THE JERSEY CRY NEWS WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 81. 1894
PROSECUTOR WINFIELD RATIFIED
Judge Thomas Noonan objected and
Hudspeth Upheld.

Judge Hudspeth, Prosecutor Winfield and
Judge Thomas F. Noonan had a lively set-to
this morning. which resulted in the discom-
future of the Prosecutor. John Coyne was on
trial for obtaining money under false repre-
sentatives. 1t appeared that Coyne called on
Ellen McFall, a servant, employed IN the
house at No. 81 Communipaw avenue, on
July %, and told her that he was collecting
money for Father Hennessey. He asked her
if she had any money for the clergyman, ana
the servant answered that she had one dollar.
ssYou are down in my book for 50" COM
mented Coyne as he glanced at a memoran-
! dunn book.
The servant gave him the one dollar, and
told him to call ON the following Monday
and collect four dollars more. :.
The Rev. Father Hennessey testlf1ed thaJ
Coyne had not been authorized by him to
| make the collection. Several other witnesses
were called who gave unimportant evidence,
| and then Judge Noonan asked the Court TO
| direct a verdict of acquittal for the de-
| PENDANT. He alleged the Indictment was for
4 collecting money for st Patrick's Parish
| and not for Father Hennessey. 4,
In a brief speech the District Attorney
| asked the Court not to grant Judge Noonans
motion. and Judge Hudspeth granted his
request until he could recall and further ex-
| anime Ellen McFall. Mr.. Winfield asked
her several questions which she apparently
did NOS understand, and Judge Noonan OBJ
| iected to each question. And the Court
sustained the objections. Becoming tired at
last, Mr.. Winfield asked the witness direct If
| Covne had not told her he was collecting for
the parish. Judge Noonan objected and
said
'Such practice as this | object to. It's
dishonorable, and is not fair"
Judge Hudspeth sustained the objection.
Judge Noonan then declared his desire to
sum up the case. and Prosecutor Winfield
sarcastically begged him not to, because he
feared Judge Noonan was too full OF gas.
"You are all gas" retorted Judge Noonan,
"and Of that quality which goes off in fool
ish explosions"
81 must submit" retorted the Prosecutor,
ssthat there is some reason for this conclu-
sion, for, under the ruling of the Court,
am unable to ask any questions" Turning
to Judge Hudspeth with mock humility
Mr.. Winfield said further, 81 ask the Court
to ask some question in this case that it
thinks proper. Under the ruling, cannot
do so.n
The expression ON Judge Hudspeth's face
was not very pleasant when this remark was
made, and, bringing his fist down on the
bench with force, he said
81 won't have any more of this discussion,
gentlemen. I have already ruled Oh the
question"
The Judge then directed that a verdict of
acquittal be rendered by the jury.

A SIGNIFICANT SIGN.

ssAt City Attorney Weart's Office; win re-
turn in a few minutes" was a notice tackled
to the door of Mayor Wanser's Office this
morning. Every one who saw it smiled and
remarked, ssThe Mayor is a fighter for
fair"
The notice was a declaration that Mr..
Erwin was not the recognized City Attorney.
Secretary Nevin and Clerk Farrell of the
City Hall Commission were at Mr.. Wearts
office proving the specifications and con-
tracts Of contractors Connolly, Herman and
English, who are to build the new City
Hall.

STATE TAX COMMISSIONERS.
At Chancery Chambers Hearing APP
peaIs From Local Assessments.

peaIs From Local Assessments.
State Tax Commissioners Albert II. Slope,
Theodore P. HOPPER and Chas. c. Black, sat
in Chancery Chambers this morning to hear
appeals from valuations made by local as
SCISSORS in Hudson County. Messrs. w.
Brinkerhoff and James S. Erwin appeared
for the city.
The first case was that of Dodge & Com
pany, lumber dealers, whose yard lies at
West End. The Jersey City Tax Commlss-
toner's levied assessments on the companyS
personal property as follows: 1890, $4,000;
1891. 800, 900; 1892, 100000. Superln,
tendent Meeks for the company complained
that the valuation was several thousands OF
dollars too high. The statement that the
local commissioners had asked him to make
an inventory of the property was untrue.
Walter White, of New York, a lumber
merchant, thought the amount too high.
James c. Clarke, of the Jersey City Tax
Board, said that a notice had been sent to
the company asking for a valuation. lie mad
visited the yard.
Thp Woodstock Company, of Marion,
| grumbled at the valuation of their property:
The local assessors had liked the personal
property at $4,000. The company said 1t
| should be lower. The board allowed a reduc-
ton of 3d. 800.
Jersey City representatives consented TO
these reductions on lots held by fnllp
| NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. $500, 900, reduced to
SIS, 5000: valuation $1,000, reduced to S6,OO0;
| valuation $500, reduced to $500; valuation
S4.5OO, reduced to $4,000. These were al
lowed.
The large building at Marion formerly
| used as a watch factory was the next case
| Counsellor Record appealed from these
| valuations:-18o9, personal property, S5,OOO;
| real estate, $55, 000; 1891, personal property,
$1,000; real, $56, 5000; 1892, personal, S5,0O0l;
real, $50, 600. These figures were too high
he asked that the figure should be reduced to
S25, 200.
Mr.. C.. C. Jewell testified that the prop
erty was difficult to sell, and he believed
that if it was sold it might bring $4,000 to
S45, 900. The lots on which the buildings
| stand are worth about $275 each. The
building would be worth to anyone who
wants it about S75, 900. At present its value
is difficult to determine.
Mr.. Erwin for the city called Counsellor
J. P. Northrup. Witness said that he repre-
| sented the American Exchange Bank Com
pany, which had a second mortgage on the
| property of S44,044.S2, and the United
| life had a mortgage on it for S26,500 The
| buildings and land were sold at sherIff's sale,
| on August Is, 1892, and bid in for $72, $50.
| There was a lively competition at the sale.
Witness said that there were many bid,
ders. At that time there were many people
who wanted to buy the property. This mat
ter was laid over until the afternoon.
Concerning the appeal OF the'owners OF the
| factory, it was openly admitted that at the
| sale in August, there was a syndicate from
| Maine, ready to buy the place for Sl00,O00
| The city's valuations were on all hands ad-
| mitted to be fair-rather under than ovel
the mark.

and was only convicted of simple assault

Yesterday, in the Court of General Sessions.

BEE sTlNGs FOR RHEUMATISM.

The theory that the virus of the bee sting
is an Invaluable remedy for acute rheuma-
tism mas received most unquestionable con-
frmation from the practices Of the country
people of Malta. Bees are said to be plenti-
full on the island, and the virtue of the sting
as a cure for rheumatism has been long es-
tablished. 1t is, in fact, said to have been q
common practice for generations past to re-
sort to this remedy in all severe cases, the
results being most favorable.-Matto Stand

What Causes Pimples?

Clogging of the pores or mouths of the seba-
eeous glands with sebum or oily matter.
The plug oftsebum in the centre of the pimple
Is called a ~blackhead, grub, or comedone.
Nature will not allow the clogging of the pores
to continue long, hence,
Inflammation, pain, swelling and redness,
later pus or matter forms, breaks or is opened,
the plug comes out and the pore is once more
free.
There are thousands of these pores in the race
alone, any one of which is liable to become
clogged by neglect OF disease.
