MARKS ON A BOYS neck
James MeGee Accused Of Try
ing to Strangle His
Twelve Year Old
Son.

Mrs. Muesmer, who keeps a. boarding
house at No. 219 Bloomfield street, Hobo
ken, called upon Recorder McDonough
this morning and asked for aSwarrant for
James McGee. one Of the boafders. McGee,
she alleged, on Saturday night tried to
strangle his young son, James, Jr., 12
years old. There were marks of the fa-
thers fingers on the boys throat and the
back of his neck
The little boy told the following story
My father has been cruel to me for some
time. On Saturday night, he told me to
go to bed early, so l went to bed about
eight o'clock. At midnight / was
awakened by my father coming into the
room; but being tired l soon fell asleep
again. Early Sunday morning. ] was
awakened by my fathers fingers grasp
ing me by the throat. l could not scream
as he clutched my throat SO tightly that
felt my tongue coming out between my
teeth. Then l wrenched myself free. I
ran into Mrs. Muesmer's room and stayed
there until daylight
Immediately after, the people in the
house heard McGee run down stairs and
he has not been seen since.
Mrs. Muesmer told the Recorder that
she would like to keep the boy but she
is afraid that the father win return and
kill him. She asked the Recorder If he
would send the boy to some institution
for time. McDonough said he would
send the child to an institution in Ar
lington.
The police are looking for the father.

SHOT In A MELEE.
SHOT In A MELEE.
Italians Resent Threats by other
Work men In Trenton.
Special to the Jsrseu Citu Nc;Iss

TRENTON, Dec. g. 1S96.-William Len
OK was shot in the right arm and an
unknown man in the side and arm by
an italian named Beline Salvador dur
ing pitched battle this morning between
q body of Italians and several hundred
men of other nationalties, whose hatred
the Italians had incurred by trying to
obtain work on the new reservoir now
in course of construction on the out
skirts of this city.
The row which eliminated in the
shooting of the two men mentioned has
been brewing for the past few days. Yes
terday a crowd of Italians. who had as
sembled in the. vicinity of the excava-
tions that are being made for the res
ervoir, were driven away by the other
men. The Italians then made threats
against the lives of their prosecutors
This morning the Italians assembled in
the vicinity of the excavations in even
larger numbers than on any previous oc-
casion. They were very demonstrative
and threatened dire vengeance unless they
were given employment in proportion to
alities. The threats on the part of the
Italians angered the other men and a free
fight ensued. When the melee was at its
height Salvador pulled a huge six shooter
and blazed away indiscriminately Be-
sides the two men who were shot num-
ber of others received injuries more or
less serious by being struck by flying
missiles
The police and Sheriff have been sum
moned to the scene. Salvador has been
arrested
Sheriff Ashmore upon his arrival read
the riot act to the mob and the disorder
came to end. The wounded men, it
is thought are not fatally injured. The
arrested Italian was cut in the head.

Catholic Church Takes Fire and
Two Firemen Were Found

Special to the Jersey Citu Ns,cs.

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 2, 1896.-St. Mon
ieas Catholic Church, Situated 10 the low
er section of the city known as Chelsea,
was burned to the ground this morning
between eight and ten O'Clock. When the
building collapsed there were several fire.

debris. two of whom were killed. They

thin vapor of smoke began to spread
through the church. The priest at first
thought nothing Of it until the smoke
rapidly began to thicken. This aroused
boys TO notify the sexton to investigate
the cause. The boy had barely disap-
peared in the sacristy when a sheet Of

