ANTI-TRoLLBY ASSOCIATION.
Grove Street Property Owners Be
Heve They VIII Win Their Fight.

Grove Street Property Owners Be
Ifeve They VIII Win Their Fight.
jeremiah O'Sullivan presided last nig.S at
| the meeting of property owners who are OPP
posed to the construction of a double trolley
track on Grove street, north of Seventeenth
street. The meeting was not a long one, and
was simply heldSto receive the reports from
committees.
The most important report was made by
John McAuliffe He said that the finances
for fighting the North Hudson County Rail
| way Company in the courts to prevent it
from laying double track were excellent.
Every property owner along Grove street
who opposed double track had contributed
IS or more to fund to be raised in the
| litigation.
Mr.. McAuliffe said the Grove street owners
were the pioneers in the movement against
the trolley companies and that Trenton had
| followed its example. Mr.. McAuliffe referred
to the action of DIR. Hornblower in refusing
to permit trolley poles to be erected in front
of his property and said that DIR. Horn
blower was backed up in such action by de-
| cisions in the United States Supreme Court,
and that these decisions showed that Chan
| cellor McGill had erred in his construction
| of the law in the case. The speaker de-
| nounced trolley wires as engines of instant
death and said it would be a strange law
| that would permit property owner to be
exposed to such danger without the owners
consent. Mr. McAuliffe also commented
favorably on the bill in the Legislature,
which requires the consent of majority Of
property owners on a street before trolley
road may be constructed on such street. He
said the Grove street property owners had
everything to hope for and that the people
| throughout the entire State had been
| aroused against the trolley system. He
believed that in the near future law would
be enacted compelling trolley and all other
electric wires to be laid under ground.
Mr.. McAuIiffe suggested that the Commit
| tee on Finance seek contributions from pro-
perty owners on the streets that cross Grove
street and his suggestion was accepted The
meeting adjourned to meet next Thursday.

ATROCITIES IN THE oAMERoONs.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

BERLIN, April 10, 1S94.-In the Reichstag
today Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that the
official reports received by the Government
confirmed the statements which had been
made in regard to the atrocities practiced in
the Cameroons, and said that the facts were
even worse than had been represented. The
official reports show that Herr Leist, the
Chancellor of the Administration of the
Cameroons, is responsible in a greater degree
than any other officer in the territory for
outrages inflicted upon helpless men and
women, the most of the brutalities having
been executed under his orders. The Minis
ter said that all of the persons implicated in
these outrages would be subjected to the
severest punishment possible under the law.
A searching investigation is being made and
the result of the inquiry will shortly be
published.
Minister Marschall Won Bieberstein stated
later that the Cameroons Chancellor Herr
Leist) had been recalled.
Herr Bebel (socialist) expressed his ap-
proval of the course taken by the Govern
ment, saying that the Socialists were salts
fed that the Government had done all that
could be done in the matter.

PRESIDENT RUSS SURPRISED.

When Told He Voted to Close the
Hoboken schools.
President Edward Russ of the Hoboken
Board of Education heard that School No. l
was closed this morning, and that some
scholars who had come were told to go along
home again Mr.. Russ couldn't understand
the whyfere, and determined to find out.
He had forgotten that at the special meeting
of the Board of Education last night he and
ordered the schools closed out of respect to
the memory of Trustee Reid, who died
Wednesday night. Calling up Clerk Darcy
on the telephone Mr.. Russ demanded en- ex-
PLANTATION of it,
ssYou forget Mr.. Russ began Darcy
''No, don't, either. I want to know why
the schools are closed. It's the biggest piece
of foolishness / ever heard of. Those schools
were ordered closed for half day."
'sNo, Mr.. Russ, you're mistaken"
'sI'm not, tell you. I know what I am
talking about"
'sThe board and you with them ruled that
the schools be closed all day, Mr.. Russ, = per-
sisted Darcy.
s'Well, you've got bad memory, Darcy,
I must say said Russ, sympathetically.
s'Al right, Mr.. Russ, but you ask Trustee
Hess"
II won't,n shouted Russ, as he slammed
the receiver on the hook. Later Mr. Russ
met Trustee Hess
s'Say, Hess, was that resolution meant for
one day or halfg' was the anxious salutation-

Mr.. Russ whistled up a doxology and
walked off to his Office

O0XEY NOT WITH HIS ARMY.
Believed to be I'm Maryland-The
March Today.

ADDISON, Pa, April 13, 1S94.-The excite
ment and apprehension at the presence of
the Commonweal Army seemed to have died
out this morning, as the town was very
quiet During the night number of wordy
rows occurred, but there were no fights.
Sheriff Hoover and his posse of twenty-five
men, all armed with Winchesters, were on
hand this morning to accompany the army
out of town.
At half past nine o'clock the column was
formed, and the men with three rousing
cheers for the good people of Addison, start
ed out for camp U. S. Grant at Grantsville,
Md, twelve miles ahead.
Just two miles out of town the Maryland
line was crossed, and salute of cheers was
given.
No trace has been found of any fleeing coke
strike leaders supposed to be about to join
the army either here or over the line in
Maryland.
Mr. Coxey's absence is still unexplained.
According to rumor this morning he is at
Frostsburg, Nd, and will rejoin the column
ON Saturday night.

seven years old, of No. 115 Grand street
Roboken, was taken to st. Mary's Hospital,

