The little side.wheel excursion : aamhoat Paul
Koch started down the bay from the Battery
at $50 o'clock yesterday morning with a---t
200 persons who expected to be taken to the
fishing banks.
The Paul Koch has recently developed the
brenkinV-down habit. and ste showed sEmp-
toms of another attack just after she passed
Governors island. There was a strong vibra-
ton near the bearing OF the stnrboard end Of
the wheel shaft. The shaft seemed to wabble,
and one OF the passengers, Alfred Gustnfsen.
with the sanction OF several other anglers, went
to the engineer and asked him what had hap
pened TO the machinery. He says the engineer
swered that everything was all right.
The trouble became worse after the Koch had
passed into the lower bay. 1t was soon learned
that the supports OF the Journal box at the star
board paddle wheel had become loose. Capt.
Doraine decided that 1t would be risky taking
the Koch out in the open. so he anchored inside
Sandy Hook. The passengers protested, deelsP-
ing that they had come out to fish and not to
get a marine view. The Captain. so Gustafsen
says. told them that they could get all the fishing
they would want right where they were. go lines
were brought forth and hooks baited. The lines
were out Two hours and tue only bites the patterns
anglers got were from Sandy Hook mosquitoes,
which are much like Sandy Hook Holsters in
size-that il. proportionately. The anglers set
up a cry that they wanted to be taken back 20
New York. 1t Is said Capt. lorraine told them
that he would take them back when he got
ready.
About forty impulsive youngsters organized
themselves, after some explosive speech. making,
into q committee to wait upon the skipper and
demand that he should return Immediately to
New York. The older men among the excur-
sionists headed the rash committee of, and q
cooler lot of professionals were sent 10 the Cap
tain. This committee suggested that IL the
Koch was unable to proceed under her own
steam she should be towed up. The Captain de-
clared that he would not go back to New York
until he got ready, or until the journal had been
properly braced.
The mnchinists had been at work, meanwhile.
and at ten minutes to one in the afternoon the
Koch was headed for New York. She got to the
Battery at $50, and as each passenger stepped
ticket emitting him to go down TO the fishing
banks on the next trip Of the Koch on Sunday.

For fully two months before he went away on
his vacation Police Captain Chapman Of the
West Thirtieth street station tried to get some
evidence against tae boarding house kept by
Henri Tuillusseau at 119 West Twenty.ninth
street. where he suspected gambling was going
on. The proprietor finally convinced the Captain
that all his boarders did in the way OF gaming
was to play occasionally backgammon. checkers,
or craps for fun and never for stakes. So Capt.
Chapman went away satisfied that he had done
the FrenchmRn an injustice.
Sergeant McDermott, who Yields the sceptre
in the Tenderloin while the Captain Is away, did
not share this belief. So on Saturday night he
resolved to raid the place. He sent Detectives
Caddell and welsh down through a coal hole into
the cellar while Detectives Hunt and Wolf got
into the rear yard from the yard OF q public
school on West Thirtieth street. Caddell and
Welsh let the Sergeant In through the front door,
Tuillusseau and eleven boarders were playing
games. There wasn't q cent or a chip in sight.
and all the evidence that the Sergeant got were
q few decks or cards, q checker board, and two
dice.
Magistrate Deuel. smiled when he saw the
yesterday.
:" Really, Sergeant he said. II think you'll
have to try again. The prisoners are ali dis
charged"
TuTllusseau told the Magistrate that Capt.
Chapman had been in his house fifteen times
and had hnally become convinced that nothing
wrong took place there.

James Jordan. the e1press-waeon driver who
was arrested on Saturday night for beating his
horse, was held in 800 bail for trial by Maeis-
trate Deuel. in the jefferson Market Police Court
yesterday. Jordan was arrested on complaint
OF Sigmund E. Halberstadt OF Isl Liberty av-
enue. New Rochelle, but the complainant
against him yesterday was DR.. Eugene Dalton
OF the Bergh society. Mr.. Halberstadt thought
he did his share OF the work in bringing Jordan
10 justice on Saturday night, so he didn't appear
in court. He was entering the Grand Cen
trial Station when he noticed Jordan beltborinK
his horse. Before he could summon a policeman
Jordan drove away. Nr. HalberstadI called a
cab and ordered the driver to follow Jordan.
The cnbman followed Jordan TO Fifth avenue
and then down to Thirty-tourth street. Mr..
Halberstadt Kept his head OUT OF the window all
the way, looking for a policeman. but couldn't
hId one. Al ThiTty-tourth street Jordan began
beating the horse again. There was still no po-
liceman in sight. so Mr.. HalberstaGt called
another hanson and gave the driver 81 TO go
over to Broadway and get one. The hanson re-
t4rred in a few minutes with Policeman LegEett
Inside and Jordan was arrested. The horse
which be drove belongs TO William Dolan OF 1856

Police Captain Groo OF the Mercer street sta

ferson Market Police Court when he tried to get
Magistrate Deuel. to commit to the Island eight
women whom he had arrested In a raid on sat
urday night. Capt. Groo's experience will be OF
value to other precinct commanders who share
his opinion that n woman should be arrested for
something which q man may do and go free.
Magistrate Pool set the precedent in these
cases when he sailed into Capt. Chapmnn's
sleuths for arresting women OF tho street when
they were found in con versation With strange
men and not arrestinT the men 100. and IL would

he made the acG uaintAnce Of the red-haired

three saloons in the neighborhood Of the City

choice cigars for which the place was famous.
The red-haired man came out in q minute and
