Track and Several Pas
sengers Are Hurt.

A serious accident occurred Saturday
on the Rutherford line of the Jersey

way on Paterson Plank Road. near
Bowers street. About twenty of the
sixty or more passengers were injured,

Car No. COS in charge of MotormaD
Walsh and Conductor Hamilton turned
into Plank Road at Congress street. The
ear was filled and some of the passen-
gers were hanging on the runboard.
When we'll on the plank road Walsh
opened the controlling leader to make up
for lost time. The road at this point is
continuous incline for a distance of a
mile. Two hundred feet north of Bow
ers street the front wheels of the car
hit a locked switch and jumped the
track. Walsh tried to apply the brakes
as the car went humping over the cobbIe-
stones of the road swerving and heading
for a stone wall that serves as protection
against steep precipice of many feet.
Some of the frightened jumped. Others
screamed in alarm. A general panic en-
sued. When the car. struck the stone
wall with a crash the jar threw many
of the passengers out Some were hurled
against the stone wall. Others fell in the
road.
Charles Bucket, thirty-fve years old.
Of Congress street and Palisade avenue,
fell under the car. He was badly laeer-
ated and several bones We're broken. His
condition is serious.

SCHOONER
IN The DRAW
Thousands Of Train Passen-
gers Held Up at the Gem
trails Hackensack
Bridge.
THREE HOURS DELAY.
Many Walk Back to Newark
to Take a Trolley-Ti
and Mud Did It.

The grounding of a lumber laden
schooner between the Hackensack River
drawbridge over the Newark branch OF
the Central Railroad at half-past seven
o'clock this morning, caused much incon-
venienee to several thousand passengers
going to and from New York. These
commuters were held up for about three
devised scheme whereby the passengers
could be brought to their destinations.
STUCK IN THE MUD.
The schooner was in tow of tug and
was consigned to the Dodge & BlissSbox
factory on the Shore of the Hackensaca
River, near West End. The tug passed
through the draw all right and the big
gest part of the schooner went through,
but the stern grounded and stuck deep
in the mud. An effort was made to
close the draw, but owing to the position
of the lumber boat. it was impossible to
get the bridge all the way closed.
The tide was very low at the time and
all attempts of the little tug to disiodge
the schooner were futile At this time
the morning rush was in full swing and
trains ran every few minutes. In less
than half an hour dozen trains were
lined up on either side of the bridge.
HUNDREDS LATE.
The passengers were in no pleasant
frame of mind and were greatly put out
at the delay. Hundreds were late for
business and many started to walk back
to Newark over the trestle to come to
New York by way of trolley. Finally the
draw was closed all but about two feet
This enabled the passengers to jump on
the bridge and make their way to trains
on the other side. In this manner passen-
gers were taken to New York and New
ark, but not until delay of more than
an hour ensued. 1t was after noon before
the schooner was pulled off the mud
An accident of this sort has never hap
pened at that point before. 1t will be
necessary to dredge that part of the
river where the mud has accumulated.

Picnic at Point View Grove.

The Henry Reuter- Association held its
annual outing at Witzels Point View
Grove. 1t was attended by over one
hundred and fifty well known residents
OF the Hudson City section and number
of prominent officials and politicians.
John Zeller was much in evidence, looking
after his shrievalty boom. Street and
Water Commissioners Ferdinand Heintz
and James S. Nolan, Surrogate James
Lillis, Freehoider James Kelly, eX-Free-
holder Clements, Samuel Nagle, ex-Free-
holder NJ. ]. Kenny Police Captain
Chas. Wohlleben, Police Sergeants Duffy
and Battersby. From the clerical staff
of the Street and Water Board were
Assistant Clerk William F. Tolson, Chas.
Hart, Nicholas Mahan, Gustav Bahr,
James Hannah, Matthew Rooney. Other
clerks from the City Hall were John
Walsh and E. f. McCarty. Many prom
inent business men and citizens of the
Eleventh and Twelfth wards were in the
party.
The standard bearer was everywhere
udueu as TeeuOiuer, Dul apparently
warded it off as mere banter. However,
it is known that Mr.. Reuter- would not re-
fuse freeholder nomination in case the
Supreme Court knocks out the present
Freebooter Act as invalid, and the coun-
ty goes back to electing freeholders by
wards.
The party was conveyed to and from
the grove on the double-decked tug Bes-
sic, which also carried a whole cargo
of solid liquid and refreshments. 1t left
the Erie dock and arrived at the Grove
after an enjoyable sail. about one
o'clock. A splendid breakfast was then
enjoyed Games were INDUCED in

