Pacific will pay a net dividend OF more than NINE AND
HALF per cent, on its entire cost
The average price at which twenty-six leading Land
Grant Roads this date sold their lands is 81 Os per
Sold the same average price the Grant OF the
Northern Pacific Company will produce more than
$4,000 mile ofroad-more than three times the total
possible cost Of construction and equipment.
These facts regarding Pacific Railroad earnings and
the market value of Railroad Lanus as shown by actual

together q large and brilliant assemblage in the
great parlor OF the West End Hotel. Charades were
presented, in which nearly all the young ladies and
young gentlemen staying at the hotel took part.
The great parlor packed to Its utmost capacity,
containing about five hundred persons, while many
more stood outside on the porch, witnessing the
entertainment through the windows. Mr. Presbury,
the proprietor OF the hotel, and Mr.. w. w. DUNCAN
contributed greatly to the success OF the whole.
The dresses were costly and beautiful, and the per-

THE MONTCLAIR MURDER.

Proceedings OF the Star Chamber In
quest-The Crime I'm Cedar Grove.
Despite the absurd efforts Of the Acting Coroner
of Montclair, N. j., and his jury to keep oil the pro-
ceedngs OF the recent murder inquest to them
selves q HERALD reporter has succeeded in procur-
Ing all the essential points Nearly all the witnesses
examined were residents of the vicinity the scene
OF the murder, and not overwhelmed with educa
zion or intelligence. Henry hoffman, the murdered
man. was traced up to July IS in the evening. One
or two witnesses declared they heard pistol shots
nred the same night Kohlman disappeared,
persons who fired the. shots could not
be discovered. David Holman, the milkman,
Tor whom k0hman formerly worked was placed
on the stand and subjected to very severe cross
examination. He as well as others who gave evil
dence the day after the body was found, when the
examination was first commenced, contradicted
former statements In essential particulars. Hon.
man was sure that the man who lett his employ
on July 70 was named Peterson, and not Henry
COrby, as he had previously stated. Others said the
mans name was Peters. There arose grave sus-
PIGEONS relating 10 Norman; hut nothing was
cleared NJ except the fact, beyond q doubt, that
the murderer or murderers were persons well ac.
guainted with the neighborhood. Hoffman has lived
In Caldwel, on General Woodford's estate. for two
years. He knew Kohlman eighteen years and his
friends In New York. On July 10 he visited that
city, and told KOhnan's friends that he was not
which turned suspicion entirely from the man
COrby Peterson, Peters, to another quarter. The
verdict was, 'sThat the said Henry Kohlman, on or
about the 10th day of July last at Cedar Grove, in
the township OF Caldwell and county Aforesaid, was
by some person or persons to the jurors aforesaid
at present unknown, with force ana arms, fclo-
,oniously killed.'N
The jury passed resolution that in view OF the
enormity OF the crime the Governor be requested

discovery and conviction OF the murderer

The Commissioners in Council-Oyster
Wharves and the Maiden Lane Dump
ing Ground.
The Commissioners OF the Department OF Public
Docks met yesterday afternoon. Commissioner
Kane was the only member Of the Board absent.
Commissioner Agnew presided.
Mr. william H. Christie appealed against an in
junction issued by the Board that required him to
vacate the premises he leases in the immediate
vicinity OF piers 81, So and SO East River. The
whole oyster trade OF the city and interior
was concentrated at that point; If 1t was removed
above Fourteenth street it would entail much in
convenience and considerable expense as the prn-
cipal trade is confined to the winter months and
when ice is in the river small vessels cannot stem
the tide without the aid OF tugs. The oyster bust
this city to from twenty-five to thirty millions of
dollars yearly Shell-fsh could not be stored IN
warehouses or cellars, as the temperature differs
many degrees.
Mr.. Henry was OF opinion that a rule which ap-
piled to one should apply to all. There would be a
continued to hold his present lease, as other
smaller dealers had been compelled to remove. The
applicant asked for time until Maynthe end Of the
oyster craft to discharge their cargoes.
The question was finally allowed TO Gle on the
table,
The next subject that came up for discussion was
the petition presented by a number Of property

commissioner Wood was strongly in favor OF the
action of the Board being sustained He argued that
the poor had rights we'll the rich which ought
to be respected and that If the place OF deposit
changed to place higher up town 1t would be an
Inconvenience to the poorer classes OF the COM
munity and the Police Commissioners for the latter

accommodation for the purpose OF exporting Nth
from the city.
Commissioner Henry opposed Mr. Wood, and
after verbal strife the matter put to the VOTE
The motion to rescnd the order OF appointment
was carried by three to one.
A few other less important subjects next came
upon the tapis for discussion, after which the
