ken, was arrested at his home this morn
ing by Policeman William Dougherty,
charged with breaking into the tailor
shop of Herman GALLUP at No. 102

from the Penitentiary, where he served a
term for highway robbery. He is well
known to the police and his picture is
in the rogues' gallery.
Policeman Dougherty was walking along
Twelfth street about four o'clock this
morning when he noticed that the front
window of Gallub's shop was broken.
Upon Investigating he discovered several
articles of mems clothing lying in the
street and found the interior of the store
in disorder Clothing was strewn about in
every direction.
Dougherty made inquiries in the neigh
borhood and learned that Rainie had
been seen about the place a few hours
before. He then went to Rainie's house,
where he found him lying in a room In
a drunken condition. A large bundle OF
clothing, which had been stolen from
Gallubs store, was in the same room
The prisoner was arraigned before Re-
corder McDonough, but denied that he
knew anything about the robbery. He
could not explain he said, how the stolen
goods reached his home. He was COM
fnitted to the County Jail to await trial.

WHAT WILL He Do?
The Mayor Has Eight Days
to Act on the Water
Specifications.

Mayor Hoos has now eight days in
which to act on the water question and
there is any amount of guessing as to
what His Honor's action will be.
"A dollar to a doughnut" said one city
official to another, chatting about the
water situation, ''that the Mayor will
veto it,
Cigar and a-glass of water His Honor
will allow it to become operative without
his signature, was the reply.
1t is on all sides agreed that the Mayor
will not do the latter. 1t is well known
that he is anxious to solve the problem
and have the specifications advertised as
quickly as possible, but there are several
butts in the way. So far as the Com
missioners of Finance and Street and
Water Board are concerned they regard
the advertising stage as a contamination
devoutly to be wished.
A silly local paper started the story
that there was so much feeling about this
matter that Mayor Hoos won't speak to
the Commissioners of both boards. The
nonsense and falsity of this yarn is so
illustrate the real feeling in the matter
here is what one of the Commissioners
said this morning.
I'VE are all sorry that there is hitch
in this matter. We of course honor the
Mayor for his opinions, but we believe
that his advisers are dangerous people
in matter like this. That is ALL

Feroeious Attack on Civil Ser
vice Reform and Big Boom
for Pensions.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10, 1S97-The
House of Representatives, today. resum-
ed the consideration of the Pension Ap-
preparation bill, which was debated yes
terday.
Mr.. Brown Rep., o. attacked the civil
service law because it protected some of
the pension examining boards appointed
under the last administration. He styled
it an "abomination" and was Justify ap-
plauded by many of his colleagues. He
said the soldiers of his district regard
ed this law as inimical to their interests
and he favored it's repeal or radical modi-
fication. He declared that the President
was mistaken when he affirmed that the
civil service law had the approval of the
people. The Republicans and the press
of his district had denounced it. The
last Republican State Convention of Ohio
had declared against the law and on that
platform he stood.
If disloyalty to the law was disloyalty
to the Republican party then he was dis
loyal. Great APPLAUSE in the zgalleries.l
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Browns re-
agreed to close debate on the bill at 3:lo.
Mr.. Bromwell (Rep., Ohio, said he con-
CURED with much said by his colleague,
Mr.. Brown, but he insisted that true Civil
Service reform was a cardinal principal
of Republicanism. He believed he said,
that Grover Cleveland had done more to
discredit the true spirit of civil service re,
form that all the agencies combined, and
he though Mr.. Mckinley could be relied
upon to bring it back into its proper
channel.
Mr.. Maxwell (Pop., Neb), submitted
some remarks in favor OF liberal pensions
and was followed by Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep.,
Ohio). who said that while his colleagues

practically OF one mind. So far as he was
concerned, he had enlisted for the war
against the law

sNEAD GOES TO STATE PRISON
The Murderous Negro Promptly Con-
Yfcted of AesaulIfng Foreman GIfi n.

George Snead a negro, possessed Of
murderous instincts, was very speedily
and very properly convicted in the Spe-
cial Sessions Court yesterday afternoon
of atrocious assault and battery on Jas.
Tfffin. Tiffin is stable foreman in the
United States Express Company's stable,
at Eighth and Provost streets, and Snead
was employed there as a helper.
On October II Tiffin found fault with
the manner in which Snead had groomed
or rather not groomed a horse. The
following morning Snead armed himself
with a heavy club and started out to
kill Tiffin. He walked up to the stable
foreman and remarking, I'm going to
kill you right here beat him on the
head with the club until Tiffin was un-
conscious, and then kicked him in the
ribs and head. Thinking that he had
finished his murderous work, the negro
fled. but was captured by Policeman
Dooley near the Pavonia ferry.
Tiffin was taken to St. Francis Hospi-
tai and was at the point of death for
several days. 1t was only his strong con-
stitution and the careful treatment he re-
ceived that pulled him through. He was
still suffering from the ereets OF the
assault when he took the stand yesterday
to tell the story of the brutal assault
upon him.

begged Snead to spare me for my Wlfe
and children. He said, No. III kill you.'
Snead had no defence to offer except
that the foreman kept nagging him all

PAIL ON THE WATERS
P. R. R. Ferryboats Bump in
the Fog Erie Passen-
gers Long Trip.

