PAXTON SHOULD INVESTIGATE.
Affairs in the Hoboken District
Court Disgraceful.


Since the rumpus raised in the Hoboken
District Court room Friday by Senator w.
D. DAILY, as related in The JERSEY CITY
NEWS, there are several lawyers who now
declare that some shady transactions have
been conducted in the performance OF the
clerical work of the court. Some lawyers
have found it difficult to have collections
made by Constable John Reese; others COM
plain that funds collected by the Constable
have not been handed over. Senator
Daily makes positive accusation
against the Court Constable. As one
instance, the Senator cites the
case of I. Block, client of his One
Sneder of Union Hill was sued by
Block in the District Court, judg-
ment being rendered in favor of the
plaintiff for $3.50. Senator Daily authorized
Reese to collect the amount Reese did, but
Dalys client failed to receive the cash. SEN
ator DAILY made a demand for the money
and Reese handed over $125, within S25, he
asserted, of what he had gotten.
As a matter of fact, which the
Senator ascertained subsequently, Reese
had collected the entire money, but had ap-
propriated most of it to his own use. The
matter has not been settled yet Said Sen
ator Daly;-
II want no more of him. He has said he
would pay the money. but do not care to
have anything to do hereafter with him. 1t
is nothing short of scandalous, the manner
that the work of that court is done. But it
isn't the first time, as l said yesterday. 1t
happens all along. | have merely given you
an instance An honest man can't be treat
ed properly in that court. His clients can't
trust him. Collections, when they are
turned in, are slow in coming. It's a shame.
They all ought to be cleared out"
Counsellor Weller had a like complaint to
make. He said one of his clients swore that
Reese had not turned in monies collected.
In the case of Antonio Guecco against
Emil Berkman and Henry Meyer judgment
was given in Berkman's favor for $33. Reese
made collection and gave SIS to Berkman,
stating that was all he could get.
He kept $1s These and others,
are general statements made by the lawyers.
Mr.. Weller said he was disguised thoroughly
with the methods pursued in the court and
he hoped there would soon be change there.
sit is hard to get papers served. y he said Il
experience difficulties right along. The state
of affairs existing there is disgraceful"
Judge Paxton, when seen by the reporter,
said he preferred not to speak on the matter
for the present. He knew of the crooked
work
The crooked work. prominent lawyers say,
is not confined to the constable. They say
the clerk, John Lewis, is decidedly off color
The condition of the court is of such a char
acter that lawyers dislike to bring suit
therein. They demand an investigation by
Judge Paxton.

A PUGNAoIoUs PAINTER.
Gave a seventh Day Adventist &
Thrashing.


Thrashing.
Monticello, near Fairview avenue, was the
scene of lively scrap on Saturday after
noon. The scrappers were Gustave Barber,
who helps in the paint store near Fairview
avenue, and William Brush, a Seventh Day
Adventist, who lives on Jewett avenue.
Brush entered Barbier's store and
asked for some mixed paints. Barber,
who was just hurrying to the bank, told
him that he hadn't time to mix it for him.
Brush got mad and called him names. Bar
bier stepped into the street and Brush fol-
lowed him, still calling him names. One
word brought forth another, and
both became angered. Finally Brush
made blow at Barber, who
quickly retaliated and knocked Brush down,
causing his nose to bleed Brush, so wit
nesses say. went off crying like baby and
threatened dire vengence upon Barber Mr..
Barber when interviewed, on the matter
said: ssI don't want any publicity in the
matter. simply hit him in self defense"
'sYou seem well able to keep your end up
in fight" suggested the reporter.
s'You bet can, he answered, II didn't
take boxing lessons from Steve McMahon
when l was boy for nothing"

AN ENGLISH STRAW.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Feb. 5, 1s94.-The Pail MalI
Gazette, today, further comments on the
action of Rear Admiral Benham, the COM
mander of the American feet at Rio Janeiro,
who, in most decided manner, gave the
insurgents to understand that they must re-
spect the rights of American shipping.
The paper says that there are SO
many European interests in Brazil that
Admiral Benham will never be allowed to
play the game that Patrick Egan, the
former American Minister to Chill, played
in that country. Admiral Benham, it adds,
has no right to defend his action on the plea
that European powers are intriguing
to restore the Empire of Brazil, although
the powers would have every excuse to re-
establish the Empire if it was true that
Brazil desired an Emperor.

NO 1NoUIsIToRIAL EXAMINATIONS
Chancellor McGill Makes an Order I'm
| the Cordage Matter.

Cordage matters occupied good share of
Chancellor McGill's time this morning. The
matter was brought to the Chancellor's at
ention by Lawyer Cadwalder of New York,
who applied for an order to have Mrs. Eliza
A. Wall produced for cross examination.
Mrs. Wall has filed petition for leav e to

Wall, another member of the firm, sold
the firms business to the Cordage Company
for $5540O0. Frank Wall, who became q
stockholder, director and vice-president of
the National Cordage Company, relieved the
company from that claim by what Mrs.
Wallis counsel says was method to the
bottom of which they have been unable to
get, She also said that she had not heard of
the order TO limit creditors.
Mr.. Cadwalder argued at length In sup
port of his motion, going into almost the en-
tire merits of the case.
Mr.. Lindabury opposed the application,
but the Chancellor directed that Mrs. Wall
be produced for cross-examination, with q
proviso that the receiver could not examine
her again when passing upon her claim.
Two examinations, he said, would be in
quisitorial.

ELDORADO TO BE SOLD.
Chancellor McGiil orders a Public
Sale in Two Weeks.

Lawyer E. V. s. Besson of Hoboken, on
behalf of Theophilus Butts, receiver of the
Palisades Amusements' Company, which is
the official name of "Eldorado," applied to
Chancellor McGill this morning for an
order authorizing the receiver to sell the
equity of redemption in the real and person
al property of the company for 5000. Mr..
Besson said that this was considered a good
offer and it was for the best interests of the
creditors to have it accepted.
Ex-Judge Abel l. Smith opposed the mo
ton on behalf of several of the creditors. He
said that this motion was made in behalf of
the old officers who had so mlsrnanaged the
affairs of the company as to necessi-
tate the appointment of q receiver.
He said that the creditors he represented
wanted an opportunity to bid on the prop
erty.
The Chancellor decided that the property
should be sold at public auction two weeks
from tomorrow

pressive measures. These measures, it is
