The Lake WILL Be
A GRAND FISH POND.
Trout and Land-locked Salmon Have Been
Put In by Thousands This Fall-Sports-
men Will Be Great Gamers
BY the Work.

The work of the game wardens at the
lake is finished
The wild trout have finished their
run and the men are not able to secure
any more eggs for Matching purposes.
The hatchery trout at Wilkinsonville
are still spawning and will require the
attention of the wardens for several
days. Thus far over 100000 eggs have
been taken at the hatchery The men
expect to get about 100000 more before
the fish have finished spawning. The
number of eggs taken from wild trout
at the lake is slightly in excess of AZ, 900.
At the hatchery at Hadley about $50,
600 eggs are to be taken.
The eggs taken at the lake please
the men in charge of the work inn
mensely. They are strong and hardy
and of rich, solid color, much superior
to the eggs of hatchery bred fish. Ex-
cellent results are looked for in the
Matching of the wild trout eggs.
The securing of SO many eggs of wild
trout which was most desirable, was
due in a large measure to Commission
er E. d. Burlington and Henry A. Now

Charles H. L. Crossman, janitor OF the
Free Reformed Church, on Grand streer,

by Uncle Sans officers for violating an
act of Congress which makes it a crime
to andedate the Acknowledgment of a PEN
sion voucher
The United States law regarding PEN
sons requires that the voucher must not
be sworn to before the fourth day of each
month. But a number of notaries public
and others authorized to take acknowl-
edgments would hunt around for pension
claimants, take their signatures before the
legal time and hold them until the fourth
when they would be presented for pay
ment to the Department. BY these means
these people took business away from
others who were obeying the law to the
letter.

MURPHY is AT TRENTON.
Trying To Secure Legislation ON the
Police Pension Fund.

Chief of Police Murphy went to Tren-
ton last night to seek legislation for the
members of the Jersey City Police De-
partment. He handed to Senator Allan
McDermott bill which provides for an
amendment to the Sick and Pension Act
Of 1897, which was adopted by referen-
dunn and which provides that all police
men shall receive half pay while sick and
half pay when pensioned according 10 the
provisions of the law.
The amendement provides that each po-
iiceman shall contribute one per cent. of
his income to the Sick and Pension Fund.
Before preparing the bill Chief Murphy
submitted the proposition to all the po-
Iicemen in the city and with very few
exceptions they were in favor of the
amendment and signed a petition to have
it put through.
To change is necessary as the drain

Maximum Penalty on Three
Indictments.

swift dose of justice Immediately upon
the return of the jury into court with
verdict of guilty. Judge Blair ordered
him to stand up and said that the Court
fully concurred in the verdict of the
jury.
such men as Dugan,' the Court said,
..are better off in State Prison and the
county will be well rid of you"
The defendant was then sentenced to
seven years in State Prison and to pay
fine of 1000 Dugan's sister who has been
in court during his three trials, burst out
crying.
Dugan was tried yesterday for shoot
ing at Mrs. Salome Petersen on the night
of January Is, when he broke into her
house. Mrs. Petersen was alone in the
house at the time, her husband, the Rev.
J. c. j. Petersen being at the German
Lutheran Church, in Wayne street, OF
which he is pastor. Dugan was convict
ed two weeks ago of petty larceny for
the theft of Mrs. Petersen's pocketbook
and some money.
He was then promptly sentenced to
three years in State Prison and $1,000 fine,
SO that he is now under sentence of ten
years in State Prison and $3,0OO This
will insure his absence from this COM
munity for about eighteen years.
Judge Blair imposed the maximum PEN
alty for both convictions and the terms
are to run consecutively. A number OF
detectives were in and around the Court
House during the trial yesterday ana u
was said afterward for the purpose OF
preventing any tampering with the jury

DIDN'T KNOW THE LITTLE JUDGE
Drunken Nan Protested TIL He
Fonnd Who Opposed Him.

An incident that highly amused passsn-

lev car occurred last night. AS is well
known. Police Justice Potts is not as big
in stature as he is in brain and in the
estimation of the evildoers of this city.
The little Judge sat opposite well
dressed but drunken and profane giant.
The giant imagined that he owned the
oar and all the passengers thereof. He
was in that condition that he cared for
nobody and he apparently wanted every
hodv TO know it, for oaths and blaspne-
mics. tinged with a sulphurous hue, iell
from lips that reminded one of the crater
of Vesuvius.
