THE o1rH,s -FOUR LAWYERS.
Were Messrs. Br1nkerhoff and Paxton
Legally Ousted 9-What Will be Dones

Were Messrs. Br1nkerhOm and Paxton
Legally Ousted? -What Will be Donee
The removal of Corporation Counsel
Brinkerhoff and of Corporation Attorney
Paxton by the Board of Finance, and the
appointment of Messrs. John A. Blair and
r. B. Seymour to their positions respec-
lively, occasioned a vast deal of talk in
Jersey City yesterday. The removal of two
Democrats in order that their places may
be given to two Republicans, gives color to
the assumption that the movement was a
political one. Messrs. Brinkerhoff and
Paxton were under contract with the city
for two years service, and the contract for
that term of service was the consideration
the city gave them for working for smaller
compensation than the city charter allows.
By the charter, the salsry of the Corpora
ton Counsel is $1,000 peryear. In 1882 an
act was passed permitting the Board of
Finance to appoint Corporation Counsel
and Attorney for two years at sum less
than that named in the charter. In 1884 a
more general act bearing on the same sub
iect was passed. 1t permitted the proper
authorities of city to make contract
with any city officer to perform the duties
of his Office at salary less than
than that fixed by any law affecting such
city, and provides that when such con-
tract is entered into such officer shall not
be entitled to receive or recover any COM
pensation other than that fixed by such
contract, and that such contract shall be
binding on both parties. Under authority
of these acts, the Board of Finance made
/ contracts with Messrs, BrinkerhoH and
Paxton to serve for two years-the former
at q. 900 per year and the latter at $500
Der year. The action of the Board of Fl
nance in removing them was based on the
assumption that the Acts are open to con-
| stitutional objections; or that II the con-
| tracts are effective, it is only as to the
! salary and not as to the time. On the
other hand, the time Of the service may be
held to have been part of the contract as
| to the salary. Senator BrinkerhoH said
| Yesterday that he would not clog the
wheels of local government by taking out a
writ of quo ,sdYTanto against the new in
| cumbents. He holds the public interests as
above all Others He will act upon all
matters that are sent to him; by the
Boards that choose to recognize him, and
will sue for his salary when it becomes
due. Further than that he proposes tx
make no contest John A. Blair, who
succeeds him, was once District Cour
Judge and is nephew of John l. Blair
| the millionaire railroad king.

THE NEW LOCAL OFFICERS.
THE CONTEST FOR THE PLACES IN
THE FREEHOLDERS GIFT.

Collector Farrler's Canvass Crippled by
the action of the Board of Finance.
The CIcrlxship and superintendent.
The contest for places within the gift of
the Board of Chosen Freeholders will be
brought to a close this week. The Board
will meet to organize on Tuesday. 1t
seems to be conceded that County Collec-
tor Farrier's chance of retaining his posi-
ton is not as good as it was last week.
His friends had tried to make deal
for the retention of City Comptrol-
Ter Kelly by the Board of Finance
in exchange for Democratic votes for
Mr.. Farrier in the Freeholders; but Mr..
Kelly would not listen to any such
proposition, and this removal supplement-
ed by the removals of Corporation Counsel
Brinkerhoff and Corporation Attorney
Paxton, has tended to crystalize Democrat
ic sentiment in the matter of the Collector
ship, and there is little room for doubt
that Hugh Dugan will succeed him.
The clerkship contest is an open fight
all around, with the chances in favor of
Joseph M. Noonan. s"Joe" is man of
excellent parts, and has made friends rap
luly b1uC6 A6 6uU6ISQ tu0 l1Hb6 Luz Uu0 HO5l-
ton. He is assured, those who are best
informed say, of nine votes = enough, if he
has them, to nominate him. His name
sake, Thomas F. Noonan, has somewhat
recovered from the effect of the unfortu-
nate complications in the County Board of
Canvassers, and is pushing his candidacy
with fresh vigor. He is emphatic in his
denial of any intentional design to
count out Mr.. Frecht for Phillipetti,
and presents figures to show that
the success of such movement
could not have profted him. 1t had been
said that his purpose in his alleged attempt
to count Philhpetti in, was to secure Phil
hpetti's vote.in the Board. &C w hat good
could that have done me?" he asked-of
reporter of the TATTLER day or two ago.
g Without Phillipetti there are IL Free
holders. A candidate needs Line votes to
achieve a nomination. Mr.. Phillipettis
election would have increased the number
of Freeholders to IS, and made 10 ma
jority in the caucus. Surprising that
had received Mr.. Phillipetti's vote,
should yet have had nine other votes
to get to secure the nomination
as many as I would have to get without
him in the Board That makes it clear
that could have had no motive to count
Phillipetti in, and I'm scarcely fool enough
to lend myself to questionable transac-
ton that could do me no good" George
L. Bouton, the clerk of the Board of
Works, is making an excellent canvass
also. He has strong backing and is warmly
in earnest He claims to be able to show
up as many votes in the caucus as any of
hif competitors.
Hoboken is putting in strong claim for
the County SUPPLEMENTARY Edward
Kelly, the present incumbent, is working
hard to secure reelection. John Mighan
will be urged by the Hoboken freeholders.
Hoboken urges her right to recognition
with good deal of force. She is always
true to her colors, and has had SO little at
the hands of the County democracy that
her demands for recognition in this in
stance should not be ignored.

Eight Thousand strikers.

