural
differences is that movement having for
its object the overturning of the Bull
garian government and possible Balkan
war in the latter part of the spring or
early summer is preparing. The masSing
of Russian troops on the frontier is not now
being conducted as openly as formerly,
but it is still going on, nevertheless. Every
few days witnesses the arrival OF small de-
tachments of infantry, cavalry and artil-
lery, and the troops are kept moving about
so as not to disclose their actual number,
the aggregate, however, slowly increasing.
Meanwhile Milan who ran away from
is in Vienna, where he divides his time be-
tween shedding tears over the tomb Of Ru-
dolph and beseeching the assistance of the
broken-hearted and, some say, weak
minded Emperor Francis Josef in his
effort to keep ex-Queen Natalie out of Ser
via.
The story started short time ago in
Vienna to the effect that the Archduchess
Stephanie is in an interesting condition,
creating hopes that there may yet be q
natural heir to the throne of Austria
Hungary, is regarded by great many
persons with suspicion. 1t is true that
Stephanie is keeping herself secluded,
and it is possible, even probable,
that in due time male child
may appear upon the scene, but not
everybody will be induced to believe that
Stephanie is its mother. The relations
between Rudolph and his wife during the
later part of the Crown Princes life were
not such as to encourage belief
in the story Of the lady's condition,
but rather such as to suggest in the
minds of many who dare not say what
they think a suspicion that 1t was she and
not her husband who fired the shots
which ended the existence of the Crown
Prince and his mistress.

They Set Forth Yesterday
on a Horrible Career of
Rapine and Pil1age.
BUT THEY WERE CAPTURED.
Brought Back from New Bruns-

Sent to Bed.
Again has the county been saved.

Again has the county been saved.
Three noted desperadoes left Jersey City
yesterday to embark on a wild career az
rapine and pillage, but their intentions
were discovered and their criminal inten-
tions were nipped in the bud.
They had not thoroughly decided
whether to boom in Oklahoma, punch
cattle and ride wild horses upstairs In
Texas, lay waste the cultivated fields aud
drive terror to the hearts of the inhabft-
ants of Far Western Iowa, or to dig gold,
steal horses and shoot sheriffs on the
boundary line between old and New
Mexico.
These three terrors were Frank Wolf, Of
No. 1S7 Fourth street, George McGinness,
Of No. 42S Jersey avenue, and Frank
McCue, of No 1854 Third street.
For a long time these three desperate
characters have been contemplating set
ting forth on a course of crime
Their intentions were horrible in the
extreme. Cutting throats and scalping
Indians were among the mildest things
that they intended to do.
The only thing that delayed them was
lack of capital For a long time they have
Deen DOWN on Their luck, ana they nave
been forced, much against their will, to
preserve the semblance of decency.
But they only bided their time
Yesterday morning came the oppor-
tunity Kid McCue found that there was
sum of money in his mothers house, and,
seizing his chance, stole it.
He got q twenty dollar bill, and sent
around the call to the other members of
the reckless band of three.
They took train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad and started out with dire
thoughts of dreadful crime.
They did not get far, though.
At New Brunswick Detective Gregory,
in the employ of the railroad company,
saw them.
He knew them immediately as the no
torious Kid Frank, Kid McCue and Bad
George, wanted in Jersey City for ouW
rageOuS crimes.
He lay in ambush; surrounded the band
gathered them in, and brought them bac.-
to Jersey City.
They have all been well spanked and

The Academy of Music was not the only
place of amusement in this city
which enjoyed the distinction on Sat-

managers and actors For some time past
James German has conducted variety
show at Grand and Hudson streets. At
first he gave nightly performances, but his
efforts to amuse the residents of this city
were not appreciated, and his receipts
were so meagre that after while he gave
performances on Saturday evening only.
Mr.. German went to New York last Sat
urday and engaged three men and three
women performers to appear at his house
in the evening. They came over, dressed
themselves, and sat down to await the
summons to do their "turR" They
waited about an hour when German told
them that there was not enough money In
the house to give a performance and he
would not require their services.
They asked for their salaries, OF at least
enough to return to New York, but Cor
man refused to give them a cent. The
performers then applied to the police, but
as it was civil matter nothing could be
done for them. They left the city, prom

The baseball season was practically
opened yesterday, the newly organized
Metropolitan Club playing its first game
at Washington Park, and having for op-
ponents picked team of players, for the
most part members of one or the other
clubs of the new Atlantic Association.
The old Indians put up good game,
winning by score of II to 3. They were
attired in white IN adjyn uniforms, and if
the crowd present is any criterion of the
patronage to be bestowed on New York
city's old champions, they will enjoy o
prosperous seas on. About 2,5G0 people
were present, and they were very enthu-
siastic about the game.
Another feature of interest was the fact
that the new rules were put in force for
the first time, and their effect was watched
with interest.
The Metropolitans began scoring in the
first inning and were always ahead, al
though it was comparatively close game
until the last inning, when the Nets went
in and made six runs. The full score is as
