NEWARK OF OTHER DAYS.

RecolIections of an Old Resident
Changes the Years Have Brought.
Marcus Ford. now in the service Of the
Union Pacific Railroad at Cheyenne.

other days that are of interest
when I took up my residence in New
ark" he said, lit contained just $4,000
Inhabitants. The streets were In wretch
ed condition., in places halfknee deep
with mud, and on one occasion a large
mud scow, containing six men. was
drawn through Broad street Dy eight
oxeu. The City Fathers accepted the
hint and at once began to pave the
streets.
"Your cemetery was then three miles
from the town; Woodside was simply a
locality Of woods. and the portion Of the
city now occupied by Roseville contained
at tnat time. but a few scattering houses.
There were but four houses between New
ARK and Orange, and East Orange was
known as Whiskey Lane. Orange Noun
tain was only a mass Of trees and rocks.
"Just above st. Marks Church was a
toll gate, the charges at which W re one
shilling for a double team and sixpence

"When the Morris and Essex Railroad,

Client to meet the demands of travel be-
tween Morristown and New York. and
the fare was 81. IS each way. My father
who lived In Whippany, used to take the
stage that ran from Morristown to New

of history about Hanover Township. Old
Dominic Condit used To preach without
removing his overcoat. as there were no
church fires during the cold seasons In
those days. He would time his sermons
with the hour glass. and the women OF
the congregation would keep warm with
the cid OF foot toves filled with live
hickory Goals. At moot there would be
an lntermission Of one hour, and then
another sermon. The people, VINO brought
their lunches with them, would eat In
the church during the winter. Ia the
summer they would go out in the Dury-
ing ground and sit upon the grayestones.
"At that time there were no matches,
and / have often been compelled in the
morning TO go TO a neighbours and Dor

at home. There was then in use the old
fashioned fireplace, capacious enough to
hold a ~four-foot stick of hickory wood.
Before retiring for t he night this wouid
be covered with ash es, to preserve the
fire, but it would sometimes go OUT.

Greenville interested in rapid transit are
invited. The chief topic of discussion

ARGUED FOR EDHLSTHIN
The Main Issues in the Quo
Warranto Suit Aban-
doned by Counsel.
Special to The Jerses ctr Nelos.

TRENTON, June IS. 1s93.-The eplv OF
Allan L. McDermott to Mr.. Gilbert Col
Inns in the Edelsteln-Frazsr QUO oar Gnto
suit was a great surprise to the lawyers
VINO heard him. He practically aban-
doned the main issue aud confined his
argument to an attack upon the consti-
t%uLionallty of the act of 1884, which Is a
supplement- to the Quo WGrrdnto act,
which permits a person TO file an In
formation In the nature OF a quo a0Gr1dn-
to without first obtaining the leave OF the
Court. The information before the Court
was not filed on behalf of the State and
did not belong to that class Of cases that
could be filed by the Attorney General
without leave OF the Court. He cited
several authorities to show that the
granting of in Information was not a
matter of right. bat depended upon the
sound discretion of t he Court.
Mr.. McDermott claimed that the law
could not be attacked. because, incident
ally, a delay in the confirmation of n Of
the Mayors appointments for the pur-
pose of keeping the city government in
tact provided for the holding over OF one
whose term had run out.
In regard to Mr.. Collins iuterpreta-
ton of the act, that it did not contem-
plate the confirmation Of appointees as
members of the Board OF Finance, Mr..
McDermott said the very history of the
act makes this position Illogical.
Taking up the cases OF German and
Kelly, of the Tax and Police Boards, Mr..
McDermott said the conditions were diff
ferent. as their successors mad been con-
firmed, though the right of two members
to vote for confirmation was a part OF
this litigation. He held that the act of
1884, making tine taking out OF writs OF
quo aUdrronto one of right instead of dis
cretionary with the Court. was unconsti-
~tutional, The confirmation, even by a de-
facto board, would have to stand. and for
that reason these were two cases where quo
qrnrranto should have been refused until
the legal status Of the Board OF Finance
had been established. This right to re-
fuse. he said, was one OF the sconstitu-
tional rights of the Court which the act
of 1884 infringed.
Mr.. Collins. in reply to Mr.. McDer-
mott. said 1t was apparent that Mr.. Nc
Dermott had abandoned the main ques-
ton at issue in the case, and character
1zed the argument against the constl-
nationality of the 1884 supplement- as
ridiculous.
