Chancellor McGili granted an injunc-
ton late yesterday afternoon restraining
the city from interfering with the laying
OF another track across Hobnken avenue,
by tho New Jersey junction Railway
Company. The points involved have
been given by The NEWS. The Chancel-

that the company operates its
road under sneciat charter

to the Hoboken Land acd Improve

opportunity was given to the city in the
matter TO exact terms from the company
for the opening OF Thirteenth street, but
the Street and Water Board failed
to take advantage of the ~fchance. Now

Why LIZZIE B. LOST.
She Had Been MaliciOusly lamp
cred With Saturday Before
the Race.

Some facts OF quite a peculiar nature
are coming to light regarding the poor
showing made by Captain George
Bouker's Lizzie B Ia the last Saturdays
yacht race of the Grsenville Yacht
Uub.
The boat was sailed by Captniu
Bruker himself, with an experienced
racing crew. and many people who Wit
messed the race and knew the captsln's
ability as q sailor. remarked that some
thing unusual must be the matter or the
Lizzie B would never be lear the end of
the lot.
Capt. Bouksr was seen at tbs iaish OF
the race and upon being asked said that
he couldn't understand what ths'troub,e
was, as the boat appeared perfectly d cad
and wouldn't answer to him at all. He
also said that he was going to have the
boat looked over before the Commodors's
cup race first set for mex Saturday, bus
since postponed.
A JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter called
to see him yesterday ut the Jersey City
Yacht Club House In Lafayette apd he
said that the Lizzie BIS failure to do
good work had been accounted for but In
what manner he refused to say. as he
stated it might reflect upon the Green
Vile Yacht Club. for whose members he
entertsided the very highest regard aud
esteem.
THE DAT TAMPERED WITH,
The reporter, however, sought ont his
son, Mr.. Ben Bonker, who seemed very
indignant at the treatment his father q

Three or four hundred men from this

Mrs. Peters, who keeps a fashionable
boarding house at No. 238 Grand street,
had an experience with a clearinghouse
swindler yesterday that would nave un
doubtedly proved costly were it not for the
foresight of her pretty and accomplished
daughter, Miss Mamie Peters.
About nine O'Clock yesterday morning q
well dressed man, about thirty-fye wears
of age, with a clean-shaven face, called on
Mrs. Peters and said he desired to board
with her. He was a glib talker and soon
won the confidence of Mrs. Peters. He
new boulevard, he said, and as his salary
was very large he could well afford to
pay literally for the DeSt room Mrs. Peters
had at her disposal. She showed him
about the house and he selected a1arge
parlor room, in which was stored quite a
lot of clothing. He said he would return
the next day with his valiSe and she could
get the room in readiness. That afternoon
he returned with a small bundle beneath
his arm. The room had not been pre-
pared. He told Mrs. Peters he expected a
boy with his valise in a half hour or SO.
He also informed her that he wished to
change his shirt, he having purchased one
that dav, and asked if she would allow
him to go into one of the rooms. She
showed him to one of the small bedrooms,
and as he entered he asked that if the boy
came with his valise to show him right
upstairs.
Mrs. Peters said she would and retired
to the kitchen. Miss Mamie had been
upstairs all afternoon and was surprised
to hear unusual noises on the floor below.
She quietly investigated and heard the
man moving about in the large room
where all the clothes hung She fastened
down to her mother and told her what
she had heard. Together they went up
stairs and ~endeavored to get into the room.
They were only enabled to open the door
on 9 crack, the man inside holding it and
telling them to go away, that he had
disrobed and was waiting for his clothes.
Mrs. Peters noticed through the crack
that some of the clothes ON the wall had
been disturbed. She became suspicious
and threatened to call in a policeman if
the fellow didn't Immediately leave the
house. He did SO in a hurry, and the
mother and daughter then discovered that
he had gathered together the best clothes
in the room and had them ready to pack
in the valise when it came. Nothing
further has been heard from the man.

BASEMENT BURGLARS.
Two Places on the Hill En-
tered--A Singular Incl
dent--The Boarding
House Man.

A burglary and an attempt at burglary
took place Tuesday night in the Fourth
Precinct, and that the one party or parties
were responsible for both is c~oncIusively
proven by a singular act of forgetfulness
on the part of the burglar. Part of the
booty he secured in the first house he
left in the second place he visited.
When the family Of Mr.. Andrew Dahl,
No. 30 Garden avenue, awoke Wednesday
morning and sat down to breakfast in the
dining room in the basement several
articles werc missed from the manteI. A
hute, g fife, a clay pipe and q cigar case
We're the missing things. Tie members
OF the family were surprised, and, investi-
eating further, found that during the
night some one had entered the house.
The burglar gained access by cutting the
mosquito net door, and forcing open the
inside door.
While the Dahls were lamentine their
loss the members of the family of Mr.. II.
b. Kitchen, No. 1872 Summit avenue. were
endeavoring to explain one to the other
the presence in their dining-room in the
basement of a coat and hat that was not
there the Light before when all retired,
= which did not belong to any member
OF the family. Investigation here showed
that a burglar had forced an entrance
through the rear door. In the pocket of
h coat was found a cigar case.
Now, Mrs. Kitchen was acquainted with
Mrs. Dahl, and learning later in the day
that the Dahl's had been robbed, she sent
for Mrs. Dahl and showed her the coat
and hat and the cigar case. The latter
Mrs. Dahl Immediately identified as be-
longing to her husband, but she wasn't
sure about the hat and coat. She took
them to her home, however, but none of
the male members owned them.
When interviewed in the matter Capt.
McKaig denied all knowledge of the
burglary.
