old who makes his headquarters at the
corner of Gregory and York streets, was
arrested by Detective Lee as disorderiy

Max Sobles of No. ZIG Washington street
and demanded to see his license. Cur
tiui told SobIe that if he were not shown
the paper he would pull Soble in"
Police Captain Cody witnessed the pro-
ceedings from window in the Gregory
street station house and he ordered Detec-
tive Lee to go out and arrest Curtini.
When the prisoner was brought into the
station house he cried like a baby and
wanted to go home to his mother" Cur
TIM nearly went into Mysteries as he was
being led down stairs.
When arraigned before Police Justice
Nevin this morning Curtini was very
meek. He begged to be released. He cried
between his sobs and Please,
Judge don't hang me- l won't do it
again."
This remark caused much laughter.
Send him down stairs until Tuesday,
when he will be hanged or released" jok-
ingly ordered the Court.
Curtinis cries could be heard all over
the building as he was led away.

and when she returned she was surprised
to find that she could not get into the
house by the front door. some one having
fixed the chain on the inside. Mrs.
Smith went around to the rear of the
house and discovered that some one had
forced an entrance into the house. Sum
moning help Mrs. Smith examined the
house and found evidence of the work of
thieves. Bureau drawers were pulled out
and their contents scattered over the
floor. Closets had been ransacked and
bundles of clothing prepared to be car
ried away. It was evident that the thieves
had intenaeo to loot the entire house but
were frightened away before they could
accomplish their purpose. All that Mrs.
Smiths examination revealed to be miss
ing was a valuable enamelled gold watch
and suit of winter clothing belonging to
Mr.. Smith.
A little girl In the neighborhood said
she saw a colored man go into the house
and soon afterward saw the same man
crossing the Clerk street bridge over the
Newark and New York Railroad cut. This

ing among the Republicans Few We're

back in line, having been almost dead
one in politics since he was succeeded by
the late william Heller, almost three
years ago. The Colonel has done prac-
tically nothing in the political line, since

OYSTERS IN FINE SHAPE
Jersey Coves Better Than For
Twenty Years.
Especial to qThe Jersey city News y

=
BIVALVE Sept. g. 1S99.-The past few
days have brought the first hot, sultry
weather the oyster shippers of Maurice
River Cove have had to contend with
since the season opened on September l,
and they fear that thousands of sacks
of the luscious oysters which had been
shipped to points beyond Philadelphia
may have been in bad shape when they
reached their destinations. Previous to
this year 1t has been the custom to try
the oysters in the Cove nearly every
week through the summer months to
note their growth, but the law is now
so rigid that very few persons We're
brave enough to attempt to eiude the
watchboat and to throw a dredge. In
consequence the oyster season opened
with more uncertainty than in previous
years.
F. c. Cosier & Son, Leslie M Ogden,
Captain l.. E. Yates. Captain Sheppard
Campbell William B. Mayhem & Co.,
Low & Bateman, william H. Townsend,
]. s. Rogers, Forman Demaris and other
prominent shippers were interviewed on
the outlook, and the consensus of opin-
ion is that the prospect for a good sea
son is promising. The discouraging fea-
ture is the large number of two-year-old
plants which are dead. 1t is explained
that he blizzard last winter is response
BILE for the slaughter, and as proof It
is cited that nearly all the new oysters
planted last spring and summer are alive
and thriving. 1.-THE oysters now being
marketed are as fine as at any time in
the past twenty years, because they
are being taken mostly from the neigh
borhood of Dead Mans Shoals, where
they are in lovely condition. The oysters
below East Point and in the neighDor-
hood of Pierce's Point and Dennis are
as good as last September, but not in
prime condition yet. In the vicinity OF
Egg Island the oysters are not up to
the standard yet, and in several other
parts OF the Cove they run poor.
The festivities of the week in Phila-
delphia have greatly increased the de-
mand for oysters, and with the opening
of the Exposition week after next an
extra big demand is expected from Phil
adelphia.
