The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1894-01-19

WE desire to comment with the
highest approval upon a feature OF
the present Grand Jury's work re-
ported in The NEWS yesterday. On
the night of January II, n Richard
Dooley was stabbed in the head in a
saloon row by M Grant Snow. One
day last week the indictment of Snow
was handed in by the Grand Jury;
Yesterday he was tried, convicted and
sentenced to a years hard labor in the
State Prison. Just one week elapsed
in this case between the crime and
punishment.
On January 9 one William Mohn of
Hoboken attempted to induce Adolph
Lankering to cash a forged cheque.
He was arrested. An indictment
against him was presented to the
Court On Monday; yesterday he was
tried, convicted and remanded for
sentence. Time, 9 days.
II this sort of thing keeps on, crime
will not be a popular pursuit in Hud-
son County in a little while.

FEAR. Il is a complex question, this is. and l
give It up.
Making allowance for the change
from the future to the past tense this
is verbatim ct literatim a steal from
an editorial printed in THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS about the time that the
Consolidated Company was jollying
its ordinance through the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners.
There is this difference in the motive
of the publication. however. When
THE NEWS mentioned it, it was en-
gagged in fighting the principle of the
people against a grasping corporation.
The Journal, in mentioning it, is simply
trying to ring a bell on the same COR
poration to induce it to restore the
free passes to the Major and his young
men which the company thought tit
to withdraw at the beginning of this
year.

TREATMENT OF WALLS
How to Make Paper Stick TO Differel
Surfaces.

How to Make Paper Stick TO Different
Surfaces.
The following rules are for the scraping
and treatment of walls Of various kinds
preparatory TO papering:
If walls have been previously papered
it is advisable to scrape off old paper, not
only from sanitary standpoint, but also
to insure perfect job.
Paper-hangers cannot be too vigorous
in advising customers to have walls and
ceilings scraped previous to repapering.
1t will do much toward dispelling the
illusion that many journals advance, as
TO the unhealthy qualities Of wallpaper.
To remove ordinary wall paper soak
the paper by applying hot water with an
old brush, and then scraping with hand
or pole scraper
falts. should be treated to coat of hot
paste. thinned down 10 the consistency OF
cream. After "A few minutes soaking re-
move by scraping.
Wbitewashed walls should be scraped,
after thoroughly wetting the walls with
thin paste or water, then size with strong
sizing. If whitewash Is not thick or
scaly, strong solution OF vinegar Will
answer all purposes.
For damp walls we advise either one,
two. or three coats of shellac over the
damp surface; or tinfoii, which is put up
IN sheets, can be tackled and pasted over
the damp spots.
For varnished paper, mix about two
pounds OF common brown sugar or mo-
iasses to one-half bucket of water, then
apply like sizing. This mixture is also
good for oil-painted walls. Scraping,
however, is preferred to either.
For oiI-painted walls. dissolve two
hounds OF pearl ash in bucket of water
and anDiy like sizing.
For calcmined wa Is. wash walls and
ceilings With a large sponge, then apply
ordinary sizing. New walls should have
a coat of weak sizing.

There were ten passengers and thirty

sented us the marquee he used during the
Mexican War. The Winfield Company

was the third flag imported to Sacra-

of Il and Sixth streets when the Fourth

present, it being too far out Of town.
Hon. w. NJ. Gwin was the orator, and
Colonel Zabriskie the reader. Our tents
were pitched on the south corner of IL and
Front streets. The first evening we
killed two rattleSnakeS in the Scott tent
and the next morning another IN front OF
it. The town was alive with them, and
when killed they were hung up on the
bushes. Every morning the levee was
covered with their trails TO the river.
In the lifeboat we sailed up the Amer
lean River twelve miles, and at nine
miles we sounded twenty-seven feet.
The banks were nine feet high, and the
water clear. On the I'd we took the first

S12 day to lay the floor for the Fourth OF

rejected the offer. Within three weeks
the company broke up in row, and
everything was sold at auction.

There is scarce any vocation in which it

IMPORTANT RULING.
A Bill May be Approved by the Presi-

A Bill May be Approved by the Presi-
dent After Congress Adjourns.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-A constitu-
tional opinion of great importance was
rendered by Judge Mott of the Court of
Claims to-day, to the effect that the Pres
ident can lawfully approve bill after the
adjournment of Congress, provided the
right be exercised within the days al
lowed by the Constitution.
The decision was rendered in one of
two cases in which the United States
were complainants and the u Abra Silver
Mining Company against We'll and a
large number of persons were respond
dents.
These are the first cases in the Court of
Claims in which the Government has ap-
peared in the character of plaintiff and
private parties as defendants. The suits
grew out OF awards made by Sir Edward
Thornton, as umpire of the Mexican
Commission, in favor of the company
and Benjamin We'll in one case for being
driven away from their mine in Mexico,
and in the other for a large quantity of
cotton seized by the Mexican army in
1863. Subsequently the Mexican Gov
ernment paid the money awarded to the
Government of the United States, but at
the same time charged that the claims
involved frauds of the grossest character.
Special Acts were passed by Congress
authorizing the President to bring suits
in the courts to vacate and set aside the
awards. Such was done accordingly by
the eAttorney-General in the form of a
bill in equity. The respondents de-
INJURED. the ground being that the stat
utes under which they are brought are
unconstitutional and void. The cases
were eiaborately argued by the counsel,
and have been under advisem 3nt since
February. The court upholds the con-
stitutionality of the Act and the sutli-
cheney of the Governments bill and
oyerrules the respondents demurrer.
