THE ORGANIZED AID.
Dir. Stoddard Gives a Prae-
tical Illustration of It's
Usefulness.

DR.. Stoddard gives the following inter-
esting account in st. Johns Bulletin OF
the assistance the Organized Aid gives
citizens:-
ga few days ago there came to my
house a worker in an order somewhat
similar to the Salvation Army. He appear
ed to have bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia
and consumption all in one, and his
cough was pitiable. He had a certificate
from the Massachusetts General Hospital
in Boston, stating that he had been
treated there and advised to go at once
to the South. All seemed straight and
clear, and the writer was on the point OF
helping him on his way to Texas for he
had no money. Then remembering the
motto of the Aid, .'Under no circum-
stances give money at the door, but let
the Aid investigate" he enclosed some
bills in a sealed envelope and sent the
man with that to the office of the Aid
Within twenty-four hours the first re-
port came.
sa The man has lived in this city be-
fore AT the place where he boarded it
is said that he had severe cough eight
years ago. We think best to investigate
South. Meantime, that he may be com
Portable. we have sent him to the City
Hospital.
'b. The report of the City Hospital was
that the man had consumption and should
go to the Southwest. AS it seemed to be
difficult to raise at once the large amount
of money necessary to send him there,
it was proposed to send him to a New
York Hospital which he for some reasons
is entitled to enter, till money could be
raised to send him South.
Sc The man refused to go to any nos
pital, refused to accept lodgings and meals
till money could be raised, but insisted on
leaving town at once.
I'd Meanwhile in answer to a letter, the
following report came from the Boston
branch of the Organized Aid. The man
in question had applied to that branch
| March H. The Invalid Aid Society
raised $2S to send him to Colorado where
he said he had a sister. March Is the
money was given him and he was started
off to Colorado 1t was March 26 when he
applied here for money to take him South.
Further particulars will follow.
"Note.-IIere is one of probably 1000
cases, perhaps one Oh IVooV eases Wheie
people are getting money under some false
pretence or other. What an inestimable
advantage to have a society to whom you
can intrust your money as the writer did
his knowing that if the case is worthy
the man will get it, and if not that his

city for further mischief be limited. No
individual can find out these imposters.

Trate Woman Aimed at Her Hus-
band and Struck Him.

The domestic troubles of a Mr.. and Mrs.
Hill, who refused to give their address,
were aired in the First Criminal Court
yesterday morning in a rather dramatic
and startling manner. Mrs. Hill COM
planned that her husband secreted their
children so that 1t was impossible for
her to see them. Mr.. Hill told the
court that he had placed the children in
several institutions, but that he was COM
PEELED to remove them by the authorities
because of violent scenes made by his
wife.
-Yeur honor, she is mentally irrespon-
sible and a drunk, he said.
"a drunkardl' exclaimed Mrs Hill,
her eyes flashing fire. '.Yes, I drink and
] would drink your miserable hearts
blood
Justice Potts told Mrs. Hill she had bet
ter leave the children alone as they were
well off.
.'Tll wait for you outside, you brute, .
was Mrs. Hilrs parting remark.
John ]. Erwin was in court in behalf of
Mr. Hill and they went out together. AS
they passed through the door leading to
the street, Mrs. Hill sprang from behind
the door and made lunge at her l1us-
band She missed him and struck Mr..
Erwin The two men retired and left
later escorted by policeman.

PANGBORN'S FIERCE FIGHT
Patrolman Caught a Thief
Who Was Armed With
Solder.

