JERSEYS PREPARATIONS
National Guard Officers Busy
With Coast Defence
Problems.

The conference on Sunday last in New
| ark, attended by Major General j. w
Plume of the National Guard of his
State, the Brigadier Generals and com
mandants of the six regiments, was the
| result, it is said, of an interview held with
the Adjutant General of the United
States by General W. S. stryker. The
latter was informed tina the Government
was we'll acquainted with the high char
! acter of New Jerseys militia, and that if
the situation demanded prompt and eff
ficient aid for the Government, New Jer-
sey would be among the first States APP
realed to.
The State Military Board which has
been in close communication with the
War Office at Washington, held a meeting
this week. at which reports from the
commandants of the various regiments
were received, and upon the adjournment
of the Board the statement was made that
the entire National Guard of the State
could be modified at one point, if neces-
sary, within eight hours from the sound
ing of the military call in the various
cities.
In case of war it is not likely that a
draft would be necessary in New Jersey.
Hundreds of retired officers OF. the army,
navy and National Guard have formally
rendered their services to the State. and
scores of lodges and other organizations
stand ready to enlist.
For the coast defense of the State Cen
eral Stryker has been busily engagedspr
uaring for any emergency. Maps show
ing every inlet, cove and bay on the New
Jersey coast are being studied, and plans
are being perfected to protect, If ilrces-
sary, the entire sea coast, principally
with mines, torpedoes and shore batter
les. Newark and Delaware Bays have re-
ceived special attention, and the State in
a few days could arm at least a score OF
staunch steamers and tugs.
At the State Arsenal the few employees
are mending tents and uniforms and fill
ing cannon cartridges. Such work is not
unusual at this time of the year, when the
opening of the Sea Girt camp ground is
not far away.
The Naval Reserves are in a high state
of efficiency, and they are. it is said.
ready for active service. The command
ers of the Jersey City and Newark divi-
sfons have scent much time in getting
the men into shape, and they report that
the battalions are recruited to their maxi
mum extent.
There is one town in the State-Harri-
son-where the hustle and preparation for
war is very marked. The Government
work at the iron foundry of B. Atha & Il
lingworth is being pushed to completion
as rapidly as possible. It was stated ao
the works yesterday that there had been
no hurry order received; but that the
new guns were being made as rapidly as
possible. such being the terms of the orig
inal contract. The work consists of Dor
ing and rifing fifteen four-inch guns and
thirty ~rapid-fire guns, and it is probable
that there will be more of the same kind,
although nothing would be admitted at
the foundry yesterday.

An amusing thing happened last even
ing at the Ocean avenue station house. in
Greenville, and it all resulted from a
missing umbrella. Monday night a re-
porter of 1.-THE News" in a hurry to
catch a car forgot his umbrella, which
was left standing in a corner of the sta
ton house. Roundsman Engels, who was
doing desk duty at the time. spied the
umbrella.
aha" said he; what a find! An ex-
cellent umbrella; just what I need"
All this time he was apparently in igno-
rance of the owner. So carefully rolling
it up, he put it under the desk, intending
to take it home when he came in from
his tour of duty the next morning. Ser
geant Mclaughlin succeeded Engels at
the desk. He hadn't been at work very
long before he smelled cherry wood, as
he explained it later. A search under
the desk revealed the cause of all the
disturbance: the lost umbrella.
"Ahemi pretty good umbrella this"
said he to himself, for he did not dare
to speak very loud just then, as it was
long past midnight and the men were
asleep upstairs. Il guess this belongs to
me, as 1 need it in the business"
Another hiding place was found for the
unfortunate umbrella. this time behind a
door in the private room. Next came
Sergeant Charles Haag to do desk duty.
Somehow or other he found the UNI
brella and instantly it belonged TO him.
One more hiding place received the UNI
brella.
R~oundsman Engels came in, looked for
(his) umbrella, but failed to fine it. See
an umbrella round here, Sarg.," said he.
Now there is one thing Sergeant Haag
prides himself on and that's his honesty,
so he handle over the umbrella, with the
explanation that he did not know to
whom it belonged.
cts my umbrella. and it's a good one,
too,' said Engels, and ! wouldn't lose it
for anything"
That ended the matter for the present.
but somehow or other Engels forgot to
take the umbrella home n left 1t in
the private room. THE News" reporter
dropped into the station house last even
ing about eight o'clock and asked the
Sergeant if he had seen an umbrella
about. Sergeant Haag went into the pri-
yate room and came back almost i'm
mediately with the missing article. This
yours?" asked he. The rightful owner
nodded his head in the affirmative. 1t
was handed over, and Charles Haag said.
with a smile, that Engels claimed it.
Once more the matter was settled, but
not for long.
About eleven o'clock the reporter paid
another visit to the station house. En-
gels was doing desk duty again.
Good evening, Roundsman,' was the
reporters greeting.
How are you?' was the reply. Then
the scribe noticed the roundsman eying
up the umbrella.
Where did yer get the umbrella? ~
asked he. :
aoh, it was presented to ms about. a
year ago. was the reply why, did
you miss one?v
Eyes, / did, he answered gruffly. and
that looks very much like it, too
Then the whole matter was explained
to him, but he refused to laugh. Ser
geants Reardon and Tommy and Captain
Nugent gave him the laugh. however,
"but silence was his Sergeant
Mclaughlin hasn't put in a claim on the
umbrella yet.