ST., LOUIS, May S.-The striking coal
miners who started out from Macoupin
County, H., and have since held series
of meetings in Madison and st. Clair coun.
ties, with view to inducing the miners in
those counties to join them, returned to
Collinsville yesterday and held laage and
perhaps final meeting. They claim that a
large proportion of the miners in what Isl
known as the BellevilIe district have joined
them. At all events nearly all the mines
in that district are closed, and but very
small amount of coal is being dug at pres
emit. The strike is for an advance in
wages. Some of the mine owners are un-
derstood to be in favor of the advance, but
the men refuse to resume work until all
the operators accede to their terms. 1t is
estimated that from seven to eight thou
sand coal miners are now either idle or on
a strike in the State of Illinois.

PIrrsBURa's TRUNK MYSTERY.
A Verdict of stranguIatton-No Clue tc
the Identity.

tAAO AOCAAeASys
PrrTsBURe, May 2.-This city is all agog
to-day over yesterdays sensation of the
finding of a dead body in trunk at the
Union station. making smoky Pittsburg a
rival of st. Louis in an unpleasant direc-
ton. At the Coroner's inquest, DIS Ham
ilton and Shaw, who had made a post
mortem examination, testified that there
were no external marks of violence on the
deceased. ALI of his organs were healthy
except the lungs, which were badly con-
gested. This could result from suffoca-
ton or strangulation. In accordance with
this testimony, a verdict was rendered
"that theIdeceased came to his death from
strangulatlon at the hands of persons to the
jury unknown" There appears to be no
doubt that he was an Italian.
LArER.-This afternoon Mrs. Bonistalli,
the wife of Smithfield street Italian con-
fectioner, visited the undertaking rooms
and identified the remains as those of her
brother, Pietro Caruse, former peanut
vender Of this city, who went to Chicago
several years ago.
CHICAGO, May 1.-The employees of the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail
way baggage room at the Union Depot
here, can furnish no clue that promises to
lead to the Identification of the person or
persons who shipped the trunk as baggage
containing the body found at Pittsburg
yesterday. They say they check SO many
trunks every day that it would be simply
impossible for them to remember anything
concerning them or the persons to whom
they belong unless something unusual
should happen at the time to attract their
o4kaut1ou

Grants Condttlon.

New YORK, May S.-Last night was the
worst night with General Grant in two
weeks. 1t was quiet night, bnt he slept
only at short intervals until six o'clock this
morning, at which hour he fell into sleep
that continued until eight a. m. He then
awakened, but again dozed until between
nine and ten o'clock. About 10 o'clock
last night the General settled down, as was
supposed, for the night He believed DIR.
Douglas had left the house. This was not
true, and when, about IL o'clock, the
patient heard the doctors voice in the hall,
he summoned him to the sick room. The
patient seemed nervous and apprehensive.
and he requested the doctor to not quit the
house until morning. Therefore DIR.
Douglas remained at the house until $50
a. m. When the doctor left the house, he
said the Generals restless night might have
been owing to cerebral exaltation resulting
from work on his book. The weather too,
may have contributed to his restlessness.
The throat and general physical conditions
were not such as to cause uneasiness.

port that England has proposed to submit
to arbitration by any European sovereign
the question of who violated the agree

The offices of Mesars. Sites & Harrison
in the Fuller Building, presented lively
appearance all of last week. There it is
where the testimony in the appeal of the
New Jersey Central from the tax of 1884,
as assessed by the State Board Of Assessors
is being taken. This testimony is being
given before Supreme Court Commissioner,
George w. Cassedy--Judge Hoffman rep
resenting the Attorney General on behalf
of the State, and Ex-Chancellor William
son and Mr.. Robert w. DeForrest, repre-
senting the railroad. Mr.. E. w. Harrison
has been witness all the week, and he
will probably be on the stand for two OF
three weeks more. Mr.. Harrison is cover
ing the ground slowly, to be sure, but
thoroughly. As Judge Hoffeman says this
is litigation, which settled either way, is
settled forever. provided it is gone into
thoroughly. Mr.. Harrison has covered in
his testimony: First, The main stem of
the main line from Newark Bay to the
Hudson River; Second, Lands other than
main stem of main line in Hudson county;
Third, Main stem of the Newark and
New York. Railroad; Fourth, Lands
other than main stem of the Newark
and New York Railroad, and fifth
terminal lands. This last subject
has just been touched upon, and is the
most important factor in the litigation
The TATTLER last Sunday informed its read
ers of the basis upon which Messrs Harrison
and Sites estimated their values of the diff
ferent subdivisions of the main stem. In
his testimony on Friday afternoon Mr..
Harrison made some statements with ref
erence to the value of the Central's termi-
nal property, which may not only be inter-
esting, but which contains suggestions
that occur to but very few people, if any,
He said that owing both to its location and
shape the Central has the most valuable
terminal property of any railroad terminal
ing in Hudson County. As to location he
said the Central had the advantage of all
the others in that it had no other iue of
ferries crossing it, and further in the fact
that great expense was saved the Central
to which the other roads are put by reason
of their having no streets crossing its
tracks, and consequently obviating the ne
cessity of employing gatemen and others
at street CROSSINGS The advantage of the
Centrals terminal yard over the other
roads is that it is much longer and allows
the reception of very much longer trains
an advantage which the PENNSYLVANIA
would pay a great deal to possess. Mr..
Harrison will continue to testify as to these
terminal lands
