RAINEY SENT TO STATE PRISON
Judge E%Eudspeth Furnishes Offenders
Againt the Law.

Judge Hudspeth took advantage of the
recess half hour of the Oyer and Ter
miner Court yesterday to dole out sem
fences to a few prisoners. The most
important prisoner was John Rainey, the
Hoboken crook who was convicted of
burglary. Rainey would have been sen
fenced a week ago, but for an appeal
for delay in order to bring testimony of
his clients character to the Court. The
Court already had it it's possession, a
record of fifteen times that Rainey had
been arrested for a variety of crimes,
ranging from petty larceny and assault
and battery to burglary and attempted
murder. The promised testimonials did
not materalize yesterday, but Lawyer
Dougherty made a new appeal for further
delay to give him an opportunity to move
for a new trial. Judge Hudspeth said
the motion could be made at once and the
lawyer made it. The motion was prompt
ly denied. Since last Thursday, Con-
tai Wise, at Judge Hudspeth's sugges-
ton of Rainey's record with the result
that the number of his arrests is increased
from fifteen to -twenty-eight. Judge Rud-
speth concluded that Rainey is a good
sort of man to be relegated to retirement
for a while and sentenced him to State
prison for two years and d half.
Patrick Flynn got sixty days in the
County Jail for petty larceny. For a
similar offence Thomas Martin and James
Vaughan were sent to the County Farm
for three months and nine months re-
soectively.

NEW FAST STEAMSHIP COMING.

Crosse Aimsost Completed.
The Hoboken officials of the North Ger
man Lloyd line report that work on the
company's new liner Kaiser Frederick der
Crosse, now being built at Bremen, is
progressing very rapidly. The vessel IS
expected to leave on her maiden trip to
this port early in May and her arrival is
being looked forward to with much IN
terest in the maritime world.
The Kaiser Frederick der crosse is a
sister ship of the big leviathin Aalser
on the same lines, with the exception that
instead of having two screws, she is
equipped with three, one IN the DOW, one
in the stern and one amidsh1p, Inc au-
dition OF this third screw will, 1t is claim
ed, make the vessel the fastest aioat, and
her builders expect that she Will be able
TO reduce the record time OF the eastern
voyage at least a day.
The center screw While not strictly
speaking a new idea in modern Shlp-pulid-
ing. has never been experimental with
on q large scale.
a News man Captain Schmidt, of the
North German Lloyd line said: The
centre screw is the outcome OF a strong

liner in with eight screws on both sides,
in addition to one in the bow and stern.
The machinery was designed to be oper-
ated by electricity, and the inventor
claimed that if a vessel should be built
on the plans of the model it could make
the transatlantic voyage in three days.
1.-THE model aroused much interest, but
it is a question if an attempt will be
made for some time to come to construct
a vessel on the same plan as the idea is
such a radical departure from the ord1n-
ary run of the modern ocean greyhound
that shipbuilders annot be induced to eX-
pertinent with it.
THE centre screw Is regarded as a me-
dunn betWeen the old style double screw
and the model referred to, and [ believe,
should it meet with the success we expect,
it will be accorded popular favor and will
eventually revolutionize modern ship
building"
The Kaiser Frederick der Crosse is not
designed to carry much freight. She Will
be essentially a passenger vessel and will
have enough space for express freight
only to serve as ballast.
The vessel will be equipped with the
latest improved machinery. She will have
luxurious accommodations for 500 cabin
passengers and roomy quarters for a
large number of Steerage travellers.
Structurally considered the vessel will
be the finest afioat. She will haye a dou-

CHIEF AND SERGEANTs.
Murphy Proposes 10 See Every One
of Them Personally

Chief of Police Murphy has issued an
order that all the police sergeants and
roundsmen who are on reserve duty after
noon shall meet him in his Office at three
O'Clock each afternoon until he has seen
and talked with every officer in the de-
partment. 1t will take five days to see
them all in this manneA
This course has been taken by Chief
Murphy because of numerous rumors
which are afoat to the effect tina ne IL
about to transfer a number of officers and
cause a general shake up of the depart
ment. This has caused a numbe of SER
geants considerable uneasiness. Chief
Murphy assures them as they appear be-
fore him that he will transfer no officer
who faithfully performs his duty. He
wants it understood, however, that each
man will be held strictly accountable for
what the men under him may do. Nc
favoritism will be shown in making APP
pointments or transfers where they are
necessary. The chief particularly i'm
presses upon the officers the fact that
he wants Just as much vigilance in the
Fifth Precinct as in the First.