that the building was on fire Father Pc

of the fire and turned in an alarm, which
was followed Immediately by a second
alarm. The entire department of the
city responded and the first engines were
on the ground when the priest and WOr-
shippers were emerging from the build
ing.
There was fair breeze blowing and
the church being entirely constructed Of
frame was an easy prey to the flames.
The fire burned with a derceness that
made ii dangerous and difficult for the
fireuen to work near it. 1t was but a
short time after the arrival of the en-
gfnes that Firemen William Dougherty
and Thomas Lennig entered the building
with line of hose. Chief Engineer
Whippey. who was directing the firemen,
seeing that the building was fast sue
cumming and that it would collapse at
any moment ordered that all firemen re-
tire from the building, but Dougherty
and Lennig failed to obey the order
1t was the tall steeple around which the
flames had been burning from the start
that caused the fatalities. Its fall shook
the whole building, and the two firemen
were buried in the debris. Several streams
Of water were played on the spot where
they We're known to have been and every
effort was made by their comrades to res

men were recovered. They had been
caught by the heavy tiInbers and not un-
likely We're alive until they were burned
to death.
The church was built in 1885. Its orig
inal cost. without the ground was $780,
600, but more has been expended upon it
since. The insurance amounts to s12,-

NO WATER CONTRACT AWARDED
1t Is Said Majority and Minority Re
ports Are Refng Prepared.

The Street and Water Commissioners
met again this morning, but contrary to
expectations took no action on the water
question. The subject was not discussed
The Board has until next Monday in
which to accept or reject the propositions
now before it. The Republican members
want to dispose OF the problem, but they
want to get the Democratic members to
vote with them, if possible. Messrs
Heintze and Boltwood say they will not
vote for the award of a permanent supply
contract under any circumstances, giving
as their reason that they were elected
to the Board on a platform which on
posed the making of such a contract.
rms morning Messrs. Heintze and
Boltwood endeavored to force a meeting
of the Committee of the Whole in order
the Republican members to act one way
or the other today. The majority would
not consent to such a meeting.
1t is said that the Republican men,
the waters question, which will be pre-
sented in open meeting when the CON
tract is awarded. The Democrats will
file minority report
1t will probably be an interesting docu
ment, as it is being prepared by a gentle
man who is well posted on the water
question.
The Board is to meet again tomorrow
an award will probably be made.
Mayor Wanser refuses to discuss the
subject. He will act, he says, for what
he considers the best interests of the
officially.
Very little interest seems to be taken
in the proposed action of the Street and
Water Board; as no property owners
meetings at which it was thought CON
tract might be awarded.

ARE HHE Bids SEALED? !?
Why the Grand Jury Has Had
officials Of the Board Of
Freeholders Before 1t.

The fact that John Boyd, of the Board
OF Freeholders, and Andrew j. Manning.
Storekeeper at Snake Hill, have been be-
fore the Grand Jury twice In the course
of week has given rise to cons.dera BILE
comment, and there have been many sur
prises as to why the officials had been
summoned before the Grand Inquest.
Some guessed that officers of the Board
of Freeholders were being investigated,
and that indictment or at least present.
ment would follow.
The fact has leaked out that the Grand
Jury has been engaged in an invest:ga-
ton of the manner in which bids for
county supplies have been advertised for
and contracts awarded. 1t has been al
legged that the Freeholders have been per
mitting favored contractors to scale their
bids.
The method is simple but effective. A
contractor puts in bid on line of sup
plies. The exact quantity of any part:cu-
lar article that the contractor may be re-
quired to furnish is never specified. The
specifications call for about So ni,ch Of
any article and the bidder takes the
chance of beng obliged to furnish a
greater or less supply according as the
needs of the county institutions may re-
quire.
Take drugs for example The specifca-
tions call for various kinds of drugs.
some of which are cheap and others high
priced: The bidder, who is in on the
ground floor, puts in low pricessfor the
high priced drugs and high prices for the
cheap ones. This enables him to make
his total bid smaller than that of the bid
der who puts in fair prices for all the ar
ticles designated in the specifications.
Then it happens so it is alleged that d1lr
ing the continuation of his contract large
quantities of the cheap drugs are ordered
and small quantities or perhaps none at
all Of the high priced drugs for which he
is said to prevail with other supplies.
The Grand Jury is under the impression
that this cannot be done without COLLISION
and so they are investigating. 1t is doubt
full if anything will come of ii, for while
coilusion might be suspected it would Be
very difficult to prove z
