John G. e,arrss Servant Girl Treats
His Household to a Circus.

Annie Bryan, % years old, a servant in
the employ of John c. Carr, at No. 160
Eleventh street. Hoboken, was seized with
violent fits early yesterday morning. She
ran through every room in the house,
broke the furniture, and Mr.. Carr and his
wife were compelled to hold her down on
the floor. She became quieted again un-
til last night when she started kicking
over furniture in the parlor and smashing
the bric-a-brac.
Mrs. Carr became alarmed and called in
DR.. Foley, who said the woman was vio-
lently insane and recommended that she
be placed in charge of the police before
she did herself bodily injury Two po-
licemen from the Second precinct went to
the house and took the girl to Police
Headquarters in coach. While on the
way to the station the woman strug-
gled with the officers and smashed one of
the windows in the coach She was
committed to the County jail to be ex-
amined by the county physician The
woman has been employed with the Carr
family for eighteen months. She is a
brunette and is quite pretty.
Mrs. Carr says the girls condition was
caused by the excitement which prevailed
in the nedghborhood during the disastrous
fire which broke out on Fourteenth street
on Sunday morning. The fire could be
seen from the rear windows of the Carr
home Artnie watched the fire from the
window ard when she saw the families
being rescued she went into violent hys-
terics. Mrs. Carr says Annie often com

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. e. 1s97.-The

a tug signalled to the waiting officers that
the long expected vessel had; arrived, and
that Murdered Butler was aboard The
Revenue Cutter, Hartley, with detectives
and reporters aboard, put off just before
daylight. When the Swanhilda was res
cued the crew was lined up on the pre-
tense of examination by quarantine. Off
GERS. Australian detectives Egan and Sill
vey, disguised, stood beside the physician.
When Butler was reached in the line of
sailors the detectives sprang forward and
pinioned his arms. The variant was then
read, and the prisoner haaldcuffed, and
with a rope about his Aaist he was taken
aboard the Hantley and afterwards turn-
ed over to the local police. Butler de-
clared his innocence of amy crime, but
trembled and seemed disconcerted when
arrested The captain and sailors Of the
Swanhilda say Butler was very quiet and
pious. Captain Held had received warn
ing from passing vessel of the character
of Butler, but had not considered it neces-
sary to place him in irons. A close watch
was kept upon him, however. Butler will
be returned to Australia ON the first steam
er. Butler shipped as common sailor
under the name of Lee Waller, the cap
tain who was one of his victims, and he

ARSON TRIAL POSTPONED.
Dentist AIbanesfus suffering fror
PIeuro Pueuna0n5a


Pleuro Pneumonsa.
The trial of Dentist Otto H. Albanesius
of Central avenue for arson was post
poned again this morning. Prosecutor
Winfield called a list of forty wit
nesses for the State and they all ans
wered.
Ex-Judge Hoffman, for the defence, an
nounced that Albanesius is just conval-
escing from severe attack of pleuro-
pneumonia and it would endanger his life
if he should be forced to trial at this
time. Judge Hoffman read affidavits
made by DR.. Kuehne and DIR. Rooney
setting forth that Albanesius is very
weak and subject to fainting spells and
that he is suffering from vabvular lesion
of the heart. Under these conditions they
believe that the strain Of prolonged trial
would put his life in jeopardy.
Mr.. Winfield asked that in case a post
ponement was granted the case be not
put off for the term, as he wanted to get
it off his hands. Judge Hudspeth said it
would probably have to go off for the
term. if at ALL because he and Justice
LippincOtt were contemplating discharg
ing the jury. He ordered 1t off for the
term and imposed the cost on the defen-
dant. The costs amounted to $41.35.

STATE CAPITOL ON FIRE.
Pennylvania's Senators Have a
Lively Scramble to Get
Out Of the Chamber.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 2, 1Ss7.--F'ire
was discovered In Lieutenant Governor
Lyons room on the second floor Of the
main building of the Capitol shortly be-
fore one o'clock today The room is di-
rectly over the Senate Chamber and close
to the Senate elevator.
\ The Senate had taken a recess at 1925
until o'clock to await the reception
from the House of the amended Mitch
ell treasury resolution, and it was just
as President pro tenn. McCai:rolI was pre-
pairing to take the chair that a page
boy gave him the information that fire
had been discovered. 1t YVES thought at
first to be of a trivial nature and Chief
Clerk Smiley directed a bucket brigade
to go into service.
Meanwhile an alarm was sent in from
the Senate Library. The efforts of the
men with buckets were futile and they
returned with the information that the
flames were beyond their control
The Senate was well filled when this
news was received and it spread rapidly
among the Senators and spectators that
the fire was of most serious nature.
There was scrambling for overcoats
and hats and under the Chief Clerks di-
rection the Senate records were carried to
places Of safety. With the arrival of the
fire department came thousands of spec
tators and the Capitol park in the vicin-
ity Of the burning building was soon a
mass of struggling humanity. Before the
firemen could direct stream on the
burning building it was found that the
flames were beyond control

the immediate removal of her name from

breeze was caused when the report of the
delegates to the State convention was

BURGLAR SCARE ABSURD.
Chief Murphy Explodes Lying
Stories in the New
York Papers.

