Zsnzic, the world renowned magician
and prestidIgitator. viii commence series
of entertainments at the Crawford Grand

Christmas matinee and night perform
ance. He will occupy the thester for the
balance of Xmas week, giving q different
performance each evening. His celebrat-
ed Black Art will be given and all OF the
newest feats in magic and legerdemain. II
is little wonder that Zanzic has been re-
gsrded with superstitious awe IN less en-
iightened countries than this, for many OF
his performances, besides being far beyond
comprehension, seem 20 be impossible.
His resources are almost inexh sus.ible
and he never duplicates one OF his per-
formances. His ability TO entertain,
amuse and mystify has been the wonder
in all Of the eastern cities. He has devot-
ed AL of his energies TO the study Of the
occult and has won by harl work aud
study the fame that is granted 20 him
Seats will be on sale the mrs. OF the week

STEVENS BOYS DISAPPOINTED.
Their Exhibit at Paris Crowded Down to
Very Small Limit.

Their Exhibit at Paris Crowded Down to
Very Small Limit.
The faculty of Stevens Institute, at the
request of one Of the Commissioners of
the Paris Exhibition, have sent over
complete set of photographs of the insti-
tute. Every classroom is shown, and the
mechanical workshops are represented
with the boys at work at the lathes, and
the machine shops are shown with the
machinery in motion.
Besides that, copies of the Institute pub
lications, the Bolt, Eccentric and IN
dtcator, will be bound and sent over. The
photographs will be mounted and pasted
in book form with the magazines, which
will be placed on q table for perusal in the
Educational Department of the American
exhibits.
During the centennial of 1876 Stevens
Institute had monster exhibit at Phila-
delphia which required special car to
convey it. Among them were specimens
of worked iron, drawings and models. 1t
was at first thought that the entire stand
would be shipped to Paris from Philadel-
phia, but the order was rescinded. Presi-
dent Morton, of the Institute, thinks that
the exhibit is hardly what it should be.
It was only this morning that he heard
from the Commissioner that the space in
the American Department was limited
and requesting him to have the order
countermanded.
Among the students generally the feel
ing is one of keen disappointment They
considered the fact of their work being
selected for this purpose an honor, and
would have been pleased to have sent a
large and interesting exhibit.

LOCAL VICTIMS OF THE FLOOD.
Some Jersey City Workmen Probably in
the Wreck-Appeals for Aid.

the Wreck-Appeats Tor Aid.
Among the stories of wreck that come
from the Conemaugh Valley is one an
nouncing the destruction, with other es-
Establishments there, of the Gautier Steel
Works. These works used to be located
in the Lafayette section of this city, and
they employed hundreds of hands. About
fourteen years ago DR.. Gautier built new
foundries for his business near Johns
town and continued the manufacture at
that place.
With him went about one hundred of
his old employees, who removed to Johns
of this city gathered at the Pennsylvania
Railroad depot to see the two carloads of
employees depart for their new homes.
Some of these came back, but the major
ity of them were still employed in the
works when the great flood of Friday aft
ernoon burst upon them. $50 that proba-
bly, among the dead are many who were
personally known to the working people
of this city.
The Gautiers will lose nothing, how
ever, by the wreckage of the works. Some
years ago they sold the foundry to the
Cambria Iron Company for $500, 200, and
are now in business at the foot of Greene
street, in this city.

CHARTER ARGUMENTS.
THEY IRE BEGUN BEFORE THE SU-
PREME COURT.

