JOHN PRINCE,
SANDWICH MAN.
IN A STUP0R
Found Lying on Fayette
Street, Near Central Rail-,
road, Last Night.
TAKEN TO LOOKUP AND
VIEWED BY PHYSICIAN

John Prince, the first and only sand
wich man in this city, was found un-
conscious ON Fayette street, near the
Central railroad, shortly before IL
o. clock last night by Patrolman Mar
tin, who thought that he was intoxicat-
ed.
He notified Sergeant McDermott of
the fact and asked to have the patrol
wagon sent there. Patrolman Weitzen,
who was doing house duty, was detailed
ON the case and went to the place in
the patrol wagon. Prince was still
helpless when brought to the police
station few minutes later and had to
be carried on a stretcher.
This morning Prince was still uncon-
scious, 30 Dr. M. 8. Meinzer, the city
physician, was sent for. He quickly
arrived shortly before 9 o'clock and
tried hardA to arouse the apparently
sleeping man, but was unsuccessful.
John Prince Is a well known local
character, having carried a sign on his
back or passed bills for living during
the past two or three years. He was
Ill fed, poorly clad and at times be-
lieved to be slightly demented. On
Christmas Eve, it is said, he ate a
whole ham and seven loaves of bread
without stopping, and still wanted
more.
He told Recorder Pickersgill recently
that he was born in Belgium and had
been sandwich man in New York
before he came here about four years
ago. From his appearance one would
judge him to be about forty years old.
At noon today he was still lying un-
conscious in the corridor OF the lookup.
DR.. Meinzer decided this after
noon to send Prince to the hospital
and the ambulance was called. Just
as the men were placing him In the
am bulance he came to, and said,
Take me anywhere"
His sister, Mrs. Lynch, of 107
Barclay street, went to the police
station this morning and said that
her brother was addicted to drinking
alcohol.

SAYREV|LLE MAN SUES PUBLIC
SERVICE FOR S O,OOO DAMAGES
Bright Alleges An
Assault bV
Conductor.
OUT ALL NIGHT

G. w. Bright, of Sayrevile has
brought suit through Lawyer Thomas
Brown, of this city, against the Public
Service Railway Company for $4,000,
in the New Jersey Supreme Court.
Mr.. Bright was in South Amboy on
New Year IS Eve. and about lis o clock
Friday morning boarded trolley car
for his home. He says that there were
three OF four passengers besides him
self, and that at the deep cut bridge
outside of South Amboy the conductor
took his fare. The motorman then
beckoned to the conductor, he alleges,
to come forward and take charge of
the controller. The conductor, he fur
ther states, complied and the motorman,
whose name is given as John Applegate,
came back into the car and made him
60 out on the front platform.
AS soon as he reached there, he says,
Applegate started to beat him. In the
scuffie his hat was knocked off and the
car was stopped while the conductor
got the hat. He says he attempted to
leave the car, but the motorman held
the controller crank over his head and
threatened to kill him if he moved.
The other passengers in the car heard
the scuffiing on the front platform, but
did not realize what was taking place.
Bright says that the motorman made
him stay on the car until it reached
Milltown at 2 clock in the morning,
where he was allowed to get off. AS
he could not get a car home, he was
compelled to pay for night lodging
at a house.
1t seems that about two weeks ago
Mr. Bright left South Amboy on Apple
gate IS car for Sayreville. He says that
there were several ladies aboard and
that when the car stopped on a switch
the motorman came inside and started
to smoke The stove was also smoking
and the combination of the two, he
says, made it very uncomfortable for
the ladies. One Of them asked Bright
if he would not open the ventilators in
tho car, to admit a little fresh air.
Bright did so and claims that he was
rebuked by Applegate. Bright was sur
prised at the conduct of the motorman
and said that he would report the mat
ter to the company. This, he thinks,
was why he was maltreated Friday
morning.
Bright later saw one of the inspectors
and gave him the details of the Incl
dent, but did not give him any names,
as he was not acquainted with either
the conductor or motorman. Mr.. Bright
Is about twenty-five years old.

FOR INCLUDING
TO
POSTMASTERS
They Would Like to Be
Placed Under The Civil
Service Rules.
(From the NEWS oorre,pondentJ

Washington, D. c., Jan. 5:--Many of
the men who are holding positions in
the state of New Jersey as assistant
postmasters in some of the larger post
offices would like very much to be plac-
ed under civil service rules. Should
this be done it would result in the re-
tention in office indefinitely Of lot of
men who otherwise would be dropped
out of the postal service with the
change of postmasters. 1t is the old
story Of the "ins' wanting to stay In,
although there is undoubtedly lot of
merit to the argument that the associa-
tion of assistant postmasters advances
Resolutions Forwarded.
The annual meeting of this associa-
tion was held at Elizabeth in February
last. Copies of resolutions adopted at
that time have just been forwarded to
some of the New Jersey congressman.
These resolutions state that the assist
ant postmasters are obliged to observe
the rules Of the civil service law while
they share none of Its benefit This, of
course, means first of all that they do
not retain their position in the event
Of change being made in the postmsst-
er. 1t has always been held heretofore,
that the postmaster should have the
privilege of naming his assistant be-
cause of the closeness Of their associa-
tion.
The On1css Affected.
Among the large offices in the third
district that would be affected should
these employees ever be placed under
the civil service blanket would be AS
bury Park, Long Branch, Ocean Grove,
Red Bank, Lakewood, Toms River, New
Brunswick and Perth Ampoy.
The assistant postmssters Of New
Jersey also indorse the recommendation
Of the postal commission which urged
the appointment Of a "Director Of
Posts" to supersede all assistant post
master general 8 order that there shall
always be retained, next to the head
of the department, person of exper-
ience who Is in touch with everything
pertaining to the postal service.
For Arsenal Employees.
Numerous residents of Atlantic High
lands and other towns in Monmouth
county are interested in the bill which
is designed to give civilian employees
of the various government arsenals and
proving grounds the usual thirty days
leave with pay, the same as is given to
the employees of the government in the
departments in this city. Representa-
tive Weeks has introduced a bill, and
it has been referred to the committee
of Military Affairs, of which Represen-
tative Parker of New Jersey, is a men,
Der. There are a number Of civilian
employees at Sandy Hook who would be
benefited by the enactment of this bill.
