M TUMILTY CAUGHT.
Came over to Settle Up His Business
A Hot Chase.

A Hot Chase.
Ex-Assemblyman James Tumilty, who
skipped out of town several weeks ago to
evade being arrested on a capias issued by
Judge Lippincott, came to town yesterday to
see his lawyers and was nabbed by two of
Sheriff Toffey's constables, who were waiting
forhim.
Tumilty, who was formerly in the real
estate business, with An Office on Newark
avenue, got into financial difficulty last
summer and his creditors began pressing
him closely. He collected 1857 for rents on
the property of John Woods of this city, and
failed to account for the same. Woods sued
and recovered Judgment in civil proceedings,
but Tumiltv did not appear. he also col
lected 1900 for Joseph OConnor, a collector
for Lembeck & Betz, the brewers, and APP
propriated that amount to his own use.
The Grand Jury indicted Humility on two
charges of enlightenment and another one of
assault and battery on Constable Frederick
Budden, Jr., but as soon as Tulnilty learned
of this he left the State.
Sheriff Toffey learned yesterday that
Tumilty was coming to Jersey City to see
his lawyer, Counsellor Manning, and de-
tailed Constables Joraleman, Locke and
Egan to capture him. They waited outside
of LAWYER Manning's office until Tumilty
came out. but he spotted them at once and
started on a run for the ferry. Joraleman
is something of a sprinter and captured the
fugitive before he had gone half a block. He
was taken to the County Jail and locked up.
This morning he was taken before Judge
Lippincott and surrendered by Anthony
Dryer and James Soden, his bondsmen, and
recommitted on common bail. He was ar
raigned before Judge Hudspeth in Special
Sessions later in the day, when he pleaded
not guilty to the charges, and was admitted
to bail in the sum of $3.50, Street Superin-
tendent Phil Tumilty and Contractor Henry
Byrnes becoming his bondsmen.
1t is said that Tumilty came over to close
up his business with his lawyer, and-had he
not been caught, would have been now far
away from the local authorities, as he had
made all plans to depart for California last

PLAINFIELD, Jan. 10, 1S94.-Mrs. John G.
Smalley, the wife of a well-to-do butcher,
attempted to commit suicide by taken lauda-
mum yesterday. She had been a victim of
melancholia since the death of her little son,
about Christmas, but no suspicion of her
suicidal intent had been apparent.
Mr.. Smalley was home when his wife came
in from a trip to a store, bringing a four
ounce bottle with her. She asked her
daughter for some water, and at once put
the bottle to her lips. Mr.. Smalley snatched
the bottle from his wife, but she had swal-
lowed about half the contents, saying: well,
I AVE taken enough to do me, anyhow
Antidotes were administered while she
struggled against it, vowing that she would
finish the job next time.

the mother asked, II seems that it was a
trouble over them and said, II don't know
what kind of sums they are except hard
ones" Then with HIS brow wrinlded IN
at the thought of them he added, "but You
put 'em TO 'em; you take 'em from EN-;
You four times 'em and you how many
times in 'em," And no one can deny that
Jacks sums did sound dreadfully hard.
