Hurder, who shoveled by his side, of $50
the men in the hold threatened to get

time to escape.
But the "men below" were not to be
outwitted and when they heard that the
guilty man was enjoying himself in Ho-
boken, last night, twelve of them crossed
the river determined to run him down.
Hoboken was searched in van by the
stokers until midnight, when they were
rewarded by seeing Suntheil riding a
wheel on Newark street.
There he is, mates, cried Hurder and
the twelve men made dive for Suntheil.
The culprit tried to escape by pedal
ing away, but the f1remen were too quick
for him and they had him surrounded
and off the wheel in a jiffy
Suntheil was handed over to Detective
Fallon, who took him to Police Head
quarters. The prisoner was taken this
morning before U. 8. Commissioner Russ,
who remanded him for trial, fixing bail

QUEER DETECTIVE STORY
Girl Hurt by Falling OF q Trolley
Car--Or How.

Detective Frank Bennett formerly of
the Ocean avenue station house, but now
of the Headquarters staff, had a peculiar
experience about one o'clock Sunday
morning He was riding on the front
platform of an east bound open Bayonne
trolley car, when his hat blew off. The
car reached Wegman place before 1t was
brought to standstill. Bennett started
to walk back for his chapeau when ne
noticed a girl in STOPPING position at
the rear of the car.
The detective, thinking she was in
jured, asked her if he could be of any
assistance, at the same time offering to
call doctor The girl protested that she
was uninjured, but said she had been
thrown from the car as it was coming
to stop, by whom, she did not know.
Bennett made inquiries among the pas
sengers, the most of them being tough
young men, frequenters of low resorts
along the shore front. They were acting
in a boisterous manner, ringing the bells,
pulling the trolley off and cursing and
swearing violeri ". All protested that
they knew nothsilg of the accident. By
this time some began shouting for the
car to proceed. One fresh young man
wanted to know what right the detective
had to hold up the car Bennett made
himself known in a very few words and
silence reigned thereafter.
On being assured that the girl was un-
injured, Bennett allowed the car to pro-
ceed.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Katie Me-
Carthy called at the Ocean avenue sta
tion house and told Detective Bennett
that her sister, Mamie, seventeen years
old, was badly injured about the body,
and was unable to leave her bed as a
result of the accident of the night be-
fora.
The McCarthys live at No. 80 Walker
avenue The injured girl would not give
her address Sunday morning, fearing a
reprimand from her parents for staying
out so late DR.. Lignot is attending her.
Detective Bennett said yesterday that
ne did not know whether the girl fell
from the car or was pushed off.

LONDON, May 16, 1899.-The foregoing
despatch probably explains the telegram.
received by the Argus" of Cape Town,
today from Pretoria, saying the Trans
vaal Secretary of State confirmed the re-
port that number of unusual arrests had
been made and that it was rumored that
the prisoners were British officers.
The advices from Johannesburg are also
probably connected with mysterious de-
spatch received at Johannesburg from
Pretoria, on May r. saying special
train fully equipped with Boer artillery
men, guns and a searchlight apparatus
was being held in readiness at the Capt.
tai of the Transvaal. The statement was
then declared to be without significance,
but today's news throws a more serious
light on the movement and 1t is certain
there will be a great sensation in London
when the news of the arrests becomes
generally known.
The afternoon newspapers, late today,
print special dispatches from Cape Town
saying seven men have been arrested at
Johannesburg and have been taken to Pre-
toria. The Government of Cape Colony,
1t further appears, is considering the mat
ter secretly.
Inc news mas caused great eAclteHieit
throughout South Africa.
The STANDARD and Diggers' News the
Beers organ in London, has a despatch
from Pretoria whic hsays that warrants
were issued yesterday evening by the
State Attorney and were executed at mid
night TIL despatch add that plot OF re-
bellion is alleged to have been maturing
for four months and that the accused,
who are said to have been engaged by the
SouthAfrican League, had already enlist

Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, the former Premier of
Cape Colony and Resident Director in
South Africa of the British Chartered
South Africa Company, who was recently
elected president of the South African
League, informs the Associated Press
that he has heard nothing regarding the
arrests made at Johannesburg and that
he knows nothing about the reason for
which they were made.

KISSING HANDS
Americans Presented to Victoria
at Her Last Drawing Room.

[By Gable to The Associated Press.
LONDON, May 16, 1S99.-In spite of
showery weather, large crowds of people
gathered in St. James Park today in or
der to see the carriages containing people
bound for the Queens Drawing Room at
Buckingham Palace They began arriv-
ing before noon and when they were al
lowed to take places at one O'Clock a
double line had already been stretched
from the Palace to the Horse Guards
Parade and another from the Palace,
along Buckingham Palace Road to Vic-
torial Railroad Station.
The unusual eagerness to reach the
Palace was due to the hope of the
debutantos of being received by the Queen
personally, as, generally, Her Majesty
only receives the Diplomats and the first
few of the general company and then
turns over the duty of receiving to one
of her daughters. The Queens presence
also was the occasion for an unusually
large assemblage of the members of the
Diplomatic Corps.
The great display of State carriages and
gorgeous liveries, etc., delighted the on
lockers.
Neither the Prince of Wales nor the
Duke of York attended the Drawing
Room, but the Duchess of York arrived
shortly before three o'clock in a drench-
ing rain, which effectually dampened the
enthusiasm of the crowds.
Inside the Palace all the State apart
ments, including the ball room, We're
opened owing to the exceptional attend
ance.
Promptly at three o'clock Queen Vic
toria was wheeled from her own apart
ments to the Throne Room, followed by
the other Royalties, and conducted by the
great officers of the household. The
function then began.
