PERsoEATBD A DETECTIVE
Seaman Loses EEfs Roll in a Hudson
Street Hotel.

The most important case in the First
District Police Court today was that Of
John Egan, a sailor of Philadelphia, who
was arrested last evening by Policeman
Bennett, of the First precinct, on the
charge of p~ersonating a detective.
Robert Logan, the complainant, testi-
fed that he is an officer on the steamship
Ohio, of the American Line, lying at the
foot of Grand street. On last Sunday
son street, where he had prom
ised TO wait for two of his shipmates,
and telling this to the bartender, was
shown into a back room. He had TWO
drinks, and then remembered nothing
more until about 1890 O'clock, when he
awoke and left, He then found that he
was minus Sl27, which he had when he
entered the place.
The following day he returned to the
hotel, when the. proprietor. he alleges,
asked him il he would not ray S25 TO
get the either back, and to come in again
that night and he would try and get it
for him..
Logan then returned to his ship with
Shipmate Peter Mcdonald, and were fol-
on the shoulder, told him he had heard
of the robbery, and that he was . detec-l
tive from Police Headquarters, and had
the case in charge. He went with him
aboard the ship and slept in his berth
all night. saying that he had seen one
of the Stewards flashing a roll of bills,
ana he DeileNeu ne nad the stolen money,
and it was necessary for him TO remain
there to watch him..
The next morning the pseudo detective
told Logan that in his hurry to get on
the case he had left Headquarters with
out getting any money, and he having de-
cided to make an arrest in the case
it was necessary for him to have
money to get a warrant, and would
like Logan to let him have a dollar, or,
if possible. two dollars, for that purpose.
Logan gave him one dollar and he de-
parted; but no arrest was made.
Yesterday Logan and Mcdonald in
formed Chief of Police Murphy of what
occurred, when he told them If they
came across Egan anywhere TO can upon
a policeman to arrest him. Last evening
they saw him on York street, and caused
his arrest.
Egan entered the plea that at the time
he was under the Influence of liquor and
did not know what he did
John Mcdonald and Charles Dixon cor
roborated Logan's statement in regard to
Egan representing himself to be a detee-
tive.
The charge against Egan of pe~rsonating
a detective was changed TO obtaining
none under false pretenees. and on that
he was held for the Grand Jury.

It is unnecessary to expatiate upon the
meaning Of this table of figures. Any
one can see for himself what it indi-
Gates. The figures for his year, of
course, are not final official returns, but
the Indications are that changes Will
rather favor than injure the Republican
side.
In all the silver talk of the last month,
it has been claimed that the same move
ment was in progress in Vermont as else
where in respect to the currency ques-
tion. We were assured that the farmers
were coming out in legions for free sill
yer. Now, we see just what there is in
such claims. This contest was waged
entirely on the National issues. The
Democratic candidate for Governor is
himself a believer in gold; but he be-
longs to that miserable class of rene
gades to their own c-onsciences-of whom
we have so many in this State. unhap-
pily.-who accept Bryan and Sewall and
the Chicago platform, although con-
WINGED if its iniquity. This trimming can
dldate went about the State shouting
Bryan n sewall. He made the issue
himself, and the Republican candidate
met him fairly and squarely.
The result in Vermont is premonitory
of may be expected all over the
country The spread of the silver idea
is a lie. Neither the farmers nor the
w~orkingmen are caught by it as a class.
A certain number of Democrats have
taken it W out of a misguided sense Of
party fidelity. and they are making a
great deal Of noise. This is all there is
of the Bryan boom.

The young ladies supported the Vice

all threatened their designations.
The club in the past has experienced
no little success. Mr.. William Pest was

The Lebigh Valley Grade Crossing
In Lafayetfe.

Behind Mayor wanser's reasons for
Fetoing the Lehigh Valley grade crossing
On Lafayette. there appears the well de-
veloped idea in the Mayors mind that
the crossing is a public necessity, that
it ought to be allowed and that sooner or
later it must be allowed There is no rea-
son whatever. except what is created by
the Imagination Of newspaper fakirs. why
it should not be allowed. There is every
broad consideration of public policy in its
favor. If the avenue to be crossed were
a travelled one in the heart of the city,
1t may be said that no engineering exig-
ency would justify a grade crossing, but
away off in that lonely corner of Lafay-
cite it is as little likely to cause danger
as it you'd be in the smallest rural VIII
lage. The arguments in its favor are all
founded in the general good to the whole
country Of permitting great enterprises
TO be realized in an economical and con-
venient way, Instead of throwing STUN
bling blocks in their way for the gratiaca-
zion Of local s%eE1shness or newspaper SEN
sationaIism.
There is, perhaps. Just one way Of
avoiding a grade crossing in this place,
or rather Of obviating the objections to
it. It is by constructing a bridge over
the track. the width Of the street, similar

This is a good thing If these fellows
must have another lesson, there could not
be a more convenient year in which to
administer it. The silver movement must
be crushed and their connection with it
is an additional incentive to crush it. The
bad men n the bad cause can be kicked
