-
John Mcdonald, formerly of Leeds,
England and recently of Newark, for
whom the detectives of the Scotland Yard
have been looking for some time, is
a prisoner in a cell in Philadelphia, hav-
ing been sent there by Detective Hag-
gerty OF Newark. Mcdonald was a di-
rector in the Amalgamated Builders and
Laborers' Union, of Great Britain and
Ireland, and When he vanished from the
city of Leeds his accounts were found to
be 81, $50 short. The story of the crime
was printed in the newspapers every
where, not SO much because of the
amount taken but because a thief had
been discovered in one of the leading
labor organizations in the Queens realm.
The Scotland Yard H~awkshaws exerted
themselves to their utmost and the
only clue they had was the fact that Nc
Donald had skipped to this country.

phia authorities who also went a~-snuffing
after the slippery Britisher, met with no
success. The British Ambassador at
Washington was particularly anxious
that Mcdonald should be apprehended
and notified the police of all the cities in
the United States. Detective Haggerty

count of the iron works located there
and after a long search he located his
man. Saturday noon as Mcdonald was
leaving his boarding house at Passaic
avenue and Bull street, Haggerty ar
rested him. His authority was a doc
ument from Henry Edmunds, United
States Commissioner for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania. The document
was a warrant, of course, and it set forth
that Alexander P. Colesberry, U. S.
Marshall for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, desired the arrest of Nc
Donald on account of an ffidav is

Counsel at Philadelphia, for her Brit

1T Was a "SmOkerss and the Fro'
Was Much Enjoyed.

Among the articles in the constitution
and bylaws of the Jersey City Lodge
No. liz, Benevolent Protective Order
of elk is one which gives the Chairman
unlimited power in imposing fines upon
the member for any breach of lodge
etiquette. If any member parts his hair
in the middle or smokes five cent cigars
he is fined a half a dollar or more. The
fines are turned over to the Social Ses-
sion Committee, and as soon as a suf-
fcient amount is accumulated a social
session is held, and the members are
privileged to invite their friends. 1t was
such an event that attracted over two
hundred people to the hall on Mont
gomery street last night. 1t was astag
affair, the committee having decided to
make it a smoker. AS each member or
guest entered the hall he was decorated
with a understanding bouquet, and be-
fore he was seated the committee saw
that he was provided with a pipe and
an ample supply of tobacco. Cigars
were tabooed and although there were
many weak stomachs in the audience,
those who wanted to smoke had to fail
back on the pipes. The programme was
an excellent one, as all b. T. Q. F..

evening was the comic songs by Brother

4 POLICE MA9ROu.
Also a Prison for Women in
the Oakland Avenue
Station House.

The State Charities Aid Society has
won a victory in the Police Board. At
a meeting held yesterday afternoon a
resolution was adopted directing the
Committee on Station Houses and Sup
plies to ascertain without delay the cost
of fitting up and maintaining a prison
for women prisoners and witnesses on
the top floor of the Third precinct sta
ton house., on Oakland venue, to be
presided over by a matron. For Two
years past the Charities Aid Society has
urged the Police Commissioners to adopt
some course which would enable women
prisoners to be kept apart from men. Pre-
vlous to this time the Commissioners
nave not been in a position, financially,
to remedy the present system of con-
fining men and women in the same
prison.
Commissioner West moved the resolu-
ton. MANY appeals have been made to
this board,' he said, ito AVE women
prisoners kept apart from men. l favor

result in raising some women who fall
into the hands of the police from the
depths of degradation. To have a wom-

would not be in keeping with this line
of reform, and l trust the board will con-
cur in my idea that a matron should be
engaged. 1t has frequently occurred
been subjected to insult in our present
city prisons. Such women should be
given protection n shielded from con-
tact with drunken and vulgar men,.
understood that the woman' prison will
be established in a very short time. The
State Charities Aid Society will now I'M
doubtedly appoint agents to visit women
with them to preserve their woman
hood and lead better lives.
Commissioner Feeney has also become
thoroughly convinced of the evil lnhu-
ences which unfortunate prisoners are
subjected to in confinement in the city
prisons, and he offered for adoption a
resolution requesting the Police Justices
to detain prisoners no longer than 4S
adopted.
The Committee on Health was direct
ed to advertise for bids for the removal
of dead animals from the streets for the
coming year. 1T
The contract for furnishing iron cots
mattresses and pillows for the sutton
houses was awarded to D.. Steele d Son.
During the past month Health Inspec-
complained of, 29S abated, and SOS notices
sent. Nine cases of diphtheria have
been reported, Is of scarlet fever, IS OF
typhoid, ! smallpox, membraneous
Group, and 2 of measles. DR.. Henry
has attended 81 cases, making 46 visits,
DR.. Brinkerhoff 4 cases and 27 visits, and
DR.. Everett "a cases n Al visits. ~
1t has been found that the appropria-
ton for fitting the City Hospital buildings
with steam heating apparatus is INSULT
cient. To meet the deficiency $3.50 is to
be transferred from the health account;
The board adjourned to meet subject
to the call of the chair.

acteristics of the party, and it is fair to
consider that the ticket is highly colored
with these qualities. If the gentlemen
mean to do what is right, why has not
one of them come out boldly against
Sewell? Why has not one of them had
a word to say on the State Water bill,
the Cheap Gas bill, the Erie Track Ele-
walton question or any one of the dozen
or more popular measures that this
years Legislature killed by dictation of
Boss Sewell, Boss Hobart and Boss
Kean? They do not define their posi-
ton on these questions because they
know they will perforce have to vote
against the people On all of them, if
they are elected.
Where are the reform measures the
last Legislature was to have passed?
aries did it reduce? What expenses did
it save the people? Its record is blank
as reSdIuS ahyehih6 AeeiS
full. The atrocious Freebooter act, the
outrageous Ward Line act, the Congress
sional gerrymander, the School District
law, which has convulsed the entire
State; the State House management act,
which has doubled the expense of that
establishment-these are some of the ac-
complishments which show what Repub-
licanism really means in the politics of
this State.
Do the people want any more of it?
