THE LADIES' SIDE OF 1T.
Cyclers Very Sore Over the Wheel
mems Neglect-Just an
Hours Mistake.

The Hudson County Wheelmen and
the Bergen Lady Cyclers have never
been on the best of terms, and just now
the coolness between them makes the
temperature of the Hill all but Arctic
The mercury dropped to freezing point
last Thursday, as told in The JERSEY
CITY NEWS. when the ladies went to the
H. G. w. clubroom, which had been
offered them for meeting purposes, and
found 1t still as the tomb,-no janitor, no
lights, no anything but gloom and a
roomtul of chairs.
Miss Agnes Collerd, president of the
club, was the first arrival, as she expected
to receive new member personally un-
known to the rest. When she found this
unpromising state of things her executive
ability came into play. She lit up the
room, arranged chairs. and supplied the
place of the missing janitor. When the
meeting was called to order, there was a
brisk discussion as to the action OF the
wheelmen, and it is as well for their
vanity that they were not on hand to
hear it.
According to Miss Collerd the case
stands thus:-At the time of the organiza-
tion OF the Bergen Lady Cyclers, applica-
tion for admission was made to the Hud-
son County Wheelmen. For a time 1t
seemed probable that the ladies would be
admitted; put their request was finally
refused. The club then started on its
own responsibility. Then the gentlemen,
OF their own accord. sent the Cyclers a
formal offer of their rooms for meetings to
be held on the last Thursday of each
month. This was accepted, and voSe OF
thanks returned The time for the first
meeting. April 2S, arrived. and the gentle
men did not keep their covenants. At
least there was no preparation for the
visitors at half-past seven, the hour of the
meeting. 1t is fair to say, just here, that
some of the wheelmen understood the
hour get for the meeting was half-past
eight, and so instructed the janitor.
Throughout the whole disagreement
the ladies have maintained dignified
attitude. There has been no scolding nor
compaints-they have simply deplored
the lack of courtesy exhibited by their
hosts. They will not retaliate by refus-
ing TO hold meetings at the clubhouse,
but will gradually and gracefully with,
draw from the connection by holding
second meeting in each month at the resi-
dence CT some member, where in time all
meetings will be held.

COUNTY ROAD CHANGES
Chancellor McGill's and C. Z. Jew
ellis Properties-High Dam
ages Asked.

The Board of Commissioners for the
condemnation of lands in Bergen for the
new County Road met yesterday after
noon at the Court House. There were no
people present excepting those financially
interested in the proceedings. The
first piece of property, consid-
cred was the house and lot OF
Mrs. Mary A. Throckmorton on Ruth
erford avenue near Sip avenue. She OBJ
jected to having her house moved back,
and preferred that the Commissioners
buy the house.
Mrs. Fiendal of Stuyvesant avenue also
objected to having her house moved. She
said it was worth 81 900, and that the lot,
which is 25x75 feet, was too small fo +
such a change. She insisted that tn @
Commissioners should remove the build
ing from the premises. The house is
thirty years old. Mrs Mer rill of Stuyves-
ant avenue said the lot she owned was
worth 81 900. She did not know how
much damage the road would do to it,
Isaac Taylor represented Chancellor Nc
Gill, whose property on II ighland avenue
will be slightly affected.
The most strenuous objections mad 9
yesterday came from G. 9. Jewell VIII o
owas five lots and a house ON Vile y
Corbin, The house is 63 1-2 feet deep and
Mr., Jewell claimed that it could
not be moved back without
serious loss to him. The property he
valued at $4,000, and several expert wit
nesses testified to that value. Jewell
bought the house and land for $500 a
year ago. and expended $1,000 in repair
ing the house.
James Williams, neighbor of G. G..
Jewell also protested against his house
being moved back. Half dozen others
made similar objections, and the Board
adjourned.

OOR DEALERS PLAY FAIR.


They Must Pay an Increase, But Will
Not Levy on the Cons umar
A talk with several local down town
coal dealers this morning convinced me
that the local dealers arc willing to lose
the twenty-five cent advance per ton since
May 1, in order to keep in line their old
customers at a season when the customer
is naturally flying around from yard to
yard in order to find out where he can Sc
cure the best bargain in laying in his
winter supply.
So far as / was able to ascertain, the
State coal exchange controls the various
coal dealers associations throughout the
State, with the exception of the Hudson
County Coal Dealers Association. The
members of that body did not take much
stock In the State Coal Exchange
The State Exchange, it appears, order
ed the advance of twenty-five cents per
ton on ''stove" and CHESTNUT" to con-
form with the rates at which the dealers
are now purchasing from The "comp pne 4"
Jersey City dealers will therefore have to
pay more for their supply. but they will
not put the burden on the consumers
There will be no summer drop in prices.

WILL BE ATTENDED TO.
The Cases of officials Who Will Not
Stop Sunday Rum.

