BEER BoTTLERs FINED.
Justice Puster Will Appeal to the
HIGHER Courts.

Justice Puster Will Appeal TO the
Higher Courts.
The beer bottlers who were arrested by the
police during the past week for violating a
city ordinance which compels them to secure
a license to bottle, sell or deliver beer with
out a license were called for trial before
Justice O'Donnell this morning. The prison
ers were defended by Justice Puster, while
City Attorney Erwin looked after the City's
interests. The hearing this morning was
merely a preliminary procedure to get the
cases into the higher courts. Only three
cases were called by agreement, being Henry
Newman of this city, Neil Campbell, of New
York and Charles Goeckle of West Hobo
zen.
Justice Puster asked for the dismissal of
the charge on the ground that in June, 1890,
a decision of the Supreme Court in similar
cases released the bottiers from paying the
usual license fee of $3.50. City Attorney
Erwin cited the fact that the
ordinance under which the bottlers had
been arrested was passed by the Aldermen
in October, 1890. The ordinance, he argued,
was passed after the decision of the Supreme
Court, and was SO constructed as to now
allow the bottlers to do business without a
$3.50 license. Justice O'Donnell, in deciding
the case, said that he was aware the matter
would be carried into the higher courts, and,
accordingly, under the provisions of the or
dinance dealing with the sale or delivery of
beer, fined the prisoners arraigned $50 each.
Justice Puster gave notice at once that he
would file an appeal.

Not the Success Anticipated by the
Promoters.
The show of the aggregation of six Hobo
ken reporters who call themselves the Hobo
ken Press Club, at Ross Hoboken Theatre
last night, was a dismal failure.
1t is said that sufficient tickets were forced
upon certain persons to make the
affair financially a success, but
the audience that gathered in the auditorium
of the theatre last night was disguised. The
house was not filed, save in the lower floor,
in which there were three-fourths of the seats
taken. The gallery was nigh deserted. The
programme consisted of sixteen numbers,
and the performance lasted four hours,
exactly.
Half the audience went out before the
affair was three fourths finished. The
Knickerbocker Minstrels commenced the
entertainment. Several soloists contributed
to the programme. Marshall P. Wilder, the
famous humorist, gave a poor performance.
The Hoboken Turn Verein classes were re
ceived a bit more ~graciously that the
others.

He Was the Terror of Dissolute
women i'm HobOken.
Detective James DAWN, one of the best de-
~tectives of the Hoboken Police Department,
died yesterday afternoon at his home. Fifth
and Clinton streets. He had been i'll of
pneumonia but a week, and his death was
unexpected. His wife and his two children
were at his bedside when he breathed
his last. The children are a boy two years
of age and a girl four years of age. Detec-
tive DAWN was forty years of age, and was
the embodiment of health. He had a strong
constitution and was in the vigor of life.
While on duty he caught cold in his chest,
which became aggravated, causing his de-
1lise.
James DAWN was appointed on the force
as a patrolman in 1882. He was appointed
under Chief Donovan by the Police Board.
Last spring he was selected by the board as a
detective, with James Kerrigan. He was, as
one of his comrades remarked this morning,
"a man who attended to his own affairs and
let other peoples alone" He was always
iovial and had a pleasant word for everyone.

the tracks of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
until the Street and Water Board took the
matter in hand and gave him authority to

as long as the city officials don't interest
themselves in the matter we won't worry
about it,"
The residents in that section, however,
will visit the Street and Water Board on

THE LIFE SAVING CORPS.
Bill to Extend the Term of the Mem
bers Introduced.

Bill TO ExIen0 the 1eFnl Oh inc uAcAIAe
bers Introduced.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 1S94.-A favorable
report was ordered to be made from the
House Commerce Committee this morning of
the bill to extend the term of service of the
members of the life saving corps on
the Atlantic coast. The present term
extends from September to May. The pur-
pose of the bill, which was introduced by
Mr.. C~oggswell (Rep., Massl, is to ave the
service cover the period from August to
June, ten months, instead of eight. A letter
written by Mr.. Kimball, the Superintendent
of the Life Saving Service, states that
storms of great severity are of annual recur-
renee on the Atlantic coast during May and
August, and that it is desirable not to re-
duce the force during these months. 1t was
this argument mainly that influenced the
committee to extend the period of service.
The committee called up for a few minutes
the resolution to send a commission of repre-
sentatives and Senators to Nicaragua to
study the proposed route of the canal, but it
was laid over without discussion until next
Wednesday,

