Sees In tire NeyE Wear.

Sees In tne NeE Year.
The unique organizationn known as the
Dollar Club had their annual banquet
yesterday morning in the large room
over Louis HeIler's saloon at Newark
and Oakland avenues. The affair was
"a grand success. The club consists now
of twelve members. The card of mem
bership is a section Of a one dollar bill
which has been cut in twelve pieces.
The members are required to be on hand
precisely at midnight on New Year, S,
just as >the bells begin to ring out the
old year and ring in the new. Any mem
Der who is late or who fails to produce
his membership card has to suffer the
penalty of paying all the expenses of the
slipper. When all the members are as
sembied at the stroke of midnight the
membership cards are produced and
matched to make sure that there are
no ringers. Then the banquet begins.
Surrogate James T. Lillis presided at
this supper. ALI the members and several
guests were present. They included &C.
J. Rooney, Clerk of the County Board of
of the Board Of Freeholders Andrew j..
Boyle, Clerk of the Second Criminal
Court; Major Robert Smith, of the

he Is Making Hard Flight for ser-

Ge8Utsat- Arfe1H.
Ex-Assemblylnan Benedict of Essex was
in Jersey City today working for the posi-
tion of Sergeant-at-Arrns of the next
House. Mr.. Benedict does not appear in
any way discouraged by the fact that his
county has endorsed Charles Duncan for
Clerk. and his county can hardly expect
two such offices as Clerk and Sergeant1at-
Arms.
1t is by no means certain that Mr.. Dun
can win be elected, in fact it is almost cer-
tain that he will not be. In that case Es-
sex may be content with Sergeant-at
Arms. In fact that is the position which
some of the delegation want and for An
thony Breidenbach. Breidenbach IS not
over popular With the Essex Republicans,
and only three Of this years members fa-
vor him That however. ts two better
than he had last year. These he went into
the caucus with only ONE member from
his county and won. Mr.. Benedict says
he has the others, although at q recent
caucus of the Essex men refused to en-
dorse anyone fer that position. Benedict
is circulating the resolutions adopted by
the County Committee last year denounc-
ing Breidenbaoll as renegade Republ1-
can. 1t seems he at one time opposed the
Republican candidate.

COPPER'S READY GUN.
Burglar Caught in a Saloon By
a Sharp Policeman Booty
Regained.

An attempt at wholesale r0bbsry was
made early this morning at the saloon Of
Ernest Sidman, Summit avenue and Acad-
eny street Patrolnan Michael Kavan-
agh. who has that post, WAS passing the
store about haif-past two when his at
tention was attracted by a slight noise
inside.
Kavanagh turned and tried the door.
He found it securely fastened, but, not
satisfied, ne turned back and walking up
Academy street stood and listened at the
fence which encloses the yard. He soon
heard a noise in the yard as IL some one
was moving stealthiIy. Convinced that
something was wrong he again walked to
Summit avenue and trying the side door
found it unlocked.
Through the hall and into the yard
Kavanagh walked. In the darkness he
could distinguish the form of a man in
the act of handing a package over the
fence. Kavanagh crept quietly to with
in few feet Of the intruder, and then
reaching out tapped the fellow on the
shoulder. This occasioned a surprise
which caused the burglar to drop a box
of cigars which he held.
st guess you had better come with
me- said Kavanagh. No reply was
made to this. but sounds were heard
on the outside which seemed as if some
one was running from the spot.
The fellow whom Kavanagh confronted
said nothing, but made quick move as
if to draw a weapon. The policeman was
the quicker. however, and the burglar felt
a cold shiver go down his back as he
looked into the barrel of 42-calibre re-
volver held In steady hand.
Kavanagh then became persuasive
Won't you please come with me?" ne
asked the burglar.
yes growled that individual, 'but if
you hadn't been SO quick with that gun
OF yours wouldn't have gone.''
The prisoner was then taken to the
Montgomery street station house, where
he admitted his guilt. The booty, con-
sisting Of % boxes Of cigarettes several
boxes of cigars, four or five hundred pool
checks, a bung starter and keg. Of beer,
was all recovered.
The prisoner gave his nams, as John
Smith, of No s38 Bergen avenue. He is
well known to the police. He was arrested
five years ago fer stealing carpet from the
cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad at the
Waldo avenue yard. He gave his name
then as John Ridener, but he has since
been known as Herman Rideman and now
as John Smith.
Smith was held for examination.

JUAN FERNANDEZ ALL RIGHT.
Freak V0yager Visited tbe island
Slnca MS Sunnokad Esaatrucfaan.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2, 1s97.-Cap-
tain Slocum, the American skipper, who
is voyaging around the world alone in
a small yawl, tells of his visit to Rob-
inson Crusoe Island, Juan Fernandez, Off
the coast Of Chile, on his way across
the Pacific. At Valparaiso he had heard
the reports that the islands had disap-
peared, but he found them all right. He
said there were thirty-five families on
the island, prosperous and happy. Rob
jnson Crusoe's cave was still intact.s
Captain SlocuIn said that the reports OF
tho disappearance of the island originated
with Chilean skipper. who had been sent
to the island with a cargo of supplies for
the inhabitants there Among the sup
plies was an assortment of spirits, and the
skipper freely helped himself.
The result was that from the moment
the vessel left Valparaiso he could not be
sobered up long noeugh to take an OBJ
servation of the sun and determine the
position of the sun and the course that
Should be taken to reach ,the islands.
None of the crew except the drunken
skipper understood navigation. After
sailing about for sevral days In the
spot where he thought the islands should
be, he turned the bow of his vessel to-
wards the east and picking up some land
marks along the coast found mis- way
back to port.
The drunken skipper for an excuse for
the failure of his voyage said that the
islands had disappeared out of sight

M,AULgYfs ELECTION VOID.
Result OF the Enqriry Hnsa' Go. G.'s
Trouble.

Trouble has existed for some time in
Company G of the Fourth Regiment,
but has been effectaaIly squehshed b. a
committee of officers appointed by Col
Abernethy to investigate the matter. The
committee consisted Of Major Joseph H.
Brensinger and Captains J. Howard
Bumsted and Arthur L. Steele. Bat
TALON Adjutant Frank H Cole served
as clerk.
The trouble originated over the failure
of Sergeant Thomas H. McAuley to
properly fulfill the duties required Of
and proved to be generally useless to
the company. Captain Samuel Bouker
reprimanded him but this had not the de-
sired effect so as a last resort Sergeant
McAuley was reduced to the ranks.
This Captain Bouker thought would
end the trouble, but it did not The cleo
ton to fill his place being ordered the
members of the company decided to re-
elect McAuley, and this was done. Cap
tain Bouker became annoyed and threat
ened to resign should McAuley pass the
Examining Board and receive his Ser
geant's warrant.
When Colonel Abernethy learned OF this
state of affairs ne appointed the commit
tee to investigate the matter A meeting
of that committee was held last Monday
night. but the decision was not made
public until yesterday The report Of
the committee showed that Captain Bou-
ker was upheld In his stand by the Off
GERS. Colonel Abernethy then issued an
order declaring that Sergeant McAuley
wa disrespectful and insolent, and chat
Captain Bouker took the right stand in
rpf n a
at which he was reelected was annullei
and new election ordered.