In reference to the violations of the law
on Sunday by liquor dealers, Judge Lip
pincott said today that SO far as any
power was concerned which the Court
could exercise there was firm determi-
nation to have the Sunday law forbid
ding the sale of liquor thoroughly en-
forced.
II see it Stated In some newspapers"
said he. that certain municipal OIL
take no orders from the Court.
The Court, when it found it pertinent to
the matters before it, stated ionly the re-
quirements of the law and demanded
their enforcement by the police authors
ties of the different cities, towns and
townships in the county. 1t remains to
be seen whether those police and peace
officials will defy and violate those pro-
visions of the law they are sworn to en-
force, 1t may take some time, but such
cases will be attended to.'
The following saloonkeepers who were
arrested by the Fourth precinct police on
Sunday last for selling liquor were ar
raj gned before Justice Kimmerlv this
morning and held in $500 bail each for
trial:-William Austin, of No. 93 Jackson
avenue; Peter Moore, of No. 3of Johnson
avenue; Michael Kennedy, of No. 4s0
Communipaw avenue; Harry Kenyon,
of No. 221 Communipaw avenue, and
John Fahey. of No. 5 Tuers avenue.
William Rush, the bartender at tha
saloon at No. "A Mallory avenue. was dis
charged. there being no evidence that
liquor was sold in that saloon on Sunday.
Officer Harmes, who made the arrest,
found Rush in the hallway of the build
ing and arrested him.

Black Lottie CoombS Twists
the Neck of a Fifteen
Year Old Girl.
IN HALLINGER'S OLD HOME.
Death of the Victim Hourly Ex-
pected-The Murderess
Escapes.
N HALLINGER'S OLD HOME.

The ramshackle old tenement house at
No. S19 Third street, which was the scene
of the brutal murder of Mary Peterson
in April. 1890, by Ed ward Hallinger. was
the scene of another brutal assault on
Sunday morning, which may result
fatally.
Some time ago Lottie Coombs,a a colored
woman, who lives in the house, was ar
rested for assaulting Mrs. Cooper, also
coloren, of the same house. She was
placed under bonds by Justice Weed to
Keep the peace, and afterwards let Mrs.
Cooper alone. but got her revenge by
ABUSING and assaulting colored girl
named Lizzie Seaton, who lives with Mrs-
Cooper.
Lizzie, the injured girl, is seventeen
years old, of slight build. and has the
reputation of a very quiet and we'll be-
haved girl. Mrs. Coombs is a big black
woman who weighs fully 200 pounds, and
has the reputation of drinking heavily.
For over week she had been threaten
ing to beat that Seaton glr1iWhen she
found her on the street.
A HIDEoUS ASSAULT.
Sunday morning as Lizzie was entering
the house with basket of groceries she
met Mrs. Coombs, who began to abuse
her and finally struck her. The girl
threatened the woman with arrest and
tried to get away. The woman, who is
said to have been drinking, became wild
with anger at the threat and
seizing the girl by the throat choked her
to insensibility. She ended by giving tho
girls neck vicious twist, thereby injur-
ing her spine seriously.
Until Monday afternoon the girl lay in
comatose state. Then Dr. Craig was
called in. He pronounced her condition
Cooper. Judge Weed issued warrant for
the Combs woman's arrest.
Constable Meyer. in whose hands the
warrant was placed, learned at the house
that the woman had fled from the city,
All attempts to find trace of her have So
far been futile.
SHE MAY DIE.
The physicians pronounce the girls conv
dition as very critical and the police were
notified at noon today that she would
probably die.
A general alarm has been sent out for
the arrest Of Mrs. Coombs.

but for the record kept by Barker.
The duties of r. B. Fish, James Scan

are arduous. They copy and compare the
filed and assessment books, and are at
present finishing up an entire new set
which were rend sreu necessary by the
change of the Aldermanic lines. The
block and lot numbers are now being
compared, and when this work is COM
pleted-a task which has usually cost the
city hundreds of dollars for extra clerk
hire-it will have been done by the regu-
lar force. During the winter months, five
of the six clerks are turned over to the
Board of Finance, and are kept busy maxi
ing out tax bills in the City Collectors
office. 1t has always been the custom of
the Board of Finance to engage extra
clerks to make out tax bills, but under
the new arrangement this expense is done
away with.
COMMISSIONER CLARKE TALKS.
"Our clerical force cannot be reduced
with any consistency" said Commits
sioner Clarke this morning. "Our clerks
report at the Office at nine O'Clock and do
not leave until four. The work they per-
form is difficult. They are kept busy all
the time. and now that we have begun
making our annual assessment it is not
improbable that the whole force will have
to work overtime. / imagine when Mayor
Wanser knows what each man has to do
| he will withdraw his objections to the
number Of men we employ. We have no
sinecurists In our department."
THE NEW ASSESSMENT.
Yesterday the three Commissioners, ac-
| companied by Clerk Connolly, visited the
Fourth Aldermanic district and began
the work of levying a new assessment.
They will do all their work in concert
this year. Seven blocks were gone over
and in several cases unequal assessments
were found. The Commissioners will
remedy this evil. and hope with the as
sistance of the County Board for the
Equalization of Taxes to make the entire
| assessment fair and equitable, and to se-
cure reduction In the tax rate.
