9HIR YEARS CHIEF
The Commander Of Hoboken's
Finest Holds the Long
Service Record.

Chief of Police Charles A. Donovan of
Hoboken celebrated his thirty-first year
of service today as head of Hoboken's
police force. Many of his friends called
at Headquarters to congratulate him. he
holds the record, it is said, of having
served a longer term than n Chief of
Police in the United States.
Chief Donovan was born in Hoboken
November s, 1910, and was appointed
Chief of Police on the night of September
~, 1856. By trade the Chief is a carpen-
ter. When he assumed charge of the
force it numbered few men. Discipline
was unthought of m few records were
kept, but Chief Donovan soon changed all
this, and today Hoboken's police force,
although small compared with that OF
other cities, is Systematically organized.
For a long time the Chief did all his own
detecting, but in later years he was as
sisted by Detective James Gallagher, who
died some months ago. Gallagher did
| some clever work and succeeded in ar
resting many noted bank burglars and
other notorious thieves.
The Chief bears his age lightly, n his
head scarcely shows a gray hair.
He is popular with the residents of the
city and holds the respect of his entire
charge.

TRIED TO AsPHYXIATE HIMSELF
Unknown Man Attempts Suicide In
nrora Straef Raardin1 Hnuae.

q Grove STREET BOarolnG HOUSE.
A would-be suicide is lying in the City
Hospital in a precarious condition from
he inhalation of gas.
Last night the would-be suicide went to
the boarding house of Mrs. Hannah
Hawkes., at No. $40 Grove street, and
asked for a room for the night. Mrs.
Hawkes. put him in a room which in the
day is occupied by George Newman, a
night Waterman. Mrs. hawkes. ledger
retired to his room about eight o'clock.
Nothing more was seen or heard of him.
At half-past six O'Clock this morning
Newman returned from work, and going
to his room raped for admission. There
was no answer. Newman pounded on
the door, but still there was no answer.
He summoned Mrs. Hawkes., and after
banging on the door repeatedly decided to
burst it open.
They were endeavoring to force the
door when it suddenly opened and the
stranger staggered out and fell in a heap
in the hallway. There was a strong odor
of gas in the room, and an examination
revealed the fact that the new boarder
had removed the tip and left the gas
turned on. He had, however, left a win
dow open at the top, and that fact prob
ably prevented him from ending his life.
Mrs. Hawkes. ordered the man out of
the house. -.
He was unable to stand up n Mrs.
Hawkes. decided to notify the police. The
would-be suicide was taken to the City
HOSPITAL. He refuses to tell who he is.
He is about As years old, dark hair and
wears a light suit.

An Old Man Injured by a Horsecal
NOPE ROBBERIES IN THE SIXTH
Jewslry stolen From a Houss in
Captain McNulty,s BaIIfwfck.

Another robbery is to be added to the
long list of burglaries committed of late
in the Sixth Precinct.
On Sunday afternoon the family of
Rudolph Bergeman, a photographer, living
on the second floor of No. AZ Bowers
street, left their apartments, carefully
locking the doors after them. Some menu
Der of the family returned at about six
o'clock and found the parlor door open,
and on entering discovered evidences of
a sneak robbery having been committed.
Bureau drawers were open and the con-
tents scattered in every direction around
the floor as If the thieves had done their
work hastily. A velvet box containing a
gold watch and jewelry valued at S12o
was missing.
The thieves had evidently entered the
apartments by means of a duplicate key,
as there were no evidences of the door
having been forced. A social gathering
was in progress during the time the
Bergman family were absent, but no
one there heard any sound coming from
the apartments below.
A strange coincidence is that two
years ago to the day, Charles Seeberger,
who now conducts the saloon on the
ground floor, and who then lived where
the Bergeman's now 1--we, was roooeo ia
the same manner.
The matter was reported to the Web
ster avenue police, but owing to the
absence of any tangible clues 1t is doupt-
full if the perpetrators will be discovered.

SALVAGE MONEY.
The Large Sums Paid to the Wreck
ing Companies.


