terry against Brader, and said Brader
jumped on him. Brader this morning was

THE JERSEY CRY NEWS is a red hot Demo
cratic paper, but it is also red hot anti-ring.
This latter fact considerably outweighs the
former, and, therefore, it is to be heartily
congratulated IN having had prosperity
enough and enterprise enough to take on a
complete new dress of type. THE News Is
a paper with the courage of it's convictions,
and deserving Of the prosperity which it is
manifestly enjoying.

Another option.

AuothcF SpaAOhs
The City Hall Commissioners met Sat
urday and were delighted to find that an
agreeable option had been rendered by
P. Smith of Elizabeth, the owner
of a piece of property on the
Mercer street side of the site. This is the
last piece of property that the Commission
ers have to get, outside James b. Coughs, on
Montgomery street. Satisfactory agreements
lave been made with all the other
property owners and the titles will be passed
as soon as possible. Condemnation proceed
ings were to have begun this morning against
Cough, but owing to the fact that Corpora
ton Counsel Edwards is engaged in the
Street and Water Board hearing the case
had to go over.

The Pennsylvania Railroads eff
forts to block the construction of the
Junction roads tunnel under its
tracks has been defeated as it de-
served. Judge Acheson, of the United
States Supreme Court, has dissolved
the temporary injunction, and now
we presume the work will go on.
There has been much difficulty
thrown in the way of this great enter
prise, and it is almost wonderful that
SO much steadfastness has been
shown in the face of such q series of
factious delays. The litigation has
lasted now for five years. There has
never been agrain of doubt as to its
ultimate result, and it is a scandal of
our modern Jurisprudence that the pro-
cesses of the law should have been al
lowed to delay so long so vital a work
of public benefit. There has been
only one real question and that was
the amount of damage. and even
these damages are merely construc-
tive, for the P. r. R. does not suffer
to the extent of one dollar on account
of the underground crossing.
The curse of the age is the obstruc-

shape, the obstructive is the public
enemy. The only people he brings
benefit to are the lawyers.

CLARA KING FREE.
Charge of Murder Against
Her Dismissed.
The Officers Who Arrested Her Exon-
erated-Tiie Young Lady Still
in Serious Condition.

In Judge J0aehimsen's court yesterday
afternoon the new prosecuting attorney,
G. IL. CabaniSS, moved to dismiss the charge
of murder against Miss Clara King. the
young lady who killed Sidney Mccoy. a
young attorney. while playing in a charade
at the latters residence. Ills Guerrero
street.
Attorney Cabaniss called the attention Of
the court TO the testimony given at the
Coroner's inquest, and to the further fact
that the brothers and Fear relatives of Nc
Coy were the parties working for the re-
lease Of the accused. He said that there
was no question in his mind but that the
tragic death of the young man was the re-
suit of an accident. and he could not see
what good purpose could be served by drag
ging the girl into court.
Incidentally, the prosecuting attorney
exonerated the police officers who arrested
Miss King. saying he believed they acted
in good faith and in the discharge of their
duty.
Judge Joachimsen said he was satisfied
that the death of Mccoy was accidental
and granted the motion to dismiss.
The young lady is still confined TO her bed
in preearlons condition. Her father, who
was in court yesterday, was visibly
affected by the address of the attorney and
response of the court, but hurried away to
impart the good news OF her release TO his
daughter,

TO FORM A CORPS.
The COnsuEs Here Propose
Organizing.
They Will Be Able to Act i'm Unison
and Materially Assist Each
Other.

