IN RUPFIANS' HANDS.
Two Young Girls Drugged I'm an
Elizabeth Hotel.

ELIZABETH, Sept. q, 1S94.-Last night
two respectable girls of the names of
Beatrice Barclay of No. 80 Broad street
and Nellie King of No. 1,130 Elizabeth
avenue met an engineer of the Jersey
Central Railroad living in Railway, and
were enticed into Hynes' hotel, on West
Grand street, where, in a back room,
they were piled with wine.
They became stupified, and were taken
upstairs by the man and locked in a
room. Later, it Is charged by the girls,
he attempted to assault them
A terrible struggle ensued, and in the
struggle the clothing of the King girl
was torn off. The girls screams caused
their assailant to run from the room, but
he locked the door
The girls continued to scream and kick
on the door until it was opened. Both
girls ran downstairs to the next floor,
where Miss King sprang from the win
dow. She landed on the ground and
slightly injured herself. She ran to her
home and told her brother, who asked
the aid of Policeman Elminger. He went
TO the house, but adnlittance was at
first refused.
On gaining an entrance he found Miss
released her and later brought both wom-
en- to Police Headquarters. The girls,
who had evidently been drugged, We're
held by Police Justice Neill until their
assailant is arrested. 1t is thought that
the girls We're roughly handled. The
proprietor of the house, James Hynes,
had gone home and knew nothing of the
alleged assault. Both girls are pretty and
sixteen years OF age.

NOBLE JOHN 7. DUNN.
He Will Run Again simply to Save
Kfis Party.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 81, 1884,
At the Democratic Congressional Head
quarters in this city the party managers
believe that the Democrats will not lose
more than one or two districts in New
Jersey next fall, despite the Republican
gerrymandering. 1t is said that Mr.. Gels
senhaimer has some trouble on his hands
due to his position regarding immigration
but it is believed that this can be salts
factorily arranged before election day.
MI Cornish is regarded as safe and Mr..
Cadmus, it is thought, can pull through.
Some doubt is expressed as to the ability
of the Democrats to hold the Newark
district in line.
NOBLE JOHN t. DUNN.
The entertaining story, however, that
has appeared here is connected with the
name of the Elizabeth member, John 7.
Dunn. Mr.. Dunn was in the city yester
day and he confided to reporter the
fact that unless he were the candidate
the Republicans would carry his district.
He has decided, therefore, to save the
district by being the nominee. He is go
ing into the campaign for hard fight,
would meet the approval of Sullivan or
Corbett. During the last session of Con-
gress Mr.. Dunn was a short thick set
heavy man, acquired considerable more
and had throat trouble, which resulted
almost in the loss of his voice.
TRAINING UNDER MULDOON.
During the past two or three weeks he
has been in charge of Muldoon, the train
er, training down his flesh and seeking
the recovery of his voice, as well as mus
cular activity and endurance. Each
morning before breakfast he spends an
hour pitching a heavy ball across a hun
dred foot room until he is reeking with
perspiration. This is followed by steam
bath and ice cold plunge, and after
slight breakfast he takes a run of from
ten to twelve miles. He goes through
other athletic exercises under the di-
rection of the mighty Muldoon, and in
the afternoon spends an hour and a half
on the back of a brisk trotting horse
BY this course of training he has pulled
off about twenty pounds of surplus flesh,
more before going into the campaign.
His voice is entirely recovered, and he
has the springing movements of a train
ed athlete. In about two weeks he will
go into the campaign and make it pretty
lively for the boys.

unloaded car.
Just when the engine of the east-bound
freight train was opposite this car there
came a curve in the read.

SPHYNZCY MCPHERSON.
Refuses to Talk on the Sena-
torial Situa ion-Klotz Said
to Have Secured the
Colleetorship.