COURT ROOM CHANGES.
New Brooms I'm the Sessions Start in
for Reform.

Judge Blair, Prosecutor Erwin and As
sistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle were in
the rear court room for about an hour
this morning. pointing out to County Su-
p~erintendent Smith the alterations they
desire to have made in the room. The
court room is certainly open to improve
ment and badly ventilated. A number
of changes were decided upon.
The jury box is to be moved back to
the wall. The witness stand, instead of
facing the Judges desk, as it does now,
will be placed at the right Of the bench
and closer to the jury box. The skylight
will be moved back toward the rear of
the court room. Other changes are con-
templated.
On trial days the prisoners will be
brought over from the county jail as
they are wanted instead of being brought
over in a bunch, as has been the custom.
The new departure seems to be an illus
tration of the old adage about a new
broom, with which everybodysis familiar.

POISONOUS SARDINES.
Father, Mother and Two
Children Suffer Fear
full Agony.
HOURS WITHOUT ATTENDANCE
Remnants of the Feod Seized for
Analysis = Lives Prob
ably Saved.

A whole family was taken deathly sick
this morning as a result of eating a sim
gle can of sardines. The mother, father
and two children are in the City Hospital.
They were taken there in great agony at
4 o'clock this morning in the ambulance
from their home, No. S67 Railroad avenue,
a large tenement house. The sick ones
are
THOMAS sHEEHAN, t~hirty-seven
years old, the father.
MARY SHEEHAN. his wife, thirty-two
years I'D.
ANNA, two years old, and
PETER, seven months old.
They were alone in their rooms too sick
to move when neighbors heard their
moaning and investigated. They suffered
several hours before their condition was
discovered. 1t was nearly four o'clock
when Thomas Coffey finally broke in
the door and finding the condition of the
family notified Patrolman K~avanagh. He
questioned Sheehan. but he and his wife
were both too weak to reply. All the man
could do was point to a tin box, which
contained one or two sardines.
Kavanagh hastily summoned an ambu-
lance from the hospital. 1t came in
charge Of Surgeon Swatzerlander. He
saw ct onoe that the Sheehans were in
a dangerous condition, and needed prompt
attention. He placed the entire fanny
in the ambulance. although he had to
crowd his patients considerably to do so.
Arrived at the hospital, they were taken
in hand by Drs. Knowles and Swatzer-
lander, who worked over the poisoned
family for several hours. DE- Swatzer-
lander took the precaution of securing the
remainder of the sardines. They will be
analysed by City Chemist Krauss.
DR.. Knowles at ten o'clock reported the
father and child out of danger. The
mother, who consumed more OF the -es~
dimes than the others, is still very weak.
Sheehan was seen in the hospital by a
reporter.
I'VE had the sardines for supper" he
said. 81 only took two of them, little
ones, but wife had several of them. About
ten o'clock 1 began to have terrible pains
in my stomach and in my head. They
kept growing worse. The little girl was
sick, too, and was crying. I tried to pick
her up, but was too weak to do so. We
all kept growing worse. Finally, man
aged to let Tom Coffey, who lives next
door, know. and he sent forithe uoctor.
We bought the sardines at the store
where we always trade"
DR.. Swatzerlander says there q no doubt
but tina the sardines caused the illness
of Sheehan and his family. When they
arrived at the hospital stomach pumps
were applied and all the poison was re-
moved from their systems. The prompt
action of the doctor saved their lives.
The police found that the sardines had
been purchased of Peter Weiss, or no.
343 Railroad avenue. Health Inspector
Benjamin sent officers to the store, and
they seized all the sardines in stock.
These will be kept until the result of the
analysis rs announced, when, if it is found
that the sardines contain harmful ele-
ments, the who'll stock will be con-
demned. The sardines were packed at
Eastport, Washington County, Me-, by G.
O.. Graday & Co.
