No GROVE ST. TROLLEY
Supreme Court Holds the Or
b. dinanee Defective
to Be Taken.

@ fIFi4t5n. ~ 4 NO ysHaNEFE .ll
Ex1Nayors Collins, acting as counsel for
the Grove street property owners, who
objected to- the operation of a double
track trolley system by the North Hud-
son County Railway, has won a victory
over the company. The Supreme Court
yesterday decided tina the ordinance
granted by the old Street and Water
Board to the Company was defective,
and for hat reason annot become OPP
erative. The defect is that the ordi-
nance does not set forth in what part
of he street the tracks are to be laid
or how far the outer rail will be from
the curb.
FATHER GILLEN'S CRUSADE.
1t will be remembered that when the
ordinance was under consideration the
property owners on Grove street object
ed to the invasion of the trolley because
the ordinance authorized the operation
of only a single track from Pavonia
avenu to Newark avenue, and a double
track frcM Pavonia avenue to the Ho-
boken line. The property owners north
of the railroad headed by Father Gill
len waited upon Mayor Wanser and i'm
plored him to veto the ordinance be-
cause the street was so narrow that
double tracks would render it unfit for
business of any character, endanger the
lives Of the children who attended St.
Eucyis school and greatly. depreciate the
value of Grove street realty.
THE MAYORS VETO.
Mayor Wanser vetoed the ordinance,
but 1t was subsequently passed, not
w~ithstanding his objections. Z The ruling
of the Supreme Court is that the Street
and Water Board has the right to grant
such an ordinance, but that the location
of the tr1cks3must be exactly described
before it can become operative. The
Railroad Company proposes carrying the
matter to the Court of Errors and APP

1T is EXPENSIVE TO BE RICH.

Any one acquainted with the living
expenses of persons who esteem them
selves fairly comfortable, finds a signifi-
can't moral in the commands laid upon
the rich by their physicians. Not only is
the wealthy patient hidden to substitute
costly table waters and even imported
champagne for ordinary drinks, but
every detail of his daily life seems regu-
lated with a view to spending the
most money for his needs. The whole
world is ransacked for food that his
weak stomach can digest, for clothing
sanitarily suitable for his body. The in
fants of the rich are required to drink
milk at so cents a quart, and to wear
tiny garments that exceed the cost Of
plain adult clothing. 1t may very well
be that a child under two years old, fed
and clothed according to a doctors pre-
scriptions, may cost more per .annum
than the living expenses of a wholesome
" clothed, fed and housed adult.-Ex-

JERSEYS GAME LAWS.
A Discussion of to Al
Gunners.
SpeciGl to The JerSeu C5tu Ne1rs,

PLAINFIELD, Nov. 9, 1S94.-The fact
that the last New Jersey Legislature
changed the anne laws, making it unlaw-
full to shoot rabbits and quail until after
November 10, does not seem to have be-
come generally known. In previous
years the law allowed shooting on and
after November 10, and many hunters
sought game on that day because they
did not know of the change in the law.
Another error likely to be made by en-
thusiastic hunters will be the killing of
game next Saturday.
City Judge William A. ~Coddington, of
this city, who is an arden sportsman, as
we'll as a leading lawyer in the New Jer-
sey courts, has rendered a decision that
it will not be awful to kill game on the
tenth of this mont of the sixteenth of
next month. His decision reads:-"It will
be unlawful for any person to kill or cap
ture game or nave in his possession with
in this State any quail or rabbit on the
tenth day of November or the sixteenth
day of December in any year. The inten-
ton of the Legislature in passing this
that the act states that it shall be unlaw-
full, etc, between the tenth of Novem-
Der and sixteenth of December In con-
STRUNG this act we must exclude both of
these dates, and any person who hunts
on either of these dates, and is unfortu-
nate enough to kill quail or rabbit, X

or rabbit he secures, or has unlaWfully

ENAdTING WAR SCENES.
CrcditabIe Entertainment of Lafay-
cite Boys Brigade.

The Fourth Jersey City Company
Boys Brigade of the Lafayette Re
formed Church last night gave a series
of tableaux and entertainment to raise
funds to pay the balance on a debt due
on their uniforms. The Misses Wittpenn
and Stevens opened the programme with
a piano Duet. Two series of tableaux
describing the, early war excitement
followed. They began with the Presi-
dents proclamation" showing a com
pany going off to the war, introduce
ing a comic scene entitled Fall in for
from Picket Duty" The principal parts
were taken by Captain p. Shannon, first
lieutenant; Harry LouderbougK, who
was also stage manager, second lieuten-
Howard Dennis and Corporals Harry
Moore and Arthur Hazlett. While the
boys were preparing for the next series
Miss FloraW ittpenn entertained the au-,
dience with a well rendered violin SeleC-
The second series included 1.-THE
Alarm" The Rally" and THE Army
represented the sailor and Private Clar-
enee McClary the soldier in the Army
and Navy scene. First Lieutenant Har-
ry Louderbough recited "Sheridan,s
Ride and then a sally on the enemy's
camp and the searching of a prisoner
was represented in realistic fashion. Miss
Carrie Clark sang a solo and Miss, H.
Barlow recited 1.-THE Romance of a
Rose"
The next series presented several pa
thetic scenes which were well handled
by the young soldiers. They represented
a soldier volunteering for the forlorn
hope, his return desperately wounded,
his last message to friends at home, his
death and his funeral. Miss Wittpenn
rendered "Cavalleria Rusticana, "Skir-
mishing." and Hit By a Stray Bullet
were followed by a recitation, THE

scriptive of the tableaux which came af-
ter it. The first scene was the sentry

The Greater New York Blunder.

