CHASING STEERS.
Hoboken Has Fun with
Five Gentlemen From
Texas.

Five Texan steers escaped from th G
Weehawken stock yards at half-past ten
O'Clock last night, and for the rest of the
night the residents of the upper portion
of Hoboken had little or no rest. Five of
Hoboken's finest police and about hum
dred volunteer cowboys were on the
track of the escaped beasts and one OF
the steers was killed after a deal of trou-
bic; Two were taken back to the stock
yards, and the other two roamed the
streets of Hoboken until morning when
they were also captured.
A drove Of steer were being taken from
one pen TO another in the yard when @
vicious looking animal broke away from
the herd and ran out on the Boulevard.
-Four others followed. The animals. with
tossing heads. started down the Boulevard
toward Hoboken. 1t front of the Wee
hawken police station a policeman at
tempted to turn the animals back. He
was promptly knocked down and tram
pied upon, and the steers proceeded on
their pleasure trip. the policeman was not
badly hurt and joined in the chase
The herd cantered along quietly enough
until Fourteenth street and Willow
avenue was reached, when the leader of
the herd espied one horse car near the
corner of Washington street. The beast
at once made a rush for it. Policeman
Murray, who was on the corner fired a
breast. This drew the steers attention
to Murray who was kept busy lodging
behind grocer's wagon until Texy got
tired and with roar started off for the
Elysian Fields.
In the meanwhile word was sent to the
police station, and Policemen Delters,
Nelson, Whalen and Harrison were soon
on the scene. The steers took refuge in
the FIELDS, and the police with drawn re-
volyers started after them. 1t was very
risky work in the dark. Suddenly from
behind a tree the leader of the herd
dashed out upon the crowd. Everybody
lodged but Policeman Whalen. He
fell fiat on his face and the steer
jumped clean over him, and the only
harm done was to dirty his uniform.
The steer made for the lumber yard at
the corner of Washington and Twelfth
streets. where he was cornered AM shot
to death. Two others were caught
further up in the fields by the cattle driv.
ers, and the other two were caught this
morning

WHY MARY WAS WHIPPED,
Mr.. Egan Says She Was a Very Bad
Child and Stole Pennies.

To learn what Mrs. Mary Egan had to
say about the alleged beating she is said
to have given Phoebe Taylor, the eight
year-old pauper that she had indentiured
to her by the Board of Freeholders, I
called at her house. No. 70 Water street,
this morning. The house sets back from
the street and has barn in front of it,
which is used in the milk business con.
Quoted by Mrs. Egan and her husband.
Mrs. Egan was not home, the red
whiskered husband told me, and he asked
me what my errand was about. When

citedly declared that she did not beat the
girl. but added that she may have
whipped her little on Wednesday; that

DID SHE KILL HER CHILD?
The Horrible Story of Greenville Serv-
ant Girls Downfall.

ant Girls Downfall.
Louise Miller, twenty years of age, a
German domestic in the employ of
Charles Feldcher, of No. 929 Garfield ave-
nue., was arrested on Wednesday after
noon by Detective Egan, of the Danforth
avenue station, on a charge of concealing
the birth of a child, and is now locked up
in the County Jail with perhaps q more
serious charge hanging over her. Last
Monday morning Frank Ritcher, sur
veyor in the employ of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad had occasion to go
through clump of woods on Garfield
avenue, known as the Vreelaud's Woods.
There is small ditch running through
the woods and as Mr.. Ritcher passed the
raceway, he saw an object in the water
that excited his curiosity. Out of curios-
ity the surveyor took q closer look, and
was horrified TO find the object was the
born. He met another railroad
man named John Stemble, and the
latter notified the Greenville police, and
Policeman Mackey was sent to guard the
body until the morgue wagon could be
summoned
The body was taken to the morgue and
County Physician Converse WAS notified
The police made an investigation which
brought them in a short time to Field
cher's kitchen. A thorough search was
then made and evidence was found to
show that the child must have been born
on the premises.
The unnatural mother must have picked
the child up, walked about forty feet
across the road to a board fence lined by
elderberry bushes, and then thrown the
little one through the bushes into the
ditch ten feet below.
Detective Egan was satisfied that sus-
picion rested on some one in the house.
and he arrested the servant girl on We'd
nesday evening. She was accused of be-
ing the mother of the child, but denied it
most emphatically. She was then taken
to the station house and locked up Mr.
and Mrs. Feldcher were then questioned.
They said they procured Louise from
Castle Garden three months ago and she
had always been quiet, hard working
girl. They said they never noticed any
change in the girls condition, and she
had always done her work regularly.
They secuted the idea that she was the
mother.
A little child of the Feldcher's, who
slept with the girl, said that on Monday
morning about one O'clock Louise com
planned of feeling unwell, and going down
stairs in the yard did not return for a
couple of hours, and then she seemed to
be in distress.
The girl cannot speak word of Eng
lish and an interpreter had to be pro-
cured. She is not intelligent and does
not realize her position.
DR.. Converse performed an autopsy on
the child in the morgue yesterday morn
ing. He found the child in O healthy con-
dition. 1t must have been born alive
but whether it was killed at it's birtn OIL
died from exposure cannot be definitely
proven as yet.

SLOW WORK ON THE PIER.
The Adams Express Company Reapina
the Reward of Its Heartlessness.

