JACK wILDEY DEAD.
He Was with Ellsworth at Alexandria,
Well Known Figure Here and in New

He Was with at Alexandria,
Well Known Figure Here and in New
York.
The figures and names of two Jersey
men have been familiar for years in New
York. One of these is old Captain John
Rynders. The other was ex-Coroner
Jack Wildey, They were both war horses
of the Democracy, and both rose to promi-
nence through their connection with the
old Volunteer Fire Department.
Captain John Reynders is still as rudy
and healthy as ever. Ex-Coroner Jack
Wildey was laid to rest yesterday. Once
worth half a million, he died in poverty at
Bellevue Hospital, as complete a mental
and physical as he was a financial wreck.
In 1916 he joined the old Volunteer Fire
Department, and for many years was fore
man of Engine Company No. II. AS
captain of Company l, Eleventh New
York Fire Zouaves, under Colonel Ellis
worth, he went to the front during the
civil war, and no drawer soldier stood in
shoe leather than he. He captured several
mounted to the top of Jackson's Hotel, at
Alexandria, and tore down the rebel flag
a feat which cost Ellsworth his life. He is
also credited with saving the colors of the
.SiXty-ninth Regiment at the first battle of
Bull Run. Through the prominence given
him by the event he secured the Tammany
Hall nomination for the then lucrative
this source, a concert hall on Broadway
and as ticket agent for the Grand Opera
House, ETC., he obtained the wealth which
melted away just as quickly as he got it.
He and Boss Tweed and others organ
lied the original Mutual Base Ball Club,
of which Captain Jack wa smanager. This
club and the AtlanticS, of Brooklyn, were
the first professional clubs.
He afterward removed to Bayonne, and
for seventeen years he resided on his own
property, West Twenty-fourth street and
Newark Bay.
A little over a year ago a mortgage on
his property was foreclosed, and Captain
Jack, with his wife and daughter, moved
to New York. In 1883, hewaS made Street
Commissioner in Bayonne, a position he
ably filed for three terms, when, in 1885,
with great spirit and zeal, he got up a
firemen's parade on a grand scale. 1t did
not turn out as he had anticipated, and
Captain Jack went out of his mind.
He was conhned for about a year in
Amityville Asylum at the expense of his
comrades of Noah L. Farnham Post, GA.
Il. He was also a member of the Masonic
order. but was never affiliated. When
Captain lack came to this city he was re-
ported to be worth $l00, 600, which, though
not q drinker, he managed to dispose of
by loans TO his numerous friends.
The old mans tai, lank form was
in a coal of the old Volunteer Fire De
partment he would shamble through the
corridors of the City Hall and chat about
bygone times with his old cronies.
He had Indian blood in him, a fact of
which he was always proud to speak.

The st. Louis Browns went to Oakland
Park yesterday afternoon and beat the
Gladiators In a rather loose played game
of baseball. The only things really
worthy Of note were the double play in
the first inning by Miligan and Comls-
= key, and Comiskey's pitching, he taking
Browns place in the fourth inning and
playing through the rest of the game.
The rules were repeatedly violated, but
it was an exhibition game and nobody
cared. 1t was the most amusing exhibit
ton ever seen in Jersey City, and one Of
the most exciting. The home club led
until the third, when st. Lonis forged
ahead about a length. but the boys bent
their backs in a gallant squirt and closed
the gap in the fourth. Afterthis they w
bow and bow until the sixth, when, after
being passed by Jersey City, the Browns
made a noble effort and it put them two
lengths ahead. This lead was steadily in
creased to the finish, where it was just

A small boy had been having a day
of unmitigated outrageousness, such
as all children who do not die young
are likely to have at times, and when
he was ready for bed his mother said
to him:- EN E8&ff@ 18B5
when you say your prayers, Geor-

The youngster accordingly put up
his petitions in the usual form, and
then, before closing with Amen, he
added
And please, God, make me a good
boy"
He paused a second, and then, to
the utter CONSERVATION of his mother,
concluded with undated gravity
