THIEVES IN

|. R. Robbins Complains to the
Police that His Lumber
Yard is their Haunt.

For the third or fourth time in sew
eral months l. X. Robbins reported to
the police that his Office had been
entered by thieves this morning. Some

entered and postage stamps to the
vafpe of rs cents we're taken. The

Upon the three or four previous

anything of very great value. The
ward is not near to any houses or
buildings inhabited at night, and is
also some distance from the road.

New Brunswick, Jan. 29--The Jacob
Rabinowitz disorderly house case went
to the jury this noon, all Of the evil
dence having been put in on both
sides at the close of the afternoon
session yesterday.
The hardest fight during the trial
was just at the close yesterday when
Prosecutor Voorhees, called witnesses
showing that witness for the defense
had threatened one of the States wit
nesses during the trial Wednesday.
Lawyer Oowenhoven was very persist.
ent in his effort to keep this evidence
out, but the court allowed it.
The matter was first brought to the
attention of the court when the Prose
cutor recalled Max Ssoarney, a witness
for the defense, and asked him if he
had not the day before threatened
Jacob Fish if he testified against
him and told the truth when called
OIL the stand. Secarney denied this
but did admit that he talked to Fisher
about the case and told him not to
mention his name in connection with
it. He also. went to Fishers house
and told him this again. He denied
making any threats. He wanted the
Prosecutor to protect his life and ne
would tell all that occurred at the
Fisher house Wednesday night The
Prosecutor said he would but the wit
ness was afraid apparently to go
further into the case.
Fisher was then called and testified
to Secarney threatening to make
trouble for him if he went on the
stand and told the truth.
The State did not call any further
witnesses and the defense recalled
Mr.. SecarneY to explain his side OF
the matter in controversy. He SAID
he had heard from Morris Slobodien
that Fisher was subpoenaed to testify
against him as to his character and
Wednesday night he visited his house
to find out why he was opposed to
him. On that occasion Fisher told
him that he was iunkdealer and that
the Chief had his eye on him and he
couldn't get out of testifying. This
ended the case.
Earlier yesterday the defendant was
called and made general denial OF
the charge. Louis Antonio was also
called.

The Bins at The Coal Docks are
Almost a Solid Mass and
Picks are Necessary.
MAKE LITTLE HEADWAY.
Men Find it Difficult to Get Coal Out Of the
Bins and Many Men are Kept Busy Picking
II Lcose-Progress is Slow Supply at
the Docks isl Not up to the Normal
Cold Weather Results.

There is much trouble at the coal
docks due to the continued cold
weather. This arises from the freez-
ing of the coal in large masses. 1t is
worse with the small sizes than with
the large, but nearly all the coal that
has been in the bins, for the last three
or four weeks, is in practically the
same condition.
A large gang of men was at work in
O half-full bin of stove coal yesterday
afternoon, all armed with picks. The
coal came off in small amounts at
each stroke of the pick. Every few
minutes an extra large masslwould be
dislodged near the top of the slope
and go sourrying down to the bottom.
Often, for few seconds at time, a
steady stream of the Jumps would flow
down, the men near the bottom some
times being knee deep in it. The
supply on hand is not up to the normal
amount, but is ample.
One foreman said yesterday that ne
had not seen the coal frozen up, as ii
has been lately, for more than fifteen
years.
