The Executive Session.

WASHINGTON, April lin secret ses-
sion of the csenate to-day there was con-
siderable discussion upon the nomination of
delegates to the congress of American ma
tions, to be held in this city next autumn.
Objection was made to them by the demo-
Gratis on the ground that they were almost
unanimously republican in politics, and if
their report was to have the weight before
the country and with congress that it ought
to have, there should be a more equitable
division between the two parties. Mr.. Sher-
man, chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee, which had recommended the con-
firmation of the list, stated that three of them,
namely, Whyte (Md,l, Trescott IS. o., and
Hanson (Ga.), We're democrats. The minor
ity senators, how ever, insisted that Trescott
and Hanson were mugwumps, not demo-
Gratis, and ought not to be so considered.
Mr.. Frye criticized the list of the appoint
ments, saying that so far as he knew, with
single exception none of the delegates named
out to have been appointed. He said that
Whyte was opposed to paying subsidies to
ocean steamship lines, being interested in
the operation of clipper ships trading with
South American countries, q statement
which German is said to have confirmed.
The report of the committee went over
until tomorrow without action by general
consent, there being no formal motion or OBJ
lection entered.

1t looked funny to the eight members
of the Board of Freeholders when they
saw themselves solemnly investigating
the condition of the Asylum. Almshouse
and Penitentiary, for nearly all had
"been there before, many's the time"
Pfingsten, the lonesome Republican,
and Kinney the deserted Independent,
had no use for these places and remained
away. Director Braggemann, who Is only
eT-OficiO, member of the Hill committee
enjoyed it.
He counted nine Republicans in the
Penitentiary as the, conyicts passed by
him and then struck Democrat. Then
he stopped the count.
After Colonel Grimes provided the
Board with an excellent dinner and such
other refreshment as was required to con-
form to the dictates of hospitality.
This over the Board formally met, con-
cluded that the County Institutions were
in fiourishlng condition, and that all
that was needed was few more prisoners
in the Penitentiary.
The old Board declined to furnish stone
for Tonnelle avenue after delivering
part of the supply, and the new Board
yesterday decided that the action of
its predecessor was uncalled for, and
concluded to allow Jersey City to take as
much stone from Hudson county's Snake
Hill as it needs to put Tonnelle avenue in
a good condition.

THE RAILROAD NEEDN'T HELP.
President Thurston Surprises the
Mayor with an Act Of 1871.

President Thurston, of the Jersey City
and Bergen Railroad Company, has
pumped asurprise at Mayor Cleveland, in
connection with the laying of new pave
ments between the car tracks up Montgom-
cry street. The improvement of that street
was begun in the belief that the company
would have to paye.between the rails and
eighteen inches beyond on either side.
The attention of the railroad company
was, recently. called by Mayor Cleve-
land to Section 12 of a supplement-
to an act entitled can Act to incorporate
the Jersey City and Bergen Railroad
Company" in 1859. said supplement ap-
proved Feb. 13, 1867, which saysS
And be it enacted. That it shall be the duty
or streets through which its railroad
is or may be laid that lies inside Of
the RAILS OF any of their tracks with the
same kind of material, whether eobble stone
Belgian pavement, or other substance, that the
other part of said streets street is or shall
be paved with, and to keep the said parts Of said
times in good repair at their own expense
President Thurston replied with a
marked printed pamphlet containing the
following additional supplement to the
original act of 1859 approved March 81,
1871, which reads as follows
Be it enacted by the Senate and General AS
sembly Of the State of New Jersey. That the
Jersey City and Bergen Railroad Company are
hereby authorized and empowered to lay, main
tain and operate a single or double track

be opened in continuation of Montgomery
street to West Side avenue; and thence through
West Side avenue to the New Jersey Railroad at
or near the watch factory; provided, however.
that when said track shall be laid through said
streets, the said company shall be required to
keep in good order and repair, BUT
NOT TO PAVE, that portion Of said
streets within the rails of said track or
tracks, and eighteen inches thereof, as ia
required in the charter of Jersey City, in regard
to all horse railroads within the limits of said
city
From which it appears that the city Will
have to do its own paving between the

WILL SUE TIE RAILROAD.

Contractor Phillips Wants Damages for
Being Caught Between Two Cars.
Mr.. John Phillips, the contractor and
builder, of No. IS Gregory street. through
his counsel, Messrs. Blair & Grouse,
has brought a suit in the Circuit Court
against the Jersey City and Bergen Rail-
road Company to recover S., 900 damages
for injuries.
On October l, at the junction of Mont
gomery, Gregory and Van Worst streets,
Mr.. Phillips was caught between Green
Vile and Montgomery street car and re-
ceiyed injuries which have confined him
to his room ever since. Two ribs were
broken and he was severely bruised about
the head and body. Drs. Gray. Dickin-
son and McGill have been attending him,
and it will be some time yet before he
will have sufficiently recovered to attend
to his business. About ten minutes past
seven in the evening on the day above
mentioned, Mr.. Phillips started to cross
Montgomery street. There was a Green
Vile car coming from the ferry; a Mont
gomery street car approached from the
west, and almost at the same moment
Gregory street car reached the intersec-
ton of the three thoroughfares. The
driver of the Montgomery street car,
William Mutler, in order to cut off the
car coming down Gregory street drove
rapidly. Mr.. Phillips was caught be-
tween the two cars Just as the Greenville
car was swinging around the corner into
Van Worst street.
Mutler was arrested. Phillips was car
ried to the First Precinct Station House
and Dr. Gray was summoned. The case
will come up for trial at the April term.

TO REMOVE A CLOUD.

Property in Bayonne the Subject of a
Hearing in Chancery.
Some days ago the complainants filed a
bill in chancery to clear up title to
certain property purchased by them
under foreclosure proceedings, located be-
tween Third and Fourth streets S and I,
Bayonne.
Special Master in Chaneery John A.
Blair took testimony yesterday in the case
of the Condert Brothers of New York
city, complaints, and +. A. f. Man, of
Bayonne, defendant.
The property was formerly owned by
Mr.. John j. Van Buskirk. 1t is valued
at IS, 500, but was reduced $500 by reason
of a strip being taken from it of sixty
feet, for street purposes. Van Bushkirk
mortgaged the property, and, being un-
able to hold it, it was sold under the
hammer.
After coming into possession of the
Coudert Brothers it was laid out into
building elots. A number of lots were
sold to various parties.
In the division of the property Man.
who became interested in part of the
property, alleged that there was an en-
croachment of about 81 feet.
The present action is brought to deter
mine whether such is the case ot not
rnd if not to remove the cloud from the
title held by the Condit Brothers and
others who became purchasers of a part
of the property. Case still on.

he traced from Orange Laketo Montgom-

they robbed the station prior to the rob
berry at Port Jervis. The thieves, Charles
Beach and Virgil McMullen, have been
arrested and the stolen goods restored.
