HON0RING JUDGE ALBEIT.
Mercer Bars Tribute to the Dead
.Burist.
rpecial 10 the Jersc,i Citu Neus Z

Special 10 the JeTscu CltN INe1tS.
TRENTON, Dec. Is, 1S94.-At the open
ing of Mercer Court yesterday morning
the committee appointed to draft resolu-
tons on the death of Justice Albeit re-
ported the following through Captain
w. D. Holt
1--WE, the members of the Mercer
County Bar, feeling deeply the loss of
our presiding Judge, Hon. Leon Albeit
late Justice of the Supreme Court bow
ing in humble submission to the Provi-
dence that has removed him from the
scene by death, and being desirous to
place upon the public record an express
sion of the deep sorrow that each of US
feels on account of the death of the
distinguished jurist; therefore
Resolved, That, while the people of
the State at large are deploring the loss
of their distinguished citizen, the mem
bers of the bar of this county, while
sympathizing with the public, feel a still
deeper grief on account of the death that
has deprived us of the Chief Judge of
our court.
Mr. Justice Albeit was the presiding
Judge of this district, and, while it is
true that our acquaintance with him in
that capacity was of but brief duration,
nevertheless he was long enough with us
to impress all with the conviction that
his mental and moral qualities were such
as fitted him in all respects for the i'm
portant duties of magistracy.
'It was at once evident that he des-
pissed all low acts Of trickery and fraud ,
that his entire being was filled with a
discriminating mind; he applied legal
principles to the production of that grand
result. His reason was of that superior
order that produced harmony from chaos
and could make the most intricate affair
plain to the humblest intellect In the
performance of his duty fear was un-
known to him, so that when he had con-
vinced himself that his conclusion was
right his solicitude was at an end. He
was a pattern of industry and attention
to business. None who associated with
him could fail to feel the kindness of
his nature.
In view of these great and estimable
Qualities of our deceased friend and
magistrate, we, the members of the Bar
of this county, hereby declare in public
form that our respect for his memory
is eoualed only by our bereavement.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
recorded in the minutes of the court at
large, and in proof of our sympathy an
engrossed copy be transmitted te the fam
lily of the deceased.

of Chief Murphy, and the writing tai
lies in every particular with that in the
letters sent to Mrs. Hile. Alberts' house
was next searched, and in the coal pm,
be burst open, Chief Murphy recovered
about 5000 worth of property. He found
further that Alberts' had disposed OF
his plunder by private sale, which ac-
counts for Detective Smiths INABILITY
to find it at first in the pawn shops.
Mrs. Alberts. in Chief Murphy's opin-
ion, is a good woman, and was not
aware of her husbands actions. She be-
lieved he had employment as a baker,
and was surprised when told that. ne
had not worked at his trade since last
June His trade kept him away nearly
all night, and, as a result, his coming
home at three or four O'Clock in the
morning covered with flour did not sur
prise his wife. She often wondered, how
ever, why he was always so particular
to keep the coal bin locked and why he
went there every morning before going
upstairs. BY leaving his plumber in the
coal bin he disposed of it at his leisure.
In his house paper similar to that used
in the letters sent to Mrs. Hile was
found. 1t is a peculiarly shaped paper
by him shows the handwriting to be the
same as in the Hile letters also.
OFTEN STOPPED BY POLICEMEN.
His pretended business as a baker
saved him from arrest more than once.
On one occasion Policeman Ernst. of
the Fifth precinct, stopped him. He took
Ernst to his home and had his wife
identify him. On another occasion Police
man Burke detained him. Alberts took
him to baker shop where he was
known, and half dozen bakers certi-
fled to his good character. On both these
occasions he had stolen property con-
cealed on his person. From the Iombs
Alberts wrote letter to Albert Houser,
of No. 43 Harmon street. asking him to
tell his wife of his arrest in New York.
This placed Houser in the unenviable
light of an accomplice. He was shadow
ed for a long time, but he finally proved
his innocence of any connection with
Alberts.
The police of New York now believe
that Alberts alone committed all the
East Side burglaries which they were
unable to explain. He is five feet eight
and one-half inches in height and weighs
about ITO pounds. He was born in New
York, but went to Germany when young
when he returned and married the jani-
tress of fiat in East One Hundred and
Sixteenth street. He came to this city
two years ago and lived at No. 81 Har-
rison street He then moved to Fair
mount avenue and from there to No. 4S
Ege avenue. When he first came to Jer-
sey City he psddled oil and in that way
familiariZed himself with houses and
streets. He has been in the employ of
Bakers Durose, on Newark avenue, and
Mertens on Communipaw avenue.
Chief Murphy went before the Grand
indicted. This morning the Chief waited
on Inspector Byrnes and tried to arrange
to have the prisoner given a dose of
Jersey justice before he is sentenced in
New York for stealing only a clock 1t
is probable that his sentence in New York
win be deferred until he has served the
term he will get for his wholesale rob-
berries in this city.