BLOOMFIELD, Jan. 5, 1S94-Two months
ago a young man commenced attending tn
services of Christ Episcopal Church. He
possessed a fine tenor voice and was asked
to join the vested choir. He said his name
was William Mason and that he had sung in
the cathedral choirs in England. Soon after
the women of the church suggested
giving an operetta to raise funds for
the new church building. The man
ayers felt assured of success when
Mr.. Mason consented to take the leading
tenor part. Rehearsals Immediately com
menced, and in about a week Mr.. Mason was
well up in his part. AT one of the meetings
of all the cast the young women were seen
whispering and Mr.. Mason was treated
coolly. 1t leaked out that instead of being
a real estate man he was simply Henry Al
lens coachman. The young woman refused
to have anything more to do with the
operetta.
Mr.. Mason's employer said the young man
was of good character and, came OF a good
family in England and, becoming reduced in
circumstances, had come to this country.
Mr.. Mason was well educated and had been
in good society, but unable to obtain any
other employment, he had accepted the place
of coachman to obtain an honest livelihood.

INSANE MAN WITH MUCH MONEY.
Found Wandering About tIae street,
of Buffalo,.

VI
BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 5, 1S94.--A man
wandering about the streets in a dazed con-
dition with 5000 on his person was arrested
by the police early this morning.
The man was apparently about fifty years
old, spare frame and dressed plainly, with
a cloth cap and a collar without a necktie.
When questioned he could give no intel
ligible replies and the officers took him to
police headquarters.
On searching him the officers found 1922 in
bills and coin in his pockets.
Tied around his waist was a cloth bag a
foot in length, inside of which was $500 in
ten and twenty dollar gold pieces.
These were wrapped separately in pieces in
tissue paper, and each piece sewn in the bag,
round and round, each piece lying close to-
gether, packed like sardines.
He also had a gold watch and chain and
papers in his pocketbook, with the name of
re. P. Coates, Elmira, N. "" on them.
This is said to be the name of the agent of the
Western New York and Pennsylvania Rail
road at this point. One letter was addressed
to ''Mr. Dabney, agent of Western New
York & Pennsylvania Railroad, Superinten-
dent of the Road" asking for a leave of alb
sence for a few days.
The hospital surgeon pronounced the
stranger mentally unsound, and he is re-
tanned in custody pending communication
with the Elmira authorities.

On Wednesday afternoon County Clerk
Mclaughlin, Congressman Fielder, Joseph
Edwards and some other gentlemen were in
the office of the Board of Freeholders chat
ting about current affairs. E. T. McLa ugh
lin saw these gentlemen enjoying themselves
and entered the Office to disturb the har-
mony. As soon as he got inside he began in
his vulgar and loud mouthed manner to as
sail the County Clerks public actions, and
then he transferred his abuse to Congressman
Fielder. Both of the officials simply laughed
at Mclaughlin and appeared to enjoy his
peculiar antics.
This did not by any means appease Me-
L~aughlin, but only encouraged HIN to nurse
his wrath until it became red hot. just at
this time Mclaughlin looked out of the win

howled.
Young Joe Edwards noticed that E. I.
Mclaughlin referred to his approaching
brother, and jumping from his chair he
confronted Mclaughlin, exclaiming:-
II am w. D.. Edwards brother, and l
will not let you or any other rufflan use

The vile mouthed Mclaughlin looked sur
prised at the STRIPPING who faced his burly
form, and while he hesitated for inspiration
for another vulgar TRADE, Congressman
Fielder i~nterposed by saying.
sMcLaughlin, l would not blame the boy
if he did thrash you. 1 would not sit by and
allow anyone to talk like that about a
brother Of mine.n
Mclaughlin turned to the Congressman,
and, with an oath, called Mr.. Fielder a vile
name. The Congressman had been sitting
behind the railing, and Bully Mclaughlin
was standing in front of it. The words We're
no sooner out of the ruffian's mouth than the
Congressman bounded over the railing. His
face was white with indignation, and his
fist was clinched. Assistant Clerk Noonan,
quick as a flash, jumped between the two
men and ordered Mclaughlin out of the
office.
''This is a public office, and I'll stay here
as long as want"
sri be damned if you do" exclaimed the
plucky little clerk, and he reached for the
collar of the burly ~ruffian's coat. Now |
want you to get out of here at once, and il
you don't go I'll throw you out"
"But this is a public Office
"Are you going to get out?" Missed Noonan
vainly ~endeavoring to suppress his passion
and keep down his fist.

at the young man, and after an instants
hesitation, snarled OUT
