ACCIDENT TO
EXPRESS TRAIN

The bursting of a boiler in the
engine of northbound express train
from Atlantic Highlands shortly be-
fore s o'clock this morning greatly
delayed train traffic through this city
to New York.
While the express was going
through Keansburg, a portion of the
boiler blew out, scalding the fireman
SO badly that he was unable to con-
tinue at his post. The crippled train
lay at Keansburg while the fireman
was receiving attendance for nearly
an hour. When a local train from
Atlantic Highlands and the regular
Matawan train came along they haul
ed the train TO Matawan, where a
new engine was secured and the ex-
press, an hour late continued on its
journey.
The accident greatly impaired
train service to this city, and up to
IL o'clock, trains bound northward
were an hour late.
The students from Keyport and
Matawan who attend Trainers school
did not arrive until nearly 1 o'clock.

$1,000 BAIL
FOR Assault 7

Joseph Monat, of 103 Cortiandt
street, was held in 81 900 bail for
the grand jury this morning by Re-
corder Pickersgill on charge c. nit
ting Joseph Mesack, of the same ad-
dress, over the head, last night, vita
blunt instrument, thought by the
police to have been pair of iron
knuckles. Mesack was badly cut,
a physician. Monat was taken to
New Brunswick this morning by
Marshal Walters.
At $3.50 o'clock last night Patrol
man l.. G. Jensen was trying doors
on his beat, when he was notified
that man had been badly cut by an
other and the assailant was about to
run away. The policeman found
that Monat and Mesack had a quar-
rel and that Mesack had been struck
over the head, and was in a bad way.
Sergeant Mulligan, at police head
quarters, was notified and Rounds
man Morris was sent to help Jensen,
II necessary. They arrested Monat
and, while Jensen was taking him to
headquarters, the roundsman tcok
the injured man to the Office of City
Physician M. S. Meinzer. where his
wounds were dressed, and he was
then taken to police headquarters
where he was held as a witness until
this morning.
Mesack, through Morris Slobodien,
who acted as interpreter. told the re-
corder that, after an argument,
Monat hit him over the head with
what he though was a heavy pair of
brass knuckles. Monat said Mesack
cut him with a knife. Detective
Sergeant HUFF said he would search
the room of Monat in hopes of find
ing the brass knuckles or other wea-
pon used.
Huff went to the home of Monat
and in trunk, he found a pair of
iron knuckles. The knuckles looked
as if they had been used a great deal.
The fight started in a saloon on
Cortlandt street.

Grew Also Taken
Off After a
Struggle.
A RAGING SEA
lifehoat Crew Had Terrific Bat
tie Of Five Hours Before They

Dashed to Pieces on
Nantucket Shoals.

NANTUCKET, Mass, Jan. 81
Bound from South Amboy, N. j., for
V1nal Haven, Me-, with a cargo of
soft coal, the Newport brigantine
Fredericka Schepp was wrecked yes
terday on the north side of Coatue
Beach. After desperate struggle
of five hourse against intense cold
of five hours against intense cold
the Coskata Station rescued the en-
tire crew of six men. Mrs. Charles
Oversen, wife of the captain, and her
year-old baby, who were on board,
were also taken off the stranded YES
sci.
The Fredericka Schepp left South
Anlboy last Sunday. Wednesday
night the brigantine encountered a
northwest gale, and anchored under
the lee of the Handkerchief shoal.
The heavy seas tumbled over her,
forming tons of ice. The crew suffer-
ed severely in the zero weather. Sew
eral of the men were frost bitten and
narrowly escaped being swept over
board
After daylight attempts were made
to approach the brigantine, but the
seas ran SO high that the daring life
savers had to retreat. For five hours
the struggle went on, and finally the
men were successful in reaching the
vessel. With much difficulty all
those on board were taken off. Mrs.
Oversen displayed rare courage dur
ing her trying experience. Both she
and her young son, although exposed
to the severe weather for some time,
do not show any i'll effects.
The shtpwrecked people are being
cared for by the townspeople.

RIDIcUlEs THE INSANITY PLEA
Special bv United Press wire |:

oPoCtul W Ontteu Pf6SS WFe:
NEW YORK, Jan. 31:-Harry K
Thaw's fate rests with the jury. At
11:40 O'Clock this morning, after lis
tening to an elaborate charge by JUS
tice Dowling the jury retired and
began celebrating.
The scenes about the courtroom
were utterly devoid of any signs Of
a sensation. Justice DCwling. by his
charge effectively cleared the atmos-
phere. He called killing murder and
had impressed on the twelve men
that their duty was to decide wheth-
er or not Thaw knew what he did
when he fired the shots from the re-
volver that ended the life of Stan
ford White.
AS soon as the presiding Justice
ended the explanation Of the law
bearing on the case the court officers,
who were to have the jury in charge
were sworn and a brief conference
with the Jurors followed. Then
Foreman Gremmets requested that
the jury be given the exhibits in the
case.
Thaw was asked If he would waive
his constitutional rights and by ad-
vice of counsel he declared he would.
The Jury then retired. Thaw, who
was plainly in highly nervous con-
dftion was escorted to one of the
prison ante rooms where his wife and
mother soon afterward joined him.

DARING THIEVES CUT
DOWN TROLLEY WIRE
About 200 Feet Of.
Feed Line Is
Stolen.
DURING NIGHT.

Thieves who the Public Service
Corporation officials believe to be ex-
pert wire cutters, stole between $50
and 200 feet of trolley feed wire last
night at Crab Beach, near Sewaren.
The wire, according to an official of
the Public Service, is valued at about
5000.
Early this morning when the local
trolley cars were passing over the
stretch near Boynton Beach the crews
noticed that something was wrong
and, upon investigation, found that
a great length of the feed wire had
been cut down. The matter was at
once reported to the local Office, and
later on the police we're notified Of
the theft. Public Service Corpora
ton men and Chief Burke are now
investigating.
An official of the Public Service
Corporation this morning said that
the job had doubtless been done by
men who knew the business of wire
cutting, as no novice would take the
risk of trying tc steal feed wire, with
the heavy voltage that passes
through it, and that only someone
who knew how to ground the wire
could have done 1t.
The theft could have been COM
mitted easily by two men, but they
must have been armed with the nee
essary tools. They probably had a
horse and wagon, as otherwise they
would not have been able to cart the
loot away.
Although the thieves have secured
the wire they will not find 1t an easy
matter to dispose of it, as the po-
lice will have local and out-of-town
junk shops watched.

HAD BOGUS
S | 90 BILL.
StOrekeeper Did Not Get Wise"
Until He Went 10 Bank for
Change.
LET THE MATTER DROP
Jacobson Of the Opinion That
! Foreigner Was Being Used
as a Tool.

An attempt to pass a worthless
800 bill on Leo Jacobson, a cloth
ing dealer at 221 Smith street, was
made yesterday afternoon.
Jacobson was not aware of the fact
that the bill was worthless and he at
tempted to change 1t In Greenspan's g
grocery, next door to his clothing
store. Greenspan would have cashed
the bill, but he was short Of change
jacobson then rushed to the First
National Bank, while the customer
in his store was waiting. He was
told that the bill was not worth a
cent and he returned to his store in
q hurry. He handed the bill to the
fellow and took back the overcoat
and hat which he was about to sell
the man.
] 1t is the opinion of Mr.. jacobson
that the customer who attempted to
pass the counterfeit was ignorant Of
what he was doing. He was Dane
and spoke but little English. Mr..
Jacobson believes that he was a tool
In someone's hands. Jacobson did
not wish to have him arrested.
