ASSISTANT TREASURER JORDAN.

New YORK, Dec. 96, 1S93.-Conrad N.
Jordan, the Assistant Treasurer of the
United States, arrived on the steamer La
Bretagne from Havre last night.
Mr.. Jordan said this morning that he had
had a pleasant business trip to the other side.
He did not care to state what the business
was which occasioned his trip.
Mr.. Jordan is in good health and looks
well. All the passengers on the La Bre-
tagne had a pretty rough time on the voy-
age. Gales from the west and northwest
piled up such a heavy sea that the staunch
liner was at times almost on end. At one
time the cap of the steam register blew off,
and for six hours the ship was obliged to lay
to in the trough of the high sea until repairs
could be made.

STRUCK BY A TROLLEY POLE.

Mrs. Mary Halligan, twenty-five years
old, of 1858 Grand street, was waiting for an
electric car at Jersey avenue and Grand
street about ten o'clock Sunday night, when
something struck her a severe blow
on the head and knocked her
down. The next moment the
lights in the car were extinguished and the
car stopped. Everybody who saw the occur
renee thought the woman was killed until
she picked herself up and looked around in a
dazed sort of way, wondering what had
happened.
1t was discovered that the trolley pole had
broken off, and, in falling, had struck her on
the head, causing a severe scalp wound.
Mrs. Halligan says she will make the Con
sohdated Traction Company pay for spelling
her hat.
