PETTY's ISLAND IN COURT.
The Government Did Not Resort to
Eminent Domain.

The Government Did Not Resort to
Eminent Domain
Special to the Jersey city Netos.
TRENTON. Jan. 90. 1892. Judge Edward
T. Green yesterday filed an opinion in the
motion to quash a petition for the ap-
pointmenr of commissioners in the matter
of the condemnation of lands of Thomas
Montgomery. for the uses and purposes
of the United States.
Thu land in question is known as
Pettv's Island In the Delaware River and
the United States Government wants it
for the improvement Of the Philadel phia
harbor by the building Of dykes ut Fish
er's Point.
Judge Green dismissed the petition. He
says that the statute of March 3. 1891, not
only fails to provide compensation. but in
terms actually forbids the making of any
compensation to the land owners by the
United States for lands to be taken. The
only circumstance under which the Sec
rotary of War Is authorized to make the
improvement and defend the %appropria-
ton, is the tree gifts OF the land to the
United States.
By the reading of the acts in question
the conclusion Is reached that Congress
never intended to authorize the acquisit-
ion of these lands by the exercise o. em
inent domain. Their possession by the
Federal Government has to depend upon
voluntary conveyance alone.

SALINGER'S COAL LAW.
The Aldermen Never Heard of u
Fire Escape.

The Aldermen were in session last
night just long enough TO give Max Sal
niger an opportunity to expand his chest
and display his o~ratorical powers on the
great and only coal dealers and citizens
ordinance which he introduced many
months ago. but which fails to meet with
the approval of his colleagues. For some
ineXplicable reason the subjact of a fire
escape ordinance was NOT introduced,
but it is presumed that the Aldermen are
waiting until it is demonstrated to them
practically that fire escapes are necessary
for the protection OF lives. 1t has been
intimated that some of the Aldermen
don't know what a fire escape is, and
what its uses are, but this statement is
not believed by more b half the COM
munity.
The only feature Of last nights session
was Saliuger's fruitless attempt to pass his
ordinance intended to prevent coal deal
ers from giving short weight. The ordi-
nance gives any purchaser of Goa The right
to stop q man driving ii cart load of coal,
compelling him to 60 to any scales and
lave it weighed and then answer n charge
of violating a city ordinance il the weight
Is short.
Alderman McEntee said that some pro-
vision should be made rs to who should
be made to pay for the weighing of the
coal under such circumstances. He OF
fered as an amendment subsequently
that the person wishing to have the coal
weighed should bear the expense. The
amendment was carried and the ordi-
nance went back to It's resting place con
the table"
This action aroused the ire of Mr.. Sal
niger. who in plain English Informed the
acceptors Of the amendment that they
were i'm the Board for their own interests
and not the interests of the people. This
little rub did not disturb the members,
and it was next decided to enlarge the
committee Of three. of which Alderman
O'Nei.l is Chairman, appointed for the
purpose OF having a bill passed in the
Legislature giving back to the Board
of its power to prevent death from
hamilton. Aldermen Simeon Smith and
McEntee were added to the committee.
Two liquor licenses were granted, two
transferred. twelve peddlers' licenses
granted. three for junkmen and W for
porters. The salaries of Clerks and Al
dermen were ordered paid and adjourn
ment taken.

A Dead Giye.Away.

Captain" John Graham and his
posse were highly indignant yesterday
because they were summoned before
the Grand Jury to give testimony re-
garding alleged breaches of the law at
Gutenberg.
Why?
If they are in earnest. was not this n
long step towards the accomplishment
of their purpose?
But they are not in earnest. They
are merely trying to use the machin-
cry of the law to injure the business
of the Gutenberg track on account
OF it's successful rivalry to the Board
OF Control race courses.
Their reluctance to go before the
Grand Jury is a conclusive proof of
the bad faith of the whole movement.

'there is but one effective way of compel

returns of births. deaths and marriages,

What is ScrofuIa

1t is that impurity In the blood, which, accumu-
iating in the glands of the neck. produces I'M
slightly Jumps or dwellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimpies, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
It'll a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the wo1Sf
possible features Of both. Being the most ancient,
it Is the most general of all diseases or Affections
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can 1t be cured? By taking Hood's Sarss'
parilla, which, by tho cures 1t has accomplished.
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine
q for this disease. For all affections OF the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequalled, and some OF the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. II you
suffer from scrofula In any of its various FORMS
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla q trial.

In the Matter of Doorkeepers.

III IhC ULaLbCE VI
The Paterson Press is finding fault
because there are twenty-five door
keepers and only eighteen doors to
the Assembly Chamber. If the Press
man had ever been a doorkeeper he
would know that it is a tough job to
keep that door shut" in winter, and,
of course, when q doorkeeper gets
tired there must be somebody ready
to relieve him or his door might blow
open and then the assembled Assem-
blymen would be liable to get the grip
though the general complaint is, We
believe, that they won't let go-and
the Jersey law crop would be a
failure. That would be Il terrible
disaster TO the lawyers, who find
much profit in constituting and miscon-
STRUNG and winnowing the grist that
is annually harvested.
We have no doubt that when the
Republicans get control of the As
sembly Chamber they will obviate
this danger and appoint thirty-six
doorkeepers, SO that when one man
gets tired there will always be another
man at hand to relieve him. The
Trenton Times intimates that the
next campaign is to be fought on the
basis of which party will promise to
spend the most money, and of course
the Republican party will not lose
sight of fourteen more possible door
keepers in an emergency of that sort.

The Fire Escape Issue-An Alder
manic Crime.

manic Crime.
The neglect of the Aldermen to
take n steps towards the passage of
u fire escape ordinance is simply
criminal. We regret. to say that
the responsibility rests on the
Democratic majority. The neglect
to perform so obvious a duty, sug-
gests almost irresistibly the idea that
some corrupt infiuence--money or
pull-has been exerted by the owners
OF big buildings. There is money and
power enough behind the opposition
to fire escapes to make it desirable
that the Aldermen should make q
particularly straight record. just to
prevent the possibility of suspicion.
1t is only a question of time when
there will be- a terrible calamity in
this city, if som, precautions are not
taken. Almost without exception.
our buildings, whether flats, factories
IL office buildings, are unprovided
with safe means of egress. 1t would
be hard to name one building in
the city which, is properly supplied.
Now, we have no special dispensation
of Providence in this town. We are
subject to the laws of nature and
chance which operate elsewhere.
Fire will burn here, smoke will suffo-
cate, and people will die in flaming
buildings if means are not provided
for them to get out. Just wait long
enough, gentlemen of the Board of
Aldermen, and you will have on your
heads the horrors of some ghas thy
holocaust such as we read of almost
daily as happening in other cities. 1t
has been just good luck that we have
escaped so long, Do you think our
luck will last forever?
In the coming campaign THE JER-
sEY CITY NEWS will not support any
aldermanic candidate who will not
pledge himself to the speedy passage
of a fire escape ordinance-no matter
what his politics are. We give fair
warning. This is a matter of vital
import.
