FREEBOoTERs TO PLEAD.
outline of the Defence to the Two
Indictments Against Them.

1t was rumored at the Court House this
morning that the Freeholders would be
arraigned to plead to the two indict-
ments against them, one for maintaining
a nuisance in failing to keep the Boule-
yard in proper repair and the other for
exceeding their appropriations. The pres
ence of several Freeholders at the office
of the Board gave color to the rumor,
but it proved to be groundless after all.
Former Judge Thomas F. Noonan will
be one of the counsel for the defence 1t
is understood that the defence to the in
dictment for maintaining a nuisance will
be that the road was damaged by unusu-
ally heavy storms and that the damage
was repaired as speedily as possible with
the limited means at their command.
The defence to the other Indictment
will be that they found an Indebtedness
when they went into office, which was
left over by their predecessors, and it had
to be paid or else the county would be
involved in a number of lawsuits which
would cause additional expense.

Capt. Cox Raids an Opium
Joint First Exposed by
the News"

Spread upon a table in the office OF
Chief of Police Murphy this morning was
a full gambling outfit and an opium lay
out. They were captured yesterday
afternoon by Police Captain Cox and De-
tective Larkins. Unfortunately the, gam
blers to whom they belonged were not
taken with them. To '-The News be-
longs the credit for the capturing of the
outfit
About two weeks before Captain Far
rier fell into disgrace because of his fall
ure to raid a number of disorderly
houses and other questionable places in
the First Precinct. 'sThe News called
attention to the fact that an opium joint
was running full blast in the precinct.
After Captain Farrier had been sent to
the suburbs one of the first things Cap
tain Cox, his successor, ATTEMPTED to do
was to locate that opium joint. Luck was
with him.
He had not been in command many
days before man who gave the name
of Phillip Menke called at the Gregory
street station and complained that his
! landlord had seized his effects because he
had fallen behind with his board bill. Hs
wanted Capt. Cox to assist him In get
VIM. O'Keefe at No. 225 Grand street.
where he had two rooms on the top floor.
Larkins went to the house to inyesti-
gate and not being satisfied with the looks
OF Menke examined his belongings and
TO his astonishment and great delight
found that he had complete opium lay
out and all the objects necessary to gam
bier uses in practising his profession.
Larkins told O'Keefe to detain Menke
should he call for his things and on some
excuse or another keep him until the
police could be summoned.
That was over six weeks ago. The po-
lice waited until yesterday in the hone
that Menke would return for his outfit
but he had evidently become aware of
their intentions and failed to do So Yes
terday afternoon Captain Cox decided to
wait no longer and seized the entire para
phernalia. All the articles were there for
the shell game, under and over: seven, the
pivot game sweat-board, peg and ball and
other games for catching suckers.
The layout was just such as was often
seen on the sands at Coney Island in
McKane's time. Chief Murphy believes
that Menke and his partner, for the po-
lice learned that he had a partner, made
business of following circuses and ooun-
try fairs and worked whatever game best
suited the locality in which they hap
pened to be.
What the police prize more highly than
the gambling layout or even the counter
felt quarters, a large quantity of which
were found, is the opium outfit. This in
cludes several pipes and all things neces-
sary to running an opium joint.
1t is known that while Menke was
boarding at the Grand street house he
lured many suckers in there and fleeced
them. A picture of two men and as many
women hitting the pipe was taken with
the other stuff.

Nice Little Schemes to Rob store
Nipped in the Bud and the Men Cap

Nice Little Schemes TO ROD StOESs
NIpped In the Bud and the Men Cap
Detective Kerrigan saw three young
men acting suspiciously in the upper sec
tion of Hoboken, yesterday afternoon,
and kept them under surveillance. He
saw them enter A. Woelper's dry goods
store. at No. 110S Washington street. and
when they reappeared one of the men
carried a silk umbrella. Kerrigan foi-
lowed them At Sixth and Garden streets
the men went into August Neuner
saloon and tried to work an old game
One of the men saw an overcat hanging
in the saloon and tried to walk off with
it. but the bartender employed by Neuner
saw him before he could get away The
man then ran out into the street, leaving
his two pals in the saloon. The police
think that such scheme was concocted
by the men for the purpose of inducing
Neuner to run after the man., when those
left behind could rob him.
Detective Kerrigan was secreted IN a
store opposite the saloon where he could
watch their movements without being
observed. He saw one of the men leave
the saloon hurriedly, but made no effort
to pursue him. He quietly awaited de-
velopments as he suspected that the men
were working a game. Neuner ran after
the man who tried to steal his overcoat,
but was unable to capture him.
The two men in the saloon were about
to tap the money drawer when Kerrigan
entered and placed them under arrest.
They were so completely taken by sur
prise that they made no effort to escape.
At Police Headquarters the prisoners de-
scribed themselves as Fred Cassidy and
George Sheldon, which the police suspect
are fictitious names. They were charged
with suspicion.
AS soon as they were locked up Kerri-
gan telephoned to Detective Quinn, who
was stationed at the lower Hoboken
ferry. to be on the outlook for the man
who had attempted to steal Neuner $
coat. He gave a description of the man.
Quinn saw man lettering around the
ferry who tailed with the description OIL
the man wanted and arrested him. The
man described himself as Thomas Clark,
twenty-three years old. of No. 225 West
Twenty-sixth street. New York
Kerrigan identified Clark as the man
who had attempted to steal Neuner $
oyercoat. Neuner also identified him. A.
Woelper identified the three men, Clark,
Cassidy and Sheldon, as the men VINO
had entered his dry goods store and
stolen silk umbrella. Sheldon when ar
rested carried an umbrella which Woelper
identified as one stolen from his store.
Recorder McDonough held the prisoners
for further examination. TIL police think
the prisoners are professional crooks and
will take their photographs for the rogues

BOYS PINIONED BY A FENCE.
Gathering Wood when the Structure
Fell ON Them.