A number OF the Consuls representing the
foreign Governments at this port are en-
gagged in agiiatins the formation OF a con-
sular board.
Although as yet the movement has taken
no definite form, still it is being favorably
considered, and if the opinions expressed
by few OF the ConsGls voice the senti-
ment of all. the project will undoubtedly be
carried through.
The Consuls who were interviewed on the
subject yesterday were highly in favor Of
the consular board.
Consul Costa of Uruguay admitted that
he had heard OF the project, but did not
desire to express his views on the matter
until the Consnls had met and discussed it,
.'Of course, consular board would have
no International significance" he said.
'only it would bring the representatives of
the different powers stationed here into
closer acquaintance.
Take, for instance, on the death Of one
of the Consuls. As the matter now stands.
it is seldom that the other Consuls are ID
formed to pay the proper tribute OF respect.
''Then in the case of treaties, the Consul
of any nation may be wrong in his interpre-
tatiOn OF the text. In such a case, where
there Is doubt involved, the matter could
be submitted to the dislnterested CoDsuls
for their decision, upon which he would
surely act
Then again. it might happen that Con-
sui. in the exercise OF his duty 10 prevent a
wreng done to citizen OF the nation he
represented, would possibly get nto dis
pute with the local authorities AS tho case
now stands, ha would be practically alone
in the matter, and his action very probably
criticized TO his own detrlment.
"a consular board would have oGsider-
able inGuence in such matters, and the dean
of tile corps would represent the united in
fiueDces of the foreign representatives in
case that their Intervention would be necss-
sary TO uphold the. rights OF the individual
Consul.
Then in paying respect to the holidays
of other nations we would he a unit on
that proposition. La case of the Queens
birthday or OF the Mexican Independence
we would all fling our flags TO the breeze out
Of respect. AS the case now stands these
little amenities are neglected or forgotten"
The other Consuls were re;icent about ex-
pressing their views, although they admit
ted that a meeting would shortly be held tor
the purpose OF organizing. They also ad-
mitted that the object Of the board would
be such as stated by Consul Costa.
The dignity Of dean would undoubtedly
be conferred upon the Consul who had rep
resented his country ut this port for the
longest period
If such acourse is followed Consul Coney
will carry off the honors OF the position.

TESTING A LAW.
The High School Act Brought Into
Question.

The High School Act Brought Into
Question.
An action involving the validity of the
high school laws passed by the last Legis-
lature has been on trial for the past few
days before Judge Jones of Contra Costa
County.
The suit is entitled McCabe VS.. Car
penter. 1t was brought by j. p. McCabe Of
Contra Costa County TO restrain the Tax
Collector from collecting the taxes levied in
accordance with the high school act.
Under that law the County Superin-
tendent of Schools is empowered to fix the
tax for the purpose of establishing high
schools in joint districts.
The Supervisors are required to levy the
tax according TO the estimates furnished by
the County Superintendent.
This law, 1t is eoliended by Coogan and
Foote, who appear for McCabe. is uncon-
StitutionaL
The claim is made that it cobfers legisla-
tive powers upon the County Supern-
tendent of Schools, who is an execn tive
officer. Under the msaDing of the con sti-
tuition executive authority and legislative
power cannot be conferred upon the one
person.
Henley and McSherry appear for the de-
PENDANT.
The case has been submitted on briefs,
and decision is expected during the early
part OF the coming week
The outcome Is being watched with con-
siderable interest by all the school districts
10 the State. Although under the law they
are authorized 10 issue bonds for high school
purposes, none have taken advantage of the
act as vet.

The city election will be held on March

body. Among the numerous candidates

fame by jumping the Remillard Brick Com
pany's lease on the water front last spring,

of this Mr. Cartier thinks he ought to be q

The Dinner Hour.
New York Sun.

Thousands of Bostoniaus cling to their 2
o'clock dinner: business is SUSPENDED in
some Southern cities from till nearly 5
o'clock, but il is tot hot then to do anythiH g
but dine; and in bali dozen Northern
cities the dinner hour varies from to Z 80
O'Clock. 1t is only few years. by the way,
since O'Clock dinner was difficult to OBJ
tain in Baltimore and not long ago a New
Yorker almost missed his dinner at q famous
hotel in Philadelphia because he did not
know that the dinIng-room was locked
promptly at o'clock, upon the theory that
no resident or visitor could possibly wish to
dine at later hour. A motel in this city,
much frvquented by SOntherners. maintains
a double set of dinner hours for urban aud
rural guests.
