AFTER $6O,oOo.
The Daughter OF Frederick Sleger
Seeks to Have Her Father
Declared Insane.

Judge Daily and Counsellor Jarvis
Atkinson have instituted suit in the
Court of Chancery which bids fair to
make some very sensational financial de-
velopments. The suit was begun
with a petition for writ de
filQuirendo de lunatico. and the mover
in the proceedings was Mrs. Louis Leslie,
who claims to be- the daughter of Fred
3erick Steger of HobokeD, by Ia common
law marriage, contracted d score OF years
ago. The wife of This common law mar
rage is dead.
Frederick Steger is man past sixty.
For many years he lived at No. 22l First
street, Hoboken, and during his life time
he amassed fortune in real estate val
ued at $50, 900.
In September, 1890, he was sent TO the
County Jail, and he remained there as an
insane prisoner until March, 1891. Dur
ing that time DR.. Converse, the County
Physician, frequently saw him, and he
pronounced him to be mentally unbal-
anced then, and today made an affidavit
that such was the case. The affidavit Will
be used in the petition to have Judge Hud
speth, ex-Judee Paxon and Assembly
Zeller appointed com mission to pro-
nounce legally on the question OF the
sanity of Steger. 1t Is believed by the
lawyers employed by Mrs. Leslie that the
commission will pronounce her father
insane and incapable of transacting any
business. If this result is reached
she will at once through DAILY & Atkin-
son ask to have the conveyances of about
$50, 600 worth of real estate declared null
and void, first because her mother, the
wife By the common law marriage, did
not join her husband in making the
transfers, aud second because her father
was not in a mental condition to dispose
properly of his property.
Counsellor Atkinson and Judge DAILY
said today that There was no doubt III
their minds but that the courts would
upset the conveyances. Tne lawyers
further added that Steger is at present
locked in a room on Second street,
Hoboken, and that his mental condition
is hopeless.

BAYONNE WANTS WATER.
Mayor Complains of the Famine to Our
City Authorities.

Mayor Complains of the Famine to Our
City Authorities.
Previous to the meeting of the Street
and Water Board, this morning, Con-
missioners Somers, Yoe aud Cook held a
conference with Mayor Farr of Bayonne.
The Mayor had called upon the Commits
sioners to complain of the inadequacy of
the supplyot Water, which The city
affords Bayonne. The Mayor said that
had received numerous complaints from
the citizens of his city over the scar city
of water. The householders declared
that they could not secure enough to
supply the most ordinary demands of
daily use, and they were often
put to serious Inconvenience for want of
water.
Manufacturers were also complaining
and declared that they could not obtain
half enough water to run their boilers,
while others were obliged to resort to
salt water in order to keep their ma
chinery in motion. Mr.. Farr further
said that an impression prevailed among
the people of his city that the Jersey City
authorities had been diminishing the
supply and keeping for its own use water
which it should send to Bayonne.
The Commissioners assured Mayor
Farr that such was not the case. The
citizens of Jersey City were complaining
of short supply as loudly as the people
of Bayonne were, but the Board was
powerless to DO anything. The unusual
cold snap of the past few weeks had
tended to decrease the supply. but the
great trouble was the entire inadeguacy
Of the present main to bring sufficient
water from Belleville to the reservoir.
An effort was now being made to
have another main constructed, and as
soon as that was done there would be
plenty OF water. During the past twenty
four hours, the Commissioners said, the
water had risen six inches in the reservoir,
and they thought much OF the difficulty
would be overcome.
The Mayor said he was satisfied with
what the city WAS doing, and he would
return aud tell his people.
