TERM Ez7HNDER TEST
Application For a Special Term
of the Court of Errors to
Review the Branch
Court Decision.

Charles Corbin, counsel for the Hudsors
County Republican Committee, requested
Chancellor McGill yesterday to call a
special session of the Court Of Errors and
Appeals for Saturday, April "a, for the
purpose of reviewing the decision of JUS
stices Gummere and Garrison, who, sit
ting as the sub-branch court of the SUI
preme Court, declared the term extension
law unconstitutional.
The fact that such an application was
made has been guarded with the closest
secrecy No hint that such course had
been decided upon by the Republicans
leaders was given. The application was
a result of the conference on Saturday
between Messrs. Corbin &c Corbin and
the Subcommittee of the Republican
Executive Committee: Edward w. WOOL
ley, Colonel Samuel Dickinson and Michael
Schultz. 1t appears from this fact that
Colonel Dickinson did not leave his con-
stituents in such bad shape regarding
the contest of the election law as was at
first supposed when he left for Old Point
Comfort Saturday. He is confident that
the higher court will set aside the decis-
ion of the branch court of the Supreme
Court and will declare the law consti-
tutional and the election of Mr.. Hoos in-
valid
Chancellor McGill was seen by a News
reporter in his private chambers today.
He expressed surprise that the fact Of
the application having been made had
leaked out.
Such an application has been made,'s
he said, but it has not been granted. II
is as yet undecided whether there will
be an extra session or not
Charles Corbin was also seen and asked
for the particulars of the applications
His curt rejoinder was:-
'I am not at liberty to give you any
information regarding this matter to-
day.

NEW YORK OVRR-SOLD.

NEW YORK, April 20, 1S97.-10:1O A. M.
The prices of American securities on
the London market this morning indicated
that New York exaggerated the effect of
the Greco-Turkish war yesterday and
over sold. There was, consequently,
lively scramble to cover at the opening
at which prices were up to the London
parity, showing recovery of from l to
11a from last nights close in the interna-
tional stocks, the larger gain being in
Louisville & Nashville which showed
the heaviest decline yesterday. St. Paul
opened with running sales of 5000 shares
at 705s to 707a as compared with 69% at
last nights close. Burlington, Sugar,
Chicago Gas and Omaha were also up
point each. The dealings were charac-
large blocks of stocks changing hands,
but some heaviness being shown in the
industrial stocks after the initial sales.

commonplace assault and battery case.

and Blocker assistant yard master
Blocker testified that he ordered Dillon to
do something and he refused. He threat
sened to discharge Dillon, and the latter
struck him with acoupling pin or some
thing. Dillon testified that the work
Blocker ordered him TO do would take
him two hours, and as he was very tired
he didn't care to do ii. His time was
up and he wanted to so home. Blocker

We have not the full text of the de-
cision yet. and the syllabus is, as usual,
legally Opaque. But there seems to be
one point beyond doubt: the DAILY law of
1895 is insufficient to enable Jersey City
to condemn the water rights of the Nor
ris Canal and there is no other statute
which gives the city any such power.
This is the reason Jersey City is put in
such a plight. The Morris Canal Com
pany is master. of the situation.

WHAT DOES
THIS MEAN

The suit of the East Jersey Water
Company against the city to recover
$350,000 for years water supply, was
the first on the Supreme Court list for
today. When Clerk Frank Lease called
it, Lawyer Mulvaney from Cor
bins Office, asked to have it put off.
1t was understood that the case was to
be dropped in view of the new deal, but
Mr.. Mulvaney simply asked to have an
other day set for the trial. As he had no
choice of date, Justice Lippincott put it
down to the bottom of the Supreme Court
list.
FOUR MEN TO ONE MANS WORK.
At the meeting of the Street and Water
Board yesterday afternoon, Commission
ers Boltwood and Hentze refused to vote
for the payment of the March and April
payrolls of laboxers on meters. The men
are paid out or the water account, and
Messrs. Boltwood and IIeintz claim that
eight men have been liselessly retained
to perform work that two men could do
handily. The payrolls were passed by a
strict party vote. In the evening the
Board of Finance concurred in the pay
ment of the Salaries of the laborers.

that merchants there expect thousands
of people to outfit from that point next

who owned block in the city. In the
front was modest dwelling house, the
rear half Of the block being in grass on
which Jersey COW pastured. A real
estate man offered him $4,000 for the
half on which the COW was pastured.
He said he would see his wife about

called on him and received this reply:

NATIONAL BANK NOTES.
Limit Of Retirement Reached in the First Twen.
ty Days of December.


Limit Of Retirement Reached in the First Twen.
~ Days Of December.
Washington, Dec. 2l.-Mr. Coffin, the
acting comptroller of the currency,
today called attention to the fact that
the retirement of national bank notes
during the first 90 days of this month
reached the sum of 100000. This is
said to be the first time during the last
10 years that the voluntary retirement
has reached this amount in any one
month.
Under the national bank act the
United States treasurer is not allowed
to receive for retirement of circulation
more than $3,Ooo,OOO in any one month
and hence all deposits to retire notes
during the last 10 days Of this month
must be refused.
This exceptional condition, Coffin
says, is due to the prevailing low rates
OF interest arising from superabund-
ance of money for investment. which
has advanced the price of United
States bonds. Coffin expressed the
opinion that the law should be amend
ed in this particular, as it interferes
with the elasticity of the currency and
the general laws of trade.