According to the maturest opinion the
consolidation of New York, Brooklyn
and the other surrounding cities INTO one
great municipality is a mistake. ihe
October number of the North Ameri-
can Review" had an article on the SUP
iect from the pen of the Ri. Hon. George
Robert TYLER. Lord Mayor of London, in
which the dangers and difticulties OF
such consultations are fully shown.
The trouble is that the officials OF
huge cities such as the Greater New
York can have 10 real knowledge OF the
interests confded TO their care. NUM-
cinal administration requires minute ac-
cuaintance with facts. In his 1t dlners
from State legislation. wherein general
nrincinles are the governing elements.

that the man who is an expert on the
affairs of Gravesend is a fool when he
comes to deal with the problems OF
yonkers, and the man who o all
about the interests of Long Island City
is out of his depth in the great problems
OF Manhattan Island.
The Greater New York is a step in the
wrong direction. 1t is a ridiculous piece
of vanity on the one hand and a whole
sale outrage on the principle of local
rule on the other. 1t will lead to greater
corruption and abuse than has ever pre-
vailed in the past. 1t is true it puts
Chicago in a back seat: but the price
is too high for the satisfaction. 1t is a

PROBATE SUSTAINED.
Appeal Against Father Cor
rigan's Will Is Dis
missed.

Judge Hudspeth yesterday afternoon
dismissed the caveat against the will
of the late Rev. Patrick Corrigan, be-
cause the evidence of the contestants
had not proved that there was any lack
of testamentary capacity on the part
of Father Corrigan when he made his
will.
Counsellor Leon Albeit, of counse for
the caveators, when the case in the
Orphans Court was called. said that
their case rested on the proof already
submitted. He said that he could not
produce important witnesses because they
were either out of the State, or, if in
New Jersey, could not be found.

cluded Mr.. Albeit.
NO CASE MADE OUT.

marked Judge Hudspeth; 1--WE are unani-
mously of opinion that not ever a prima
facie case has been made out"
But. Your Honor" ~interposed Mr..
Albeit, Mr.. Minturn, on the stand,
said that when he called the attention
of Father Corrigan to the fact that he
had omitted leaving something to one
Of his nieces, the dying priest said, oh,
l forgot, l must leave her something
This, Your Honor, with the eccen-
tTlClll6S anu peCulldTllieS we ndNC CS-
tablished is, in our opinion. sufficient to
lave the will laid aside"
APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
MY colleagues and myself don't think
So" replied Judge Hudspeth. Our con.
clusion as to the character of proof
offered by the contestants is that there
is no evidence that the testator was
lacking in testamentary capacity when
he made his will"
Judge Kenny whispered in Judge
Hudspeth's ear here, and the latter, con-
tinuing, said, my colleague makes a
suggestion as to the forgetfulness of
Father Corrigan in the instance men
toned. His response, when Mr.. Minturn
called his attention to the fact nat he
had forgotten his niece. and he had
many, shows that he was clear and
rational. In view of the lack of proof,
the appeal is dismissed and the probate
of the will sustained"
The only course open now for the dis
satisfied heirs of the late Father is to
appeal from Judge Hudspeth's decision
to the ~Prerogative Court. over which
Chancellor McGill sits as Ordinary.
They have not yet decided upon doing
so.

BUT now the Estate Gazette" asks
What will he do?" meaning President
Cleveland. 1t says
No doubt a new tariff bill will be
formulated with higher rates OF duty
fixed upon those manufactures that are
produced in the United States. This
action will be expected of the mem
bers of the new Congress by the people
who elected them for that purpose. IT
will be interesting to know what at
titude Mr.. Cleveland will assume
towards such measures. He has
always claimed to be of the people n
for the people, and since the people
have emphaticaHy declared themselves
in favor of protection, it will be his
duty, of course. as a public servant
to set the seal of his approval upon
whatever protective measure comes TO
him.
He a v he believes in the free trade
theory. and, if he is SINCERE. his belief
will prompt him ito disapprove pro-
tective measures. The battle between
personal conviction and duty will,
naturally, be a severe one, and the
question is, how will Mr.. Cleveland
act?
There can be no doubt about what Mr..
Cleveland will do. He will emphatically
veto any retrograde measure. The real
question is. what will the Republicans
do. They are committed to free sugar.
Will they give it to the people?
