H0LD-UPS NEAR TRINIDAD.
Bloody Battle Between Robbers and
Saloon Men.
ONE HOLD-UP KILLED.

A special dispatch to the Denver Re
publican. under date of April 20. SAYS:
In q hand-to-hand struggle with
knives and ~revolvers. resulting from
an attempt mad by two negroes to
hold up a saloon, John Rudolph. one
of the negroes, was killed and the pro-
prietor and bartender of the saloon
badly injured. The tragedy occurred
at Bowen, a coal camp near here. and
had so incensed the people of that
place hat for a time they refused to
give the body to to the coroner. stating
that they intended to saturate it with
kerosene and burn it in the public
square. One of the negroes in escap-
ing dived through a close barbed wire
fence and left a portion of his lip hang
ing on the wire.
Yesterday the two strange negroes
stayed about the saloon of F. r. Ray
mond in Bowen all day. They bought
and drank much beer and when they
stated that their money was all gone,
they were given a can of beer and told
to move away. TINS was at 8 O'Clock
in the evening. The wind was blowing
and as the men said they had no place
to stay, they were allowed to sleep in
the saloon until about IL o'clock. when
the proprietor told them he wished to
close and ordered them out. They
went only as far as the front porch of
the building. George Gill, the barten-
der, retired to a room in the rear, and
the proprietor began to take the days
proceeds from the cash register when
the ME entered and demanded two
blasses of beer. Raymond went to the
beer pump to draw them, when one of
thn arrAoe nraanoJ hin, lx, fhn thrnat
and, drawing a knife, said:
- you if you open your mouth
| will cut your head off,"
Raymond began to struggle and the
negro cut his cheek from the ear to
the corner of the mouth. He made an
other lunge with the weapon, just as
Raymond reached for his revolver.
Raymond received the second wound
in his left shoulder. The other negro
in the meantime was filling his pockets
with the money from the cash register,
which had been left open. Raymond
shot at him, but missed. Gill hearing
the shot ran from the inner room, re-
volver in hand. The negro sprang at
him with a chair in n hand and the
knife in the other stabbing him in the
shoulder just as he sent a bullet into
his head through his left eye. Gill
shot the negro twice more in the aldo
men. but he ran about fifty feet before
he fell dead.
Raymond shot at the other negro,
who had started to run carrying the
drawer of the cash register with him.
Gill gave chase and when he was
pressing close the negro dived through
a fence. tearing his face frightfully.
Raymond and Gill becoming weakfrom
loss of blood were compelled to give
up the chase.
Coroner Sites was notified and when
he arrived on the scene found the
t~ownspeople preparing to burn the
negro's body.
Papers found on the dead mans
clothes revealed his name to be John
Rudolph. Several negroes have been
arrested as suspects, but as none had
a torn lip. they will not be held. About
$50 was secured by the fugitive.

DREADED FIRE BOX.
False Alarms Sounded Now by
Someone Unknown at Fatal
No. PAL.

Fire box No. 241 at Erie street and
Pavonia avenue, is known as Fatal
24i." Every time it is pulled the fire.
men and police shudder. 1t was this box
that was pulled for the fire in the base
ment of Colonel Boltwood's hardware
store in which Fire Chief William Far
rier was killed.
In the past few weeks several false
alarms were sent in from this box. The
police have made every effort to catch
the offenders, but without success. A few
days ago citizen caught small boy
smashing the glass of the box that con-
tains the alarm key. He threatened the
little fellow with arrest. The child said
it was the first time he had done it, and
he cried so and begged SO hard for free
dom that the citizens heart was touched
and he let his little prisoner go. Yester-
day 241 was sounded and there was con-
siderable excitement in the vicinity of
Hamilton Park, because it was said a
fire had broken out in st. Francis's Hos
pital. There was no truth in the rumor
The fire was in the apartments of Mr..
Outwin on Eighth street, and very little
damage was done.

CHURCH DISCORD
st. Matthews Lutheran Con-
gregation May Split Over
Selection Of Pastor.

The Rev. Mr.. Bavendam of St Mat
thew's Lutheran Church was elected pas
tor of that church at congregational
meeting Wednesday evening, in spite OF
the opposition of the members who
wanted preaching in German.
The Rev. Mr.. Petersen, the pastor for
the past twenty-one years, resigned last
September. Then Mr.. Bayendam, who
had been elected as Mr.. Petersen's assist
ant for one year, and whose term had
run out. was considered as a candidate.
The congregation at one of the meetings
decided he was not the man for the
place. This met with opposition and
a petition was sent to many of the men,
bers to sign, asking them to reconsider
the matter. They did this, and at the
meeting last Wednesday evening he was
elected
Although he was elected by major
ity, there are a great many who declare
they will have nothing to do with the
church while he is there. From all ap-
pearanccs there will be split, as many
have said that if he does not leave they
will start church of their own. Many
Of these are the moneyed people in the
church.
Mr.. Bavendam will begin preaching
next Sunday. He will preach in Ger
man at the morning service and in Eng
lish at the evening service.

