frOnted the


George Albers was tried in the General
Sessions Court this morning for break
ing into an Erie Railroad car at the Ber-
gen transfer station on July 1. Frequent
robberies had occurred in the yards at
that point, and the officials of the com
pany determined upon decided measures
to stop them.
On July l George S. Day, a brennan
for the company, loaded a car at the
transfer station with miscellaneous mer-
chand!se, and put two special officers,
William E. Brown and George C. Hare,
in the car TO watch for thieves. They
were locked in and the car sealed. Then
the car was pulled out on a side track.
Inat was a few minutes before twelve
O'clock. The officers took off their shoes
and coats and sat down behind a refri-
gerator to await developments. About
a quarter to one O'clock they heard the
or two .afterward the seal was broken.
the door forced open and Albers clam
bered in He was confronted by the off,
GERS, who drew revolvers. Albers retreat
ed precipitately and ran away. as fast as
his legs could carry him. The officers pur-
sued him in their stocking feet, and fired
several shots after him, but they only
accelerated his speed. Albers never
stopped running until he got down into
the swamp and couldn't go any further.
Then ne was captured.
Albers. who was defended by Max Sal
niger, said that he was employed in
Prigge's stoneyard. He went to dinner in
his mothers house in Tonnele avenue at
twelve o'clock. When he returned Fred
ersck Brown, foreman of the stoneyard.
sent him down to the tracks to get a few
pieces of soft coal for the purpose of
melting lead. Albers says that as he was
passing the car ne heard voices, and
thinking that some persons had been
locked in he opened the door in order to
release them. When he saw the revolyers
ran away. Foreman Brown corroborated
his testimony. The jury has the case.

OMITTED TO FINE HIM.
Judge H%udspeth Discovers Binder
nagle Escapsd Full Punish rnent,

Judge Hudspeth was greatly surprised
this morning to learn from Clerk Pur-
tells record book that he had not imposed
a fine of $500 on Freebooter Philip Bin
dernagle, in addition to the one years
imprisonment. The Judge had fully in
forgotten, because the Clerk had no rec
ord of it, n nobody who was in the
court room at the time remembers that
ne said anything about a fine. In fact,
1t was q matter of comment after the
court adjourned that Bindernagle had
been let off without a fine, while Mans
field. the other pool room keeper, was
fined $3.50.
Judge Hudspeth regrets very much
that he omitted to impose the fine. He
says that Bindernaglss was a more per-
sistent and defiant vwiolator of the law
than Mansfield; but he can do nothing
about it now; as the Court can only re-
consider a sentence for the purpose of
reducing the penalty.

Reaction From the Silver Craze In
One of It's SfronghoIds.
Special 10 the JerscD Cftu Neaps.

PENNINGTON, Oct. 5, 1S96.-There is
no mistaking the fact that the silver
craze is fast losing its ground in Hunter
don county, where at the outset of the
campaign it was supposed to be sweep
ing everything before it. Hunterdon
county is essentially an agricultural
county, in which the idea is prevalent
that the farmers will receive larger
prices for their surplus products under
unlimited coinage. The cause of free sill
yer was more particularly championed by
three classes
First, the old ~greenback element, which
had quite a footing during the time it
was in vogue
Second, the embryo statesman, who had
hopes of township Office, and deemed it
essentia to be regular"
Third, the farmers, who were honest
in the belief that free silver mea more
money and higher prices for their
products
The county has been literally flooded
with. speeches by Bourke Cochran, ex-
President Harrison, Speaker Reed and
john sherman, and a great deal of other
sound money literature, which, together
with the usual campaign oratory, has
educated the voter to a degree never be-
fore attempted
The vigorous campaign inaugurated by
Congressman Pftney has mad a marked
efIect. His opponent, August w. Cutler,
has been speaking in nearly every town
and namiet IN the county, and has a
considerable following among the farm
ers, who regard him as one of them. He
VIII undoubtedly run ahead of Bryan in
this county; but in all the towns and
business centres, like Pennington. Lam
bertyille, Frenchtown and Clinton a
considerable number of Democrats are
wearing Mckinley buttons and openly
advocating honest money.
The Republican OBJECTIONS are very
rev and seem to be confined to an oc-
casional farmer. In Pennington the
county seat, a list of fifty Democrats is
made up who avow their intention Of
there IS about the same percentage in the
other towns.

J~ailbfrd's Defense for Robbfng q
House on the RiII.

Henry Rohlf's house, No. 1884 Commune
paw venue was broken into on the night
of April % and robbed of a pair of opera
glasses, a marine glass and several ar
ticles of jewelry. The next Gay John
Ross, who was wanted by the Newark
police, was picked up in a saloon in First
street, Harrison, and a large portion of
the plumber from Mr.. Rohlf's house
found in his possession. Notwithstanding
the fact that the goods were found on
him and a jimmy also, and thai he has
served several terms in the p~enitentiary
and in State prison, Ross had the nerve
to stand trial. His only defence was that
he bought the goods from a strange man
and picked up the jimmy in a stoneyard.
The jury convicted him without leaving
their seats.

AMBITIOUS O0PPERS.


Command Training az Eicycfe Racers
The bicycle fever has taken a strong
hold in the Seventh precinct station house.
The men envious of Bicycle Policemen
Hertle and Clemenson are elambering
after fame and honor as bicycle riders.
The lighter members of Captain Cox's
command are not these who are seeking
notoriety on the wheel. On the contrary
it is the stou and very stout ones. who
are the more anxious to ride.
Although Patrolman Alonzo Crawford is
not built upon lines similar to the great
Zimmerman, or the famed Sanger and
Johnson, for all that he is sure he
could develop into a speedy rider had he
the opportunity offered.
Patrolman James Lennon Is also a rider
of no mean ability. So he says. But.

an athletic trainer of rare ability, has

his man is in the pink of condition and

training Crawford. His man, Teut says,

The trainers of the two men met yes
