Clever Sneak Thief Rooney Is Dis
gusted with williamsburg.

John J. Rooney. who says he lives in
New York, was held for trial in the
Even Street Court Williamsburg, to-
day on a charge of grand larceny.
George +. Friedman, of IS Marcy ave-
rue, was sitting in his parlor, yester-
day afternoon, while his coat and vest
were hanging over the back of a chair.
He says that Rooney put the hooked
handle of his cane through the open
window. deftly lifted out the coat and
vest, and started on a run down the
avenue. There was a gold watch and
A7 in cash in the vest
Friedman jumped through the window
and started after the. thief, his cries
bringing others to his assistance
Rooney was heading straight for the
Stagg street police station, and 1t was
an easy matter for Policeman Kigler,
who was standing in the doorway. to
arrest him.
When Rooney found that he had made
almost a bee line for the nearest police
station, he swore and said he would
never come to Williamsburg again.

marked. but when a bloke steers
straight for the coop, why he's sure to

FURGUESON ON THE STAND.
The Scar OF New Utrecht" Tells
About His Gas Plant.

Cornelius Furgeson, known as the Gear
OF New Utrecht, took the stand in the
Supreme Court, Brooklyn, before Judge
Smith. to-day. 1t was in the suit brought
by Walter Parfitt, taxpayer. for the
annulment of a contract between the
town and the Kings County Gas Gem
pany.
The company was made defendants
together with Furgueson and the other
members of the Town Improvement
Board.
The allegation had been made of the
existence of collision, as all the fields
in the district are brightly Illuminated,
for which the taxpayers had to bear. 1t
was shown that there was gas-lamp
for nearly every inhabitant of the town
and that no benefit was derived from
from any house.
Mr.. Furgueson displayed much anx-
iety. His memory was defective on
many points. He acknowledged that he
submitted the proposed specifications
TO President J. X: o. Sherwood, OF the
Gas Company, before the Board adopt
ed them. The specifications called for
the erection of a gas plant, but Mr..
Sherwood suggested that this portion
be omitted, as subsequent Board OF
Improvement might cut down the num-
Der of lamps named.
He was an old friend of Mr.. Sherwood
and did not think 1t strange or unusual
that he should make suggestions.

other gas company saw the proposed
specifications and did not submit any

STRIKERS MAKE THREATS.
Extra Police Guard Ordered for a
Brooklyn Shoe Factory.


The police are on guard to-day at
Lanes shoe factory. Fifth avenue and
Sterling place, Brooklyn. where the
hands went on strike yesterday. This
is the second strike there within six
weeks. The men who went out vest err
day were those employed to take the
places of the hands who went out at the
first strike. There are about eighty of
them, and they have been boarded on
the premises on account OF the bitter
feeling existing between them and the
men whose places they filled.
Yesterdays strike was caused by the
discharge OF two men. Now that both
of the contending parties are out to-
get her trouble is feared.
Police Captain Early had a detachment
of police ON duty all night. During the
early part of the night several windows
of the factory were broken by stones
thrown by the strikers, and ten arrests
were made There were several fight $
among the strikers and the police were
kept busy. The same condition prevails
to-day. The men are sullen and deter
mined.
The factory people expect to bring a
third gang OF workmen to the factory
the first of the week. The strikers say
the men will never reach there alive
and as an extra precaution the police
guard will be doubled.

They may not know 1t yet, but the
avenger is on their trail. and, II all
reports be true, he means to make
many of the dusky red men bite tn.
dust.
CHARLES Martin Is the avenger For
the past fourteen years he has resided
qmetiy at III Ashford street, Brooklyn.
During the greater part of that period
he has made study of the Indian cues
ton. 1t is stated. and he finally decided
that II was really wicked for the United
States Government to expend so many
million dollars of the aborigines every
year.
Inc climax was reached on Sept, %
last. when he learned. for the first time.
that Uncle Sam had paid out s275, 62l. SIS
for the support in idleness Of the Ind ans
since 1889.
That settled it.
He decided to go West and extermin-
ate every tribe either on or off the re-
servations.
He had position with Harper Broth
ers, the publishers. This he sacrificed
without informing his parents some
weeks previous to Sept. 49, though he
continued TO leave his home at A. NJ.
and return at the regular time at night
for his dinner
At o'clock in the afternoon of Sept
% he hurried to his home and told his
mother to get his best clothes together
at once, as he started Immediately for
the West. She did not know what to
make of this announcement, as she had
not been taken into his councils. She
left the room for a moment and when
she returned he was gone. He has not
been heard from since that day.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin are stricken with
grief. They describe Charlie as fourteen
years and six months old rather
sturdily built. light complexion. brown
hair minus two front upper teeth. wore
a soft felt hat, light trousers, black vest
and gray sack coat.
Mr. Martin told an Evening WORLD
reporter to-day that Charlie was con-
tinually pouring over railroad time
tables and talking of killing Indians
and going West. He feels confident that
his son has taken Horace Greeley's ad-
vice, and has requested the Chief OF
Brooklyns police to send out an alarm
to all points west of the Mississippi.
Charlie borrowed 81 from an aunt a
day or two before his departure, and II
is not known whether he had more
money.
