building has not kept pace with the move

made, but Mr.. Love does not want TO
discourage the beautifying of down town
residences by piling on assessments. II
the valuations in the First, Second and

at present Mr.. Love will be
content. During the year a number
of valuable houses have been destroyed
by fire. and two or three large factories
from which a fair revenue was derived
have been burned down and unfortu-

PRICES INCREASED UPTOWN.
In the Fourth and Fifth districts there
is different condition of affairs The
Boulevard has encouraged building, and
the demand for small residences has
also caused considerable speculation.
The prices of lots have advanced, and
generally valuations have taken an up

increase as he deems fair and just. He
is familiar with Hill property and will
no doubt place the valuations at a figure
satisfactory to the majority of property
owners who are interested in the adj '

with the nI-fated tug. Both tugs were
headed down stream when the acci-

or the other Of the Captains mistook
the signals. The Chapman struck the
other tug fairly in the stern The Smith

ZELLA NIC0LAUS' SUIT.
Saccial to TIC .Jerscu Gin Ne,rs

TRENTON. May 2, 1Ss5.--A number
of papers in the suit of Rozella Ruhman
known as Zella Nicolaus, against George
J. Gould. were filed in the Supreme
Court this morning. Among the docu-
nents in the declaration which says
stripped of its legal verbiage, that in
April 1888. the plaintiff was possessed as
her own property OF check or deposit
certificate of the value of $4,000. At
Jersey City she afterwards lost the GER
tificate and George j. Gould found it.
'Yet the defendant well knowing the
certificate to be the property of the
plaintiff, but contriving and fraudulentiy
intending craftily and subtilely to de-
ceive and defraud the plaintiff, has not
as yet delivered said certificate to said
plaintiff. although often requested so to
do by PLAINTIFF many times before the
commencement of this suit. but has re-
fused to do and has converted and dis
posed of said certificate to his own use
Another paper in the case is a petition
reciting that the plaintiff is miner,
being only nineteen years of age, and
praying that the Court VIII appoint
Alexander Simpson of Jersey City as her
next friend to prosecute the suit. The
Court has granted this petition and the
defendant must answer within thirty
days of the service made upon him at
Communipaw a few days ago.
