1t was reported t. the police Of Jersey

inhabited by thieves. Chief Murphy
last night deniled Detectives Doyle and
Pierson on the case. They went to the
barn and secretcd themselves. They
had not waited long before two young
men came to the barn, one Of them
carrying satchel. This was opened,
and the young men began to put on
some odd costumes.
They then began rche irsing an old,
well-worn variety turn. one of the men
represented himself as the stage mana
ger and the other as the applicant for a
job, and both got off lot OF gags" that
carried the detectives back to child
hoods happy hour"
The man representing the manager
asked the applicant II he had ever been
on the stage. The applicant replied
"Oh, yes. | have driven II stage seventy
Ave miles day and can handle whip
as good as any one"
The detectives smothered a Eroan. and
the supposed stage manager replied:
You don't understand me. l mean
have you ever been on the boards
The applicant replied: Yes. | slept last
night In lumber yard"
The two detectives could stand no
more. They Jumped out and captured
the two men and took them before Chief
Murphy. They declared that they We're

FREE, THOUGH He SHOT A Man.
No One Appeared to Make g
Charge Against Wright.
Henderson May Die as the Result of
Barroom Fight.

Samuel Wright, a saloon-keeper Of 366
Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, was dis
charged from custody by Justice Tighe,
Ign, this morning because no one ap-
peared to make a charge against him.
Justice Gaynor's doctrine that magis-
trate has no right to hold a man On in
formatlo and belief dominated the pro,
ceedings
John Henderson, negro, of 204 Navy
street, is in the homeopathic Hospital
in very critical condition. having been
shot by Wright last night during bar
room fracas.
Henderson and another negro, Edward
La Mott, visited Wright's saloon, drank
several times and refused to pay for
their liquor. A row ensued and the
In about an hour they returned and
demanded more whiskey. Wright re-
fused to give 1t TO them, and he says the
men threatened him.
He retreated behind the bar. picked VI
a Colts 44-calibre revolver and prepared
to repel boarders. Several other negroes
who had heard the noise, came into the
saloon, and Wright says things began tc

He says he fired two shots in the air
but a third bullet struck Henderson II
the right hip. He fell to the floor. and
his associates ran away.
Policeman McGrath, of the Adams
street station, arrived Ia time to arres
La Mott and Wright. Henderson wa
taken to the hospital. His life Is de
SPARED Of.
La Mott refused to make a complain
against Wright this moring, and he wa
discharged.
Policeman McGrath could only tell O
what he had heard and that would nc
satisfy Judge Tighe. Henderson could no
appear in court. Wright was discharged

ANOTHER BIG HOTEL.
It Will Be Erected at Riverside
Drive and l20th Street
Site Purchased from the Peter
Cooper Estate for S2s5,0OO.
The Entire Cost, 1t Is Estimated,
Will BE s2,0oO,Ooo

Work on another great hotel in this
city will soon be begun. 1t Is estimated
that 1t will cost $1,000. 900, and 1t will
be situated on one Hundred and Twen-
tieth street, near the Riverside Drive,
opposite the tomb of Gen. Grant.
The new enterprise will be conducted
by the David II. Davies Building Com
pany. which has had 1t in contempla-
ton for some time. but owing to the
difficulty of procuring land at reasona-
BILE terms had to wait longer than was
originally intended. Negotiations with
j. Romaine Brown, the Harlem real
estate man, were entered into for the
purchase of a block last Fall, but fell
through because Mr.. Brown asked too
much for the site required, 300 feet
frontage. Recently the Company pur-
chased the requisite property from the
agent of the Peter Cooper estate for
$2S5. 900. The deed of sale will be re-
corded Monday.
Half a million dollars OF the money re-
quired to construct the big hotel Will be
raised on first mortgage. half a million
on second mortgage, and the architects,
iron contractors. builders and othes en-
gagged in construction will take the bal
ance of a million dollars out in stock.
1t is thought the hotel will have been
completed by Jan. 1, 1897. The name
has not vet been decided upon, but II
may be called either the Cambridge or
Hudson River Hotel.

a reward OF $50 for his capture.
Lasalle stole $500 from the cash draw

tate agents, that Chicago syndicate
Is contemplating the purchase of the
block bounded by Twenty-ffth and
Twenty-sixth streets and Broadway

the site of a mammoth office building,
with stores on the ground floor.
A brief investigation discloses the
fact that the building would have to be
whale to compare approximately with
the dimensions of the undertaking. Sew
eral large new buildings wiuld have to
be bought and destroyed and consdera-
lions allowed for years of ground lease
to several wealthy and prosperous &C.
cupants that would make the scheme
one of such fabulous cost that not
even the nerve of Chicago would con-
template 1t without flinching.

Mr.. Redfern said that he had n lease

with misapplying $50, 900 of funds OF the
Middletown National Bank, of Middle
town, which failed last week, Charles +.
Raymond, President, and his brother
Edward Raymond, the cashier, were ar
rested last night by Deputy Marshal An
derson on warrants sworn out by Bank
Examiner Hardt.
Hardt and an assistant have been at

that a large amount of funds had been
misapplied by officials OF the bank
Neither will give the amount of the

Both the regulars and the Willis fac
tons of the Republican party in Brook
lyn this morning, claimed to have car
ried a majority of the ninety delegates
elected to the State invention in Kings
County last night.
The followers of Buttling claim fifty
seven OF the ninety delegates, and Willis
claims sixty-three. Willis says these
the first ballot.
sixty three delegates will go to the Con-
vention to vote for Levi p. Morton on
The most interesting story It'd this
morning about the onventions last night
was the trick played by Sheriff Butt
ling to send the turned-down leader,
Jacob Worth, to the Convention.
Worth was a candidate In the Fifth
District, and while trying to control the
six delegates from the Nineteenth and
Seventh Wards, he was frozen out en-
tirely.
Buttling, in the Third District. was to
be elected a delegate. He had a man
stationed at the invention dood in the
Fifth District. and when he was tele-
phoned that Worth was mot in It," he
had his name dropped as candidate
and Worths substituted.
In the Fifteenth Assembly District,
resolutions introduced by Mr.. Drew to
have the delegates vote against Plat

ELIZABETH. n. j., Sept. l5-It has
been discovered here that John Rain
bow. a prisoner, who was arrested for
stealing a silver watch, and who pleaded
guilty and was on Wednesday sentenced
by Judge Mccormick to year in State
prison, has a splendid army record, and
the Grand Army men here are interest
ing themselves to procure a commuta-
ton of his sentence.
Rainbow was one OF the chief wit
nesses against brutal Keeper Writ. OF
Andcrsonville. and spent nine months In
that loathsome dungeon, where he en-
dured almost undeard OF cruelties for six
months. He weighed only eightyfour
pounds when released from the prison
pen. He Is now sixty-three years old,
weighs 100 and is tall and straight as an
arrow He served in the Second New
Jersey.
His present trouble, the first OF the
kind he ever got into. was caused by
drink. He went on big spree, had n
craving for more rum and while In this
condition took the watch of a fellow
boarder. and sold 1t for a quart or
whiskey. Warden f5iore, OF the county
Jail. who himself is an old Union soldier,
says there Is no doubt about Rainbow 4
record. and he Is greatly interested in
his case.
