feated him by twenty votes, he would

The property owners and business peo-
pie on Exchange place are about to petit
ton the Board of Street and Water Com
m~issioners to repave that principal en-
trance to the city. AT present it is a
disgrace to a place of such Importance
and excites very strong criticism from
visitors from New York. At its best, It's
about like a ploughed field, with its ruts
and burrows, and on the south side, from
Taylor's Hotel to the First National
Bank. it is simply filthy. Some Of the
careless servants of the German restau-
rant keepers in that section think it is a
fine place, and no doubt it is. to deposit
offal from the kitchen and the dining
rooms and at all times the visitor may
see rubbish and filth of various kinds ~

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.'1
TRENTON. April 16, 1S9S.-An attempt
is being made to have the nuisance
caused by the Erie Railroad tracks on
Madison street, Hoboken, abated. Mrs.
Annie Beyen, one of the residents along
the street, today filed in the Chancery
Court a bill of complaint praying for an
injunction commanding the mo OF
the tracks. h sets out a rather start
ling condition of affairs.
Mrs. Bergen lives in a house built on a
portion Of the John G. Coster estate, and
recites that in the year 1887, the New York
Lake Erie and Western Railroad laid
two sets of tracks along Madison street in
front of her home. These tracks have
since come into the possession of the
Erie Company. and Mrs. Bergen sets out
that employees of the road are in the
habit Of side-tracking and leaving long
trains of freight cars on the tracks cen
tinuously, and that they " on several
occasions left cars standing upon the
tracks for several days with dead sheep
and cattle in them.
1t is charged that the leaving of these
trains of cars upon the tracks for a NUM-
Der of days renders it impossible for the
complainant or her family to pass over
the street or to drive a wagon to or
from her premises, even in cases of the
greatest necessity. Mrs. Bergen also al
leges that by reason of these nuisances
her property has been greatly deprecated
in value, and has almost become useless.
She asks thai the ChanceTy Court enjoin
the Erie Company and its employees from
side-tracking or ieaving any cars on the
tracks adjacent to her property. and from
in any manner p~olluting the air in the
Vicinity BY offensive ard noxious smells,
and that the company may be ordered 10
remove its tracks from the street.
She asks further that the company be
ordered to pay her such damages as the
court may determine.
