Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
CAMDEN. Feb. 4, 1s9S.--For the purpose
OF devising means Of averting war be-
tween New Jersey and Delaware, Cover
nor Voorhees, is coming down to Camden
tomorrow. The Governor don't like the
prospects Of war at the very beginning of
his administration and so he is going to
do his level best to avert it. He will be
assisted by Attorney General Samuel H.
Gray. and a conference will be held in the
latter's office with officers of the New
Jersey Sturgeon Fishermen's Protective
Association. The whole trouble arises
from the fact that the State of Delaware
has issued an ukase against New Jersey,
declaring that if any sturgeon fishermen
encroaeh upon the territory of the Blue
Hens Chickens in the Delaware River
and Bay there will be trouble. Indeed,
Delaware has gone so far as to say that
if any r~ascally Jerseyman should hunt
the sueculent and valuable sturgeon on
her shores he will be promptly arrested
and jailed, with prospects of the whipping
post in the New Castle Jail yard.
Now. the New Jersey sturgeon fisher
man, whose season begins in about four
weeks, are not scared by any threats
which Delaware may make; they have
declared that they will fish wheresoever
they please in the Delaware Bay and
River, and that no Blue lens Chicken
or any other rooster can prevent them.
They say they will not only fish, but will
go out in their boats fully armed to re-
sist any attempt at arrest. Still, they
would like to avoid trouble, and with
that end in view secured the services of
Attorney John w. Wescott. who looked
the matter up and discovered that Gov
ernor Griggs, in his last message to the
Legislature, had paid some considerable
| attention to the dispute between New Jer-
sey and Delaware as to jurisdiction over
the waters of the Delaware Bay and
River, and had noted with evident dis
pleasure the fact that the little Diamond
State had not been willing to concede New
Jerseys claims in the premises. The Gov
ernor hoped that the matter might be
amicably adjusted.
With these facts in mind. Mr.. Wescott
| consulted the Attorney General, with the
| result that Governor Voorhees, consented
| to come to Camden on Saturday to meet
| the committee of the sturgeon fishermen
State protection may be afforded them
| and go over all the ground to see what
State protection may be afforded them.
| Senator Miller and Assemblyman Cris-
| pin of Salem county will also attend the
conference.

MASSIVE NEW STEAMSHIP COMING
The Pretoria of the Hamburg Line
HSeadv to Sail.

The officials of the Hamburg-American
| Steamship Company in Hoboken have re-
| ceived word that the new freight steam
ship Pretoria, built recently in Germany
for the company, will leave Hamburg in
a few days for this port on her maiden
trip. The Pretoria is a sister ship to the
big f~reighter Pennsylvania of the same
line. which is the largest freight steamer
| af1oat. The vessels are two of four which
the Hamburg Company began to Guild
abroad over a year ago.
For some time past steamship COM
panies having docking facilities at this
port have been engaged in a war over
| low rates in foreign freight traffic. In or
der to compete with the prices many of
the companies have added to their fleets
| steamers of immense capacity, capable or
CARRYING almost double the cargoes of the
oIdersones. and thus reducing the freight
age to a minimum.
Since the Hamburg Company f1oated the
Pennsylvania, some months ago, the
North German Lloyd Company has
launched a half dozen massive freight
carriers. Many of the new ocean mon
sters are so large that it k a small
regiment of men to load and unload them,
and the date of sailing is often postponed
to afford time to handle the cargoes- :.
The new steamer Pretoria, which will
ply between this port and Hamburg, reg
listers q, 500 tons and has a carrying ca
| pacity of 10000 tons. She is 5S6 feet long,
So feet beam and AZ feet deep. Besides be-
ing equipped for freight traffic. she will
carry a large number of passengers, both
cabin and steerage. Bilge keels are at
tached to the hull. which will considerably
reduce the rolling motion so unpleasant
to passengers. and thus make the vessel
a very comfortable sea traveller.

So far as Jersey City is concerned, the
Passaic pollution suit begun yesterday is
an impudent fraud. This city has neither
hand, act nor part in it. 1t has very
little interest in the result and will bear
no share of the expenses.
According to the Evening Journal of
yesterday, the insertion of the city's name
in the papers was based on a resolution
of the Board of Aldermen, the passage
of which was a mere matter of humbug
and false pretences. We do not know
how the Journal gets its information.
Perhaps in this water as in SO many
other matters the Journal, is running
with the hare and coursiag with the
hounds. But if the information is true,
and the Dringers OF the suit really rely
upon that resolution to make Jersey
City foot the bin, they will find they are
yoful1y mistaken, for the Aldermen Of
this city nave no more to do with our
water supply than they have with the
movement Of the tides, and, even If they
had. q resolution. not concurred in by

BICYCLIsT DIES FROM A FALL.
Otto Burger OF box Was
Thrown From His wheel.

