FIRE ESCAPES COMING.
Owners Of the Weldon Will An
ticipate the Ordinance.

The constant agitation by THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS of the crying need of fire es-
capes upon the large buildings with
which the lower section of the city now
abound, while others are being rapidly
built up, is bearing fruit and the outlook
is that the largest buildings and the ones
having more than one hundred occu-
pants will. in very short time, be pro-
vided with wrought iron escapes.
Whether the Alderman do their duty in
the premises or not.
The Weldon Building, perhaps the
largest office structure in the city. in
which from five hundred to one thou
sand persons daily transact business, and
which is at present without proper means
of escape in case of fire, is to be provided
within six weeks, with wrought iron fire
escapes.
The amazing rapdity with which the
flames spread Saturday night in Furst's
store was a warning to property owners
at least TO those who realize the fact that
had thai started at time when the store
was crowded with working girls and Gus
toners, some must have perished.
The Weldon Building is constructed in
about the same manner as were the build
ings occupied by Furst and @ erihew,
which were completely Quilted in less than
an hour. A fire in the Weldon Building
would undoub:e edly prove quite as dis
astrous as did Saturday nights blaze.
Numerous air shafts and pine flooring
aud ceilings would furnish excellent con-
veniences and food fof fl mes. and it is
doubtful if the Weldon Building could
be saved from total destruction. Should
the flames once get good start escape
from the fourth and fifth stories through
Ill nrrir rlaI
would be practically impossible for the
numbe of persons who do business on
those floors. The occupants of the other
floors would be given more opportunity,
being able in many cases to jump on adj
joining roofs, This method of escape,
however, is unsatisfactory to the majority
of the tenants of the building, and Mr..
James Palmer, the agent for The Weldon
estate. has had his attention called to that
fact.
A JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter called on
Mr.. Paine: yesterday and asked him if
he Intended having fire escapes placed
upon the builuing.
"Mr. Allen" said he, "who resides in
Newark. and who is one of the trustees
of the Weldon estate, has spoken to me
of the advisability of having fire escapes
placed upon this building, and although
| consider iG one of the safest buildings in
the city l advised her to have the fire es-
capes put up as soon as possible"
'Why haven't you had escapes placed
on the building before?"
"Well, there is no law compelling us to
put them up and to provide fire escapes
for this building is going to cost large
sum of money"
When do you propose commencing
this work?" asked.
AN architect has already been consult
ed concerning the matter. aud iJ is not
improbable that the escapes will be on the
buildings in six or seven weeks. We
have decided to place them in the rear of
the building, with access from every hall
aud office, and then | think there will be
no room for complaint"
The owners of other office buildings
should follow the good example set them
by the Weldon trustees.

AIGNER MERELY FINED
Judge LippincOtt Warns Him
Against Anarchy and Socialism.

Charles Aigner, who shot a policeman
and citizen, and was three weeks ago
acquitted of the first crime and was yes
terday convicted of assault and battery,
for shooting the citizen, was sentenced
today. Judge Lippincott said:-
'The Court was not satisfied with the
verdict of acquittal in the case of shoot
ing Policeman Kern and believed that at
least verdict of assault and bat cry
should have been given. We do not be-
lieve that you shot John Gestern
with the intention of killing
him and the verdict of assault and bat
terv was satisfactory.
you have now been in Jail three
months. You have wife and five small
children who depend on you for their
support, and to impose a heavy fine or i'm
prlsonment on you would be to punish
them
1.-The Court has heard rumors, which,
If true, the indulgence OF them in this
country will surely lead you into serious
difficulty. The Court has heard that you
possess socialistic and anarchistic inclna-
tions of pronounced character. This
may not be true, and your neighbors
do not sleak ill of you, but
we warn you that if they be true. you
had better abandon the theories while in
this county, for they surely lead to the
rope of the hangman."

CAMDEN, Jan. IA, 1892 Miss Hattie
VandeIherchen. the eighteen-year-old
daughter of the Rev. William H. Wander
herchen, missionary minister boarding

the firm, being efficient and carefulin the
discharge of her duties. She has boarded
at No. sos South Third street for the past
four years. where she Is treated as one of
the family.
The letter she received was accompan-
led with drawing of skull and cross

"Let no man dirty your face. Furthermore,
let no woman break her face. by order of 5. O.

DUKE OF CLARENCE DEAD
Princess Mary and the ROYAL Fam
lily Plunged in Grief.

LONDON. Jan. IA, 1892 His Royal
Highness the Duke of Clarence, the
Prince of Wales eldest son, is dead. He
passed away at fifteen minutes past nine
this morning at Sandringbam. The news
of the sad event was communicated to
the people by the tolling of the great bell
of st. Paul's.
When the last moments came the Prince
and Princess of Wales, the Prince and
Princess of Teck, and the Princess Victoria
were grouped at the bedside
The leading belief is that the death of
the Prince has no political significance.
The dead Prince was twenty eight years
old and had spent an uneventful life.
Princess Mary of TecK, the bethrothed of
the late Prince, is prostrated.

ELECTRIC TRANSIT.
The Supreme Courts New
ark Decision Will Not
Affect Jersey
City.
WORK TO GO RIGHT AHEAD.
Mr.. ThurSton's Road Has Powers
the Newark Roads Lack,
and 1t Did as the Court
Orders.
WORK TO 60 RIGHT AHEAD.

The recent decision Of Justice Reed of
the Supreme Court in the case of the
Newark electric railroads, which declares
that the Common Council of that city
had no authority to give the
roads the power to erect poles
for the trolley system, will not,
as many people suppose, effect this city.
In the first place it is more than probable
that the Newark roads will appeal the
case to the Court of Errors and APP
peals. The chief point upon which
Justice Reed based his decision is that
the Legislature of 1856 which passed the
act under which the companies equipped
their roads with electricity, did
not intend to authorize the
use of the trolley system. The
act, he says, referred to the methods OF
electricity then known. 1t is evident that
at that time experiments were being made
with the trolley system and it was as
much known as any other system.
A NEWARK POINT.
Another point made by the decision Is
that the Newark Councilman could not
grant the privileges it did by resolution
but should have done SO by ordi-
nance. A doubt is also raised
whether the Common Council
could grant the roads permission to OBJ
struct the streets with the poles. None
of these are applicable to the Jersey City
place the road is peculiar. 1t
has charter different from
any other street railroad in the State, and
several special laws have been passed
which give it almost the same powers
and privileges of steam rail-
i.
use steam and to condemn property need
ed for its right of way or any other pur-
pose necessary Tor the operation Of its
road.
CONDEMNATION POSSIBLE.
1t is therefore apparent that if the prop
erty owners should object to the COM
pany's erecting poles in front of their
property the company could condemn the
privilege in the usual way.
But the wise management of the Jersey
City and Bergen Railroad Company did
dot take advantage Of any of these rights,
but proceeded about the WORK of equip
ping their road in manner deferential
to the interests of the city. They obtained
the permission OF the citizens to make the
change by obtaining an ordinance from
their representatives, the Board of
Aldermen 30 long as they had authority
TO pass ordinances and then of the
Board of Street and Water
commissioners. Ihey also Obtained
permission from the owners to
erect poles in front of their property, and
not pole has been erected in this city by
the company without first obtaining the
permission of the owner.
In view of these facts the company be-
lieves that the descison of the Supreme
Court does not effect its road, and it will
go right along with its preparations.
for equipping its entire system with elec-
tricity. The work will be pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible and rapid
transit, within all human probabilities.
will be an established fact in this city be-
fore the roses of June bloom again.