The Pennsylvania ferryboats Chicago
and Hudson City crashed together in the
dense fog which prevailed last night and
this morning. The damage, however,
was slight. Part of the guard rail of the
Chicago was torn away. The Hudson
City was not in the least damaged. The
collision happened as the Chicago was
leaving her slip for her 12:15 A. NJ. trip.
There were but few passengers aboard
either boat. These were only frightened.
The Hudson City had been nosing about
for her slip in the fog, and had just
struck it as the Chicago, unseen by the
pilot, commenced to move out The crash
was caused by the sudden slewing
around of the Hudson City after strik-
ing the piles of her slip.
The Erie ferryboat Pavonia left Cham
bers street, New York, at three A. M.
She did not reach Jersey City until 7:45
A. M. There were sixty passengers
aboard during the three and three-quar-
ter hours which the boat drifted around
the river.
The fog of last night caused a blockade
on all the Hoboken ferries 1t took some
or the Terryboats two hours to make q
round trip and the ferry houses on both
sides OF the river were crowded with
passengers. The accident which occurred
to the Bremen last Wednesday morning
was not forgotten and the officials of the
ConpaHS gave iilSlfuclioHS 10 eecn pilol
to be extremely cautious. Only two
boats were placed in commission on the
Barclay street line and one boat was not
allowed to leave until the other was safe
in her slip so as to avoid a possible col
lision.
In consequence of this arrangement
many men and women were delayed from
thirty minutes to two hours in getting to
their houses. The trains on the Morris
& Essex Division of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna &Western Railroad We're also
delayed and the schedule time was
broken. The trains crept along slowly
and stops were frequent The engineers
cidentS were feared every moment.
Wagons were lined up on both sides of
the river waiting to cross the ferries.
Many of them were engaged in carting
milk from the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western depot and the teamsters were
wishing that the proposed North River
Bridge We're a reality.

TIE BICYCLE HORROR
Serious Accident on the Madi-
son Square Garden Track
Condition Of Survivors.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 1s97.-When early
this morning enthusiasts over the SIX
days horror reached Madison Square
Garden they found only sixteen of the
thirty-six men who started on the record
breaking task on Monday last. The Sec
ond serious accident of the contest had
removed Moore from the track. The wheel
of the Philadelphian, while he was IN
fifth place at eight A. M, slipped on
turn and Moore fell over the handle-bars
His tire had become loosened and Wedged
Kin the fork. He struck his head Violently
against one of the uprights of the rail and
lay unconscious beside the passing riders.
If he had not been so dazed, Moore
would probably have been able to save
himself from falling. At first 1t was
thought that he was dead. An ambulance
surgeon put the fears of the spectators
at rest, and it was found that Moore's
injuries consisted of a bad cut on the
head and strain to the chord on the
right side of the neck. He was put to
bed. He had ridden 4S9 miles when he
fell At 1880 his trainer said he would
return to the track, but probably would
not be able to finish.
Although Miller had lead of 6S miles
at s:15 A. NJ, it was anybody's race Both
Miller and Rice, the Wilkesbarre boy,
who has followed so slosely on his heels,
showed the painful evidences of the heart
breaking pace they had maintained since
Monday. Miller's trainers feared for some
time this morning that their mans mlnd
was giving way. The sleep Which would
put him right is an impossibility, for the
pursuing Rice would then cut down his
lead. Rice, too. harrassed by the fear OF
Rivierre and urged by the hopes Of over
hauling Miller dare not sleep. OF the flrst
three men, Rivierre looked by far the best
conditioned and a wager of 500 to $9o
that he will beat Rice found no takers.
Teddy Hale is among the men who, the
experts say, Is certain to last to the END.
He had smashed his own record OF last
year, when he. completed his one hun
dredth hour today. Schinneer's eyes are
in bad shape, and unless they get better
quit.
Pierce, who is suffering from his
wrenched arm, followed closely on Hales
heels Cannon, Beacon and Enterman
plodded away gamely and looked in ex-
cellent condition. They will probably
finish in about the same positions they
have now. King claims to be very strong,
and he expects to go up several pegs.
Gray and johnson are down at the end,
and they will probably remain there. The
colored man is a source of annoyance to
the other riders, as he is continually in
their way because of his slow riding.
Why he is kept in is a mystery, as he ap-
parently has no chance of making the re-
quired 1850 miles in order to get some of
the stakes.
