Own Rate-Other Matters.
A meeting of the West Hoboken Coun-
Gil was held last evening. ]. G.. Ferens,
who owns property on the southwest
corner of Spring and West streets, pro-
tested against ar assessment OF $34 for
the repaving of West street, on the
ground that it was excessive. He stated
that an improvement of the same XII ind
cost him only SIS a few years ago, while
a neighbor living on the same block wi tn
him paid only "a for having twenty-five
feet iu front of his house repaved, curbed
and tagged. He was willing TO settle up
for SIS, however. Councilman Schwartz
was OF the opinion that that was the
cheapest job on record. The matter was
referred.
Paul Klane, j. Angloch and G.. Butler
filed claims Amounting to $75 against
Contractor Kleene for work lone on the
Dodd street sewer. Chairman Chandless
said that the man needed the money and
ought to be paid. He thought the Board
ought to see to it.. 1t was referred 10 the
Committee of the Whole. Property
owners peritioned for u sewer in Jane,
West and Dodd streets to Central ave-
nue.. Referred.
Councilman Wichman reported that
the reserting of curb and cross walks
throughout the town will cost at least
$500. Councilman Schwartz thought an
appropriation of that amount ought to
be voted upon at the spring election. Re
ferred.
Councilman Schwartz informed the
Board that the settlement of the Spring
street certiorari assessment adjustment,
as proposed by Attorney Ricn. counsel
for plaintiff. had been accepted. Chair
man Chandless stated thai the NORTH
Hudson Railroad Company would moi
permit its drivers 20 stop cars on the
grade between Dodd street and High
| point avenue, and people were forced tc
endauger life and limb by boarding the
car while in motion. 1t was decided t.
request President bod to withdraw tn,
order under which the drivers are nov
working.

But 1t Was a Highly Realistic Scene
For All That.
At the conclusion of the performance
of "The Broom Maker of Carlsbad" at
the Hoboken Theatre last night Constable
Quinn. armed with a writ of attachment,
swooped down Oh the property room an d
confiscated seven trunks and a drop
curtain.
There was a commotion among the
pretty female performers, as some of the
trunk contained their street apparel.
The constable gave way to fearful appeals
and allowed the ladies to put on their
street dresses. Then he loaded the seven
trunks aud drop curtain on a truck and
stored them for the night.
This morning the interested parties
were in the District Court. Jess Dunes,
formerly the treasurer of Jacobs Hcboken
Theatre, had the attachment issued on
the ground that in Philadelphia he had
loaned Thomas Wilkison, VINO is manng-
ing James Reilly in ''The B roommaker,'

Wants the West Shore to Open a Road
From the Ferry.
West New York council last evening
received Il communication from Eugene
Brush to the effect that the Hackensack
Water Company will not be able to lay
pipes In Niles enu until the improve
ments were under way and completed.
The action of the assessor in placing an
assessment of 5000 IN the West Shore
Railroad was confirmed. The township
treasurer notified the board that the
school trustees had issued a warrant for
sos, and he could not meet IL as he had
only S37S 9S on hand.
Chairman Darling stated that the bill
calling for a reduction in The rates OF
transportation on the West shore ferry
had been termed a political dodge aud u
Striker" This is not true. A reduction
is needed and residents should give the
measure every announcement.
Councilman Smith thought the w
'ship requires something more than a re-
duction of fares. 1t wants q good road
from the ferry TO the town. 1t was de-
cided to request Attorney Daily to pre-
pare a bill compelling the company to
open and maintain II road from its ferry
to the town.

Pennsy in the Coal Trade.

