GEN. SfBNCER'S REPORT
Work of Last Year or the State
Rifle Range-New Tar
gets Condemned.

TRENTON, Feb. 2, 1898.-The annual
report of Adjutant General William >.
Stryker has been compiled and will be
issued in the near future. 1t will con-
tain, among other things, the report Of
Bird w. Spencer, Inspector General of
Rife Practice.
General Spencer's report deals fully
with the work and scope of the State
Department of Rife Practice. and makes
a lumber of important re~commenda-
tions and suggestions. The matter of
paying the cost of transportation for the
troops sen to Sea Girt for rifle practice
is discussed at length in the report, and
IS coupled with a recommendation that
the State pay a part of it at least, IN
order to enable them to keep up the
present high standard of craftsmanship.
In this matter the Generals report
says:-"The appropriation for rifle prac-
tice for the season of 1897. as fixed by
the Legislature, was but $40. 900, and, as
in 1896, a portion of the troops We're
compelled to pay the expense of trans
expense fell on the First Brigade this
year.
II earnestly recommend that the Leg
islature be requested at the coming ses-
sion to appropriate $4,000 as a deficiency
appropriation for the coming year QS9S),
and for 1899 not less than $14, 000."s
es In rsfe speaeer to say yse f f!The net of r msTis;
are not as gratifying as it would have
been if more had participated. Still,
when it is taken intos consideration that
the volley firing was almost entirely eim-
mated during the practice. because OF
lack of funds, the figure of merit for the
year is very creditable." The State Inquire
is 2S.2S.
The report also recommends that an
arrangement be made whereby the
troops attending rife practice be pro
vided with two meals each day. The
report condemns the practice of permit
vide their own ration. on the GROUND
that it is a strong temptation for raids
IN farms.
1t also recommends that the gun de-
tachments of the various regiments be
instructed in the manning and oper-
ating of the sea coast battery now built
at Sea Girt, if possible, under the super
vision of a United States army artillery
officer. =
h new targets, adopted last year at
the State range, do not suit General
those making scores by them was largely
increased. General recommends that
several changes be made, chief of which
is the placing of white bands around
the neck and waists of the silhouette
figures on the targets. This Woulo
change the method of scoring, and add
one point for q hot over the head OF the
figure. He also recommends that all
officers be armed with a revolver, and be
required to shoot for qualification.
The report closes by thanking ex-

CLOSE LEAGUE MATCHES

ment at Catholic Club.
LEAGUE MATCHES

The Jersey City Club visited Bergen
Point Monday night and rolled three
games in the Hudson County Trolley
League with the New Jersey Atnietlc
Club, and that the team won only one
game of the three was due to the poor
work of Beltair, who rolled miserably. he
put up a weak effort all around and falleo
to get anywhere near the average. Jer-
sey City did not get going in the hrst
game, but in the second the team reached
a good pace and led the Bergen Point roll
lers over the, finish with the best total Of
the night. The third game was more IN
teresting than he others because OF the
narrowness of the margins in each frame.
New Jersey failed to do n great roll
ing and Jersey City was in the same pre-
dicament. The scores fell below the
average and the chance for a win by the
visitors was lost because of the three low
marks of Beltair, Scudder and Starrert'
the home club winning by, ~ pms.
Throughout the contest Brown ana Scout
were the high rollers from this city. Day
and Southland did well for New Jersey.

THE STERNBERG DISPUTE.
Judge Collins Dfssents From the
Can't Of ErrorG DecIsIOn. 8.

Accompanying the opinion of the Court
of Errors in the Sternberg-Wof case, OF
Newark, which was prepared by Justice
Depue and filed at the office of the Secre-
tary of State on Monday was the follow
ing brief dissent by Justice Colllns:-
While l agree with the majority OF
this Court that the situation disclosed
by the ~affidavits called for the appoint
nient of a receiver OF the application
of either party, l also think that pend
ing such appointment it was justlia-
BILE, under the affidavits,to order an IN
junction forbidding David Wolf to FUR
Their act as treasurer of the corpora
ton until he should give bonds n
restraining him from making such
drafts and notes as were irterdlcted.
Such an order might justly have been
made conditional upon submission by
Lazar Sternberg to like Introduction.
A modifie injunction of this tenor
seems still unobjectionable, and may
be necessary.
The substance of the decision OF the
majority of the members of the Court o.
Errors was. MADE public on last Friday. II
ordered that Vice-Chancellor Pitney ap-
point a receiver for Sternberg & Co.

tween Sternberg and Wolf.

Mems Association was held last night at
Prasser's Hall. President Julius Berger
in the chair. Fred Holzschuh, a carpena
ter of Grifiths street, was elected to mem

There was considerable discussion over
the action of the postal authorities in
abolishing post office sub-station A, which
fer the past two years has been located in
join NJ. Kelley's real estate Office at Pal
isade avenue, near Franklin street. The
opinion was tha the loss of the Office
would be a serious blow to the business
interests of the section, and a committee,
consisting of Alex. Knox, Henry and
Charles ROLLS, was appointed to see POST
master Jordan and see if the order could
not be rescinded. The committee was CIV
en- full power to circulate a petition urging
the re-establishment of the station.
A resolution commencing the action OF
Senator DAILY in pushing the bill in the
Legislature authorizing the building of
a viaduct from Eighth street, Hoboken, to.
Bowers street, on the Hill, was passed
with much enthusiasm This is a meas
ure long advocated by the association.
The secretary was instructed to COM
municate with the Citizens Association
recently organized in the western portion
of the Twelfth ward, and notify them that
the Business Mems Association was in
Iull ACCORD III lHS Slioit " SSSuiC ddS-
uuate fire protection, and that they would
support any measure looking toward that
end.
Mr.. Kastenhuber offered a resolution
which will be acted upon at the~~next
meeting changing the nights of meeting
from the first and third Tuesdays to the
second and fourth Mondays.
The Industrial Exhibition Committee re-
ported thai although no special effort had
been made as yet, still fifteen of the one
hundre booths to be erected at the ex-
hibition had already been disposed of.
The general belief is that the same will
be an immense success.

DANFoRTH AVENUES ARC LIGHT

Many people residing in the vicinity of the
Boulevard and Danforth avenue are complain
ing bitterly about the arc light on that corner,
which has not been in working order for the
past week. There is no light within three
hundred feet of that corner. The gas lamp
in that section has been cut off and the place
is very desolate.
Mrs. Seller, who keeps a saloon on that
corner, is one of the kickers. She says the
darkness is detrimental to her business, and
that it's an outrage. She says that yesterday
morning she asked one of the men who
changes the carbons in the arc lamps along
the Boulevard why the lamp was not lighted
at night. The fellow replied that it was out
of order, and when asked why it had not been
fixed. replied that it was none of her ="
business and spoke otherwise insultingly.
A prominent member of the League Club,
who stood by and heard the conversation, re-
monstrated with the fellow.
II wish I owned that property" said the
Lacquer, pointing to the saloon corner. Il
would make somebody suffer for the neglect .

that the bill be given an early date. =.
Richard B.. better known as Dick
Reading, said he appeared both for the
railroad and trolley companies and they
would like to have ample time to prepare
arguments against both Mr.. Allen and Mr.,
Bauer's bills. The committee said that
they would announce later when they
would give a hearing.
These many attacks upon the railroads
in favor of the rights of the people have
irritated the representatives of the rall-
roads here. One of them was found to-
day lolling in a chair and when asked
why he was idle replied that there was
nothing to do.
