Cornelius Ferguson. Supervisor OF the town
OF New Utrecht. whose sway Is almost as COM
plete as John Y. McKane's was In Gravesond.
may soon be called upon to explain some OF
his Official acts. The Taxpayers Association
Of the town have discovered alleged irregulari-
ties and they propose to have them investt-
gated by the Grand Jury.
In addition to his other Offices In the town
Supervisor Ferguson is Shore Inspector. and
he is also trustee Of the Inebriates' Homo at
Fort Hamilton. There is q bill before the Leg
isiature to abolish the Shore Inspectorship.
and also deprive him OF the power OF appoint
ing the Chief Of Police OF the town.
Mcksne and Ferguson were fast personal
and political friends until 1SSS when FerRue-
son refused to follow McKane into the Re pu bill
can ranks. Since then their relations have not
been so pleasant. Ferguson owns much prop
erty in New Utrecht and Is reported to be worth
twice as much as Mckane.
The Acts OF Ferguson and the New Utrecht
election inspectors at the recent election did
not receive any especial attention from the
extraordinary Grand Jury which Investigated
the Gravesend frauds.

for the use OF the Armory on the evening
Of February 22d for the purpose OF hold

The committee were Informed that accord
ing TO a recent ruling OF the Grounds
and Buildings Committee. the Armory
was not under charge Of the officers. The
petition was endorsed, with the statement
that there was no objection among the
members of the regiment to granting the
use of the Armory on this night.
Colonel Jones laid facts and figures be-
fore the meeting, which showed that in
the past five years the membership OF the
regiment had almost entirely changed.
and that while the membership had been
increased, there were only about forty
men now on the tOilS "io hdu seINtu lor

a remarkable fact, and showed that an
evil existed somewhere which should be
remedied. Captain Tenant suggested
that nothing was worth having unless II
cost something. and were a small initia-
ton fee charged each new member he
would probably be influenced by that TO
remain the entire five years. Captain
Bossieux and Captain Spence both advo-
Gated this plan. and the former made a
motion that a committee OF five be APP
pointed TO devise means for impressing
on a recruit the necessity for serving the
full Ave years. This motion was carried.
and Colonel Jones stated that he would
appoint the committee by letter.

TO whether the committee Will DO able 10
reach q conclusion at that time.
1t il believed that at least ono Demo-
cratic member OF the Senate judiciary
COMMITTEES who opposed Hornblower Will
favor the nomination, and there Is IA
probability that one Republican, who
voted for Hornblower, will oppose Peck
ham. and there are also others who may
change.
The chances at this time are better.
however. for q change In Peckham
favor than against, and the prospect for
a favorable report when the report IL
made are consequently improved TO that
extent. Opponents Of Mr.. Peckham recog-
nize this fact and declare that they are
prepared for It. as they expect TO gain In
