Theatre As as Mr. Perdicaris heard OF the mar

circulated that family troubles existed. An intimate
friend of Mr. PcTdicars said yesterday that this was
NOT the case. MIR. PeTdcariS," be saId. las any

NEWARK MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.

MAYOR FIEDLERS FIRST MEsSAGE-DIllNQUENI
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. POLICE FORCE
Mayor Fielder of Newark, in his message to the
Common Council of 1880. estimates the net bonded
debt of the city to be about SG,3j9,5 5ss %. The
Mayor dwells upon the delinquent personal taxes
two-thrds of which remain unpaid and says: " In
many instances tins default Of payment arises from
temporary inability, but in some fear from
deliberate design on the part of individuals to de-
fraud the municipality and shift their own share
of the public burdens upon the shoulders OF others
who are more honest OF less adrOit. There are
those who have openly boasted that they have paid
no taxes for years. | leave it TO your wisdom to
find some mode of checking this Owl
which seems to be growing year by
year, either by having the tax abolished or
devIsing some efficient means for its collection"
The Mayor calls attention To the loose manner IN
which personal indie btedness is sworn of and sIg-
gests slight exemption in favor of the poorer
classes for articles OF domestic use.
Referring 10 the Police Department, Mayor
Fielder shows how insufficient the force is for the
needs of the city, and recommends large increase
In his remarks upon excise matters the Mayor indi-
rectly condemns the action OF the temperance re-
formers and crticises the Board Of Excise for their
Inconsistent acts. 1t was upon tins issue that
Mayor Fielder was elected. Ia the matter OF pub
nc education he recommends the dlsuse OF the
study Of Latin in the High School and the substltu
tion of German or some other modern language OF
practical use.

brief hearing in the Lewis viii contest was held
Yesterday at jersey City, to show that when Dir.
Lewis signed the codicil to ls will he was not of

ecuted his will on October J. 1873, he bequeatned
house and lot. mortgage, and some household fur
niture to Mrs. Joshua Benson and her children, of
Hoboken. BY the codicil. which was dated juno .,
1875, Mr.. Lewis revoked this bequest Several
months before the codicl written and signed
Mr. Lewis was very i'll. and the husband Of Mrs
Benson claims that his mind affected by disease
at the time he signed it. Mr.. Benson was sworn and
testified that he knew Mr.. Lewis Intimately, and
that after his illness he used to sit at his
basement window in the most absurd dress. This
freak excited the attention of the school children
The witness claimed tat after the contest over the
will began Counsellor Russell, who represents the
alleged widow and two nephews of Mr. Lewis, called
upou hIm and offered him S}3, 600 III case the Will
should be broken by his testimony " lie also tod