After suffering for two weeks from in
juries received by falling from a bicycle.
Otto Burger, eighteen years old, of No. 23s
Adam street, Hoboken, died at his home
yesterday afternoon.
Burger was a member of the Defender
Cyclers and was one of the fastest riders
in the club. He sustained the injuries
which caused his death while riding a
tandem on one of the club runs to Fort
Lee. The tandem became unmanageable
and he was thrown over the handle bars.
He thought light of the accident. how
ever. and after repairing the wheel. con-
tinued on the trip with the other mem
bers. Or his return to Hoboken he com
planned to his club mates of a pain in his
left side. The next morning the pain
was still in the same place. but thinking
that 1t would go away, he did not seek
medical ~attendance.
on Saturday night Burger visited a local
theatre with 4 young lady to whom he
was engaged. He paid no attention to his
| affliction until yesterday afternoon when
he returned to his home and informed his
parents that he was suffering intense
agony. A few minutes later he relapsed
into a state of semi-consciousness and re-
ouested that his sweetheart he loved be
sent for. The latter was at the bed side

Fagan's Iieutenants said yesterday. "un-

Davis as Indicative of Fagan's suprema-

In other words, Mayor Fagan's objec-
ton to bossism is that it prevents him
from becoming boss.

PATERSON. Feb. 4, 1Sss.-J. Leavitt
Griggs. son of Attorney General Griggs,
figured as a hero yesterday morning.
The young man was aroused from his
slumber by cries of fire. Raising his win
dow he saw the half-clad figure of a man
on the street shouting fire.
Young Griggs hastily dressed and ran
out to the fire box on the corner of
Twelfth avenue and East Twenty-seventh
street and turned in an alarm. Then he
ran across to the burning house occupied
by Lawyer Willard P. Shaw and assisted
in safely guiding the family and servants
out of the burning building.
When the hremen arrived young Griggs
directed them to the lower floor of the
house, where the laundry was found to be
in flames. The house is owned by the At
torney General and was formerly occupied
by him and family. The damage will not
exceed $500.
Mr.. Shaw and family were given shelter
by young Griggs. The origin of the ire is
unknown. 49,

MAYOR FAGAN'S personal organ
started in, yesterday, to bully and threat
en- the leader of the party in this county,
Robert Davis. Amusingly enough, it does
this in an article advocating peace and
harmony.
Among other things, the organ says
that the coming fight will not end like
the Record one. No, the Record fight
left Mr.. Pagan still a factor in Hoboken
nnlitics.

GOOD NEWS.

from Mayor Fagan's Personal Organ.]
Davis knows Pagan is not a candidate
for Sheriff. He also knows that if Pagan
were left alone he would permanently re-
tire as an Office holder at the end of his
term as Mayor. This is what makes
Davis onslaught on Pagan stupid and in
defensible.

He quoted the law extensively, and the
Public Prosecutor was requested to make
a thorough investigation and lay his evil
dence before the jury. He did so. 1t was
easy enough to get evidence, and several
indictments were expected.
There was much dismay in certain
quarters when it leaked out that the jury
had indicted none of the booksellers.
Justice Dixon heard of the jury's ac-

noon. No one expected him. Once more
he called the Grand Jury together. The

supplementary charge IN poolrooms-
The Court went as far as possible in
ordering the members of the jury to in

the Board of Finance. would be OF no
force or effect III binding the city to the
payment Of money.
On general sanitary principles. the poll
luton Of the Passaie should be prevent
ed; but as our city does not yet extend
to the banks of the river. we have only
a remote prospective interest in the sub
ject. Newark and all the small towns UP
to and including Passaic, and indeed Pat
erson herself, have a very strong and di-
rect interest in the publication of the
stream. That they should combine 10
stop sewering into it. and to cleanse ana
protect 1t for all time to come is a mere
common sense proposition.
But that the river will ever be of the
slightest use to any city as a source
of water supply is nonsensical. Perhaps
in the dim future. when drinking water
grows scarce. it may pay the great cities
pipe their streets and use the flow of
the lower Passaic for sprinkling and car
riage washing and the extinguishment OF
fires; but this is a long way off. Today,
the franchise" which this city is said
by cranks like Lebbeus B. Ward and
Isaac N. Quimby to possess in the river,
at Belleville, is not worth the wind which
these WORTHLESS expend in exploiting their
views. 1t would not be worth one dol
lar of our very scarce cash nor one hour
of u city lawyers valuable time to de-
fend it.
If this suit had been honestly brought
in the interest and in the name of the
people living along the river valley, we
should be happy to endorse it and to
aid the cause. But as it stands, the pro-
ceeding is an %impudent fraud and a hum
bug, and as such we unhesitatingly de-
nounce it.
