sUHUBERT's JUBILEE.

Everything Nearly Ready for the
First Concert This Season.
The Schubert Glee Club is now putting on
the finishing touches to the numbers for the
programme for the first concert on the goth
instant. This is the tenth season of the club,
and the Executive Committee hopes to make
it d jubilee year. The membership has been
very largely increased since last year, and
the patrons will be surprised to see SO many
new faces. 1t is all good material, however,
most Of them having been ain in Trinity
choir, New York.
There is one number on the irst pro-
gramme which is sure to please a Jersey
City audience, it is the old melody of
"Lorely," and under the arrangement which
the club will sing the air is taken up by each
part in different places and accompanied by
the three other parts. 1t makes one of the
sweetest and most melodious of numbers.
The club has engaged for the first concert
Miss Katharine Hike, the well known So
prano, and also a string orchestra from
Seidls players. An effort is ALSO being
made to engage Mr.. Henry Schmidt, the
violinist.

the Writ.
EAST JERSEY OBJECTS
Special to the Jerssu City Nssrs.

TRENTON. NOV. 10, 1895.-At a late
hour yesterday afternoon the Supreme
Court heard the argument on the appii-
cation of George O'Tenni and Charles M.
Evans for a writ of Certiorari to review
the proceedings awarding the East
Jersey Water Company a contract Tor a
temporary supply of water for Jersey
City. In arguing for HI work Judge
Abel /. Smith said hat bids were IN
vited for a specific supply, but the bid
ders were allowed to offer as many sup
Elemental proposals, to be attached TO
their bids, as they desired, in which sup
Elemental proposal a new method OF sup
ply could be offered for the consideration
of the Board. COUNSEL contended that
in this connection the advertisement did
not definitely or positively state just
what was to be bid for and was, THERE
fore, void, as the act of 1871 prescribes
that no contract for works or materials
shall be entered into kept after the ad-
vertisement, the contract to be awarded
to the lowest responsible biddeds.
WAS THE ONLY BIDDER.
The East Jersey Water Company was
the only bidde who put in a supplement-
al proposal, and was accepted by the
city. After the award for the temper
airy supply had been contaminated, the
Board of Street and Water Commissioners
proceeded to award a contract to another
for a permanent supply for the
period of twenty-five years at the rate
of S43 per million gallons though there
was a bid submitted by another COM
pany for $780, rs per million gallons, a saw
ing to the city of between Sc and 81 a
day.
Counsel also submitted that the supple
mental bid in question was not in re,

by law; hat the price asked for ana al
tends that the award was made under
the act of 1888, to be found ON page $50

of the water supply to make and enter

The contract in question was awarded
on August Is last and signed on October
u. In the meantime no application for
defendants commended tina compliments
are in laches. that the granting OF a
writ at this time would be ~prejudicial
to the interests of the mpa as con-
siderable work has been done under the
contract.
The applicants for the writ said that
they were willing to have the writ issue
without a stay, but the East Jersey
Company's representatives objected to
this, as under their contract they are
ed by a stay. The Court took the papers
and reserved its decision until today.

A FLORAL KALEIDOSCOPE.

Charming Cantata at Bergen Baptist
CIufch-Grcat Crowd.
The entertainment and cantata given in
the chapel of the Bergen Baptist Church last
night by the Y. p. S. G. E. was enjoyed by
a large audience. A mistake was made in
not holding it in the main auditorium. as the
chapel was uncomfortably crowded
1.-THE Festival of Flowers" the calltata
presented, was a very pretty little piece, in
which over ~thirty-iye children participated.
Each child carried a bouquet of flowers, and
as they marched in and around each other
upon the stage the picture suggested a floral
kaleidoscope. The ladies who drilled the
children deserve great credit. They were
Misses E. }. Tully, E. Shopp and B. Van
Winkle.
Besides the cantata there was q short en-
tertainment. at which Miss Kortright gave
several piano solos, Mr.. Walter Smith re-
cited and Mr.. Benjamin Old sang.

a VERBAL error in our sporting
column. yesterday, a~rrogatsd to "The
News" credit to which 1T is not entitled.
and which 1t hastens to assign where 1t
belongs. The unfortunate phrase was
that which described the Thanksgiving
Day bicycle parade as being arranged
by 'The News" This parade is being
arranged by the Clio Wheelmen. and,
we believe, admirably arranged. The
News" has absolutely nothing to do
with the management. 1t has contrib
uted a couple of prizes, and that is all.
The only claim 1.-THE News" has to
make is that it first suggested the idea
of SIGNALLING the opening Of the road
with such a display. All the rest is the
work of the active organization which
has the work in charge. and 1.-THE News
wishes it every success.

