TROLLEY STRUCK BY ENGINE
An Erie Locomotive Crashes
Into a Hoboken Car--No
One Hurt.

An accident that narrowly escaped re-
sulting fatally occurred in Jersey CITY
early this morning. AS it was no one was
hurt. and the only damage done was the
smashing of q trolley car of the North
Hudson County Railway Company's
Grove street line. The tracks of the Erie
Railroad Company have not yet been ele-
waited. and the crossing at Grove street is
a dangerous one. Freight trains and drill
engines as well as the regular passenger
trains are crossing at that point at all
hours of the day and night 1t is at all
times a dangerous crossing for the trol-
ley cars. The conductor is obliged TO go
ahead of the car and see that the track is
clear before the car can proceed.
AT 4.30 o'clock this morning trolley car
No. 80 of the Grove street line was cross
ing the railroad tracks. There were but
four passengers in the car The motor
man and conductor failed to see an en-
CINE that was backing down the track
The engine was No. 1918, in charge of
Pierce Benny. Benny saw the trolley car
and realized that q smashup was immi-
nent as the engine and car would meet
fIe reversed the lever of his engine but
not in time TO prevent the crash. He did
succeed. however in slackening the speed
of the engine so that it was almost spent
when the collision occurred The result
was that instead of turning the trolley
car over and smashing it to pieces, the
engine merely tore few planks out of
the side of the car. The passengers re-
ceived slight shaking up but were none
of them injured.

the head and shoulders of the other.
..You busybody,' she cried again, wnlie
the CATO -nine-tails whistled through the
air. "you know he is no vagabond, and
I'll show you that his mother can take his
part"
Mrs. Shoulders WINGED under the lash
and tried to escape, but Mrs Brown held
her by the hair.
A hundred bystanders looked on in as
tonishment Again and again the leather

an. who sank to the pavement crying for
mercy.
Mrs Bower back while others raised Mrs.

which took her home.
Mrs Bower dealt several blows to the
men who held her, but the cato -nne-

GOES CRAZY IN THE STATION.
Policemen Have A Severe
Struggle With A Lunatic.

Patrolman Andrew Boyle of the Penn

Frank Mcmahon, who does duty at the
ferry, had an exciting experience this
morning with crazy man. 1t was with
great difficulty that they got him to the
Gregory street police station. He is Jo-
seph Baronowski of New York City He
appears to be about thirty years old Pa
trolman Boyle saw the fellow hanging
about the depot yesterday afternoon. He
bought a ticket to Scranton and then
went away.
This morning he was about again. Boyle
thought he acted strangely and watched
him. Suddenly Baronowski began to run
about the depot as if pursued by thou
sand devils, swearing at the top of his
voice. He yelled Murder and Police"
in German, and finally rushed up to Boyle
and told him in broken English that he
was being pursued and would be muir
dered if he did not receive protection
BOYLE tried to calm him, but his efforts
were fruitless. He finally decided tnat ne
had better take the man to the ponce Sta-
tion where he would do no harm. When
he tried to arrest Baronowsh the latter
struggled and refused to go, Boyle sent

] SH|F TING THE BLAME,
Mayor Hoos Denies That He
Is Causing the Delay in
the Water Award.

No action will be taken on the water
question this week Mayor Hoos made
that announcement this morning. The
Mayor also said that there appears to
be a disposition on the part of some
people to force him to act on the sub
ject He says that he has only had
the award since December 2S, and he does
not consider that he has wasted any time
in examining into the merits of the pro-
posed award.
If there has been any unnecessary de-
lay the Mayor does not hesitate to say
that the fault has been with others and
not him. It appears that just now the
Mayor is waiting for some important IN
formation from Counsellor w. D. Ed
wards
The Mayor says he will act when he
has obtained all the information he
wishes. He will not act, however, until
he has given the public ample opportunity
to review the contract and express opln-
ions as to its desirability or otherwise.
Mayor Hoos had another interview with
Expert Ferris today His Honor, 4 IS
now reported, has decided to- confine him-
self TO Mr. Ferris for advice in relation to
the water problem Mr. Ferris has made
search into all the points raised by the
Mayor and has explained them to mis- en-
tire satisfaction The Mayors chief con-
cern is to make sure that the. clty,s inter-
tract and that the proposed new supply
is well protected from contamination:
The Mayor also wishes to assure n1mseiI
that the watershed offered is sufficient TO
produce a supply of 5o000.000 gallons
day and 7O,00o00O gallons day when nee
eSSity requires.

