ATLANTIC 0ITY's HALL PLANS.

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 70, 1ss6.-rhe
results Of the conference yesterday morn
ing between city officials and the Penn
sylyania Railroad oficials in regard to
the new City Hall site, were made public
last night at a special meeting of City
Council, when the railroad propositions
were considered. The city is anxious to
acquire a triangular strip of land owned
BY the railroad at the corner of Atlantic
and South Carolina avenues, and needed
to complete the block selected as a site
for the new public buildings. The rail-
road offered to dedicate the land to the
city provided It abandoned four suits
that the city had pending against it in
the courts, to waive the city,s claim to
tax the trolley IN favor of the State. and
to agree to the terms proposed by Presi-
dent Roberts in regard to the paving of
Atlantis avenue-that is, the cost is to be
divided equally between the city and rail-
road.
The city was represented at the con-
ference held IN Broad Street Station by
City Hall Commissioners Charles Evans.
Mayor F. P. Stoy, City Clerk ireland
and ten members of City Council. The
propositions were discussed freely at the
special meeting, and the sentiment was
IN favor Of accepting the terms. Not to
appear too precipitate, Council postponed
voting on the acceptance of the terms I'M
til next Monday.

ATHLETIC KINGS SONS
The Young Men Of Lafayette
NJ. E. Church to Build
a Gymnasium.

The Kings Sons Society connected with
the Lafayette NJ. u. Church is one Of the
most progressive and up-to-date organiza-
tons of this city. The society has been
in existence for a number fof years and
an era of prosperity and happiness with
but one drawback.
The members are an athletic lot of young
men and their desires naturally tend to-
ward athletics. This feeling awakened in
the hearts of the member a longing for
a gymnasium properly equipped. They
requested the Board of Trustees to let
them have the use of the chapel. This
such things as broken chairs and torn
carpet told plainly that the chapel was
no place for the young men to exercise
their abilities as athletes.
When this fact became apparent the
young men started to ponder over means
OF procuring a gymnasium where there
would be no chairs to break nor car
pets to tear. But o. WAS this to be
done, they asked one another. True, the
treasury was In a. substantial condition.
but hardly equal to the demand that
members racked their brains. and talk
ed the matter over at great length. but
no satisfactory solutiep of the financial
problem could be reached.
Now things have chan1ed. The Kings
Sons have awakened ana taken hold of
affairs with redoubled zeSl. The reason
for this activity is that aS.last q GYM

The surprised made because

Even if Heller were foolish enough to
20 that, Bob" Davis wouldn't let him,
IN view of the expected legislation to
take from Heller the power to draw
Grand Juries.
This is what is politely called doing
the ostrich act.' The Tribune knows
perfectly well that no legislation of the
sort can or win be enacted in 1897. The
Tribune does not min showing the
cloven hoof, in the least. 1t also has
this to say
It's all right so long as you get Sheriffs
like Kirk, of Union, and Doremus, of
Essex, but il is decidedly all wrong when
a Sheriff is put into Office by q combina-
ton Of all the undesirable elements in a
county.
In other words. the Republicans are all
right, but a Sheriff elected by the anti
Dickinson Ring voters of Hudson county
is simply awful.