Owing to the high salvage money OBJ
tanned by rendering assistance to a dis
| abled ship at sea, many steamer and
| sailing vessels carry on an irregular sort
of "~wrecking business" by always being
on the alert for stranded ships. A tramp
| steamer that could bring a great trans
| atlantic liner into port in a disabled con-
| dition would realize more money than its
owner would make In a trip across the
sea with a full cargo.
AS an illustration of what salvage mon
ey is paid for towing steamers into port,
mention can be mace OF q few consplcu-
| Gus cases. In 1882 the City of Richmond
| was towed into Halifax Harbor, and cost
| her owners $1,000 in salvage money. In
| the same winter the City of Boston broke
her shaft at sea ah hI,, he er,. owners .VIa We're we're

| liner Paris broke down off the Irish
coast in 1890. she was lowed into port at

wrecking companies frequently send pow
erful tugs to sea Just after q storm in
search Of disabled vessels: If a steamer
is several days overdue, the tugs may go
hundreds of miles off the coast, and in

legs AS AMMUNITION.
Kentucky Battles which IL is Porsi-
Scent From A far.

bic To Scent From Afar.
People in the little mountain town of
Sharpsburg, KY, nave a peculiar diver
sion known as ''egg-throwing," accord
irg to the Chicago Record" which thus
describes one of these events
The heaviest battles occur on Saturday
night. Jim Strong IS the captain of one
cgg-throwing band, and Bill Eversole is
the captain of the other. They V
about twenty men each. Each mai has
to provide himself with a dozen eggs,
and, of course, it is to his interest that he
buys them where he can get them the
heapest. AS no Individual expects to De
struck by his own eggs, ne does not re-
ouire the dealer to and them. In
this way the dealers IN country prouuce
here are able to realize at least cost price
on their sickest eggs.
Last Saturday nights battle was d
glorious one. The moon Was SHINING,
and the boys lined up for the tray ABOUT
nine O'Clock. Every OF the Two
did not throw, simply directing the move

full quota of eggs when The battle pegan.
The first volley was thrown by strong )
men. and six men on the EverSole size
were struck. Then the Eversoles began
to throw eggs, and at their first voiiey
seven Strong men were marked, ana one
egg carried away the cap OF Capfaln
Strong. Then the throwing became IN

work was made.
4s0 eggs were thrown. Nearly every
| man mad been plastered, and the captains
were regular omelets from head TO foot.
1t was DECIDED that Strongss men won
the fight. The Eversole company did the
proper thing, and several bottles of a
colorless liquid known as "moonshine'
were passed. The most casual observer

| Could have told there had been an egg
| battle, for the houses, sidewalks, fences
and curbstones were plastered with eggs
and shells.

CRUSHED BY TROLLEY
Young Eight Year Old Joseph
Handel Runs 10 Front Of a
Motor and Is Killed.

The life of eight year old Joseph
Handel, of No. 42O Jersey avenue, was
crushed out last night, under the wheels
of a trolley car. So badly was the boy
mangled that his parents were scarcely
able to recognize aim.
About half past six O'Clock, and who
had been out on the Communipaw flats
playing with some companions, started
for home. 1t was just at that hour when
the trolley cars made an almost steady
procession. The street was crowded with
heavily loaded trucks, which at times
shut the trolley cars from view
Young Handel waited some time for the
street to clear and finally lodged IN De-
hind a truck and attempted to run across
the street. The moment he stepped from
behind the truck he saw a Bayohne
trolley car rushing down upon him. Ihe
child stood still in the middle OF Inc
tracks. The motorman applied the brake
but to no avail. The fender struck the
lad with terrific force, tossing him IN the
air and hurting him against the iron cas-
ing of the front platform. When the
car was brought to a ~standstil the poy
lay in the fender as if dead. HIS race
and head were covered with blood. which
oozcd from an ugly wound in the back OF
his head. The boy was unconscious.
Efforts to arouse him were futile. An
ambulance was sent for and he was re-
| moved in all haste to the City Hospital,
where it was found his skull had been
fractured. The boy never recovered con-
/ seriousness, dying within an hour after the
accident occurred. The motorman, Samuel
Blocker, of No. TIC Ocean avenue, was
Earrested n charged with manslaughter-
He was arraigned before Justice Potts
this morning and paroled in the custody
of the counsel of the Traction Company.
Those who saw the accident say 1t was
impossible for the motorman to stop the
car in time to prevent striking the boy.
This is the second accident that has
occurred at jersey avenue and Grand
street within the last three weeks.
