DAVIS DECLARES WAR.
lie Is Against Albeit for Senator
and for KimmerIy for Sheriff.

Robert Davis created somewhat of
sensation last night at the meeting OF the
old p. H. O'Neill Association by declar-
ing himself out for Justice Kimmerly, for
Sheriff and against Leader Mclaughlin
in Governor Abbstt's Senatorial fight
1t was Davis's first appearance at a
meeting of the association bearing his
name. Davis was called upon for
speech. and, not knowing what else to
say, made little play for Justice Kim
merly for Sheriff in order to get slap at
County Clerk Mclaughlin. His remarks
were not very pleasing to the members
of the club who knew that if Davis en-
deavors to interfere with County Clerk
McLaughlin's plans in the coming Sena-
torial fight a rupture will be created
that will throw the old Davis followers
upon the mercy of LIE ader Mclaughlin.
Justice Kimmerly," said Davis. s'is
member of Our association. He has told
me that he is a candidate for Sheriff, and
also that he will not pull out of the race
until the nomination is made. He is
against stanton. and II is highly probable
thai there will be a contest in the Con-
vention next Fall There has been
much talk of Il quarrel between
myself and County Clerk McLaughlin.
There is but little truth IN the story,
County Clerk Mclaughlin and myself
are not pulling together on the United
States Senatorial fight. but that matter
will be amicabiy adjusted before another
election comes on. Tbs County CLERK

CORA'S MODERATION.
She Will Play a Week for
Miner for $3.50.

NEW YORK. Dec. 90. 1S92.-Mrs. Cora
Urquhart Potter. now playing Therese"
ar the Union Square Theatre. was exam
ined in supplementary proceedings In the
General Term room of the Supreme
Court this morning.
The action grew out of the fact that
Mrs. Potter bad failed to satisfy judg-
ment for 81, 70, secured against her by
Il. Clay Miner. tue theatrical manager.
He had loaned Mrs. Potter the money,
and on July IL. 1890. secured judgment
for the sum, with interest, the whole
amounting to abon5 $3. 500.
Abe Hummel appeared for Mr. Miner,
while Major and Congressman Bartlett,
with ex-Judge Ditteuho fer. looked after
the interests Of Mrs. Potter. Before
the proceedings were begun there was
much talking by the counsel on both
sides. They INDUCED in mary earnest
conversations. Much of the talk was to
determine where the proceedings should
be held. After that had been settled, all
concerned appeared before Justice
Lawrence, in Supreme Court Chambers,
where Mrs. Potter was sworn. Then they
went to the General Term room.
Mrs. Potter came down to the Court
House in a cab. which is rather unusual
for one Who is to be examined in supple
nentary proceedings. She was attired
Z III q 4dAdSOL46 buu S6dtShlu n,
trimmed with fur of a, lighter color. A
Jaunty black hat was perched upon her
head, and her face was protected by
veil studded with gold spots,
From whab the lawyers said, it was
learned that Mr.. Miner had expended
the original amount in bringing Mrs,
Potter before the public. She had, she
said, offered her services to Mr.. Miner in
order to play out the Judgment. She
considered her services very valuable. but
for all that Mr.. Miner could not be in
duced to accept the proposition.
There was more delay when Mrs. Potter
and the lawyers got comfortably settled
in the court room and all ready to pro-
cesd. Mrs. Potter and Major Bartlett
drew Off to one side and consulted.
A young man who accompanied
her also joined in. While that was
going on the court room began to fill up.
Mrs. Potter's counsel, after he had
talked with her awhile went over to the
others and then there was more conver-
sation among them. So there was be-
tween Mrs. Potter and the young man.
It was evident she did not care to have
the proceedings go on. The offer of ner
services was again made to satisfy the
Judgment.
Flnally Mrs. Potter made another prop
osition. IL was to furnish the services of
her company and herself at the Peoples
Theatre, on the Bowery, to settle the
judgment The other offer. which Mr..
Miner declined to accept. was to play for
week at the Fifth Ayenne Theatrs
Mrs. Potter said she Would give MIR.
Miner the first week in May. Her con-
tract with MIR. Stetson expires May /.
All she wants, if Mr.. Miner accepts the
offer, is Sl50 for her hotel bill for one
week ana $50 for carriages.

lector Dugan's Report.

