the Emmett-Caldwel telephone line was
held in attorney Meachen's office and all
arrangements for the early completion
Of the line were consummated. The

AGAINST THE CITY.

Police Justice Douglass this morning
rendered a decision in favor of the Rall-
road Company in the case of the city
against Frank C. Monroe, foreman
of the West Side Constructing Railroad,
who was arrested for digging hole for
the purpose of erecting a pillar to sup
port a bridge across Culver avenue.
The arguments on both sides of the
case have already been published in
1.-The News" Judge Douglass decided
on the grounds that the general railroad
law gives the railroad permission to
construct railroads across streets above
or below grade without obtaining per-
mission from the municipal authorities
and that a statute overrules all city Or
dinances. He discharged the prisoner.

AFRAID SAMMY WILL CHEAT.
CIayIand Tilden Wants City Treas
urer Dickinson Watched Tonight.

There is an interesting fight on in the
Fifth Assembly district between Sam
Dickinson and Clayland .Tilden, an em-
ployee of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who
is protecting General SeweHs interests
in fine form. AS usual, Dickinson, it is
alleged, has been doing a little funny
business to inconvenience Tilden's forces
In an open letter sent last night to
Chairman e. W. Woolley of the Repub-
lican County Committee, Mr. Tilden ex-
presses himself as being opposed to
Dickinson's dictation and asks that
committee be appointed to supervise to-
nights primary at No. 435 Grove street
He asks this, he says, to insure fair play
and a fair count, which he believes
will not be given if Dickinson is per-
mitted to run things himself.
Mr.. Tilden, in a sarcastic manner, asks
why No. 4S5 Grove street was selected
as the place for the primary when the
enrolment was held at No. 549 Jersey
avenue He infers that Dickinson is
responsible for it.
When Mr. Dickinson was spoken to
about Mr. Tildens letter he said:-"l
do not dictate nominations in the Fifth
district Every club has representatives
on the tickets to be voted tonight:
have no more to say about nomina-
tions than any other member of the
County Committee from our district.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 1894.-The storm
struck the New Jersey coast soon after
midnight with great force. The wind
blew direct in shore and caused unusual
high tide. The waves dashed over the
bnlkhead in front of the summer cot
tagjss along the shore between Sea
Bright and Highland Beach. About A.
M when the storm was at its height
a row of one-story frame buildings on
Ocean avenue Sea Bright, were blown
down. These buildings three in number,
were occupied by Benjamin Hut as a

grocery store, and Benjamin Alien
baum as shooting gallery and laundry.
The buildings were owned by Albert

one was in the building at the time.
Soon after daylight the fishing smack,

driven ashore at Highland Beach. The
