vices from Constantinople say that three
Mussulmans have been arrested there

quantity of arms were found and seized
1t is stated that a plot against the Sui
tan's palace has been discovered.
The Albanian guards at the Yildiz Kiosk
refused to perform their duties on Mon
day night and it is supposed that they
had been won over by The Mussulluan
committees. The rebellious guards were
disarmed and eight of them were sent
to Anatolia, where they were interned.
The advices say that discomfort with the
present regime has become so marked
that events of startling Importance may
be expected at any time.
menian committees against the Sultan
is believed to be imminent, and it is ex-
pected that joint manifesto will short
ly be issued declaring that their united
efforts will henceforth be directed against
the existing system of government in
Constantinople. The fnancialSsituation
in Constantinople is causing general un-
easiness; an important fall in Turkish
securities together with excessive specu-
lations, especially in mines, contributing
greatly to this state of affairs. There
have already been several cases of en-
forced closing of accounts on the Galata
Bourse and few minor failures.

agreed that the roof will not have to

rendered water tight by having some
of the edges and the tiles in the vicin-

The Commissioners say that the leaks
that have not yet bcHn stopped up are
located near the edges CO the roof. This
shows, it is claimed. that l. the edges
and fashings are fixed in better condition
that the trouble will be remedied. The

Pennsylvanfa OH cials R efuse TO Make
Concessions for Trolley Privileges.

SDecial to the jersey Citl NearS.
BURLINGTON, Nov. l, 1S95.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad has been trying for a
long time to get permission to extend its
trolley road, which runs from Mount delly
to East Burlington, into this city. The pro-
posed route is through Broad street, on which
are placed its steam tracks. Board street is
one of the principal thoroughfares of the
town
Many of the residents there were opposed
to granting this additional privilege and re-
fused to give their consent The Pennsyl-
vania people then made change in their
schedule by which fast trains do not stop at
the main station, but at East Burlington, a
half mile away committee OF the City
Council visited General Sewell, who acted as
spokesman for the railroad people, and asked
him what concessions could be made for the
privilege asked.
Mr.. Sewell stated that the company would
do nothing more than place iron poles for
the wires and put automatic electric bells at
the crossings.
This did not meet the approval of Council,
which was disposed to favor the company,
and Wednesday night it was decided to
postpone action indefinitely.

Hoboken Land & Improvements Co.
May Assert Hts Right TO Use Steam.
There were no new developments in the
certiorari proceedings begun before Judge
Lippincott by several Hoboken property
owners who are opposed to the construction
of trolley freight line along the river front
and through the upper section of Hudson
street. The order granted by the Court is
returnable tomorrow, and pending ltiga-
ton it will act as a stay to prevent the COM
pany from continuing the work. The COM
pany, of which Mr.. Richard Stevens, of the
Hoboken Land and Improvement Company,
is at the head, maintains that it has legal
right to run steam road along the route
covered by the franchise granted by the
Council. 1t desires, however, to use cleo
tricity instead of steam as motor power.
Mr.. Stevens said this morning that If the
ordinance is upset the company will assert
its right to operate a steam road when OF
course the park site offered by them to the
CITY in lieu of tho franchise will be with
drawn. Hudson street, through portion of
which the company desires to operate, was
dedicated to Hoboken by the Hoboken Land
and Improvement Company. MI Stevens
holds that when that grant was made the
company reserved the right to operate
steam road through it when they saw ut.

Sat a Day and a Night Among Her
Effects In the Street.
Special p the Jersey City Neacs.


- CAMDEN, Nov. l. 1S95.-In the midst of
a few miserable household effects, which had
been carried out of little shanty she called
home, Mrs. Annie Miles, an aged an eccen-
tric woman, known all over Camden as
ssMommie Worms" sat through all of
Wednesday, Wednesday night and part of
yesterday. The poor woman has penchant
for cultivating silk worms, and from this
comes the name by which she is known.
For several years she lived alone with her
silk spinners in rickety building on the
river front at the head of Third street. She
was the natural butt of all the pranks of the
cruel boys of the neighborhood. One night
her rickety abode was set afire and burned
to the ground, along with all the silk worms
and the poor woman's effects. She barely
escaped. Efforts were then made to have
her sent to the Almshouse, but she refused
to go.
Mrs. Miles secured a little old house on
Railroad avenue, near Van Hook street,
where she soon had new brood of worms
and where she collected few household eff
fects. For two years past the landlord had
tried to effect her removal because she paid
no rent her lawyer, Jonn w. w aftman,
fought the proceedings from month to month,
and such are the ramifications of the laws Of
New Jersey that he succeeded in keeping her
in the house all that time. On Wednesday,
however, she was evicted by constable and
her goods were set in the street.
The aged woman took seat in one of her
old chairs and there she remained, declaring
that she would stay and die before she would
move. Stay she did, end despite renewed
persuasions, she steadfastly refused to go to
the almshouse. Kind-hearted neighbors gave
her food, but she declined to accept their
shelter She remained in the same position
th1Sugh all of Wednesday night with some
quilting thrown about her emaciated figure.
When the rain began to fall yesterday peo-
pie of the neighborhood again urged the
woman to go to the almshouse. but in vain.
She was given temporary shelter from the
storm in one of the little houses in the vicin-
ity, while the rain poured mercilessly down
upon her household goods.

touching upon the latter he would only
quote from the official records of the
state, as he understood Mr. Griggs in
