PAIRSON Steps down.
Surrendering His Seat in
the Freeholders to
Mr.. Nelson.
COMMISSIONER NU6ENT's REPORT
The End of the Freeholders' Suit in
the Fifth District.

The contest between Freeholder Will
lam Pairson and William G.. Nelson, his
Republican competitor. for a seat in the
Board, is at an end. This morning Su-
preme Court Commissioner John A. Nu-
gent, appointed to supervise the re-
count of the ballots cast at the
late election, submitted his report to
Judge Knapp. 1t is very lengthy
one, and practically presents the
features of the recount as reported in the
JERSEY Cry NEWS while the count was
in progress. 1t declared William G. Nell
son entitled to the seat.
When the report had been read ex-
Judge Garretson, who appeared for Mr..
Pairson, said that Mr. Pairson was ready
TO accept the decision of the Commits
sioner, and that the question as to the
Jurisdiction of the Circuit Court in the
case would not be further disputed.
Mr. Parsons friends say that if he had
decided to continue the contest he would
have been forced to have given
an indemnity bond to MI. Nelson,
conditioned for the payment of the salary
of the Office, and that he was not prepared
to pay the expenses of TN appeal, with an
uncertain result. So he gives up his seat
in the Board to Mr. Nelson.
In his report Mr Nugent says Inat
there was no statement at the end of the
poll list of the number of ballots cast.
The names of the election officers were
signed. The number opposite the last
name signed was 246. Written on the
list by correct account are 226 names.
Twenty-one numbers are skipped and
one duplicated. The difference. twenty.
accounts for the difference between the
number ef names actually written, 226,
and the last name numbered, 246. On
the tally 240 marks are given Pairson, 10
for Nelson and scattering; making 1853
in all
There being actually but 226 names on
the poll list, that number of the first bal
lots counted was called off with this re-
sult:-Pairson, 1888; Nelson, 33 scattering
and scratched, 5.
In the Second precinct box of all the bal
lots Pairson received 1852 and Nelson 2l7;
there were nine scattering.

These payrol1s have been copied as they
appear upon the official record of them at
the City Hall. 1t may be proper, too, to
explain that in the payrolls the Water
Department account and the Registrar
account are doubtless the same and con-
vertible, which explains why one appears
in the payroll of one month and not in
that of the other, and the carpenter at
Belleville item in the October payroll Is
probably included in the BelleyiIle and
High Service accounts which appear in
the March and April payrolls.
POINTERS FOR ENGINEERS.
1t may assist the comparison to know
that the November payroll. which seems
to be normal one under the new regimes
shows the expenditure of 5000 for reas-
sessing; S6975 for repairing gates:
50, 1875 so for repairing pipes, ETC.; 81, ,S24. 81
for laying pipes; S336 for repairs over
pipes; $S9S. 33 for foremen, etc; S2,0S4.98
for Registrars office s., ,627.9 .92 for Belle-
vile and High Service; 1857. so for labor
on meters, and $40 for repairs to MAINS
The casual suggestion of the table IS
that the accounts that admit of extra SER
vice are those which are Che most notable.
Pipe laying, repairs to hydrants, repairs
to gates, repairs over the pipes, the gang
employed for casual service at the Water
Works, are all accounts the size of which
depends upon the quantity of work to be
done under them.
1t is common rumor around the Board
of Works office, too, that the October ac-
count is not yet paid, but that for
fear of criticism part of it is being held
back, or being put through the Board In
the form of series of separate claims.

RAILROAD AND SHIPPERS AT WAR,

An Interesting Suit Between the Erie
Railroad and Fowler Brothers.
Mr.. Courtland Parker applied to the
Chancellor this morning on behalf of the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Rail
road for an injunction to restrain Fowler
Bros, the Chicago packers, from using a
warehouse at Weehawken for other than
certain purposes set forth in the bill.
Several years ago the Erie Railway
and the Fowler Bros. entered into
a contract by which the Fowl
ers were to erect warehouse on land
owned by the railroad at Weehawken and
snip their meats over the Erie road alone.
IN 1857 the contract terminated, and tne
Erie Company pald the Fowler Brothers
$1l3,7 ,78l, the cost of the building, and ac-
quired the title. A new contract was
then entered into, which was to continue
to March, 1892.
Soon after this the railway company,
according to the bill filed, disconnected
the warehouse with the main tracks, cut
off the water from 1t and blockaded the
approach to the bulkhead SO that the
Fowlers' vessels could not approach the
bulkhead.
The Fowlers then. through ex-Chancel-
lor Williamson, applied to the Chancellor
for q mandatory injunction to compel the
Erie Company to fulflll the terms of its
contract.
The injunction was finally granted and
the railroad company appealed to the
Court of Errors and Appeals, where the
matter now is.
In answering the bill Mr.. Parker filed a
cross bill for the Erie company, setting up
that the Fowler Brothers were violating
their part of the agreement by giving a
part of their business to other roads, and
praying for an injunction restraining the
Fowlers from so doing.
The cross bill also prayed that re-
ceiver be appointed to receive from the
Fowlers the money which the company
claims as rent, to be held subject to the
event of the suit.
The Chancellor referred the entire mat
ter to the Vice Chancellor, Van Fleet.

AT the High School, in the first class
an interesting debate was had OH the
subject, lis the Mind of Woman In
ferior to That of Mang' Andrew NJ.
Bush, Jr., and Harry Macoinber took
the affirmative side of the question
and Miss Julia Hunt and Miss Edna
Tobey the negative side. The girls
argued that the most temperance
work is being done by women. The
boys replied that all the greatest tenn
perance lecturers were men. To this
the girls retorted that it was
easier to talk than to work. The
boys remarked that the average
weight of mans brain was greater
than that of woman's. "A fools brain
weighs more than wise man's,n was
the answer OF the girls. But we said
the average weight, replied the boys.
A girl said:--''I think quality should
be considered rather than quantity. y
The clincher came when one of the
boys arose and said:-s'As I under
stand it, God is q man, and if the
mind of woman is superior to man
God would have been a woman. At
this climax q vote was taken and fav-
ored the affirmative side.--Neac Bed
