MINKS CHANGE OF PLANS
Quaters Used by School No.
20 Not Again to Be Gccupi-
ed by Club.

It is rumored that the Minkakwa Re-
publican Club will never go back to the
building it vacated for the accommodation
of the pupils of No. 20 School. The struc-
ture is situated on Ocean avenue, midway
between Danforth and Gator avenues. II
is a two-story building, with two stores
in the front, one on each side.
Judging from what a prominent mem
Der said yesterday tronble has been brew
ing for some time between the owners of
the building and the members. This, it is
said. was caused by the rent charged and
the refusal on the part of the owners to
comply with several requests made by the
club.
.sSince the club decided to hire the
building to the Board of Education said
a prominent member, our rent has beer
month from the Board of Education, so
we lose money in the transaction besides
suffering all the inconvenience of tenn
porary quarters. We are also deprived
of the revenue from the pool and billiard
tables, which in a year amounts to con-
siderable.
"Al this has caused the members to
suggest various plans for a new club
house. 1t would not surprise me IL the
club purchases a site and erectS a new
clubhouse thereon.
Il certainly will vote against going
back to the building We vacated twe
weeks ago, and there are others who will
vote the same way

tainly bad, and there were many races of

81 am inclined to doubt that the water
alone is to blame for all the cases of dys-
entery,'' said Health officer Chandler af-
terward. "Dysentery is a common all
ment. AS for typhoid. not a single case
has been reported here. l would not be
surprised, though, if some were reported
soon. Some of these physicians who have
BEEN reporting dysentery as caused by
water will have to report some typhoid

at ALL caused by Passaic water"
DR.. E. E. Worl, Superintendent of the
Bureau of Contagious Diseases was asked
whether he thought the drinking water
was responsible for the many cases of
~dysentery.
II would not like to say" he said. ut is
unusual to have so many dysentery cases
in winter, and l believe some strong agent
is responsible for them. Thu water was
certainly vile when the Passaic River was
being drawn on. There was a quantity of
sewage present. But it must be under
stood that any change of water is liable
to produce dysentery."

TRENTON, March 3, 1S99.-Chfef Justice
Magic, with Justices Collins, Garrison and
Lippincott, yesterday heard arguments in
the Supreme Court in the case of the Sun
Insurance office, of London, against
Henry Metz. The case is noteworthy be-
cause of the number of prominent men
involved as the defendants.
The action is brought by the Sun Com
pany, a fire insurance company, against
Metz as a representative of the New
Jersey State Fire Insurance Association,
an organization of the Lloyds' plan, COM
posed of Metz and t~wenty-four other
members. The action is founded on a
contract of reinsurance made with the
Sun Company by the association, which,
by its terms, makes the liability of each
member of the association separate and
not Joint, and which limits the right of
action thereon against only one member
of the association. The recovery in such
suit being conclusive against n other
members.
! Among the twenty-five members OF
the association are named Vice President
Hobart and Attorney General Griggs,
Adiutant General William s. Stryker,
Comptroller William S. Hancock, John n.

right to hire and furnish an office but
it is a question if it is compulsory.
F%reeholders Scott and Fallon insisted
that the Board should provide the Com
missioners with accommodations the
same as the Board of Health or any
other counts board.
Director McNally was of the opinion
that the Commissioners should provide
themselves with an office out of their
own appropriation.
Freebooter Heating moved that an of
flee be provided and that the expense be
paid out of the appropriation for Court
House and Jail.
Counsellor Griffin said that the appro-
p~riation made to the Commissioners was
for the maintenance of the Boulevard and
the hiring of an officeNmight properly be
considered a part of that expense, but, he
thought that the purchase of furniture
could not be so considered. The resolu-
ton was adopted and the Freeholders will
foot the bill.
Thomas Mccarthy was appointed
Waterman at the Penitentiary at a salary
of $3.50 a year. There was some objection
on the part of Freebooter Ripe on ac-
count of the additional expense. He said
that a keeper from the Penitentiary could
be detailed to act as Waterman at the
gate. The appointment was made by a
vote of IA to 10.
A resolution by Freebooter Fallon that
no action be taken on Plank Road bridges
until pending litigation is settled, was
adopted. The Board will meet again on
March 8.

writing that he had returned to the con-
fra actors one CASE VI
