.SHARKEY AND HANSEN
TO WRESTLE APRIL q.
Sharkey Selects Catch Catch
Can StyIe-To Be Thrown Twice
In An Hour.

b. P. Hansen, the local wrestler,
this morning received word from
Sharkey accepting Hansen's challenge
for match. Hansen's challenge was
rather sweeping. He offered to tackle
any man, any style, at any time for
any number of falls.
Sharkey took this up and selected
catch-as- catch-can. Hansen agrees to
throw him twice in an hour or forfeit
the purse which is $780, The winner
also gets seventy-five per cent of the
gate receipts. The match is fixed for
April 81 in Wilder Hall. To insure
sufficient seats for the crowd expected
to attend, 400 chairs have been hired
for the occasion. These added to the
200 already in the hall, it is believed
will accommodate all who will attend.
Hansen says he is not afraid of
Sharkey. He thinks the pugilist is a
better fighter than wrestler The
local man is getting somewhat out of
his class when he accepts catch-as-
catch-can style, but the Dane SAYS he
is almost as good in that as he is in
Graeco- Roman, and does not believe
that he will be handicapped.

able management of John Grimley
and his assistants, Percy Coutts and
Clifford Woglom.
At ten O'Clock the grand march. led
by Leonard Grimley and Miss Flor
ence Worrell, with fifty-four couples
in line, began. The music of the or
chestra was enchanting. One could
not help keeping step. Pretty figures
were gracefully formed. ending with
the letters E. A. O. in honor of the
club. When those who watched saw
the human letters they applauded
heartily.
After the grand march, dancing was
again the feature of the evening until
IL. 30 O'Clock when a supper was
served. The guests danced until early
this morning.
The following were on the commit
tee: Percy Coutts, chairman; Thomas

Like John 7. Larsen.

The crew of the tug boat Luther M.
Ward, of the Hartford g. New York
Transportation Company were evident
ly seeing things last night. Their
boat was moored at Halls dock and
during the wee sma' hours one of
those on board awoke and thought he
saw man clad only in an undershirt
prowling about in the lumber yard
nearby. He aroused several others
and they too were persuaded that they
saw the man.
One of the crew sneaked ashore and
summoned Policeman Long. When
the officer heard the story he at once
concluded that perhaps the crazy
sailor, John 7. Larsen, who nearly
killed another sailor, Andrew N.

could not not be found, believing that
Larsen's ghost was abroad. The tug
left early this morning the story of
the crew could not be obtained
directly.
Chief Burke has the missing sailor S

FIERCE GALES BLOW
VESSELS AGROUND.
Hqh Tide Along Shore And Waves Sweep Over BUkheGd7Ug
Boats Busy Keeping SchOOneTs Ap0rW Drag Anchors ana
Several Come AshOre--ROUgh Weather Outside.

The worst storm of the season is
raging along the New Jersey coast
In this port an easterly gale is sweep
ing up the bay carrying everything
before it. There was an exceedingly
high tide this morning and there was
not vessel in the harbor that did not
drag her anchor. Tug boats have been
kept busy keeping the sCtOoners and
barges from being carried up on shore.
The wind carries a binding rain
which makes traffic difficult.
A News reporter went along shore
this morning and in many places the
big waves, driven by the gale, were
leaping high over the bulkheads caus-
ing more or less damage. The small
er crafts, although securely tied, were
being swamped by the high seas and
the larger ones dragged their anchors
until they went ashore threatening
destruction to some of the smaller
boats.
The three masted schooner Eliza A.
Scribner went ashore at the foot of
Market street, as did also the two
masted schooner Eaglet Both of
them signaled for tugs. Just below
Van Pelt's boat house five schooners
had dragged their anchors until they
had come within stones throw of
each other and they all threatened to
crash into the docks along the shore.
The three masted schooner Lizzie J.
Call, was dangerously close to the
shore.
The Pennsylvania light tow bound
from New York to South Amboy, was,
owing to the heavy seas in the bay,
forced to tie up at Browns ship yard
in Tottenville while the tow stretched
half way across the sound.
The tugs Nemaskett, Lehigh, Wal
than and G. M. Wilson, all employed
in the transportation service towing
coal barges down east, were in port
this morning on account of the heavy
weather. They reported very dirty
weather outside and some of them
ready to start had to leave their tows
in the lower bay with two anchors
out.
The damage done thus far is con-
siderable, but not as bad as has been
reported in former years. If there is
no let up before the next food tide
longshoremen fear more damage will
result

Caught Fire Shortly After -Four
O'clock And Burned For.
An Hour.
BLAZE WAS FIERCE.
Passengers at The Local Station Waited
Long For a Train To New YOrk-The
"Scoot' Only Came As Far As SeWaren
Then Returned-TwO Express Trains
We're Held BY The Fire.

South bound trains on the Central
railroad yesterday afternoon were held
up at the Woodbridge creek bridge by
the burning of $50 creosoted railroad
ties piled alongside of the tracks. The
fire occurred about 4 O'Clock and hun
dreds of New York commuters were
kept waiting in the stalled trains,
while about $50 passengers at the
station in this city were forced to
wait several hours before they could
get train for New York.
How the ties caught fire is a mys-
terry, but it is supposed spark from
a passing engine is to blame Such a
hot fire was made that the trains were
unable to pass.
The short train known as the
"scoot," due here at 4.35 O'Clock, did
not come to this city at all. It's bag
gage was transferred at Sewaren and
1t returned on its trip to Jersey City.
This forced the passengers at Perth
Amboy, bound for New York, to wait
for the 500 which was late.
Besides the delay and inconvenience
caused to the patrons of the road the
mail and evening papers were DELAYED
an hour.