Chief Justice Beaseley Rules That the
Jurisdiction Is Part of the Main
Question = Senator Edwards Opens
the Case.
TRENTON, June 3, 1889. Judges Beasley.
Depue and Knapp heard charter argu-
ments today. All the counsel were pres
ent. Mr.. Collins wanted first to
argue the question of jurisdiction
of the court under the Special Term act,
Justice Beasley ruled this to be part of
the main question, and also that the new
charter should begin the argument.
Mr.. Edwards argued that the courts
have decided that the Legislature has
power to submit the act to the people,
citing Depue's decision in the New Bruins
wick case and others.
Two days notice was given. The act
did not require publication on two days
and therefore Sunday counted. He
argued that the proclamation could
legally be issued on the day the
act was signed, and that O'Nell had
registration showed the interest OF people
in last election, presumably on account OF
Charter.
All over the city today there was the
liveliest interest among the officeholders
who are in and afraid they may be thrown
out, and among the officeholders who are
out and afraid they won't be able to get
in, as to the proceedings before the
Supreme Court on the charter question.
"Have you heard anything?" was the
one anxious question I heard on every
side.
OF course l had heard nothing definite
nothing beyond the one fact that the ar
gument was in progress, and that was
about all l expected o.hear. The decis-
ion will not be reached today. The argu-
ment even may not be concluded; and it
is not impossible that the main question
will not be touched at all, for the present,
by the Court.
The first issue raised by the defendants
is that the act providing for the determi-
nation of the question at special term of
the Supreme Court is unconstitutional
and illegal, and that it does not give the
court in special term jurisdiction over
the issues. If the Court entertains
the demurrer to its jurisdic-
ton it will not probably hear
argument on the main question of the
sufficiency and constitutionality of the
question at once, but will defer the dis
cussion of that question till it has made
up it's mind whether it has any right to
consider and determine the issue.
The Court may decide at once that it
has jurisdiction. In that event the argu-
ment will proceed without delay on the
main question, shall the charter stand
or shall it fall? 1t is the general notion
that decision will be made on the main
question, if the Court decides that it has
Jurisdiction, about the middle of June

THE LIQUOR COMPLICATIONS.
The Brewers Are Advised That Licenses
Do Not Expire.

The Brewers Are Advised That Licenses
Do Not Expire.
Ex-Assemblyman Michael 7. Barrett,
who is the local counsel of the Newark
brewers, differs from Corporation Counsel
Coult, of that city as to
the effect of the Werts bill on
xisting licenses Mr. Coult, as stated
in the SUNDAY MORNING NEWS
of yesterday, holds that the repeal of the
High License law vitiates and nullifies all
licenses granted under it, and contends
that the only licenses that are still opera.
tive are those granted since May 20, when
the new law went into effect
Mr.. Barrett argues in an opinion sub
mitted to the Brewers Association on
Saturday, that in the absence of an ex-
press declaration to the contrary in the
new bill, licenses will remain good till
they are expired. He makes the
point that neither the old bill
nor the new grants licenses, but that that
is a function devoNed by old laws upon
the licensing powers, whatever they may
be, and that the only effect of either law
was to determine what these who hold
them may or may not do under them.
City Clerk Scott said this morning that
licenses granted prior to May 20 will be
respected till they expire, by their terms,
and that no steps will be taken to compel
those whose licenses may possibly have
been ended by the repeal of the High
License law to take out new ones.
Since May 20 only eight licenses have
been granted. The majority of licenses
office desires to notify liquor dealers that
blank applications may now be had there
by those who contemplate renewing their
Licensees

TRACKS UNDER WATER.

The d., L. and w. Railroad Impeded by
the Floods.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad has suffered much incon-
venience owing to the recent heavy rains.
At Elmira their line is completely under
water as well as the piers connected with
the depot. The waters have been so
rough that traffic had to be stopped
until they subside and the road
bed can be tested. All along their
line in mountainous districts they have
had trouble. Several bridges have been
carried away. At Delaware Water Gap
traffic was stopped throughout Saturday,
but was resumed this morning. Super
intendent Reasoner said that the trouble
is now practically over and that COM
munication with all points will be re-
sumed tonight.

To the Editor of the Jersey City Neaos;-
While the immensity of the most terrible
catastrophe in this country's history is yet
full in the minds of the millions of read
ers of the newspapers, big with heart
rending though imperfect details; while
the hearts of sympathetic men and women
yes, even children-are wrung with
anguished thoughts of the terrible suffer
ings that must endure to the survivors,
and the poverty that must necessarily, for
a time, at least, superyene, is 1t not right
and proper that immediate and thorough
aid should be offered from all parts of the
country?
The contemplation by memory cannot
possibly realize all the details of suffering
that is endured by grieving relatives, but
it can strengthen the efforts of assistance
that will be made universal by a multi
tude of sorrowing friends.
Your paper has become q strong and
earnest factor in fighting against abuses
and such other matters that require
powerful advocacy.
Let it now be the champion to raise in
the State of New Jersey subscription
list for temporary relief OF those who so
Unexpectedly require aid. Use your
editorial or other columns to advertise
such plan and you will be assisted on
every side.
/ will gladly fall into the breach and by
all possible endeavor do my utmost. Let
each and every mother who has dear
children; let every father devoted to wife
and family; let every brother and sister
strong in fraternal love, be urged on to send
in theircontributions, however small, and,
like the current that originally was small,
but at length grew gigantic and uncon-
tr,,lIobJa thot has pollSpd s1lch dire diaaS-
