Placing the maps of 1884 and those of 1896
together Mr.. Edwards showed how the
railroads had encroached on the city, ''and
the time Will not be far distant when they
will own all the wafer front of Jersey
City"
Then reading the figures of Jersey

up; but this was because the Board of
Finance puts in its tax levy its bonded
indebtedness and pays it.
Showing map of the water front Of Hud-

the railroads and big corporations had
seized that valuable land Tables show
ing values of railroad property in other
States were submitted to the end that
railroads are taxed less in New Jersey
than in any other State. On account of
its terminal facilities the railroads in this
State have more valuable property than
any other of a similar character in other
States. Quoting the earnings per mile on
roads of New York and Illinois, Mr.. Ed
wards showed that a mile of New Jersey
road was more valuable than in either
New York or Illinois.
Mr.. Edwards, proposed to the Commits
sioners that the State should give up
its tax on second-class property or rail-
road property outside of main stem as
assessed by the State Board and the
municipalities should tax that property

M'GRAW Was DISCHARGED.
Doherty Did Not Identify Him With
Certainty.
City Attorney Brown Preferred Let
ting Him Go Free to Putting the
County to Useless Expense.

Ed. McGraw was examined in the Po-
Ice Court yesterday on the charge Of
assault to murder j. i. Doherty end
discharged. The assault was a most
unwarranted attempt ut taking human
life, but unfortunately no one witnessed
it who is able to identify the would be
|! assassin.
Dohe~tv testified that he was sitting
at the freight sheds on the night of Feb
ruary 24th, talking to another man.
when a man came over and accused him
of calling him names. Witness told him
that he had not done so, and that it was
boy who did it, and that he Ooherty)
had no motive for doing it as he did not
know him. The man said he "had
mind to give it to him anyhow" and
soon AFTER pulled out a knife and
slashed witness in the throat. He then
ran away.
! William Mcnamara testified to hav-
ing seen a man and woman leaving the
spot and going across the street He
thought the man was taller than Nc
Graw and had a heavier mustache. He
did not know McGraw, or how tall he
was, and the City Attorney mixed him
UP badly by asking him why he thought
| the man was taller than McGraw If he
| had not seen him standing up. He did
not know why he thought so. He had
never seen McGraw before to-day, he
testified but when questioned closely by
the City Attorney he acknowledged that
| he had seen him twice before, while in
jail, although he denied being shut up
in the same cell with him. He did not
remember, either, telling the officers
that McGraw looked like the man, or
that he thought he was the man.
! Ed Smith testified that he met Nc
Graw at the corner of Second and K
streets and McGraw asked him to go
over to his (McGraw's) room and tell
Mary that he would rot be home till
late because he mad had trouble
Smith was a very unwilling wit
ness. and the City Attorney
had hard work to draw him out.
He fatty contradicted himself sew
eral times He said that no one had
| threatened him, but did not explain Why
he had asked the City Attorney ques-
ticns indicating that fact.
Jailer John P. MeAIanus testified that
when McGraw was brought to Doherty
for Identification he said he thought
| McGraw was the man who cut him, but
| he was not absolutely certain.
/ McGraw was discharged, the City At
| torney saying that. although he thought
he was the right man, vet. in the face
/ OF McManus testimony, he did not
| think a conviction could be had. and in
| that case the county would be put to a

Tables of Air Temperature and Sem
sible Temperature.
The following letter from Willis L.
Moore, Chief of the Weather Bureau,
is self lf-explanatory:
United States Department of Agricult-
ure, Office of Chief of Weather Bu-
reau, Washington, d. c., February
20, 1896.
Eds. Record d-Union''-Dear Sir: In
your paper of the 10th instant / no.
ticed an interesting editorial in refer
ence to the publication of sensible tenn
perature readings by the Weather Bu-
reau. Your informant did not give you
full information as to what this bu-
reau is doing in the matter. The in
PRODUCTION Of sensible temperature read
ings in the. telegraph reports of the
Weather Bureau was inaugurated by
my order on September 20, 1895, and by
recent orders these readings will be
published at every station of the bu-
reau from which a weather map is is
sued. The air temperature readings
and the sensible temperature readings
will be published side by side
This will do justice to a large area of
our country that heretofore has not
been properly represented by the Gov
ernment meteorological publications. In
other words the suppression of half of
the truth is equivalent to falsehood,
and the publication of only air tempera-
lures misrepresents the climate of the
vast arid regions of the West, because
in such regions there is a great differ
ence between the air temperature read
ings and the sensible temperature read
ings, which latter is the temperature
felt by animal life
have no doubt that during the COM
ing summer many of our great Eastern
cities will be quite surprised at the
story that our weather maps will tell.
This is a matter in which, for a long
time, have taken much interest, and
L am pleased that it fell to my lot to
make the innovation in our service, es-
pecially as the United States was the
first country to inaugurate this feature
in its Weather Bureau service. Very
respectfully,

A QUESTION OF ECONOMY.
ali County Hospital Supplies Will be

But the Supervisors Do Not Believe It
Will Result in ANY Saving

that the Chairman communicate with

why the Capital Telephone Company
was not accorded equal privileges with
the Sunset Company in using the rail-
road bridge across the river for its
wires.
On motion of Supervisor Todd, the
Chairman was authorized to make the
inquiry requested.

tracts be requested to furnish a sched-

prior thereto had already been paid for.
ARTICLES FOR THE HOSPITAL.
The following resolution was present
ed by Supervisor Curtis:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
board that it would be more economical
for the county that the bids for supply
| ing the County Hospital with the differ
ent articles needed therein be called Cor.
Therefore the Hospital Committee be
| directed to make out a full list of all
articles that are not already let by con-
tract and advertise for bids for supply
| ing the same
The resolution was adopted.
| Chairman Morrison said he did not
| think the county would gain by it, as
many articles vary in price from day to
day, or week to week, but as the Grand
Jury had recommended it he was in ia
vor of giving that system a fair trial.
For that reason he voted for the resolu-
ton, but believed the county would lose
by it.
BOARD OF PRISONERS.
| Supervisor Dreman moved that at the
next Injecting Oh lHe DOafu, IN April, the
matter of the cost of feeding the county
prisoners be considered, and the Sheriff
be requested to appear for examination
in regard thereto. He did not know
that the prisoners could be fed any
cheaper than at present but as several
persons had declared otherwise he de-
sired to have the matter inquired into.
The motion was adopted unanimous
| ~. and the board then took recess till
10 o'clock this morning.
