A DENTISTS BUSINESS FOOT.

A suit of Charles L. Antwerp to recover
$4,000 frem Frederick w. Egler, a Ber-
gen avenue baker, is being tried in the
Supreme Court today before Justice Lip
pincott and a jury. On September q,
1895. Antwerp, who was then a dentist at
No. 146 Bergen avenue was crossing the
street at C-ommunipaw avenue. One OF
Egler's horses was standing there. As
the dentist was passing. the horse reared
up n when he came down again n OF
his hoofs was planted On Antwerp's foot.
He vas laid up for about six weeks, and
after that he discovered that he was
unable TO carry on his profession, his
foot being so sore that he could not work
his drilling machine. He was finally
Obliged to abandon his profession. His
doctors bill was $500, and he. has been
losing $50 a week ever since. The de-
Tense showed that the driver of the horse
was not responsible and that Antwerp's
estimate of his losses was altogether toe
high.
Warren Dixon appeared for the plaintiff
and w. d. Edwards for the defense.

HELD UP IN HOBoKEN.
Two Hfghwaymens Desperate ATT
feEnpt to Rob q DrIVcr.

A man was held up in true Dick Tur-
pin style early this morning in Hoboken.
The man is Herman Schwartz of Secau-
Gus. He was in a wagon, and it was only
by the use of a stout club which he car
ries for such emergencies and the speed
of his horse that he managed to escape
the highwaymen, who made a desperate
attempt to stop him and drag him from
his wagon. Schwartz is a swill man, and
he drives from Secaucus every morning
very early, crossing the Fourteenth street
ferry in Hoboken.
This morning about four o'clock he
drove down the Hillside road into Thir-
teenth street, near the gas house. This
spot is very dark and lonely, although
it is only a short distance from the thick
" populated upper portion of Hoboken.
AS the wagon neared the corner of
Clinton and Thirteenth streets two men
sprang from ar alley way, and made an
attempt to stop the horse and grab the
driver. Schwartz says the men were
masked and he thinks they were armed.
One of the footpads seized the horse by
the bride, while the other came to the
side of the wagon and tried to pull
Schwartz from the seat. Schwartz from
long experience in these early morning
rides had provided himself with a stout
ctub, Wnicn ne always Keeps under the
wagon seat. When he realized his danger
he reached down and grasped his club
and aid it over the head Of the mar who
was dragging him from the wagon. AT the
same time he bestowed several good
blows ON the horse which started to gall
lop off. The robber at the horses head
was dragged along while the other fellow
tried to Chamber into the wagon. Schwartz
laid about him right and left. not forget
ting to touch. the horse up once in a
while.
The would-be robbers soon found the
pace too hot for them and dropped off.
Schwartz turned the corner of Four
tenth street and galloped toward the
ferry for dear life. When he found he
was beyond pursuit he reported thehold-
up at the Second Precinct Station. Off
GERS Gebhardt, Kenny and Eckhardt were
sent out, and they searched Clinton and
Thirteenth streets for some time, but re-
ported they could find no one answering
the description Schwartz gave of the
h~ighwaymen. These hold-ups in upper
Hoboken are becoming frequent.

TIpsy Young Mans Joke the subject
Of a Prosecution.

Alfred Freese, of No. 1877 East Thirty
ninth street, New York, came to this city
on August 10 and INDUCED in a joke which

long time, and they celebrated the meet
ing by having several drinks. Then
Bayers invited Freese to come over to
this city and have dinner. On reaching
here, they had some more drinks. Freese
who is a highly respectable looking young
man. had told, Bayers that a friend of his
who was away On his vacation had lent
MIN his bicycle and that he had learned
70 ride. Bayers doubted this statement.
They stopped into Doyle's saloon at
Montgomery and Van Worst street and
had another drink, By tbs time they
emerged from the sid door on Van
Worst street they saw a bicycle leaning
up against the side of the building.
There's a wheel now" said Bayers,
and III bet you q dollar you can't ride
II fifty feet"
"Tn go you," said Freese, and trundling
the wheel out into the street, he mounted
il and started off. At the same time
George S. Martin, of No. 1853 Coles street.
the owner of the wheel, was standing on
the corner negotiating with a LETTER car
r,ers who talked of buying it,.
There goes your wheel now said the
letter carrier. as Freese started off with
1t. Martin started after Freese and over
took him at the corner of York street
Freese explained that 1t was only a Joke.
but Martin turned him over to Policeman
O'Donnell, who happened to the tiiere. AS
a result of the joke, Freese was locked
up until he procured bail, appeared for
examination the next morning and was
bailed ITO await the action Of the Grand
Jury. The Grand Jury indicted him. and
today he YVES on trial with Senator Daily.
an expensive lawyer, defending him.

HNJOINING THE BANK.
Howard Institution Must Not
Pay Out sutton's
Savings.

V-ice-Chancellor Stevens granted a pre-
liminary Injunction this morning in Chan
Gerry Chambers in a peculiar case. Some
months ago the Consolidated Traction
Company discovered thai some of its
motormen and conductors were in d con-
spiracy to cheat the company. Investiga-
tons Were at once began n ii was
found that on the Newark and Jersey
City line somebody was turning in
punched tickets a second and third time
as cash. This could De only effected
through the c~onnivance of Others than
the conductor. Finally one conductor,
Frederick Sutton, of Newark, was sus-
pected and charged with fraud. He was
discharged from the company's employ
and arrested in Jersey City on Septem-
Der 4 on a charge of embezzlement pre-
ferred by Edward j. Hills, auditor of
the company. Sutton was arraigned be-
fore Justice Potts, and at the request of
the Chief of Police, was remanded for ex-
animation. The prisoners, bail was fixed
at $500. On the following day Sutton
was again brought into court and counsel
for the auditor told the Court that the
prisoner and others had secured the
made by the punch with pulp and then
turned them into the ompa as Iegi-
mate fares. These punched tickets they
had secured in some way from the Office
where they were stored away. On the
statement of counse the prisoners lawyer
decided to waive any reply and Sutton
was committed for the Hudson County
Grand Jury.
1t came to the ears of the. Consolidated
Traction Company that Sutton had
boosted that he had more than a thous-
and dollars in a savings bank which she
had saved from his wages Ar inves-
tigation was made, and the company
found nearly s1,400 TO Sutton,s credit in
the Howard Savings Institution in New
ark.
Counsellor Max T. Rosenberg at once
applied to Chancellor McGEl for an order
to show cause why the bank should not
be restrained from paying out that money.
The order was made returnab1e this
morning when Vice Chancellor Stevens
heard Mr.. Rosenherg's arguments for a
preliminary injunction. Sutton was not
represented. Mr.. Rosenberg stated the
facts already mentioned and told the
Court that the money deposited in the
bank was the property stolen from the
company.
The Vice Chancellor granted the m
junction.
