While Driver William Davis was on his
9:4O trip to Jersey City this morning,
with car No. 142 of the Hoboken Railway,
the whifietree broke and the horses pulled
him over the dashboard and dragged him
for some distance along the street. The
brake was partly ON and the car soon
stopped. The horses became frightened
and dragged Davis out of the way of the
car. He attributes his escape from serious
injury to that cause. The accident oc-
clirred at Tenth street.

Chief Justice Beas1ey Will
Not Decide on the
Government.
HE WANTS TO HEAR TESTIMONY.
June 8, at Eleven O'Clock in the
Morning, Chosen for Argument
On the Constitutionality Of the
Charter.
rspecial to The JERSEY city Neaus.l

TRENTON, May 4, 1ss0-Mayor Cleve-
lands petition from Chief Justice Beasley
to settle the controversy over the Jersey
City Charter was presented here this
morning. Governor Albeit, Senator Ed
wards and Speaker Hudspeth appeared
for the Charter, and ex-Mayor Gilbert Col
Inns and ex-senator Brinckerhoff, for the
old officials.
Senator Edwards read the petition
which is very long, and gives the history
OF the new charter, and gives graphic
picture of the faults in Jersey City's pres
ent government These facts are given
to show the necessity for immediate
action.
The petition concludes by asking for
Special Term of the Supreme Court to de-
termine the controversy, and to decide
which officials shall reign in the mean
time
When the reading was finished Mr.. Col
Inns declared that there was scarcely a
paragraph which he did not challenge.
He denied that the act submitted by
O'Neill's proclamation was the act passed
by the Legislature.
He also asserted that Mayor Cleveland
was in the city when O'Nein issued the
proclamation.
He urged that in any case the old off,
cials should not be ousted pending the
suit, without hearing.
GOVERNOR ALBEIT TO THE FORE.
Albeit replied to Mr.. Collins, and de-
clared that if the old officials were allowed
to remain in control of the government,
they should be put under limitations
which would prevent them from infiicting
litigation on the city such as the new
charter was designed to prevent.
He argued that O'Neill's proclamation
was correct.
Justice Beasley said that he could not
decide which officials were entitled to
Office until he passed on the question
whether the law was properly in force,
and whether any new officials were actu-
ally performing duties.
He was ready to call special term of
the Supreme Court, but on the question
of ad interim appointments hearing was
necessary.
Mr.. Albeit suggested q Commissioner
TO Lake beSUlmOny.
TESTIMONY WILL BE TAKEN.
Justice Beasley ordered testimony to be
taken on these two points, and gave per-
mission to Mr. Collins to apply to take
testimony on other disputed points if he
so desired.
Mr.. Collins brought up the constitu
tionality of the act under which the ar-
plication was made, but the Chief Justice
said that that was point for the Supreme
Court to settle.
June 8, at eleven o'clock, was appointed
for the special term of the Supreme
Court.
Answers must be filed by week from
Monday.
Testimony on the question Of
ad. interim officials was or
dered taken before Supreme Court
Commissioner Cassidy, ON one days
notice, and Justice Beasley will hear argu-
ment on the question next Thursday.
The matter was then adjourned.

The Tables Turned.

The arrogance Of railroad officials
in Ontario and the overbearipg way
in which money has been demanded
is well illustrated in the following
occurrence:
Colonel G. attended a meeting of the
Barrie Town council and remarked
Gentlemen, my road is now ap.
preaching your town, and think oi
putting a station here for your bene-
st. So I want the town to vote me q
bonus of $4,000 for my road"
Colonel" timidly remarked one of
the councillors, "the county of Simcoe
has voted 100000 to the railway en-.
terprise already, and the town is toe
poor to give $4,000 additional"
well, vote on the proposition" re.
turned the colonel, as he left the
room, "and let me know your de.
cision."
The council voted the proposition
down and so announced, when the
colonel became wrathy and said: "SC
you refuse me the $4,000? Well, by
CAD, sir, I'll make grass grow in the
streets of Barrie"
"The colonel did iniure the town q
little" said the narrator, "by placing
the station at Allandale, n mile dis.
tant, but I have resided in Barrie
nearly thirty years and have never
seen grass growing in the streets, ex
cept along the cutters in rainy
weather; but 1 know one thing--that
is, that the grass is growing pretty
durn lively over the old man." DE

wAsHBURN's ILLNESS.
The Georgia Ainstrels.

The famous Georgia Minstrels gave
a performance at the opera house
last evening before large audience.
There were many good features Of a
novel character. which we're heartily
applauded by the audience. J. W.
Watts made hit in his female i'm.
presentations, and George Jackson,
the oomical comedian, took the house
by storm. The singing by the Cres-
cent City Quartette was very fine and
worthy OF particular mention. The
great and only Billy Kersands was OF
course the star of the evening, and in
his original specialties was most
amusing. The performance conclud-
ed with the plantation scene, Susan
Browns Wedding" which was very
amusing.-Duluth Tribune.

How Men Die

If we know all the methods of ap.
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
Of the body suffices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases a little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of Cough,
Cold or any trouble OF the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
carful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene-
factor OF any home"

Flooring Sam Jones.

Rev. Sam Jones whoops up the boys
sometimes and rakes them terribly
about their gambling and drinking
frolics. "Oh, I've been all along
there, boys. But when wanted to
get married, when 1 wanted to
settle down with q good wife,
1 quit drinking ard gambling,
and 1 didn't go to the ball room
to get my wife, but 1 went to prayer
meeting and got good one" He
told this IN Texas, and when he re-
turned to his boarding honse his
landlady, who had heard his remarks,
said: Il don't blame you brother
Jones, but poor sister Jones; where
did she go to get her husband?"
They say this is the only time he has
been floored since he has quit drink
ing.

Hon. Nathan Golf and President
Carr, of the West Virginia Senate,
both took the oath of office of the
Governor of West Virginia. Gov.
Wilson, the present incumbent, de-
cIined to turn over the Office, but
said he would do all in his power to
secure speedy settlement of the
matter. President Carr on Wednes-
day obtained writ of quo warranto
against Acting-Governor Wilson, re-
turnable Monday, and on Thursday,
Gen. Golf made application for man
damus to GUST Wilson. Argument in
the case was commenced ON Friday
before the Supreme Court of Appeals,
and at the conclusion of the argu-
ment on Saturday Colonel st. Clair,
as Governor Wilson's counsel, made
an application to the court for writ
of prohibition against Judge Guthrie,
Sylvester Chapman and r. S. Carr,
to prevent them from proceeding with
the quo warranto case now before the
Circuit Court until decision of the
Supreme Court had been reached.
The court took the application for ex-
animation and adjourned until to-day
at 10 o'clock, when it is expected a
decision will be rendered.
