LOYAL FOREsTERS.

One of Court Bergen's Member Has
Much to Say for Ii,
TO the Editor of the Jerseu City Neios,-
On Wednesday, February 20, Court
Bergen, A. o. F., held their regular meet
ing in Odd Fellows Hall, Paramount and
Bergen avenues. AS the members of
Court Bergen did not taxi any action in
the recent separation OF most of the courts
of the United States from the High Court
of the World, Court Bergen now is the
only court in Hudson county which repre-
sents universal Forestry, and the mem
bers pride themselves on upholding the
rites and ritual of such an ancient order
as the A. o. +. is. Brother Kent was in
stalled as treasurer, Brother j. Sutcliff
as financial secretary, and Brother Rod
gers as senior woodward. The Bergen
boys had not quite recovered from their
trip to Park Ridge before they were in
vited to open another court in Brooklyn.
They also have a similar engagement for
March IL, and could also go TO ConnecUi-
cut to assist at an installation, but they
think that two trips in the same month
are quite sufficient.
Court Bergen prospers. Why? Be-
cause it's members are devoted to the good
cause of u, b. and c., and invite all to
join them.
Another reason why the court is so sue
cessful is because the members are good
workers, particularly in entertaining
their visitors, In fact, their committee
have already hired the barges and grove
and AVE everything in readiness for their
annual excursion. The members are
more than pleased to see so bright a news
paper Is THE SUNDAY NEWS take up the
cause of Forestry I'M allow the public to
see what is going on in its courts.

ing saturday Night.
A very interesting meeting of the
G~reenville Y. M. G. A. Executive Com
mittee was held at the Hall, No. 80 Lin
den avenue, Saturday evening. The sec
retary's report showed the average daily

a cash balance on hand of over sl95.
The Lecture Committee reported that q
lecture on ~"Telegraphy, Past and Pres
emit" by William Maever, is in prospect.
After a lively discussion it was decided to
charge no admission for lectures in the
future. Messrs. H. N. Walker, H. Har-
vey and r. Walker were appointed to ar
range for a series of entertainments. and
it was decided to leave other social feat
ures to the Ladies' Auxiliary.
The suggestion of holding religious
services at the rooms met with hearty
and unanimous approval, and it was de-
cided TO hold such meetings every Thurs
day evening. Messrs. Harvey, CheseDro,
D~uncanson and Feree volunteered to act
as a Religious Committee" Mr.. G. w.

THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES.

Argument to be Heard on the 2 ON
Their Mandamus.
Judges Knapp and Magee have decided
to hear on Saturday, March %, at eleven
o'clock in the morning, the argumen
upon an application for a writ of man
damus to compel tine Board of Finance to
pay to the trustees of the Free Public
Library, of this city, the sum of s25, 533. 10.
The trustees claim that the Free Library
act is mandatory, and it fixes the amount
of the appropriation at the rate of one
third of a mill on each dollar OF the as
sesed valuation, and the sum raised there
by would equal the amount claimed by
the trustees.
Corporation Counsel w. d. Edwards
will appear for the Board of Finance, and
Counsellor George Il. Record for the trus-
tees.
The Board of Finance has appropriated
to the library for the ensuing year only
$40, 900, and the trustees demand the entire
amount, as provided for in the act.
There viii be no presentation of evil
dence in the case. The question is simply
one of law. and is whether the approprl-
alton shall be made from the levy Of this
year or whether a special. levy be made
for the purpose. RI

