SOME OTHER M. T.
Trouble over \ Check which WAS
Never Cashed

Never Cashed
John M. Stewart was put on trial IN the
General Sessions Court today for forgery.
On Sept. IL he went to a butcher shop
at No. 248 Warren street n purchased
$40 worth of provisions, offering a check
for SIG in payment The check was drawn
on the Hudson County National Bank to
Stewards order, and bore the signature,
IN. T.. Connolly" George Herman, the
salesman, could not cash the check, but
he went with Stewart to several places,
but did not get the check cashed.
Herman testified this morning that
Stewart told him that he check was
signed by NJ. T. Connolly, the contractor,
who is building public school No, l. in
York street. Mr.. Connolly was called and
said that the signature on the check was
not his, and that he never saw the paper
before. ezr~-setss IA
Stewart told a plausible story, but it
failed to stand the test of Assistant Prose
cutor Noonan's cross-examination. He
said that he was employed as salesman
for an oil company in Cleveland, o., and
tina he received the check from a man
Martin T.. Connolly, in payment
for two barrels of oil.
On cross-examination, he admitted that
he had met Martin Connolly only once;
and that was when he made the sale n
got the check; he didn't know what Con-
nolly's business was, or where he was 10
Gated, except that he believed he had some
big hoisting machines. and does business
somewhere in this city. He did not for
ward the check to his employers, although
he thought that perhaps he ought to have
done so. He denied hat he claimed to
have got the check from Michael I. Con-
molly, the contractor.
Sergt. Fred Hel1mer of the First pre-
cinct, testified that Stewart told him that
he got the check from Connolly, the con-
tractor. Lawyer Donelan. deIended stew.

H0B0KEN ABLAZENITH RED FIRE
Socialists aud Anarchists Have d
concentration.

The Socialistic Labor party of Hoboken,
representing almost every nation on the
globe, got together or Saturday night
and raised a big war whoop for anarch-
istic principles. For over three hours the
city was ablaze with red fire and from all
appearances it seemed as though an in
surrection had occurred. The Socialists
had extended invitations to all their fell
low believers in the county and State to
take part In the demonstration. They as
sembled at Odd Fellows Hail on WASH
ington street, about three thousand strong
and paraded through the principal streets
of the city headed by d a brass band.
At the head of the procession was a big
red flag, the emblem of the party. Fol-
lowing this was a large red banner, on
which was painted an arm representing
labor. The tassels of the banner were
carried by two girls dressed in white with
red sashes. There were Also banners bear
ing such inscriptions as Eat Nothing but
Union Bread," More Schools, Not Armor-
les" and w Want Work Not Charity"
All the paraders carried torches. AS they
passed along the line of marchsa number
of their sympathizing friends, mostly sa-
loonk&eperS, shot off red fire works. The
appearance of each red light was the sig
nal for a war Whoop from the procession
and the streets were soon in an uproar.
The mob returned to the han about nine
o'clock, where a mass meeting was held.
Speeches were made in French, German
and English SO that the foreigners in the
mob might nave a chance to understand
what was goin on. Even the music was
foreign, the band playing "La Marseil-
laise" for an opening selection. The
speeches were the usual TRADES against
capitalists. Everybody was condemned
who had money and wouldn't give it to
the working classes who earned it. The
police and all other city and county Of
man installed in their places.
One speaker ordered the crowd not to
buy beer made at Daniel Berme's brew
cry in Union Hill, because the union work.
men in that brewery were not getting
proper recognition. This remark set the
Socialists in an uproar and it was some
time before they could be quoted. The
meeting did not adjourn until after eleven
