POLICE COTJHT DOINGS
Case Against Vitriol Thrower Settled
. ' - for $100. 5
The case of the state against the
colored girl, Izetta Alexander, for
throwing vitriol In the face of the col
ored man who would not requite her
love, Johnson Ilaile, was settled this
morning. The sum of $100 was p?id
by J. Edward Jones, the girl's
bondsman. Whether or not the mon
ey came from Jones's poeketbook does
not appeal-, but it is believed that it
did not, for some time before court
opened he was in consultation with
the girl and a friend of hers in a cor
ner of the court room. Judge Bin-pee
was about to take his place on the
bench when Jones entered the ante
room with the money to settle the
ease. Everybody is amazed at the
disposition of this remarkable ease,
and while a great many agree that the
girl had cause to express her feelings
toward Hailr- in some forcible manner,
they are still of the opinion that her
awful act merited severe punishment.
The penalty provided by the statute's
for such a crime is a long term in the
state prison.
It was stated yesterday that Ilaile
said he would agree to drop the case,
proiding the girl would leave town.
While that element of the case did not
enter into the settlement, it is supposed
that she will leave the city in order to
more speedily forget the conseipiciic-cs
of her extremely rash act oC Christmas
eve.
A complaint for intoxication against
"'iili;i in Lawlur was milled for 7, and
Michael Brick, charged with non-support
of his wife and children, was giv
en two weeks in which to get. work.
If he fails to do so. he will be re-arrested
and sent to jail.
P. T. Hayes, proprietor of a well
known cafe on South Main street,
pleaded guilty to allowing' Ids son on
his licensed premises. There were two
counts against. Mr Hayes embodied in
one complaint, one charging him with
allowing a minor, his son. to loiter on
his premises, and the other with em
ploying a. minor, his son. Mr Hayes
stated that, he believed that the law
made an exception of one's son being
engaged in the sale of honor, but the
court informed him that there was not.
He was accordingly lined the mini
mum. $10. Prosecuting Agent Tierce
stated that the complainant in the case
was a Bank street merchant."' There
is an impression abroad, however, to
the effect that the complainant was
some one who had a grudge against
Mr Hayes.
BOTH WANT MRS RICHARDS.
Charged With Taking Stolen Property
Into New Jersey From Connecticut.
Trenton. N. J., Dec 27. Governor
Voorhees yesterday granted an appli
cation of the Connecticut authorities
for the extradition of Mrs E. S. Rich
ards, of Bridgeport, Conn, who is now
confined in the Bergen county jail and
is wanted in New Jersey as well as in
Connecticut. In allowing the requisi
tion the governor does not surrender
the woman, but he decided after a con
ference with the attorney-general that
should she obtain bail for the Jersey
offenses charged against her she may
be seized by the Connecticut authori
ties; otherwise she must stand trial in
this state. Detective Cronan of
Bridgeport, who had the woman ar
rested in Hacktnsaek, returned there
to await a chance to take her into
custody.
Mrs Richards, it is alleged, pur
chased a livery stable in Bridgeport on
the representation that she owned x
considerable amount of real estate, and
then removed the stock to Hackensack.
There she was charged with bringing
stolen goods into the state. She was
also charged with stealing a horse aud
carriage lured at Bloomtield.
Mrs Richards was represented at the
hearing bv ex-Judge Beans, of Bridge
port, and' Lawyer Hart, of Hacken
sack. while on the other side were
Prosecutor Heed, of Hackensack, and
Tercv Johnson, of Bridgeport. The
Connecticut authorities have lodged a
detainer with the sheriff of Bergen
county.

BRYAN AT THE FEAST.
First Public Appearance Since Elec
tion. LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. 27. The annual
banquet of the Jefferson club of Lincoln
at the Lincoln hotel brought together
nearly 300 representative men of the
Democratic and Populist parties of Ne
braska, together wiih a number of lead
ers from other states. William J. Bryan
made his first appearance at a public
gathering since the election, and the
greeting accorded him was u?ver more
hearty and spontaneous in his home city.
His address received the closost atten
tion, and the applause was frequent.
