THE POLICE AT WAYERLY.

We were surprised yesterday to find
no Newark policemen stationed at the
State Fair grounds, as has heretofore
been the case. We do not know exact
ly why the Newarkers have been left
out in the cold, unless the Directors of
the fair think that Johnny" Keron
and Captain Flanagan, with squad of
true and tried men will be able to sue
cessfully cope with all disorderly char
acters. Our Chief knows thief as soon
as he fastens his black eyes on him, and
Captain Flanagan is not a whit be-
hind. Perhaps the fair people couldn't
afford to keep the Newark beef-eaters
in lunchen and lager; perhaps the
Newarkers paid more attention to sight
seeing than to duty; perhaps they abused
the patrons of the fair, and perhaps
they are lily fitted for the positions
they occupy.
At all events, none Of the Newark po-
licemen are on duty at the fair grounds,
and our people need have no hesitation
in visiting the grounds, even if they
fail to leave their iewelry and pocket
books at home. Our well-disciplined
force will prove equal to any emergency,
and we doubt not there will be less
number of pockets picked this year than
usual. Our policemen are polite and
anxious to oblige. Admirable order
will be maintained at the grounds, and
for this we hope the fair directors will
suitably reward our blue coats who this
week will be required to do double
duty.

DECLINED rHE HONOR.

In the new formation of the standing
committees of the city council, Mr..
John Egan was attached to the commit
tee on railroads, but that gentleman, We
are sorry to say, saw fit to decline. Mr..
Egan might have been of considerable
use to the people, had he consented to
serve on the committee, and last years
experience proves this. But whoever
takes his place will have the same OPP
portunities for doing good, and what is
really accomplished in the interest Of
the people, we shall be very glad to
mention in an honorable manner.

TROUBLE ON THE RAILROAD.

On Monday noon, Theodore F. Mil.
Ter, formerly city clerk Of Railway, en-
tered train on the Pennsylvania rail
road at Linden, intending to go to
Railway. He had no time to purchase
ticket, and when the conductor, one
Robert Elkins, came through the cars
for tickets, the latter was preferred ten
cents. This was declined, and he then
offered to go into another car and get
the additional five cents from friend.
He did so, and when the conductor ap-
preached him, he upbraided the passen-
ger, and refused to take the money at
all. Then Elkins, as our informant
says, stopped the train, and put Mil
Ter of-the passengers in the meanwhile
protesting. On arriving in Railway,
Miller went before Justice Prentiss and
caused warrant to be issued for the ar
rest OF the conductor. Tho document
was served on charge of assault and
battery. Yesterday morning, at half
past eight O'Clock, as Elkins was passing
through Railway with his train, Officer
Frazee served the summons, and the &C.
cused was taken before Justice Prentiss,
and gave bail in the sum of one hun
dred dollars. John r. Mcrss, of Rah-
way, an employe of the company, gave
security.

The race was well contested. Skeptic

and we would advise lovers of the sport
to be on hand early, as there will be no
delay on any account.
The programme for Wednesday,
Thursday and Fridays races will be
fonnd in our advertising columns.
Up to two o'clock but few visitors
had appeared upon the grounds, but
after that hour carriages began to enter
the gates, and by the time the races
commenced there was quite large
number, for the first days attendance,
assembled on the grounds. The officers
are very enthusiastic and have sanguine
expectations of large crowds and most
successful exhibition. On Thursday
President Grant and Gov. Parker are
expected to be present.

The Grand Jury of the Comfy of Union
respectfully present to the court that upon
information and from observation they are
convinced that the city of Elizabeth has
outgrown the usefulness of the present
system of qolice courts and courts for the
trial OF small causes. They are satisfied
that large per centage of the complaints
presented by the grand juries are fostered
by police justices and justices of the peace
for gain that many quarrels and INSIDE
meanors have their origin in civil suits in
stlgated by the justices of the peace, and
furthermore that these courts as now con-
Quoted in the city of Elizabeth are unac-
ceptible to the law abiding citizens there
of. They farther present that they have
deliberated as to the means of removing
the objections made to the present system,
and can recommend none but total
change. The Grand Jury therefore re-
specially recommend that the offices of
justices of the peace and police justices in
the city of Elizabeth should be abolished,
and that one person only, of competent in
telligence and integrity should be clothed
with the powers now possessed by those
officers, and that he should receive
adequate compensation, by fees or other
wise, therefore. The Grand Jury most re-
specially ask the Court to cause bill to
be prepared by some competent person
under the supervision of the Court de-
signed to carry out the recon-
mendations herein, and that the bill may
be placed in the hands of the Senator for
this county with view to its becoming a
law at the next session of the Legislature
of this State. And, furthermore, that the
member of the Assembly for the city 81
Elizabeth in the next Legislature be re-
quested to use his powers to securing the
relief sought by this recommendation.
All of which is most respectfully sub
mitted.