. DUNRAVEN WANTS A RACE.
By Cable 20 the United Press.

LONDON, Dec. Is, 1s94-Lord Dun
raven, in an interview this morning, re-
iterated the statements contained in his
interview with a Field reporter yesterday
which were cabIed exclusively by the
United Press. He was anxious, he said,
that any kind of a race be arranged to
take place in America that would be
possible. He no longer cared whether
the race was arranged for the Americas S
Cup or not Upon receipt of the accept
ance of his challenge he would begin the
building of a new yacht forthwith.
The meeting of the Royal Yacht Squad
ron takes place at Marlborough House
this afternoon, and the decision arrived
at will be announced later. There will
also be another meeting of the Royal
Yacht Squadron ON December 20.
Lord Dunraven yesterday received
cablegram from Mr.. H. Maitland Kersey
in New York calling attention TO a cable
message of August, 1889. His Lordship
says he has not the slightest idea to
what it refers.

TO BRIDGE THE HUDSON.
N. ". & N. j. Co. Will Ask for Bids
for building NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15 1S94-Secretary
of War Lamont's decision that the
bridge across the Hudson River which
the New York and New Jersey Bridge
Company intends to build must be OF
another kind than the cantilever in.
volving a pier in the river was not vel
come news to the projectors of thai
scheme In anticipation of favorable
report on the cantilever plan, a con
tract to build such bridge was award
ed to the Union Bridge Company some
time ago. Their bid for the work was
$22, 900, ,000 exclusive of the approaches
and preparations were completed to be
gin the construction at short notice
The work is now at standstill, and
nothing further will be done until after
the meeting of the Board of Directors
which will be held early next week
President Kerr said that he would have
nothing to say until Secretary Swan
gets back.
George Young, President of the New
York and New Jersey Construction Com
pany, and a member of the bridge com
pany, said EVERY is at a stand
still at present, but the scheme to build
the bridge is not dead by any means
from reputable bridge builders for q
suspension bridge. If we can find q
reputable concern that will build the
structure for a sum not exceeding $50,
100000 we will award the contract al
once, and proceed with the work. There
are several drawbacks to the suspen,
sion bridge project outside of the great
cost. One of them is the time required
to put such a bridge in place. Mr.. Mac
Donald, our engineer, estimated that il
nothing unusual happened the cautilevel
bridge could be built in three years from
the day work was started.
Now, the Brooklyn Bridge took six
teen years TO build, and L am told that
the least time in which a bridge sucf
as Secretary Lamont favors could be
completed in twelve years 1t will be
a very difficult matter, I am afraid te
enlist capital in an enterprise which
takes SO much time to carry out The
plan of a cantileVer bridge was submit
ted to a number of very wealthy men
and they stood ready to subscribe any
amount up no $50,000,00o the moment per
mission was given to go on with the
work.
The whole matter will hinge on the
estimates handed in by the bridge build
ers. If the suspension bridge can be
built for anything like the amount STATED
in the findings which the Board of En-
gineers submitted to Secretary Lamont
think / can say without hesitaHior
that such a bridge win be built by oui
company. The future plans of the com
pany will be decided al the meeting
of the Board of Directors which vii
be held next week

WRECKED THE CAR.
Drunken Men Cause a Riot Be-

Demanded.

A small riot occurred between six and
seven o'clock this morning at the Ho-
boken ferry, between a half-dozen motor
men and conductors of the North Hudson
County Rairway company on one side,
and about twenty-five men who had just
come from the ball of the G. A. Becker
Association, which was held at Pohl-
mann's Hall, on the other. The fight
originated in motorcar No. 95 of the
Central avenue line, on the elevated road
between Palisade avenue and Henderson
street.
Conductor John Klarman went to col
lect the fares from the men, but instead
of receiving money he received punch
in the head and was told to pay his own
fare or they would throw him off the car,
Klarman managed to struggle to the
front door and call Motorman Bonnins-
ton, but before the motorman could stop
the car and go to the conductors as
sistance the front door was locked and
he was compelled to remain outside.

him to do so, but the sight of large
iron crowbar in his hands made them

THE CAR WAS A WRECK.
Word was sent. when the car reached
