BY @MODOCS.'
A Picnic Party Assaulted at Rock
cellar Park by a Hoodlum Gang.

The members of Union Lodge No. 1851,
the Union Hill branch of Odd Fellows,
and their wives and sweethearts went to
West New York yesterday afternoon for
an outing.
Their pleasure trip nearly ended in q
tragedy.
About half-past five in the afternoon,
when the fun was at its height, q gang OF
West New York ruffians, known as the
"Modocs'' attempted to pass the gentle
men at the gate and1 force their way into
the park. They We're refused admission,
and went away, threatening to make it
hot for the picnickers.
They returned in about ten minutes
armed with sticks and stones, and in a
moment a small sized riotwas In progress.
Messrs. Gustav Foerch, Charles Moore,
John Glass and John Eisley of Union
Lodge, made gallant resistance and did
their best to keep the roughs outside the
park.
Women and children ran to and fro
over the grounds screaming in their
efforts to avoid the missiles which fell
thickly around them.
In the meantime the battle at the gate
had not been bloodless. sBilp' Noble. the
leader of the "Modocs, and Charles Weis-
man, his lieutenant, were knocked sense
less and badly injured.
Charles Moore, of Union Lodge, was
also severely hurt.
The foreman of the Rockeellar brewery,
attracted by the screaming and cursfng,
hastened to 1.-THE spot. and seeing that the
rufflans were getting the upper hand. he
drew his revolver aud fired four shots
into the crowd This frightened them,
and though none of their number was in
jured they promptly ran TO cover.
When the pleasure party saw their
assailants disappear they lost no time
in making their way to the cars.
Just az they reached them the gang re-
turned and stoned the cars until the
drivers whipped up their horses and es-
capped.
During all the trouble not policeman
was in sight, nor could one be found for
hours afterward The injured rowdies
were carried off by their companions, and
Mr.. Moore, of Union Lodge, was removed
to his residence in Union Hill.
The 'Modoc" gang has been notorious
for long time. Its members have all
served time, but as usual the police are
poWerless

JOHN KEISER'S AWFUL DEATH.
Killed by Train While on Trip to the
West.

John Keiser, of No. 1O2 Congress street,
aged thirty-two years, possessing a large
circle of acquaintances among the young
men in the vicinity of the Elevator, was
run over and killed by an express train
yesterday at Harrisburg, Pa.
Papers found in his pockets led to his
Identification, and his relatives were inn
mediately notified. The unfortunate vic
tim was member of Alpine Lodge, l. o.
o. F., and Central Assembly of the Order
of Good Fellows, both of which organiza-
tions meet in Kessler's Hall, on Central
avenue.
The Alpine Lodge of Odd Fellows i'm
me6iately sent Mr.. Ed Patterson to the
scene of the accident with instructions to
bring the body home, where it will be
buried with the honOrs of the order.
Young Keiser was a boOk-keeper and
has recently been in business with his
uncle in Newark, but becoming dissatis-
fed, he came home and left last Tuesday
for the West to accept position which
had been offered him.
He was to write as soon as he reached
the point of destination, and his mother,
four brothers and two sisters were anx-
iously awaiting news from him when the
despatch announcing his horrible death
reached them.
Another man, now unknown, was with
him at the time of the accident, and was
also killed

MIR. Taylor Denounoes Rum.

The Rev. J. B. Taylor, of the Old Foun-
dry Mission, addressed an open air meet
ing at Hamilton Park yesterday after
noon, and held the attention of quite a
large standing audience. The meetings
are growing larger each Sunday.
Mr.. Taylor's remarks were listened to
with much interest. He is a man who
works hard as a mechanic and breaches
salvation to his fellow man whenever
chance is afforded. The account of his
conversion, as told especially to that class
of young mechanics from which he
emerged as preacher of the Gospel--a
class of mechanics who work hard all the
week and then fritter away the best part
of their hardsearned wages in Saturday
nights debauch-brought forth from the
lips of many such expressions as That's
sor' "He's been therel'' ETC. Without ut
tering word against the saloonkeepers,
he denounced rum as a curse to the homes
of the laboring classes-a deadly enemy
to the wives and children of the majority
of Jersey City's poor.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July %, 1Ss9.-The
Sunday baseball playing was continued
at the shore resort yesterday. At Rocky
Point the Wanskucks and Providence
teams played full game, although it was
reported that the Sheriff had given orders
to stop the sport. The police, when com,
planned to by some wealthy residents of
Warwick Neck, said they were paid to
preserve order, not to curtail the harmless
amusement of visitors
Governor Ladd has been inquiring into
the responsibility for the numerous base
ball contests and the balloon ascension at
Oakland Beach last Sunday. He has dis
covered that the police were hired by the
shore places, and that little less than a
riot proclamation and the calling out of
the militia would suffice to check the new
order of things in Warwick and at Rocky
Point.

THE WOMAN is GUILTY.
Vice Chancellor Pitney Decides a
Divorce Case on the Spot.

Vice Chancellor Pitney did not lose
much time in reaching a decision in the
suit brought by Robert johnson, of
absolute divorce from his wife, Mary, on
the ground of unfaithfulness.
The case was before the Vice Chancellor
for the first time more than a month ago,
and the chief feature of the trial was the
presence of the three children of the
couple, who testified to their mothers re-
peated acts of impropriety.
The case was before the Vice Chancellor
again this morning, and the husband gave
further testimony The three children
were also present, and their accused
mother sat within the railing and had
frequent fits of sobbing.
When the testimony was all in, Coun-
sellor Max Rosenberg, who defended Mrs
johnson, addressed the Court and argued
that the complainant had not made out a
case against his client.
The Vice Chancellor listened attentively
but he poured ice water on Mr.. Rosen-
berg's argument when the lawyer had had
his full say.
Counsellor Gordon, who conducted the
case for the complaining husband was
about to arise and address the Court
when the Vice-Chancellor interrupted
him.
'I do not care to hear the compliments
counsel" he remarked 81 have made q
very close examination of the testimony
in the case and have come to con-
clusion."
~ have observed the children when
they gave their testimony and it is clear
to me that the defendant is guilty of the
charge made against her. Her own story
on the stand is sufficient to confirm me in
this belief.
''It was evidently invented for the pur-
pose of accounting for her compromising
position. Taking the facts all together
/ believe the woman is guilty"
He added that it was a duty johnson
owed to himself and to his children to rid
himself at once of woman who could
sink so low as his wife had.
He said that Mrs. johnson was q low
woman and unfit for the care of young
