A daring highway robbery was COM
mitted at half past eleven O'Clock Satur-
day night, on Pamrapo avenue, Green
vile. Mr.. James Maher OF No. 10 Pam
rapo avenue, while on his way

rifled, and package containing his laun-
dry was taken from him. The men were
hiding behind a tree and sprang upon
Maher and ordered him to hold up his
hands. Maher did so, and the
men emptied his pockets. One of
the men, whom Maher recognized as
Michael Sullivan. also Of Pamrapo ave-
nue., told his two companions to stop and
that they were doing work which might
laud them in State Prison. The men told
Sullivan TO mind his own business and he
walked away,
His companions finished the job and
warned Maher that tf he told the police,
it would hard with him. They then ran
down Pamrapo avenue towards the New
ark Bay shore. Yesterday morning

his own recognizance. Stuart and Han
non were held without bail for trial.

LIGHT UP THAT BRIDGE.

People residing in the immediate vicinity Of
the bridge over the Morris Canal al Communi-
paw avenue are complaining of the scarcity of
light in that section. The toughs, known as the
junction gang" who congregate at the bridge
almost every night, make life miserable
for the residents. They not alone create
disturbances but insult pedestrians. Toe
darkness serves as a cover for them, and the
policemen find it difficult to break up the gang.
"A year ago there was plenty of light at night,
but now there is but one gas lamp. Formerly
four lamps burned on the bridge The lamp on
the northeast corner was knocked pown by a
heavy truck. The on the north
west corner was also knocked into smithereens
by a truck, and no attempt has besn made by
the city authorities to replace the lamps. The
scarcity of light also makes it dangerous for
drivers of vehicles to the bridge, being un-
able to see the heavy iron framework. II is a
common occurrence for drivers to smash their
wagons in crossing the bridge.
On Sunday nights the hoodlums make prae-
tice OF Insulting people who come to and from
church, and numerous complaints have been
made to the Fourth Precinct Police.

TO IMPROVE THE ROADS.
Mr.. Crimmins Says Changes Will
Be Made in the Jersey
City and Bergen.

The purchase of the Jersey City and
Bergen II. R. by the Crimmins syndicate
still continues to be the one topic of con-
versation in this city, and many inquiries
are made as TO what the new owners will
do with the various lines. what improve
ments will be made In their rolling stock,
and the general management Of the sys-
tenn. It was for the purpose of endeavor-
ing to secure an answer to some of these
question that I called on Mr.. John d.
Crimmins at his home in New York. Mr..
Crimmins lives In East Sixty-sighth
street, within view of Central Park. His
residence is brick structure, which at
first sight suggests chapel. In fact, it
might be taken for such, but for the
brown stone trimmings aud the thick
plate glass vestibule.
Mr.. Crimmins received me cordially,
and was willing to talk upon the subject
as far as his knowledge of it went. as he
expressed it. He is tall. spare man,
with large, square beard, which is al
most white. He has a pleasant manner,
which makes you feel at home
with him almost as soon as he greets you.
Mr.. Crimmins said that the acquisition
was interested was 30 recent that il had
hardly had time to formulate any
definite plans for their operation.
Would there be Improvement OF
course there would be improvements and
improvements, too, of radical and
sweeping character. The value OF the
roads and the price paid for them was so
great that vast improvements would be
made to place them On better paying
basis, but what their nature would be,
Mr.. Crimmins said he could not tell.
AS to any change in the present man
agemen tof the road, Mr.. Crimmins said
he could not tell whether Mr.. Thurston
would remain at the head of the system
or not.

The English Foresters
Trying to Break Up
the American Sc
cesSion.

Foresters in this city, and throughout
the country for that matter, are much ex
ercised over a circular which has been
sent broadcast by the Ancient Order OF
Foresters to the members Of the Ancient
Order of Foresters Of America.
Just at present there are slight
dissensions in the ranks Of the American
order. The Supreme Court has imposed an
annual tax of eight cents on each Forester
as THE NEWS has fully related, and, there
has been a great deal OF grumbling, and
some courts have refused to pay the as
sessment The old order hearing Of the
dissension thought it was good time to
induce the old courts to go back into ths
fold. and with this object in view has
sent ont the circular. which. In its mate
rial parts, is as follows:-
large number of Courts have made applca,,,
tion for nstaternent and are now in full
afflistion with the Subsidiary High Court. AT
its session last August the High Court unani-
mously delegated 10 all Subsidiary High Courts
the power to restore Courts suspended by it to
full membership. We have been unable to
promise absolute reinstatement heretofore as
that power lay with the High Court which i'm
posed the penalty, but we now have absolute
power in this as in all other matters and are pre-
pared to exercise it with a wise discretion.
The circular then goes on to state the
many superior advantages OF the old
court and says that it cannot be used for
political purposes, nor does 1T harbor
''convicts or ex-convicts." 1t goes on:-
The first step towards reinstatement is In the
adoption by a Court of the following resolu-
tions:-.
'sResolyed, That the word white in regard
to the eligibility of candidates. be stricken from
the constitution and bylaws OF this court
.Resolyed, That this court apply to the
Executive Council of the Subsidiary High Court
for the Atlantic, Central and Southern States
for reinstatement to all the rights and privileges
of court of the Ancient Order of Foresters
and for the removal of the suspension imposed
upon it by the High Court Of the World in
August, 1885,"
In regard to the color question, the Cir
cuiar states that it rests with the court
whether colored man shall be admitted
to membership.
''The circular will not take one court
from our ranks" said prominent MEM
her of the American order this morning.
"Thecircular has been sent to courts where
Englishmen predominate. The circular
is the laughing stock of all the Ameri-
can courts. The English courts will
never amount to anything in this coun-
Try again. They take advantage of every
little trouble In our ranks and attempt to
magnify it. The mem bers Of our Order
are satisfied and can never be induced to
leave our Order by such u f1msy thing as
that circular is"
