The claim comes from his residence in sum.
mer and fall in Bernardsyille, among the
hills in the northwestern corner of Somerset
county. Mr.. Senoy and tho late A. V. Stout
went there years ago because they liked each
other and the place. Their friendship ended
before Mr.. Stout diod, but Mr.. Seney has
seemed to love the place, and has absorbed
upward of a thousand acres in the valleys
and hillsides milo or two from tho railroad
station. His house Is in the midst of great
treeless field and would make poor showing
beside the Hudson river castles, but vast sums
have been spent on the land, and his herds of
Jerseys and his stables arc sights for miles
around. His daughters have houses near
him, and he helps maintain q summer hotel
not far away for the sake of tho society.
His children drive great drag about the
country, and wake the echoes of tho hills
with coaching horn Of powerful capacity.
A Methodist church is maintained by Mr..
Seney at Bernardsville, and he has given
largely to the Methodist churches near, as
well as to the charities of the denominations
elsewhere Tho ''Seney train" on the Della
ware and Passaic railroad, morning and
evening, is tho common name for the express
which has carried him to and from New York
daily. To the people round about Bernards-
villo he is an object of unfailing interest,
and they all tell great stories of his gen.
erosity to his family and those who have
appealed to his charitable instincts, singing
his praises without stint.

A delegation OF business men called upon
Chairman Ingalls,, of tho senate district com
mittee, yesterday, in relation to tho COM
mercial tax. Mr.. Barbour, for tho merchants,

Barbour's bill imposes a tax Of 800 por year

and is worry comprehensive in its scope, defin-
ing every person who sells by card, catalogue,
or sample, including owners or dealers
who offer for sale at places other than their

chants. It also provides that no

that it shall not be sssignable or transferable.

$500 is affixed for failing to take out license.
This bill tho committee representing the
merchants want inscribed in the police regu-
lation bill in place of the section relating TO
taxing drummors, which the senate subcOm.
mittee has decided to strike out of the house
bill relating to police regulations, the sections
imposing tax on commercial agents. Mr..
Ingalls, told the merchants that tho whole
matter would be thoroughly considered before
any action was taken.
Representative Skinner, of Now York, said
yesterday IN retoranCe 10 the commissioners
letter asking for information about certain
charges he made in his speech on the police
bill some time ago, that he had proof Of the
authenticity Of tho charge. He would not
tell the source of his information, but said
that gentleman had told him that by pay
ing So for q littlecard drummors would DO pro-
tected and avoid tho payment of the 5000 tax.
Mr.. skinner said he was not hostile to Wash
ington merchants but was opposed to re-
stricting other merchants from coming here,
