THE FALL OPENINGS.

The Displays in the Store Windows and
Attractions Inside.
Most of the business places on Newark
avenue are having their fall openings;
and the display in many of the windows
is wonderfully attractive
Z. G. Brown & Van Anglen's display of
dress goods and millinery has kept great
throngs of ladies in front of the store all
the week, the leading styles in embroid-
cred robes being the special attraction. A
splendid assortment of combination suits,
side bands, cashmeres and a full line of
novelties in dress goods are temptingly
arrayed about the tables and counters.
Charles S. Furst's dry and fancy goods
emporium has been thronged all week
with shoppers. The trimmed millinery
department on the second floor is espec-
tally an attractive feature of this popular
house. There are no decorations to speak
of except the originality displayed in ar
ranging the large and beautiful stock of
millinery and dress goods. The windows
are elaborately decorated.
At the Boston Clothing House great
stacks of clothing are filled so high upon
the tables that even Salesman Walsh, the
tallest of the array of statesmen employed
in the mammoth emporium, can scarcely
see over the tops of them. All varieties
of mems and boys clothing advantage
ously exposed to view. Two stores, COW
ering an area of 1O0x50 feet, devoted ex.
clusively TO display of clothing. Two
more stores, each 100x25 feet, are artisti-
cally stocked with mems furnishing
| goods, shoes, etc. The jewelry depart
ment is great attraction. 1t is stocked
with every description of jewelry, includ-
ing watches inlaid with rubies and dia-
monds. Superintendent Berns reports
business as booming
Marshall & Ball Company's special at
traction is their superb line of fall over
coats, including every shade and quality.
Manager NJ. A. Griffin called my atten-
tion to the many new patterns in mems
suits. The children's clothing depart
ment is gem.
One of the prettiest of the displays is
at Perlmutter's. The windows are
exquisitely dressed with millinery goods,
the beautiful shades of colors in trim
mings enabling Mr.. J. de Young, the
decorator, to weave many beautiful
designs that would reflect credit upon
the largest millinery houses in the United
States inside the store is elaborately
decorated with plants, ferns and ever
greens. The stock includes millinery
goods of every description. At night the
decorations are particularly attractive
The cloak department on the second floor
is finely equipped. A full line of sealskins
are temptingly exposed to view.

First ward voters, are denominated, af-

Nicholas Carroll put forth no ticket in
the Fourth ward, as it is said the COM

date. There were, however, two tickets
in the field, which are said to respectively

COLLECTOR HUNT In COURT.

The Ex-EmpIoyee of Dodge s. Bliss
BaiIed in the Sum of 5000.
Jefferson Hunt, the collector for the
firm of Dodge & Bliss, box manufacturers
at Grand and Bay streets, the story of
whose arrest was related in yesterdays
JERSEY CITY NEWS, was bailed yesterday
by Justice Weed in the sum of 5000, the
prisoner to appear before the Justice
from day to day for the next thirty days.
Isaac >. Vanderbeck is his DOndSman.
Counsellor Flavel McGee appeared at
the hearing in the interests of Hunt.
Detective Hurd, representing the New
YORK authorities, raised the point that no
bail could be accepted in a Jersey City
court upon prisoner awaiting extradi-
ton papers from the Governor of New
York. The crime was committed in New
York city.
Lawyer ..McGee replied that in his
opinion the New York authorities were
overstepping their rights in interfering
with the Interpretation of New Jersey
law, and said they were trying to collect
a debt by criminal procedure when civil
procedure was the proper course.
Justice Weed reserved his decision for
one hour. The tardiness of the State
printer in issuing copies of the laws
passed by the last Legislature prevented
the Judge from having copy in his pos
cession, and as he wished to consult it be-
fore giving his decision he borrowed one
from Chief of Police Murphy. After
reading the new laws he concluded that
he had perfect right to fix the bail as
stated.
Hunts story differs somewhat from
that related by Mr.. Bliss. his employer,
in THE JERSEY CITY News of yesterday.
At the trial he claimed that he was not
discharged by the firm of Dodge & Bliss,
but that he left OF his own free will; and
these charges of embezzlement were
subsequently trumped up against
him because he had started a
box manufacturing business of his own
in Brooklyn and was taking away con-
siderable of Dodge & Bliss trade along
with him.
truth of the charges brought against
him, but stated that he would answer
them at the proper time