Senator John r. Mcpherson had a num-
Der of callers yesterday at his office on
Chambers street, New York. Among
them was Congressman Cornish and
Major Samuel Klotz, and they, as well
as the others, urged the Senator to jump
right in and make a fight for reelection
II don't know just what I'll do yet, :"
Mr.. Mcpherson said. MY health has
scarcely improved any, and I'm not in
a condition to face the work and worry
of a campaign But l am not unmindful
of the obligations that l owe to the
Democratic party, and that thought is
what has prevented me ere now re-
firing from the political arena. I'm
weighing the matter earnestly in all its
phases, and shall not come to conclu-
sion hastily
.Is it true that the Sugar Trust is op-
posed to you?" the Senator was asked.
80 I'VE been told and the information
comes pretty straight" the Senator re-
piled.
Perhaps they'll come out openly with
a declaration of hostility"
Hardly, though 1 wish they would"
MAY RUN FOR SENATOR.
There was a general conversation about
the outlook in New Jersey. The visitors
were unanimous in telling Senator Nc
Pherson that he could make winning
fight as the representative of President
Cleveland and his policy. Some of them
very bluntly informed him that his re-
fusal to take hold of the campaign this
year would be equivalent to handing the
state over to the Republicans This
touched him on a sore spot and he re-
torted that he was willing to do any
thing to promote the interests of the
party.
"Then get in and make this fight" sug-
gested Congressman Cornish.
"Ah," said the Senator Il have yet to
learn that my candidacy is essential to
Democratic success in a Democratic
State"
How about the Internal Revenue Col
lectorship?"
MY opinion about that" the Senator
said, with deliberation, !" is that there
will be no appointment made at pres
ent."
That answer drew forth remarks about
the necessity of having a Democratic
Collector in. office during the campaign
that is opening. The Senator said that
he fully realized that, but could do
nothing to hasten action on the part Of
President Cleveland
Well, remarked Major Klotz, all
rye got to say Is this, that If the ap-

LONDON. Sept 21, 1S94.-The "Times"
Shanghai correspondent teIegraphs that
a special cable despatch from Japan
states that three japanese warships,
the names of which are not given, were
destroyed, and the Hi-Yei-Kan was Sc
verely damaged by fire during the recent
naval battle with the Chinkse. The
Matsusima and Setikio were also seri-
ously injured. The despatch further
says the japanese official advices are

The Westminster Gazette" says news
agency here has information from Kobe
that a cable despatch received there from
Shanghai confirms the Chinese version
of the naval battle at Yalu in so far as
the Japanese losses are concerned. This
despatch asserts that three of the Jap
anese warships, the names of which are
not given, however. were lost during the
fight.
The latest statement regarding the
losses of the Japanese in the recent

A TEAM

What is team? Is it an animal
hitched to wagon, or two or more ami
mails and wagon, or simply two ami
mails which are harnessed up together?
Does the word include the vehicle?
An exiled Bostonian, writing from Ne
braska to a Boston paper, confesses his
humiliation when, upon remark:ng. that
a team" had been left in the street,
ne was told by a cowboy that he meant
a wagon. He admits that the COWBOY
was right, and so it seems here. In the
State Of New York where high stand
ard of language prevails, team proper
ly includes the animals, if more than one,
which haul a vehicle, but not the vehicle
itself; but improperly it is used TO desig-
nate any animal or animals hitchea to
any vehicle. 1t is not used, however, to
designate the vehicle without the ami
mails, as seems sometimes TO be the case
III New England. \ synonyme for team

CARLISLE TO REoRGAN1zE.
Architect O'EourIke's Successor Will
Not BE Named for Month.

ArcnEtect O71&OufAe'S SUCCESSOR Will
Not BE Named for a Month.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, 1894 The
statement is madeN at the Treasury De-
partment that it will be month or six
weeks before Secretary Carlisle fills the
vacancy caused by the enforced resig-
nation of Supervising Architect O'Rourke
and that when he does make the ap-
pointment. the new architect will go
into a thoroughly ..e-organized Office.
with the scientific and technical branches
of the work segregated from the purely
departure long contemplated by Secre-
tary Carlisle, as the principal source
of trouble in the architects Office during
the former and the present adlninistra-
tions has been the clash between the
scientific and non-scientific branches OF
the Office.
The architects duties in the future will
confined as much as possible to the pure
ly scientific and technical branches of
the work, such as engineering, drafting,
construction and repair work, While the
administrative branches of the office,
such as the awarding of contracts, the
accounts, divisions, and the clerical work
viii be under the supervision OF the Sec
retary of the Treasury.
A Treasury official, thoroughly inform
ed as to the views of Secretary Carlisle
on the subject, said that it could be read
ly seen that the changes as ontlined
above could not help but improve the
efficiency of the architects Office, and
relieve him of numerous minor and un-
important details, and give him time to
devote to the scientific work of his inn
portant bureau. For instance hereto
fore whenever any room had to be as
signed in public building, say in Texas
or Maine, the time of the architect was
taken up in making t he selection so
also in passing the hundred and one lit
tie accounts occasioned by minor re-
pairs to public buildings
Secretary Carlisle will devote much
of the time intervening between now and
the appointment of the new architect
in perfecting the Reorganization of the
office on the plan, a rough outline OF
which is given above.
