RUNAWAY 'HOMES|CK
Young Chicago Boy Tells
Chief Murphy a
Tale.

Frank Oshinski, of No. 252 Wabansia
avenue, Chicago. ILL.,. was arrested yes7
terday afternoon at five o'clock by Patrol
man Britten, of the First precinct police
station. and brought before Chief Murphy
this morning to whom he told a sad story.
Six weeks ago Frank says he met Her
mann Schadwoski, who lived next door
to him, and a boy whom he knew only as
Toney. Franks two companions are
twenty and eighteen years old respective
ly. The three decided to come on to New
York City to see the sights. In order to
defray the expenses of the trip Schadwoski
stole $50 from a butcher, Oshinsli says
The name of the butcher is not known to
Oshinski
The boys then went to a Chicago
gambling house and won s25. Then they
boarded train, after paying their fare,
and in due time arrived in this city. They
went to New York City and took lodgings
at Mo- 195 East Fourteenth street. where
they stayed for a month. About week
ago Schadwosd gave Oshinski pair OF
gloves to sell. The young boy went away
to find purchaser while his companions
stood on a corner They said they would
wait for him. but when he sought them
after disposing of the gloves they were
not to be found
Oshinski returned to the house where
they had stopped but his companions were
not there. A search of two days proved
vain and the lad was forced to leave the
house because he had no funds. Toney
had brought bicycle from Chicago.
When he left the house Oshnski took
the bicycle and came to this city. He
wandered about and finally went into
what is known as the Pennsylvania House
on the meadows, near the Waldo avenue
yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He
remained there for several days, working
about the place and gathering coal to pay
for his lodging and board. The boys
homesickness was too much for him and
yesterday he came to this city with the BIZ
cycle. He wanted to sell it in order to
get his fare home. He was seeking a
purchaser at the corner of Montgomery
and Warren streets when Officer Britten
saw him and took him to the station
house, where Captain Cody interviewed
him.
Chief Murphy telegraphed to the boys
father, who is a grocery clerk, asking
what he should do with the boy. The
father requested that the boy be sent
home.

S35,oOO FIRE
Carriage Mandatory Com
pletely Destroyed Last
Night.
HEROIC FIREMEN HURT
Charles Wagner and Freder-
ick Freichs Struck by
Falling Wall.

A fire that caused a loss of $4,000 worth
OF property and threatened to destroy
twice as much more and number of lives
occurred last evening shortly before sew
en- O'Clock in a three-story frame building
owned and occupied by Joseph Wilson,
truck and carriage manufacturer. The
building was razed to the ground and
a number of valuable carriages and trucks
in various stages of construction were
burned completely. All about the build
ing, which was 75x100 feet, were numer-
Gus frame houses. The excellent work of
! the Fire Department prevented any
spreading of the flames. That the fire
was confined to the one building is tes-
timonial to the efficiency of the fire
lighters.
Three alarms were sent in and the
We're sent to the scene.
The top floor of the building is occu-
pied as a living apartments by Mrs. Mary
penick, willow and her three children.
Their first warning of the fire came from
nanles bursting up an air shaft. Without
waiting TO gather up any of their
possessions the little family fled to the
sire, barely escaping with their lives.
Their property was totally destroyed.
The most brilliant and daring workers
at the fire were Charles Wagner and Fred
erick Freichs, of Engine Company No. IL.
This company was first on the scene and
the men worked VITA such untiring efforts
to stay the destruction Inevitable that they
became exhausted. They ventured into
danger. They took once chance too many
however, and were injured.
Both were engaged together on the
north side of the building endeavoring
to keep the flames from that point, be-
cause there the danger of spreading was
greatest. Their efforts were in vain s.nd
the wal fell. Both men stuck to their
post to the last minute and were not
quick enough to avoid the falling wall.
Wagner was struck by two ptanks One
injured his left leg and the other struck
him on the head. He fell to the ground
in q semi-conscious condition. Freichs
was also struck on the head and he sus-
tanned scalp wound and a contusion
of the head. They were attended by Dr.
James S. Stout and taken home.
The cause of the fire is unknown. None
of the workmen were about at the time
and none could be found who saw the be-
ginning. The flames burst high into the
air and lit the heavens up for miles. A
great crowd gathered and for an hour the
greatest excitement prevailed.
Mr.. Wagner said the property was in
sured for sf00O0.

of Grand street. Thousands of tons of
goods of the most miscellaneous charae-
ter have been sent by hugh steamers to
Uncle Sans new possessions in the far

Even the wharfingers accustomed to

the Philippines, and proves in remark
able degree that the Filipinos are striving
to be up to date.
There were hundreds of boxes of type
writing machines sent from Chicago,
crates of iron buckets, case after case of
iron stoves, pots, kettles and pans. One
firm in Jersey City alone had huge pile

