l1krr ~ Nifu
Most, II not al the gloves have been recovered,
and these are valued at $4,000 in gold. The details
promise to he highly interesting, but Tor obvious
reasons are now Withheld.
AN INToLERABLE NUIsANCE.-The residents in the
vicinity Of the Market street depot loud in their
complaints against the New Jersey Railroad on ac-
count of an Intoerable nuisance, being the permis-
sion OF the company to allow cattle trains loaded
with calves and swine TO remain over night near the
above depot and make night hideous with the grunt-
ing and squeezing 1t Is really high time the city au-
thoriies took decided action looking to the re-
moyal OF this great cause OF complaint.

Alter having eluded the scrutiny OF the government
detectives for fully six months, Samuel Hopper, an
individual having half-a-dozen other aliases, and
against whom has been found by the United States
Grand Jury an indictment for counterfeit passing,
was arrested in New York on Friday by detective
Netleship. On the person OF the accused was found
bogus money to the extent OF $1p2. He was brought
hither and taken before United States Commissioner
John whitehead. who committed him to the Essex
county jail 1t is thought that his capture will lead
To some imDOrtaut discoveries relative 10 sQueeE'
operations
BuRGLARy.-The almost nightly depredatory
movements OF burglars, chicken thieves and such
like miscreants in the outskirts OF this town call
aloud for something to be done in the way OF pre-
yention The most recent instance OF these thev-
ing raids Is that in which the residence OF Mr..
Daniel Osmun, on Harrison street. East orange, was
entered while the family were at tea and about 5000
worth Of jewelry and other articles carried on from
q second story sleeping apartment. Fortunately the
able able gold @ % watch which lay G carelessy IN the room
MUNICIPAL AFFAIRs.-This town is considerably
agitated at the present moment on two important
topcs--the new charter and the approaching elec-
tion Relative to the former there Is quite a little
dissatisfaction. The chief ground OF complaint is
the seeming hasty and somewhat secret manner In
which 1t was hurried before the Legislature. u GER
tainy looks curious that Is the case generally no
special town meeting was called and the document
fully placed before the people. Nor were there any
copies OF IL clrcuateu among ctiZens 30 tnat tuey,
whose vital interests were at stake, might know
what was being done. The taking away OF the
power to declare how. much money shall
be raised annually ani giving the matter
into the hands OF the local government is another
source OF dissatisfaction. The bill passed both houses
IN the Legislature and is authoritatively stated 10
have been signed by the Governor; though Is addl
ionally divuged that the latter eas reconsdered his
action and may require some alteration ere II goes
into effect. Meanwhile the greatest anxiety prevails
among the Orange promulgators OF the document,
inasmuch az the charter election takes place next
Tuesday. The democratic town convention met on
Friday night and renominated Mayor Ferry. Messrs.
Theodore Condt and John Bennett are the nomi.
nees for surveyor OF highways. In Bloomfield and
Montclair the charter elections take place to-mor-
row.
THE NEW CoMMuTATIoS SysTEM.-The pass book
among the commuters OF the New Jersey Central
and Morris and Essex railroads has occasioned no
little dissatisfaction among the New York business
men resident on the lines OF these railroads. IL IL
declared that the old single ticket system operated
quite we'll for the interest OF the railroad people,
and annoyance on the part OF passengers. At this
place petition protesting against the new system
has been numerousv signed and Will soon be pre-
sented to the authorities ofsthe Central Railroad.