that tile Central recently purchased a
plot Of land at Elizabethpcrt, 200x5, 900
feet, for the purpose of building yard.
The company also proposes developing
the st. Charles street yard at Elizabeth,

wanted to develop a tract 200x6, 600 feet.
west OF Communipaw avenue This long
yard, he said. was for the purpose of re-
iieving the main yard. The contract had
been awarded, but the city has held up
the work.
Mr Douty testified that the company
had $4,000 lineal feet of tracks in Jersey
City in 1885, which was increased to
2f2,360 feet in 1891. He said that if the
average increase per year was kept up it

On cross examination Mr.. Record
brought out the fact that the directors Of
the Central had directed the witness to
sell land at Communipaw for $1,000 an
acre.
Then the Corporation Counsel wanted
this testimony stricken from the record.
Mr.. Edwards objected.

was authorized to SELL
The city Tax Board assessed the pron-

spoke several times to the witness and
the Corporation Counsel exclaimed
Senator. this isn't fair You ought

Much Speculation Regard
ing the Boards Organ
ization Next Month. 4
CLERK EAGAN TO STAY
Frederick R,app and William
Pairson the leading Can
didates for Director.
CLERK EAGAN TO STAY

| There is already much speculation re-
| garding the organization of the new
Board of Freeholders, which will assume
control of County affairs Oh December l
next. Although no caucus of the mem
bers-elect has as yet been held the pre-
valent impression is that there will be
little. if any change, in the personnel of
the appointees in the different depart
ments of the County government when
the new board of twenty-six members
enters ON its duties.
CLERK EAGAN TO STAY.
The present board of nine members
will adjourn sine die OH the mroning of
December /, and at noon the same day
the new board will proceed to organize.
1t is practically settled that the present
efficient and popular clerk, John p. Eag-.
an, will be reelected without opposition,
and that County Superintendent G. z.
Smith will succeed himself, only that the
title of his office will be changed to Coun-
ty Engineer to comply with the proyis-
ions of the Essex act under which the
Freeholders were elected last Tuesday.
CANDIDATES FOR DIRECTOR.
1t SENS to be conceded that the Direc
tor of the Board will be chosen from
among the several former Freeholders
who will be members of the new body.
These are:-Frederick Rippe. of Union
Hill, and William Pairson, Alex. J.
Clements. Charles G. Schmitt and JOS
eph w. Griffin, of Jersey City. 1t is said
that the choice will probably be between
the first. two named, although neither
has as yet announced his candidacy for
the position.
Freeholder-elect Ripe was a member
of the Board from 1894 until 1900,
Freeholder Pairson served in the county
governing body from 1887 to 1890 and
was chosen director in 1888 and 1889.

-|NAeS~
News":-
''Tax Payers" letter, which appeared
in your issue of October %, was very
much TO the point. especially the refer
ence to rock excavation for School No.
2S. This matter should be thoroughly
investigated by the city authorities or
else by the Grand Jury.
1t is well known that serious objec-
tions were made to the site chosen for
the building long before the purchase,
and that the rocky nature of the ground
was well established before same was
acquired.
The papers published the facts in the
matter, but despite all knowledge con-
cerning the character of the ground, the
same was recommended for purchase by
the 'Hon.' committee, representing the
eleventh and twelfth wards. Knowing
all these facts, the ordinary methods of
ascertaining the amount of rock to be
excavated were ignored, no borings being
taken, as is customary in matters Of this
kind.
The chairman of the commit
tee having the erection of the
building in charge, when spoken to
about this terrible blunder, is reported to
have made the astounding statement that
there was 10 way Of ascertaining the
amount of rock to be excavated until the
diggers got to it. If the learned gentle
man had consulted the engineering de-
partment of our city he might have dis
covered that in all cases of the kind the
approximate amount of rock to be cx-
cavated is always advertised, and accur-
ate competitive estimates are received
thereon.
The ignorance Of the persons having
the erection of the building in charge
cost the taxpayers from $4,000 to
$14,0G0. In view of the fact that the
character of the site was well known
from the beginning. and with full knowl-
edge before him, is it not astounding?
Is it not criminal negligence or ignor-
ance at least, to have foisted upon the
city rock contract at FIVE dollars per
yard when BID for one dollar and fif-
ty cents per yard was before the board
at the time the contract was let?
Some explanation should be offered.
Ncne has yet been given. The whole
question should, and will, be placed be-
fore the Grand Jury at the proper time,
and perhaps the apologists for the phe-
nominal school will then lay bare their
self-righteousness and tell us why.

HOB0KEN'S new SCHOOL.
At Last Ground Is Broken for the
Long Desired Building.

Ground was broken this morning for
the much-needed school house in the tene-
ment section of Hoboken. The Commits
sioners have worked for the building the
past two years, but have been opposed
by the Common Council on the ground
that the buying of site should have
been supervised by that branch of the
municipal government. The change in
the school laws has been partly respon-
sible for the delay.
The matter was adjusted at the meet
ing of the Commissioners last night,
when contracts were awarded and the
owners of the $4,000 site were paid for
the property. The school will cost about
$15O,OOO.
