THE ELECTION TRIALS.
Prosecutor Winfield Says
the First One Will Start
on Monday.

District Attorney Winfield and Mr.. j.
B. Altemus were closeted in the Office OF
the District Attorney for several hours
today, preparing subp@nas for the cleo
tion conspiracy case, which is set down
fortrial on Monday. This does not look
as rumor has it, that the case will not be
tried on that day, but there is general
belief among the Court House officials.
Notwithstanding, that the conspiracy case
will go over. No one appears to know
just why this should be-
There appears to be general impress
sion among prominent lawyers that a
struck jury cannot try the cases for the
reason before stated in THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS, that struck jury will deprive the
defendants of the constitutional right of
challenge by reducing the number of
challenges from twenty to six.
When | asked the District Attorney IL
the case would be moved on Monday
next, he laconically answered.
so far as l know"
'If the case is moved will it be post
poned?"
81 am not the judge" answered Mr..
Winfield "The State will not ask to
have it put on
"We1l, will the defence ask for further
time9n
II don't know; they don't consult me
about their side of the case"
NOT NECESSARY TO BE UNEASY.
Counsellor, it is claimed that the case
will be put off because Of the question
raised about the right of challenge. Will
that cause pOstponement?"
Don't let that cause you any uneasi-
ness, young man, that will not prevent
the trial Monday"
What Will?n
Il don't know, Pm sure"
And so it is. No one swho knows will
give any information whatever about the
prospects. 1t has been currently rumored
that Derancey, one of the indicted Board
set down eor trial Monday, will be a wit
ness for the State. About this the prose-
cutor refused to say anything but he
eagerly questioned me as to wnat infor-
nation Derancey could give.
Ii is said that Derancey is aware that
frauds were committed by the Board and
against his protest, but that he was out
voted and could not prevent them. He is
said to be willing to testify to this. De-
rancey is clerk in the employ of General
Ramsay.
NOTHING TO soUEAL ABOUT
asked the General If Derancey puld
''squeal." He replied he thought not, for
he did not believe he knew anything to
tell
Ii ne had," said the General, II think
he would have said something to me
about the matter, but ne has not done SO.
No, don't think Derancey is wanted by
the State as Witness
That the indicted men will have all the
money needed to defray the expenses Of
the trial is now beyond doubt The as
sessments levied by the leaders of the
ring upon the Office holders and the large
fund in the Democratic County Com
mittee's treasury will be sufficient
for all purposes. The question might be
asked here, what right the County Com
initt5e has to expend the money in its
treasury for the defence of these rascals
when it was contributed to defray what
were presumed to be legitimate cam
naiun exnanses?

and that they would argue the com
potency of the testimony on the return
of the rule. He then went on to say that
they began to take testimony on May 2l;
that ali of the time except one week had
been spent on the ballot boxes and roll
lists. There was discovered a false count
which reduced Mr.. Cleveland's majority
about 300, and as soon as those frauds be-
came apparent the other side began to
hamper and delay them. Mr. Per-
kins' side had reserved eight days
for the taking of the canvassers' testi-
mony, which would have been ample if
they had not been met by the unreason-
able protest against a stenographer
Then the other side had spent five hours
cross examining a witness whose testi-
mony was short, and whole day on the
cross-examination of another and were
not through with him yet.
MAY CROSS EXAMINE FAIRLY.
Mr.. Edwards asked il his side had not
the right to cross-examiue the witness
and the Court settled that point by inter
jecting that they undoubtedly had, but

Passaic Sewage Allowed to Mix with
Our Water Supply.
Special to the Jersey City Netcs.
TRENTON, June is, 1S90.--The decision
of the Court of Errors and Appeals
made this morning in the case of the
Newark Aqueduct Board against
the city of Passaic, endorsing
the position of the Chancellor in
refusing to permanently enjoin the latter
city from emptying its sewage into the
Passaic River, skaters the only hope OF
saving the already polluted source of
Newark's water supply from furthert con-
tamination.
The suit was brought originally in the
court of chancery when q temporary in
junction was granted. An appeal was
then taken to the Court of Errors, which
yesterday decided as above shown The
city Of Passaic is completing its sewer con-
nections with the river, and only waited
for this decision before letting its sewage
mingle with the water which Jersey City,
as well as Newark, uses. This decision
also makes it possible for Orange to dis
pose of its sewage in the same manner.

MORE TIME ALLOWED.
The Supreme Courts Practical Re-
buke of Cleveland Tactics.
Special to the Jerse b citv Nesus.

TRENTON June II, 1890. The Supreme
Court this afternoon, on application of
Councillors Record and Grouse granted
take his testimony and ordered that the
evidence be taken down by stenograph
er. The application was noticed for ten
a. M, but the Judges were all engaged in
the Court of Errors and Appeals until
half-past three p. m. Then when Messrs
Record and Grouse attempted to be heard
the Court refused to listen to them and
set the hearing on the application down
tor ten O'Clock tomorrow morning.
When ex-senator Edwards was told of
this he succeeded in pursuading judges
Scudder and Van Syckle to dispose of the
motion at once. The judges gave each
side forty minutes in which to present it's
case. Mr.. Record opened by stating that
his side had hoped to finish their case in
the time originally granted, but that the
other side had retarded them by refusing
TO allow the testimony to be taken down
by stenographer. His side wanted an
other week in which to take their testi-
mony, and that they were very lanxious
that the matter should be heara this
term.
Mr. EDWARDS REPLIES.
Mr.. Edwards replied by explaining the
delay caused by the absence OF the stem
ographer. At the beginning both sides
agreed TO a stenographer and Mr.. Light
foot was engaged. Mr.. Llghtfoot said
that he could not come himself but would
send some one In his place. When they
began to take testimony young man
appeared as stenographer whom, after q
day Or two, they discovered to be clerk
in Mr.. Records Office. Then Mr.
Edwards says his side objected
although they would consent to
any official stenographer. The mainsob-
stacle his side had to contend with was
the hearsay evidence which Mr. Perkins
lawyer mad introduced. Mr.. Edwards
then referred to the manner in which the
canvassers had accumulated their evil
dence. Such testimony, he declared, was
incompetent, and merely numbering up
the record with testimony which could
could not be used ON the hearing. He
objected to that line OF examination.
Mr. Grouse said thar that was not the
proper time for arguing that question
