Turning Freight Cars loose I'm the
Erie Yard West of the Tunnel.

Otto Danbeck, IA years DID,, of No. 143
New York avenue. was held for examiha-
ton in the Second Criminal Court this
morning. It is alleged he is one of a
gang of boys who daily endanger the lives
of hundreds OF people and damage thous-
ands of dollars worth of railroad prop
erty through pure deviltry. He was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Sergeant
Solomon on complaint of G.. E.. Jordan,
yardmaster for the Erie Railroad.
Jordan and John Brown, chief detec-
tive of the Erie Railroad, appeared
against him at the examination this
morning. 1t appears from their testi-
mony that Dunbeck is one of a number
of boys who congregate about the freight
yards at the western end of the Bergen
tunnel. Their favorite amusement
seems to be playing brakemen. They
uncouple freight cars, n mounting to
the roofs loosen the breaks and send them
speeding on the down grade without APP
parentiy realizing what serious conse-
quences are liable to result from their ac-
lions.
Several freight cars have in this way
been wrecked by dashing into other cars.
and Yardmaster Jordan says 1t is a mir
acle that some of them nave not run on
to the main line and caused a collision
with passenger trains.
Detective Brown asked that Danbeck
be remanded until tomorrow when he
hopes to have the other boys in custody.
Justice Nevin granted his request.

THE OCEAN CAUSES TROUBLE.
Riparian Commission to Decide n
N.KnOtty Questions.

The Board of Riparian Commissioners
will. tomorrow. visit Ocean City, near
Cape May, to investigate a question which
has arisen through the vagaries of the
ocean. Ocean City was purchased sew
eral years ago by an association of do
mines of Cape May and Philadelphia
with the design of establishing a Meth
odist summer resort governed on the
principles of Ocean Grove and Asbury
Park. The enterprise thrived and many
well-to-do and religiously inclined per-
sons bought lots and established summer
homes there. These property owners paid
a premium for ocean frontage.
Last winter was mighty stormy around
Cape May and the waves played havoc
with different sections of the ocean front.
1t ate away large tracts of the beach in
one part, and filled in the frontage of
some of the choicest of the lots of Ocean
City. The sane hat the waves washed
in made an entirely new sea frontage and
left the old-time sea lots a good distance
from the beach line.
The owners of these lots complain that
the real estate managers have appro-
priated the sea-made land and mapped it
out as new ocean frontage, and are SELL
ing it. or about to sell it, in lots to the
highest bidders over the heads of the
purchasers of the old ocean frontage lots.
The old lot owners complain that if this
Is lone those residents who in good faith
paid premium prices for lots with a guar
antee of a fine and unobstructed ocean
view will lose that advantage and be
compelled to put up with a view of the
backwards of those who buy lots on the
newly made ocean front. They insist that
this will be a downright swindle.
The State of New Jersey owns all the
land undo water for three miles from
the shore line, and it is commended. there
fore, that the Riparian Commissioners
and not the City, Trustees AVE control
posed sale. Commissioner John Holt has
received a formal appeal to interfere from
a property owner who acts for those
whose interests will be affected by the
sale OF the new frontage. He says that
It is a novel complication, and that the
Commissioners will sift the matter thor
oughly and not permit injustice to be
done to any of the property owners.

RARE CHANCE FOB INVESTORS.
Valuable BayonEe Lands TO BE Of
fered for Sale Thursday.

A most important sale of valuable land
will take place in Chancery Chambers on
Thursday afternoon next, when Counselor
De Witt Van Buskirk, a special master in
chancery, will knock down to the highest
bidder three parcels of land in the city of
Bayonne.
This property now coming into the mar
ket now opens up great possibilities for
the future of Bayonne. 1t is adjacent to
the waters of New York Bay and the Kill
Won Kull, and its water front will in a
few years be of immense commercial
value. 1t is the only important part of
the water front in the southern end of
the county not absorbed by railroad and
other powerful corporations. It's sale
was ordered by a decree in Chancery on
the partition suit of Edward L. Molineux,
complainant, against Charles T.. Reynolds
and others, defendants.
Year by year the lands in Bayonne ad-
joining New York harbor have increased
at a marvellous rate in value, the rea-
son, of course, being their proximity to
the great trunk lines, and in a very short
time the water front from the Kills to
piers and wharves at which freight from
Brooklyn, Long Island and New York
will be landed for transcontinental ship
ment.
All the parcels to be sold on Thursday
have their title perfectly sound, and for
many years there has not been offered
such a nance to speculate in an invest
ment calculated to produce the most
profitable result.

ton of Enos place. Ripp is a florist.
Mrs. Ellington came to his store yester-
day and bought a quantity of flowers, to

hired Rips son, Gustav, Jr., to accom-
pany her to the cemetery to orange the
plants for her.
AS young Ripp was digging about the

made his eyes glitter. His spade had
turned up a large cluster of diamonds
made into an old-fashioned brooch. Seiz-
ing it, he held it in the open palm of
his HAND n uttered EXPLANATIONS of
surprise and delight at his rich find.
Mrs. Billington's attention was attract

jewelry than, according to Rips story,
she made a spring for him and seizing
it, said
That is mine; give 1t to me. / lost

Protective Association Left Him.

discussed special brands" Henry Rath-
jen, a new member, was introduced to
the other members. A bill which was re-
ceived from the State Association for
printing delinquent lists, which contained
several other small items, was ordered
returned for correction. The association
refused to pay its pro rata share of the
cost of the delinquent list, as it claims to
be no longer a member of the State body.
The State Association win probably bring
suit to recover the amount of the bill.
Under the head of good and welfare"
Alderman William Howeth exhibited a
coat and a pair of gloves which he said
he had been obliged to take in place of
his coat after the last meeting, as they
were all that were left when he left the
hall. es
Ibid you say you found them Tuesday
morning?' asked one of the members, and
then the whole association continued to
Jolly" the Alderman until they wearied
of the game. Mr.. Howeth admitted that
the coat he had was better than the one
that had been taken, but it didn't fit. He
was positive that he had not made the
mistake. as he was the last to leave the

Block moved that a committee of three
be appointed to " the members n
find the Alderman's coat; another mem
Der thought it ought to be advertised in
the. next delinquent list. j.. Shellenberger
said
.sOur politicians are evidently not up
to snuff. This is plainly an attempt to
bride the Alderman by giving him a new
coat. 1t was done in this gentle manner
that he might not be offended. I under
stand that several members are looking
for the inspectorship of scales and meas
ures."
w. g. Meyers moved that the Alderman
be authorized to buy 300 postal cards at
his own expense and address one to each
member of the association with a view of
finding his property. The owner of the
coat and gloves had not appeared when
the meeting adjourned.
Before adjourning a resolution provid-
