BABY PROBABLY MURDERED.
Man Witnessed the Deed Committed,
But Said Nothing About 1t.

PATTERSON. Aug. :, 1885, The Pater-
son police are at present working on
what may turn out to be a case of in
fantieide, which is supposed to have oc-
Cured about two weeks ago. but which
was not reported until Saturday. John
Anger, a mechanic. living on New
street, was in front of his home with a
lantern two weeks ago. Friday when a
man driving a spirited horse went by
and came to an abrupt halt by the Dom
nelly lane, 40 yards away. Shortly after
Anger heard the cry of a child coming
from that direction and started for the
place. When the man saw him he sprang
into his buggy and drove off. Anglers
lantern Went out and he was unable to
search the vicinity.
Mrs. William Gibbons was picking
berries near the pace the next morning.
when she came across a tub covered with
a Wonlaa,G clothes and a mans coat.
She raised these and ran off screaming
to Anglers home and said that a dis
membered human body was in the tub.
On later search the tub was found to
contain flesh, mangled beyond recogni-
ton. and later on the mans coat was
found missing.
No one Went near the tub after that
until h police heard of the affair and
went to investigate. The flesh was al
most gone. but the bones were gathered
up and will be carefully examined.

Considerable amusement was afforded
a large number of people on EXTRA ave-
nue. last night between nine and Ten
O'Clock b the continued ringing of an
electric bell.
Schwartz, the tailor. at No. 3S Central
avenue. had , new electric burglar alarm
recently attached 10 the front door of his
store just on the outside. The bell began
ringing last night about nine O'clock and
kept it up for over an hour. A large
crowd gathered in front Of the store, and
a couple OF policemen were kept busy
keeping the sidewalk clear.
Schwartz did not know what was the
matter with the bell, and after trying for
q long time TO locate the trouble. CAV il
up in disgust and came to the conclusion
that it was invested with spirits.
As a last resort the police riade him cut
the wire Which connected the bell to the
one on the door. which led to the other
wires attached to the windows through
out the house. As soon IS the wire was
cut the bell stopped ringing. The wires

Exciting Experience on a Green

Picnic Party.

lance" Davis. of No. 125 Jackson ave
nue.. was arrested Saturday night by
Patrolman Routh, Of the Fifth precinct.
who was summoned by Conductor James
kunlken, of car No. 80, Of the Bayonne
line, to stop a disturbance which was in
progress on his car.
The conductors Of the Bayonne line have
a hard time with rowdies, both male and
female. on their cars every night from
eleven O'clock until about TWO in the
morning. Large crowds return from the
resorts bordering the shores and from the
picnics held in the various parks along
the route. Saturday night particularly.
the cars are the scene Of many rows, dis
turhanees and miniature riots.
The picnics are not allowed to continue
after twelve o'clock Saturday night, and
the immens throngs leave the parks in
q body. All naturally make a rush for
the first car and crowd it beyond its ca
pacity. giving toughs an opportunity to
display their talents" The conductors
lave great trouble in obtaining their fares
and the signal bell is rung continually,
leaving the metornnan in a quandary
where to stop the car. The trolley pole
is often pulled from the wire, and boots
and screams arise ard insulting remarks
are often uttered. Respectable men with
their wives have on various occasions OBJ
jected to these actions, but were only in
suited and ieered in a great measure.
A large crowd waited for the car al
Sea View avenue. fer a picnic which was
ED at the Greenville schuetzen Park
Saturday night. and car No. So. in charge
OF Conductor KuhIken. was the first to
come along. The crowd thronged the car
from all sides-some chung on the rear
bumper others clambered on the roof.
The objections of the conductor were
ul1eedeq- When the fares We're being
eollect e some one pulled the trolley pole
ness. Hats We're broken. curses uttered
and a small riot arose.
Wsnen the trolley was readjusted, the
their positions ard everybody whom ne
asked for mis- fare claimed thai he had
paid it before.
Davis. whe was che Of these, got ex-
Zeal OF disturbance. George Kelly, a
nlotornan on the road, was on the car on
bis way home and Corrected Davis for
ragged ard struck Kelly and kicked him in
the stomach. Then a free fight ensued.
Hats were smashed and faces ~blaekened.
Inc car went or until Ii reached the
Fifth precinct station house, and some
officers were summoned.
The appearance OF the officers put an
end to the disgraceful scene. Kelly had
DAVIS arrested. Many of the woman pas

the row.

OF the Pace Macs the case was postponed

of Democrats in New Jersey who stand
upon similar ground. TIL great danger,
then. TO a sound money victory is the fear
that such men as ex-Congressman Horr
may be permitted to make the tariff ques-
ton theAburden Of the campaign.
The New Jersey gold Democracy is di-
yidea in opinion as to the wisdom Of plac-
ing q third ticket in the field. Some Demo-
Gratis believe that il would weaken the
Republican cause, while others are of the
votes from Bryan and Sewall. Secretary
of State Kelsey says he would vote for
the third ticket, provided it contained
the names OF sterling Sound Money Dem
ocraFs. The solid business men of the
Democratic party are mostly for McKin-
ley and Hobart, and it is doubtful If they
could be Weaned away by the allurement
of a third ticket. They stand in fear and
dread of the silver heresy, knowing full
well that their business would be ruined
If that doctrine prevailed, and in order
to make things doubIy sure they intend
voting the Republican ticket. As to the
regular Democracy. which is
under the wing cf the professional politi-
Clans, there is no doubt of its Endorsement
OF Bryan and Sewall. The met who run
the machine are shouting for silver, and
since the action of Taqmnrany Hall In IA
.vor of the candidates of the Chicago Con
vention they are encouraged to go ahead
and do likewise.
John Kean had a flag raising on Friday
light. David Baird, of Camden. selected
him a large fagpole and Mr.. Kean had
an up-to-date flag made, which he un-
furled to the breezes in the presence Of
his good ~neighbors. The pole has a con-
spieuous place on the lawn at tJrsino.s'
which is the name of John Kean,s old
homestead. Speeches were made. the
band played. the neighboTs shouted and
Mr.. Kean offered a good cheer. Ex-As-
senblyman Adolph Ernst of Ocean
County recently had a hagpole raised on
his private grounds at Toms River, so
that private ~Hagpoles are getting to be
the proper thing this year.
The Soesalist-Labor party has decided
against money, tariff and kindred issues
as political issues, and proposes to make
their fight this year on a strict adherence
to she party issue-and that - the rail-
road and telegraph lines should be owned
by the people. They should control the
saloons and in fact all things which give
men large profits should be operated for
the general masses. The Soeialistic-Labor
party poll less than 5000 votes. Their can
didate for Vice-President is Alderman
of Peterson. now in Europe at
tending the International convention Of
Socialists. He is the only man in the
States who has ever been elected
to a municipal office on a Socialist ticket.
The fact that the national candidate lives
in New Jarsey is not expected to make
much difference in the vote.
