Our active and widespreading mayor has made an attempt to revive the water ques- ton. It will be hard work. The people had chance to express their minds con- corning it once, and they settled it to the entire satisfaction of most of the citizens. The Water company is doing it's work well, and there is no general desire to add to the bonded debt of the city, which is already quite large enough. Socialism which leads to more taxes is not very attractive to an overtaxed community.

Sir Edwin Arnold saw the emperor of Japan at the opening of parliament, where he presented very interesting figure. He is tall in comparison with the majority of his subjects and has strongly marked fea- lures. His eyes are dark and wstchful, and he has aslight beard and mustache. His manners are at once gracious and imper- turbably reserved. The Mikado was dressed in the uniform of an army gen. eral and wore the broad red ribbon of the Order of the Rising Sun.

Queer Illustration of Glass Prejudice in
Hayonne.
A novel manifestation of class preju-
dice was developed at the meeting of the
Bayonne Board of Education last night.
Residents of every ward in the city
petitioned for permission to send their
children to some special school and all the
requests were referred to the Committee
on Schools.
Trustee Hickey moved to reconsider the
vote by which the Board adopted ut its
last special meeting a report from the
School Committee giving permission to
family of the Fourth ward to send their
children to the First ward school. He
said that so far as he could learn the
reason for the request was that the
parents who presented the petition OBJ
iected to having their children attend the
Same school with the poorer children of
the ward He considered that School
No. was In every respect the equal Of
School No. and was averse to having
any distinction between the children
raised through the granting OF such
petitions
A long discussion followed, and finally
the motion was voted down. as follows:-
Yeas-Trustees Kane, FluGel, Humph-
reys, Hickey, Mcbride and Staunton-6.
Nays-rrustees Wheeler. Griswold. Rob

R0OKERIES BURNED.

not return until this morning to see his
stock in ruins. He estimated his loss at
$4,000.
Alarms Nos and II were pulled at

were delayed many minutes.

weeks ago called attention to the
tinder-like aspect Of these buildings.
Yet Notwithstanding the combustible
character of the old rookeries the firemen
say after they had thrown water on the
buildings they fixed and spluttered like
so much punk.

entire city lot 1t ran back 100 feet and
was 25 feet wide. To this was small side

SAM STILSING DEAD.
Peaceful End of an Act
i've and Vigorous
Career.
PNEUMONIA WAS THE CAUSE.
His Demise Will Be Regretted
by All Who Knew Him
Sketch Of His
Life.
PNEUMONIA WAS 1.-THE CAUSE.

Ex-Police Justice Samuel Stilsing died
at his home. No. 202 Third street, at five
minutes past twelve today from pneu-
monia He was forty-seven years
old lie had been suffering with
pneumonia for two weeks but did
not take to his bed until Sat
urday last. He made a strong fight
but having suffered for fifteen years with
asthma, was much weakened. The end,
which had been expected last night,
came quietly and he passed away with
hardly movement of the face.
There were present at his bedside MS
sisters, Mrs. Jackman, Mrs. Kolb and
Mrs Van Gaspet, and his aunt, Mrs. Por-
rett. The date of the funeral has not yet
been arranged, but the services will take
place at St. Paul's Church, where the
deceased was an attendant. Ihe inter-
ment will be at Greenwood.
BORN IN THIS CITY.
Samuel w. Stilsing was born in this
city of Anglo-German parentage October
s, 1S43. He went to old No. school, and
was brought up with the generation now
at the helm III Jersey City. He was always
an active Republican, and after rendering
many services to mis- party. was elected
Fire Commissioner, and after made presi-
dent of the Board. He was member OF
the Lincoln Club at its inception, and
also a member Of the Pavonia Club, now
dead, but at one time
powerful social organization. His SER
vices as Fire Commissioner won him the
esteem of his Republican constituents,
and he was sent to the Board of Free
holders to represent the Third district.
He was reelected Freeholder, and his
next office was that of Assembyman, to
whcn he was elected in 1875 being re-
elected in 1879
POLICE JUSTICE.
In 1880 he was elected Police Justice for
the First DISTRICT, and it was in that
capacity that he became more thoroughly
public character, and by his benevolent
and just administration of the law to
the lesser unfortunates who find
it the court of first and
last resort he won the esteem
and admiration of all who knew his SER
vices. He gave werning and counsel to
these who were taking the first
steps in the wrong direction and
through his labors in this direction
were not fully known they were wide
reaching in their effect. This office he
held almost uninterruptedly until last
April, when he was succeeded by Justice
O'Donnell.
There was dispute between him and
James N. Davis at one time ana Davis
sat awhile rs the rigbtfullv appointed
Justice, but the matter was taken before
the courts and Mr.. Stilsing was finally
victorious and obtained the position.
He had been president of the Garfield
Association, and was member of the
Union League Club and the Exempt Fire
mems Association when he died. He
always lived in the Third District, bui
was well known throughout the city. He
was unmarried and had lived during the
latter part of his life with his widowed
sister, Mrs. Jackman.

Jersey City. Newark and Waverly Too
Much For 1t.
Special to the jersey City Neics.
TRENTON, Sept. 8, 1891.-Chancelior Van
Fleet yesterday filed an opinion in the
suit of the Jersey City. Newark g. Wav-
erly Railroad Company against the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey. The COM
plaInant company asks for an injunction
to restrain the Central from preventing
it from crossing the CentraPs tracks in
the Newark meadows. fhe Central adj
mits the other company's right to cross,
but denies that it may cross lat grade.
The complainant in condemnation pro-
ceedings paid into court the sum of $780,
472 33 for the right of way, and If the
money is not accepted by the Central,
which has up to date refused the tender,
the Court says it will grant the restrain-
ing order asked for.
In his opinion the Vice Chancellor says
that where railroad corporation, formed
under the general railroad law of New
Jersey, lays out its route so that its limo
crosses the route of another railroad. the
law gives it the right to decide for itself
whether 1t will cross such other road at
rade or otherwise. its right to cross at
grade is subject to but two limitations
first, it shall not cross at "a less angle
than 20 degrees, and second, it shall not
cross IN such 4 manner as will destroy
the reasonably fair enjoyment or the
franchise of the road whose route is
crossad

peared as mysteriously this morning at

lice station.
There sne was identified. She could
give no account of herself or her past adj
ventures, aud her relatives, who came to
the police station, could not elicit the
slightest information as TO where she had
been. The fact of her absence for a
month without any means of support is
puzzling the police.
