POLICEMAN HAD His WATCH.
Chris flicker Loses His Timspiece in
a Peculiar Manner.

While the crowds of Christmas eve
shoppers were thickest along upper New
ark avenue Saturday night, Patrolnaan
Sergeant O'Brien, Of the Oakland avenue
station, was caught in 9 jam in onesof the
narrowest portions of the sidewalk. In
pushing his way through he felt a sudden
Jerk at one Of the brass buttons Of MS
coat. Looking down he was surprised 10
find a gold watch and chain dangling
from the disturbed button. He was non
plussed for the moment, but quickly re-
covered from his surprise. He felt sure
that somebody's watch chain had caught
on the button and in the brush of the
Jam had pulled somebody's watch from
his vest pocket.
The watch belonged to Chris. IIcksr,
lessee Of the Avenue House. Mr.. Ticker
had not discovered his loss when the Ser
geanr asked him If he had missed his
watch.

Central Railroad Death Trap.

If Mayor Hoos wants a good subject
on which to write a letter, let him AXE
up the outrageous condition of the
bridges crossing the cut of the Newark
and New York Railroad in this city.
They are an outrage on the community
and a disgrace to the wealthy Central
Railroad Company, which ignores the
public safety with criminal recklessness.
The entire cut. from Arlington to West
Side Avenue Station, is in an unprotected
condition; but the worst spots are at Ar
lington avenue and Clerk street. At
both places life and limb are in daily
and hourly danger. Clerk street offers
of the most dangerous spots in a
radius of a hundred miles about New
York City Hall.
On both the north and south side, of
the cut, there is no protection whatever
to pedestrians. and if eve a runaway
team comes down the street from Union
street southwark, it win never stop till
It lands in the bottom of the cut, sixty
feet below street level. II is a wonder
that some CHASTITY accident has not al
ready taken place.
If it is not within the power of the
Street and Water Board to have this
death trap ~renedied, Mayor Hoos should
go before the Grand Jury on behalf of
the city and procure the Indictment Of
the company.
