SORT 0F HoBoKEN ARREST.
Two Men Locked UP md Now the
Policeman Is in Trouble.

Policeman Mclaughlin of West Hoboken
was arrested yesterday by a constable
from Justice Seymour's Office in Hoboken,
on a charge of illegally arresting two
Jersey City men. The complainant was
Constable Weller of Hoboken, who says
he viii bring charges against Mclaughlin
before the West Hoboken police authors
ties. The case is strangely mixed up
with the Water Cure S~anttariuna Oh
Palisade avenue, West Hoboken.
Last Saturday when DR.. Meyer was
placed in charge of the Sanitarium by
the Sanitarium Company, he hired Michael
Gafney of Jersey avenue and Colgate
street, and Steve Carney of Montgomery
First streets. to move furniture from
one of the upper rooms down stairs. The
day was cold and DR.. Meyer bought a
pint of beer for the men. Mclaughlin
saw the men and for some reason thought
he ought to arrest them. On Sunday ne
went to Jersey City and did SO. He had
the men then locked up, first on a drunk
and disorderly charge, burt later as sus-
picious persons. Carney n CARNEY
when released, went to Lawyer Weller,
and on their testimony Mclaughlin was
arrested in turn for making an Illegal
arrest. !.
Sergeant Usher of West Hoboken went
on McLaughlin's bonds. Counsellor Wei
lor says he will press the case against
Mclaughlin to the bitter end. Carney
and Gaffney were discharged at once by
Recorder Lederle of West Hoboken
he heard their story on Monday.

THE LAWS THAT GOVERN US.
Judges Douglass and blair VIII
Hasten Their Compilation.

In esponse to a resolution passed by the
Finance Commissioners at their last meet
ing, Judge William Douglass was on hand
last night to inform the members of that
Beard what he has done about the COM
pilation of all laws relating to the govern
ment of Jersey City which was authorized
several years ago.
In the absence of President Brautigam
last night, Mr.. Simpson acted as chair
man of the Board.
The Judge reported that the work was
finished and ready for the printer. He
also stated that the work had been
brought down a couple of years later than
was originally intended.
How much will you charge for your
seryices?" asked Chairman Simpson.
The judge and members of the Board
smiled. The judge continued to smile, as
he answered in his usual reserved man
ner, 81 don't know"
surprised. That the members of the Board
were astonished was apparent by the ex-
pressions on their respective faces.
The idea of q lawyer being too bashful
to announce what his fee would be seemed
to amuse and at the same time confuse
the members of the Board.
Judge Douglass and Corporation Coun-
sci Blair will finish the work together. 1t
was also agreed that the Board of FL
nance shal fix the compensation of Judge
Douglass. On his subject the Corpora-
tion Counsel will give valuable assistance
in making up Judge Douglass mind.

AN EMBEZZLER CAUGHT.
Charles s;aIgbt Found Hiding Near
POughkeepsfe.

Charles Slaight, Al years old, of No. 400
Grove street, was arrested in Poughkeep-
sic this morning by Detective Doyle of
this city. Slaight was accused of the
embezzlement of $50 from William Hell
deck, an expressman of No. 512 Jersey
avenue, by whom he was employed.
Slaight collected the money on a c.. o. d.
package on November 4 and decamped.
Two hours later his employer was in
formed that he had committed suicide be-
cause of family troubles. Hospitals and
morgues in this and ~neighboring cities
were visited but no trace of the missing
Siaight could be found.
He.deck finally informed the police of
the case and told Chief Murphy that he
believed Slaight had ended his life. The
Chief did not believe the suicide story.
and at once assigned Detectives DOYLE
and Dalton to the case. Within twenty-
four hours they ascertained that the
suicide story had been manufactured
and apparently for the purpose of giving
Slaight an opportunity to escape.
Two days ago they procured positive
information tina Slaight was alive and
well and was in hiding at Arlington a
little suburb of P~oughkeepsie, and was
receiving mail there. Detective Doyle
went to Arlington while Detective Dalton
sent a decoy letter to Siaight. This morn
ing when Slaight called for his maa DOYLE
nabbed him. He will be brought to this
city for trial.

F"REBHOLDBRS' CLAIMS.
Big Batch Passed Yesterday
Capable Matrons
Endorsed.

