HOLLAND TORPEDO BOAT.
The Submarine Vessel Successfully
Launched ot Elizabeth.
Especial to ..The Jersey CITY News..1

Especial to THE Jersey City News'1
ELIZABETH, May II, 1S97.-The Hol-
land submarine torpedo boat was launch
ed at the Crescent ship yards in this city
at 8:45 this morning. She was christened
''The Holland" by Mrs. Nixon, wife of
Lieutenant Lewis Nixon, the constructor.
There were but few persons at the
launching. Inventor John P. Holland says
there will not be any attempt at subma-
rine evolutions for several weeks.
{ The boat is cylindrical in shape, is so
feet inches long, with a four-foot screw
protecting extension. The boat is built
to travel under water at the rate of eight
knots an hour for eight consecutive
hours, and ten knots an hour on the
surface. The power is supplied by gas
oline engine and dynamo, the former
to be used when the boat is sailing along
the surface and the latter when she is
submerged. It is estimated that less than
a minute will be required to submerge
the boat. The armament consists of three
torpedo tubes.
The crew will consist of six men. AS
soon as she was launched the boat was
boarded by a force of engineers.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the United
States, English and Spanish governments
trial trip of the boat but he refused the
request. After a trial trip Mr. Holland
says he will allow an engineer from each
government to see the workings of the
boat, which, it is said, will revolutionize
the methods of naval warfare.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May II, 1887. The
Governor of Janina telegraphs that di-
vision of Turkish troops. under Osman
Pasha. after having fought for two days
before Arta against much superior forces
of Greeks, has succeeded in inhicting very
great losses upon the enemy and has dis
lodged the Greeks from the strong po-
sition which they occupied
A despatch delayed in transmission
says:-The representatives of the powers
here held a long meeting yesterday and
drew up note which will be presented
TO the Turkish Government so soon as
one of the Ambassadors receives the
necessary instructions from his govern
ment. This note does not deal with the
peace conditions, but merely repeats the
request for an armiStice and declares the
powers will not permit Greece to be
crushed
Although it is assumed in some quarters
that the Porte, in accordance with East
ern usage, has demanded more in order
to obtain less, it is pointed out that If the
Turkish Government desired to bargain it
would not have formulated its conditions
officially.
The tone of the military officials here
and elsewhere is most emphatically
against abandoning Thessaly. They point
out that if Europe has been unable to
make Greece evacuate the Island Of
Crete, how will Europe be able to force
Turkey out of TheSsaly?

the ground of desertion, on May IA, at

nation which he has on the subject is

NOT A SHORT SITTING.
Roll and Voorhees, Think tho Special
Session will Last.

Assemblyman J. Martin Roll of Union
was in the Pennsylvania station on his
way to Newark. He did not seem
to think that the special session was to
be any too short. An effort, he said,
would be made to pass the Voorhees,
Judiciary amendments, and if that was
done the friends of the biennial sessions
amendment would make an effort to pass
that. There would be a bitter fight on
those two measures, he said, and doubt
ed very much whether the bosses would
be able to keep the Legislature down
to remedying the error in the special
election bill.
Senator Foster voorhees, of Union, the
leader of the Senate who was in the
Court of Chancery. smiled this morning
when l asked him if it was so that an
effort would be made to pass his judi
ciary amendments.
Why he exclaimed, 81 can't talk any
more on coming legislation. The author

He did not think that the session would
be SO short after all, and that it would

Those residents of this vicinity who
have had the pleasure of attending the
chrysanthemum show each season given

that this firm is in financial trouble. The
firm became embarrassed about two years
ago and after struggling along for some
time could make no headway, and finally
creditors representing $1,000 of debts got
together and decided to have a receiver
appointed. The Court appointed John N.
May receiver. Mr. May undertook to
carry on the business, but soon found that
he was losing money. He then applied
to the Court of Chancery for an order
to sell the greenhouses and property
of the firm forthwith The applica-
ton came up this morning be-
fore Vice Chancellor Pitney and
several of the creditors represented by
Senator Voorhees,. opposed the applica-
ton. claiming that if the sale is put put
off until the season opens the various
plants and flowers will bring a higher
price than if sold at a forced sale.
James R. Pitcher testified to that effect
and also said that he had put $3.50, 900 into
the business since he started it. After a
long wrangle by counsel the Vice Chan
cellor adjourned the case until June l.

CLAIMS TO OWN THE PROPERTY

Counsellor Darcy applied to Vice Chan
cellor Stevens this morning for an in
junction restraining John Gardner from
ejecting him from fat house on Pail
sade avenue. It appears from the
papers in the case that John Gardner, a
lumber merchant of Charles street and
Central avenue, took a deed to two large
fiat houses on Palisade avenue for a bill
for lumber, which was owed to him by
Charles E. Johnson. David johnson, a
brother of Charles, lived in one of the
houses and paid no rent, claiming to have
an interest in the building. Gardner was
about to take steps to dispossess John
son and he sought the aid of the Court
of Chancery.
George McEwan opposed the motion.
The Vice Chancellor took the papers and