was umpire and Nicholas Mahan scorer.
The umpire was fair to all the batters
and runners, and Carty's nine scored fif-
teen runs in three innings. O'Grady's
nine scored four runs in the same num-
Der of innings.
Those who had aspira tions to some day
shine as stars on Jersey City's profess
sional team, feared for their regulations
and refused to play any longer. Nick
Mahan's arms got tired scoring the runs
and he was the only professional score
keeper on the grounds, the game was
abandoned. Several brilliant plays were,
however, recorded. Matt Rooney, John
Walsh and Owen Doyle, of McCarty's
team, scored home runs. Walsh scored
two of them.
Tom Carroll won the fat mems 100
yard dash.
Other races were INDUCED in.
The dinner was the principal feature
of the day. In addition to the usual
menu enjoyed on ordinary outings fried
frogs legs, broiled lobster and crabs,
steamed and roast oysters We're also
served. The first course was CLAIMS. 1t
was called clambake. All the viands
were washed down with champagne and
other refreshments. All the participants
returned home pleased with nothing but
words of praise for the committee and
the standard bearer.

Judge Censures an officer In
terfer With a Man in a Closed
Case.

ing Oh a charge of being a disorderly per-
son. and during the testimony stated flat
he had been struck by Officer Coyle with
his club and also had his pipe knocked
out of his mouth and thrown from the
patrol wagon by Coyle.
Coyle admitted throwing the pipe away
but denied striking DAILY.
He said DAILY was on the corner Of
Erie and Thirteenth streets with two
others who We're acting in a disorderly
manner. When told to move on he re-
fused and was then arrested. When be-
ing searched at the station house lie be-
came violent and attempted to strike
Coyle. Officers Leonard Dickson and
McGuillan all testified to this effect
Daily told Judge Hoos that he had
for the same offense by Coyle, ard when
discharged Coyle said to him:-..The
next time | get you, you'll go to the hos
pital." Coyle denied this, and in turn
said that he had heard there was plot
on foot to drop a brick on his (Coyle's)
head from some roof ON his post.
Judge Hoos at the conclusion of the
case told DAILY that he would find him
guilty and suspend sentence, but that
when he was told to move on again to
do it in hurry. Then turning to Coyle
he said, Il do not mean this for you par
ticularly butN for every officer on the
force. | want it distinctly understood
that when an officer makes an arrest, his
duty ends with his testimony in court,
and any officer who threatens a man af
ter his case has been disposed of by me
l will not rest until | have had that eff
Ger punished as he deserves"

the Police Commissioners with his case.

the Story of Jonah.

The Rev. Mr.. Charles Hogg of Ches-
ter, Pa, preached in the North Baptist

of JONAH" Perhaps a great many peo-

that he would take the side of the con-
troversy that the story was only told to
teach some lesson.
If they did they were decidedly disap-
pointed. He did say that he didn't be-
lieve that a whale swallowed Jonah but
he thought big fish did. He says that
scientists say there are fish in the Medi-
terranean large enough to swallow
horse alive let alone man. That he be-
and then through the prayers Of the
people God allowed him to return to lis
native city He said he believed it was
one of Gods mysteries.

Blue Over His Lost

The Republican officials in the City
Hall were greatly disturbed on Saturday
when they read in "The Jersey City
News" that the knell of the Excise
Commission had been sounded by the
Board of Aldermen. The ..Kommishes''
in particular were filled with gloom as
they saw visions of $1,000 per and the
glory Of holding public Office fading
away. II On. John o'Brien, who has

Commissioner, is said to have expressed

an outrage Mr.. O'Brien's ideas could

The Democrats of this city have been
advised and are convinced that the law