Mrs. Edith Cook, president of the Hud-
son County branch of the State Charities
Association, wrote to the Board of Free
holders yesterday afternoon submitting a
resolution adopted by the branch. The
resolution strongly urges the retention of
Mrs. Brady as matron of the Lunatic
Asylum and Mrs. Ryan as matron of the
Almshouse, because Of their efficiency
and the very able manner in which they
have managed the affairs of those insti-
tutions which came under their charge.
Freebooter Green desired to nave the
communication filed. but on motion of
Freebooter Riordan it was referred to the
incoming Board.
The reports from the county institutions
for November were received as follows:-
In the Almshouse there were 701 in
mates and "A employees. The total cost
of their maintenance was s4,8S4.36; average
cost 1913 SO.
Asylum-Inmates, 400; total cost, 81, ss7;
average cost, 1895.
observation-disclosures, 216; employees, "a;
total cost, S~,24S.39; average cost, $16.99 BIO.
The Committee on Finance presented a
batch of claims for the services of inspec-
tors on the Boulevard loop for November
with a recommendation that they be paid.
Freebooter Eichhorn claimed that the
resolution was out of order and read a
section of the rules which provides that
all claims for work done and materials
furnished must be submitted to the Com
mittee on Finance and Audit. Free
holder Riordan informed his colleague
that the on Finance and Audit
had approved of the claims and they were
passed.
Another batch of claims for salaries of
inspectors on the Boulevard sidewalk was
presented and Mr.. Eichhorn again OBJ
1eeted. He said that some of the inspec-
and he moved that the claims be taken
up separately.
Freeholder Riordan said that previous
CLAIMS had been paid and that was a
appointments He moved tina the claims
be taken up collectively. After a little
Ut on a question of parliamentary law
the claims were ordered paid.
The next batch OF claims was for the
salaries Of inspectors on the branch road.
~treeholder Dayton asked to be excused
from voting as he was not a member of
the Board when the claims were con-
traeted. Director Mentally refused to ex-
cuse him and insisted that he must vote.
freeholder Dayton appealed to the Board.
~Freeholder Piercy said that Mr.. DAYTON
was sent there to vote and he ought to
vote, but Notwithstanding this sapient
opinion Mr.. Dayton was excused. More
salary claims for inspectors on the branch
Q were presented, n Mr.. Eichhorn
objected because the name of Michael
Dewitt Is on the list and he is dead. Free
holder Riordan explained that the claim
was for work done in April before Dewitt
died. The claims were paid.
The $4,000 of bridge bonds were award
ed to the Sinking Fund Commission at
s107.15. The Board will hold it's final meet
ing tomorrow morning.

SHE'D Housewife HIM AGAIN.
Sc Said Miss Larkins Afer She Had
Been Arrafgned for Assault.

Miss Kitty Larkins, of No. AIS Union
street, Mo Hill, who SO thoroughly
horse-whipped James Capp, an officer of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, in the street, Tuesday night,
was arrested last evening on a warrant,
charging her with assault and battery
on Capp. Miss Larkins was taken before
Recorder Shelton and committed to jail
for about five minutes in default of 500
bail.
She refused to accept several offers of
bail, made by sympathizers in the court
room, stating that she preferred to re-
main in jail until the Grand Jury inyes-
tigated the case. Miss Larkins appeared
in court last night dressed in black, while
a smile was on her face when her gaze
fell on Capp. Brought to the bar and
asked by the Judge If she was guilty of
the charge, as stated in the complaint,
she answered:-"Yes, I'm guiItx. He
~slandered both myself and my sister. I
hersewhipped him and did it Intentional
~. If it is a crime to defend my own
and my sisters honor against a fellow
like him, then / am guilty of assault.
The big, cowardly fellow is not worth
whipping, anyway"
Judge Shelton informed Miss Larkins
that, aside from the p~rovocation that she
might hav had, the law allowed him no
discretion but to hold her for the Grand
Jury. Miss Kitty lost her smile when in
formed of this decision, and the crowd in
the court room were amazed, and several
began to hiss Capp roundly. The Judge
put a stop to this. and about half the
crowd present started put to find bail.
Numerous offers were made to furnish
the desired amount, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Hoffman, of Liberty street, finally quail
fed, and Miss Larkins was released.
Capp was followed by a crowd Of men
and boys when ne left the court room,
and hooted through the streets. Miss
Kitty's return home was a triumph, and
fered their congratulations. Capp, who
prides himself on being clever with his
fists, was the butt If every street gamin,
and he was foIlowed about by several
who cried, Hey, here's the man that
thinks he can fight. Had to have a wom-
an arrested for whipping him"
Miss Kitty told the Judge when released
tina she would repeat the whipping if oc-
eaSion demanded If

Find Mercy from Judge H~udspeth.
John Schmitler, who was convicted of
assault and battery on his wife. Maria,
was called up in the Sessions Court yes
terday afternoon to be sentenced. Judge
Hudspeth asked him why he struck his
wife. Schmitler said he was angry be-
cause his wife had refused to do some
thing he told her to do. and he gave her
a slap in the face. Mrs. Schmitler and
her son, about eight years old, were in
court. She made a fearful appeal for
her husband. and the boy began to cry.
The flood of tears influenced the Court
to suspend sentence and direct the Free
holders to pay the costs. Schmftler pick
ed the boy up in his arms and kissed
him, and when the discharge papers were
made out the family left the court room
in a happy frame of mind.
Henry Berg, who was convicted of as
sault and battery, was called for SEN
tence, but failed to respond. His bonds
were forfeited. and Judge Hudspeth or
dered the clerk to issue a capiaS for him.
The Judge said if people had an idea that
they could escape punishment by permit
ting the bonds to be forfeited the Court
would e~ndeayor to disabuse their minds
of that Idea. He wants Berg picked up
wherever he may be found.
George Wayler, who was convicted of
assault and battery on his Sister-in-law,
Sarah Wayler. was sentenced to the
County Jail for five days. The punish
ment would have been more severe but
that his sister-in-law interceded for him.

agent. who was convicted of obtaining
SO under false p%retences from Manager
ing Machine Agency. was brought over
from the County Jail and discharged. He
was unable to pay the costs.

1t is often said by persons who are not
well enough acquainted with the science
of ornithology to know whether they
speak the truth or not. that the bones of
the turkey vulture are hollow air cham
bers, so constructed as to admit Of con
tinuous fight with but slight effort on
the part of the bird. OF late years it has
become the general belief that the bones
of almost all varieties of birds are simply
air cylinders, and that the 1ordly turkey
vulture and the condor are not better pro-
vided for in that particular than a host
of smaller birds. In order to get some
scientific light on the subject. DIR. Crisp
dissected ffty-two species of birds, great
and small, but only found thirteen in
which the wing bones were hollow, and
only one, the sparrow hawk. appeared to
