seen that Williams hand was covered with
blood, and so was handkerchief bound
round his wrist.

being the veritable fSmasher." He denied
it and then relapsed into Sullen silence.
He was taken to the StatioD-house and
searched, In his pocket were found thir-
teen pawn tickets, each of which called for
pair of trousers.

FOURTH OF JULY.
Further Arrangements for the
Celebration.

Perfect harmony and the average fire Of
enthusiasm prevailed at the meeting of the
Fourth of July Executive Committee last
night at the headquarters in the Nucleus
Building.
The question of finance seemed Of first
Importance, and it was generally admitted
ought TO be settled before moving definitely
in any other direction. To that end the
Finance Committee was authorized to solicit
subscriptions from citizens. and further was
requested to put its collectors at work i'm
mediately, so that it may be known as soon
as possible what calculations to make as to
finances.
Chairman Ruef and others urged the de-
STABILITY Of enlisting the aid Of the press in
this work. Accordingly it was decided that
all of the daily papers be added to the
Finance Committee and requested to deluge
the popuace with patriotism and enthu-
siasm from now until the Fourth.
The several subcommittee were re-
Quested te outline their Work as speedily as
convenient, so as to report at the next meet
ing of the Executive Committee, that the
question of ways and means may be then
settled.
n parade, literary exercises and regatta
and fireworks diSpt ay in three parts OF the
city will be the leading features of the cele-
bratioD. The parade is 10 be both military
and civic in character.
A motion was made that none but the
American flag be permitted in this pro-
cessiGn, but this was regarded as little toe
exclusive.
S Aiken commended that there were many
foreign organizations in the city thoroughly
patriotic aud yet who love their own flag.
While they would undoubtedly carry the
American flag in the lead they should be
allowed to fly their own also.
This was regarded as the inyariable
custom and would prevail without any
regulation, hence the question Of flags IN
the procession was tabled.
The Regatta Committee reported that
they desired n appropriation OF $500.
They had partly arranged a programme OF
races, but it was not definitely announced.
The resolution prevailed that no sub
committee be allowed to eXpend any money
without the consent and approval Of the
Executive Committee; further, that all acts
Of the various committees must be sub
United to the Executive Committee for APP
prOyal.
Adjournment was declared until next
Wednesday night
The Fireworks Committee met after the
general meeting and decided TO invite bids
from all the fireworks companies, with the
understanding that commissions and re-
bates are not to be considered.
As to the location of the three displays,
that could not be so easily disposed Of.
Finally three of the committee present
agreed to divide the city geographically
among themselves, each to select what lie
thought desirable location and report at
the next meeting. Dr. Meyer was assigned
the northern portion, Nj. VIM the southern,
and l. Graham the western.

A MANIA FOR TROUSERS.

To Get Them He Smashed the Windows
of Twenty-six Tailor Shops.
For the past month an individual who has
been christened by his victims Jack, the
Window Smasher," has been playing havoc
with the plate glass in the tailors' stores in
the Eastern District, Brooklyn. Within
that time no less than twenty-six windows
have been reported as being malieiously
broken to the police Of the Fifth and Six
teenth precincts. In each instance the
breaking took place in the early hours of
the morning, and in each case, also, one
pair of trousers was stolen from the store.
The total value of the glass destroyed is
estimated at $4,000.
Detectives Campbell and Coreoran of the
Fifth Precinct were passing along Bedford
avenue, when they found big hole in the
window of the store of j. Lyons, tailor, at
the corner of South Third street.
On examining the window the detectives
saw that the edge of the broken glass was
smeared with blood On the pavement be-
low was quite a little pool Of blood, and a
thick trail OF crimson led up South Third
street. The officers followed the blood up
South Third street to briggs. to North
Second and up North Sixth, fourteen blocks
in all At No. 267 in the last-named street
the trail led up the steps OF two-story
brick. English basement house, the door
handle OF which was stained with red.
The house in question is the property OF
MI. Charles Chevalier. Sandy Hook pilot,
a man of means and an old and respected
resident of Williamsburg. Mr.. Cheyalier
was much astonished when the detectives
rang the door-bell, aroused him from a
sound sleep and asked who had just entered
his house. He vigorously denied that any
of the members of the family had been on
the streets for several hours, as all had re-
tired early. He was astounded when told
the story of the blood stains, and more so
when Detective Campbell called his atten-
ton to fresh spots of the vital fluid in the
hallway and more spots on the stairs.
A search of the house was insisted on by
the officers, and following the tell-tale
stains the detectives came to room on the
second floor, occupied by Mr.. Cheyalier' s
only son, William, "A years of age.
Entering the room they found the young
man in bed with all his clothes on with the
