THE POLICE INTERFERED
AND THERE WAS NO BOXING AT THE BEDFORD WHEELMEN'S STAG
The annual stag of the Bedford Wheelmen was held last evening in

members and friends of the club at an early hour.  The entertainment 
consisted of songs, banjo solos, and club swinging.  The programme included a 
number of boxing bouts by local "scrappers", and it was expected that there 
would be some lively fighting.  This part of the programme had to be cut out, 
however as Sergeant ZIMMERMAN and several policemen put in an apperance early 
in the evening, and gave orders that boxing of any kind would not be allowed. 
 Accordingly, no attempt was made to put the boxers on.
The officers of the club are: Walter BROWER, president; James NOLAN, 
vice-president; C.L. KNIGHT, secretary; J.J. RALPH, treasurer; William P. 
SEWARD, captain; J.J. STRASSEL, first-lieutenant; O.J. GEIVEH, second 
lieutenant; A.L. BAKER, color guard, and F. FROLKE, bugler.

IDENTIFIED.
The Suppose Firebug Visited at Raymond Street Jail
Up to Sunday Thomas ARDEZZONI says his brother was perfectly sane-the police 
theory of The Latter's Guilt somewhat shaken.
The lunatic and supposed firebug, Joseph ARDEZZONI, whose capture by 
Policeman GULLEN was told in yesterday Standard Union has been identified by 
his brother. Thomas ARDEZZONI who called to see Capt. CAMPBELL yesterday 
aternoon. He gave the Captain a history of his family that is interesting. 
His father and mother many years ago lived in a house they owned on Adams 
Street which stood on the site now occupied by the Columbia Theatre.  His 
father was a manufacturing jeweler in New York and used to take trips to 
South America occasionally.  On one of these trips the vessel was lost having 
foundered at sea, and it is supposed all on board were lost.  An elder sister 
who was left at home with the two boys then very young, got married a few 
years afterward and the two boys were left to shift for themselves.
Joseph his brother, who is now insane got employment with a milk dealer at 
367 Atlantic avenue and seemed up to the time of his arrest to be perfectly 
sane.  Thomas declares that he saw his brother on Sunday and that he appeared 
to be perfectly rational.  Thomas got a letter from Capt. CAMPBELL asking 
Sheriff BUTTLING to grant him an interview.
He called at the jail yesterday and tried to get Joseph to talk but his mind 
seemed a complete blank.  The warden put some questions to him also and his 
replies were very similar to those he gave the police about converting people 
and bringing them to God through fear of fire.
The fact that several apparently incendairy fires have occurred since 
ARDEZZONI'S arrest is shaking the belief of the police that they have the 
firebug yet. Reading the papers may have preyed upon his weak mind and given 
him impressions which come out in his incoherent way.

Case Closed.
For the Contestant in the Seventh Assembly District.
The hearing in the contested case of KNEELAND v. HUGHES in the Seventh
Assembly District was resumed in the Common Council chamber at the City Hall
before Assemblyman KECK this morning.
The first witness called was Andrew LEWIS, 29 years old, colored, of 194
Myrtle avenue in the Eleventh ward.  He said he could not read and write
that he was assisted and that he put two ballots in the box.
Isaac C. CARR, colored of 609 Dean street, was the next witness.
There was objection made to CARR answering the question if he did not give a
man named Joshua P. LEE a slip of paper, on which was written by Daniel O
CONNELL, as alleged "584 Bergen street, Fred F. SMITH, age 42, Fifth
district."  The objection was overruled, and the witness denied giving LEE
any paper.  He testified that Mr. LEE met him repeatedly and asked him to
meet him and come down town and answer questions that would be asked him,
saying it would be worth money to him, and finally LEE said it would be
worth a hundred dollars to him.  Joshua P. LEE was called, and said that the
witness's statement in regards to offering him money was wholly false.  His
evidence closed the case for the contestant.
The defense then opened their case.
