Council Takes Steps TO Collect Fro
the rOlleY Linz.


the Trolley Line.
The effort to recover the $20,0 900 agreed
upon as the price to be paid by the Ruth
erford Trolley Company to Hoboken for
its franchise in that city assumed a new
phase at the meeting of the Common
Council last evening when Councilman
Steuerwald introduced an ordinance re-
pealing the company's franchise.
Chairman Weinthal, Councilman Web
er and other members, took exception to
the measure on the ground that the COM
pany's affairs are now in the hands of a
. received appointed by the Fed
eral Courts, and that a re-
straining order had been served on
the city only a few moments before, for
bidding interference with the company's
affairs in any form, and that, therefore,
the action proposed might possibly render
the members of the Council liable for con-
tempt of court.
After considerable discussion the reso-
tuition was referred to the committee on
laws and ordinances in conjunction with
Corporation Attorney James Minturn. Mr..
Steuerwald was the only one who voted
against this disposition of the resolu-
ton.
Councilman Londrigan introduced a res
olution ealing Upon the Chief of Police to
furnish the Council with evidence as to
the North Hudson County Railway Com
pany's violations of the vestihule act. II
the railway company fines amounting to
several thousands of dollars.

pay him $500 as a fee for his professional

phatically replied Simpson.

you had already entered into the case?'
"No, sir"

conversation in the place"
ibid you say, T think you boys (Beck

Ex.Confederate Will Speak at the
Associations Dinner.

The thirty-third annual banquet of the
| Lincoln Association of Jersey City Will be
held at Taylor's Hotel Saturday evening.
AS the exercises will close promptly at
| midnight, it is necessary to begin early,
therefore dinner will be served promptly

of the most memorable of the many DIM
| ners which this association has given.

Reed of Taylor's Hotel has promised that
the menu will be one of his best efforts.
In addition to the instrumental music
which willb e furnished by Wagner's or
| chestra the Metropolitan Glee Club will
| be present and enliven the exercises with
| vocal selections.
The list of speakers is an unusually bril-
liant one. Colonel Charles w. Fuller,
President of the association, will deliver
the opening address,, and will be followed
by United States Senator John w. Daniel
of Washington, who will speak upon
abraham Lincoln from a Southern
Standpoint
Mr.. Daniels is an ex-Confederate officer,
a typical Southerner and an eloquent
speaker. He was temporary chairman of
the memorable Democratic National con-
vention Of 1896, and those who were pres
ent at that gathering will long remember
his eloquence on that occasion.
The next toast will be Abraham Lin

ERWIN NOT YET SWORN IN.
Long List of Candidates for The Place
of ~Prosecutorss Sieuths.

Prosecutor James S. Erkin was expect
ed to take possession of the office Today,
but he has not yet received his commits
sion from the Governor. He will proba-
bly, receive it some time this afternoon
and be sworn in tomorrow morning. AS
Saturday is a holiday it is not likely that
Prosecutor Erwin will assume the active
duties of the office until Monday. He
has selected his assistant, but who it is
cannot be aseertained until the name has
been submitted to Governor Voorhees, and
received his approval. 1t is necessary for
the Governor to approve the appoint
nent.
The number of Republican States
men who imagine themselves to be born
sleuths and fitted by nature for the
position of Prosecutors detective has
largely increased. This is the list up to
date. William j. Doll, John Graham,
Familiarity known as Captain JACK"
edward It. Mitchell, Joseph Locke, Charles
Bennett, Henry c. Petty, Henry Rose, o.
c. w. Lang, Frank T. Lockwood, William
c. Broas, Joseph J. Guisto, John Rotter-
| ham, William J. Burns, Edward Shut,
William Bellield, Edward McAneny, Nor
| gan Livingston, Charles B. RELAY and
Edward Mccormack.
Doll is the Journals informer and
might be a valuable man for the
| journal in the office, but it is not at
| all likely that the Prosecutor will have
any use for him. He is not the kind OF
man the Prosecutor would care to have
in a confidential capacity.
Captain Jack Graham and Ed. Mitchell,
and ex-Coroner Billy Burns, who was a
Democrats as long as Democrats provided
him with an office, may also be eliminated
from the list of possibilities. AS to Doll
it was only last fall that he was a ram
pant roaring Democrat and seeking a
nomination for the Assemblyman. John
Rotherman is a good competent man ano
has strong backing. Frank Lockwood is
thoroughly qualified for the place. but
will hardly get it. John j. Erwin, whose
nam is not in the list, can have any one
of the places, but there is a probability
that he will not want it, although the
Prosecutor is very anxious to nave him.
Here is a good betting tip. although not
a cinch:-Edwafd Mccormack and Charles
B. RELAY.

raigned before Police Justice Potts in

Shortly before eight O'Clock this morn
ing a. large crowd collected at Erie and
Sixth streets about a man who had torn
up a-loose piece of tagging and was up
on his knees frantically digging the dirt
away with his fingers. The man, who
proved to be McGettrick, dug at the hard
earth until his finger nails were torn
nearly off and his fingers We're bleeding.
All the time he was calling ait short IN
tervals:-"Come up, come up from there
and pay me-" i
He had dug a hole nearly a foot deep
when Patrolman Harris came along and
asked him what he was DOING
Don't interrupt me- said McGetrick;
"he's down there and I am goi ng down
after him. I've been digging FOR three
hours now but he goes further down all
the time. Leave me alone and I'll get
him.
zee who?" asked the astonislfe d officer.
.Why, the man who hired me. He
hired me to fix this stone for him and
then he crawled beneath it and went
down into the ground"
Harris had difficulty in dragging Nc
Gettrick away from the spot. A crowd
of hoodlums followed the prisoner to the
Seventh street station.
