CUTLEY'S FINED AT LAST.
A Dollar for Each Day the Pile Of
Bricks Stands in City Hall
Place.

The examination of Contractor Cutley,
who is erecting the new public building
and who is charged with violating the
city ordinance against obstructing streets
by pliing the bricks, etc, from rhe old
police building in Cooper Place, took
ing.
Corporation Counsel Edwards appeared
for the city and Mr.. Cutley was defended
by Thomas f. Noonan
There was long preliminary skirmish
over the regularity Of the summons, but
Mr.. Noonan said that he did not wish to
block the proceedings by technicalities
and waived all objection
Mr.. Noonan then claimed that under
the statute the summons must set forth
the number Of the section of the ordin-
ance claimed to have been violated and
enough of the ordinance to intelllgibly
indicate its provisions, and moved for a
dismissal. The Justice denied his
motion
Captain Farrier testified as to the OBJ
struction and who placed it there.
Clerk Bouton, of the Street and Water
Board, YVES produced to show to whom
the contract was given. On cross exam
ination he said that the city had not as
yet accepted the pavement of Cooper
place.
Mr.. Noonan then claimed that as the
city had not yet accepted the street from
the contractor, it was still in his hands
and practically closed, and as Mr.. Cutley
had obtained the consent of the con-
tractor to pile the bricks there he had
not violated the ordinance.
Mr.. John Cutley, foreman for and faith
er OF the defendant, said that he bad or
dered the bricks piled in the street. He
had tried to obtain vacant lot near by
in which to place them, but could not find
any.
Joseph Cutley, the contractor, said that
he was ordered by the Street Commits
sioner to pile the bricks in the street, and
obtained permit from one Of The mem
bers of the Board for such purpose
Mr.. Edwards, at this point, said that
the Board of Works nor any other Board
had authority to obstruct the sJreets any
more than any private individual and the
sooner that fact became known the better
it will be tor Jersey City.
Justice Stiising adjudged Mr.. Cutley
guilty as charged, and imposed a fine Of
$20--S10 for each complaint and 81 for each
day the obstruction remains.
Mr. Cutley declares that he will take
the matter to the Supreme Court upon
certiOrari.

HE'S FREERuLpER COYLE.


The County Board Puts Him In the Late
Mr. Kenney's Seat.
Excepting Freeholder Donnelly. who is
ill, all the members of the Board were
present at the meeting held yesterday.
The most important business done was
appointing Police Commissioner Michael
b. Coyle, of Hoboken, to fill the vacancy
in the Ninth district, caused by the death
of Freeholder Kenney. Freeholder Nell
son nominated Richaad B. Taft, a Repub-
lican, and claimed that the Board could
not legally appoint Mr.. Coyle because he
was a Democrat and that Kenney was
not, but an Independent.
Mr.. Pfingsten, to prove this, said Ken
pey had not been admitted to the Demo-
cratic caucuses, but Freehol6ier KiInmerly
knocked this theory out by saying hN was
a democrat; and for time when Mr.
Kenney was with the majority he was ex-
Guided from the caucus.
There was considerable argument over
the eiqaestions as to whether the appoint
ment of Mr. Coyle would follow out the
intent OF the law which declared the
vacancy should be filled by a man Of the
same "pOlltical faith" as the predecessor
unanimous democratic vote.
Messrs. Pfingsteu aud Nelson, republi-
cans voted for Taft.
The Board granted number of reQuisi-
tions, amounting to 81, 500, one of which
was for seeds for the County Farm. 1t
also ordered that about $3.50 be paid for
the expenses attached to the contest of
Freeholder Nelson for his seat in the

A HOBOKEN POLICY RAID.
Tho Police Visit Some Shops and Let
Others Severely Alone.

Tho Police Visit Some shops and Let
Others Severely Alone
At recent meeting of the Board Of
Police Commissioners in Hoboken re-
solution was passed directing the Chief
to Immediately close the policy Shops
Chief Donovan ut once started to act.
Several chancenen were sent to the
places in which the law was being vio-
lated TO procure evidence. but the
gamblers were very suspicious, and al
though prior to the meeting of the Com
missioners there was no trouble expert
enced in playing gig, the proDrietors OF
the different shops refused to sell TO the
chancemen and for q while no evidence
could be procured.
About a week ago Chief Donovan
thought of ruse. He consulted with
Richard Barry, a young man who is en-
ployed as engineer in the city, and Barry
agreed to try and procure the necessary
evidence. The gamblers suspicious had
by this time been disarmed and he ex-
perienced no trouble in buying the tickets
which will soon be used as evidence
against the policy dealers.
This morning Barry went before Re-
corder McDonough and entered u COM
plant against the owners and runners of
three of the houses aud Detective Gailag-
her was detailed to make the arrests. The
first place visited was the saloon of Henry
Faber, No. 36 Garden street. Faber was
arrested, as was August Sieman, the bar
tender.
When Gallagher went out a second
time, he came back with Morris Camp
bell and Morris Drewes. Campbell keeps
cigar store at No. 80 Fourth street. and
lives at No. 66 Court House place, Jersey
City Heights. Drewes gave his occupa
ton as clerk, and residence as No. 145
Washington street. The last and most
important arrest was that of Thomas
Muldoon, of No. 112 Newark street. Null
doou, the police say, is the boss dealer.
All the small fry dealers turned their slips
over to him. Muldoon when brought to
the station house asked for an immediate
examination. and when brought before
the Recorder qualified as his own
bondsnan and was released.
The other dealers are held in default of
bail. The police admit that there are
other places in the city, but the evidence
cannot be procured

YOU MUST ASK FOR IT.

