son. of u Court street, with having in
suited her In Washington street, near
Pearl, last night at 11:3O o'clock.
When Alcado was called to plead it was
found that he was unable to speak Eng
fish. A search was made for an inter.
prefer. Finally Mrs. Calihre, who was in
court, agreed to help in getting at the
merits of the case. Judge Howell readily
agreed tc have her act, and instead OF
proving a long, spun-out trial, was speedily
ended.
The Italian was given a severe sentence
for interfering with Mrs. Hendrickson.
The woman was waiting for her husband
on the street. Alcado watched her, and
when she whistled for her dog the italian
mimicked her.
When Judge Howell askedahim what he
was doing In Washington street, near mid
night he was unable to explain.

tentiary,' said Judge Howell to the man,
'and any more of your kind that come be-
fore me will get the same. A woman must
be protected on the streets at night ever
though she is alone.

CAPTAINS DEATH.
Funeral Arranged for Daniel v. Nc
Keen, Who Had Charge of Franklin
A. A. Team.

The funeral of Daniel V. McKeon,
captain and acting manager of the
Franklin A. A., a semi-professional
baseball team of this city, who was
killed Saturday afternoon at Chatham
by being hit full in the face by a bat
ted ball, will be held tomorrow morn
ing from St. Miehael's Roman Catholic
Church, in Belleville avenue, when a
solemn high mass of requiem will be
celebrated by the Rev. Dennis A. Mo

ers are Raymond Donnelly, John Burke,
Frank O'Neill, William Conway, Daniel
Meskill and job McGinnis.
The Franklin team was engaged In pre-
limlnary practise when the fatal accident
occurred. McKeon was covering first base.
Each of the basemen were given a few
minutes practise at the bat. 1t came Nc
Aeon's turn to go in, and he was running
toward the home plate when a fellow play
er ON his own team struck the ball a
hard blow.
The ball struck McKeon In the mouth
when he was fifteen feet from the plate.
Whether he did not see the ball or thought
1t would pass over his head cannot be
said. He sank to the ground and did not
regain consciousness DIR. William ].
Wolfe, of Chatham, was summoned and
worked over the young man for half an
hour, without success.
Stories that n Chatham physician had re-
fused to go to the baseball grounds to at
tend McKeon, telling those who went to
his office to nave the injured boy taken to
his office, were in circulation Saturday and
today.
A resident of the section In the vicinity
of the Franklin School who Is an active
supporter of the team. and who saw the
accident. said: Il have heard the stories
about the physician. but do not believe
that any such thing occurred. The ply
slcian may have been given the impression
tEat McKeon was not badly hurt and told
the visitors to have the young man come
to his office. 1t is hard to believe that a
doctor would refuse to go to McKeon's
aid had he been aware of the injured
young mans condition. DR.. Wolfe's office
Is half a mile from the grounds and he
was there fifteen minutes after McKeon
rss hurt. Everything possible was done
for the young man."
One of the Franklin team players, a
warm friend of the dead man, tainted
when he realized that McKeon was
seriously hurt.

slightly exhausted.

phia, was knocked off her feet by a
big breaker, and tainted. The life
guards brought her ashore, and a few
minutes later rushed out for Mrs.
Michael Deverney, also >of Philadel-
phia, who vas caught by the current
and could not get back. She was great
ly exhausted when brought to the
beach, and almost hysterical from her
trying experience.
Miss Kate Malone and J. Moran. of
22S North Second street, were in dan
ger of being washed to sea by going
too far, and had to call on the guards
for help. Miss Minnie Goldstein, of 4441

in by the guards at Missouri avenue.

to shore. The majority of them did
not need the service of the beach ply
sicians.

THAT ALLIGATOR MYSTERY.
Question of How Reptiles Got in
Shrewsbury Solved.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. 19.-During
the past three months there have been
no less thar three alligators found in
the waters of the Shrewsbury River at
this place. The news of the first cap
ture was scoffed at by many of the
newspapers throughout the State, and
1t was thought that some advertising
dodge on the sea serpent line was
being worked, but when two more were
found, interest in the events became
lively.
Many theories were advanced and
now the truth has come to light.
In a little cove near the Rumson
drive there lives a man named William
Donaldson, and he keeps a small nIi-
GATOR farm on his place. Last May
three of the thick-slinned creatures
got away. These were no doubt the
ones that were found. They measured
three feet, eighteen inches and two
feet respectively.
