Old Indictment.
James Courtney, the alleged accom-
plice of VIM. Brockway. the notorious
counterfeiter, was arraigned before
United States Cornmissscze ger Romaine for
q hearing yesterday.
courtney, who is sixty years old. was
arrested last summer when HE Hazen
OF the Secret Service Bureau captured
Brockway and his gang in the rendezvous
in West Hoboken. Shortly after Court
ney's arrest Chief Hazen discovered that
there was an old Indictment hanging
over him for the circulation of 5000 in
counterfeit $40 bills in Michigan in 1858.
He was indicted at that time, but before
he could be arrested he was nabbed in
Canada for SHOWING the queer end i'm
prisoned for seven years.
when his term expired he returned to
this country and travelled abount under
an assumed name, managing to evade
arrest In the meantime the old Michigan
indictment had been forgotten and would
probably nave remained pigeon-holed at
Washington, D.. c., had not Chief Hazen
discovered it.
The evidence against Courtney in this
State is meagre and for that reason Chief
Hazen is anxious to have him delivered
to the Michigan authorities. District
Attorney Beekman yesterday asked for
Brockway in this State, but Commits
sioner Romano objected.
James B. Lucy, of Romeo, Michigan,
identified the old man as the Michigan
offender. Testimony is to be taken again
tomorrow. AS soon as it is all in Dis
trict Attorney Beekman proposes apply
ink to Judge Green at Trenton for Court
neys discharge and removal to Michigan.

Lyric Theasre. Hoboken.


"The New Boy" a farce comedy in
three acts was presented at the Lyric
Theatre, Hoboken, last night to a crowd
ed audience. 1t Is given by an exceed
ingly strong mpa and is beyond
doubt one of the best farce comedies
ever. seen in this State. The play is a
mountain of fun. 1t is replete with
humorous situations, so irresistibly anus
Ing that the audience is kept in a con-
tinuous roar of laughter from start to
finish. The new boy, who is so admir-
ably i-mpersonated by Bert Coote. is the
cause Of all the fun. He is mot a boy
as might be inferred from the title Of
the pay, but a real man, thirty years old,
who is looked upon as a boy because he
is unable TO convince people of his age.
A handsome widow becomes his wife.
Her fortune is invested in stocks which
have deprecated in value, and she is
made matron Of a boarding school by a
DOCTOR. an old admirer, who has money
tied up IN the same investment. The
doctor roposes to marry her, and in
order to- keep her position she humors
him. Her husband is mistaken for hef.
boy. m he is compelled to sleep with
the college students, who chastise and
come in owe with "Tne New Boy"
When he tells them his age they dis
believe him and say that he is Joking.
No one knows that he is married but
his wife, the good looking widow, whom
the doctor and the villain are trying to
marry. Other good characters in the
play are:-Felix Roach, G. H. Truesdel;
Doctor Candy, Homer Granville; Theo-
dore de Brizac. Emile La Croix; Bullock
Major. Duncan B. Harris; Mr.. Stubber.
w. r. Maxwell; Mrs. Renwfck, Louise
Douglass; Nancy Roach. Julie Kingsley

BALL OF THE BARRY ASSOCIATION

Society of the Old Horseshoe shed its
lustre last night at the eleventh annual
ball OF the William NJ. Barry B. & A
Association, at Woods Hall. As may be
supposed, the Standard Bearer was in
his glory and would not have changed
places with the greatest potentate. The
hall was superbly decorated and beneath
the rays Of numerous electric lights pre-
scented a brilliant scene, while the huge
company which filled both the dancing
floor and balconies gave vent to the ut
most joyousness, such as only the deni-
zens of Barry's domain can produce.
Mr.. Barry led the grand march, resenl-
bling Napoleon, as he was supposed to
look to a remarkable degree, the hosts
following, with c-ountenanees beaming
with adulation of their chief.
The floor manager was John Fitzsim-
mons; assistant, Patrick F. Hayes: floor
committee, John Fox, Mortimer j. Hayes,
Patrick Donelon and James Devlin: Re

a merry time at the banquet in Taylor's

OF MRS WALSH, IS THIS rRUBq

Patrick Walsh of Harrison was called
up in the Sessions Court yesterday after
noon to be sentenced for beating his
wife. He had pleaded guilty.
In answer to Judge Hudspeth's ques-
tons Walsh said that he was a hard
working man, burt that NE was cursed
with a wife WHO was given to drinking.
His wife, he said, frequently locked
their three children in the house while
she went out to visit some other women
like herself and get drunk. 1t was a
common occurrence for him to come
home and find the doors ocked and the
children inside n his meals not ready.
AT the time he beat his wife he found
her drinking with several ether women
of whose responsibility he did not enter
tain a very exalted opinion.
Judge Hudspeth postponed the case
made. -
