THE TAX SALE.
Time Given on Some Bills-The Redemp-
tion of Sold Lands.

Time Given on Some Bills-The Redemp-
tion of Sold Lands.
The total amount realized from the sale,
under the Martin Tax Act, of delinquent
lands yesterday was s20,845.52. Before
the sale, as stated yesterday. about one
hundred of the 141 pieces of advertised
land had been redeemed, and but forty
one were left to go under the hammer.
From the delinquents about eleven thou
sand dollars were taken on account of
their arrearages, and they were given a
little time, it is said, on the balance.
The title to the property goes with the
sale of yesterday, but the delinquent has
still right to redeem, with heavy penal
ties added for his neglect. Counsellor
John w. Heck says, in explaining the
bearing of the new act, that it operates
as q mortgage. 1t may be added that the
names that figure in the lists of delin-
quents do not always represent the names
of the actual delinquents. Some parcels
have changed hands since the Delinquent
cies occurred, and in some instances
lawyers, who have bought the property
in the interests of their clients. are made
to appear as the real parties in interest.

religious opinions are SO rife among men
in public life, it was refreshing to
find in one who exerted so wide
an influence, man whose morals
were pure, and who always in
public and in private spoke with pro
found veneration of religion, its institu-
tions and its ministers. When we lay in
the tomb the earthly, decaying casket we
shall love to think of the spirit so noble
and SO cherished, and hope to meet it in
a body free from all the ills and tempta-
tions of this world"

The cortege then moved away from the
church and climbed the Hill to the Jersey

an appropriate service, just as the boom,

Passengers--Wilson Barrett Among

The greatest appr ehensions are felt for
the City Of New York, the ocean flyer.
She is still aground down the Bay, and
the company has sent down eleven tugs
to assist her and take off her passengers.
1t is feared she is sinking in the quick
sands and great excitement prevails in
maritime circles.
She lies a little east northeast of electric
buoy No. 81. There are number of
Conflicting reports in circulation concern

to get her off at three O'Clock. The eleven
tugs which were sent down to assist her,
made several efforts to get the steamship
off, but without avail.

shortly after half-past ten o. m. Mr. Ed
ward Wright was on the boat, and he I'M
mediately set to work to engage steam
boats to go down after the passengers.
The City of New York, it is thought, will
be stuck fast for several days, and will be
virtually abandoned for the present. OF
course the captain and his officers will
remain aboard the steamship until she

The first load of passengers will reach
the dock of the Inman line at about two

A BIG IMPROVEMENT.
Palisade Avenue Made PassabIe for
Vehi cIes.


For many years that portion of Pali-
SADIE avenue between Newark and Hobo
ken avenues has not only been disgrace
to the city but it's condition has rendered
vehicle travel an impossibility. Large
stones cropping every where from the
road bed. and pools of stagnant, un-
healthful water, made the street danger
Gus to travel and unpleasant to look
upon.
Palisade avenue is the direct route of
travel from Jersey City to West Ho-
boken and North Hudson county, and the
thoroughfare north of Hoboken avenue
abounds with pretentious homes over
looking New York city and it's harbor.
1t is also one of the best and most active
business avenues of the HILL Many
efforts have been made during the past
few years to have the disgraceful portion
placed in proper condition, SO that pedes-
trians and teams would no longer be COM
PEELED to travel ngcircuitousroute from
Newark avenue to Hoboken avenue, but
until recently these efforts have been
fruitless. Now, however, thanks to the
pers1stency of Nicholas Witsch and
few other residents, the city authorities
have at last rooted out the boulders and
stones from the roadway, restored the
drainage, and the road, now fit for travel,
is patronized by rush of pleasure and
business vehicles
