Roof with Her.
An interesting story was told by a
young girl of seventeen years named
Annie Keerney. daughter of Daniel
Kearney. of No 1S1 Cole street, in Justice
Stilsing's Court this morning. The girl,
who but for a dull look OF apathy would
be decidedly pretty, has been found on
several occasions prowling the streets at
late hours. Policeman Cannon has taken
her to her home on several occasions.
This morning he brought her into court
to have the Judge dispose of her case
The girl said her father had driven her
from home time and again. Her mother
is in the Snake Hill Asylum for the
insane.
Miss Mary Ryan, whom the readers of
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS will remember
as the heroine of the Hamilton Park epi-
sode, VINO so gallantly resisted the at
tempt of a bum to steal her pet dog some
weeks ago, is a niece of the girls father,
and lives under the same roof. The two
girls are on unfriendly terms. Annie de-
clares Miss Ryan is responsible for her
fathers cruelty toward her
II cannot tell you all about that girl, =
said Miss Ryan to a JERSEY CITY NEWS
reporter in court this morning. .sBut one
thing is certain, will not stay under the
same roof with her.

THE HEIRS WERE SMART.
How the Hooleys Avoided an In
junction IN a Will.

The sale of the Hooley property, at the
corner Of Fourth street and Jersey ave-
nue., for taxes and adjusted liens. among
other properties sold under the provisions
of the Martin act, last Wednesday, caused
considerable amount of speculation.
The adjusted lien footed up 81 ,537. IS.
The property was bid in by the heirs of
the Hooley estate, Messrs. A. G. and E. S.
Hooley, but not until several wide awake
bidders had pushed the figures up to
IS, 600.
Last night William Day, as trustee of
the estate, petioned the Board of Finance
for return of the 81, ,062. 49, that amount
being the difference between the amount
of adjusted lien. and the amount paid at
the sale for the property. to which the
heirs are entitled under the provisions Of
the Martin act.
The property rembraces the four story
brick buiiding with English basement
and afifty by one hundred feet lot ad join
ing. The vacant lot is Immediately on
the corner and is especially desirable for
building purposes.
The house was recently the home Of the
late Dr. Mcdowell. Just why this piece
of property should he sold for taxes re-
mained mystery to many
1t now transpires that the heirs volun-
tiTiiy allowed the taxes and adjusted
liens to accumulate till the propertyshould
pe sold, that they might buy it in, and
thus get around a provision in the will
devising the property, forbidding the
erection Of building on the corner

Street Row.

AS predicted in THE JERSEY CRY NEWS
last night the meeting of the Republican
City Committee of Hoboken was red hot.
The Committee met at their rooms on
Washington street. The delegates were
on the alert for the protest expected from
Judge John w. Moots of the Fourth ward

Wagner met on the sidewalk Moots is
desirous Of becoming financial secretary,
which position is filled by Wagner
Words passed between them, and Wag-
ner grew hot
i don't make my money by politics,
the same as you do,u he said.
Moots retOrted by insinuating that
Wagner m1sappropriated some of the
money belonging to the committee,
whereupon Wagner shot out with his
right and caught Moors square on the
jaw, raising an elegant lump. He then
knocked him down, and Moots would
have Jared badly had it not been for some
friends who separated them.
Moots called OH Officer Hanrahan, who
was present, to arrest Wagner, and both
the victor aud the vanquished repaired to
the station house followed by tremenu-
Gus crowd. Moots was elegantly dome
up.n
Wagner was locked up, but was nber-

And an Account of SI69 In 1868 Be-
comes $3.50 in 1890.
Frederick Meyer, the owner of the
property at the corner Of Newark and
Grand streets, in Hoboken, is possibly in
a nice predicament owing to the search
of lawyer. Mr.. Meyer bought the
property several years ago and clear title
given. Looking over a newspaper the
other day Mr. Meyer noticed that
mis- property was in arrears for taxes to
the amount of Sl92. 50 since 1865. He went
to the City Clerks Office and found the
erty, but the books of 1868 from which
abe search was made by the lawyer have
not yet been examined and the amount
might have been paid. If it has not the
taxes with interest 10 date is $3.50, which
somebody will have to pay.
