race their percentage dropped from
500 10 SIS. The Brooklyns kept them
selves even by winning two games out

CARELESS BANKERS.
Newarkers Preyed Upon By a
Gang of Foreign Check
Swindlers.

A gang of not over clever swindlers
appear to be reapipg rich harvest
among the unsophisticated bankers of
Newark. Yesterday the First National
Bank of this city received from the Ger
mania National Bank of Newark a check
for SIS. 1t was drawn upon the First
National and was signed by N. +. Den
slow. 1t had a stamp of certificate
which was signed by a name
which could be taken for anything else
except John Omberson, the cashier of the
First National, who signed it.
The check was evidently printed In
some continental city. The paper. type,
style of check borders and general ap-
pearance are all foreign. The check
reads First National Bank" and
the place Jersey City in the
date line appears to have been stamped
in instead of printed. From this it looks
as il the swindlers had the checks pre-
pared and stamp In the city or town in
which they wish to operate. The stamp
of certifcation is in two colors. something
seldom seen In this country, and alto.
gether the first glance at the check is
sufficient to arouse ones suspicious.
This morning the First National Bank
received another check for the same
amount, identical in all respects with the
one mentioned. 1t came from the Essex
County National Bank of Newark through
the Second National Bank Of this city.

LIVELY BEVERLY BROWN
Gives DR.. Irving an Object
Lesson in Their
mOmeteTS.
BETTER HAVE REMAINED DEAD.
At Least That is What City Hos
pital Officials Think-Will
Go to an Asylum.

Beverly Brown. the colored individual
who was removed to Speer's morgue. ap-
parently dead, and who caused such con-
sternation by suddenly showing signs Oh
life, demonstrated last evening in the
City Hospital that he is still alive and
able to whip two or three men. Dr.
Irving, assistant house surgeon. desired
to get the mans temperature and SO in
formed him.
"That don't co." said Brown. You can't
touch nae aud want you to keep away
from me-"
DIR. Irving demonstrated with the man
and approached him, Thermometer in
hand. Brown rushed across the ward.
throwing his arms wildly about his
head.
DR.. Irving was determined to get
Browns temperature, and again ap-
preached him. Brown assumed pugn-
istic attitude, and when DIR. Irving got
within three feet of him, pounced upon
him and q very lively wrestling match
ensued. Before Warden Osborne could
get to the Doctors assistance, Brown had
smashed the Thermometer in q thous1nc
pieces and hurled DIR. Irving from him as
If he were child. Then Brown rushed
to the further end of the ward aud set up
dismal moaning and groantng, az the
same time gesticulating wildly.
The patients in the ward became
alarmed and many of them attempted 90
get from their cots, but their fears were
allayed by Ward en- Osborne. Dr. Irving
concluded that he didn't care much about
Browns temperature, anyway. and lef5
the ward. He returned in a short time,
however, when Brown walked over to
his cot and sat down upon 1t. Noticing
that Warden Osborne was Watching him
he jumped to his feet again and hurried
the remnants of the thermometer which
he had taken from DIR. Irving across tbs
ward. Then he showed his hands deep
into his pockets and began walking up
and down muttering to himself
Warden Osborne feels positive that the
man is crazy, and he intends applying 20
the proper authorities to have him re-
moved to some institution where he can
be properly cared for. He thinks it un-
safe to allow Brown to remain longer ar
the Hospital. Brown has not spoken q
word since his fracas with DR.. Irving.
Yesterday he refused food and drink, bnt
last night and today he has eaten enough
for three or four men.
There are more than f1fty patients in
the ward where Brown is. Many OF them
are suffering from injuries and diseases
which necessitate the utmost quiet to
insure recovery. Browns actions have
so excited many of the weaker patients
| that serious results may follow.
| This afternoon Warden Osborne re-
moved Brown to Police Headquarters but
I Superintendent Smith refused to take
| charge of the man, and he was taken
| back to the hospital.

JERSEYS BIG BRIDGE.
Property and Franchises Of the
Two Companies Consolidated.

The New York and New Jersey Bridge
Company OF New York and the New
York and New Jersey Bridge Company
of New Jersey met at No. 214 Broadway
yesterday and consolidated their prop
erty, corporate powers and franchises.
The companies agreed with each other,
in order to raise the money necessary, to
issue their stocks and bonds for value
substantially as follows;-The total stock
Issue of the two corporations to De
sl5, 1000 at par, and to issue coupon
bonds secured by first mortgage
covering all the property, fran,
chises. rights and privileges. The total
amount of bonds to be Issued by
the two corporations is $60,000,000. They
are to be fifty-vear bonds, with provision
for redemption after twenty years from
date, at the option Of the bridge compan-
les, on call, and payment of principal and
interest due, together with ten per cent.
premium on the principal. the bonds to
bear interest at the rate OF five per cent.
per annum, payable semi-annuaily IN
gold in New York and London. The
bonds also provide that each company
shall be liable for the payment OF the
principal and interest due on the bonds
and coupons. The proceeds of the bonds
are to be used only for the requirement.
of property necessary for the building
and maintenance of the bridge.
The plan provides for the creation of
sinking fund for the red emption of the
bonds after twenty years, and also pro-
vides for a Board of Managers tu be Sc
lected out of the directors of the two
companies. Secretary swan said:
''1he plan for the bridge approaches
and stations will be next considered. The
whole structure will be such as will en-
able all the railroads having their ter
minal at Jersey City and Hoboken to land
their passengers within the heart of the
city of New York without change OF cars.
Freight can proceed upon unbroken
wheel transit to any part OF the country,
and il the postal authorities contemplate
having AN office at the central part of the
city, ] do not see why the building should
not be such as will allow the mail cars to
be shunted loaded and unloaded under