The Pennsylvania Railway, it is
given out, has already a we'll ma
tured scheme for effecting an entrance
to the anthracite coal fields of Pennsyl'
vania, and rallying about itself the
private mine owners to afford a strong
competing system against the great
Reading-Lehigh combine. This is just
the movement we foretold several
days ago in commenting editorially
Oh the great deal. 1t may be true that
only 2S per cent. of all the visible coal
supply can be reached by such ar OPP
position plan, but the mines, by con-
~stantly working full time can be made
to furnish at least so per cent. of the
amount of coal called for by the
country's needs for the next ten years.
This is all that the public safety re-
quires. The only need for compe-
tition lies in the necessity for control
ling the price, and the Pennsylvania
and combination systems will be an
effectual check to each other in any
tendency to deal unfairly with the
public. Indeed we will probably en-
joy real competition for the first time
when the new Pennsylvania enter
Prise is realized. The coal trade has
heretofore been controlled by a
combination almost as rigid as
the new consolidation can be.
There was no real opposition, no
real rivalry. no competition in prices.
There was a certain volume of bust
ness. Three or four companies con-
trolled it all. They divided it to suit
themselves. set prices arbitrarily, and
snapped their fingers at consumers.
Now there seems to be a prospect OF
a contest between gigantic c~apitalistic
interests. We do not expect that they
will fight to the extent of really dam
aging each other. They must make
money and will soon reach a modus
vivendi. But they will be each a
sufficient menace to the other to pre-
vent any serious wrong in the way of
keying up prices. To share the mar
ket each must keep to moderate
figures and moderate profits.
If the Reading deal had no other
good effect, we should consider that
this one made it a public benefit
that it drives the Pennsylvania Rail
road into the coal trade.

THE document circulated among

terday-a copy of which will be
found in our news Observation-Disclosures
that Mr.. O'Neill was right in the at
tacks he made on the stock jobbing
measures introduced this year in the
interest of the Sugar Trust. The
Legislature should go very slowly
with such measures. 1t would be bad
policy, of course, to divert the flow of
capital to this State by enacting over
stringent laws against corporations;
but the opposite tendency is equally
dangerous. Too lax legislation can
only result in bringing scandal upon
the State. 1t seems very plain that

NOT HER UNDERSTANDING.

Jennie Street signed n Document with

A pretended note ana mortgage for $500

Jennie Street against Louis Lander, in
an affair growing out OF the lease to
her IN November. 1891, of the lodging house
at 121 Montgomery street,
She claims that on the evening Of the 10th
Of that month she was invited TO his Office
to sign cument, which was intended to
cover the conditions Of the agreement pre-
yiOusly made between them, but it being
dark she did not read it. and believing his
representations as to its character signed
it. She thought no more Of the matter, but
gave her heart and soul to build up the run
down business of the clearinghouse until
the 18Th ult., when she received notice from
a collection agency that she must pay a GER
tain cbaitel mortgage for $500 10 secure
note to that amount to the defendant, or
that it would be fOTeciOsed by seizure OF the
furniture.
This was the first actual notice or knOwl-
edge she had that she had signed mort
gage on the furniture, and a search of the
public records proved that she had signed,
instead Of an agreement, a chattel mortgage
for $3.50, with u per cent interest COM
pounded, and that the furniture covered by
the mortgage was liable 10 seizure without
process Of law. She says she would never
have accepted these hard conditions, and
complains that he is enQeayoriDg now to
take an uuc0nsci0nable advantage OF her
and f0TeclOse upon an investment Of $500
her interest now valued al $3.50.
She asks that he accept an agreement in
writing in conformity with their understand
ing, and that she have credit for what she
has done in improving the business.

meet tomorrow morning TO discuss the
progress and condition Of the work on the

who contend that they have performed the

corrugated ironwoTk. which was pro-
nounced TO be not up to the mark at the
meeting last Saturday. Now Auditor
Smiley says the iron itself is not the
material called for. Mayor Sanderson eX-
amined the work yesterday and sample
of the iron has been promised him Tor his
inspection.

what l am going to do" said the Mayor yes

MIR. Smiley stand by his. Ii l have ever ac-
cepted any bad work, let it be pointed out.

completed it is for Tie Commissioners to
accept or reject it. 1t is the business OF the

the work progresses properly and according

Just now whose fault il is that the iron
under the concrete is indented. ii the con
tractors have furnished the material cailed
for in the specifications, then they cannot
be blamed. As | understand it, there are

iron that is called for, and wherever this
