MRS. CARR RETURNED EVIL.
PoHceman's Forbearance
With STIFF Upper-Cut.

A woman, giving her name as Sarah
Carr, No. 125 West Twenty-second street,
New York, created a disturbance on
Montgomery street, about 2:20 o'clock this
morning. Policeman Gaynor of the Greg
ory street station was patroling the post.
He accosted the woman, who was aland-
somely dressed, and asked her to conduct
herself in a proper manner. Gaynor then
saw the woman was under the influence
of liquor.
Gaynor asked her several times to go
to her home. She refused each time and
was finally threatened with arrest. Gay
nor did not want to arrest the woman,
so he asked a friend who was passing
to accompany the woman to the ferry.
The woman decided to accompany the
man. She walked several feet away when
she returned to where Policeman Gaynor
was standing. Gaynor thought the wom-
an wanted to say something to him be-
fore she left the city.
Gaynor was surprised, however. the
woman ran back and with almost
punch at Gaynor's nose. The blow land
ed with telling effect. Gaynor, however.
quickly recovered and placed Mrs. Carr
Gregory street station Mrs. Carr was
removed to the woman's prison, at the
Oakland avenue station.
At that place Mrs. Carr continued her
disorderly actions Matron Wyatt tried
to comfort and quiet the woman, but she
failed. Mrs Carr succeeded in smashing
several lights of glass in the prison. She
was finally landed in cell. She cried and
screamed all night, much to the discom-
fiture of the other prisoners.
In court this morning Mr.eCarr was very
penitent.. She plead with Police Justice
Nevin for mercy. The court, however, re-
fused OF listen to her. He said her actions
when arrested, were cause enought for
severe penalty. Justice Nevin fined Mrs.
Carr, $40.

FRESHlES RUNNING YET.
Their Game on Stevens Sophomores
Was Completely Spoiled.

The Sophomores of Stevens Institute of
Technology arranged to give class din
ner last might at the Fraternity House,
No. 609 Hudson street, Hoboken. The
Freshmen heard of their enemies plans
and determined to spoil them. Their plan
was when the Sophomores arrived in twos
and threes at the lower ferry house to
carry them off.
This arrangement would undoubtedly
have worked well had it not been for
the fact that the sophs heard of it. They
came from New York by the Fourteenth
street ferry and no freshies were there
to meet them
The freshies did not learn of their de-
feat until the banquet at the Fraternity
House was we'll over. Then they swooped
down upon the diners. The Sophs rush

Of them carried glasses in their hands.

soldiers and sailors of the Spanish and
Philippine wars and later the bill came UP

BRYAN COMING HERE.
DAILY Says He Thinks Silver
Will Not Be Men
toned.
Especial TO '.The Jersey City News."l


TRENTON, Jan. &c. 9O0.-Congressman
William D. DAILY was in this city yester-
day afternoon and consulted with num-
ber of the local Democratic leaders with
reference to the proposed political tour
through New Jersey of William Jennings
Bryan. Congressman Daily left late yes
terday afternoon for Washington, where
he expects to see Mr.. Bryan tomorrow
1t is expected that the free silver idol
will speak in this city.
1--WE do not know how long Mr. Bryan
will remain in this State or when he Is
going to visit us, said the Congress
man "We know absolutely nothing about
Mr.. Bryan's plans; therefore we must
ascertain his views before we can make
any arrangements for his reception.
81 have seen it stated in the newspapers
that Mr. Bryan would arrive here about
January 20, and that he would only speak
once. probably at Trenton. How much
foundation exists for such reports do
not know, but I am satisfied that Mr.
BRYAN would not make any such arrange
ments until he had consulted me about
them, Mr. Bryan wrote me that he had
made no arrangements for his tour
not make any until he met and consulted
with me at Washington.
81 II have also seen it stated in the news
papers that when Mr.. Bryan came here
he would become the guest of James E.
iMartine, of Plainfield during his stay.
How much truth exists for such state
ment do not know
When asked if Mr.. Bryan would discuss
the financial or silver issue in any of his
speeches in New Jersey. the Congress-
mans countenance changed perceptibiy.
mo, I don't think Mr.. Bryan will dis
cuss the silver issue in any of his
speeches I think he will be guided by
the advice of his friends. The two inn
portant political questions which he
will probably talg about will be trusts
and Imperialism
rBut Mr.. Bryan stated several weeks
ago in a newspaper interview that you
had evidently been misquoted when
YOU declared that the silver issue was
dead,'' interrupted the reporter, land
that the silver issue was till alive" He
said:-
Il cannot help what Mr.. Bryan may
think about the silver ISSUE" replied the
Congressman. There is where Mr.. Bryan
and myself disagree. I have always been
one of Mr.. Bryan's strongest supporters
and admirers, and would be willing to do
anything in the world to elect him as
our next President, but with silver as
the principal issue I cannot see for the
life of me how he can hope to be elected.
5 ssIf Mr. Bryan will be guided by the
advice of his friends in New Jersey he
will not discuss the silver issue in any
of his speeches, as he would jeopardize
his chances for success in this State. Mr..
Bryan is not the entire Democratic party
and does not frame all it's issues. He is
only the leader of that party, and must
be guided somewhat by his friends"
