he GOT ON THE WRONG Oar.
Arthur Gate of This City Arrested by
the Conductor as a SHindler.

Arthur Gate, of No. 219 Grand street,
this city, made a grave mistake yester-
day afternoon in boarding a Sixth ave-
nue. car in New York City. He came
face to face with an old acquaintance in
the conductor, Jacob Balsam, who when
the car stopped at Jefferson Police Court
took Gate inside. There Balsam told
Magistrate Simms that in June, 1896, Gate,
who is 81 years old, was Vice-President
of the Lascelle Manufacturing Company,
with offices at No. 123 Liberty street. Bal
sam entered the company's employ and
deposited $500 cash security with Gate. 1t
took a lawyer some time to get 500 of the
security back, when Balsam left the en-
ploy of the company. Shortly afterward
both Gate and the company disappeared.
Balsam said he went before the Grand
Jury and had his former employer indict-
ed and that bench warrant was issued
for him. He did not see him until he got
on the car at Thirty-fourth street yester-
day, when he called a policeman and had
him arrested.
1t was too late to communicate with the
District Attorneys office, so Gate was re-
manded until today.

ARGUED WITH A BUNG STARTER
Saloenkeeper Kramer's Early Morn-
ing Call From His Landlord.

Frederick Kramer keeps a saloon at
Pierce avenue and Paterson street, Jer-
sey City Heights. Fred Cattaneo, his
landlord, conducts a wholesale wine and
liquor establishment in the basement of
the same building.
About 1880 o'clock this morning there
was a little gathering in Kramers saloon.
consisting of Kramer Cattaneo and the
latter's wife They had come to talk
pleasantly over business matters and as
a result of their pleasant conversation
Kramer exhibits several bumps on his
head which he says were brought into
existence by a bung starter welded by his
landlord. Mr.. Cattaneo is considerably
bruised and shaken up by contact with
his tenants brawny first, while Mrs.
Cattaneo yesterday exhibited to Justice
of the Peace Macs two black eyes which
she said were caused by contact with
Kramer's hard hitting right. AS a result
Of this little pleasantly it is said that
Justice Macs has issued warrant for
Kramer's arrest.
This is Kramers story:-"About seven
o'clock Cattaneo and his wife came into
my store and commenced abusing me
about the water which was leaking from
the water trough back of the bar into
their place in the basement 1 had often
complained about this and asked Cat
taneo to have it repaired, but he did not
do it. We had some words and put him
out. About half hour later he returned
with his wife and renewed the quarrel I

ACTING CHIEF NUGBnT ON DECK
First Time In Years a Democrat Has
Commanded the Force.

For the first time in very many years
Jersey City today had a Democratic Chief
of Police in the person of Captain Tom
Nugent, of the Greenville precinct, who
was by virtue of seniority and absence of
both Chief and Inspector, Acting Chief of
Police, and for the matter of that Act
ing Inspector, too.
Chief Of Police Murphy's vacation ends
today, and Inspector Lange. who has been
acting Chief during the formers vaca-
ton, began his holidays today, hence the
command of the force devolved on Cap
tain Nugent, who takes seniority of Cap
tain Cox These two were the only peb-
bles on the beach today.
Acting Chief Nugent bore the honors
thrust upon him with his customary mod
esty. He did not order any shake-up of
the department, and since he is very
popular with the members from Captain
down to doorman, work went along very
smoothly.
"You better get back very soon,' he
said to Inspector Lange, with hearty
laugh, "or you may have some trouble in
Citing me out of this place"

BRUNo's UNwELOoMED GUESTS.
Tive Mon Break Into His House and
Take Possession of His He'd.

Greenville lately has become overrun
with burglars, highwaymen and tramps,
and the small force of police out there
have their hands full looking after these
lawbreakers. Almost daily complaints
are received by the police of the tramps
who come in on the freight trains over
the Central Railroad and bother the peo-
pie in the vicinity of Garfield avenue by
coming to their houses three and four
times day. When a tramp goes TO a
house and gets something to eat he will
make mark on the gate post to let his
pals know where they are almost sure OF
getting meal.
Captain Nugent broke up a gang of
tramps in Greenville recently, and they
stayed away for some time but now some
of them are coming back again. On the
extreme end of Vreeland's farm, which is
at the foot of Danforth avenue, stands
an old dilapidated shanty which has stood
there for dozen or more years Mr..
vreeland having no use for it gave Albert
Bruno, an old man about sixty years old,
permission to use it for his home The
old fellow fitted it up the best way he
could, and for the last two or three years
has been living there He makes his liv-
and selling them. Bruno is very quiet
old man, but the police say that he was
tough character in his time.
About two o'clock yesterday morning
Bruno made his appearance at the Ocean
avenue station house, and told Sergeant
Mclaughlin that couple of men had
broken in his house, and pulling him out
of bed kicked him out of the house. Ser
geant Mclaughlin sent Patrolman Nc
Donough down to Bruno's house, and he
found two young fellows asleep in the
bed. McDonough yanked them out and
took them to the station house. When
asked by the Sergeant why they had
broken into Bruno's house they said that
Bruno had invited them to come and
sleep there Bruno denies this. and says
the men deliberately broke into his house.
The fellows gave their names as John
Ferguson, % years old, and Patrick Gillen
% years DID, They were fined $5 a piece
in court yesterday morning, but in de
fault of payment went to jail for thirty

A DISCRIMINATING DONKEY.
Mr.. Doyle's Prize monstratsd That
He Knew a Thing or Two.