This morning Chief of Police Murphy
made the following interesting statement
to News reporter
Il would like to show you our January
report of burglaries, robberies and lar
cenies, so that you may let our people
judge for themselves whether there has
been any ground for the publication of
sensational stories to the effect that the
Heights were overrun with after mid
night robbers. The report I show you
gives q daily record of all felonious en-
tries, whether by day or night, also lar
cenies from the person by violence, or
not by violence, and larcenies other than
from the person or by felonious entry
into dwellings,.
In the Third precinct the only case
of felonious entry either by day or night
was at the residence of Mr.. Otto Weitsch,
No. 100 Palisade avenue. The thieves did
not take anything, as they were fright
ened off.
In the Fourth precinct no dwellings
were entered. Two grocery stores were
broken into and small amounts taken.
In the Fifth precinct one house was
entered. The thieves after coming out
with 50 worth of property, saw police
man block away, threw down the stolen
property, except coat, and fled.
I'm the Sixth precinct one house was
entered at night and three by day, $S5
worth of property being taken.
In the Seventh precinct only two
houses were entered in the night and one
during the day. One hundred and seven
dollars worth of property was taken. In
addition tox those thief attempted to
enter the residence of Mr.. o. H. Perry on
Bergen avenue, but was frightened away.
All else that remains as an excuse for
alarming our people on the Heights was
the assault on ex-Chief Nathan. The
man who hit the ex-Chief was beggar-
tramp; an impudent fellow who guessed
that Mr.. Nathan was not policeman
and struck him to save going to- sta
ton house. We know this beggar had ap-
piled for food at four houses that even
Ing. While this tramp would no doubt
steal anything he could get without TAX
ing too many chances, still he must not
be classed as midnight burglar. If all
such Iamps were house breakers we
would have to keep an army of police to
protect life and property in this city, as

ATTACKED BY A TooTPAD.
Miss Rees Held UP In a Narr ov
Lane on the Heights.

Miss Sadie Rees, of No. 70 Storm ave-
nue., was the object of daring and das-
tardly attack about eight o'clock last
night. She was on her way to Paramount
avenue through lane next door to No.
49, This lane adjoins the hot houses of
Florist A. Edwards and 1t is used as short
cut to Fairmount avenue.
The path is narrow ana dark and Miss
Rees waE nearly through when she was
starteled to hear deep voiced command,
Stand still" She however, began to
run, but the man was too quick, and
threw his arm around her and at the
same time drew pistol
He dragged her backward She
struggled fiercely, but could not scream
because the mans arms was around her
neck. The struggle continued for some
seconds, when Miss Rees managed to
break half loose and screamed. Her as
sailant clapped his hand over her mouth
and told her that he would shoot her If
she made the slightest noise. She, how
ever, yelled at the top of her lungs and
the man became frightened and released
her.
Her cries soon brought help and three

Of the noise. The brute, however, had
time to make good his escape before Miss
Rees could regain her composure enough
to tell her trouble. A thorough search
was made in the neighbortood for the
man Miss Rees describes as being sort
and stocky. She says he had mus
tache and wore light colored bicycle
cap. AS to any other details she was
at a loss to describe.
Miss Rees was assisted to her home,
and physician was summoned to pre-
scribe for her highly nervous state. This
morning she was feeling as well as usual
and congratulating herself on her narrow
escape. Miss Rees is the daughter of r.
Rees an electrician.
About a week ago Miss Daisy Brown
was held up at the same spot as was
Miss Rees last night. She, however, was
fortunate enough to escape everything
except the command to stop.

missioner Kaiser rendered his resigna-
ton to Mayor Wanser Mr.. Kaiser want
ed to enter upon his duties Us Boulevard

or two. President Brown wants to so

longer, and the Mayor, therefore, Is
anxious to have Mr.. Kaiser remain in

Kaiser will oblige the Mayor and remain
a Commissioner for a while longer.
