The city VIM she for Its Percentage on

Comptroller Myers of New York is
going to bring suit in few days against
the New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad Company to recover a large
amount which he claims is due on the
Forty-second street West Shore fran
chise.
The city is entitled to s per cent OF the
gross receipts from fares collected on this
ferry to Weehawken, bat it's income from
that source is very slight because the
company has never made returns for pas
sengers carried on railroad tickets who
are In the great majority. as the ferry is
run primarily for their accommodation to
and from the West Shore Railroad.
Comptroller Meyers demanded an ac-
counting of the New York Central Com
pany. which has been denied. as it is
claimed that it receives no revenue on
ferriage OF railroad passengers.
The Comptroller's contention Is chat it
Is entitled to its percentage of three cents
for every passenger carried. and claims
that he will be able to prove this on the
trial OF his suit
The books OF the railroad company will
have to be examined to determine the ex:
act amount due.

In speaking further on the subject OF

allotment in the Legislature
1t Is said here that while Assemblyman
William D. Campbell of Monmouth
county and Assembiyman James P, AL
bright of Morris county. were well liked
in Essex, Bergen is the favorite. He
comes from the same district that once
sent Jacob Kiotzto the Legislature. which
is given as the cause Of little feeling Of

Major Samuel Klotz, who does not think
that Bergen is strong man. But there

HOW THEY ELECT BERGEN IN NEWARK.
IL is also asserted that both Mullone

the delegation from this county is con-
coded here to hold the key TO the Speaker

INDIAN FISHING.
A Good and True Fish Story From the
Land OF the choctaws


A Good and True Fish story From the
Land OF the choctaws.
Fish stories are good in season, and
they are always in season. Up North
they tell some good ones, all OF which
are not true. but hero is ono both good
and true. The Choctaws and all OF the
Indian tribes of the southwest have a
way of catching fish without waiting
for bites. Their last great catch" took
place at Antlcrs, q small town In the
Indian Territory.
The evening before the day set for the
sport forty-fvo or fifty Indian mon went
to the river at its most shallow point
and carried several great logs into the
water, which were laid across the
stream, making strong and high dam,
blocking the river from bank to bank.
A chant or room was then sung to in
sure good luck for the next day and the
company broke up. Early in the fore
noon OF Stlio day following the entire
community proceeded to the river side.
There were seventy or eighty people in
all, including Indians and whites, mon.
women and children, most OF whom
travelled in wagons to the scene OF
action, it being some distance from the
little town. The men all carried bows
and arrows. 'A H.'-f
Arrived at the dam twenty-five or
thirty OF tho mon proceeded to. cut up
the bait This is a strange hard sub
stance called by tho Indians devils
shoestring'' and which had to be cutinto
pieces with axes. This done the devils
shoestring was then thrown on the wa
ter, and tho fish, hundreds OF them
which bad accumulated during the
night, came to tho surface after 1t. It
was not long until It was plain that the
dovil was in II sure enough. 1t was not
long until shoals OF fish came to the sur
face and floated listlessly about on the
water. They appeared to be entirely un-
conscious. The Indians explained THAI
the devils" shoestriDg had made them
drunk, and that 1t was time to begin the
slaughte n r-.ttr4ta
Shooting with bows and arrows began
and for timo the arrows ilewso Trick
that one was reminded Of the scenes OF
pioneer warfare. AS fast as tho fish
wero shot and brought ashore they were
carried to the camp, whore the Indian
women and white women who had.been
invited, cleaned and fried them. About
ono o'clock a grand fish dinner was
spread.
All the afternoon, until nix or sevon
o clock, the sport continued. Sometimes
there \ ould be twenty or thirty Choc-
taws in the wator at once. About 1000
Hsh were caught. -Four or iivo OF these
'frys" occur at Antlers every year :