NEARING The END.
Water Certiorari Testimony
Resumed in the Law
Library Today.
COMPANY'S CASE ALMOST CLOSED
Col. Church Says the Jersey City
Shed is Better Than the
Cratol

Iii the law library this morning the
taking of testimony in the certiorari
OF the award to the Jersey City Water
Company of a water contract for Jersey
City was resumed before Supreme Court
Commissioner John A. Nugent.
The defendant company continued its
side of the case by calling to the witness
chair Colonel Benjamin S. Church, a
hydraulic engineer of national fame and
connected with the New York Aqueduct
Board, and at various times with the
water boards of Montreal. Macon Los
Angeles, Louisville, Lexington, and half
a score more cities. He, like the other
experts, produced a bunch of tables,
complied by himself. showing compaTi-
sons of croton and other watersheds
with that proposed by the ersey City
Water Company for the city's supply.
How does the Rockaway watershed
compare with the Croton?" asked ex-
Senator Edwards, of counsel for the
Jersey City Water Company, after Col.
Church had fully explained the big shed
which supplies New York.
''In some respects it is more advan-
tageous," replied the expert.
Name these advantages said Mr.. Ed
wards.
BETTER THAN THE CROTON.
Col. Curch replied that the Rockaway
shed had more suitable ground storage
and there was on the Rockaway shed a
large percentage of wooded ground, and
this latter quality of ground was good
because the trees retained the winter
SHOWS for Subsoil storage.
Then" Col. Church continued, your
Rockaway watershed is higher than the
Croton and, therefore. you will catch
more rainfall. O know it is a phen-
omenon that the higher the elevation the
greater is the amount of water collected
in the streams"
ASTONISHING COMPARISON.
age area of New York's shed on the
Croton is 800 spare miles, and that gives
1900, 00O,0 900 gallons storage, or 209, COG, 600
gallons lion 81. to ors Zach h tn square uassy c nile. ua The
Company is sixty-five square miles
yielding an estimated storage capacity
per square mile of 100, 900. 900 gallons, a
excellence of the Rockaway shed offered
by the Jersey City Water Company.
Engineer Croes having during his tes-
timony p~ooh-poohed the plan of sub
merged dams in the reservoirs proposed
by the defendants, and remarked that
he never heard of any being in operation,
Col. CHURCH, when questioned on that
dams, were recommended by the highest
authorities, and are now in operation in
Massachusetts,, and are in course of erec-
this country, principally in the Croton
reservoirs.
This closed the direct examination, and
animation on the accuracy Of the experts
tables. This didn't last long. and moth
ing of interest was extracted from Mr..
Corbin's ~ingeniously, framed queries.
tomorrow, when practically the case for
the defendants will be closed.

The Epidemic of Professional Crime
The reign of crime in New York and
its vicinity is becoming a most terrible
paper appears without its account OF
a burglary. a highway robbery. a hold
up by professional criminals of the most
desperate description. We never hear OF
arrests for these crimes. or rather there
are arrests enough but no convictions.
New York City seems to be the centre
and -eadquarte of the d~esperadoes.
The city itself is given over to cracks
men and highwaymen. One day a saloon
is held up. The next day a man is
robbed of $50 in Central Park. Bur-
glaries take place every might've or
three of them. The police are impo-
tent. They have no clues. no ideas
They act as if bewildered.
And the epidemic extends to the sub
urbs. In Jersey City or Hoboken, we
have at least a burglary a day, and
in several instances the marauders have
shot at citizens who attempted to de-
fend their property. Here, again there
are no arrests. Yesterday, the police
gathered in a couple of toughs. Last
night it was demonstrated that they
had not the right ones, for again a
citizen was shot at in his own house
by a burglar who was attempting to
break in.
WHAT is the matter? What is the
cause of this outbreak of professional
crime2 Are we beginning to feel the
loss of Thomas T. Byrnes at the head of
the New York police?
