AN ICE FAMINE.

That is What the Companies Predict to
Warrant their Raise in Prices.
Many OF the good housewives of this
city were almost paralyzed this morning
when their iceman informed them that,
ice was becoming very scarce and that
they would have to pay..a cent pound for
that necessity now. 1t was also intimated
that they need not be surprised if the
priceSwent still higher. The reason given
for the scarcity was that the excessive
heat was rapidly diminishing the already
small supply.
Some of the local icemen were unable
to obtain more than half their usual
quantity. and Frank Leonard, OF Bram-
hall avenue, had to go to Newark to get
his load this morning.
Samnel III. McBurney, of the Hudson
River Ice Company, said this morning
that large consumers were now obliged
to pay seventy cents hundred. He also
said that if the demand continued to
grow his company would not have
enough on hand to supply it, and they
would have to look to other sources for
their supply.
He was anxious to inform me that the
ice men were making no money this year
and that the companies in this section are
losing money.
The jump in the price of ice has affect
ed the undertakers. This morning they
were refused ice at any price at the Nor
ris street dock and are compelled to pur-
chase direct OF the local dealers. Increase
in burial expenses will naturally follow.

PASSAlC WATER.

Inspector Leake Shows 1t to Be Horris
bly, DefiIed with Sewage.
Clerk Bouton notified the Street and
Water Board at yesterdays meeting that
Inspector Leake had presented his report
on the condition of the Passaic water.
The report was filed without reading.
In it Mr.. Leake says he found the
water very foul during June
condition that should the germs Of
cholera and typhoid enter through
the Newark sewage they would have
plenty to feed upon. He had inyestigat-
ed a number of complaints. At Crump's
label manufactory at Montclair he In
was there tinctured with arsenic.
He was informed that the use of arsenic
had been entirely done away with for
several years AT Rittenhouse's woollen
mills ne found much coal tar ran into tho
river. The Gproprietors will build
this nuisance. At the Botany
woolen mills, which have been recently
removed from Germany and now are To-
Gated at Dundee, all the mill refuse in adj
dition to that of 5000 employees, entered
the river direct The proprietors claim
Paterson, but will build vaults for closer
refuse.
AT the Dundee dam the Inspector found
two feet of solid filth, the catch from the
Paterson sewers. He complains bitterly
against the city of Newark for allowing
the river to remain low and the sewage
to back up to the intake with The
most serious results. The Common Coun-
ell of Orange will discuss the sewage
question at its meeting tonight The
Second River empties into the Passaic at
Belleville. near our intake All the dyes
and other refuse enters the river from
the hat factories of Bloomfield.
Clerk Bouton also notified the Board
that Contractor Condor refused to ac-
cept certificates for work performed on
the Second street sewer bearing interest
of but four and one-half per cent, the
amount fixed by the Board of Finance.
The law, he claims, allows him SIX per
cent.

ASSAULT ALL AROUND.
Both Sides Held in the Petroni-
Sherry Carving Match.

Antoine Petroni, his mother and sister
Mary were arraigned this morning be-
fore Justice Stilsing, charged with afro
ciously assaulting Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Sherry. of No. 54s Grove street. on Friday
afternoon. The story of the assault was
told in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS Of Satur-
day.
The two families live in a tenement
According to Mrs. Sherry's testimony the
trouble originated from complaint made
by her to the landlord to the effect that
she found tho girl Mary in her woodshed
with the door lock broken off. It is sup
posed that the landlord gave the Italian
family notice to quit the premises. At
any rate she declared that she had done
nothing else to provoke the assault.
The next morning after making the
complaint she was attacked by the
Italian woman and her daughter. She
ran into a shed and was pursued and
dragged out by the hair. Mr.. Sherry ran
to her assistance, and as though he had
been suddenly surprised by brigands he
found himself surrounded by the entire
Petroni family, two of the Petroni brothers
and journeyman barber. They welded
axes and razors and base ball bats in a
manner that suggested murder.
Sherry. whose whose wounds had so far
improved as to admit of his leaving the
hospital to testify in the case, said that
he was first struck on the head with an
axe. The blow was dealt by the older
brother who made his escape He h ad
scarcely recovered from this blow W he
the journeyman barber struck him on
the back of the head with base ball bat,
and the younger brother Antoine struck
him on top of the head with heavy
piece of iron.
Mrs. Sherry had tainted through fright
and the effects of her beating. She had
had desperate scuffie with one of the
BARRIERS, who cut her fingers with
razor.
During the fight it appears that the axe
blade became loose and few off the handle
just as one of the Italians was about to
deal a murderous blow It struck the
girl Mary, inficting dangerous wound.
This evidence was corroborated by " e.
Swensen, of Brooklyn, who Witnessed
the fight. Yet when Mrs. Sherry had
warrants issued for the arrest of Mrs. Pc
troni and her daughter Mary, the young
girl retaliated by having warrants issued
for the arrest of Mrs. Sherry, charging
her with atrocious assault and battery.
She claims she was struck with club.
The three Italians were committed for
trial. Sherry and his wife were held to
answer the counter charges.

