WAR ON THE DIVES.
Queer Discoveries at the Cen
trail Theatre ashing-
ton Garden Closed.

Louis Baer, proprietor of the Central
Theatre on Newark avenue, was a prisoner
in Justice Potts Court this morning, charged
with selling liquor without a license by In
spector LANCE, and accused of the larceny of
$40 by Michael Mcdonald.
A few days. ago Chief Murphy learned that
Baer was selling liquor, notwithstanding the
Aldermen had refused him a license. Nc
Donald, who is a friend Of Baer's, while off
on a ''toot' went to the theatre on two &C
casions and purchased beer and wine for
himself and the women performers. Last
Thursday night Mcdonald alleges he gave
Baer SO and asked him to say it for him
until he sobered up. The money was placed
in an envelope and deposited with the cashier.
Friday evening Mcdonald went to the
theatre again and asked for his money. Baar
told him that he had never given him any,
aud the cashier corroborated this statement.
Mcdonald reported the case to Chief Murphy,
and after considerable persuasion he made a
complaint against Baer.
Saturday night, at about half-past ten
o'clock, Inspector LANCE with Detectives
Dalton, McNally and Smith went to the
place to serve. the warrant. On the way
into the theatre the Inspector stepped in
behind the bar and trying the faucets found
beer on draught. He drank a glass to assure
himself. Inc detectives sampled what the
walters declared was weiss beer and found
it to be regular lager beer. The Inspector
made his way to the private boxes
and found men in the drinking bottled
beer with the performers. One of the
women, who happened to be attired in a
| particularly short dress, recognized the In
! spector, and rushed downstairs to effect an
escape. The Inspector followed her, and
was d~umbfounded to see her dash through a
| hole in the wall into the yard. When the
Inspector made his way through he found
the woman entering a saloon next door to
the theatre, run by a man named Kelly.
The hole in the wall was used, it is believed,
by men who entered Kelly's saloon, and
| then unobserved entered the theatre, where
they were entertained by the short dress
women.
Proprietor Baer was arrested, and with
him Willfaln Garretson and Samuel Kugel
man, b~aftenders, and William Mcmahon,
| the cashier. Judge Puster and Counsellor
Manning appeared for Baer this morning
and had the bearing postponed until tomor
| row morning.
Chief Murphy declares that Baer had ar
ranged to run a regular dive. He believes
that he has enough evidence against him to
drive him out of town.
The Washington Garden is closed, and a
close watch is kept upon the old j. I. c. and
Reiber's new den at No. sol Grove street.

MORE FREE BATH FACILITIES.
Pastor Wells Prelude nc His sunday
ven Lecture.


Previous to his illustrated lecture last
evening in the Tabernacle the assistant pas
tor, the Rev. j. Lester Wells, delivered
another prelude on ''Free Baths" He ex-
hibited several pictures of the Palace on
Grand street, and threw IN the screen d
photograph of a group of boys and said they
looked clean and were, because they had
been bathing in the Peoples Palace swim
ming tank. Pastor Wells stated that since
the appeal had been made for funds toward
the expenses of free bathing for boys over
SIS had come in and thanks were extended
to the friends who had so kindly contri-
buted. The free baths would continue as
long as the money lasted.
A portrait of the Rev. John l.. Seudder
was then projected upon the screen and Mr..
Wells said the pastor of the old Tabernacle
would second all he had said on the subject
of the free baths system.
Hereafter the baths will be open for the
boys from ten o'clock every day, only Tues
day and Saturday evenings will be reserved

RECEIVER FOR HIGGINS SOAP co.
Chancellor McGTM Appoints w. G.. he.

Chancellor McGflI Appoints w. G. h.
See.
When the application of Treasurer Joseph
W. Stray of the Higgins Soap Company
came up before Chancellor McGill this
morning in Chancery Chambers in Jersey'
CITY, a few of the creditors were present
but none of them was represented by coun
sci.
Mr.. H. j. Smith of the firm OF Smith
Bros, engineers and boiler make rs, of Jay
and Plymouth streets, Brooklyn, one of the
largest creditors, said he would not oppose
the appointment of a receiver unless the
name of Joseph w. Stray was nominated.
II don't think" said Mr.. Smith that he is
a fit person to hold such a position"
Mr.. Smith said that since the firm started
in Atlantic avenue his firm has not received
a cent of their bill for fitting up the manu-
factory.
Counsellor Northrup for Mr.. Stray opened
the proceedings by reiterating facts in refer
ence to the insolvency of the firm. There
were no assets of any great value.
stDoes anyone present" asked the Chancel-
lor, represent the Higgins Soap Company
here as ~defendants?" but there was no reply,
and the only thing to settle was the name of
the receiver.
w. Northrup said that he would not adj
vocate Mr.. Stray, because he was a nom
resident of New Jersey and besides was in
terested in the company as an officer, stock
holder and one of its incorporators.
Counsel nominated Mr.. William G. E. See
of Jerseg City receiver, and directed the de-
PENDANT Soap Company to deposit $3.50 into
court to cover the receivers expenses.

NICE KIND OF RAILROAD THIS.
Receiver Appointed for the Rocka'
way VaIly system.


Counsellor Lindabury told Chancellor Nc
Gill a remarkable story of a New Jersey
Railroad for which he was asking for the APP
pointment for a receiver. He presented a
petition from stockholders and bondholders
of the Rockaway Valley Railroad Company,
complaining that the road is managed III
an absurd and ludicrous manner. There Is
no system of running trains; no schedule.
The roadbed is going to pieces, and the worst
feature of the matter is that 1t IS leased TO
the Rockaway Construction Company,
which Corporation Counsel termed the most
irresponsible one in the world.
1t hasn't a dollar in its treasury, and is
now In the hands of a receiver, who hasn't
received anything for the very good reason
that there is nothing to receive.
The Rockaway Railroad Company con-
sisted of three small lines of about nine
miles each in length, and the membranes
on each of which amount to sums varying
from $175 to 100000.
Mr.. FIavel MCGEE, representing the First
National Bank of Jersey City, which holds a
large amount of notes of the insolvent cor
porauion, did not oppose the application, but
hoped that a responsible person would be
placed in control to run the road economi-
cally.
1t was agreed by opposing counsel that
the corporation was insolvent. and the only
question to be decided was the receiver him
self. The First National Bank nominated
Mr.. John S. McMaster, while others nomi-
mated Mr.. James H. Sayres of New Ger
mantown and Mr.. Honeyman receiver of
the corporation.
Chancellor McGill ignored all the names
and appointed Ex-Governor G.. c. Ludlow.

A NEW PAIR OF SHOES.

Morris Sabine, a shoemaker at Communi-
paw avenue and Grand street, reported to
the police on Saturday morning that his
shop had been broken into during the pre-
vious night and a pair Of shoes stolen.
Patrolman Hennessy received orders to in
vestigate. Early this morning Hennessy
found John Murphy lying drunk IN the
street near the store. Murphy is a laborer,
twenty years old, and has no residence. He
wore a brand new pair of shoes, which at
once caught the eagle optic of Patrolman
Hennessy. Sabine was sent for and at once
identified the shoes. He swore they were
his shoes and took them from Murphy's feet
and carried them back to his shop with tears
of joy.
When Murphy became sober this morning
and missed his shoes he became frightened.
When he appeared before Justice Douglass
he regretted he had gone to bed in his boots
on the sidewalk. He was held under $500
bonds.

should Be appointed and he approved of Mr..
Hardin. The Banking Company is one of
