On motion of Alderman Mullins
the regular order of business was
temporarily suspended, that the
council might hear Attorney Ar
mold in regard to the Spearman
case against the city. Mr.. Arnold
stated that the higher court had
reversed the decision of the lower
court, and given judgement against
the city tor the full amount sued
for. He SAID all necessary docu-
ments for new hearing had been
filed by him, and that if the city so
desired he would re-enter the case.

Mr.. Arnold was retained to further
defend the suit,
City Attorney Sam Solinsky call
ed attention to the fact that the
West Side had filed an injunction

port at the next meeting recon-
mending some policy as to the non

he building and loan associations

the building and loan associations ap-
peared yesterday afternoon complaining
that a general public notice had not been
given, SO that more representatives OF
the building and loan associations, and
even representatives of The Building and
Loan League could have been present.
Among those who appeared were Thomas
j. Lentoll. John Landrine, W. Cudllpp and
Richard Brown, the latter three represent
ing Hudson county associations. On read
ing the bill, 1t was found the words Heapi-
tai stock were used, and senator stokes
was very anxious TO know would be
the capital stock of a building and loan
association, and thought only a lew acco-
Citations had a capital stock. After a free
and easy discussion it was thought that
probably this term was used unadVlsediy.
Those who appeared outside OF the com
mittea objected to the bill because it linz
tied the amount of money to be borrowed
to sums equal to 20 per cent. of-its IN,
stock or securities. They thought that
that amount was not enough; that build
ing and loan associations could NOT DO
business under those conditions, This LED
to a discussion of building and loan meth
DDS. Senator Stokes, who is a bank
officer and interested in building and loan
associations. doubted the ability OF the
associations to raise money under the
provisions of an act Of this kind when
the banks, as a rule, would not advance
the money.
posed the bill, although he stood, sponsor
for it, it having been given to him TO
introduce by William A. Lynn, OF HACK
ensack, a prominent member and Vice
President of the State League of Build
ing and Loan Associations. He said that
It was practically a scheme to create a
building and loan clearing house which
would permit building and loan a%ssocia-
ions lending to and borrowing from each
other. Under the bills as many of the
building and loan associations wanted 1t
amended, the associations could borrow
to an unlimited amount and he said that
he had learned recently that an a%ssocia-
ton with less than 100000 capital had
borrowed and now ives si4S.000; their an
mail income being only $4,000, they have
anticipated their revenue for over three
years.
Thomas J. Lintott specifically urged the
bill because it would legalize what many
officers of building and loan associations
were doing, and that was to legalize the
loans made by officers from the banks.
AS it is now money is loaned the %associa-
tons on the endorsement of the officers

Eliza Schnebley, an elderly ~hunchback,
was a patient in ssDr.', George Meyers

nit avenue, West Hoboken. She had
paid 500 in advanee for three months
treatment. On October 2S Meyer made
up his mind that he didn't care to have
her in the house any longer and when
she went to the dining room he ordered
her to leave. She refused and he elected
her, she says, with unnecessary force.
Meyer was on trial in the General Ses-
sions Court this morning for assault and
battery. The patient was very voluble
and it was all the Court could do % re-
strain her.
Max Salinger defended Meyer. h
plaintiffs time was up a week before,
but Meyer allowed her to remain another
week. He ordered her to leave, but she
refused. Then he said she must go, and
she went. Meyer never touched her.
Two female patients in the institution
testified that Meyer just touched her
lightly on the shoulder and told her she
must leave. She went away using very
offensive language. Meyer is under in

TRENTON, Feb. Is, 1S96.-Two more
sets of constitutional amendments We're
introduced last night in the Senate. They
deal with the Judiciary and are expected
to reconcile the conflicting views of the
members of the bar, who up to this time
have not been able to agree.
One set by Mr.. VOORHEES,, makes a radi-
cal change in the judiciary of the State.
The Governor is empowered to remit
fines and grant pardons in all cases ex-
cept impeachment, but the Legislature
may commit this power to d Board of
Pardons, of which the Governor shall

TUERs AVENUE OR EKos PLACE.
Enc Dispute Between the Jones
Brothers Reyiyeu.

The old fight between John NJ. Jones,
the Finance Commissioner, and his
b rother Franklin B. Jones about the
name of a street on the hill has been re-
nswed Running from Sip avenue south
erly there is a street about four hundred
feet long. Members of the Jones family,
who are not on good terms with one
another, reside on it. John NJ. Jones has
named it Enos place and his brother in
slsts that it is Iuers avenue. Both have
street signs in front of their houses.
Sometime ago Franklin Jones made a
1rultless effort to have the Aldermen
officially name the street Tuers avenue.
John M. Jones also made an unsuccessful
effort to have Enos place established.
Now the fight comes up again because
the city is about to place street signs
on the corners. Yesterday franklin Jones
applied to the Street and Water Commits
sloners to have the sign intended for the
disputed street made Tuers avenue. The
petition was filed away, the Commission
ers not caring to get mixed up in the
souabbles of the brothers, both of whom
have influential political friends.

CUBA AND HER sYMPATHIzBRs.
The Opinion of Residents of the
Islands.

Almost every Cuban on the island is in
sympathy with the Instruction; nothing
Is more false than to suppose that only
those who have nothing to lose favor the
revolt. Rich and poor. educated and un-
EDUCATED, even the children born in the
Island OF spanish parents-all are against
Spain.
So, too, for the most, the American
ana EnglIsh colonists, wnerss of planta-
mons and managers Of mines, are the
friends of the Insurgents, and wish them
Well; and passing freely as they dc from
the country to the towns, they assist the
rebels in a hundred ways, and always at
great personal risk to themselves.
The Spaniards know tina the hand of
every man is against them. In the town
of Santiago every one is under suspicion,
and everywhere there are spies; for an
American an ~unguarded word might
mean Punishment, and for a Cuban
transportation; the news of the morning
was who had been arrested during the
night, and crowds of suspects were TAX
ing passage with every ship leaving Cuba,
no matter where is was bound for, warn
ed by some friends that they had best
leave quickly lest worse should be befall
them.
l remember speaking to the son of a
very wealthy Spaniard; he had much to
say of the greatness of Spain and of
their righteous cause, but was inter-
rupted by the news that a Spanish war
ship had been sun with all hands by
that he was speaking to a stranger. and
all that he had said; he clapped his
sides and believed with delight, an in
discretion which he instantly regretted.

can. His business lay within the Spanish
lines, and there were Spanish troops all
