SMALL B @ Y
is ACCUSED.
Eleven Year Old Boy Arrested
Charged With Entering the
Confectionery Store.

George Fisher, eleven years old,
was arrested at the ferry this morn
ing by Patrolman McDermott. Young
Fisher, who has been arrested num-
Der of times for running away from
home, was trying to buy a ticket from
one of the gatemen, when seen by
the policeman. Fisher was dressed
in new suit of clothes and had a
dollar bill in his hand at the time.
Thinking that he acted peculiar, Nc
Dermott took Fisher to the police
station. There he was closely ques-
toned by Chief Burke, and on being
searched, about So in change was
found in his pockets.
This gave Chief Burke a clue, and
he at once accused Fisher of robbing
Fowlers store recently. Fisher soon
confessed, and on his own admission
will be held until Recorder Pickers-
gill returns.
1t is possible that the youth is also
connected with some of the other
petty thefts that have been reported
recently.

Mr.. CIANI STRICKEN.
Became Unconscious Yesterday and
Has Remained So Since.

Victor A. Ciani, of 113 Rector
street, was suddenly taken i'll yester-
day morning, and last night his con-
dition was such that it was feared
death would result. Mr.. Ciani, it is
said, was in his yard yesterday morn
ing experimenting some work on
his house when, on account of faint
feeling, went into the house. He
was found shortly afterward, by Mrs,
Ciani, lying on the floor. Mr.. Ciani
was bereft of all speech and could
only family move his arms at the
time. DR.. j. G.. Wilson was summon
ed at once, and thought that he was
suffering from a stroke of paralysis
Mr.. Giants condition grew worse
rapidly and medical aid was required
constantly. Last night it was thought
that his chances for recovery were
slight, but according to a statement
of DR.. J. G. Wilson, he is slightly bet
ter today.
Mr.. Ciani is well known in this
city, and has acquired much fame as
sculptor and artist The electrolier
anu lIC lolt VI pdltly 1T II illIl tNcHut
and 23d street, New York, opposite
the Flatiron building, are his achieve
ments. A number of well known
paintings also bear his name.
Although this is the first attack
of this kind, it is understood that Mr.
Ciani has not been well recently, and
should he recover from this stroke
his physical condition would be very
weak.
This afternoon Mr. Ciani had not
yet regained consciousness and Dr.
wilson now has some doubt whether
1t is paralysis. The summer has been
particularly hard one for Mr.. Cia-
nj and it is possible that he was
stricken with the heat.

SCHEME
N|PPED IN THE BUD.
Had a Clever Trap TO Capture the
Woodbridge Delegation But
Failed.
SUGGESTED Mr.. MARTIN
Declared Woodbridge Should
Give Him Complimentary
Vote.

Boss Strong's trick to get control
of the Woodbridge delegation to the
county convention was nipped in the
bud by the best citizens of that place
this week. A republican caucus was
held to select delegates and by big
majority of the citizens present the
delegates We're instructed to vote for
Col. Fordyce for the nomination for
state senator.
1t is said that Boss Strong sent
word to the Woodbridge leaders that
it would be a nice thing for the
Woodbridge delegation to go to the
convention prepared to give compli-
mentary vote to j. H. Thayer Martin.
Mr.. Martin was an assemblyman
along with Col Fordyce and did ex-
cellent work while in the legisla-
ture. He is not looking for any of
flee this year.
1t was Boss Strong's scheme to
have the Woodbridge delegation go
TO the convention practically unpledg-
ed, knowing full well that Mr.. Martin
would not be nominated, and then,
after vote on the first ballot, the
seven men would swing over to him
and obey the party lash.
1t was nice thing to do, and Mr..
Martin is deserving of all the honor
Woodbridge can shower upon him,
but there is too much at stake this
year and the delegation is not going
to have anything to do with Boss
Strong and the mere fact that he sug-
gested such a thing to put an end to-
any such movement if such one
had been contemplated.
Woodbridge is for Col. Fordyce
and as soon as Boss Strong's trick
was seen the best people of the
community got busy, with the result
that representative citizens are going
to the county convention to vote for
Col. Fordyce.
The delegates are: First district
NJ ID. Valentine, James P. Pra1l and
Charles Il. Brown.
Second district-Arthur Berry and
John Treen, Jr.
Third district-Harry G. Turner.
These men are all enthusiastic For
dyce supporters and they are sure of
election.
