NYACK's STRUGGLE.

The citizens of Nyack have been agitated for some
time village matters. Early tho spring petI-
ton embracing tho names OF large number OF electors
was presented 70 the Board OF Trustees calling Tor
special election the general relating to ncor
pOrated villages to vote upon the proposition Of
abolishing the incorporation. Tho trustees de-
clned to call election, whereupon a mandamrs
was applied for and order granted by
Judge Barnard, Of Poughkecpsie directing tho trus-
tees TO show why election should not be held
The argued at Poughkcepsc, by Mr. Clinton
McAdam for the petitioners and Mr.. c. p Hoffman for
the trustees in due time Judge Barnard ordered
ing the penalties of contempt Tor refusal to
comply with the mandate OF the Courf,

the day arrived an injunction obtained
from Judge Dykman nj White Plans, upon The aiii-
davt Of David J. Blauvclt, who has made the
opposition the Efforts OF largo majority
OF the citizens OF Nyack to obtain upon pro-
posed question. The motion Tor the Injunction
