FOLBY'S ALARM Box
The Telegraph Super" Chased
By a Butcher, a Murphy, a
Cleayer, Three China
men and a Self
zer Bottle.

When the police signal system was put
in on the Heights a couple of years ago 1t
was done in a hurry, and several report
ing stations were put up at more or less
inconvenient places. They were supposed
to be only temporary, as Superintendent
Foley intended to change them to better
places as soon as the line was in working
order and experience had demonstrated
where they ought to go.
But Superintendent Foley has been so
busy keeping the system throughout the
city in order that not until yesterday did
he get an opportunity to change the sta
tons on the Heights. With several work
men ne proceeded ito the corner of Hutton
street and Cambridge avenue in front of
the Arion Club. and removed the signal
box which was located on an old tele-
graph pole there. Then at the head of
his mes he went to Central avenue in
front q William Gregory's butcher store,
at No. 20. and proceeded to dig a hole
for the purpose of erecting a pole.
Gregory was in the store at the time
and as soon as the men began TO dig he
ran out with a cleaver in his hands and
ordered them away. He threatened to
make it '-hot'' for the first man who re-
moved another shovelfull of earth and
he looked as if he meant what he said.
Mr.. Foley in a very polite manner told
Mr.. Gregory for what purpose the pole
was being erected, but it made no differ
ence to the butcher. In very emphatic
terms Mr.. Gregory informed the only
superintendent in the Police Department
hat he, MI. Gregory, was a member of
the Executive Committee of the Hudson
County Republican, Comnaittee and a
big politician in the city, and he did
moi care whether it was the Police or
Fire Department or who a was, no pole
should be erected in front of his house.
Mr.. Foley smiled and bowed low at the
'sheap big achem" of the Republican
party, and moved down the street until he
came to the dividing line of Mr.. Greg
ory's store and Mr.. E. Murphy's house.,
at No. 27. There ne again attempted TO
erect the pole, but Mr.. Gregory got Mr..
Murphy and combining forces against
Foley drove him away again.
After holding a short consultation with
his men Foley decided to try again fur
three heathens. Foley did net count Mrs.
cupied by a Chinese laundry, in which
are located three almond eyed Celestial
eountrymen of the great ana only III

three heather. Foley did not count Mrs.

sLIOING A BIG PAINTING.

a Paris Letter states that the colossal
panorama of the Battle of Rezonville.
wl.sch was originally painted by te
two famous military painters, Alphonss
de Melville ad Edouar petailfe. has
been sold for a song. since its exhib :
ton ceased to be profitable. The pur-
chaser has evolved a curious plan 10
make money out of the immense canvas
without the trouble Of setting up the
panorama. TIL huge canvas has been
cut into a large number OF smaller paint
ings. some of which represent historical
scenes of great Importance, while almost
all of them are entirely complete in
themselves. and show attractive scenes
from military life Two large paintings
THIS obtained from the panorama. The
Death Rid OF Rezonville' and the
Council Of War Between General Rour-
balEi and Marshal Canrobert,p have been
purchased fer the Museum of Versailles.
and the price paid for these two cam
vases alone is almost equal to the sum
paid by the Spectator for the entire pam
Drama. Altogether 1S7 pictures Of diff
ferent size. have been obtained from the

ACCUSED OF sWINDLIEG.
A Consolidated Traction Conductor
Heat the Company with Ole Tickets

Frederick Sutton, conductor in the en-
ploy of the Consolidated Traction Com
pany, residing at No. 1873 Warren street,
Newark, was yesterday arrested by De-
tective Dalton, charged with embezzle-
ment. The complaint against Sutton was.
made by Edward D. Hibbs, treasurer Of
the company, who charges him with de-
frauding the company by substituting
transfer tickets for money.
Fulton was employed on the Newark
line and having, it is alleged, obtained
from the Office surreptitiously a lot of
old transfer tickets which had been used
and punched. he turned them in in place
of new tickets, which he did not punch
when taking them from passengers. These
he retained n sold for trip tickets at ten
cents each. Chief Murphy says that the
system upon which Sutton worked the
swindle has not yet been made quite clear.
He was arraigned today before Police
Justice Potts and remanded for examina-
ton tomorrow.

DRUGGHD IN HOB0KHN.
A New York Business Man
Given Knockout Drops and
Robbed-Loeked Up
AS Drunk.

julius H. Tranck, a real estate dealer,
of No. 1893 Third venue, New York
City, was found lying unconscious last
night on the grounds of the Stevens In
stftute. Hoboken. by Special Ohicer Stew
art, who is Waterman there. Tranck did
not recover consciousness until this morn
ing, when he told his story. AT first it
was thought hat the man was drunk,
and City Physician Simon so pronounced
him last night. Tranek was locked up
as being drunk. This morning he told a
tale which puts a different phase on the
subject. Tranek says he was drugged
and robbed.
The Waterman. was making his rounds
of the college buildings at $50 o'clock
last night when he came across the body
of a man stretched out 10 sone of the
dark alleys made by the angles of the
building. The man was breathing
heavily and unconscious. Stewart bent
over him and found that his pockets were
turned inside out. His clothes, which
were of good material and fashionable cut,
were d-isarranged and soiled, as though
the body had been dragged some distance
and thrown hastily Into this dark resting
place. Stewart called for the police and
Officer Murray responded.
Tranck was taken to Police Headquar-
tiers in the ambulance. The City Ply
s.cian examined the apparently inanimate
body and pronounced it a case of drunk
ennsss. Tranck was in a heavy stupor
and did not act like a drunken man. HIS
name was acsertained from cards found
in his pocket, burt his address was not
known until this morning., when he was
brought before the Recorder. Tranck was
somewhat dazed but talked i1telligently
enough. He said
L came over to Hoboken yesterday af-
ternoon on business. l had dinner at
Busch's Hotel at Third and Hudson streets.

Hoboken property, and represented him

gave me his name but / cannot recall 1t
now. We went to a saloon together,
and after having a drink | lost all idea
of what followed. The last | re.

The next thing l knew was in a CELL l

Recorder McDonough discharged him,
as he said Tranck had already lost
enough. Tranck then left for his home.
He could tell little about the man VINO
had been with him or the place where the
~drugging occurred.
He was evidently confused and dazed
by his experience
Tranck's evident responsibility and the
fact that he was found in such an out of
the way place gives an ar of credibility
to his story. The police know nothing
about it, and have no clue TO the possible
mixers of knockout drops.

GREENVILLE TURN VERBIN.
The Instructor Becomes a Member
of the Society.

Four were elected to membership and
six applications were received at the
meeting of the Greenville Turn Verein
last night at Turn Hall on Danfcrth ave-
nue.. Among the applications was that of
Mr.. Walters, the instructor Of the We
rein. He has resigned from the Brook
lyn to join the Greenville Verein. This
will enable him to take a greater interest
in the success of the gymnasium classes
than if he We're simply instructor from
another Verein. The committee which
looks after the interests of the Ladies'
Section of the society reported that the
ladies' gymnasium class has been organ
lied with a membership of thirty-esght.
An Invitation was received to the Hud-
son City Turn Verein's annual turn day
to be held at the Union HILL Schuetzen
Park on September q. The Greenville
Verein will attend in a body.
The committee on the recent stiftingS
fest reported that the affair was a inan-
cial success.
