FINDING OUT THE VALUE.

Hearing Testimony in the Matter of Con-
demning the Currie Estate.
There was a new and odd kind Of meet
ing in the kindergarten rooms in the
Third National Bank building this morn,
ing. 1t was hearing of property owners
about the prices to be paid for property
condemned by the railroad, which it is
proposed to build on the west side of Ber-
gen Hill, running from the Morris and
Essex tracks to the Central Railroad at
Bergen Point.
There were five witnesses--G. Washing
ton Flaaeke, Frank Enmons, Cornelius
+. Cronan James W. Murphy and
Assessor Stilson of Bayonne, and they
testified that land in the neighborhood of
the Currie estate which is the property in
question, is worth from Sl25 to $200a lot.
No one of them has sold any property
anywhere near by, either at that price or
at any other, butsthey consider that fair
price for the property needed lies between
these figures.
The estate wants 81, 500 an acre for the
property, and the railroad company
claims that to ask any such price is alto
fified to would make the
land worth somewhere between
81, $50 and 81, ,220 an acre, and the railroad
denies that the land Is worth any such
amount of money, claiming that about
two-thirds of the lower amount might be
nearly right.

Dusenbury, and the lawyers were, for
the railroad, James Vredenburg, and for
the Currie estate, Charles g. Black,

VACATION FOR RAILWAY MEN.
A British Railways LiberaIity The
Queen and Divorced Women.

A British Railways LiberaIity - The
Queen and Divorced Women.
LONDON, June 26, 1SS9.-In unstinted
popular approval the directors of the
London and Northwestern Railway are
reaping rich harvest for just decreeing
weeks holiday and a weeks wages to
all their employees. The employees
themselves are profuse in public express
siens of their appreciation of this. un-
wonted generosity, and other corporations
will undoubtedly follow the example set
them.
The Queen has so far relaxed the string
ent rule against permitting divorced wo-
men to enter her presence that such as
are themselves blameless, who have OBJ
tanned divorces from their husbands, are
no longer to be excluded from her court.
This Indulgence caused such a rush of
ladies in this position at the last drawing
room that quite a number to whom this
order gave the entire could not get the
necessary permit, as the Queen insists
upon personally investigating each case
and reading the testimony in the divorce
court to make certain that no improper
person secures access to her presence.
While there seems to be some founda-
tion for the statement that the relations
France and Germany are unusually
friendly, there is certainly much
truth In the complaints of the Ger
man press that Germans in Paris
are treated very badly and the pre-
vailing hatred of Germany and everything
German is made painfully manifest to
them. The French press is largely re-
sponsible for the "Deutschenhetze," and
the Boulangist papers are foremost in the
crusade The landlord of very popular
cafe in Paris the other day imprudently
advertised his Bavarian beer. \ The result
was boycott by his French customers;
he was accused of being a traitor, was
bitterly attacked by the papers and finally
was compelled to announce in the news
papers, very humbly, that he had been
| led to see the error of his ways, and that
hereafter nothing even remotely suggest
ing Germany would be found on sale at
his establishment

the principles of the Fenians. AS for
boycotting it was necessary evil.

CLOTHING THIEVES CAUGHT.
They Had Robbed the Boston and Othe
Stores.

They Had Robbed the Boston and Other
Stores.
Frederick Williams, who said that he
said his home was at No. 224 York street,
were committed for trial this morning by
Justice Stilsing upon charge of larceny.
About six o'clock last evening the two
men went to the Boston One Price Cloth
ing Store, on Newark avenue, and pur-
chased pair of stockings. They then
asked permission to retire to the dressing
room, which was granted. They exam
ined them a few minutes and then left
the store. After they had been gone q
short time 1t was discovered that three
coats belonging to the employees of the
store were missing
Two of the employees later in the even
ing met the two men oil Wayne street and
notified the police.
Detective Mcbride and Policeman
Mohrenstein arrested the men and
brought them to the Gregory
Street Station House. Williams carried
a hand sachel in which were two new
coats bearing George w. Clerihew's
stamp. Williams also had @ pawn ticket
which called for three coats which had
been stolen from the Boston.
They made great row while being
searched and struck and insulted the po-
licemen. It is supposed that the
men number three card monte
among their accomplishments. as they
had cards used in that little pastime upon
them. The pawn tickets found on Will
Jams was taken to Nelson's pawn shop
on Grove street and the coats stolen from
the Boston clothing store were recovered.
One of the clerks in the Boston identi-
fled Lewis as the man who came into the
store on April 49, and spent over an hour
there trying on trousers. He finally Sc
lected pair upon which he paid fifty
cents deposit and which he left to be
pressed.
He never returned for the trousers, and
after he had left the store four new vests
were missed no traces of which have ever
been found
The police are of the opinion that the
two men are professional thieves from

