TWO LITTLE TAILoRs FIGHT.
The Family of One Alone Saves Him
From Punfsbment.

Franz w. Lenz, tailor, thirty-two
years old, of No. 523 Simms street. West
Hoboken, was a prisoner in Justice
Douglass court this morning, charged
by Peter Chankalian, another tailor, of
No. S45 Central avenue, this city, with
assault and battery. 1t appears that
LEM worked for Chankalian, and took
a vest of a customer that had been re-
paired, to the customer and collected
the money He failed to hand it over
to ChanlSalian, and when the latter de-
manded it from him, Lenz hit him in
the eye with his fist
Chankalian appeared in court with a
beautifully decorated eye, which he ex-
Inhibited as evidence of the assault.
Lenz admitted having given ChankaHan
the biack eye, but said that he was COM
PEELED to hit him in self-defense He
said that when Chankalian demanded
the money he drew a loaded revolver
upon him, and he did not wait until it
Went off, but struck him quick and then
took the pistol away. Judge Douglass
held him in 500, and he waived the right
to be- tried by jury and asked for a
trial before Judge Douglass.
The Judge heard his case Immediately
He said that he had a wife and three
children and made So last week and SIS
the week before.
Judge Douglass suspended sentence,
owing to the small amount Lenz made
and then the fact that Chankalian did
not pay him,

TOWN OF RUTHERF0RD'S DEPOSITS
Citizens VIII Certiorari the Transfer
nftE,a Gnrou~h,s Monies

Counsellor W. H. Corbin this morning
informed Vice Chancellor Stevens, in
Chancery Chambers, that the order to
show cause why restraining order
should not issue to prohibit the Borough
of Rutherford from changing it's deposits
from the Peoples Bank in Passaic to the
Rutherford National Bank, had been
withdrawn.
Counsellor Addison Ely, for Oliver Mar
win and others. who instituted the suit
preferred to certiorari the resolution of
the Council authorizing the transfer and
notice was served on these officials
this afternoon that the matter is now
before the Supreme Court for review
The fight is over about $4,000 of bor-
ough deposits hitherto placed in Passaic
bank Last year a new bank was in
stituted, and among the stockholders and
directors appeared the names of Mayor
Turner and some of the Councilmen.
They were anxious to place the city's
monies in the new bank. But some of
the citizens raised a mighty kick be-
cause the Passaic Bank was an old es-
tablshed one and had paid per cent. for
the city's deposits, whereas this new
bank in Rutherford had small deposits
and no experience in the banking busi-
ness as their petition said. The mat
ter will be fought out in the Supreme
Court

neighborhood. No trace of her could be
found, and the case was finally reported
to the police. -
While the almost frantic parents We're
securing the neighborhood friends who
nelleved the child had fallen in the canal
began to drag it. The parents looked on
in horror. and as the minutes passed no
sign of the child was found. they be-
gan to hope she had not been drowned.
Hundreds of people gathered to watch the
men who Were dragging the canal. At
TWO O'Clock the little body was stirred
up. 1t was drawn to the bank. The
frantic mother seized it. elasped it to
her bosom and rushed into her home.
She was finally quieted by neighhors and

dertaker. This is. the first drowning ac-
cldent in the canal this season.

joining the hotheads of the West and South
who threaten to obliterate party lines and
fight for a 55-cent dollsr.
The Populists of New Jersey are argu-
ing that the sixteen to one sentiment is
growing in this State, and that. they as
the only. party that has been sincere on
silver will capture from 5000 to 5000 votes
this fall. They only polled 1900 last No
vember but the money standard was not
the issue then, and they are exceedingly
jubilant over the outlook which has some
local effect among the Democrats. The
well meaning men of the party are out
spoken ON the results that will follow the
adoption of a silver platform. They pre-
dict that the Democrats in the cities will
desert the Democratic party.
The New Jersey delegation is pledged
by the action of the Democratic State
Convention, but that IS not bothering
them. 1t will be the old query:-ssWhat' s

Robert Davis, the Democratic leader Of
the county, has again been victimizeSl.
This time by a thief and detectives are
following a clue which Mr.. Davis trusts
will result in nothing><A few evenings ago
while the usual number of men were in
his private office Of the Jersey City Sup

S1e0 in cash and a gold watch valued al
covered THAT the desk had been forced in
the night and watch aHd money stolen.
The police were notified, not because
of the value of the watch or the money,
but because Mr.. Davis mas been h5t pretty
hard recently by people whom he has be-
friended and IN some instances supported.
Suspicion rests upon one Of his proteges.