The Adams Express Company Reaping
the Reward of It's Heartlessness.
The aspect of affairs between the
Adams Express Company and It's dissatis-
fled employees has changed but little since
yesterday.
1t can hardly be said that work is pro
crossing as usual at the pier. There is
not today that appearance of activity and
hustle which is usually observable. The
fact that the transfer of freight from the
cars in the sheds was delayed several
hours this morning, shows that the COM
pany is working at disadvantage with
its new hands.
The old hands are working in a half
hearted fashion; yet the officials in
charge will tell you that the men are per-
fectly satisfied. Last night the company
opened it's generous heart and allowed
each of the men held to do overwork an
hour off and fifty cents tor supper
Few of the helpers who lstt have been
seen about the piers since visiting the
main Office Last night one of them by
the name of Post visited the pier aud while
engaged in conversation with one OF the
drivers was ordered off the premises by
a night clerk Post Immediately bounced
upon the clerk and began to pummel him.
A crowd gathered and Post was pulled
away. Detective Morris was Immediately
sent for, but Post skipped up the yard
| and was soon lost in the labrinth of stand
| ing and moving freight trains.
It is reported that two of the clerks
resigned this morning. Yesterday after
noon heard that way bill clerk by the
name of Phelps, after working all the
day before at reduced salary and being
compelled 10 work overtime until near
midnight, dug his pen deep into his desk
top, grabbed his coat and left with the
remark, "D-d If I'll stand it any
longer"

Resolutions of Respect and Sympathy
Adopted by the Freeholders.
Owing to the death of Freeholder Peter
Donnelly yesterday the Board held very
brief meeting, and adjourned to next
Monday afternoon to transact the i'm
portant business that was to have been
attented to yesterday. AS soon as Direc-
tor-at-Large Brnggemann called the
members to order the following resolu-
tions were offered by Freeholder Tierney
and unanimously adopted

as individual members thereof, while meekly
bowing our heads in submission to the will Of

his care.

Phngsten, in seconding them, eulogized
the deceased member in brief but ap-
propriate address. Among other things
the Freeholder said:-"The gentleman, /,
who few hours ago departed this life,
was sent to this Board last fall to repre-
sent an Intelligent and wealthy constitu-
ency. He entered on his duties with a
laudable zeal to prove to his constituents
the wisdom of reposing their confidence
in him, and that their confidence was not
misplaced. AS our colleague he was ever
ready to do favor or kindness, but he
always first considered the interests of
the people, and if he found favor to be
inconsistant with his sense of duty he
would not hesitate to refuse it,
and when his line Of duty was
by him determined, there was
no wavering. Out of the ten members

death has taken from us two. 1t is the
first year in the history of the county,

1t seems that there is something hanging
over this Board that closely approaches

Boards and it is the third time that ]
have been member, but it is the only
Board during my three terms that has
been visited by death. l cannot tell
why this should be. but it seems to be

The Board then adopted the resolutions
and decided to attend the funeral Satur-
day in body and adjourned.

FIGHTING ITALIANS.

Pickaxes and Razors Used by Two
Brothers on Countryman.
At the foot of Bleecker street, where
the tracks of the Northern Railroad run,
a gang of fifteen Italians were at work on
the road bed yesterday afternoon. Pas
quell Lucia and Jacio Macio claimed the
same pick, and Lucia put his fist under
Jacio's nose and said he would fight him.
At this Jacio seized the pick, which was
lying near, and dug the point of it into
the top of Lucias' head, telling him to the
ground. Congetta Gentil, cousin of
Lucia, started off toward Bleecker
street, crying that he was going for
policeman. Franceso Macio, a brother
of Jacio, and Jacio himself, ran after
Gentil and overlook him on Bleecker
street hill. One of the brothers cut him
in the back with a razor, making q long,
deep, clean cut, while the other brother
struck him on the forehead with pick.
Gentil fell to the ground while the rest
of the gang crowded around. The police
do not know which of the Macio brothers
used the pick or razor.
Policeman John P. Finan was walking
down South street just about this time,
when boy accosted him and told him a
lot of Italians were numbering each
other at the foot of Blocker street.
Finan ran down to the scene of the affray
and saw Gentil lying on the ground with a
crowd of gesticulating Italians around
him. The two Macios were pointed out
as the assailants of Gentil and Finan
brought them to the Webster avenue sta
tion
Some of the bystanders aided Gentil to
reach the station house. The city amb u
lance was telephoned for, and after cali
ing for Lucia at the railroad yard re-
Jarned to the police station and took
Gentil also to the hospital
Captain McNulty and Detective Nc
Nally went to the battle ground and after
Investigating and questioning the people
living near, placed ten Italians under ar
rest as witnesses and brought back to the
station house four picks, each of which
was more or less bloody.
When the Macio brothers were searched
IN empty razor case which was open was
found on Francesca. and an ugly looking
clasp knife, with a curved blade like a
pruning knife.
the gang were examined in the Second
District Police Court this morning and
all their stories differed in some particu-
lars.
Franceso said to Justice Wanser that he
was in the fight, but whatever he did was
in defence of his brother.
Jacio also claimed to have acted in self
defence.
The two Macios were remanded for
further examination until Monday next.
At the hospital this morning it was said
that the wounded men were in no imme-
diate danger.
The gang comes from No. 65 James
street, New York.
