Alderman Jordan offered a resolution

Alderman Jordan offered resolution
that the Board of Aldermen be author
ized to hire suitable places for election
purposes at O cost of not more than 81,
and that S. be allowed to fit up the places
with maps, stationery, ETC., for election
officers: and also that whenever public
buildings can be used for the purpose
they shall be so used. The resolution
was adopted.
Alderman Prigge reported favorably on
granting nine liquor licenses, and the
transfer of six, and the Board so ordered.
A resolution was adopted setting forth
that sufficient time had been given those
who had made application for licenses to
have paid for them, and that the resolu
ton extending their time be rescinded be-
cause they had neglected to pay for them.
There are dozen men affected by this.
Alderman Jordan offered resolution
that the Board of Finance be asked for
$5,000 to be added to balance on hand, for
election expenses. 1t was adopted with
out opposition.
THE NEW ELECTRIC COMPANY.
Alderman Prigge introduced an ordi-
nance to permit the Hudson County
Electric Company to lay wires, erect
poles and to use the streets for the pur-
pose of furnishing electric light to the
city. Alderman O'Rourke objected be-
cause no provision was made for the
fling of bond and that the company
virtually wanted the Aldermen to desig-

nate the streets. O'Neill said he did not
know that it was necessary to file a bond,
and Alderman Prigge thought that the
more companies there were the better it
would be for the city.
''If that is the case Iwouid like to know
what has become of the Daft Electric
Company's petition7" exclaimed Alder
man O'Rourke.
''That petition" replied Alderman
O'Neill, twas in the form of an ordinance,
but it did not explain what was wanted,
or how the company proposed to use the
electric power. If desired will have the
clerk draw an ordinance and bring 1t up
at the next meeting"
The ordinance passed.
The clerk was directed to notify Chief
Murphy that street bands must not play
before nine a. M, and Alderman O'Nein
introduced an ordinance permitting the
Jersey City and Bergen Horse Car Com
pany to use electric. motors on the streets,
and the Board adjourned, after holding
one of the most harmonious meetings In
its history

Ex-Governor Leon Albeit was cIoseted

cipal subjects will be that you will di-
late on in your letter of acceptance?"
The Governor looked mildly astonished,
and intimated that he would certainly
consider it so.
Then I said I wouldn't ask him.
The Governor evidently agreed with
me.

conferred upon me by the convention and
appreciate it.
"There is no doubt of the result of the

cause it seemed necessary to be present,
but for the purpose of talking with lead

lutely unanimous for Albeit. There was
no soreness or tenderness anywhere.

"But did not find that feeling to be of

81 predicted at the Hudson county
caucus that Abbett's majority would be

mentary remarks concerning the interest

fer with the Corporation Counsel in ref
erence to the suggestion. President

Another Railroad Advances Upon the
Besieged Land.

Another Railroad Advances Upon the
Besieged Land.
The commissioners appointed by the
Supreme Court to condemn right OF
way through the Currie estate for the
Jersey City, Newark and Western Rail
way, the branch of the Lehigh Valley
Road to New York Bay, met this morn
ing in Chancery Chambers.
Ex-Mayor O'Neill. James Warner and
ex-Judge Garrick. the members of the
commission, were all present M. L.
Newbold, Charles Black and Mungo j.
Currie appeared for the estate, and the
railroad company was represented by
Charles Corbin, of Corbins & Corbin
Mr.. Corbin said that he had no testi-
mony to offer, and Mr.. Newbold ad-
dressed the commission. He proceeded
along the line of argument adopted by
tine Curries before the commission which
condemned right of way through the
same property for the Waverly and New
York Bay Railroad, which the new
Lehigh Valley branch will parallel.
He pointed out the great advantages
which the proposed routes possessed
above all others from the Newark to the
New York Bay, and claimed that those
advantages greatly enhanced the value
of the property.
At the close of Mr.. Newbold's address
EdloW Harrison, civil engineer who
surveyed the Currie property and pre-
pared the maps which were used before
the former Commissioners, was placed
upon the stand.
He explained the maps and spoke at
length of the desirable qualities of the
Currie property, and testified to it's value.
He was cross questioned by Mr.. Corbin
with view to showing that since the
Pennsylvania had obtained right of way
Wayerly to New York Bay, the land was
not SO valuable as it had been. Mr. Har-
rison said that possibly the value of the
land might have been so affected.

quet at the Park Hotel in honor of Coun-
Gilman Stanton, who has just returned

debate. Manager Harrison, of Jacobs
Theatre, asked to be. allowed to again
stretch the banner over Newark street, at
Hudson. 1t was removed at the solicita-
tion of Mr.. Crevier. The permission was
granted.
TWO LEGAL OPINIONS.
The Corporation Attorney submitted
two opinions. One in regard to the pro-
test of the Pennsylvania Railroad against
the assessment for the River street open
ing, in which he said the Board had au-
thority to reduce the amount if they
thought it was too high. The other
opinion was that the mere proposition Of
truck was sufficient contract.
The bill of James Kilduff. the contrac-
tor, was ordered paid. The warrant is
to go to the Corporation Attorney, who is
to attend to the claims of the men who
worked on the Improvement and were
not paid. The plot OF ground at the

TORRENTS ALONG THE COAST.
The Thrilling Experience of Two Men
a Flooded Track.


ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. II, 1885,
The rain fell in torrents at Somers
Point last night and was accompanied by
q sixty mile wind from the north. The
tide was from eight to ten inches higher
than it has been at any time during the
past eight years
A number of yachts went adrift and
were piled all over the adjacent meadows.
1t is feared that if the tide rises again to
the height it was last evening that Sea
Island City, the lowest on the coast. and
also q portion of Atlantic City will be
washed away.
The schooner Louisa b. Robinson.
laden with wood, is ashore inside the
Somers Point harbor, and is lying in q

Edward H. Topham, of No sos SAMSON
street, Philadelphia, had a thrilling ex-
perience while attempting to reach At
lantic City last evening. He reached
Pleasantyille on the Reading road at
quarter of twelve, and there learned that
the train could go no further, as the tracks
were flooded and in q dangerous condition.
In company with Mr.. Bird, storekeeper
of Atlantic City, he started along the

flooded tracks for Mr.. Birds home.
They had not gone far before they
found it difficult to make progress. The
wind was blowing at powerful pace and
they were obliged to crawl on their
hands and knees along the trestle. After
proceeding about g mile in this manner
they came TO break in the trestle,
through which the water was rushing at
a terrible pace. They boldly jumped into
the water and by feeling their way along
the rails managed to pass over the wash
out in safety.
They began to crawl again along the

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. 1ss9.-There is
the best of authority for the statement
that Secretary Noble has asked the Presi-
dent to remove Pension Commissioner
Tanner, and that the President has con-
sented to the removal Commissioner
Tanners successor may be named this
week. No official statement has been
given out, but there is every reason to
believe that the President is now con-
sidering the choice of q new Commits
sioner of Pensions
A member of the Cabinet stated this
morning that this would be Commits
sioner Tanners last day in Office. 1t is
not known who is to be his successor.
At noon today no formal notice of Com
missioner Tanners removal had reached
the Secretary of the Interior. The Com
missioner is not at his Office today He
bade good bye to some of his friends in
the office last night, and today he is at
his home in the suburbs. There is little,
