Mayor Fagan's Freaks.

Sometimes it looks as if His Honor,
Mayor Pagan of Hoboken. had lost
his head. His conduct towards the
man Adolph Horn, yesterday, certain
ly suggests total loss of command of
his temper and discretion. As nearly
as we can make out, the man and his
wife were originally the victims OF a
gross outrage. Detective Quinn ar
rested them, it is alleged, on a charge
of writing policy for their own three
children, and exaggerated the offence
by brutally insolent conduct in max
ing the arrest. Even assuming the
facts were not as bad as Horn repre-.
scented in his affidavit, it is not open
to doubt that the couple were az
quilted with lightning speed when
their case came to trial.
Under the circumstances, n would
expect the Mayor to treat them SYM
pathetically or at least ~courteously.
One would think he would hasten
the return to them of the money
taken from them at the time of the
arrest. They are not rich people, and
presumably they need all their funds
to carry on their business for their
own and their children's support.
Why then should the Mayor drive
Horn out of his office with abuse and
threats, and refuse to return the
none until its owner sued and Sc
cured an order of court for its repay
ment.
The Mayor must know the City of
Hoboken has no title to the money,
moral or legal. Even il the owners
we're convicted and the money es-
cheated. it would belong to the
county, not the city. Indeed, we
cannot see by what legal right the
city holds on to it at all, or has held
it so long. At any rate, since Horn
and his wife have been cleared by a
jury and discharged by the court, it
is nothing short of a m~onstrosity to
deprive them of their property and
to put them to the trouble, delay and
expense of a lawsuit to recove it.
By freaks of this sort, Mayor Pagan
has forfeited not a little of the
popularity which he lately enjoyed.
For his own future success, as well as
for the present interests of right and
good order, it is to be hoped he will
moderate his tone and come down to
something like the plane on which
ordinary mortals have to live.
THE spectacle of the Hon. G. Bragg
Fielder running away from the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of
Representatives, who was seeking him
to make him do his duty, is an in
structive one to the voters of this
county.
But George cannot do the ostrich
act with success in the present crisis.
He who shirks betrays.
The Board of Trade and the Poor.
The Board of Trade has taken up a
good work in contributing to the re-
lief Of the prevailing distress, and we
have no doubt its aid will be conser-
yatively extended by the committee

tinuously for "a hours. Fortunately the
ship received no damage. The Ward
liner Vigilancia, from Havana, en-
countered extreme weather. The hur-
ricane struck her off Barnegatsand blew
with terrific fury. Enormous seas broke
over her decks, washing her decks fore
and aft. Her starboard forecastle rail
was washed away. The steamer Trini-
dad experienced heavy weather also, and
was Obliged to heave to outside early In
the evening. She brings 118 passengers,
who were badly used up by the heavy
blow, nearly all them being seasick.
Although the storm was very heavy

casualties have been reported thus far.

SEIZED THE TRAIN.
The Western Contingent Of the Cox
eyites Captured Union Pacific
Freight Cars.
The Trainmen Submitted Quietly and
Are Carrying Them ON
Eastward,
As They Had Been Ordered to Do by
the Division superintendent In
Case OF Capture.

OMAHA, April ID. "A special to The
Bee from Evanston, Wy, says:
AT midnight General Kelly's army OF
the comnonweal. which had encamped
on the plains OF Utah, eight miles out
or Ogden, quickly broke camp and cap
tured Union Pacific freight train
made mp of box cars, en- route TO the
mines. General Kelly ut once assumed
command Of the train full of footsore
and weary crusaders. The engineer
and fireman obeyed orders as issued by
the commandant. as they had instruc-
ticns to do so from Superintendent Ban
croft OF the Mountain division, should
one of the trains in his division be cap
tured by the industrial legion. The
capture was totally unexpected, al
| though Superintendent Bancroft had
| predfctgd that such movement would
very likely take place on the part OF
General Kelly and his henchmen.
The march from Ogden was full OK
incident and excitement TO the hundreds
| OF men who composed the army. There
were plenty Of stragglers, men weak
frem want of food, men with rheuma-
tism. pneumonia and the countless other
things that follow in the wake of starv-
alton and priyation. When Utah was
reached the army decided to so in camp
TOR the e;night, but piclEets were put out,
and when a freight train came along 1t
was held mp in s
Regular "Bold Bandits Style, -ps
the trailnen showing little disposition to
question the right OF the men to take
charge of the train. Camp was
- once broken, and the men
climbed ON hoard the cars. and
several Of the most trusted of Kelly's
lieutenants took places in the cab OF tbs
engine, fearful OF treRchery on the part
of the engineer and fireman. The army
remained at the depot here abont "
minutes, while engines were being
shangeds and then proceeded eastward

Of bread, intending to feed them here
but as they had one or two carloads o
provisions with them they would no

The army ought to reach Cheyenne b.
night, barring mishaps and the side
tracking of the train, which will un
doubtedly be attempted on the part o
the railroad company. .a..
