The Old Road Open.
The free bridge over the Hackensack
River, at the foot of West Newark ave-
nue., was opened yesterday, as THE NEWS
exclusively reported it would be, and al
though few bolts were needed to COM
plete the worK OF the draw, it was for
mally turned over to Superintendent
James CLARK. and about halt-past four in
the afternoon the first passengers who
have crossed the bridge since November
8. nassed over the river.
Yesterday it was necessary to place In
position thirty-six foot beam clear
across the draw, but so confident were
the men that they could get it in position
in time that The NEWS was assured there
would be no error. There was none. A
sixteen foot steel pin had previously been
fixed in It's place TO brace up much OF the
weight of the trucks upon which the draw
runs. and the only heavy piece of work
was the placing of the tlual beam.
All was completed i'll time. but the
storm yesterday afternoon prevented the
driving OF some cliuchlng bolts, and those
were not put in until late last evening

ISSUES FOR 1892.

From Governor Hits Great Speech at Einsird.
In 1890, two years later, new issues
had been raised by the revolutionary
procedures and acts of the Republican
party, then for the first time in many
years controlling every branch of the
Federal Government. What were
those new issues? | will name them:
1. An annual $1OO, 900, 900 surplus
squandered and an approaching de-
felt now at hand
2. Extravaganza in our annual
budget, at last so far enhanced as to
replace upon the peoples industry
more than all the burden of one whole
generations toilsome payment of
funded war debt.
8. The attempted Force Bill.
4. The Speakers lawless partisan
ship to increase the House majority,
ejecting elected representatives (now
reelected) and packing of the Senate
with six new members, some elected,
some not. and two pairs of them rep
resenting fewer citizens than their
census left uncounted in the city of
New York-all this in order to hoist
the Republican Senate majority and
their tariff acts beyond the reach of
popular reversal for years.
8. The two Mckinley acts initial

THAT SALOON MORTGAGE.
Lawyers Say Judge DAILY was
Right in His Action.

The usually quiet scenes which prevail
in the First District Court when Justice
Puster is on the bench, were somewhat
changed when the suit of Daniel J. Kear-
ney against John Muller and Henry
Mahnken for 5000 damages, was heard by
Judge DAILY. The case was tried once be-
fore in the FIRST District Court. A jury
found verdict for S152 for the plsintiff.
Judge Daily at that time intimated that
the suit brought by the plaintiff was
without foundation, and the verdict was
set aside and new trial granted.
The final trial was held Wednesday
afternoon and Judge DAILY, without per-
mitting the Jurymen to go out. directed
them to bring in verdict for the defend
ants. The foreman and six other jury
men said that thev believed that a verdict
should be given for the plaintiff. Judge
DAILY rose in his might and in cool and
easy but pleasant manner busted the
court room with the recalcitrant jury
men. But he had scarcely knocked them
out when Counsellor j. j. Fury, for the
plaintiff, jected to the action of the
Court, and claimed the verdict should be
accepted. Judge Daily raped for order
and peremDtorily convinced Counsellor
Fury that Daily. not Fury. was on the
bench.
Fury would not Keep quiet, however.
and Counsellor Norman l.. Rowe. for the
defendants, asked Fury not to make a
martyr of himself as by his actions he
was subjecting himself to punishment
for contemrt.
But Fury's fury knew no bounds and
he was launching into a spread eagle
speech when he was again ordered to
keep quiet or fine would be Inflicted
upon him. Such war of words rs fol-
lowed was never heard before In the First
District Court and the matter is being
widely discussed by members of the bar.
Daniel Kearney purchased from John
F. Muller saloon and fixtures at New
ark avenue aud Third street, for $500. He
paid $400 in cash and gave chattel mort
gage for $500, secured by the fixtures.
Muller turned the mortgage over to the
knickerbocker Brewing Company. When
it became due Kearney did not pay IL and
Henry Mabuken. acting for the brewing
company, foreclosed. Kearney, in his
complaint, alleged that Mahnken and
Muller conspired to beat him out OF his
money. When the case was first heard
Kearney was awarded $l52 The verdict
was set aside and new trial ordered.
Judge Daily bases his actious upon the
fact that the mortgage WAS overdue when
Mahnkeu foraclosed. In view of the evil
dence offered rs to this fact, Judge DAILY,
without permitting Fury to sum up mis-
case. ordered a verdict for the defend
ants.
Lawyers say that Counsellor Fury's
claim, that the proceedings were irregu
lar. is knocked In the head, and that
Judge DAILY had the right and power tt
take the stand he did.