Still Considering
His Nomina-

A PRONOUNCED GOLD MAN
William N. Coler, Jr., Says
He Will Wait Awhile
Before Talking Poll

Especial to '.The Jersey city News."l

ISpeclal TO 'rIne Jersey City News
NEWARK, Oct. 9, 1900.-William N.
Coler, Jr., has not accepted the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congress for the
Sixth Congressional district. Mr.. Coler
said yesterday he had not as yet decided
to accept. His inclination was to decline
the honor unanimously granted him by
the Democrats of the district.
tMr. Coler was visited at his handsome
residence, No. % Central avenue, this city.
The choice of the Sixth district Democrats
received his visitor cordially, but declined
to talk politics. He was asked to give to
the public his views on the great issues of
the campaign.
Really, l don't know that I am pre-
pared to talk at all just yeti said Mr..
Coler. "Of course, on the money question,
I am pronounced gold man.
Mr.. Coler was met by appointment to-
day at the office of William N. Coler &
Co., of NO. 30 Nassau street, of which the
nominee is junior partner. The firm deals
principally in municipal bonds, and its
offices are in the heart of the great finan-
cial market of New York.
M Coler extended a smiling and most
cordial greeting to the reporter Then he
views of the issues of the campaign.
Frankly" he said, 81 have not accept
ed the nomination so kindly and unani-
mously rendered me by the Democrats
of Newak and East Oange. I have not
made up my mind that / will accept the
nomination. Frankly, very much doubt
that I will accept it. I am exceedingly
1oath to enter actively in politics. I real
ize all that it implies and would rather
not accept the nomination.
IF do consent, it will be because of
my interest in the Democratic party,
rather than for any desire that my own
election shah pe accomplished"
when will you konw what action you
will take regarding your nomination?'
Probably this evening. If 1 decide to
accept, I viii give you an expression of
my views on the questions of imperialism,
trusts and finances. Frankly. doubt
very much that will accept.
County Chairman Price did not come to
town from his Sussex county home yester-
day. Chairman Nicou of the convention
said that no certificate of nomination has
been filed as yet The law requires that
Congressional nominations shall be filed
with the Secretary of State at least twen-
ty days prior to election, SO that, in the
event of Mr.. Coler's declination, the COM
mittee on vacancies appointed by the
chairman of the convention will have
ample time in which to select another
candidate.
The committee on vacancies consists of
the following-Dr. William Dimond, Will
liam Tuite, John Sherman, John M. Stahl
and Anthony G. Kroehl. The local leaders
believe that Mr.. Coler will not decline.
His consent to have his name go before
the convention was obtained last Friday
afternoon by Chairman Price and the
members of the Executive Committee of
the County Committee, with the aid of
Mayor Seymour, David b. Hill and the

ANARCHY DEFINED
One of Its Leaders Tells
What He Thinks 1t
Means.

b. Mazzotti, one of the leaders among
the Anarchists in Paterson; N. j., defined
anarchy yesterday in a sworn statement
made before Supreme Court Commits
sioner James M. Trisnble, who is con-
Quoting the inquiry on behalf of the Ital-
ian Government into the plots said to
have been Matched in this country
against the life of the late King Hum
bert. AS on the opening day of the in
quiry, Count Prat, the Italian vice-Con-
sui at New York, assisted the Commits
sioner in taking the deposition of wit
nesses.
Mazzotti is connected with the Group
for Existence and usually presides at
the meetings of the group
There are several Anarchist groups in
inPaterson, Mazzotti told the Commits
sioner They are divided about the pro-
priety of killing rulers. Some Anarchists
think it is a good thing and others think
it is not; that anarchy can be brought
about without bloodshed''
Mazzotti was asked what anarchy
meant.
1T means" he said, 'the abolition all
government restriction, and the substitu-
stion of absolute individual liberty
Mazzotti knew Gaetano Bresci. but
said he did not know of any plot to kill
Humbert or any other ruler.
when an Anarchist decides a certain
ruler should be put out of the way for
the good of humanity" said Mazzotti,
she takes it in his own hands to do the
deed. Breschi killed Humbert of his oNn
volition.''
Pedro Estede, editor of the Anarchist
newspaper, was examined. He was not,
he said, aware of any Anarchist plots
Vito D. Antonio, saloonkeeper, was
also examined but he knew nothing of
the Anarchists nor their plots. 1t was
he who suggested the big memorial SER
vices in Paterson in honor of the mur-
dered King.
The examination of the witnesses was
in private but some of them, including
Mazzotti told all that they had testified
to when they left the room.

NO PRESIDENT YET
Committee of Hudson County
Bank Still Undecided-Mr.
Washburn Sinking.

