On July 2 last at Trenton the Chancellor
appointed as temporary receivers Andrew

gument this afternoon was to make the
temporary receiverstip permanent.
In his Petition Mr.. Patterson said he is
a stakeholder in the paper besides being
treasurer. He holds 1.TO half shares of
preferred stock and 2,1s6 quarter shares
of common stock. The capital stock of the
company is $3.50, Coo. divided into $3.50. coo of
preferred stock and 100000 of common

paper, ne told the Chancellor, is insolvenr,
having debts amounting to S3t5. 600. The
machinery. printing presses. paper, type

Laying Tracks in Hoboken Nearly
Causes a RIot.

The laying of the tracks of the Jersey
City, Hoboken and Rutherford Railway
Company through First and Second
streets, Hoboken, causes a multitude Of
troubles. Ever since Thursday night,
when the gang of Italians began the
work, there has been pickering n
strife among the workers. the property
owners and the police. While the work
was going OF large crowds have sur
rounded the scene every night and in
some cases have attempted to oppose
the progress of the job.
On Thursday night there was some
trouble and not q little excitement.
Friday night there was a small sized
riot which required the efforts of the
police to queu, at the cali of Acting
Mayor Offerman. The police charged the
crowd three times.
Last night after twelve o'clock the
work was begun on First street and
again the crowd collected and the pros
and cons of the much vexed trolley dues-
ton were freely discussed.
Max Schill.ng, one of the strongest
DIRECTORS on First street, had his place
lighted up and the crowd loudly de-
bounced the work that was going on.
They offered no violence, however. 1t is
