Bankrupt Elizabeth.
= New Jersey city That is Liable TO
BE sold Out by the sheriff.

: New YORK, May 4.--The city of
Elizabeth, N. j., is in peculiar plight For
several years it has been bankrupt but III that
it has not an unfivaled reputation. It stands
to-day pre-eDinent as a. city with property
value literally assessed, of sI2, SEQ 600, and a
debt of about 500, COO To this pre-emi-
hence may be added the fact that there
seems to be very little chance of the
debt being paid. In a few days it's posi-
ton may change for creditor threatens to
serve mandamus compelling the authorities
to levy a tax to pay his claim and this woulG
raise the city assessment to about IA per cent
In 1873 the Singer Manufacturing compan
loaned the city 100000 and bought about
500 900 worth of bonds. The debt was no.
paid, and III 1880 suit was brought and iudg-
mont obtained The Judgment naturally
enough, not satisfied, and two years
ago mandamus obtained, compelI-
ing the city to raise the amount of the
judgment, some $500, COO by taxation, but the
management of the Singer company did not
serve the mandamus The president of the
Singer company died and was succeeded by
another Mr.. Mckenzie, the present ineuH-
bent, did not approve of the plans submitted
to his predecessors The city wrote to Mr.
Mckenzie few days since asking when he
would serve the mandamus. Mr.. Mckenzie
said in reply that he would give the city until
May 10 TO arrange their affairs If the man
damnS is served then the next tax levied on
Elizabeth will be about II per cent

favor of the Democrats The estimate
is made on the last presidential vote
I'm 1880 the Republicans elected TWEEN
ty congressman out of twenty three
Last year the Democrats elected twenty one
members to thirteen for the Republica. 5. The
new apportianment gives the Republicans one
member in Brooklyn but none in New York
city. The bill whole is pretty fair In
two three country districts, however, there
is discreditable gerrymander. The ratio of
population is about .l49 000 In the Twenty
ninth district the population is 1876 700, and the
Republicans will have about 1900 majority.
The Twenty fourth district has population of
