SERIOUS OFFENsE.
Henry Zimmerman and Henry Martin Sny-
der Think They Can Do Up the Off
GERS, and Proceed Wish the
Attempt.


Attempt.
Two fellows are over in Jail with seri-
GUS charge hanging over them, and the
chances are that they may take trip to
Trenton some time, in company with the
Sheriff.
There had been racket down on Grove
street, in the early hours of Sunday
morning, and officers Smith and Betch
ner had made arrests.
Henry Zimmerman, well known as
"Zimmo" was in the crowd, and later in
the day officers Woodruff and Garrison
were given a warrant for his arrest.
The policemen visited the house of
Henry Martin Snyder, on Grove street,
and made search of the residence, but
could not find the man. officer Garrison
finally located the fellow in an out build
ing and took him in charge.
AS soon as he was arrested he showed
fight, but probably would not have
played the tricks he did had he not been
urged by Snyder to resist.
While lying on the ground Zimmer-
man, at the suggestion of Snyder, pulled
up both his feet and kicked Officer Wood
ruff in the stomach, making him deathly
sick. This seemed to please Snyder and
he applauded Zimmerman's action and
called out to kill the s.. Then Zim-
merman and Garrison had terrible
struggle, and Woodruff placed Snyder
under arrest. From that time there was
serious struggle, and Officer Garrison
had his clothing badly torn. The cloth
ing of Snyder was nearly torn off. Finally
the two ruffians were locked up.
Officer Woodruff suffered greatly and
Mayor Appellate secured for him some
medicine, and he pluckily remained on
duty all day.
On Monday there was quite matinee
at the city hall. AS curtain riser three
drinks were disposed of.
Clarence Randolph pleaded guilty to
being drunk and disorderly, and the fine
and costs imposed upon him amounted to
$7.20. His mother was present and
started out to get the money.
Harry Bowen pleaded guilty to drunk
were paid by his brother.
William Harrison was also sure of be-
ing drunk, and had the necessary $500 to
pay for his liberty.
Then Zimmerman was brought in. He
was informed that there was charge of
drunkenness against him, and the man
ner in which he pleaded guilty indicated
that he thought he was getting off luckily.
He said he would give an order for the
money on the Cohansey Glass Company.
Then the Mayor informed him that
there was a charge against him of assault
ing an officer, and he looked miserable.
He said he did not remember anything
about it, and wanted hearing. He will
be accommodated later.
Snyder was charged with assaulting an
officer, and said he supposed he was
guilty. He declared his inability to
furnish bail, and in consequences will
remain in Jail until court time.

ganization of the Poor board Will
Take Place This Afternoon.

Acting Chairman ID. w. Vaughan. of
the Democratic city committee, yes
terday issued call for meeting of the
Democratic city committee in the st.
Charles hotel at 80 p. m., next We'd
nesday evening. Mr.. Vaughan said
last evening that no formal notice had
been served on him to call the commit
tee together but that II seemed to be the
general sentiment among the members
of the party that the time had come
to decide when the city convention
should be held and In Difference to that
sentiment he had issued the call. The
matter vi selecting dates for the pri-
maries and convention was entirely for
the committee to pass upon and he was
not prepared to say what their choice
would be. The general impression is
that the convention will be held at an
early day. Up 10 the present time no
pronounced Democratic candidates have
appeared in the field. Several well
known men Of that political faith are
allowing without great protest the use
OF their names in connection with the
offices of mayor controller and treas
urer, but before deciding whether or
not they will declare themselves as
candidates they are anxious to know
what Tuesdays Republican conventio ion
w
ticket is decided upon the Democratic
slate makers will go to work. Last
night some of the most prominent of the
Democratic local leaders declared that
no attempt at arranging a slate had
been made as yet.
Tomorrow afternoon between the
hours OF and p. IN. the Republican
primaries to cleo delegates to the city
convention will be held. A lively inter-
est In the selection of delegates Is shown

polled. Thu convention will be called to
order at 2.3O Tuesday afternoon next in
Music Hall and the delegates will Then
proceed to nominate one person for the
office of mayor, one for the office Of con-
troller, one fl the office of treasurer, and
three persons for city assessors.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock the Poor