MR.. MANERNY'S ADDRESS.
Before addressing the graduates Mr..
John McAnerny paid beautiful tribute
to the work of the Jesuit Fathers. There
was time, he said, when designing men
country that Roman Catholics were its
enemies. The press and other institu-
tions that spread information among the
masses had dispelled that illusion.
AS to the charge of suppressing knowl-
edge, 1t was as natural for the Catholic
Church to impart it as for the waters to
run down the sides of the mountains into

more to the work of education than the
members of the Society of Jesus. They
were the outposts in the great army of
Christiandom. With their three vows of
obedience, chastity and poverty, they
had taught the world the beauties of hui
mility, meekness and self-denial, and
baffied the red-handed theories of Social
ism. fa
Jersey City, he continued, is to be con.
graduated for such an acquisition as st.
Peters College. The Catholics of Brook
lyn, Hoboken and Jersey City and vicini-
ties should send their children there to be
educated. He referred to the careful
training on the part of the faculty in
preparing its first class of graduates,
and warned the latter in starting out
in life to be guided by the chart
with which they had been provided by
the Holy Fathers, who now bid
them such an affectionate farewell.
There were dangerous breakers ahead.
More budding genius had been killed by
the sun of prosperity than by the frosts of
adversity.

Secretary Hart Explains Why the Com
mittee Is Meeting at Roche's Hall.
Secretary John Hart, of the Liquor
Dealers Association, was asked what
he thought of the action of the Board of
Aldermen last night in granting $50
licenses without the recommendation of
the Liquor Dealers Association,
Gas I have suspected all along" said
he, 'sthere is no agreement existing be-
tween the Liquor Dealers Association
and the Excise Committee of the Board
of Aldermen. This talk of deal is purely
newspaper invention. The Excise Com
mittee will not issue or refuse to issue q
license on the suggestion of the Liquor
Dealers Association.
aOur committee meets at Roche's Hall
merely for the purpose of receiving new
members; to take steps toward seeing
that all liquor dealers shall pay a license,
no matter whether it be sold in a saloon
or a grocery store; and theLiquor Dealers
Association will do its best to prevent the
issuing of a license to any disreputable
salooniStS"

TAXING BANK PROPERTY.
Corporation Counsel Edwards Gives an
Opinion About 1t.

corporation CounseI EdWards Gives an
Opinion About 1t.
The Tax Commissioners met this morn
ing in the Council Chamber in the City
Hall and appointed five assistant clerks at
a salary not to exceed 800 per month. The
lucky individuals are Seneca Barker,
Roderick Eagan, Joseph Kelly and w. T.
Markham, and their term of office will be-
gin today.
Corporation Counsel Edwards submitted
an opinion as to the liability of the real
estate of national banks to taxation, in
which he says
Under section 80 of the general tax
laws (revision, p. 1,161), it Is provided
that every person shall be assessed in the
township or ward in which he resides for
all shares of stock of any national bank
in this State, or of any bank organized
under the laws of this State, owned by
him or in his possession or control as
trustee, guardian or executor or
administrator and in case said
owner trustee, guardian or admins
traitor shall be q nonresident of
this State there, and in that case such
banks shall be assessed to the amount of
such shares SO owned or held by non.
residents as aforesaid, in the manner now
provided for by statute in the ease OF
other corporations.
mo other class of taxes is so readily
or surely collected as that on bank stock,
as the institutions themselves look very
closely to their payment. Under this
provision the National Bank or its stock
holders pay taxes upon all its shares or
capital, a part of which may be invested
in a bank building. Now, having once
collected taxes upon the stock. it would
clearly be unfair for the city to again tax
so much of that same capital which hap
pens to be invested in bank building.
This would be double taxation, which the
courts hold should always be avoided"
Mr.. Edwards, in conclusion, suggests
that instead of marking the property of
Banks ON the books exempt" the Com
missioners place the words Capital stock
and shares taxed" after the property.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the Corporation Counsel to furnish the
Board with an opinion as to the exeinp-
tion from taxation of veteran soldiers and
sailors and exempt firemen. A petition
of David A. Lindsey for the cancellation
of tax sales was also referred to Mr.. Ed
wards for his opinion as to the Board Is
authority in the premises. M
The Office hours of the Board were fixed
at from nine a. m. to five p. M, and in the
absence of the Commissioners the Clerk
of the Board will have full supervision OF
the assistant clerks, receive all complaints
and acknowledge all complaints from tax
payers. AS the business of the Board
increases the Commissioners become
more and more embarrassed for want of
adequate office facilities for the transac-
ton of their business.

THE CHILD MAY SAVE HER.

Jane Burns Appeared To Be Good
Mother, whatever Else She May BE.
There was touching scene in Justice
Stilsing's Court this morning. Jane
Burns, dissolute woman, was arraigned
at the bar for drunkenness. In her arms
she carried plump, pretty baby, which
contentedly nestled against her bosom
and nibbled a cracker.
The Justice told the woman that the
Oyerseer of the Poor would take charge
of the child while she was punished. 1t
was charged against her that she was
drunk yesterday and had been source of
ANNOYANCE to her neighbors.
The woman begged piteously not to be
separated from her child, and said that
with all her faults she had always taken
good care of the baby.
The appearance of the child certainly
indicated that it was not suffering from
want or neglect.
Justice Stilsing sent the mother and
child back to the cells.
