A QUEER TRANSACTION.

Among the matters to be investigated by the pres
ent Grand Jury of Hudson county, N. j., are the
transactions of some Of the members of the Hobo.
ken Common Council. short time after the Drain
aye Commission had been cnjoned, at the instance of
tho property owners, from draining tho meadow
lands, the commission wound up their affairs
and transferred to the Common Council their
engine and boiler, which had been put up on
the vacant lot at the intersection OF Meadow and
Ferry streets The engine had not been paid tor and
the Council neglccting to take charge OF the appa
ratus some parties drove to the place day and
placing boiler and engine truck, carried them
away. The Council was afterward sued by W. U.
Chase n Co.. of this city. from whom the
machinery was purchased, and a Judgment
was obtained against the city for S1,7O0. Now
IL Is alleged that the stolen machinery was taken
away by the direction of an Alderman. and ono OF
the parties who assisted in its removal was, IL Is
said, police officer. The officer says that he
understood the boiler and engine had been pur-
chased by the parties who removed them. Mr.. John
Reid, who was one of the Drainage commissioners,
