CAPTAIN SMITHS SUCCESSOR.

G~reenviIIe Presents a Strong Plea for
the Vacancy.
The rumor that Sergeant Thomas Nu-
gent, of the Second precinct, will be aD-
pointed to fill the acanc caused by the
death of Captain John S. Smith, OF the
Fifth precinct, a caused considerable
excitement in Greenville. The citizens
in that section complain that whenever
there is any vacancy in the precinct. men
from the lower part Of the city are ap-
pointed. They say that a Greenvtlle
man should be given the preference
to a "down town mau." One well-knoWn
property-owner said yesterday:
81 think it Is a shame the way Green
Vile is ignored by the different city
Boards. Men residing in this section
are never in it when any plums are to be
given out. We have men in the Fifth
precinct who are as we'll qualified for the
position of Captain as any man IN the
city. This appointment belongs to Green
Vile and we should have it. We want a
Captain who knows the precinct and the
people that live 10 it,"
The Greenyilie citizens will make a
strong fight to have Sergeant Haag APP
pointed. Sergeant Haag has lived III
Greenville all his life and knows every
nook and corner of the precinct. During
the seven years that he has been on the
force he has never once been brought
before the Commissioners on any charge.
His most ardent supporters are the police
men of his precinct. To them he is known
as "Hones Charley"

Down Town Houses Being
Gradually Abandoned
Building and Renting.

That the Hill section Of the city is rap
idly becoming populated with some of the
oldest families Of lower Jersey City is
now a very noticeable fact. Aud many
of The people who are moving on the Hill
are not renting houses. Private pur-
chases are being made, and there is a de-
maud for houses with which the Hill
dealers are unable to cope. Thomas Jor-
dan has just completed a row of houses
on Summit avenue. and within a week
after ''ro let" signs were posted on them.
every house was rented. Besides
this, Mr.. Jordan's agents were made
offers for the sale of the houses which
would have Melted a neat sum, but MI.
Jordan prefers holding them for rental
purposes at $25 per month. Houses at
rents running from S25 to S35. are in great
demand, and there is a healthy demand
for even higher priced houses.
On York street between Jersey avenue
and VarjcK street where there are moth
ing but brown stone fronts, a half dozen
or more "to let" and "for ssle" bulletins
can be seen. Some of the Oldest residents
of this fashionable block have decided to
move on the Hill, and with one exception
nave located within two blocks of Mont
gomery street. demonstrating the fact
that they desire to be near the rapid
transit system of street car service.
Another extraordinary case is that the
house recently occupied by Comptroller
Heppenheimer, on Montgomery street, in
Van Worst Square. has had d Ito let"
sign upon it now for a month. It has not
been rented and but few inquiries have
been made for 1t. The finest and best
equipped houses in the lower section are
going begging. a very unusua thing. On
the Hill, however, houses fitted
with fair Accommodations are being
gobbled up in great haste.
On Duncan avenue from Bergen venue
to West Side avenue, a building boom Is
In progress, such as made Kensington
avenue last year, one of the incest
and most fashionable streets on the Hill.
The builders on Duncan avenue are made
up of residents who have rented houses
in the lower section of the city for years.
The style of the houses being erected is
known as the "Queen Anne'' cottage.
The houses are being built at a cost Of
$1,000 or thereabouts. Iu almost
every instance ARRANGEMENTS are
being made for the maintenance
of lawns, SO that Duncan avenue will
continue to hold a leading place on the
steadily increasing list of beautiful streets
on the hill. The Clifford place opening
has been surveyed, and work upon that
much talked of improvement will be be-
gun In the course of a few weeks
On West Side Avenue considerable
building is being done, and. altogether,
the Hill section of the city promises to be
pretty well built up before another winter
rolls around.

RAT-RIDDEN GREENyILIB.

