LAVA BED 9OUGHS
Two Caught Burgling and
One Tries to Become a
Murderer.
PATROLnAy wAlsH'S CLOSE CALL
timely Blow With q Night Stick
six Months for two.

Patrolmen Walsh and Nugent of the
Gregory street station had an exciting
encounter early this morning with three
members of the notorious Lava Bed
Gang which has for years terrorized
the neighborhood at the foot of the hill.
One of the gang pointed a revolver at the
head of Patrolman Walsh and would
nave pulled the trigger had not that off,
Ger felled him with a blow from his
night stick.
, Patrolman Nugent, at three o'clock this
morning, saw three men trying to enter
the plumbing shop Of Sproul & Gerrity,
at Second and Brunswick streets. He
recognized them as Patrick Rountree, of
No. 26O Wayne street; Anthony Tracy. of
No. 37S Third street, and Benjamin
Smith of Third street. He gave chase
and blew his call whistle for assistance.
Patrolman Walsh responded. After q
chase of several blocks they caught the
m~arauders.
While at the patrol box the men show
ed fight and suddenly Rountree whipped
out a loaded revolver and pointed 1t at
the head of Patrolman Walsh.
Quick as a flash Walsh raised his club
and brought IT down on the head of his
would-be assailant. Rountree dropped to
the ground and Walsh secured possession
of his revolver.
In the First Criminal Court this morn
ing Police Justice Nevin sent each of the
prisoners to the Penitentiary for six
months.

HIS BRAIN DYED TOO
Policeman John MeGrath to Be
Retired for Mental Dis
ability-0dd Story.

1t is alleged that the constant use OF
hair dye is responsible for the present
condition of Patrolman John McGrath OF
the Communipaw avenue station, who is
on trial before the Board of Police Com
missioners for mental i~ncapacity. Police
Surgeon Nevin and DIR. Wolfson ave
testified that The is permanently incapac-
itated for police service because of men
tai disability" They say that he has a
disease of the brain characterized by loss
of memory. On all matters on which a
man of ordinary information should be
posted his mind is a blank, but when
questioned on any point in the complicat-
ed police signal and reserve system 0
in in Jersey City he never fails to
answer correctly.
''Who is Chief of Police?" Chief Muir
ply asked him recently.
Sure don't know replied McGrath;
Il have no time to bother with such
things"
He could not tell the name of the Mayor
of Jersey City, the Governor Of New Ser-
sey or the President of the United States.
When asked to find the location of a
street in his police manual he held the
book upside down.
McGrath is an old man-how old none
of the police authorities have been able
to ascertain. He was appointed to the
police force six years ago. II was sus-
pected that he was over age then, but
he swore that he was only forty-six. He
had coal black hair and a black mus
taehe when he went before the examin-
ers, and he kept them black from that
time until a month ago. when he was
removed from active duty, pending the
settlement of his case. At that time Cap
tain McKaig told Mrs. McGrath that If
her husband did not stop using hair dye
he would go crazy. Mrs. McGrath be-
came alarmed and the result is that his
hair today is pure white, not a trace of
black being visible.
1t is thought that now he may, in
time, be cured of his mental disease. He
will be dropped from the force.

The Regiment Made . splendid
Showing in the Garden.

Enthusiasm was stronger than ever last
night at the military carnival at Madison
Square Garden and the part taken by the
Fourth Regiment of this city was as
great as that of either of the preceding
lights. In addition to the athletic ex-
hibitions the Fourth was finely repre-
scented by a detachment consisting Of two
companies which passed in review before
General Nelson A. Miles and staff. The
Jersey City regiment made a fine show
and shared literally in the applause by
their fine marching and military bearing.
The other eatureS were of a prominent
character, the more interest of anything
being attached to the athletic compete
ions on the track, in which the best
athletes in the several regiments Of
those of the Fourth for supremacy, in
which the local organization met with
great success, winning two OF the events
on the programme. The Fourth had no
Chance in the cycle events. but they made
up for this by taking the palm in the one
mile handicap and potato race. m the
former w. H. Christie of the Fourth,
opening night in the half mile. came in
very prominently by beating out a fast

DEMOCRATS WIN IN BURLINGTON
Elected Four of the Five CITY
COunciImen.

Especial to The Jersey City News.'1
BURLINGTON, March II, 1S98.-The
charter election in this city Tuesday re-
suited in a victory for the Democrats.
They secured four Councilmen of the
five elected, which now makes Common
Council stand 8 to 5. with the majority
on, the Republican size. For two years
Samuel w. Semple has been the only
Democratic member in that body. The
balance of the Republican ticket was
elected by small majorities.
Thomas Baker, the Democratic candi-
date for Justice of the Peace, was de-
feated in a peculiar by only
vote. Someone scratched four Democratic
tickets on the Commissioner of Appeals,
and used writing fluid, which when first
used is blue, and turns black after some
exposure. When the ballots were aiken
from the box they were still blue, and the
Election Board rejected them as mark
ed" BY this time the ink is as black as
the inside of a tunnel, and Baker will
appeal for a recount, which will surely
elect him..
Cooper H. Prickett and William w. Lip
pincott were elected members of the Bur-
Hngton City Board of Education.
w. E. Schermerhorn, George A. Bel
ding n Nicholas A. Barrett were elect
ed members of the Board of Islano Man
ayers.
William H. Naylor, Edward Rodman
and Edward G. Davis were elected mem
bers of the Burlington Township Board
of Education.

General John Watts Kearny, father of
John Watts Kearny, Jr., who escaped
from the Brookside Sanitarium, in North
Plainfleld. on Sunday night, left with his
bride for Europe on the st. Louis yester-
day. He ascribed the present difficulty
to the nfiuence Of his sister, the Marquise

influencing his son in his course, and tina
everything might be well but for her.
She is either crazy or a malicious
devil" said General Kearny. 'In melting
my son against me. she is acting spite
fully. l have always acted toward my
son as a father should. In Europe I
offered to spend myself two years with
him in a retreat, but he fought me and
refused. In sother places where he was

times paid $50 and $40 a week regularly,
