\ 1t is not known exactly how extensive
his operations have been, but they are
humorous enough To show that the man
has been living on the product of crime
for q long time, and that he Is the
author of many robberies In the centre OIL

A good many persons have wondered ior
3 long time how Rice made living ana

existence in this way. Developments,
however, show that he was slick thief

who has been giving the police palpita-
tion OF the heart for, several months, be-
cause of his ability TO eluds discovery.
1t was almost an accident that led TO his
capture at this time.
After he was srrested for breaking. and
entering Kings bury's market Detective
Parker shrewdly guessed that be might
be wanted for other Offences, and the
search of his room Justified tho guess.

Before the ". M. q. A.
IT has been a long while since the Young
Mems Christian Association has brought
to this city a more instructive and inter-
esting speaker than the Rev. Samuel
Frende who spoke yesterday afternoon,
under their auspices, in the Wayne Street
Reformed Church. The auditorium OF the
church was filled when the former rabbi
began his address on THE Hebrews of
Today" The meeting opened with prayer
by President E. S. Cowles of the Y. M.
c. A.. and Scripture reading by Secretary
Brown. William J. Mackin nducte the
singing.
From beginning to end Mr.. Frender held
the closest attention of the entire au-
dience. He spoke of there being 100000
Jews in the world, 100000 of whom were
in the United States and 200, 1000 in New
York alone. After describing the perse-
~cutions of his people, he told how the
United States had been foremost OF all
nationalities in protecting them Many
passages of Scripture were explained
showing their meaning from the prac-
tees of the orthodox Jews.
Mr.. Frender exhibited ancient phylac-
ferries. ETC., and at the close invited the
audience to partake of shew bread, when
he distributed to many. The position OF
the Jews in history, espeelaily III VI ~
Divine plan, were very clearly SHOWN; MT.
Frender said thai the best proof OF the
inspiration of the Bible was to De seen
in the history of the Jewish people. so
pleased was every one with the ADDRESS
fbat an effort will be made to have Mr..
Frender return soon and give ms great
talk on the .'Talmud.

Judge Garretson,s s.No.,,

In the light of events, the wise sayings
Of some newspapers are amusing. One
day, last week, for instance, the ''Tri-
bune'' said
The committee is being congratulated
on the selection of counsel. Mr.. Garrett
son is a Jersey City lawyer of high stand
ing. thoroughly familiar with affairs in
Hudson, and the fact hat he is a Dem
the investigation was purely a partisan
affair.
The committee displayed a good deal of
low cunning in trying to get a reputable
Democrat to pull their chestnuts out of
the fire. The idea is so very a~ttorneyish
tina we feel convinced it terminated in
the narrow gauge of John w. Griggs.
But the Tribune should not have given
the snap away so frankly. Perhaps the
game might have worked better if the
organs had not joined in a chorus of
ehortles of this description
Every day makes clearer the fact that
the Assembly Investigating Committee
played a trump card~in asking ex-Judge

cepted by decent Democrats throughout
the State as a guarantee that the COM
mfttee seeks the truth in Hudson county,
and cares nothing about the personality
Or politics of the individuals affected.
UnfortunateIy-for the organs and for
The committee-decent Democrats, includ-
ing Judge Garretson, very plainly per-
reived the meaning of his selection, and
the gentleman himself realized that he
would be in neither in a graceful nor adj
~gantageous position acting as catspaw to
he Republican State Committee.
Therefore, the s.Tribune's" chortles read
l. trife funnily today, and the commit
ZEE and its hackers are by no means
enjoying the joke. Rebuffs from two
audso lawyers do not tend to increase
The public confidence in the subsequent
proceedings People are beginning to
think it must be a very nasty game in
iced when neither Republican nor DEM
,erat win u it.

10 HAemorrha@e Of The pErain.

w ~
Roundsman Frank Duffy of the Oak
land avenues police station. in Jersey
City, virtually died at his post at four
o'clock his morning. His wife and two
doctors were with him when the end
came. Duffy was on reserve duty in the
station house yesterday afternoon when
he was suddenly seized with a ~fainting
spell and felt severe pains in his head.
Before assistance could arrive he was
PROSTATE upon the floor. Two of the men
carried HIM upstairs and placed him in
bed. Drs. Buffet and Culver were sum
moned at once. They examined him and
pronounced his case an aggravated hem
orrhage of the brain. Police Surgeon
Nevin was also summoned and agreed
with the other doctors. that Duffy's
chances for life were slim indeed. His
wife was sent for and was soon at the
bedside of the dying man. She n the
doctors remained with him until, the
end came this morning. Duffy died
without regaining consciousness.
Frank Duffy was appointed a patroiman
on the Jersey City police force on July
Is, 1886. He was promoted roundsman De-

GRBBNvILLE's OFFICE SEEKERS.
Messrs. Petty aud Rose Anxious 20
Serve UIuder Prosecutor Erwin.

