TOOK WRONG BOTTLE.
Simon's Drink Was Caustic A1kaloid
Instead of Wine.

Joseph D. Simon, forty y-three years old,
of No. 592 Grove street. is lying in the
City Hospital seriously i'll as the result of
a drink of caustfc alkaloid which he took
through mistake for drink of wine. He
and his two sons-in-law, John Delgrodice,
of No. 329 Warren street, and Lewis Rfcco.
of No. 31S Warren street, visited q. sick
friend, Thomas Frank, of No. 2O7 Grand
street, Hoboken, last evening.
Before leaving Ricco took what he sup
posed was bottle Of wine from frank s
closet. On their way home at two O. clock
this morning the three men halted under
the Delaware Lackawanna and Western
Railroad bridge over Grove street and TN
corked the supposed bottle of wine
Simon took a swallow, dropped the
bottle and screamed. He clasped his
hands to his stomach, declaring it was
burning-was on fire. His two sons-in-
law took him to the Seventh street sta
tion. from where he was taken to the
City Hospital The doctors found that
he was suffering from the effects of a
dose of alkaloid.

BIG Jack WON.
Had the Detective Who Accidentally
Shot Him Convicted.

'Big Zack' Watkins, the imitation Fill
pino, who is employed as an advertising
medium by Mullins & Sons, the furniture
dealers, was the complaining witness
against State Detective William Wright
of Hoboken, who was tried on indictment
for assault and battery. Zack entered the
court room in his full regalia, red blank
ct, feathers, moccasins, etc, and excited
the curiosity and wonder of people who
had never seen him before.
The story was told by several witnesses
with but little variation. On the evening
of April 10, the day before election, a
crowd of jolly fellows were in Pucks sa-
loon at Hudson and Ferry streets, when
Big Zack, wearing all his paraphernalia,
entered, and the crowd determined to
have some fun with him.
Zack is as good natured as he is big,
and he never objects to anybody having
fun with him so long as the drinks are
kept going around freely. On this occa-
sion the crowd indulged in Indian whoops
making SO much noise that people pass
ing on the sidewalk thought there was an
Indian war dance going on inside. To
add to the excitement of the occasion and
realism of the performance, Wright drew
his revolver and fired several shots into
a big cuspidor. One of the bullets glanced
off and struck Zack in the chin. He did
not resent it, merely remarking:-
81 think you hurt me, boss
Zack left the saloon and went to the po-
lice station He told the sergeant there
that he was shot.
That's nothing new, remarked Detec-
tive Quinn.
Zack insisted that he was shot in a
different way this time and pulled up his
trousers. A bullet fell out on the floor.
Zack told of the occurrence at the saloon
and Wright was summoned to the station
and was afterwards indicted.
He said yesterday that he hadn't the
slightest intention of injuring Zack and
that he merely entered into the spirit of
the occasion and fired off the revolver to
add to the excitement. He was convicted
with a recommendation to mercy.

C. 0. P HARMONY
Bergen Club Gives New Evi-
denoe Of the Sweet
Peace Existing.
GARDENERS STRAIGHT TALK
Tells Stubenvoll and Harrison
He Is Tired of Being
a Tool.

bitter fight between the ring and
anti-ring forces of the Bergen Republi-
can Club came to light few days ago.
Mr. Louis Stubenvoll. the newly elected
treasurer of the club and chairman of
the Ward Association, wrote to the ex-
treasurer, Oscar X. Gardner, an anti-ring
man, offering to relinquish his claim in
the office Of treasurer If Mr.. Gardner
would be so good as to assume his old
post.
Mr. Gardner replied to Mr.. Stubenvoll
in open meeting, and fired hot shots at
every member of the ring faction. He
told Mr.. Stubenvoll. in plain words, that
he would not take the position again
under any consideration.
You knew as well as the rest of your
following" said Mr.. Gardner, "that 1
could not possibly get to the election in
time. You knew that I was on a jury
that evening, and now you turn about
and say that you did not know l wanted
the place and you did not know where
I was. If you wanted me as treasurer,
why did you not put me on your ticket?
If you defeated me because I was a Lam
drine man, then 1 am proud of 1t.
shall always be one, and never will sac
rifice my time to oblige those who be-
lieve in boss rule
Continuing, Mr.. Gardner positively re-
fused to serve on any committee as ne
had been requested to do by President
Harrison. The President went as far to
offer him the entire selection of his En-
tertainment Commute, committee with
which Mr.. Gardner has been connected for
almost three years. In the course of that
time he has proved a valuable worker,
bringing about numerous successes.
Mr.. Gardner was most emphatic In his
statements. He turned to the President
and remarked that he was tired of being
used as a tool, and that he fully realized
why the President so regularly requested
him to accept the craftsmanship of the
Entertainment Committee. Mr.. Gardner
added that he considered the ring people
crowd of ingrates as shown by the atti-
tude they assumed at the recent election.
He said that after serving several years
in the capacity of treasurer, and having
completed all his tasks in a most salts
factory manner, he considered the treat
ment he had received at their hands most
discourteous, and in the future he desir-
ed them to leave him off all committees.
The remarks of MIR. Gardner surprised
the ring people, but not one attempted to
reply. They swallowed their medicine in
silence.
Several members who look upon the ring
followers in disgust, have said often that
the club was in fair way to go to the
sbow- vows under the present manage
ment. sit is the beginning of the end
they say.

