CAVE HIS CAPT0R WINE.
Freeholder Clements Astenishes a
Long Island Deuuty Sheriff.

Long Island Deputy ShertN-
Alexander j. Clements of Jersey City,
a member of the Hudson County Board of
Freeholders, was arrested at College
Point, L. l., Thursday night while attend
ing the annual excursion of the aseocia-
ton bearing his name. Under Sheriff
Joseph De Bragga of Queens county made
the arrest on an order granted by Justice
Dugro of the Supreme Court of New York.
The order carried with it service of
papers in a suit for 5000 damages in
stituted against Clements by Captain
William F. Connorton, who is employed
by the Starin Transportation Company.
year ago Captain Connorton was in
command of the steamboat that took the
Clements Association to College Point on
its annual outing and on the homeward
trip there was trouble aboard. In the
complaint in the suit Captain Connorton
says that Clements assaulted him, knock
ing out several teeth and breaking rib.
Clements being a nonresident, he could
never be found in the State until Thurs
day. 1t was learned that he intended
going on the outing. His lawyer looked
over the papers and as Justice Dugro had
fixed bail at $500, Clements pulled out a
roll of bills and put up cash bail. Then
he invited the Under Sheriff to have a
drink and ordered the bartender to open
six quarts of champagne. The wine was
soon flowing and the Jerseyman's health
was drunk.

KRUGER BUYS BREWERY
Obtains Possession Of Lyons
Establishment for His
Sons.

Especial to 'SThe Jersey City News.H)
NEWARK. July q, 19O0.-Judge Gott-
fried Kruger has obtained possession by
purchase of all the stock of the Lyon &
Sons Brewing Company. whose extensive
plant is in South Canal street, extending
through to Commerce street. The price
paid for the brewery has not been stated
but it is said to be somewhere in the
neighborhood Of 100000.
Negotiations for the purchase of the
brewery were instituted when Judge Al
fred F. Skinner, as executor of the es-
tate of William H. Lyon, was made
president of the company. An option was
secured on a majority of the stock by
Michael 7. Barrett and William C. Van
Vleet, the malt man. Mr.. Van Vleet
acted as agent or broker, and the assign
ment of stock held by the Lyon estate
is said to have been made to Mr.. Bar
rett. The latter was acting in the inter
ests of Judge Kruger.
The assignment to Mr. Barrett was
mbade two months ago, and Judge Skin
ner, as soon as the interest of tn estate
for which he was executor in the brewery
had been disposed, retired from the presi-
William H. Lyon, took his place.
Mr.. Lyon had been president of the
company before Judge Skinner was in
stalled After the first assignment was
made negotiations for the purchase of the
remainder of the stock was continued un-
til a few days ago. when all the stock was
transferred to Judge Kruger of his repre-
sentative.
This stock included all the original hold
ings of William H. Lyon, Clearman Lyon
and Charles D. Lyon Their holdings,
with the exception of a few odd shares,
comprised the entire capital stock of the
company.
The reorganization of the Lyon & Sons
Brewing Company, was effected week
ago today by the election of John F.
Kruger, son of Judge Kruger, as presi-
dent; Michael T. Barrett, vice-president;
William HI. Lyon, grandson of the founder
of the brewery treasurer, and Theodore
Landmesser, secretary.
Mr. Barrett today confirmed the report
of the sale of the brewery. He said
Judge Grueger has obtained control OF
all the stock of the company. He pur-
chased it for the purpose of establishing
for his sons a brewery business inde-
pendent of his own business in Belmont
avenue
The Lyon brewery is one of the Oldest
in the city having been established more
than thirty years ago by Daniel H. Lyon.
The brewery has a splendid plant, in
good condition, and until short time age
did a fourishing business.
Lack of enterpris caused a falling off
of the receipts, against which no effort
| apparently was made by the managers
A condition of dry rot ensued. This was
the condition of affairs in the. brewery
when Judge Skinner took hold.
He concluded that he could best serve
the state by disposing of his stock in the
company and converting it into cash
Judge Skinner is till the estates execu-
tor, bu the Lyon family have no further
interest in the brewery.

NEWARKs OLD BOOKS.
A Bibliography of Works Published
Here Is Under Way.

Especial to 9TH eJersey City News.")
NEWARK, July 21, 19OO.-An attempt is
being made to prepare a photography of
Newark, containing list of books, pam
phlets, newspapers and posters printed
here from the early times to the present.
Frank P. Hill. librarian of the Public Free
Library. is conducting the work, and,
within year, hopes to be able to publish
the photography.
The plan is an entirely new one in this
city. AT present there exists no such
chronological record of matter exclusive
ly printed in this city The New Jersey
State Historical Society here, it is true.
has many records which partly covers the
bibliographical field. But the work PLAN
ned by Mr.. Hill will include as complete
d local record as can be obtained.
Circular letters have been sent around to
many business men,, editors, literary
workers, printers and publishers in the
city, asking for information. 1t is be-
lieved that in this way many valuable
bits of information will be gathered. It
is said that there are several old libraries
in the city, which, if diligently searched,
would prove a veritable store house.
Since 1880 many odd volumes, and pamph-
lets IN various lOTIHS nave De6n uSnerSQ
into life here from the printers press.
Hundreds of these, perhaps, have gone
through short, insigf aant life, and
now lie old and worn in many an attic,
covered with dust and entirely forgotten.
Librarian Hill believes that nothing
published in Newark should be allowed to
perish. The purpose of his photography,
therefore, is TO preferse to posterity a
record, or history, of the publishers art
here. He says the work should properly
take at least two or three years, but
believes, with hard work, it can be COM
pleted as tated above. by the end of a
year.
It is proposed to obtain for the Public
Library as many volumes which are
brought to light by the investigation as
possible. The library will thus be en-
larged by Mr.. HilPs undertaking.