Policeman Meyer Has y Lively SEirmi is Ii
with One Of the Rodents.
Policeman Meyer Of the Fifth precinct
met with an Interesting experience a few
nights ago while on duty on the west
side Of Greenville. Meyer was standing
at Linden and Bergen avenues waiting
for St. Paui's Church clock to strike
twelve, so that he could quit for the
night, when, suddenly. a musk rat,
which had been hiding In the ditch
on Linden avenue, ran ont of its
hiding place and started to cultivate
the acquaintance OF the copper. The rat
ran across Meyers shoe and darted be-
tween his pedal extremities in q Very un-
ceremonious Meyer at first
thought that the rat was Il member of
the feline species, and reached down, In
tending to scratch its back. The rat.
however, did not care to be petted by ~
member of Jersey City's finest" 1t
made a vicious snap at Meyers leg and
tore a piece out of his trousers. IL WAS
then that Meyer discovered that the rat
was not q cat. The animal was full of
fight, and made several attempts to bite
Meyers leg. The policeman made
a lunge at the animal with
his night stick, but the rat was too quick
for him and got out of harms way. With
Meyer it was different. The club slipped
out OF his hand anu struck bne size OF the
frame house with a bang that made The
occupant think that au earthquake had
come to town. The tenant jumped ou of
his bed and after discovering the cause
of the racket suggested that Meyer secure
some salt n sprinkle it on the tail of
the frolicsome rodent. The rat
in the meantime ran around the
corner. and Meyer, picking up his
club, gave cnase. A we'll di-
rected blow soon settled his ratship.
and Meyer, after assuring himself that
there was no more tight in tue rodent,
took it to the station. where he put it Gu
a pair of scales. 1t weighed exactly eight
pounds. Mr.. Never says that the next
time he goes on that beat, he Will pro-
himself with a gattling gun.
The west side of G%reenvilIe is overrun
with musk rats. They come up in
droves from the Meadows near the New
ark Bay shore. and very often enter tn e
cellars OF residents. Many residents, on
entering their cellars, have had lively
fights with the rats they found there.

WHO Is THIS HEIREsS?

Nine. Charlier, a fortune teller, who died a
month ago at Elizabeth, left an estate worth
between $40,O and $4,000, a third to go to a
son, Joseph Charlier, who lives in Roseiie, a
third TO her daughter, Miss Lizzie hamilton Of
Jersey City, and the remaining third to another
son, Camille. who, when about sixteen years
old, shipped on a sailing vessel bound for South
America. The ship returned and reported that
he had been left behind on the coast of Pata-
gonia. In the will she explains the novel clause,
which directs that a third of her estate be held
for eight years for the missing Camille, by
affirming that it had been revealed to her that
the lost son had been captured by the savagesY of
Patagonia, and within thirty years from the

THE Home Rule a meeting winch
has been set for the 9th of April at
the Academy Of Music will doubtless
be a splendid demonstration, not only
of Irish-American sentiment, but OF
American opinion generally. Doubt
less hundreds will participate who
have no concern in the affairs of Ire
land, save as a matter of broad general
principle and abstract justice. The
system proposed by MIR. Gladstone,
founded as it is upon the American
idea of Federal adhesion and local
government, holds, Of right, the favor
of all American citizens who are
worthy of the name. The opposition
of the Orange element. which raises
huge funds and threatens war and
revolution, to continue the enslave-
ment of a people who are DESTROYS to
cultivate for themselves freedom,
prosperity and the pursuit of happi-
ness" can only have the effect OF
driving the whole civilized world into
the ranks of Gladstone's supporters.
The moral and financial aid of
America are wanted in this final
struggle. They have never failed in
the past, and we believe they will
rally with all their old warmth and
vigor at this crisis. Jersey City, too,
will not be behindhand in doing her
share.

QUEER story that, about President
Adrain and Bill No. 118. The private
graveyards of the Speaker and Presi-
dent of the Senate are peculiar insti-
buttons of the New Jersey Legisla-
lures. They are the outgrowth of the
evil methods which have been gradu-
ally gaining greater and greater prev
alence at Trenton.
The privilege of these officials to
bring up bills for action when they
please and keep them back as long as
they please, is a fearful abuse and a
fearful scandal. In other Legisla-
lures, where some regard is. paid to
decency, bills take their regular places
on the calendars and must be brought
up in order. They may be advanced
or laid over by vote of the House or
by unanimous consent. publicly asked
from the floor. But any interference
by presiding officer or clerk with their
regular order would be followed by
prompt impeachment.

graveyard system. Bills should be
advanced in their regular order, ex-

TODAY, we have to report the with
drawal of Mr.. r. G. Washburn from
the race for Alderman-at-Large This
means, practically, a walkover for
Mr.. Allen. Mr.. Washburn was the
only Republican, so far mentioned,
who had the ghost of a show of being
elected. Mr.. Allen would, doubtless,
have won anyway, being a democrat,
and the city having a normal Demo
cratic majority; but Mr.. Washburn
would have made the fight hotter
than any one else can.
His withdrawal, We understand,
makes the Republican managers feel
very blue. This is not to be wondered
at. 1t is pretty nearly the death OF
all their hopes. Their convention is
to be tomorrow evening, and it looks
now as if some makeshift candidate
would be thrust forward, just to keep
the party alive.
