ACQUISITION FOR HoBoKGN.


Ex-A Lever, sf Oceans
Starts Saloon in That City.
Abraham Lower, ex-RepubIcan Assem-
blyman from Ocean county, has come to
Heboken. He was chairman of the Com
mittee on Railroads and Canals during
his last term. Mr.. Lower has opened a
saloon at the corner of Monroe and New
ark streets.
There was some question at first as to
the legality of his running a saloon, as
it had been learned that he had secured
no license. Christian r. Meister has had
the place for number of years and the
schaefrer Brewing Company held mort
gage on it.
and left quarter Of million dollars to
his son, who left Hoboken and opened
up saloon at the corner of Fair and
Washington streets, Paterson. The license
was transferred to man named Murphy,
who gave up the business after week S
stay in the place.
License Inspector Robert Bell told a
News reporter that Mr.. Lower was
doing business on the application for a
transfer of the license originally taken
out by Meister, and he said there was no
breach of the law which permits a man
to do business pending the action of the
Council. If the Council will not trans
fer the license on Wednesday night IS
meeting the place will be closed up.

Mills BUMo0MBB.
Fhe Texas Senator Making a Luns
TfraGe About CHINA


WASHINGTON, Jan II, 1S97.-Roger @
Mills of Texas began his speech on the
Cuban matter in the Senate at l:so P. M
with thirteen Democratic Senators and
six Republicans in their seats. He smoke
without notes, in the hfgh-keyed voiee
natural to him and which it is SO difFiculr
% maintain in a long continued address,
The public galleries were about half filed
Al the outset Mr.. Mills assailed the
position assumed by President Cleveland
IN ms annual message on the Cuban
question and when INTERRUPTED by Mr.
GRAY Dem. Dell who asked whence
the Senator derived one particularly pun
gent extract ne was read, Mr.. Mills ans
Wered that he was reading from the
message of President Monroe.
Mr. Mills. had numerous books spread
out on the two desks he occupied for
the time being.
MIR. Mills drew into The controversy
Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson and made
q point on the recognition of the inde-
peAdelDce OF Texas-wflose representative
am, he said, but immediately corrected
himself by aGding-"one of whose repre-
ssrtatives l have the honor to be-" He
asserted with much emphasis after read
ing an extract from President Jacksol'ss
message on the Texas question, that the
power to recognize fore gn governments
was in the province of Congress and did
not rest with the Executive.
To this Mr.. Gray retorted by reading
the. concluding sentence Of Andrew Jack
sons message, Which said that while he
thought expediency might vest this mat
ter in Congress he did not express any
opinion on the subject.
Mr.. Hale (Rep., Me) then came into
the discussion with a number of ques-
tons interjected into Mr.. Mills speech, to
which he submitted with good grace for
a time, but finally asked Mr. Hale to
wait IAN hour orSso'' tilr he got to the
end of his speech and then to answer
him in toto.
Mr.. Hale promised not to interrupt fur
ther but within five minutes propounded
from his seat three, or four more oues-
tions which went far to break up the
continuity of Mr.. Mills argument.

'RAVINB ROAD SEWER.
City Will Construct Two Pipes
to Remedy the Nuisance
on the Meadows.

AS soon as the Erie Railroad officials
had retired this morning from their con-
ference with the Mayor the city officials
gave an audience to Ravine Read Com
missioners Connolly and Harrison in the
Mayors office.
Some time ago the Mayor and other
officials decided to afford some remedy to
the sewage plagued people living in the
northern section of the city. Between
Eighth street and the Hoboken line the
residents were continually complaining of
being practically driven from their homes
by sewage flooding the Easements of their
houses. Today it was decided TO relieve
that condition of affairs as speedily as
practicable.
To do it two big sewers are to be con-
structed. One will relieve the already
overtaxed sewer in Eighth street. It
will start at Oakland avenue run
through that avenue to Hoboken avenue
below Palisade avenue. and from that
point it will be a steel pipe sewer four
feet in diameter. From FIoboken ave-
nue. it will run to the head of Thirteenth
street: thence down under the recently
constructed yiaduct to Division street,u un-
der Division street to Monmouth and F'if-
teenth streets At that point 1t will be
joined by new branch sewer starting at
the Ravine Road down to Palisade ave-
nue., and thence to the point of connec-
tion. From Monmouth and Fifteenth
streets the big sewer will extend to Pro-
vost street to Thirteenth street, through
the city's right of way 70 the, Hudson
River.
just how much the. two new sewers
will cost is not known, but it will be
considerable sum. The officials believe,
however, that considering the safely Of
the residents of the poorly drained local
ity and the advancement of really in that
section. that the money win be well
spent. The territory which Is now prac-
tically unpopuiated because of the Inn
possibility to get drainage facilities will
be well drained under the plans pre-
pared It is expected that as soon as
work on the sewers is begun there will
be big boom in building
To defray the expense Of the work
legislation will be required. Estimates
of the probable cost of the sewers are
to be made without delay and then Cor
poration Counsel Blair and City Attorney
Weart are to prepare bill which will
meet the case.
Mayor Wanser or his secretary, Mr.
Nevin, will look after the bill after it
has been introduced in the Assembly.
