WANT TO STOP THE CARS.
Hoboken,s Heroic Proposition to
Make the Rutherford egOad PAY Up.

The Hoboken Common Council passed a
resolution last night calling upon Cor
poration Attorney James F. Minturn for
his opinion as to the legal powers of the
Council to compel the Jersey City, Ho-
boken and Rutherford Railway to pay
the city $1,000, which it agreed to give in
compensation for its franchise granted "a
year ago.
Councilman Londrigan suggested an
amendment to the motion to the effect
that the Chief of Police be instructed to
forcibly prevent the cars of the COM
pany from entering the city on Sundays
until the money is paid.
We have all the authority and prece-
dent necessary" he said, "for stopping
the cars on Sunday, and it will bring this
company to book with a round turn"
When e. v. S. Besson was Chairman of
the Council he became Acting Mayor in
the absence of Mayor Bohnstedt. The
city was then building the Third street
sewer outlet.
"The North Hudson County Railway
Company objected to having it's tracks on
Washington street undermined, and John
H. Bonn, then President of the company
obtained an injunction. To have recourse
to the courts would have undoubtedly re-
suited in the company's ultimate defeat
as no corporation can prevent the con-
struction of public works of a necessary
character, but it would also have greatly
delayed the work.
tThe city seemed helpless, but Mr.. Bes-
office as Mayor pro tenn. he ordered the
Chief of Police to stop the cars of the
company from entering Hoboken on Sun
day. few arrests were made and the
company's employees who disobeyed the
orders of the police were fined under the
old blue law. The road was crippled, and
it was but few hours before President
Bonn was on his knees begging Mr.. Bes-
son to rescind his order promising to
Immediately have his injunction vacated.

ONE LADY IS DYING
City of Duluth Caught in a Hurri-
cane and Swept on the Bar
Going to Pieces.

ST. JOSEPH. Mich, Jan. 27, 1S9s.-The
big grain steamer City of Duluth arrived
off this port from South Chicago last
night at $3.50 and attempted to make the
harbor. There was tremendous wind
from the northwest and. a very heavy sea
rolling The Duluth kept on her course
into the harbor and at the mouth of the
river struck a bar and was thrown heavily
against the north pier, breaking in two
Immediately. The mammoth steel arches
on either side of the boat gave way i'm
mediately and the bow of the boat
dropped two or three feet. A large hole
was stove in the port side of the boat as
she swung around and she went to the
bottom in an hour leaving only her cabin
and part of her bulwarks above water.
The two big tugs Norford and Protection,
with had accompanied the big boat on
her trip across the lake, made several
desperate attempts to reach her and get
the crew and passengers off, but were
every time unsuccessful.
The life saving crew was summoned and
reached the scene OF the disaster in quick
time, considering that they had disband-
ed for the winter. At midnight they had
shot a mortar line to the boat and the
rescue began. The first one to be taken
ashore was August Kernwein, a business
man of this city: He dipped into the
water several times during the perilous
trip and was badly frozen when he was
pulled out. on to the pier. The rest of
the passengers were taken ashore in this
manner, one at a time There were sew
enteen passengers and twenty-three of
the crew.
Captain McLain was the last to leave,
he being taken off at five o'clock this
morning. There were several ladies
aboard. The members of the life saving
crew took turns going out in the car
after them. Mrs. William Tryon is dy-
ing from the effects of the trip. She
was in delicate condition and was bad
ly frozen and was seized with nervous
prostration.
The City of Duluth is an old boat but
one of the largest sailing on Lake Michi-
gan. She has been in the grain carrying
trade for many years. She is owned by.
the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior
Transportation Company, and was being
operated here this winter by the Graham
and Morton Transportation Co. She had
heavy cargo of corn and flour and
deck load of merchandise for local mer-
chants. There is no hope of saving any
thing from the wreck as there is a very
high sea rolling.
No boat can reach her and she is rap
idly going to pieces.
The engineer says that when the boat
struck the engine jumped a foot and
was Immediately torn to pieces The wa
ter rushed in, put out the fires and the
fremen barely escaped up the ladders in
time to save themselves. The floor of the
cabin deck gave mighty heave upward
and the passengers were thrown into the
widest confusion.

NJ 'EV AN FREES His MIND
He Gives His Views on the Pro-
posed Investigation in
Hudson County

WASHINGTON. JAM, 81 1Sss.-In an
interview today Congressman Thomas
McEwan, Jr., of Hudson County, saio
that he was glad that a legislative COM
mittee proposed to investigate the alleged
corruption in Hudson County, but he re-
gretted that the investigation was not to
extend to- other counties in the State,
where it is alleged that much official cor
ruption exists.
THE legislative investigation, he said,
should not be partisan and should be
thorough
Continuing his remarks, Mr.. McEwan
said that in his opinion the legislative
cations policy shops, gambling, green
goods, the water question, asphalt pave
ments, the cost per capita the past year
for inmates at Snake Hill, asc ompared
with like cost during preceding years
The Representative thought that the COM
mittee should inquire into the work of
the Board of Freeholders of Hudson
County and also thought it, would not be
amiss to look into the trouble concerning
the county's electric light system. In re-
lation to corruption of the ballot, he
said
vestigate the methods of holding prim-
aries in Hudson County. If it would do
this, the developments would stagger the
people beyond belief. This applies to both
parties. The criminal methods practiced
are beyond belief, they are SO outrageous.
The people of Hudson County once
thought they lived in a free county, but
the methods adopted in carrying primaries
show that this portion of the government
machinery is autocratic.
Zone outcome of the proposed investiga-
ton, if it is honestly conducted, will be
to bring about lower taxation. 1t will
show how unduly large the expenditures
for public purposes have been, and will
enable the people to ascertain where re-
ductions may properly be made.
There is one other thing that wish to
say,'' said Mr. McEwan, land that is in
relation to the charter of 1889 of Jersey
City This charter was obtained for the
benefit of the bosses. 1t should be re-
pealed, the rights of the Board of Alder
men should be restored and the power
of the Board of Street and Water Com
missioners should be curtailed.''

New York, giving savings banks of that
State the right to. invest in Hoboken
city bonds.
Municipal bonds are as a rule given to
the highest bidders. The latter, in the
case of Hoboken bonds, are generally
brokers or middle men, who make a
considerable profit in selling.
The laws of New York forbid savings
banks of that State from buying muni-

towns of various States-all of which are

troduced at Albany, including her name

that time some $S00000 worth of water
bonds were being f1oated. A 800, 900 block
was sold for $103 to provide for prelim-
the act referred to was passed and Cam
den securities were listed in New York for
saving bank investments.
A second block of $500 900 was then is
sued. The bid was 1.0S1a. Five and one