The accounts of County Collector Du.
gan have been inspected by the Fina nee
Committee of the Board of Freeho lders.
and last night the Board pronounced
them to be correct. The report showed
these figures:--Total amount expended,
$1,69e,6 81; receipts, s1.673.3 bal
ance from previous years, S196. 6.513- A;
total amount passing the Collectors

the close of the fiscal year, November 80,
1892. SIG, ,295.31.
The report of the condition of the Sink
ing Fund appears to contain an error. 1t
reads as follows:-
'.The Commissioners Of the Sinking Funds Of
the County of Hudson have the honor to submit
the following report of the receipts and dis
bursements of the several Sinking Funds for the
present year ending November 80, 1892. The
cash balance on hand on Dec. 1. 1891, was SS65.09
The aggregate receipts for the year were S141,-

same period amounted to s139, ,Sl5 81, leaving a
cash balance on hand at the close of the year of

THRIFTY NORTH BERGEN.
The counsel to the Board reported that
the town of North Bergen had begun suit
against the county to recover money it
claims to be entitled to for election ex-
penses incurred last year. Judge Nc
Grath said the town had paid the claims
of the election officers and by virtue of
holding their certificates broughJ suit.
AS the counsel put it, it was the first time
he had ever known town to act as a
broker. The counsel was directed to de-
fend the suit.
Warden Ryan of the Aims House. re-
ported that he had two foreign pauper
women and their children in the Aims
house and he asked the Freeholders to
have them sent to the Commissioners of
Emigration.
A resolution n was offered, which pre-
vailed, that the Committee on Legislation
convene as soon as possible aud with The
counsel of the Board prepare whatever
legislation the Board will ask for.
THE COAL CONTRACT.
Freeholder Nelson offered resolution
that the contract for furnishing coal at
Snake Hill and the Court House and Jail
be awarded to John Sheridan. the lowest
bidder
Freeholder Kimmerley asked that a
communication from Mr. Sheridan be
read before the contract was awarded.
This was done. The letter informed the
Board that Sheridan had ascertained
that he could not furnish the coal for the
price he had bid. aud that he would not
sgn contract. This settled the matter,
and no coal contract was awarded last
night.
Michael Curley, the lowest bidder for
building a retaining wall and repairing
the sidewalk on Pavonia avenue, was
awarded the contract. The amount Of
the bid was $500.

Reports, although confiictiHo. come from
every part Of the Northern Republic indi-
eating the growth Of the revolutionary
movement. Dispatches are rushing to
aud from the Mexican officials to the
United States officials.
1t Is impossible TO gain any information
from those high in authority, as every
one is under the strietest orders not to
make public the telegrams, but it is pos
itively known that there was battle
near Guerrero December II in which the
Mexican troops were defeated by the
revolutionists.
An officer. who desired that his name
be not used, states that another battle
took place on Dec. 10. when ten men were
killed at Coraive, where there is gar
rison. Five of the Mexican soldiers were
burned half alive
A courier with official information gave
it out that the revolutionists gave and
asked no quarter, but In every fray out
fought the regular Mexican soldiers,
those at Coralve being a sleepy lot of
half-breeds.
1t is also reported that another party
made another raid at San Ygnacio, but

BLAINE MUCH BETTER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. 1s92-The news
from Mr.. Blaine this morning was more
cheerful than it had been at any time this
week. He had not only continued to hold
his own, but showed number of favor
able symptoms heretofore absent.
His pulse was better, his temperature
lower aud he was brighter and more
cheerful than the doctors have found him
any day this week. He also took nourish-
ment better.
The doctors will not discuss the medical
features of the case. but it seems prob
able that Mr. Blaine has had fever along
with the other very serious features of
his illness. aud that this fever has been
allayed in part at least.
