THREW BEER IN HER FACE.
How Young Hoodlums Treated an
Objectionable Saloon Keeper.

Recently John w. Thorpe, middle
aged man. opened the saloon at No. 20
ST. Paul's avenue, which had been for
merly conducted by youth named Me-
Carthy. The former proprietor and a
number of companions of about his own
age regarded the new saloon keeper as
an intruder and proceeded to make life
miserable for him and the members of his
family.
A long series of petty annoyances by
members of the gang eliminated on
Tuesday night by James Monohan. one
of McCarthy's friends, throwing a glass
of beer into the face of seventeen-year-.
old Carrie Thorpe, daughter of the saloon
keeper.
Patience ceased to be a virtue with
Thorp and he had all of his annoyers
summoned before Police Justice Nevin in
the Second Criminal Court this morning.
Morohan was charged with assaulting
Miss Thorpe. In his defence he claimed
that the glass of beer which had left his
hand and struck the back bar, narrowly
missing Miss Thorp's head. had slipped. "
Peter and Michael Duff, Barney Hughes
and Thomas O'Neill, who Thorpe claimed
were of those who had been annoying
him in various ways since he opened the
st. PauRs avenue saloon. were positive
that it was a case of mistaken Identity
The case was adjourned until tomorrow
morning to enable the police to get three
other men who, it is claimed were also
responsible for Thorps troubles.

M'ALEER's SIDE OF IT

TO the Editor Of THE Jersey City News: :
desire to call your attention to a
heading in your paper of yesterday, "A
Brute on the Bench" which is unfair to
me and totally unwarranted by the facts
as related in the body of the article,
which deals with the sentencing of Mrs.
Kate Carlock to the County Jail for thir-
ty days as the result of proceedings
brought against her by her husband on a
charge of being drunk and disorderly.
Mrs Carlock has been arrested several
times and the police say that she is a
srounder'' Her husband did ask that
She be sent to jail in a trolley car instead
of going in the patrol wagon. saying that
trips in the later always made her sick
to the stomach. Carlock was slightly un-
der the influence Of liquor when he made
this statement.
fail to comprehend in what respect
am a BRUTE as your paper states, by
merely doing by duty in sending the
woman to jail.
Yours respectfully,
THOS. J. MAILER.
