POLICEMEN SHOCKED.
Gallagher, Abernethy and Tobin
Had Exciting Experiences.

Patrolmen Abernethy and Tobin and
Detective Gallagher, Of the Montgomery
street station, received very rough treat
ment last evening. 1t was not meeting
night of the Police Board, so the shocks
did not come from that source. but the
peculiar antics of the storm of last even
ing were responsible.
The bell in the station house about eight
o. clock began to buzz like mad. The num-
Der indicated that box No. 1l2, at Fair
view and Monticello avenues, was re-
sponsible for the racket.
Detective Gallagher was sent out to In
vestigate When he inserted the brass
key in the box he received shock that
nearly raised him off his feet.
ssGee,'' he exclaimed. what was that?"
He finally came to the conclusion that the
box was charged with electricity.
Telegraph Superintendent Foley was
notified. He said that the storm had
crossed the wires. He had the box taken
out.

ed similar experiences

was picked up unconscious, with her fea-
lu4es pdaiy burned and disigured.
Young Pyle entertained no fears for his
mothers safety when she did not return
in the evening, thinking it probable that
she had remained overnight with his
sister in Fairvlew. When she did not put
in an appearance the following day,
howere, he began to grow alarmed and
reading of the accident in the papers
hurried to Hoboken last evening. He was
greatly overcome when he learned of his

.REpENTED HIS GENEROSITY
A Seventh Warder Gives That
as the Cause of Birch's.
Resignation.

The Seventh Ward Republican Club held
well attended meeting last evening at
its quarters on Bayview avenue. Several
new members were elected The resig-
nation recently received from Edwin
Birch was not acted upon.
member of the club said last evening
that he believed that Birch resigned from
the club simply to avoid the promise
previously made to donate plot OF
ground on which to erect new club
house. He said that at a meeting held
some time ago the advisability of pur-
chasing site for a clubhouse was dis
cussed. At this meeting Mr.. Birch said
that it would be unnecessary to purchase
plot as he would donate lot on which
to erect the proposed building. While
the members were willing to purchase
site. if necessary. the magnanimous offer
of Mr.. Birch was accepted. According
to the member, Mr.. Birch repented having
made the offer. and his withdrawal from
Republican politics was the result.
one of the officers of the Seventh
Ward Republican Club said last night
that the club is organized to stay, and
while the club is sorry to lose a member
the loss will not materially affect the or
ganization. He also said that as long as
the Seventh Ward Republican Associa-
tion and the u. S. Grant Association OPP
pose the club the Fifth and Sixth pre-
cincts of the ward will go Democratic.
The club wants new leaders in the ward.
Several interesting letters to that effect
have been sent by the members to the
Reorganization Committee.

STRIKE AT P. R. R. STATION
Ironworkers Refused to Go to
Work Unless Pay Is
Increased.

There is a serious strike at the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's new sta
ton. This morning sixty-fve of the men
who have been at work on the iron work
of the extension of the train shed re-
fused to go to work unless their pay
was raised. They were receiving $3.50
day for ten hours work and they de-
manded $3.50 for eight hours work. An
drew Brandt the contractor, who en-
ployed them, refused the demand and the
men quit work. They left the station
and gathered in small groups on Ex-
change place.
The men said this morning that their
work up in the clouds on the iron girders
was hazardous and dangerous and they
thought they were entitled to more pay.
They asked for an increase and upon its
being refused they left work. The men
were anxious to have it understood that
although all belonged to the union the
union had nothing to do with the strike.
They bad gone out as individuals, they
said, and not as union men. Just the
same intimation of the strike came yes
terday when the walking delegate of the
union visited the station yesterday after
noon and had a long conference with
some of the men. Mr.. Brandt the con-
tractor, in speaking of the case this af-
ternoon, said: 1.-THE men asked for an in
crease of wages this morning, and when
it was refused quit work. They were paid
off and discharged. I have plenty of men
to take their places and there will be, no
delay in the work" Mr. Brandt's "plen-
ty of men" were more conspicuous this
afternoon by their absence.

INTERESTED IN HIS CASE
The Dog Nero Returns to
Court Room and Gives
Himself Up.

The now famous dog, Nero, which bit
Mrs. Hay of Lake street one day last
month and was saved from the death
sentence imposed by Police Justice Potts
by Counsellor Peshall, was in the Oak
land avenue police court with his owner
Jacob Boucher, this morning. Mr.. Pesh-
all has apparently abandoned the attempt
to certiorari the police court proceedings.
Boucher was prepared to surrender his
dog that the sentence of death pronounce
ed upon him might be executed.
But Police Justice Potts, whose pa
tience has been sorely tried by the long
drawn out case, had a surprise in store
for the dog owner. He announced that
he no longer wanted the dog for exeeu-
ton and insisted instead that the $40 fine
for failure to produce him Wnen the
Court directed must be paid.
Boucher demonstrated. He said he had
only this morning obtained the dog from
the New York parties who had posses
sion of him. The excuse was of no
avail
The Police Justice said the fine must
be paid by tomorrow morning and
Boucher could take his dog with him.
Nero's owner evidently thought more
of the 500 than he did of the dog. He led
the animal from the court room. but re-
leased him when they got to the lower
hail. Nero returned to the court room
as If to surrender his life to saye his
master the amount of the fine imposed
for his non-appearance. The dog walked
up to the bench and assumed comfort
able attitude in front of it while await
ing development.
Boucher was looked for to remove
Nero, but he could not be found and
several policemen assumed the task. 1t
was not an easy one Nero insisted on
remaining wher he was and the police
men had a wholesome regard for the
dogs teeth, which had led to all the
trouble. He was finally taken down stairs
and chained in the passage way outside
the main prison where he now is await
ing further developments in his case.