Board Property.
The resolution passed by the Fire Boald
Wednesday night, refusing TO release a
der No. for the erection of new police
station, has given rise to some little
speculation as to just what steps the Fire
Board will take to prevent the Street and
Water Board from erecting the proposed
new Fourth precinct station house there.
This property came into possession of the
Fire Board in 1870 when the three cities
OF Hudson, Bergen and Jersey City were
consolidated, and has since been held by
the Fire Department..
Chief Farrier, when spoken to upon the
subject, said he anticiDared no trouble
between the two Boards. The main diff
Guilty was that the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners had not asked
possession of the Fire Board for the
property which was utilized at present by
the Department for stable and horse
bedding purposes. To certain members
of the Board of Street and Water Com
missioners it had been suggested (not
officially, however,) that the difficulty
might be obviated by. alterations or ad-
ditions to the station house, and this pro-
position was favorably looked upon by
the Street and Water Commissioners TO
whom the suggestion was made, but as
yet no official action had been taken in
the matter, although advertisements
have already been inserted in the papers
for proposals for the construction of the
new station house.
From section ia of the law governing
the control of the Fire Department of
the old charter of Jersey City and supple
ment, with which the new charter laws
do not conflict, the following is quoted
as the only light the reporter could Sc
cure upon the subject

THE HALL OF RECORDS.
So far From Paying Fine MIR. Brown
Presents a Bill for Extras.

He had revised the bill of Carpenter Du
Bois for $S17.60 for extra work and had
cut It down to S235 which he recommended
the Freeholders to pay.
Mr.. Boown said in referenceto his claim
for extra work amounting to 5000, that it
was caused by extra excavation ordered
by the Freeholders and the necessary
stones required for a foundation in the
place excavated. The work was done
wholly outside of the specifications in the
contract. Mr. Brown wanted 1t to be
made known also that his contract did
not call for the putting in of heaters but
in spirit of philanthrophy he expended
$1,000 for the purpose. This sum is dead
loss to him he claimed.
AT the meeting of the Freehplders later
in the day it WAS decided to- allow Mr..
Brown S7I0 for the extra work

THE FRAUDS IN THE FIFTH.
Every reader of The JERSEY CITY NEWS
will recall the sensation created, before
the Senate took hold, when Freeholder
First Precinct of the Fifth district being
opened. that he might prove that he. and
not Pairson, was entitled to a
seat in the Board The fraud in
that box ousted Pairson and put
Nelson. by order of Judge Knapp, in pos
session of the seat. The election officers
under whose eyes those frauds were per-
petrated were Thomas German, acting as
Judge of Election; John f. Welsh, who
acted as Poll Clerk, and Michael Fallon
and Noisy Bill" Taylor, who were In
spectors.
OF these, Mr.. Welsh has job as fore
man under Mayor Cleveland's Street and
Water Board, and it was Bill Taylor, it
may be added, whom the Journal inter-
viewed, when it alleged, and tried to
prove a few months ago that last falls
election was perfect sample of official
purity
1t is undeniable that some of these gen.
tlemen were given shelter in the Boards
before the last election. That does not
affect the question of responsibility. Some
indeed may think that the fact that these
men went from their public places to
commit the frauds connects the Mayors
paternal government are the more closely
with them.
Well, perhaps that's enough for one
day. 1t may not be wise to make the dose
nauseating by giving too much of it at
one sitting. The record Is not. however,
as complete by any means as THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS proposes to make it.

PATSY In THE CHAIR.


While Hoboken's Council Talk About
McMahon's Hondsmen.
The Hoboken Council met as a COM
mittee of the Whole last night to take
action on the veto of the Mayor of the
compromise accepting $l0,200 from the
bondsmen of the late Collector of Re
venue, John Mcmahon.
The Mayor stated in his veto that he
thought the sum inadequate, inasmuch
as the city had judgments against the
bondsmen. and he thought if the Cor
poration Attorney executed on the Judg-
;2ents more money could be realized.
After considerable discussion it was
decided that the Committee of the Whole
report in favor of accepting $11 600 an in
crease of $500, on the part of the bonds
men. The sum is divided as follows:-
Bryan Smith, IS, 300; A. Kaufman, &, COO;
Isaac Ingieson, 81 900; Charles Nurein,
$500; Edward Stack $500; M. McDermott,
500, and John Logan. 1000.
It was also agreed that the bondsmen
pay the costs of court 1t is probable
that this arrangement will meet with the
approval of the Mayor.
Before adieurning the Board was
turned into regular bear garden by the
antics of Chairman Londrigan, who re-
refused to entertain any motion or Tecog-
nize any rules. The lobby was convulsed
with laughter.
