The South Cove Case.

Tt will be good news to citizens to learn
that the South Cove grant case is to
come up for final adjudication in the
United States Supreme Court in Decem-
Der. Judgments are as a rule reason
ably prompt in this court and probably
the yea 1896 will see the city in full
possession of this valuable land with its
still more valuable water front.
This case is a notable example of the
laws delay. 1t has been in the courts
for at least five years. Counsel for the
city have lone everything in their power
to push it ahead, but the overcrowded
calendars of our higher courts have pre-
vented anything like an earlier dsspo-
sition of it.
All the decisions. so far, are in favor
of the city. ana the resources of the
State courts for delay have been ex-
hausted by the railroad. The Supreme
Court of the United States is, so to
speak, their last ditch. If the coming de-
cision is IN the city's favor. no further
devices of delay are open to the com
pany. The land must be at once sur
rendered to the city. The lawyers of the
city, it is understood, have no doubts
about their case, and indeed the general
impression prevails that h railway
company only took the appeal in order
10 hold a valuable tract at a low rent to
the last possible moment. 1t will be re-

It is TO be hoped that when the effort
to renew the fight for a liquor license is
made in behalf of Bamber Hall tonight,
the Aldermen who opposed it will stand
firm. and that among the absentees on
the occasion of the previous fight enough
decency will be found to kill the PROPOSE
tion definitely.
1t is true the neglect of the adjoin-
ing cemetery by the Linden Avenue
Church trustees is a crying scandal; but
two wrongs never make a right. and
the notion of opening a gin mill on the
verge of Gods Acre is repulsive to every
instinct of humanity, not to say religion.
1t is to be hoped that if the license is
granted. the residents of GreenyilIe will
bring the matter into court. as being in
the nature of a nuisance.

EVADE RESPONSIBILITY.
No one TO Blame for the Atlantic
City Disaster.
Special 10 thc Jerscu City Neaus.

LSpCtf u ~ -"e
ATLANTIC CITY, July %, ls95.-The
committee appointed by City n
to investigate the Inlet Casino disaster
of July 10, in which almost fifty per-
sons were injured, made its report last
night. The desire to learn who Is re-
sponsible for the accident is as far from
being gratifed as ever, the committee
evading the question of responsibility.
The report reads as follows:
1.-THE Committee on Protection OF
Property and Improvement, to whom
was referred the resolution recently
passed i~nstructing 1t to thoroughly in
vestigate the accident at the Casino
building n the cause thereof begs
leave to report that 1T met at the time
and place designated in said resolution
and examined witnesses. and then adj
journed and met on Thursday, the 18th
inst, and examined other witnesses.
Your committee was attended by. the
president of Council, the City SOLICITOR
ID by said resolution. n IN all about
twenty-eight witnesses were examined
under oath.
From the sworn testimony thus pro-
duced we are persuaded and hereby re-
port that the building in question was
not designed nor constructed with
strength sufficient to carry safely me
evening of July 10, and that the saad
aceident was especially caused by q
rotten pil.ng under the center OF said
building, the defective cone1,iohh o OF WAS was
not noticeable to a casual observer.
sYour committee has not attempted to
say upon whose shoulders, the response
hSditv of this accident belongs, bDcause
the instructions were simply, to investl-
cate and report the cause thereof.