Serve Hinder Prosecutor Erwin.
There is still one more candidate in the
field for a position under James Erwin,
Hudson's future Prosecutor. Captain
Charles Rose, who was president of the
League Club in Greenville, is the new as
pirant. There are tnow only two from
that club who want a job in the new
Prosecutors office, Henry Petty being the
other. One might be led to believe that
the two men were working in opposition
to each other, but such is not the case,
for the best of feelings exist between the
two men. MI. Petty, who is president
of the League Club, received the indorse-
ment of the club a short time ago, but
that signifies nothing, as the members ex-
press their willingness to indorse Captain.
Rose should he want their Endorsement.
Captain Rose said last evening that If
any appointment was coming to Green
vile, he thought he was entitled to it.
He asso said hat he had been working
quietly for some time among his friends
and thai his petition had been sent in
some time ago. Petty is also working
hard for a berth, and says that he will
be very much disappointed if he fails to
get there. 1T is the unanimous opinion
Of the people in Greenville that hat sec
ton of the city will get nothing. as there
are other parts of the county to be con-
Sidered.

Nuggets of Klondike gold are the prev

set into scarf pins, but some ladies nave
carried the fad SO far as to have them
pendant from their ears. They are SO
heavy thai they soon distort the lobes OF
the ears to such an extent that the 1ao IS
not likely to endure for long in that dlrec-

War IN LAFAYETTE.
Battery Advocates Batter As
ISOLATION Men-W What Is
It All About ?

Til meeting last Friday evening of the
Lafayette Republican Association was al
most devoid OF politics, and only the usual
routine business was transacted. The
trouble between the Lafayette Republican
Battery and the Association was not dis
cussed, and the members refused to talk
about II after the meeting.
As "The News stated a short time ago,
there Will be no harmony between the two
clubs. A reporter of THE News" last
evening visited the clubhouse of the Bat
terry on Pacific avenue, and interviewed
Freebooter zumbusch on the status of the
trouble between the two clubs.
Il wish 1 could tell you just nat the
trouble is.' said Mr.. zumbusch, but /
cannot. We nave been trying for some
time past 10 fathom the cause of the
but the members of the Association viii
not talk and we cannot get any Informal
tion. OF course, you know the Associa-
ton cannot harm us in any way, for We
beat them at all primaries at least $50
majority, but they did work heart and soul
against me when l ran for Freeholder a
year ago. | was elected, as you know,
by q fair majority"
Boulevard Superintendent John Kaiser
of the Battery was next asked about the
trouble. He said:-'The row
the fuss between the Minks and Leaguers
in Greenville, but l had no doubt that
they had cause to disagree. None is APP
parent in this ward. At least / have failed
to see it, and do not know why the assoc
citation should pull against us"
Counselor Englis, also a staunch member
of the Battery, aired his views on the
trouble. He said, Very nearly all the
members of the Association were members
of this club before the Association started
and Mr.. Barker was President. The Bat
terry then did not have the fine quarters
it has now. The members of the Battery
were led to believe that the Association
was to be organized for social purposes
only and politics were not to pc touched.
Joined the Association under that impress
sion, but on learning that the CLUB was 70
be a political one, and that it was TO pun
against the Battery, why they resigned.
That's how the Association came to pc
organized about three years ago, and MT.
Barker, our President at the time was one
Of the organizers. The members OF tn9
Battery did not know what was up, and
wondered why the old members nould &c
back on the club and start a new organl-
cation. All this time We have been try
ing to find out what the kick is. and have
appointed numerous committees to meet
them more HI half way. but they re-
fuse TO do anything and simply. ignore us.
We will welcome any or the AsSoelauon
any time. We have no hard feelings
against tina association, and would pc
only too much pleased to help them out IL
Meanwhile the Association people are
mum on the subject, and will tell nothing
about the breach.

HoB0KEN POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS
The Office in That City Has a New
Cancellfng stamp.

Postmaster James Curran has succeeoed
in introducing in the Hoboken Postof1ce
department one of the latest style cancel
ing machines.
Saturday afternoon the "half-past
three MALL which comprises all the let
tiers brought in by the carriers on their
first afternoon trip, and which contained
over 500 letters, was cancelled by the ma
him in exactly one minute and nine sec
onds. In the ordinary way of conceliing
by hand it would v taken nearly
twenty minutes hard work on the part OF
the cancelling clerk. With the aid of the
machine he is now Enabled to do his
work of cancelling in a remarkably brief
space of time, which gives him an oppor-
tunity to perform other duties in the
office.
The motive power for the new machine
is furnished by a small electric motor.
Postmaster Curran and Assistant Post,
master La Pointe were greatly pleased
with the new machine and feel confident
that their efforts to keep up with the
times will be appreciated by the citizens
of this city.