IMpROYING 4 SrREETS

A Pile of Work Done at the Street
Boards Meeting.
The Board of Street and Water Com
missioners at this mornings meeting lis
tened to circumstances against severa
important proposed Improvements.
Morris Washburn, Albert J. Leno and
others objected to be assessed at $50 pei
lot in the improvement of Linden avenue,
as part Of the thoroughfare had been al
ready paved. MeSsrs. Washburn, W.
Collins and others objected TO the inn
provement of Danforth avenue for pretty
much the same reasons.
There were two circumstances against
the proposed opening OF Herbert street rc
connect Cottage street with Newark ave
nue.. One was from Andrew Mclean, Jr.,
executor of the Mclean estate, and the
other from Frederick q. Freund and
twenty-seven other interested property
| owners.
OF the tw~epty-eight signers of the re.
~monstrance, George i. Burk, Fred &,
Freund, L. c. Freund, Katie Dolan and
Michael Reddy stated that they would
withdraw their opposition If the owne
of a lot needed would charge no more
than 81 200.
Mr.. John Mccain was present to urge
the necessity of the opening of the pro
posed street. If the street was connected
with the NeWark avenue sewer better
drainage could be had.
John M. Shannon and others protested
against tie proposed construction of q "a
inch brick oval sewer in st. Paul's ave-
nue., from Tonnele avenue to the Hack
| ensack River, on the ground that the pc
tition presented last May vas not signed
by one-third of the interested property
owners.
The proposed change of grade and i'm.
provement of Germania avenue called
forth three Inconsistencies.
In some places it will make the street
fourteen feet lower than at present.
Nicholas Hausenger n others hoped
the Board would reconsider its action,
especially in reference to changing the
grade of Columbia avenue. as
Germania avenue would become
a mere reservoir for the drainage of
other streets unless the joint-sewer was
completed much earlier than was an
ticipated. Tenants would be obliged to
leave their houses in some cases.
There were no circumstances against
the improvement of Sherman avenue,
from Bowers to South streets, nor objec-
lions against the final assessments for
the construction of the Laidlaw avenue
sewer.
A petition from Patrick McArdle and
others, praying for the improvement of
Fifth street, from Henderson to Grove,
was reported f%avorably upon by the Com
mittee on Streets.
Thomas Harrington was awarded the
contract for improving Gardner avenue.
Commissioner Dugan voted against the
award, and that he would
favor awarding Harrington no more con-
tracts till that heretofore favored con-
tractor performed his work in a more
satisfactory manner.

4 PoLIeENAN's STORY.
He Accuses a of Having Beaten
Him.

He Accuses a Dockman of Having Beaten
Him.
James Coyne, a policeman attached
to the First precinct, caused Thomas Cos
grove, a 'longshoreman, to be indicted for
atrocious assault and battery, and this
morning Cosgrove wa tried in the Court
of General Sessions.
1t was claimed that Cosgrove refused to
leave the dock when ordered to go by the
policeman.
Cosgrove claimed in his defence that
when ne refused to go away,
claiming he had business on
the wharf. Coyne struck him in
the face with mis- list and that when Coyne
raised his club to strike him Cosgrove
threw his arm up over his head. Cos
grove had a knife in his hand at the time,
for he had been whiting a piece of wood.
A number of witnesses c~orrobOrated
this evidence.
The policeman swore that when he at
tempted to arrest Cosgrove the latter re-
sisted and drew the knife from his pocket
and threatened him.
Judge Lippincots instructed the jury
that if they found the defendant guilty
it could only be for assault, for no battery
had been proved. The jury are yet CON
Sidering the verdict.

Guilty Man Escane.

SS~~~>swT
The Newark EpeaSng Nes1s is deter
mined to be unfair and unreasonable
in its discussion of the Hudson county
election Irregularities. 1t has been
driven from one position to another
by the sytematic disclosure of facts,
but having nothing solid left to stand
on it wallows around in a slough of
g~eneralities and vicious inuendoeg.
Some Of the machinery of the law in Hudson
county, 1t is suspected, is subject to the control
of men who are participants in these crimes, or
who are bound to the criminals by ties they will
not care to break. But the awakened public
sentiment is on the side of the right, and backed
by it and aided by the great powers of his posi-
ton. Judge Knapp can see the law fully vindi-
Gated.
This seems to 70 outrageous; but it
is only of a pieee with all the Neaos'
utterances. Prosecutor Winfield has
pledged himself to use his utmost
efforts to punish all who criminally
tampered with the reuurns. Judge
Knapp has publicly denounced them
and openly declared his intention of
pursuing the investigation of their
acts with u~nrelenting rigor. Both of
these gentlemen are democrats, and it
seems to us they are the only persons
who have the power of advancing the
prosecution of the offenders.
In addition to this, the Hudson
Democratic Association has denounced
the election abuses and called for the
punishment of the guilty parties.
What does the Newark Neaos want?
Does it want the leading citizens of
the county to arm themselves with
guns and pistols and go out and shoot
down all the election officers at sight?
AN item in a recent issue of the
Newark Daily Advertiser informs us
that the Woman's Club, of Orange,
has recorded articles of Incorporation
in the County Clerks Office. The OBJ
jects are 'sthe formation of useful and
agreeable relations among women of
literary, artistic and scientific tastes;
DAAC 0iotAcolOh UtA0 olSScAulAldtlOIl Ol
principles and facts, which promise to

dent; Emma L. Blackwell. recording

We cannot help thinking it a pity
that the Advertiser does not tell us
whether these ladies are Mrs. or
Misses. Our idea of the new organ
ization would be materially affected
by our information on this point.