The interest is as great as ever in the Cath
Ollie Club tournament and the contests between
the best boWlers creates excitement for the
members. At the club alleys the third series
for the week was more spirited than any since
the event began. A larger number of games
were rolled and in concluding them the rec
ords We're good comparisons with former ones.
In the competitions some of the more promi-
nent of the pin Founders had a clash and the
result was very exciting. For the opening,
Andy Wright and John Egan got together,
with odds in Wright's favor in both games.
The second saw Egan in improved form and
he made short work of Frank Riordan. with
good records. Andy Wright rolled good scores
in his match with j. Rooney and won in
two straight. He met with equal success
against John Clark and beat him in two
straight. j. Rooney and j. Sullivan had a
lively bout in which three games decided it
in favor of Rooney. Captain r. H, Duff next
stepped to the rack for a go with ]. Walsh and
received the decision. A hot race ensued be-
tween j. Walsh and Frank Riordan. in which
big scores were made by the winner in each
game, Riordan losing. The closing scrimmage
was between R. II. Duff and ]. Sullivan,
which favored Duff. Score:-

Two defeats We're administered to the Lafay-
cites last night by the Unions in the Jersey
City League. 1t was an interesting contest
because of the question that was at issue.
Previous to the opening of last nights con-
test both were on the same level. They were
even for fourth place in the record. Lafayette
encountered an off night and without their
usual ability to prove strong at home alleys
going. When the game opened the Unions de-
clared they were out to win and intended doing
so. The Lafayettes had made their brags that
they were ahead of the Unions in skill and
this reaching the ears of Union they had it in
for the home bowlers even on their own terri
tory. The Unions did clever work in the OPEN
ing game and put up a good average. They
held the lead by a good margin and won by
40 pins finally. The final game was not so
one-sided. Lafayette showed the way for the
majority of the frames and were IA ahead on
the eighth frame. This was reduced by Arthur
Dukes good work in the final frames, and he
wound up with five straight strikes, winning
by a fine total. a record Of 203. The victory

KELLY'S DESPERATE FIGHT.
He Captures a Burglar After a
Fierce Struggle,

Patrolman Frank Kelly of the CommunipaW
avenue station had a desperate struggle with
a burglar at three o'clock this morning. He
succeeded in arresting his man, Bernard King,
IS years old, of No. sos Grand street.
Kelly was patroling Grand street when he
heard a strange noise in the saloon of James
O'Connor, at Grand and State streets. Has
tening to the rear of the saloon he saw two
men just disappearing over the fence. A third
who proved to be King, was coming out OF
a window. Kelly seized him and a fight en-
sued, King struggling desperately to escape.
Kelly finally subdued him and locked him up.
Kelly recognized one of Kings companions
as George Bresinger. Sergeant Snow of the
Communipaw avenue station sent out a gen
eral alarm for the two burglars who escaped
Bresinger was arrested at five o'clock by
Patrolman Dougherty of the Gregory street
station as he was making for his home, at
Monmouth and Grand streets. Both prisoners

effort. The teams are making a close race of
it in the local league. They have divided the
results generally in the series, but the success
gained by the Haladays has placed them be-
yond reach of their nearest rivals. Teutonla
did not reach her usual mark and proved easy
for the Others to master. The Halladays are
rolling a stea6ier game now than earlier in the
season and are climbing upward. The first
game was the best for both teams. The
Teutonias led in the individual series, but that
was not sufficient to win. Behrens with 1874

margins divided the teams in the last game.
Bowling was lower than usual. They had a

exhibition, which landed them in front by
three pins when the last frame began. This
was more interesting than the other and Halla-