NOTES OF THE FAIR

The Eighth ward is doing some great
work. The members of the ward commit
tee are leaving no stone unturned to
make great showing In addition TO
what has already been collected and sub
scribed the committee will by January
q, turn into the association at least 81 200
more in cash. There are not many Demo-
Gratis IL the Eighth ward. Those who
are there are contributing literally, and
their Republican friends are helping
them, too.
There are so many articles to be dis
posed of that it is probable that Manager
Heller will begin to auction them off next
Monday evening. 1t will take week, It
is estimated, to dispose OF those things
which are not up on chance.
Robert Davis had adopted good scheme
to get rid of those who seek chances from
him Every book in which his name APP
pears he refuses to take another chance.
Ii is only those books which he missed
the first night that cost him anything
now.
Mr.. Davis favorite number is "a. Ap-i

MR.. STODDARD WON'T TALK
His Views Of the Captain
Ladd Case Will Appear
In the Next Bulletin.

1t is quite evident that the Rev. E. T..
Stoddard's views concerning the resgna-
ton of the Rev. Charles Ladd from the
st. Johns Army Post in Lafayette will
not be made known until next week. A
News reporter called at Mr.. Stoddard's S
residence last evening in order to obtain
the rector's opinion of the controversy
but he refused to talk about it. He said
that whatever would be said from the
chnrch's side would be seen in the church
Bulletin next week. More than that
he refused to say.
There is no doubt now that Mr.. Ladd's
resignation was sought, for the simple
reason that he used the title Reverend
before his name instead of Captain, as he
had done previous to being licensed to
preach last summer. This lis believed to
have caused jealousy, as one of the mem
bers of the Post explained it. and conse-
quently life at the Post was made un-
usually uncomfortable for Mr.. Ladd.
He stood it as long as he could" said
one of Mr. LadRs firm constituents. "but
he was finally forced to give up the work,
as he could put up with such miserable
treatment no longer. Those Who lett
with Pastor Ladd believe III him and the
work he has done Ior that Post since 1t
better treatment than that which he re-
ceived at the hands of many OF the mem
bers. Those OF us WHO resigned with MN
are determined TO help him all we, can,
and / am sure the mission work he IS
to start SUNDAY morning in Bunnelrs Han
will be successful. He will conduci ser
vices in tine morning and evening. He
will also deliver series of lectures IN this
and other cities on various subjects taken
from the Bible.
The meetings held this week in the Post
ts,f,r a1ff fia
sparseIy attended. There are rumo1s hsat-
ing around thick and fast to the effect
that the Post may dispand shortly be-
cause of the poor attendance. However,
as none OF the Post people would talk.
That part they Will leave to the rector,
they say.
A close follower Of Pastor Ladd said
that he was only waiting TO hear from
the Rev &. l.. Stoddard on Mr. Ladd' $
resignation and then some startling an
Iouf1cements would be made that would
surprise The people. Wha. they were rs,rl, he {
refused to say, but simply said AT
ur.tiI the matter aevelopes, which wont
be long 1t is needless to say that al
those interested III the controversy are
waiting rather impatlently.

GOOD WORK OF THE LADIES.
The Success of the Bazaar
Will in a Great Measure
Depend Upon Them.

Nothing short of some public calamity
can prevent the Robert Davis Association
fair from becoming a success. 1t is al
ready a a-success. Last nights receipts ag-
gregated something over $500. The re-
ceipts the first night were nearly $1,000.
Consequently there was a lull on Tuesday.
The receipts fell to something like $1,000
The next night they advanced several
hundreds. Last night they advanced to
to over the 81, 500 mark. Enthusiasm in
the cause of local Democracy is spread
ing. 1t is catching. If it wasn't, men
who never held office and never expect to,
wouldn't go to the fair end unload their
pockets. That's what m1ny of the most
prominent men in this city are doing.

cratic ladies enlisted in the associations S

scarcity of men who are expected to
spend their money was painfully appar-