Henry Parnow Henry Brandt and
Henry Martin. three boys about eight
years of age, living at No. 206 River
street HobclSen, were gathering wood
close to an old rotten board fence at
River and Third streets this afternoon
when the fence fell upon them and PIN
ioned them to the ground.
After considerable dificulty they were
released by several men who were at
work rebuilding another section of the
fence. Parnow's right leg was broken,
and Brandt sustained a serious scalp
wound. Martin escaped with a few scalp
bruises. The lads were taken to their
homes where their injuries were dressed
by DR.. Draesel.
Several weeks ago the police noticed
the dangerous condition of the fence and
requested Contractor McCune, who Is at
work building new one In its place, to
strengthen the old one with supports, but
he neglected to do so.

HILL RESIDENTS In DESPAIR.
Delays in the jackson Avenue sewer
Work Make Life Miserable.

II have heard lots of talk about Spanish
mines and the blowing up of the battle
ship Maine,' said resident of jackson
avenue last evening, '-but if the Maine
looked any worse after the disastrous
mishap she met with, than this street,
that boat must have been terrible
sight There is no getting away from
facts and both Jackson and Communipaw
avenues certainly do look as If Spanish
mines had blown up both streets: since
Contractor Michael Connolly started the
reconstruction of the brick oval sewers
on both of those thoroughfares some
three months ago. the residents in that
vicinity have not been able to breathe a
mouthful of pure fresh air. If the air
is not contaminated with nauseatlng
sewer gas, why break in the 1ilumnat-
ing gas pipe is sure to taint the atmos-
phere Delay after delay has given the
people just cause for kicking and it's
miracle that more people are not sick.
I'VE know that this thing must be
done" said a resident, but why not push
it along rapidly" For the past week not
tap of work has been done on the re-
construction of the Jackson avenue sewer,
because of some difference between the
contractor and the city. Connolly claimed
that he was forced to dig down much
deeper than he supposed and therefore
he thought he was entitled to more
money. The work has advanced as far as
the intersection of Jackson and Commum-
paw avenues. The new sewer has been
almost finished on Communipaw avenue,
but enough remains unfinished to block
the street and prevent trucks from pass
ing through that thoroughfare. 1t is also
a great drawback to the Traction Gem
pany. Only one track can be used pc
tween Monticello avenue and Seidler
street, because of the unfinished condition
of Communipaw avenue. This is quite an
expense to the Traction Company, as
man has to be kept between those two
blocks all the time. This costs the COM
pany 81 day. Passengers are caused
much inconvenience and are forced to
walk blockSout of their way in order
to board car. Pedestrians also kick,
for life for them is made miserable.
The dirt and stones are piled high on
the walks along Communipaw avenue,
causing many disagreeable things to be
said which is not in favor of the con-
tractor. Walking is almost out of the
question in this rainy weather. for there
are many pools and mud piles waiting
for the unwary pedestrian. flying
machine would be about the proper thing
now,s' said resident. Work was begun
again this morning after many days of
idleness, and many people are wondering
when the abominable job will ever be
finished. The new sewer will be built
along Jackson avenue as far as Bramhall
avenue, and it is doubtful if the work
will be completed for at least two months

TO IMPROVE GREENVILLE.
Citizens to Combine and Agitats for
Redress of Grievances.

Plans are under way for the resusclta-
tion of the Greenville Citizens Improve
ment Association, which was allowed to
die six years ago The citizens who are
behind the project have issued circulars
which call meeting next Tuesday even
ing. The following is the Circular
Dear Sir-You are urgently request
ed to attend a meeting to be held in
Columbia Hall, Ocean and Gator ave-
nues for the purpose of organizing
a citizens association, Tuesday even
ing, March 49,:
such an association, and all citizens
who are interested in the. welfare OF
this, section should lend their their support
no means received the improvements
to which it is entitled. The only way
to secure them is by litigation. There
are many local evils which need at
tention and which can be remedled
only by united efforts on the part OF
the citizens.
meeting, and lend your moral as well
as your active support to the move
ment.
The circular has been extensively cir
culated, and it is thought that the meet
ing next Tuesday evening will be largely
attended. The old Citizens Improvement
Association was allowed to die of apathy.
During the four or five years in which it
was conducted on aggressive and active
lines many valuable improvements were
secured for Greenville Among the many
improvements now enjoyed by Greenville
are:-Rapid transit, Belgian block pave
ment on Ocean avenue, electric lights on
all the prominent thoroughfares, better
sewers in main streets, and macadam
pavement on many streets. Many promi-
nent property owners belonged to the old
association. and the majority of them will
Join the new association.
One citizen in speaking about the pro-
ject said:-tIt seems strange that such an
association which accomplished SO much
good should be allowed to disband; the
good work should have been continued.
The only manner in which these impor-
tant improvements can be obtained is by
agitation. The Greenville section has by
no means received all the improvements to
which it is entitled, besides there are
many abuses which should be corrected
The citizens in this section are very en-
thusiastic over the prospect of a new as
sociation and are busy hustlilg for the
good Of the naov vement
