ROBBED A UNION SAILOR.
DastardIy Conduct of Long
Dock Ruffians.

Robert Lee Walker, a sailor on the
United States cruiser Columbia, was bru-
tally assaulted and robbed in Jersey CITY
early this morning. His alleged assam
ants have been arrested and held for ex-
animation.
Patrolman Murray, of the Seventh
station, was passing by Provost and
Eleventh streets at four o'clock this
morning when he heard a grooming as q
some person in distress. He listened IN
tently and found it came from an old de-
serted shanty on the corner. lnvestigat-
ing he found a man in the uniform OF A
United States sailor lying on the ground
His face was covered with blood and he
was a mass of bruises. He had an ugly
gash-evidently caussd by a knife
thrust-on his nose. He was partially un-
der the influence of liquor, and was near
ly unconscious from the beating he had
received. Murray took him to the Sey-
enth street station. When he had been
revived somewhat he told the police that
he had been assaulted and robbed. He
had s2.1s when found. He declares that
he should have had s., as he had $50
when he came to Jersey City, and only
spent five cents. He said he was Robert
l66 ftdlhGI d 4 "a IAN
States cruiser Columbia. He was grant
ed shore leave yesterday and came to
Jersey City with John Lane, a fellow
sailor.
Lane, who belongs in Jersey City, in
troduced him to several young men with
whom he drank. He remembers little that
happened after he drank with his new ac-
quaintanees. He has a hazy recollection
of being led to the shanty where he was
found and being assaulted. From the de-
scription ne gave of the men he was with
Detective Clark arrested Edward Murphy
10 years old, of No. 11S Pavonia avenue,
and his brother Thomas, q years old.
Detective Clark also arrested John Lane,
the sailor who accompanied Walker from
the ship.
In the First Criminal Court this morn
ing Walker refused to make any conn
plant against the Murphys, who are
charged with robbing him, or against his
companion from the Columbia. He said
they were all drunk together and were
not accountable for what they did last
night. The prisoners were discharged by
Police Justice Nevin.

1T is a remarkable fact" said a dis
tinguished former Confederate to a
washington star reporter, '-that Cen
eral Lee never wore q sword during the
war. or any other weapon, and he never
buckled on a sword until the day of his
surrender. and then as an act OF cour-
for the occasion. when terms of surren-
der were being agreed upon.
General Lee did not expect to sur
render his sword to Grant, because by
the terms Of surrender all officers were
to retain their side arms; but he did ex-

FROM FERRY BOAT
New York Man and Woman
Attempts to Commit
Suicide.

At seven o'clock this morning, while the
Pennsylvania Railroad ferryboat BaIti-
more was making its trip from Desbrosses
street to Jersey City, one Of the women
passengers suddenly jumped from her
seat, and rushing to the rear Of the boat
began to climb over the rail. She was
scarcely over before the horror struck
passengers realized what she was doing.
One of the deck hands saw her and seized
her by the dress and drew her back just
as she jumped.
1t was found tina she was under the In
fiuence of liquor. She was turned over
on the arrival Of the ferryboat In Jersey
City to Patrolman Boyle, who look her to
the Gregory street police station. She IS
Julia johnson, 40 years old. She refuses
to tell where she belongs. The police
locked her up, to be arraigned before Po-
lice Justice Nevin In the First Criminal
Court when she becomes SOBER.
Last night Patrolman Boyle arrested
Michael Foley, IS years old. Of New York
city, for the same offense. He attempted
to jump from the ferryboat New Jersey,
but was prevented by b~ystanders. To his
coat was pinned this note

Jersey and Morris Canal Companies had
finished with it.
The one weak spot pointed out In the
Sheehan bid was that 1t necessitates
pumping at High Service to supply Hud-
son City. The opponents of the sheehan
plan argued loud and long against pump
ing. Thus it was claimed that Il would
be many thousand dollars cheaper to
thar it would be to maintain the
reservoirs the Flynn people propose
establishing and to keep In repair the
seventeen miles of pipe line which con-
meet the Flynn reservoir system. AT this
time. too, it was that no one
could furnish the city with water gath
cred at any point above Montville.
1t is now said that the sudden switch
from Sheehan to Flynn was a blind. En-
gineer Vermeule has all along favored
the Sheehan plan and has advised its
acceptance. Allan L. McDermott, too, is
said to favor the Sheehan proposition.
Whether the Flynn proposal was pur-
posely side-tracked or not is not known.
The Sheehan people. in addition to a
10000 900 gallon plant for 100000, have
another one of $4,000, 900 gallons daily,
which they offer for $7,0oo.0O0. The story
goes that the latter plan will be accepts
ed and put up to the Mayor with bells on.
Next TO the Rockaway plan, Heintze,
Boltwood, Ringle and Simpson favor the
81, 200. 600 Sheehan plan. 1t is reported
that they might be induced to vote for It.
There was another story being passed
around with considerable persistency to-
day. 1t was that the present bids will
all be rejected and a new call for pro-
posals issued.

sentative, is in town every day There is

DASTARDLY YOUNG ITALIANS
Arrested in Hoboken upon a
Complaint of Two Girls.

Frank H. Mastropalo, of No. 531 Willow
avenue, and Calijero Tendermesto, of No.
25I Second street, Hoboken, dark haired
Italian youths, aged respectively nineteen
and twenty-one years were ~arraigned before
Recorder Stanton in Hoboken this morning
charged with a heinous crime. The COM
plainants in the case are two pretty fifteen
year old Italian girls, Annie Radazo and
Adelaide Formasando, both of No. 231
Willow avenue.
One evening about a week ago the girls
were standing in front of their home when
the Italian youths came along. They in
vited the girls to take a walk, saying that
they would treat them to ice cream. The
girls, who were hatless and c~oatless, after
some hesitation accompanied the young men.
The quartette walked along Willow avenue
to Ferry street, where the elevated structure
of the North Hudson County Railway Com
pany obstructs the street. The spot is dark
and lonely, few pedestrians passing that
way.
When the quartett3arrived at this place
the young men made insulting propositions
to the young women. When the young
women hotly retorted the young men grabbed
them about the waists. The young women
screamed and struggled fiercsly. Their
screams were heard by the driver of a Grove
street horse car, who left his car and res
cued the young girls from the fate that
threatened them. The girls clothing was
torn and they were in a condition bordering
Mysteries.
The parents of the girls called at the
Police Headquarters and the police were
furnished with a description of the young
men. Detective Daniel Fenton was assigned
on the Last night on Willow avenue
Detective Fenton picked up Tendermesto
and Mastropalo and took them to the Police
Headquarters. They claimed that they
were innocent. They were placed in the
center Of a batch of a dozen prisoners inc
the girls picked them out. They were COM
mitted to the County Jail in default of bail.