Patrolman Pangborn, of the Second
Precinct Police Station, last night, arrest
ed one of the most desperate criminals
that the police have had to contend with
in years. He succeed in placing the man
under the arm of the law after a hot
fight.
The man arrested is John, alias Cow
Flanagan, forty years lod, of No. SO St.
PauPs avenue, whose picture adorns the
rogue's gallery at Police Headquarters,
and is No. Ss5. He broke into the plumb
ing shop of Matthew D. Lillis. at No. al
Pavonia avenue, at 10:45 o'clock, last
night and stole about 100 pounds of solder.
Pangborn held the thief up in the street
and arrested him. Flanagan rushed at the
officer with piece of soldier and at
tempt to hit Pangborn over the head.
With drawn club in hand Pangborn met
the rush. 1t was a battle for life or
death.
Flanagan was man with a record and
he feared arrest as much as he did any
thing in the world. He fought like
maniac. But Pangborn was taking no
chances and he came out on top, with
Flanagan badly mutilated man. He suf-
fered a terrible beating before he gave
in and then he was in a state of collapse.
Pangborn did not have all the best of
the struggle, however. The thief welded
his bar of solder with such effect that the
officers hand were both badly injured
and it is thought that a number of small
bones have been severely hurt. Flanagan
was sent to the City Hospital, where his
wounds were dressed and then removed
to Police Headquarters where he remained
in a cell until this morning when ne APP
peared before Police Justice Potts and
was held for examination by the Grand
Jury in $500 BAIL
Patrolman Pangborn was standing at the
corner of Pavonia avenue and Provost
street, ait 1O:45 o'clock P. M, when he
heard a womans scream and call for
police. At tne same time man came
running toward him with a bar of solder
in his hand. Pangborn drew his club and
demanded that the man stop. The man
stopped, but set himself for a struggle
and then followed the battle in which the
man was subdued.
Pangborn Immediately recognized his
prisoner as Flanagan. He brought Flan-
nigan back to No. 141 Pavonia avenue,
where Mrs Sullivan, who lives on the
second floor of the house. was explaining
the details of the robbery to a crowd of
neighbors. She recognized Flanagan as
the man she saw in the store packing sol
der in a large tin can a few minutes be-
fore.
Flanagan has only recently left States
Prison after serving a term of two and a
half years for robbing Sacks store in
Newark avenue

them by taking Hoods Sarsaparlla.

THE ELECTION.
Leader Davis Predicts Rat
Ting Democratic
Victory.
TEACHERS BILL WILL WIN
Freeholder Measure Sure to
Pass Mix Up in the
Ballots.

Matters were dull about the City Hall
this morning. No one was there VINO
could possibly keep away and all the
interest politically centered in the cleo
tion which is in progress throughout the
city. Mr.. Robert Davis said thot in his
opinion the pople would endorse the acts
for the Increase of teachers salaries and
the reorganization of the Board of Free
holders and that the entire Democratic
ticket would be elected by between 5000
and 400 plurality.
There were bad mixes in the distribution
of ballots in several of the wards. In
the Sixth ward ballots belonging to the
Seventh ward were voted until the dis
covery was made and the proper ballots
were secured By this the Republicans
are supposed to have lost.
In the Eighth ward Eleventh ward bal
lots were used. The Democrats were the
losers. Homer Green is said to have lost
a number of ballots by this mistake.
The election was quiet throughout the
city
Today's voting throughout the Second,
Tenth and Eleventh wards indicated in
the morning that the vote would be an
exceedingly light one There was abso-
luteiy no excitement and a stranger would
never have known that municipal eec-
tion was going on. This is was claimed
was due to apathy on the part of Repub-
licans. It was argued. however, that the
campaign the teachers have been waging
in their own behalf will bring out heavy
vote before the polls close. 1t is believed
that the Democratic workers are getting
out a good vote, and it is believed thai
all of the wards will roll up their ussal
Democratic major8ties. In the Second
ward the Clearyitee and regulars" are
working side by side for the success of
the general ticket.

AUXILIARIES OF NAVY.
Small Vessels bought During Spanish
War to BE Sold by the
Government.

The navy department is consider
ing the advisability of selling all the
steam yachts, tugboats anu small yes
sells purchased as auxiliaries Just after
the destruction of the Maine two
years ago. The larger vessels, which
are useful as golfers and transports,
will be retained, as well as a few
smaller vessels which are actively en-
gagged in surveys and police duty in
Cuban and Central American waters.
There are about 90 yachts and as
many tugs that are laid up at navy
yards and rapidly going to pieces for
want of repairs and proper care, 1t
is said by the naval constructors and
engineers that these vessels deteriorate
much more rapidly when laid up than
in commission performing actual
duty.
1t is proposed now to have an ap-
praisal made of all the auSiliaries
that are not likely to be useful for
naval purposes and offer them for
sale. The government will be salts
fed if the appraised valuation can be
secured, in view of the fact that it
would cost nearly $5OO,00O year to
keep the vessels in fair order.
