NIB. KERR AND THE FOLDING BED
II Falls Upon and Severely Injuries
Film

William A. Kerr, of No. 1,103 Garden
street, Hoboken, Secretary of the Hobo
ken Board of Public Instruction, pur-
chased a new folding bed for his wife and
himself about two weeks ago, and it is
ten chances out of one if he will ever
purchase another one
About seven o'clock this morning Mrs.
Kerr got up out of bed and dressed her
self for the purpose of going downstairs
and preparing her husbands breakfast,
leaving him in bed. She had just about
descended half way down the stairs when
she heard a crash that shook the whole
house, and hurrying back to the room she
had just left she saw her husband in the
middle of a lot of bed Stats and the mat
tress and part of the bed lying on his
back.
She then tried to release her husband,
but she had not enough strength to do
so. She then called up Mr.. Allen and Mr..
Cruder, two friends of Mr.. Kerr who had
been stopping at his house, and it was
fully five minutes before Mr.. Kerr could
be removed from under the bed Dr.
Simon was then called in, and after he
examined Mr.. Kerr, said that he had in
jured his spine, and that he would prob
ably be kept in bed for at least two weeks
but it will not be a folding bed.

Two Gangs of Thieves Taken
by New York Police
Many Jersey Crimes.

NEW YORK, Dec. IT, 1S97-Two gangs
of notorious burglars have been rounded
I'D by the police of this city. One gang
consists of Andrew Craig, alias Fairy
Mcguire; Edward Farrell. alias Ned Nal
laty. and Edward Mason, alias Ed. Nc
Gee. and Martin McCloskey. Although
the three first named have been under
arrest since Wednesday, their identity
and records were not disclosed by the
police until today, when McCloskey was
captured MCGEE and McCloskey are,
without doubt, the police say, the two
men who robbed the store of Albert Apra-
ham. at No. "a North Ninth street, Phila-
delphia, and obtained $1,000 worth OF
jewelry. The men are alleged to have
acted in concert, and their arrest was
due to a particularly bold attempt to rob
a delicatessen store safe in this city on
December 5 last. They blew the safe
open with dynamite and although tnere
were several thousands OF COLLARS III II,
they only obtained $l4
All the men are in the Rogue's Gallery

the crimes for which Farrell has served
time are:-Robbing a piano dactory "a 70 casn,
ier of $3.50 in 1877; taking $2,4O0 from

land Prison, England, for famous rob
berry at Starr's jewelry store on Fifth
avenue, this city. In 1893 MCGEE was SEN
fenced to four years for stealing S50O

are Charles Baker, who was sent to FL
mira in 1893 for robbing the Charity Or
ganization offices of $500 worth of jewel
nv in 1885, John G. Baker, who arrived a
short time ago from a successful trip to

CALLAHAN In TROUBLE AGAIN
Attempts to whip Detective and
Will Go 10 Fail

John Callahan, IS years old, of No. 125
Essex street. created scene in the First
Criminal Court this morning. He was ar
rested on Exchange place, last night, by
Patrolman Pritchard and was arraigned
before Justice Potts this morning for be-
ing drunk and raising disturbance. JUS
tice Potts said:-"Callahan, you have
been arrested number of times and have
been excused by the Court. The officers
say that you are a perfect demon when
you get drink in you. You have it in
you now and I think it will take about
thirty days in the County Jail to get it
OUT
"I don't like that, Your Honor said
Callahan, and then he proceeded to show
just how much demon there was in him.
He had hardly entered the pen when he
began pounding on the door and cursing
at the top of his voice. Detective Doug
lass opened the door and ordered him to
keep quiet. Instead of doing SO Callahan
made a dash at Douglass and struck him.
Douglass pushed him with such force as
to hurl him across the pen and land him
on the floor on the broad of his back.
Callahan got up and made at Douglass
again. Detective Bennett went to Doug
lass assistance and the two detectives
finally succeeded in getting Callahan
down stairs and into cell.

