pROPERTY OWNERS COMBINE.
Fifth and Sixth District Men Form an
Organization.

Organization.
A dozen or so representative residents
of the Fifth and Sixth districts, inter-
ested in the improvement and develop
ment Of the city and county in general,
but the elevated district in particular,
assembled last evening in Haisey's real
estate agency, at No. 121 Monticello av-
enue, on the Heights. The main object
of the gathering was to establish citi-
zens protective association in the districts
represented, and then by combining forces
with similar organizations of the Fourth
and Lafayette districts, eventually secure
desired reforms and all needed improve
meDts.
j: a. MacBierney was elected president,
and G. A. Roe secretary. On the motion
of Mr.. Tate it was decided to make the
organization permanent, and also to
secure a hall wherein they could have
their headquarters. Aside from these
formal proceedings no business of i'm
portance was transacted.
A controversy on the justice of taxing
the property holder for improvements,
between S. F. Campbell, a Montgomery
street property owner, and John A MOley,
Monticello avenue secondhand furni-
ture dealer and holder of property on the
Heights, occupied nearly the whole
time OF the meeting. Mr.. Campbell's
advocacy Of improvements under any
and all circumstances was bitterly op-
posed by Mr. MoleY, with his Henry
George principles. The former believed
that rapid transit, sewers emptying into
the Hackensack, ETC., would increase the
value of property near the place of the
improvements, and in justice to
the people, advocated the assess
ment of property holders for these inn
provements.
Mr.. Moley, however, believed that all
taxation or assessment for these improve
ments should be made on the increased
value of the property. Mr.. Moley is an
earnest talker. His oratory, however,
had little effect on his audience
A comical incident occurred during the
course of his address, which temporarily
"broke him up"
Mr.. Moley grew up from a tod ddlinq
youngster right in the heart of the
Heights, and is known to every mothers
son thereabouts. His juvenile acquaint-
ances who happened to pass Halsey's
last evening were surprised to see him
shouting his objections and gescticulat
ing wildly by way of impressing his
hearers. One youngster, with his eyes
just peeping over the partly raised win
dow curtain, not wishing his companion
to miss the treat, shouted to him:-'Hi
Muggsy: get on ter Moley spoutin' will
yer.
Mr.. Moley ceased objecting just long
enough to make broad grin to make
the rounds of the room.
An adjournment was then taken. The
next meeting will be held just as soon as
a hall can be secured.

A BULLET In HIS BRAIN.
WILLIAM WAGNER, OF NORTH

Depressed by Physical Suffering, the Re
suit of an Injury-North Hudson
Notes-An Awful Death from Lock-
jaw.
William Wagner, of North Bergen,
shot himself through the head yesterday
afternoon and died instantly.
Wagner has had sad life. He met
with an accident some years ago which
seriously injured the bone of his right
leg.
From that time until his sad death, he
was in constant pain. He grew more and
more respondent and the efforts of his
wife to cheer him up were unavsiling.
Baker Paul employed him for a time
to take charge of his route, but Wagner's
mOrose disposition, the result of his ply
s1cal suffering, kept him con-
tinually in hot water, and he lost his
place. Wagner raised a row when he
was given his walking papers, and it is
said that he drew pistol and threat
ened to shoot Paul and two other men
who worked with him.
That happened some weeks ago. and
since then Wagner has done nothing for
his support
He had often threatened to kill himself,
and his action surprised no one who knew
him. ~
Wagner prepared himself for his end in
a most methodical way. He placed q
blanket on the floor, and taking his
position before a mirror, he placed the
muzzle of the revolver to his right
temple and fired the fatal shot
His wife ran up stairs and found him
lying there in a pool of blood, stone
dead.
Undertaken Gschwind took charge of
the body. Coroner Brackner has been
notified
1t is thought that his physical affiiction
and other troubles unsettled Wagner's
mind
