Ths noulev.rd Light outrage.

The Boulevard lights were out AGAIN
last evening. and darkness and danger
brooded on the great road from end to
end. Some bicyclists and horsemen took
their chances and rode and drove over II.
Others deserted 1t for ex-Mayor Wanser's
East Side Drive, which is lit by the Jer-
sey City Electric Light Company. and
where the lights do not go out.
Presumably the journal" will have an
elaborate explanation. this afternoon. OF
how 1t was all the work of wicked con-
spirators. The public. however, will smile
and place the blame just where it be-
longs.
The Board of Freebooters has conflded
the Boulevard electric plant to persons
absolutely unfit to run 1t. Inconfpetency
is the characteristic of some of them and
drunken neglect of others. These per-
sons are kept in their positions for no.
~toriousIy corrupt reasons. SO o as the
present combine remains in control OF
county AFFAIRS and has need of the silence
of a ~purchaseable newspaper, there will
be no change in the eccentricities OF
Boulevard illumination.

SEVERE BICYCLE COLLISION.

The first accident of much account on
the asphalt pavement in Barrow and Mer-
Ger streets occurred last night at eight
o'clock Nightly the streets are crowded
with wheelmen and they glide about in
every direction. The streets were unusu-
ally crowded last night. Daniel Flynn,
seventeen years old, of No. AZ Henderson
street, was in the crowd. He was riding
down Barrow street, from Newark ave-
nue., at a lively clip, and turning into
Mercer street struck Edward Cimerson,
of No. 8s1 Summit avenue, head on. Both
men were given a bad spill
Clirnerson was the first first to extricate
himself. His hands and arms were cut
and his face was bruised Flynn was un-
able to rise When picked up by wheel
men he complained Of severe pains tn his
right hip. DR.. Craven was called n he

The largest part of the estate of the
late Samuel r. Syms, once President Of
the Second National Bank of Hoboken,
was sold today by Counsellor William
Brinkerhon of Jersey City. acting for the
executors. The land owned by the late
president In Morris ounty will be sold
when the Orphans Court of that county
makes the required order. Tho sale to-
day realized over 1900. The property in
Morris county will bring 1t is expected
about ss5.oM. The property disposed OF
consisted of a great numbe of parcels
Of land in West Hoboken, where Mr..
Brinkerhof supervised the sale conducted
by Auctioneer Galbraith.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Syms
died about five years age worth about
$125.0 900 He left a will with devises almost
to the full extent Of the amount of the
estate to charitable Institutions and
collateral heirs. This last will and testa-
ment created no little surprise and a great
deal of After the will was
probated the children presented claims
against the estcte absorbing almost all
of its principal One of these claims was
filed by a son of the testator, Robert
0yiuS. IL was 1Ol T3o,VSV, ASAAie
which Robert claimed his father was
indebted to him. Robert accordingly
brought suit for that sum and obtained
Judgment,
The next proceeding vas the filing of a
bill in Chancery to stay execution on the
judgment and for the purpose of making
enquiries as to the claim. The suit was
tried before Chancellor McGill. who sus-
tanned the Judgment. The case was
carried to the Court of Errors and APP
peals, which body was divided on the
matter. but a majority voted to reverse
the Chancellor's decy,ion.
Ultimately the case was brought before
thet Hudson County Circuit branch OF
the Supreme Court, where assignments of
the legacies were procured at nominal
sums, which proceeding virtually placed
the estate in the hands of h Syms
family. The next move was to bring the
matter before the Hudson County
Orphan Court and pursuant to an order
of that court the sale today was ordered.
Throughout the long drawn out and
much contested legal proceedings many
we'll known legal firms were connected
with them. Messrs. Brinkerhofr n
Fielder represented the executors ana
other parties III the suits were represented
by Messrs. Collins and Corbin. Washing

Township Tax Evasion.

The fearful extravaganza of the Board
Of Freebooters was on the point of
bringing the financial affairs of this city
to crisis, when the County Board OF
Equalization woke up on Wednesday,
end determined thai If there was TO be
the outlying towns should bear the bur-
dem
A large number of the r~ascals, who are
in the Freebooter combine, represent
these townships. They have voted for
the outrageous county budget in the
bland confidence that they were spending
Jersey City's money, and their own con-
stituents would not be hurt. The action
of the Board of Equalization, however,
win turn the tables on them in neat
fashion, and when their time for re-
election comes around. they may find it
not so easy to explain the county finances
to the voters as they had hoped.
Working in conjunction with the Free
booter gang. the local assessors have
turned tn absurd undervaluations to the
Board of Equalization. Their totals show
no increase over last year, while a de-
tailed examination of their work shows
favoritism of the most outrageous char
acter. Individual parcels of property are
assessed as low as 30 per cent. of their
true value. while the average rate of
assessment In this city is 50 per cent. It
is nearly time that some steps were taken
and m~alfeasance. The Board of Equal
ization should lay the facts before the
Grand Jury. and demand the Indictment
OF some OF the local assessors.
