COIored ExcursiOnists Engage in
a Carving Match After Landing
at Sea Breeze.
NOW IN HOSPITAL.
Members of Cabil v. Simms Association
from the Eleventh Assembly District, New
York Have a Row on Board Boat and
Proceed to Settle it After Getting
Ashore.

The landing of the Cabil V. Simms
Association from the 18th assembly
district of New York, will long be re-
memb bered at Sea Breeze for the live
ly antics cut up by some of the MEM
bers yesterday which resulted in
Frank Taylor colored, being cut from
shoulder to shoulder with razor by
Edward Butler also colored, who was
in turn badly cut in the right leg by
some of Taylor's friends. Both men
are now in Smith Infrmary at New
Brighton, S. L., where they were
taken. According to a number of
people on the excursion, when the
barge Charles Steam left New York
yesterday morning for Sea Breeze in
tow of tug, some trouble was started
among the two men, and as both fell
lows had plenty of friends aboard,
there was nearly general fight At
O'Clock in the afternoon when the
barge made landing at Sea Breeze
the first two men off were Taylor and
Butler, and it is said that they started
right in for one another. Butler be-
ing the quicker of the two, made a
jab at Taylor, with his razor and cut
him from shoulder to shoulder, max
ing a deep wound. Many Of TaS lors
friends were soon on the scene and
some one cut Butler on the leg.
Patrolman Lynch, who was on duty
at the dock, soon made his way to the
scene of the trouble, and placed both
the fellows under arrest. With as
sistance he helped them on the tug
boat and ordered the captain to make
for the steamboat dock. This was
done and both men were taken before
Sergeant Cook, who was on duty at
the time. AS the sergeant considered
them pretty badly injured he oruered
that they be taken to Smith Infirmary
which was done. Later on they will
be taken to conrt. The boat got away
from Sea Breeze without any further
trouble, but many of the party went
home by way of the Staten Island
Railroad, saying that they knew very
we'll that before the boat got to New
York more blood would be spilled.

means of protection.
The plans were discussed and the

People along the Raritan river saw
an unusual sight yestreday afternoon
when big tramp ocean steamship
passed up the stream in tow of two
tugs. She was the City of San An
tonia and was bound for New Bruins

The steamer was brought down

Archibald Watt. An effort was made
to land at the borough dock at South

possible and the huge vessel was
taken to the steamboat dock of that
place where she remained for about
an hour and tLen proceeded through
the drawbridge and up the river.
She has been purchased by the
Hughes Towing Company, of New

The sight of a big steamer going up
the river excited much curiosity all
along the shore and the employees Of
the different manufacturing concerns
watched her pass with much interest.
1t is familiar sight to sue large sail
ing crafts and small steamers brought
for Baltimore and Philadelphia
through the canal, but seldom is an
ocean tramp seen.

Narrow Escape of George Jacob
son and Hans Johnson in
Midnight Fire.
WERE ASLEEP AT Time.
Dogs Bark Awakened Johnson and He in
Turn Jacobson None to Soon-Fire
Companies Respond Quickly but also
have Narrow Escape from Collision with
Train and Brick Piles.

The barking of small pet dog
owned by Hans johnson, of 26 Watson
avenue last night, saved the life of
Johnson and his son-in law, George
Jacobson and the home of both from
being burned
At 12.3O O'Clock last night, Mr..
johnson, who lives on the first floor
of the house was awakened by the
continual barking of his pet dog.
Now the dog is very quiet sort of an
animal and it seems he only barks
when there is trouble, so Mr.. John
son, thinking that something must be
wrong, got up to Investigate. He
looked around the house and yard for
some time and could find nothing,
but still the dog kept barking. Final
ly getting tired of looking around,
Mr.. johnson was Just going back to
bed again when he happened to glance
upstairs where his son-in law, whose
wife is away in Plainfeld, was asleep.
He noticed that there was very
bright glare in the parlor, which he
thought was strange and making a
dash up stairs he knocked at his SON.
in n-law's door, and receiving no re-
sponse, he broke open the door and
found the room full of sn he, from
the effects of which his son-in- law
was nearly overcome. He rus shed In
to the room to see what he\ do.
and in the meantime
turned in an alarm of fire
men were soon on the scene. The
members of Protection Hook and
Ladder Company No. l., rushed mp
stairs bringing their patent fire ex-
tinguisher with them, and with the
aid of johnson the fire was kept in
the one room and when it was finally
put out it was found that nearly
everything in the room, including the
piano, and other valuables was des-
troyed, the damage being some hun-
dreds of dollars.
Mr.. johnson is very thankful to
the fremen for their prompt action
and for the way they did thier work,
during the trouble, taking care not to
damage anything more than was
necessary. On the way out to the file
the driver of the Hooks team r
over a pile of bricks in the middle d
Smith street near Elm, where a nev
house is being constructed, there be- \
ing no light to mark the obstruction.
1t is considered very fortunate that
no one was thrown from the truck
and injured The Lincoln Hose Co.,
also had their share of excitement as
they barely escaped being struck by
a fast freight in crossing the Central
railroad tracks on Smith street. 1t
was a lucky escape and they hope it
will not be repeated.
Just how the fire started no one
seems to known, but Mr. johnson is
of the opinion that it was caused by
rat or mouse chewing a match.