FINANCE BOARDS pRoBLEM.
Pairing Down the Estimates Nice
Job for Hot Weather.

Finance Commissioner Jacob Ringle in
speaking today about the work of the
Finance Board ON the estimates, said sig
nificantly:-
I'VE are all at sea. You know there is
the $4,000 item for the teachers salaries
as increased by the recently passed oct
of the Legislature. and since we receive
$4,000 less this year from the State
School fund we have right here $4,000 to
look out for. There are lot of judg-
ments against the city which we cannot
by any manner of means cut out and
there are other sums which cannot be
shut out, and there you are. We don't
know at present where we are going to
come out. It's nice job for hot
weather."
The task before the Finance Board this
year is one of herculean proportions. All
the boards have increased their estimates,
yet the fund at the disposal of the Com
missioners of Finance by no means in
creases in proportion. On the contrary,
as Mr.. Ringle makes plain in only one
item, there is a decrease in the income of
the city.
The Commissioners at work on the
budget are men in whom the city has
every confidence; men who thoroughly un-
derstand financial problems, and if the
tax rate for 1900 can b kept low they'll
keep it, said taxpayer today, on hear
ing what Mr.. Ringle had ia say about
the new tax lew

1926 UNSAFE BUILDINGS
They Must Be Equipped
With Fire Escapes In
side Thirty Days.

Chief of Police Murphy a short time ago
issued an order that all buildings in which
twenty people lived or congregated must
be fitted with suitable fire escapes This
was necessary under law which has been
in force for more than year, but which
has not been properly enforced. This or
der was inspired by the great number of
fires which have destroyed millions of dol
lars worth of. property recently and the
great loss of life which has resulted there
from.
Shortly after the Chiefs order was
made public he required the captains of
the various precincts to compile list of
houses in their precincts not supplied with
fire escapes as ordered. These reports
were made to the Chief this morning.
They show that within the limits of the
city there are now 1926 houses unprotect-
ed and not supplied with any means of
exit in case of sudden fire. The reports
in detail are as follows:-First precinct,
7S7; Second. s17; Third. lO3; Fourth, 129;
Fifth, 26; Sixth, 14o; Seventh, %, making
a total of 1926.
In the lower section of the city, which
is covered by the First and Second pre-
cincts, it will be seen that the neglect is

should be most carefully guarded in view
of the fact that it is most thickly populat-
ed. In it is included the most valuable
property in the city In this section there
are LAOS buildings, almost two-thlrds of all
the buildings complained of.
The reports contain the names of the
owners of all the property, their addresses
where the property is located, it's condi-
ton and all details that are necessary to
a thorough understanding of every phase
of the situation.
All this data will be handed to Inspector
of Buildings Kelly so that he may proceed
intelligently. The law makes it necessary
to serve notice on those who are delin-
quent and to give a sufficient time to COM
ply with the law. The period is thirty
days after notice is served by the Building
Inspector.
As each notice is served a record of it
will be given to Chief Murphy. After thir-
ty days has elapsed those who refuse to
obey the law will be placed under arrest
and proceedings against them will be com
menced

PUSH LOST HIS LEG
The Dog Had Many Friends Who
Sorrowed at His Disaster.

Poor little Push will have peg leg
if one can be fitted to the short stump
which is all the cruel car wheels and the
surgeons work have left of his right fore
leg. says the Newark Sunday Call" Push
is gentle wise and handsome white bull
terrier. He was brought up in the Push
Club and always had about forty-seven
masters from the time he was taken to
the club room in an overcoat pocket He
was taught to sink his natural instincts
and avoid fighting, and never received a
blow
The worst punishment he incurred in
his youth was incarceration in a parrot
cage when he misbehaveds and just as
soon as he got too big for the cage he
wreaked vengeance upon it by tearing it
to pieces. He had a natural aversion to
fire and would tackle it in any form, from
a burning newspaper to a pack of ex-
plodfng irecrackers. Once when the cell
lar of the building was on fire Push
aroused Captain Tom Burns, who was
asleep on couch, and the baseball player
and the dog made their escape to the next
building by means of the balcony.
Everybody around the corners of Broad
and Market streets knew Push, and little
children stopped to pet him. The mes
senger boys were his playmates at all
times, night and day, and he never tired
of playing tag with stick or string in
his mouth and two or three boys trying
to catch him.
Push was playing on the tracks of the
Central Railroad, between Mulberry
street, on Monday evening, and got his
foot in a switch, just as the switchman
threw over the lever. He saw that the
switch point had caught the dogs foot
but it was question of wrecking the in
coming train or killing the dog, and he did
not have time to release the paw and
turned his face away. Push saw the train
coming, and strained away from the
wheels as far as possible.
He did not utter sound as the cruel
wheels cut his leg off, and as he raised
himself he was struck on the head by a
car truck and flung aside. Push picked
himself up and hobbled to the Trilby
Theatre, where he had been staying re-
Gently, and with the blood dripping from
his mangled leg and battered head ne
look up into John Beys face as if say
ing
he fell over and was placed in a box and
carried to the Push Club, where DR..
Werner Runge took charge of him few
minutes later.
Push is now in DR.. Runge's hospital in
Union street, and the veterinarian feels
that he will be able to run around on
three legs within fortnight
The limb was amputated, so that there
is stump about two inches long below
the shoulder joint, and it is proposed to
fix Push up with an artificial leg if he
will refrain from chewing it up which
is doubtful, in view of his propensity to
destroy cigar boxes pieces of wood, rope
and almost anything else that irks him
or excites his animosity He is quite
weak now, but shows considerable ami
'mation and eats well.
