THE RAILROAD SUITS.
The PENDING Certioraris-The Basis Of
Valuations.

In the fight the railroads have begun
against the assessments of the State Board
of Assessors either they or the State have
struck mares nest. Probably the biggest
fight is that which the New Jersey Central
has on hand. What is known as the 1882"
case has been on hand for almost two
years, and is not yet finished. This is q
fight against the assessment of 1882 all
long the line. But the matters of latest
interest are the protests against the valu-
atoms fixed under the recent railroad tax
law. The State has employed counsel in
every county in the State to go thoroughly
over the method of arriving at the valu-
atoms. On Monday last the first meeting
was had between ex-Chancellor William
son and MIR. De Forrest, counsel for the
Central, and ex-Judge VIM. T. Hoffman,
counsel for the State, who has been ap-
pointed by the Attorney General to assume
charge of all the cases in Hudson county.
This was only preliminary, however. The
first testimony was taken on Thursday and
continued on Friday. The witness was
Edlow w, Harrison, of the firm of Sites q
Harrison, experts appointed to estimate
the valuations Mr.. Harrison's testimony
was confined to the main stem of the road
through Bayonne. He described his testi-
mony as he gave it on map prepared by
the firm, which shows the strip of railroad
from Bayonne to the Hudson river, di-
vided into lit separate subdivisions for the
purpose of estimating, as accurately as any
body could, a fair valuation of the property
of the railroad. Mr.. Harrison testified
that they had based values on those of
lots adjoining the different subdivisions of
the railroad, and according to his test.
mony the estimates have been particularly
fair to the railroad. He cited numerous
conveyances from the Central New Jersey
Land and improvement Company to va
rious parties, which they had used in estab-
fishing values, and in every instance rail
road values were gagged by the lowest
average price at which these properties
were conveyed, which was during a great
depression in real estate through that sec
ton, and when the road was in trouble
The Central New Jersey Land and I'm
provement Company was creature of the
Central Railroad. The testimony was
monotonous and imposed quite task
upon the witness. Mr. Harrison has testi-
fed as to 38 of the III subdivisions of the
main stem. After this the value of every
thing appertaining to a railroad will be
thoroughly gone into, and, from present
appearances, several months will be con-
suned in the examination. The examina-
ton will be resumed tomorrow morning.

Get Ont Your oxe1ooaf.

New York, April 25.-The cold wave is
moving eastward very slowly" said
Signal Office attendant to-day, ssbut will
undoubtedly reach here by tomorrow
morning, when we predict the thermometer
will be at least twenty degrees lower. The
wave which is to make this change origina-
ted in Colorado, and lowered there until
yesterday, when it began to shift to the
eastward. It now has its centre over the
Ohio valley and about the lower lake re-
gion. 1t is raining in the southwest and
Missouri valley, and they have experienced
severe rainfall along the Texas coast.
Yesterday 28-100 inches of rain fell at
Galveston, and2 5-100 inchesa at IndianoIa."

General Grant san Improv,pg,

New York, April IS. General Grant fell
asleep about o'clock this morning. He
received five minims of morphine and he
slept at intervals. The sore at the base of
the tongue appeared angry last night, and
restlessness may have been the result. That
the patient will survive the summer is the
belief of those in position to judge of the
probabilities. He will, 1t is thought, pass
thesummer without relapse, but the recur-
renee of cold weather will, perhaps, effect
a change that is not desirable to anticipate
Grant will go the mountains on July 1.

THOSE who read Mr.. Cleveland's
letter to Mr.. Warner on the silver
question shortly after his election VIII
not, of course, be surprised that in
the message delivered in Congress
Yesterday he "returns TO his muttons'
and recommends the suspension OF
the coinage OF the standard dollar;
or. in other words, favors the repeal
of the Bland Act. As Mr.. Cleveland
is A New Yorker OF the New Workers
il would not be fair to expect IRON
him sentiments different from those
held by the capitalists OF his State.
His pronunciamiento against silver
will probably result in sending the
price Of that metal down in the Lon
don markets, Just as contrary out
giving would have sent it up, IL Is
tolerably certain, however, that the
House of Representatives. Will iaii 10
respond to the Presidents suggestion.
Mr.. Bland and his followers have
carefully studied the question, are
held we'll in hand and will stick by
silver to the end No modification
will be made TO the existing law I'M
less the interests of the silver miner
are carefully protected. The great

quickly showed that he had been
vastly underestimated by his father.
Under his hands the already colossal
fortune was rapidly swollen TO un-
heard Of proportions, the current
estimates of his wealth, as made by
intelligent and we'll informed people,
not stopping short OF 5000, 100000.
In a single operation he disposed OF
large block OF his personal holding
in the New York Central Railway to
London syndicate for $4,000, 900.
A short time afterward he was found

ment OF his financial ca.eer,
in Lake Shore and other stocks which
were under his manipulation, and by
which he more than repaired any
shrinkage in his bank account. Grave
consequences may follow his death
in the New York stock market. The
sudden taking away Of an operator OF
such magnitude may even cause
panic. It is pretty sure to be short
lived, however, as the general condi-
ton of the country has greatly i'm
proved within the past twelvemonth.
Even the possession OF two hundred
millions OF dollars could not release
Vanderbilt from paying the debt Of
nature. He, too, has found death,
like taxes, inexorable.

We understand that representations
have been made to President Cleveland
that there is danger OF an uprising on
the part OF the Mormons; that the
property and lives of non Mormons are
insecure, and that military protection ia
required. The City Council is making
an official investigation and has invited
the Federal and military officials and all
others having information bearing on
the matter 10 appear and testify.
The investigation, AS far AZ it has
proceeded, was enough to demonstrate
the utter falsity Of these rumors and
hat no foundation exists for them in
fact. A battery of artillery arrived from
Omaha to day and a company OF troops
is quarlered in the city ostensibly to
protect the citizens and property. Rep
resent the matter fully to President
Cleveland, stating thar no excitement
exists and that these measures are un-
called for and entirely unnecessary.
Property and personal safety OF all
citizens are perfectly secure.

The news OF the death OF William
II. Vanderbilt yesterday will be a
surprise to most people. There had
been nothing in the kilograms TO in
dicate that his health was in the
slightest degree impaired. In view OF
the great longevity OF his father, who
at eighty years of age took to himself
a young and blooming bride, the
younger plutocrat has scarcely ap-
proved himself to be a chip OF the
old block. When the old Commo-
dore died he was reported to he worth
about seventy-fye millions OF dollars.
The rate at which wealth in skillful
hands has aggregated since the war
was shown 10y the fact that the older
Vanderbilt was only reputed to be
worth three million dollars at the be-
ginning OF the war, thus showing an
increase OF twenty-five hundred per
cent in fifteen years. William II.
Vanderbilt was regarded by his father
ior many years as being little other
than BOBBY, His iayorite express
ion for his eldest son was "chuckle-
head, and for years he kept William
ON modest farm at Staten
Island His opinion changed very
markedly towards the last, and
he ended by practically disinheriting
his other children and leaving the
bulk OF his millions to William. A
great scandal was created at the time
Of his death. The son Cornelius and
one OF the daughters entered suit to
break the will and at length com
promise was effected by which each