FIGHT FOR THE CURRIE LANDS.
Some Exceedingly Sharp and Interesting
Legal Work

Some Exceedingly Sharp and Interesting
Legal Work.
The fight between the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company and the Currie heirs
has been transferred to the Court Of
Chancery.
Yesterday Mr.. Charles Black, of the
firm of Randolph, Condict & Black, OBJ
tanned an order from Chancellor McGill
directing the railroad company to show
cause why an injunction should not issue
restraining it from continuing work on
the land of which it has taken possession.
The order is returnable on October IA, and
in the meantime restrains the company
from proceeding with the work until the
further order of the court.
Mr.. Mungo Currie went down to the
scene of the battle this morning and
served an injunction. The men imme-
dlately quit work, and will remain away
from the property until the matter is dis
posed of by the court
The most interesting question which
the Chancellor will be called upon to con-
slider in connection with this case is the
course pursued by the railroad people in
taking possession of the land.
According to Mr.. Corbin, the company
had its arrangements completed for pay
ing the amount of the award into court
according to the order of the Chancellor
as soon as the amount was known.
The Office of the Clerk in Chancery, at
which such payments are usually made,
is in Trenton. Mr.. Corbin will say moth
ing as to what arrangements he had to
get the amount down there minute or
two after it was announced in Judge Gar
rick's office in this city, or whether it was
paid there or not. All he will say is that
the files of the court will show when the
money was paid.
Mr.. Corbin further says that when the
award was made he raised discussion as
to the advisability of the Commissioners
signing the duplicate copies of the award.
While this was going on representative
of the railroad company slipped from the
office and by the mysterious method
alluded to above paid the money into
Court
On the other hand it is claimed that
Mr.. Mungo Currie hurriedly left the
room almost Immediately after the words
had left Judge Garrick't lips, and that
Corbin then served him with the notice
that the money had been paid into court.
1t is claimed that it was impossible for
the railroad company to have done so in
the short time elapsing between the
announcement of the award and the
service of the notice on Mr.. Currie.

Antoni Cori is barber of No. 81 Col
gate street. He cuts the locks and cleans
the faces of the Italian colony in that
neighborhood, when not engaged in

shop. A few weeks ago number of his
patrons were in the yard gambling with a
ball and winning small coins from each
other. Business was dull, and Cori took
his two-year-old child in his arms and
Joined the game
Among the players were two Italians
named Gentili and Anton di Lori. They
ouarrelled and Gentili, it was alleged in
the Court of General Sessions this morn
ing. threw can at di Lori. The missile
flew wide of its mark and struck Coris
babe. A general fight followed, and as
was claimed Gentili cut di Lori deep
cash on the arm with razor and then
fled.
The child died, as was said, from the
effects of the blow of the can. Di Lori
caused the arrest Of Cori and two other
Italians for completely in the assault on
him, and after long, tedious trial the
case was this afternoon give to the jury.
1t is probable that the District Attorney
will Investigate the cause of the child's
death.

Attempt to Wreck Slaughter House in
New York.
Shortly after eight O'Clock this morning
the neighborhood of West Fortieth street
and Eleventh avenue, New York, was
thrown into wild excitement by the loud
explosion of what afterwards proved to
be dynamite bomb.
AS soon as the people got over their
fright and investigation was made it was
learned that most dastardly attempt
had been made to blow up the slaughter
house of J. and c. Scanlon, Nos. 613 and
615 West Fortieth street.
The bomb was thrown into an open
window, and, striking partition,
knocked it into splinters. The debris
flew about the heads of the men at work,
but fortunately none OF them were in
jured AS far as could be learned the
bomb was thrown by one of the strikers
that went out from the slaughter house
last February. The damage to property
will be about $780,