Court-His Plea Revenge
-Fiereely Kissed.
inv cable to rhe Aggoelated presg.l


LONDON, Dec. II, 1S97.-Richard Arthur
Prince, known as MAD Archer" the
super who yesterday evening, stabbed
and killed William Terriss, the well
! known actor, as the latter was upon the
point of entering the stage door of the
Adelphi Theatre in order to take part In
the presentation of Secret Service was
arraigned at Bow Street Police Court to-
day, charged with the crime and was re-
manded until Wednesday next.
A surveyor named Graves, who accom-
panied Mr. Terriss to the theatre, told
the story of the stabbing, substantially as
cabled to the Associated Press last
night.
A policeman, Bragg, testified that the
prisoner had remarked that he had stab
bed Mr.. Terriss for revenge, as the actor
had debarred him from employment for
ten years past and had forced him either
to die in the street or be revenged upon
him.
The prisoner also accused Mr.. Terriss
of blackmailing him in connection with
the theatrical fund.
As the prisoner left the dock he was
loudly Kissed and hooted by those present
in and about the court room. Prince was
deadly pale.
[. The people present in the Police Court
were mainly actors and actresses Sew
eral of the latter were Historically affect
ed during the taking of the evidence.
Prince, the assassin, is intelligent IN
appearance, his sallow skin, restless eyes
and brow perpetually wrinkled, giving
him an air of cunning. His posture and
demeanor were most callous. 1t was ap-
parent that he felt he was playing a
| party which would command the eyes and
ears of the audience and he leaned on the
rail in a tragic attitude and twirled his
small dark mustache diabolically at al
lusions which caused the audience to
shudder. In fact, the prisoner even larigh-
ed at one remark of witness
Several letters were found upon the
prisoner from members of the Royal fam
lily and other prominent people, including
the Duke and Duchess of York, replying
to the prisoners congratulations upon the
birth of their son and one from Princess
Beatrice {Prncess Henry of BattenbeFg),
upon the occasion of her husbands death.
A third of these letters was from Mr.
Gladstone, in reply to birthday congrat-
ulations.
There was a sensation in the court
room when the Inspector of Police, in
charge OF the case, produced the butch
er's knife with which the murder was
committed 1t has wooden handle, six
inches long and on the blade are three
patches of encrusted blood

REPUBLICAN, PLANS.
Senator johnson Talks Of
Measures to Come Be-
fore the Legislature.

State Senator William M. Johnson of
Bergen, who is a possible President OF
the Senate at the Forthcoming session OF
the Legislature, was in Chancery Cham
bers in this city this morning and had
something to say about the work of the
Legislature in general and his particular
share of it. Senator Johnson has watched
the Erie track elevation movement with
much interest and he thinks it would be
an excellent thing to introduce bill com
pelling the railroad companies to elevate
their tracks in villages, townships and all
cities which have not the power at pres
ent to abolish grade. crossings.
'In a great many places throughout the
State,'' explained the Senator, railroad
crossings over turnpikes and through
public streets are merely protected by
gates. Now, this is bad and I have
drafted a bill to abolish all crossings of
this character and compel the companies
to elevate or tunnel.
Senator Johnson said that in thirty
States Of the Union such a law was in
force, and its operations in abolishing
grade crossings had been exceedingly
successful. The bill which the Senator
proposes to introduce will authorize the
Governor to appoint a commission of
three members VINO will have power to
regulate the matters pertaining to grade
crossings. In the States of Massachu-
setts and Connecticut there is a similar
commission, and Senator Johnson has
used the best features of these bills in his
measure
The Senator continuing, said that SO far
as the Republican members were con-
cerned, they would push through the
necessary work as rapidly as possible. The
Legislature, he said, would be busy with
the revision of the. statutes, such as the
District Court, Practice and Jury acts.
Z The Republicans, he said, had been i'm
portuned to do something about introduce
ing a bill to wipe out the County Board of
Freeholders and substitute a commission
but he said the difficulty confronting them
was what to substitute in the place of the
present board.
Equal taxation, he said, would no
doubt be the principal feature, but on
that subject he had little information.
Senator Johnson wound up with a com
plant to Senator Voorhees, and reiterated
the statement that he would be the act
ing Governor.

The Street and Water Commissioners

from delinquents unless they make settle
ment.
The delinquent selected was w. A.
Karcher of Nos. 115 and III st. Paul's
and since 1898 has paid no water rent.
He has also refused to make a settle
ment. The amount he owes the city is
s348 There appeared to be no hope of
recovering the amount due and the Com
missioners concluded that it would be un-
fair to other consumers to allow him to
use water and pay nothing for it. Karch-

suing the city.
It is probable that other delinQuents
will also have their supply cut off in a