WHO CHANGED WARRANT /?
'Officious Official Caused
Thomas DaIy's Arrest for
Crime He Did Not
Commit.

Thomas Daily, twenty three years old,
of No. 3A Third street, was dragged into
court this morning by the police of the
Seventh street station without justifca-
ton. The arrest was made on a warrant
issued for the arrest of William DAILY, of
No. 474 jersey avenue. The complainant
in the case was Annie DAILY, of No. 574
Jersey avenue.
When the case was called by Justice
Nevin this morning Thomas Daily pro-
tested his innocence. He said he had COM
mitted no offense and lhe denounced his
arrest as an outrage.
Justice Nevin called Annie Daily to the
stand to testify against the prisoner.
Much to the surprise of the Court and all
present the young woman said the man
under arrest was not the person for whom
the warrant was issued
That's funny remarked the Court.
"A man is, arrested for having done alb
solutely nothing
On close examination Justice Nevin
saw that the name on the warrant had
been changed from William DAILY to
Thomas Daily. The result was that an
innocent man was arrested.
You are honorably discharged, Mr..
DAILY" he said, addressing the prisoner.
st think a great injustice has been done
you. I'll investigate this matter thor
oughly and try to find out who the off
cious person is who changed the name
on the warrant. / will then prefer
charges against him. I suppose that
when William Daily could not be located,
the next nearest Daily was Thomas. For
tunately he was innocent"
After thanking Justice Nevin for his
action in the matter Mr.. DAILY left court.
The police will try to locate William
DAILY. The arrest of Thomas DAILY is
now in the hands of Inspector Archibold.

FOG DELAYS TRAVEL.
Heavy MIST Blocks the Ferries This
Afternoon.

The fog, which settled down upon this
vicinity about two o'clock this afternoon
the ferries. Boats were obliged to run
slow and as two boats are not allowed
on the same route during fog the boats
in the slips were obliged to wait until
the others came in. This caused consid-
cradle delay, much. to the disgust of the
teamsters, who were anxious to get over
the river with their loaded teams
In short time Exchange place was
blocked with vehicles of all descriptions
and the line extended to Greene street.
There was no perceptible delay on the
Pennsylvania Railroad and trains arrived
and departed on time

The Year in Roman Numerals.

1t used to be a fashionable fad in days
gone by to head a letter with the year
date in Roman numerals. That fad, the
Home Magazine" reminds us, got a
death blow in 1883, when it took just thir-
teen letters, .4MDCCCLXxXvMI" As a
matter of fact, there were very few people
who could properly write that date Last
year was nearly as bad, for it took nine
letters, tsMDCCCXCIx." Now things are
going to change If any person win take
the trouble to look into it. After this year
it will be easy. In 1900 the letter fad will
probably be revived, for it can be written
''MCM' . After another century passes by
the date will drop down to two letters,

BERGER FINED $50.
His Regard for His Sisters Reputa-

Lewellyn J.. Berger, the young man
from Bayonne who at the point of a re-
volver demanded his sisters photographs
and the negative from John Jay Hunt, a
Bayonne photographer. was fined $50 and
costs by Judge Blair this morning. Be-
fore pronouncing sentence Judge Blair
said.--
TT seems to have become common
practice for young men to carry revolt
vers, and it is a practice that must be
stopped. The Court may as well have it
understood now that in the future per-
sons who carry revolvers and are con-
vtcted in this court of any crime with be
more severely punished on that account. !"
Judge Blair also said that there seemed
ITO be very little provocation for the as
sault on the photographer. Berger's ex-
peTdenlce cost him about SIS.