President Voorhees, Says the Financiers
Will be Held Responsible for Them
The article in The JERSEY CITY News
on Saturday which exposed the fraud in
the fake budget, which has been pre-
pared by the Board of Finance for the
purpose of deceiving the taxpayers of
Jersey City, was universally commended
yesterday Every one, unless connected
directly or indirectly with tho Ring,
praised the course of THE NEWS in expos
ing the hypocrisy and Misrepresentation
of His Fraudulency's administration, and
had much to say of the independent and, !,
to the taxpayers, beneficial stand which
The News has taken sagainst the
official iugglery which threatens to bank
rupt the city,.
Education, was shown the article which
told how the financiers had stricken out
of his Boards appropriation the item for
repairs. He started to read it with
smile, but before he had finished his
smile had given place to a serious look.
"Well." he said when he had finished,
''all can say about the matter is that we
received certified copy of the resolution
of the Board Of Finance appropriating
SIS 900 for repairs to the schools and on the
strength of that ordered the work done.
We have done all we had to do in the mat
ter, ana we Snatl look 60 un0 Board OF FL
nance to pay the bills. 1t is no business
of ours how they pay them, but we GER
tainly expect the Finance Commissioners
to pay for the repairs when they are COM
pleted'
next saw one of the gentlemen who is
engaged in making portion of the re-
pairs ordered by the Board of Education
on the strength of the Financers' resolu-
tion, and showing him the article asked
him what he thought his chances were of
receiving his money He also was inn
pressed with the seriousness of the situa-
tion, but said that as there seemed to be
some doubt whether he received his
money he thought that the best thing
that he could do was to say nothing lest
that doubt become certainty.
President .Edestein, of the Board of
Finance, when spoken to about the mat
ter, courteously begged to be excused
from expressing any opinion on the sub
ject. He said that the figures in the
budget were fixed by the Board, upon in
formation which each member had every
reason to believe was correct. He reiter-
ated his statement that in making up the
budget the Board had no other end in
view than the welfare of the taxpayers.

One of the Results of the
the Census Just
Completed.
WHO SHALL MAKE THE SHUTTLE?
The Next Legislature Will Have a
Big Political Oppor-
tunitY,
And the Party Which Controls Both
Houses May Hold the State
for Years.

Under the State Constitution, the decen-
NAL enumeration Of the people by the
Federal government is to be followed by
a reapportionment Of the AssembIymen
among the counties of the State. The
constitution limits the Assemblymen to
sixty members, and the only effect of
reapportionmentis is to steal members from
some counties and give them to others
A reapportionment is attended, of course,
by redistricting of the State in whole or
in part. Changes in the district lines will
be necessary, OF course, in those counties
that lose or gain in the reapportionment
The privilege of reapporting the As
semblymen and cutting out their districts
for them is big political advantage to
the party to whose lot it falls, and the
effort to secure it will lend additional in
terest and yigor to the contest this fall
between the two parties for the control of
the Legislature. For the next legislature
will be required to act on the subject. If
both branches should be Democratic, the
Democracy would be blind if it failed to
make good use of its opportunity. If it
should be Republican in both branches,
the State will be done up in Republican
hold on legislation for years to come. A
Republican Serate and Democratic
House would probably end the session in
dead lock over the new district lines.
The Republicans managed to secure the
reapDortionment job both in 1871 and 1881.
The constituencies skill with which they
did it enabled them to keep control of
this Democratic commonwealth for years
afterwards. 1t was in the reapportion-
ment OF 1871 that the notorious Horse
shoe district in this county was devised.
The population of the State by the cen
sus of 1880 was, in round numbers, l, $780,
000. This divided by sixty allows q
member to each $4,000 people The old
time legislative manuals fail to state what
the population in each of the districts
created by the Republican Legislature of
1881 was, but that there was no attempt
made to make an equal division of AS
semblymen among the voters is shown by
the fact that, while the average vote
polled IN most of the Republican districts
OF the State was about three thousand,
six thousand voters were maSsed in one
Democratic district-the Second-in Mon
mouth.
The new census places the total popu-
1atiou OF the State at about 100000. That
divided by sixty will give one Assembly
man to about "a, 600 Inhabitants The
allow to each county as many mem bers
as "a, 600 will go times into its population.
When this process in simple division
shall have been completed fifty of the
sixty ASsemblymen will have been APP
portioned 10 the counties.
A TABLE.
This table shows the result of the ap-
plication OF this rule TO each county and
the unrepresented remainder of popula-
