BOY SENT TO JAIL.
Justice Potts Sentences Twelve-Year
Old William Linsly to Thirty Days

William Linsly, twelve years old, of No.
POS Fifth street, an incorrigible, was sent
TO the County Jail for thirty days today
by Police Justice Potts in the First
Criminal Court, Jersey City.
He was arrested on Jersey avenue at
one o'clock this morning by Patrolman
Cooper in response to a general alarm
which had been sent out by his father
for his apprehension. Linsly is a bad
boy. He was a member of the notorious
Anger gang of young rascals until that
gang was broken up by the sending of
the two leaders, Joseph Anger and John
Monahan to the Reform School. Linsly
has been arrested numerous times for all
sorts of vagaries. He has also run away
from home on more than one occasion.
A few months ago he ran away and
turned up in Altoona. Pa. He promised
to reform when he was brought home,
but recently he broke his promise and
renewed his wild way Yesterday his
father locked him in Il room in the rear
Of his apartments. which are on the top
floor of a big apartment house, for pun
ishment. Late last night Mr.. I.insly went
TO the room where he supposed his son
was confined and found to his Amusement
that he was missing He could not ac-
count for his escape as the door was
securely locked and the window was
many feet from the ground. Linsly noti-
fed the police and requested then to
pick up his son wherever they might
find his. When Cooper arrested the
lad he boosted that he had escaped by
sliding down a clothes pole which stands
within a few inches Of the house
maintained a braggadocio air and took
his sentence coolly.

HARD ON THE SOLDIER.
He Exposes a Robbery and IS
Held as a Witness Although
His FurIough Expired.

1 tH+
Ewell Weaver, twenty-five years old. a
| sailor on duty in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, was fined $40 by Police JUS
tice Potts in the First Criminal
| Court this morning, for robbing Matthew
Dobbs. chief engineer, of the johnson &
johnson chemical works, in New Bruins
wick. of $50. Obj and a soldier named
Louis Kesius, of Battery e, Sixth Artii-
Ter, whose home is at No. AS East Four
teenth street, New York, We're held as wit
neses. The three men were arrested at
midnight last night by Patrolman
Timothy Murphy, who is stationed at the
Pennsylvania Railroad ferry. On the ar
rival of a ferryboat a few minutes before
twelve o'clock, Murphy had his attention
drawn to the three men who were en-
gagged in a hot argument. It appeared
as if the soldier and the sailor would
try conclusions with their fists. Murphy
interfered and asked what the trouble
was. He found that Kesius and Dobbs
were both intoxicated and the sailor had
been drinking heavily. He was the sober
est of the lot. Kesius appeared to know
what he was about.
This bum sailor he said to Murphy,
has pinched this mans money He say
he is his nephew, but he isn't related to-
him."
Dobbs confirmed the story. He said
he had been obbed of $50. Weaver pro-
tested his innocence. He swore that he
did not nave the money. At the Gregory
street policies tation he was compelled 10
undress. In one of his socks several five
dollar bills were found. He had some
money in his pocket. Altogether $34 was
recovered. 1t is thought that he drew the
remainder of the money away on the
way to the police station. Dobbs met
Weaver in a saloon on Cortland street.
He treated him because he was a sailor.
Weaver told him that he wanted to go to
Perth Arnboy and had no money TO pay
his fare.
That's all right" said Dobbs, .'T'll see
you through and If you can't get to Perth
Amboy tonight you can stay at my house
in New Brunswick" The two went arm
in arm to the Cortlandt street ferry.
In the ferryhouse they met Kesius. He
was intoxicated. He had a bottle of
whiskey in his pocket from which he
panied by the representatives Of both
branches of the service. went aboard the
ferryboat. On the boat Weaver put his
mand in Dobb's pocket and took out a
roll of bills. kesius protested against his
robbing the man.
That's all right said Weaver. The is
my uncle. He is drunk and l only want
to take care OF his money for him.
Kesius replied that If Dobbs was his
uncle it was all right. He had his doubts
about the relationship, however, and
when he had an opportunity he asked
Dobbs. The latter disclaimed all relation
ship to Weaver. Then the scence occurred,
which was interrupted by the arrival of
Patrolman Murphy. At the police station
fba coldiar and tho raiJar paadc at poob
other to fight, but they were separated by
policemen. Kesius told what he knew Of
the affair. He protested against being
locked up as a witness as his furlough
had expired and he had to take the 1876
train for Washington where his battery
is stationed.

HIS STORY TOO FUNNY.
Joseph Samuel Gets a Year for
Carrying Cigar Boxes.

Joseph Samuel was tried in the Special
Sessions Court yesterday afternoon for
breaking, entering and larceny. About
$3.50 A. M, on September 29, Policeman
Chimney. met Samuel walking along
York street with a suspicious looking
bundle and stopped him. The policeman
asked him what he had in the bundle
and Samuel said he had loose tobacco.
Chimney felt the bundle and finding
that it contained cigar boxes suggested
sthat Samuel had better accompany him
to the Gregory street police station.
Samuel objected and made a motion to-
ward his hip pocket, but Chimney caught
his hand. When the prisoner was search-
ed In the police station a 32-calibre re-
volver was found in that pocket.
The bundle was found to contain seven
teen boxes of cigars which had been
stolen from Joseph Smiths oyster house.
No. III Montgomery street. Smith iden-
titled the cigars and also a silk handker-
chief which had been stolen at the same
time as the cigars.
Samuel told an absurd story about
meeting a man who asked him to take
the cigars and revolver and handkerchief
down to the Arlington flats for him.
The defendant was convicted and SEN
fenced to one year in the Penitentiary.

QUARRELLED OVER A FIREHoUsE.
Twelfth Ward Improvement Associa-
ton Split Beyond Reconciliation.

The Twelfth Ward Improvement Assoc
citation failed to meet, last night, owing
to the absence of a quorum. Eleven
member were present, but twelve con-
stitutes a quorum. Two of those present
last night were Socialists. A general inn
preston prevails that the association will
be disbanded and that two separate or
ganizations will be formed. The Social
lists maysorganize one of their own, which
will meet below the western slope of the
Hill. The other organization, if formed,
will meet on the top of the Hill.
The two factions have been clashing for
some time past. It has been impossible
to secur a quorum for several weeks.
The quarrel originated over the proposed
location of a new f~irehouse. Those who
house be located belowsthe Hill and those
who live on the Hill demanding that it
should be built on or near the Boulevard.
