TO TEST THE SUBWAY LAW.
A Newark Church Ce~rtioraris a Grant o
a Trolley Franchise.

a Trolley Franchise.
Special to the JERSEY CItg Netcs.
NEWARK. Aug. 81, 1692.-An action to
test the powers of the Board of Commits
~sioners of Electrical Subwsys was begun
yesterday morning in the Circnit Court in
this city before Judge Depus. 1t was in
the form of an application for a writ of
certiorari to review a resolution of the Sub
way Commissioners granting the right to
use the trolley system to the Trenton City
Railway Comp my.
The application was made by William
H. Gummere on behalf of the trustees of
the First Presbyterian Church, which is
situated on State street. Trenton, through
which electric cars are now ruu on the
overhead trolley system.
SPECIAL FRANCHISES.
Mr.. Gumnere niAde aIengthy argument
to the Court. He held that the State
Legislature had not the right TO grant u
special franchise to any particular COR
porate body, and therefore had not the
power to delegate TO a Board Of Commits
siouers sucn u right.
Therefore. he continued. the Electrical
Subway Commissioner did not ave the
power TO grant TO the Trenton City Rail
way Company, as an individual corpora
ton. a franchise to use TIE trolley cleo
trical system. On the contrary, a fran
chise could only be given either by the
Legislature or the Subway Commission
ers, when given to all corporations in the
class.
Going still further, Mr.. Gummere ques-
toned the power of the Subway Com
mission to grant any franchises. and he
argned that the only intention OF the
Legislature in creating the board was to
give authority to regulate electric con-
struc;ion. The whole scope of the boards
authority. he continued. was 10 decide
where poles should be placed ana wires
strung by corporations having proper
privilege to construct electric railways.
THE ~COMPANY's SIDE.
Judge Beasley, of Trenton, appeared
for the railway company. He said his
clients didn't need a franchise from the
Board of Electrical control, as they had u
franchise to use electricity conferred
upon it by the Legislature wnen the
charter was granted.
This charter was received in 1859 by the

X. G.. DIM 4 Co.'S Review.

New YORK, Novem Der 25.-R. &. Dun
g Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The announcement that gold would be
exported to-day, though not in large
amounts, has not necessarily as much
meaning as many suppose. Foreign eX-
change does not Justify exports, and
movements not warranted by the state
Of exchange may be due to temporary
and tritling influences.
The condition OF business through the
country appears to be excellent, with
the volume Of trade greater than in any
previous year. AT Philadelphia trade
in general is fairly active, money is
easier for lack OF demand. Trade is
good in Cleveland, though not changed
in iron. Money is close with active de-
mand
The condition OF the great industries
is decidedly favorable. In general the
manufacturers promise TO have no "be-
tween seasons" Wooden mills are still
busy and sales OF wool greater than
year ago with smaller stocks. The cot
ton industry is thriving everywhere. In
iron the market remains firm with
large orders for structural products.
The business failures during the past
seven days number 200 as compared
with totals OF 240 last week and for the
same time last year 295.

CLEVELAND, o., November 25.-In a
weekly review Of iron and ore business the
Iron Trade R6UielU says:
The conditions surrounding the iron
trade to-day are such as to give the war
rant or sOlldity to every symptom that
counts for the better. Whatever uncer-
tainty there is as TO industrial legislation
will efectually repreSs speculative enter
prise. In the iron tradeit will tend to hold
production In close touch with demand,
thus antidOting unhealthful conditions that
have ruled through the year. Furnaces
out Of blast are not likely to be in haste to
become producers again, and II the 40
sOrptiOn Of stocks continue steadily the ad-
vance 70 higher prices will be proportion
ately steady. But ifs aside the heavy
demand in nearly every department Of the
market beginning with raw iron is still
the leading fact. Actual orders are taking
stock from furnaces as fast as made and
the hardening tendency Of prices con-
tinues. Bessemer pig is attract
ing attention for the demand fur
nished by the enormous consumption Of
soft steel and for the better prices sellers
are able 70 secure contrary TO what had
been rulsble for two weeks previous. Yes
sells that have gone up 20 the head OfLeke
Superior for ore, IN the past week have
been compelled 70 bring down grain, so
slow was the work Of getting frozen ore
out OF the pockets. The few that are now
lOadingat Ashland Will have their hands
full 20 secure their CGrgOes and then get
down with them With these cargoes on
the docks and the few that are yet to come
from Escanaba, the record Of 1892 will
have been made up. The probability that
the shipping seasons close would show q
very small amount of uns0ld soft Bessemers
on the docks was suggested some time ago.
The fact is now appreciated by buyers that
a round lot of soft ore of Bessemer quality
could not be had and il is very question:
bic If a 5000 ton order for standard ores OF
this description could be filled and the few
that are yet 20 come from EscanG0a the re-
cord of 1892 Will have been made up.

SIR: Lewis county Democracy viii
present the name Of MIR. Z. +. Lynch,
OF Weston, for the position Of Sergeant
at arms at the meeting of the next Leg
iSlature, for the Lower House.
Mr.. Lynch has always been a ''hewer
OF wood and drawer Of water" in the
party, and has never asked for any
thing at the hands OF the party before.
Tie would make an ideal officer,
being energetic. strong, sober and thor
oughly efficient. In the campaign just
closed he took an active part in behalf
OF the whole ticket, and spent his time
in Lewis and adjoining counties for the
party without any hope of reward.
The Legislature would reward a
faithful servant by giving him this ap-
pOintment.
His character is above reproach and
his appointment would be a just recog-
milton Of true and faithful Democracy.