Among the attractions at st. Bridget $
Church fair last week was a genuine
Irish donkey At least the animals ma
tionality was so advertised. The adver-
tisement was probably correct judging
from the donkey's performances yester-
day evening. He was disposed of by
chances at st. Bridget's fair, and Michael
Doyle, the well known saloonkeeper at
Montgomery and Van Worst street, had
the winning ticket. mot having any per-
sonal use for the donkey Mr.. Doyle de-
termined to make him money carrier at
st. Peters Church garden party.
Yesterday evening Mr.. DoyIes son John
and the Italian nobleman who shines
shoes in front of the saloon, brought the
donkey down from Burke's stable. Before
taking him over to the garden party they
took him into the saloon to get some re-
sfreshments John Doyle had been in
formed that the donkey was addicted to
the beer habit, and decided to test the
correctness of his information.
The donkey was led up to the front of
the bar, and there was no trouble what
ever in leading him there. He ordered a
schooner of beer, or rather the beer was
ordered for him. William Kelly, the
genial gentleman who presides at the
back of the bar, was somewhat dubious
about the donkey having any taste for
beer, but he filled up schooner. The
Italian held the glass to the donkey's S
mouth and the donkey gulped the beer
down and smacked his lips afterward,
showing that he liked it. He looked APP
pealingly at Mr.. Kelly as if he wanted
more but Mr. Kelly drew the line at one
glass, as the donkey was not cash GUS
toner.
The Italian tried to mount him, and
thereby stirred up the donkey's Irish
blood. He resented the Italians famil-
iarity in a manner which clearly demon
strated that he had no use for Italians.
He was finally taken over to st. Peters
garden party and earned considerable
money by carrying children around the
enclosure on his back for five cents each.

At REVOLVHR'S MOUTH
High Handed Proceedings Of a
Collector for Lembeck &
Betz's Brewery to Get a
Mans License.

If the story told by Robert Feinnen, a
youth of about nineteen years, who acted
as bartender for William Cookson, in the
latter's saloon at Hancock avenue and
South street, is true, he had memorable
experience at about 11:30 o'clock on the
morning of Wednesday last.
According to His statement, made to a
reporter yesterday afternoon, he had the
opportunity of gazing down the muzzle
of a loaded revolver, held in the hand OF
one Charles Armbruster. collector for
the Lembeck & Betz Brewing Company
and see Armbruster remove from its place
behind the bar of his employers saloon
Cookson's license.
AS a result of this unexpected event Mr.
Cookson was notified by the Webster ave-
nue. police, yesterday. to discontinue the
sale of liquor until he obtains the return
of his license. This Mr.. Cookson is at
present doing, to his utter disgust and
considerable financial loss. He threatens
dire vengeance.
Cookson will be remembered as the man
who disappeared some. time ago when
wanted by the authorities as a witness
in an arson case of which a prominent
Heights resident was the defendant. He
returned recently and engaged in business
at the address givenl Usually with places
of this character the license is owned by
the brewer, who merely loans it to the
dealer during the time that the latter
sells his beer. 1t could not be learned that
such was the case with Cookson, but from
the story told by the bartender it APP
pears that it is.
Feinnen said:-"My employer used to
keep Lembeck & Betz's beer, but changed
to the Hill Brewing Company. When
Armbruster, who was the collector for
the former company, came into the saloon
and asked to see the license said could
not show it to him as the boss had in
structed me not to. ArmbruSter then
threatened to go behind the bar and get
it if I did not produce it. 1 told him if
he attempted to do so 1 would put him
out. He then produced a revolver, which
he levelled at me, saying: I will lay you
cold if you interfere with me-, and walk
ing behind the bar took the license and
left the place"
1t is said that Cookson has retained
Counsellor George A. Ryerson to prose-
cute Armbruster criminally.
Charles Armbruster could not be seen.
His brother William spoke for him.
.'Cookson," he said, got Lembeck & Betz
to buy him license and agreed in return
70 use their beer; He then went to the
Peters Brewing Company and gave them
a mortgage for $500 on his goods, repre-
senting that he had paid for the license
and agreeing to use their beer. My
brother went to his place and took the
license which belongs to Lembeck & Betz
use force or not, but he might have if
he met with opposition

fingers, each loaf going through a num-
Der of hands before delivered at the con-

bare, often not too clean fingers of the
servant The recent improvement,w which
has been covered by patents, consists of
using paper bags the exact shape of the
various sizes of bread turned out by the
baker.
These bags are open at both ends, and,
being slightly longer than the loaf, the
ends are turned together with a twist as
the loaf. is showed from the oven straight

bread from any pollution after it leaves
