GIVE THE MAYOR TIME
Street and Water Board to Ex-
tend the Limit on the Water
Specifications Altera-
tions Needed.

The time allowed Mayor Wanser in
which to approve or reject the new water
specifications expires Saturday morning.
1t was announced that His Honor would
not take any official action for some
time. More time is to be granted him.
The Street and Water Commissioners
will meet tomorrow, and it is understood
that an extension of at least another
week will be granted b. resolution. The
specifications are so binding N many re-
spects and regarded as so impracticable by
skilled engineers that His Honor Is
inclined to suggest one or two amend
ments to the Street and Water Com
missioners for their consideration. The
Mayor has received an immense batch
of complaints from proposed bidders;
but up to the present time an unex-
planned lack of interest has been taken
in the important documents by the pub
lie at large.
The Mayors dations have
been told at length in THE News" They
are the standard of purify and the clause
prohibiting the sale of any of The water
to any other city, town or township along
the route of the proposed line The
Mayors point is that the cost of the
plant and the price water will be fur
nished to this city will be greatly re-
duced if the estimated surplus of 10000,
600 gallons daily is placed at the disposal
of the contractor for sale.
AS soon as the. objec c-io,laole features
of the specifications are removed the
contract will be pushed through as
speedily as possible.

Special to tho Jersey City Neers.


TRENTON, Feb. Il. 1S95.-The session

A STRANGE CHANG ERY SUIT.
Reopening o the Case Against Estate
of Ex-GOY. Price DcecaaeG.

OF ELXsGOV. REEcc DcCcaSeGs
Chancellor McGill this morning. heard
argument on an application to revive
the old suit against the late Ex-Governor
Rodman NJ. Price, brought by Samuel
Forrest in 1854.
A strange feature of the case is that
the principal men in the suit are dead.
Ex-Governor Bedle defended Ex-Governor
Price all through the contest, and botn
are dead. Samuel Forrest, who institut-
ed the suit, is dead. His wife is now
prosecuting it through Frank L. Hacketc
of Washington, ID. c.
Counsellor Flavel MCGEE is ably de-
Tending Governor Prices heirs interests,
and Mr.. Cortlandt Parker OF Newark is
guarding THE interests of Receiver Bor-
cheriing.
Tha Forrest claim was brought about
In an enterprise with Mr.. Price, made
an assignment to Samuel Forrest. He,
finding that Mr.. Price was inde2eed to
recovered ''s judgnent. The Judgment was was
returned unsatistied, Mr.. Price profess
ing that he had no property on which a
levy could be made, the action was
dropped.
II appears that in 1S4s when the late
Ex-Governor was a purser IN the United
States Navy, man named Van Nos
trand was appointed his successor. He
met his successor dn California, and has
proven that he gave him S75,0O0 of his
own money f0r the temporary assist
ance Of the Government. Van Nostrand
did not use the money for the Govern
nlent, but lost it iii bad speculation. Mr..
Price made several efforts to collect the
SIS, 600 from the Government.
On February 49, 1891, by a special act
of Congress the money was paid, MIR.
Price collecting all but S2S, coo of 1t, which
was tied up by Lawyer Hackett for
Samuel Forrest, who thought 1T good
time to secure a satisfaction of the S17,-
900 judgment.
The case came up before Chancellor
McGill and he ordered Mr.. Price to sat-
isfy the Judgment. He refused, was ar
rested, cast into the Hacliensack Jail,
and finally died on June Z, 1894. The
ether deaths mentioned previously de.
layed operations until this time.
Mr.. Cortlandt Parker, for Mr.. Borcher-
ling, who in the meantime had been
appointed Receiver for Err Prices es-
tate, argued for the satisfaction Of the
Forrest judgment and minor claims
against the estate. Mr.. Hackett argued
in a similar strain
and eloquent defence, for which he was
congratulated by the opposing counsel
He laid great stress upon the fact that
the Congressional act was SO worded
that the $4,000 paid Mr.. Price was given
in the form of gratuity to protect him
and his heirs from want In considera-
ton of the noble service he had render
ed the United States. EIe said that no
law would hold such mans heirs re-
sponsible for a claim OF such a chars
acter. E1
The Chancellor took the papers In the
case and reserved his decision.

MYSTERY OF A BOGUS WILL.

BOSTON, Feb. IA, 1854 bogus will
has been found on file in the Middlesex
County Probate Court at East Cam
bridge. 1t purports to be the last will
md testment of the late Rufus Morse of
Natick, and for three weeks it's exl5-
tence has threatened to take away for
.une of about $4,000 from Edgar S..
Hayes, a nephew of Morse, who was
named as the principal heir in a previ-
Gus will
It IS dated fourteen years later than
the will which was probated and di-
vides the property among eight heirs,
but makes no mention OF the nephew
The origin Of the bogus will Is a mys-
cry. 1t came to the court in the mail
rom persons unknown. The eight heirs
mentioned have taken advantage of every
possible means to secure evidence to en-
able the court to set aside the previous
viii and establish the new one, and
trough this movement the discovery
was made yesterday that the will was q
bogus one, and it will be thrown out of