No President of the Hudson County Ma
tional Bank has as yet been decided upon,
so Chairman Zabrisl1e of the committee
to fill the vacancy caused by the retire
rnent of Mr. Richard Washburne, said to-
day.
Mr.. Zabriskie was asked if it were true
that he was named for the position. He
laughed and replied that he was not going
to take on his hands any new response
bilities.
"Dr. j. D. McGill is also being consid-
ered?''
'Oh, doubtless was the reply, many
have been named. But so far the commit
tee has reached no selection. We are
still looking out for the right man with
adaptability and tact to fill the position. :
Word reached the bank today that ex-
President Washburne has had another re-
lapse and is very low. For the past month
he rallied and his condition gave his fam
lily some hope that he might recover. but
the attack of yesterday is accepted as the
beginning of the end.

LABOR MEN ALLIED
Liquor Dealers Will Only Sell
Union Label Goods.

An alliance between the United Build
ing Trades Council of Hudson County
and the New Jersey State Liquor Dealers
League has been formed and it is be-
lieved will result in great benefit to the
subordinate organizations of both bodies.
By the terms of the agreement ratified
at the last meeting of the Building
Trades Council the liquor dealers affiliat-
ed with the State body agree to employ.
at the work of fitting up their places,
none but union mechanics, holding work
ing cards of the central building trades
body, and as far as possible to sell none
but union made goods bearing the union
label. AS an evidence of individual rati-
ficaton of this agreement, saloon keepers
will display their certificate of member
ship in the local liquor dealers assoca-
ton prominently in their show window.
The far reaching effect of this agree
ment is evident. It will prevent brewery
proprietors who own, in part or whole,
the majority of the saloons of the county
from employing non-union artisans at the
work of fitting UP such places. In the
event of their doing this it will mean the
practical boycott of such saloons by union
men This has long been a difficulty with
which the representatives of the Building
Trades Council have had to contend, as
they have been hitherto powerless to pre-
vent non-union artisans employed by
breweries from doing work in saloons
owned by the brewers.
In the event of the other central labor
bodies endorsing this agreement it will
mean the unionizing of the employees of
the different manufacturers supplying
saloon keepers and the organization of
bartenders and walters unions in differ
ent sections of the county. In this the
main strength of the alliance will lie, all
though the present endorsement of the
agreement by the Building Trades Coun-
ell cannot but have a beneficial effect on
the different unions affiliated with that
body.

THE NEED OF SCHOOLS
Board Of Finance Anxious
to House All Pupils
But Has Not the
Means.

An outcry is being made by certain citi-
zens that the Board of Finance is direct
ly responsible for the delay in the COM
pletion of the new Greenville school, and
others have taken it up and added that
the Finance Commissioners are shutting
their eyes to the necessities of more
schools in the Eleventh, Twelfth, Seventh
and Second wards, and simply won't ap-
propriate money for these buildings out of
pure cussedness. These charges were met
by Finance Commissioner w. F. Midlige
today in this statement
II have heard,' he said, ''that something
of that kind has been said. Now, what
are the facts? So far as the question of
No. 20 School in Greenville is concerned,
the Board of Finance has done everything
to hasten the completion of that build
ing. 1t approved of the contract a year
ago and has made the appropriation
for the work. What more could it do
than that? The building, which, believe,
has cost up to date s1o5,OOO or thereabort,
ought to be finished, and if it can't that
is matter for the contractors to explain.
There is a legal question at present being
discussed between the legal department of
the city and the bonds, but doesn't affect
the building.
after all the question of No. 20 School
is mere incident" continued Mr.. Mid
lige, from other quarters of the city
there comes a demand for more schools.
In the Eleventh and Twelfth wards we are
asked to appropriate money for new
buildings. A new school is needed for No.
2, and there is also required an annex to
No. IA School. We don't deny the urgency
for those demands, but the problem
confronts us, Where is the money to
come from?' 1t is to be regretted that
those who are criticizing the Board of FL
nance for their action are not better in
formed of the true situation. 1t has a
certain amount to work on, and it is sim
ply question of keeping within its in
come or plunging the city into more debt"

1T MAY BE THE TRUTH.

A Newark paper had a sensational story
yesterday, of an alleged Jersey City girl,
which was stolen and reprinted this morn
ing by New York paper. The story was
that Miss Bessie Burney of Jersey CITY
was being taught hypnotically to play the
violin by Arthur Ballard, a Newark man,
of No. 470 High street. Miss Burney, the
story said, could not attain the necessary
fiexibility in her fingers, and Mr.. Ballard
by hypnotism. made the fingers flexible.
The story may be true, but it was impos-
sible to ascertain because there was no
family by the name of Burney in the Jer-
sey City directory.
