STUFFED WITH CHEESE.
Rutgers Soph- Have Their Banquet Ap-
Prtites spoiled by Freshiss.

New BRUNSWICK. Jan. 2s.-while going to
their Annual class dinner five sophomores OF
Rutgers College were kidnapped last night by a
crowd OF freshmen, and had to undergo indig-
mites that made them very late at the banquet,
besides making them decidedly unhappy. The
victims were James Mac Donald Martin Of East
Orange, George w. Ecker OF Albany. Samuel
w. Cuddaback OF Port Jervis. A. II. Shearer Of
Philadelphia, and William l.. II. Haines Of
Newark. Martin and Ecker. who attempted to
escape, were gagged with hand X crchiefs ard
tied to posts In College avenue. where the fresh
men deserted them In tho binding snowstorm.
Tho other three men were taken In trolley car
to Miiitown and wero walked from there to
South River. n distance OF four miles.
Al South River. the sophomores were taken to
a grocery siore. where. seated IN counter, thoy
were compelled to eat crackers and cheese,
After they had danced and sung Tor tho fresh
men. and made speeches lauding the under
classmen. the victims were brought back to this
city and allowed to 60 to the banquet. Martin
and Ecker had been rescued somo time before
aud escorted to the banquet room. where they
were warmed with wine. Tho sOphomor.s,
however. partly eysnsd the score for the night
by capturing ii. u. RapalJe, freshman. and
taking him a prisoner to the banquet. They
forced him To sit IN n chair at the table there
and eat bread and milk from u spoon.

As the result Of q political wransle In the Cor
man American Citizens verein OF Hoboken,
Joseph Tucker. y former member. has begun
three suits, asking In each $4,000 n. q balm
FOR damages by defamation OF character. The
defendants are Adolph A. Lankerine, President

tag were expelled from tho organization on
Wednesday night on charges Of attempting to
sell the political support OF the club Both men
were tried by an investigating committee. Tho
complaint. 1t is alleged. waa made before tho
club by Fire Comm 'Sjioner Bender. ar. Tucker
says:
II met Mr.. szo' tag on Friday evening. Jan.
10, after attending n meeting of tho club, and
he conhded to mo that Mr.. Bender was using
him Ia financial way very shabbiiy, and that
lie would not pull the chestnuts out Of the fre
for MIR. Bendc. as he had In other campaigns
lie would not do the work and get nothing for
1t, aad he declared that hereafter II he did any
work money must be forthcoming. Iio asked
me what thoug Of II, and I told him to go
ahead. IL was my impression that he wns trying
TO sound me. and to fnd out his real motive
told him would do what he thought best. Th.
following Monday l received q letter from
MIR. Szontap containing the statement that
acertain party would rivo 5000 IL tho society
cratic. He also asked me to call and SEQ him
l went 10 his dycinR establishment on Washing
ton street ard asked him who the party was.
lie refused to mention names. He told me con.
fdentially that II would take the letter to Rob-
ert Davis. prominent Democrat In Jersey City.
or to Michael J. Coyle. = Democratic politician
OF Hoboken. they would probably advan CO some
money to make the organization Democratic.
Not knowing whether he was planning . trap
for me took the letter. but did not show II to
some % out Of Szontas,s scheme; lie asked mo
why didn't 20 to see Mr.. Davis or
sln0,. MT; Goyls; .o.md and only laughed a. him.
m ! would expose him, and to f3restall
the whole story Of the existence OF the letter;
said that had originated II. had circulated IT,
and had proposed the scheme. I went to Szon-
tag nfterwsrd and asked him what he was try
ing TO do with ne. and he accused me OF PLAYING
y trick on him. While | was talking to him ia
his store heard . noise behind n curtain over .
door leading IN an adjoining room. asked who
WAS IN the room. and he replied. My wife" I
pilled the curtain aside and found II. J. Band
olz, one OF the investigating committee, taking
E lown our conversation."
Mr.. Tucker says he had never thought Of SELL
ing the organization. and he believes II was .

THURSDAY Jan. 2S.
There was no change to-day either in tho
character or volume OF tho trading In stocks.
The market was as narrow and professional as
ever. 1t was, II any thing, rather moro irregular
than yesterday, and the number OF noteworthy
net fluctuations was equally small. All OF the
Hooking Valley securities rallied sharply on
the material progress made yesterday toward
n settlement OF the differences between the
Ohio bitumnous coal producing and carry
ing companies, and the conclusion OF
negotiations hero that removed the pres.
sure TO sell tho securities mentioned.
Tho only other important net advance was that
OF lis q cent. in Northern Pacific preferred.
The anthracite coal shares rallied fractionally
on very light transactions. On tho other hand,
Manhattan Railway closed IA Y cent. lower
than yesterday The bear faction In the market
renewed Its attack upon that stock, accompany
Ing them with reports thrt tho company con-
templates new issue OF bonds. These reports
promptly provoked official statements that there
was no basis for them whatever. The market
for Omaha common showed that the dividend
declared to-day had heen fully discounted.
IL was learned to-day that many of the loans
on long sterling bills made during tho last two
months Of last year have recently been paid on.