Aside from the remarks of Mr. Bryan,
the event of the evening was the speech
of John W. Kern, defeated Democratic
candidate for governor o Indiana, who
aroused the banqueters to a high pitch of
enthusiasm not only by his laudation of
Mr. Bryan, but by his outspoken criti
cism of those Democrats whom he ac
cused of contributing to his (Bryan's! de
teat. His denunciations of Democrats
who offered "gratuitous counsel to De
mocracy," though lie' mentioned no
names, was accepted by the crowd as a
reference to forme-r President Cleveland.
It was after 10 o'clock when the dinner
was finished and the speaking began.
Mr. Bryan, whose subject was "Princi
ples Live," said in part:
"At this banquet, surrounded by ne-igli-lors
who have been my friends for ten
years, I may be pardoned for saying a
word of a personal nature. Five times
you have voted for uie for public oliiec
twice for congress, once for the United
States senate and twice for the presi
dency ami no candidate evev received j
more loyal support than you have giv-n
me.
"Whether I shall ever be a candidate
fcr otiiee again is a question which must
be determined by event.-. No one can
speak wbh certainty of the future, for
one's destiny is not known until his life's
work is complete. I shall be content if
it is my lot to aid in the triumph of the
principles while others enjoy the honors
and boar the4 responsibility of otiiee.
"The holding of public oliice should be
an iiu ident and not the oMreme aim of
tl'.e citizen. It should not be an eu.l, but
the means for the accomplishment of a
purpose.
"The presidency seemed desirable be
cause it would have enabled me to give
effective aid to certain reforms which 1
believe to be necessary to the public wel
fare, but defeat even a second defeat
does not lessen my interest in this reform,
and time may prove that my work is to
advocate rather than to execute.
"The Coitimoner will give me an op
portunity to participate in public discus
sions, and 1 am scire that an editorial
pursuit wiil furnish as much intellectual
enjoyment as I could have found in the
While House and in addition thereto will
give me more time for home pleasures.
"The principles for which we contend
ed in the last campaign still live, and we
who believe in them must continue to
tight for them. An election does not
change principles. It only determines
what principles shall be for the time be
ing applied.
"If we are successful in diverting pres
ent tendencies and in carrying the gov
ernment to its old foundations, we shall
rejoice in the victory and prof:!: by the
reforms secured. 1 am conlident that wo
shall ultimately win, but if the trend to
ward plutocracy cannot be checked it is
still better that we should bo defeated in
a righteous undertaking than that we
should join hands with those who are ig
noring the inalienable rights of man.''

OMAHA, Dec. 27. It is now known
that Pat Crowe was seen in South Oma
ha scarcely 20 hours before the abduction
of Eddie Curtail?. On" Monday night.
Dec. 17, a well known citizen of South
Omaha conversed with 'him for nearly an
hour. Just before they parted Crowe
was questioned concerning his future
plans and laughingly replied: '"Oh. I havo
something big on. You'll hear front me
soon." At the time this was viewed as
an idle boast. It is stated that until
shortly before the Cudahy abduction
Crowe was engaged in the dairy business
with his brother-in-law at Albright, just
below South Omaha. Mrs. Crowe has
admitted to a reporter that her husban.l
was in South Omaha on the Saturday
preceding the abduction.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS
Thomas Rogers of Eaton, Penn, la
visiting friends in this section.
People in this section are asking
the question, "What about the illumi
nated dial on the clock of the Bank
street school?" They are not at all
pleased with he actiou of the board
of education in receiving aud placing
on file the petition for such a dial ou
the clock. The petition was signed by
democratic and republican aldermen of
this section as well as by the prin
cipal business men and many taxpay
ers of this part of the town. "The peo
ple want this improvement and they
would like to see the members of the
board of education grant it. The
illuminated dial iu the Washington
street school has done aud is doing
good service and one in this section
would do as much. By all means let
us have an illuminated dial.
Notwithstanding that a young
Lithuanian boy was almost drowned
in the Naugatuck river a short while
since by breaking through the ice,
small boys still persist m going upon
the ice on the Nansatuck river to
skat,- before it is half thick enough to
skate upon. Yesterday a number of
these boys foolishly wont on the ice
and before they knew it. one of them
bad broken through the ice. Willi
dillicutty he was resetted. :t little wetter
and somewhat wiser than when he
went iu. It takes a long time and
much (if frosty weather before
the Naugatitck is frozen enough to
warrant skating without risks and the
boys ought to wait until then or en
joy ska ling on some one of the many
.itber ponds in the city where the
waters freeze sooner than on the
Naugatitck river.
