LUDA9g'S BOLD ESCAPE
He Forces Apart Stout Bars at
the Snake Hill Asylum and
Gains Liberty.

The keepers Of the Hudson County In
sane Asylum and the police of this city
are engaging in a sman hunt this morn
ing. They are securing the woods and
marches of the Hackensack and the
streets of Jersey City for John Bradley,
a powerfully built 1unatfc, who made a
remarkable and daring escape from the
asylum at Snake Hill this morning. 1t
was made almost within sight of the
keepers and. yet was not discovered by
them until Bradley was well out of their
way.
The inmates of the asylum began TO
stir shortly before daybreak. As soon as
they were up the Keepers began to get
out the working squads which clean out
the buildings every morning. Bradley
was in corridor No. i on the first floor
He had been greatly improved of late and
had been given more freedom than is
usually accorded the patients. TIL keep
ers considered him one of their best
corridors and the rooms adjoining. as
usual, this morning, and no particular
attention was paid to him.
Finally. just after day break. one of the
keepers was startled to find the iron bars
WHICH SudTQ the W4iutW d. II ShN ~
the corridor, forced aside, making a space
sufficient to permit the passage of a mans
body. The alarm was given at once and
a count of the patients was made II
was found that Bradley was missing,
Once before. when he was first placed in
the asylum, he escaped, but it was by
walking through the rear door, which
had been carelessly left open. He is a
very large man and is possessed OF great
strength. 1t was apparent on closer ex-
animation of the window through which
he escaped this morning. that he had
wrenched the bars aside without the aid
of any implement or agency other than
his own hands.
Mrs. Bradley. wife of the fugitive, lives
at No. 143 Eighth street. 1t is thought
probable that he will work his way to-
wards his home. Policemen are guarding
the house and are watching all the ave-
nue. into the city. Bradley will probably,
with the cunning of the %lunatic, work
his way INTO the city by a cireuitous
route or remain hidden in the swamps
until nightfall.
Mrs. Bradley has been notified of her
husbands escape and is greatly alarmed
for his safety.

/ BQVERY HOTEL.
Salvation Army to Run a Lodge
ing House 10 Competition
With the Montauk.

Werkmen are rapidly Transforming the
building. No. SO Montgomery street, for
mesly OCCUPIED by the First District
Court and a umbe of law offices, into
a hotel OF the Bowery type.
Few persons who have noted the alter
ations which are being made in the build
ing are aware of the fact that rne Sal
walton Army has leased it and that 1T
will become a part of the great social
scheme of that organization. Such is
the fact, however, and within three
weeks the building will be opened by the
Salvation Army as a lodging house for
men. where a bed can be had for ten
cents a night or less if that amount is
not forthcoming. 1t will be known as
shelter and will be in charge of a Sal
walton Army officer, who has not yet
been selected.
The social branch of the army work,
which includes the shelter work, is in
charge of Lieutenant Colonel Holz. He is
experimenting all the arrangements for
the lodging house in his city. There
are four floors available for the work.
Three of these will be fitted with iron
for the dodgers. The second floor. which
was formerly used for court purposes,
will contain a wash room and a reading
room for the dodgers. The two front
rooms. formerly occupied by the clerk of
he court, will be fitted up as the office
and living apartments of the superintend-
emit of the shelter"
1t is said that the lodging house will
seriously affect the business of old estab-
lished concerns. especially the Montauk,
which is located next door to the old
court building. as the rates charged are
much cheaper tina have ever before
been offered in this city. The shelter is
not a charity but is run on a money
making basis.

TO PLAY HANDBALL FOB $500.
Carney and Fitzgerald We're Matched
i'm sEhas City Matched.

The largest crowd that has been present
at the Jersey City Handbal Court this
season was on hand yesterday to wateh
the important games that were scheduled.
They were favored with the finest exhibit
ton in the match between Carney and
Mike Egan of the Jersey City Club, and
James Fitzgerald and James Duane of
Brooklyn. 1t was the first time in the
game that these teams have paired, and
the rivalry between them was, as expect
ed, the motive for the hardest kind OF
playing. Each contestant did his best in
the four games and the result was even.
The Brooklyns won the first and third
games. There were other exciting games
also. At the end of the games the final
arrangements were brought to a close IN
the match for the worlds championship
and $500 between William Carney, the
present holder, and James Fitzgerald, the
ex-champlen. John Egan and Prof. Cog
gins, the respective hackers of the two
men, put up $500 each.
The first man to win six games will
get the money. The first five will be
played at the Brooklyn court on April p,
and the remaining anne at the Jersey
City Court on MayX These two cracks
are pretty evenly matched, and it would
not be surprising if ten or eleven con-
tests were necessary to decide the match.

been rivals of the South Hudson team in
all branches of sport and in this the
latest to be adopted by both clubs the
Crickets met with their usual success.
New Jersey played harder than ever, and
after the first half had matters pretty
much their own way, winning by 4
goals to 0. They scored a goal in the first
and three in the last half. All were made
by Koehler. The teams lined up in this
