ing John Kelly.
Doorman Charles O'Neill, of the Fourth
precinct, had lively experience last
night while endeavoring to arrest John
Kelly, one of the most notorious toughs
who frequent "Glass House, Hill, on a
warrant issued at the instance of his
mother.
Four months ago Kelly beat his mother
in an inhuman manner and then made
his escape. A warrant was issued for his
arrest, but Kelly avoided arrest by stay
ing outside of the city He returned TO
his old hRunts last night and was arrested
by O'Neill
AS the officer was taking Kelly to the
station house James Foran, of No. 90
Fairmount avenue. and several toughs
set upon him ana attempted to rescue
the prisoner. O'Neill scared them by
threatening to shoot them. Kelly was
committed to the County Farm for ninety
DAYS as a disorderly person. The Grand
Jury will probably indict him for assault
and battery.
James Foran was arrested this morning
and committed to await the action of the
Grand jury on a charge of interfering
with an officer. Detective Hottie is look
ing for the other members Of the gang
who assaulted O'Neill.

PLANS FOR THE SUBWAY.
This Western Union Company Re-
CARDS 1t as an Experiment.

The subway which the Western Union
Telegraph Company has asked permis-
sion OF the Board OF Street and Water
Commissioners to liy in this city will be
small one. and more in the way of ex-
pertinent. Ii will be a short one extend
ing from the cable house at the foot Of
York Street, through that street to WASH
ington street to the elevated structure OF
the Pennsylvanis railroad. Thence the
cable, for which the subway is intended,
will be strung along under the elevated
structure to the Point Of Rocks. In this
manner the company expects to have one
through cable from New York TO the
Point of Rocks protected from the raw
ages Of the storms of rain and sleet which
played such havoc with the wires last
winter.
The Board Of Street and Water Com
missioners delayed action again yester-
day on the subway and requested the
representative Of the company TO prepare
map for their inspection showing just
where 1t proposed to put down the con-
duits and how many poles they will take
down. IL Is more than probable that the
company will follow this subway up, IL
they obtain permission to lay It, with
Others. The great loss which the COM
pany sustained last winter when the
wires were blown down and twisted into
a seemingly inexplicable mass has con-
vinced the Western Union people that
they must devise some means Of protect
ing their service from similar occurrences.
The subways. however, have not yet
been found to be exactly what Is needed.
Nothing has been devised which is per :
fectly impervfous to water and gas. These
elements find their way into all the con-
duits which have yet been buried. and in
a short time act upon the cables and de-
placed by others Still the expense of
keeping the cables in the subways in re-
pairs is not much greater than that re-
quired to keep the overhead wires in per-
feet working order

to wrestIe with. but their energy seems
equal to the task
The order of the speeches to be made al
the reception concert was decided upon
as follows:-First. President Lentz; sec
ond, Governor Albeit; third, Mayor
HAYNES. Mr.. Oelkers explained that
Mayor Haynes would like TO be the sec
ond speaker, because it is his duty, he
claims, to welcome the visiting singers in
the name Of the city, while the welcome
in the name 0: the state should be sec
ondary consideration. The President
said that no alteration could be made, as
it was customary TO follow the prece-
dents of other SRngerfests.
The Decoration Committee reported
that Mayor Haynes has refused TO issue a
call to the citizens Of Newark TO decorate
their houses. His reasons were given to
be the unwillingness TO establish prece-
dent which could be taken advantage of
by other societies. MessrS. Oslkers, Sip
pei and Herboth were appointed to con-
fer with the Mayor again. President
Lentz said that the Common Council had
already passed resolution to that effect.

TO $50. In 1889 the number Of licenses
issued was 699, an increase of but i've