She was removed by order Of DR.. Kudlich Of
Hudson street. who advances the opinion
that the woman was shot, DR.. Kudich
probed for the bullet. as there appeared a
mark where bullet might have punctured
the flesh some time before He could find
no evidence of the bullet, but found one OF
the ribs broken, and piece loose. This had
caused the woman the pain. DR.. Kudlch
thinks the bullet is there yet He refused tc
talk to reporter this morning. At the hos
pital the Sister Superior informed the re
porter that the woman was resting comfort
ably. She will not talk Of her hurts and

MCPHERSON AND THE TARIFF.
Republicans Expect Senator Smith
to Help Them Defeat the Bill.
Sr,ecinI fo the .Terse7t Cifij Ne,rs

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13. 1894. .-''The
tariff bill will be passed by the Senate, all
assertions to the contrary Notwithstanding
This was the emphatic statement made yes
terday by Senator Mcpherson
Can you give any idea as to the time
when it will pass"
s'I cannot A Republican Senator said to
me yesterday that the Democrats would
have no opportunity next fall to do any
campaigning because they proposed to de-
lay action on the tariff bill until election day
came around. | replied that if such was
to be the case, would have to yield to
the inevitable. Personally, do not think
that they will be able to carry such pro-
gramme into effect. If the Democrats re-
frain from speech making we can soon ex-
haust the oratorical power of the Republi-
can side The Republican Senators will
only speak once, and many of them will
not speak at ALL I look for cessation of
general debate before very long. and then
the bill will be taken up by paragraphs for
amendments"
s'Will you make set speech on the
tarifp
81 will not. In the first place, I have no
desire to delay, even for a few hours, the
moment when vote shall be taken upon the
bill Besides this, my voice is weak, and l
doubt my physical ability to talk for any
length Of time Consequently, shall con-
tent myself with number of briet speeches
upon certain important sections of the bill,
as we reach them, explaining the effect and
benefit Of the proposed changes in duty.
"In particular" added Senator McPher-
son, 'sI am going to touch upon the crucial
point of this whole question. I propose to
present tables showing that this bill pro-
tects the interests of labor by making full al
lowance for the difference in wages in this
country and abroad I will show the wages
received by American workingmen under
the Mckinley bill, and will then prove that
any reduction. The bill provides revenue
tariff in which the interests of the laboring
classes are well cared for"
What will you do regarding the income
taxgn
ssWhen the amendment providing for an
income tax is reached shall vote against it,
but if majority of the Senate votes to
make the tax part of the tariff bill shall
vote for the whole measure, income tax and
all / am opposed to the income tax be-
cause regard it as dangerous and unneces-
as though it might be necessary to raise
revenue. 1t is now clear that it is entirely
unnecessary. I think that if the tax is left
in, it will have tendency to endanger the
bill"
Senator Smiths speech has been practi-
cally completed and copies of it are being
made today upon the typewriter. The pur-
port of the speech is being carefully guard
| ed, as the Senator does not want his words
anticipated. 1t is known, however, that he
will make a bitter attack upon the income
tax and upon certain features of the tariff
bill.
The Republicans still continue to talk as

s'Fixing the price of ice" was the subject
which received consideration at a meeting in
this city yesterday of leading ice dealers.
Among those present were:-Frank Nc
Dermott, Richard Monahan, Sol and John
Leonard, p Woolley, John Knell, w. Sny-
der, William Gorrell, A. Russell, Samuel
Burney and J. Fl. Smith for the Hudson Ice
Co, George L. Hath for the, New Jersey
Ice Company, Henry Baronberg for the
for the N. J. Line. It was agreed that the
price to butchers, grocery men and saloon
keepers be thirty cents hundred, and to
families fifty cents. These figures are a
raise of five and ten cents respectively on
last years charges. The dealers will be charg-
ed three dollars a ton by the wholes ale men,
while others will have to pay four dollars.
From the debate, which took place at the
meeting, it is not thought the prices agreed
to will be lived up to.

FALL RIVER Mass, April IS, 1S94.-The
severity and extent of the storm in this sec
tion are more far reaching than any of re-
cent years, and on account of the dependency
placed on electrical appliances by the public
the inconvenience has been greater than ever
before experienced. The telephone and tele-
graph service has been paralyzed. A COM
plete recovery is not looked for until the lat
ter part of the month at the earliest
The greatest damage was done to the
telephone service On Pleasant street, in
the heart of the city, IA poles were broken
off just below the arms on which 100 to 120
lines were stretched. At SHADES Ferry
bridge, where most of the long distance
and East, the whole nest of wires
is down and the cable box is in
Taunton River. In every direction OUT
side of the city innumerable poles and
wires are down. The West Island
branch line to Little Compton and Seaconnet
Point is prostrated for some miles;
more than twenty five poles on the Newport
there is great wreckage. The district mes
senger service in both telegraph offices is
useless. Owing to the generally dilapidated
condition of the local wires it was deemed
prudent not to light the electric lights last
night, and the city was in darkness.
Three of the fire alarm circuits are
of no value, and regular fire patrol
has been established by the police and
firemen Treasurers of the mills have been
notified to give alarms at the various fire
stations, and to place no dependence on regu-
lar boxes.
At the height of the storm the wind blew
over eignty-four miles an hour. Eight
inches of snow fell, but it disappeared rapid
ly. The Fall River line boats have all ar
rived at their destination. Reports coming
in from surrounding towns indicate the ex-
tensive wrecking of telegraph poles and
