and one at 1:13 P. M. Most of the big
men who were recognized, however, Went
out on the regular trains.
Mark Hanna, accompanied by Mrs.

than Mr. Hanna. All the notabies wore
high hats and dark overcoats.

Among these were.-"Im a Pilgrim. Z

YOUNG LAWYERS TOO FRESH
Recorder Stanton Gives Counsellor
Smith His Opinion.

Fred Yacraiono, a Neapolitan residing
at No 19S Washington street, Hoboken,
was arrested yesterday on a warrant is
sued by Acting Magistrate Reilly, of
Yonkers, charging grand larceny. An
tonic Esposito, of Yonkers, the complain
ant, alleges that Yacraiono stole from him
a gold watch and chain and a gold ring.
The arrest was made by Detective Quinn,
who had Detective Robinson of Yonkers
with him to establish Yacraiono's identity.
Recorder Stanton remanded the prisoner
for fifteen days despite the efforts of
Counsellor Joseph Smith to have him re-
leased Smith and the Recorder had a
lively tilt in court, The latter grew quite
warm and said
'You young lawyers in town are be-
coming too fresh"
Smith intends to go before Judge Lip
pincott and apply for writ of habeas
corpus. The Recorder had no right to
hold his client, he says, because the war
rant issued in another State was not en-
dorsed and the detective who made the ar
rest could not swear TO the crime with
which Yacraiono is charged.

Tract at Deal Beach.

There are many Jersey City people who
have summer cottages at Deal Beach, be-
tween Long Branch and Ocean Grove,
and If they are not fortunate enough

Grant. who spent many pleasant days at
the farm, and, If gossip be true these
two resembled Burns ancient cronies.
Tam OShanter and sonter Johnny, who
knew how to take their pleasures in any

DID NOT GET A RECEIVER
Affairs of the Jersey City Con-
struction Company
Complicated.

Vice Chancellor Stevens time was
mostly taken up this morning listening
to an application made by Otto Grouse
for a receiver of the Jersey City Con-
struction Company. The company was
Incorporated under the laws of New Jer-
sey for the purpose of building the plant
for the New Jersey and New York Tele-
phone Company of Easton. 1t contracted
to build plant of 400 telephones, for
which it was to receive $4,000 in gold
five per cent. bonds and $4,000 in COM
mon stock of the telephone company.
The bill for the receiver was filed in be-
half of Samuel A. Boyd of HopeweA,
N. J., who claims to own three-fourths
of the stock of the company. 1t sets forth
these facts and then goes on to say that
George r. Macy was engaged at $50 a
week as general manager of the COM
pany, and as such he had active con-
troll of the work. He was also made
treasurer of the construction company,
and by virtue of that office had control
of the finances of the concern The bill
also charges that the plant of the tele-
phone company Is only about half COM
pleted. 1t also charges that the business
of the company has been mismanaged
and the assets of the company have been
squandered: that 1t is with great diff
Guilty that the wages of the employees are
paid and that the treasurer has used the
funds and assets of the company as his
individual funds and assets.
1t was next charged that the construc-
ton company Is indebted to the Phoenix
Electric Company for telephones $1,000;
Louis M Simpson, Of New York. $500;
Louis M. Simpson and Clarence D.
cruikshank, $1,000; the Roebling Com
pany, of Trenton, a sum not mentioned;
The Wilbur Trust Company Of Bethle-
hem, SGT 500, and to other parties for tele-
phone poles a sum not mentioned. Ex-
Judge Irwin w. Schultz, of Phillipsburg,
counsel for the company, opposed the
application and read long affidavit OF
Macy, the general manager and treas
urer He denied that the company was
insolvent. The claim of Simpson, he
said, was In dispute and at one time the
construction company rendered the
amount. The other accounts mentioned
were not yet due, and when they become
due will be paid. The Vice Chancellor
heard arguments on both sides and then
denied the applications, but gave Mr.
Grouse an opportunity to renew the mo-
tion at future day, as the case pre-
sented some complicated features.

FEARED COLLAPSE
Demolition Of Taylor's Hotel
Alarmed the Adjoining
Owner.
NO lHJUEcTIou SUIT BEGUN
Amicable Understanding as
to Party Wall Mr.. ]. @.
Young's Denial.

The work of tearing down Taylor's
Hotel was temporarily stopped last week,
at least that part of the building adjoin-
ing Nos. Il and 13. and somehow the ru-
NOR started that Chancellor McGiIl had
granted an order to show cause why the
demolition should be restrained. No in
junction proceedings have begun.
The owner of the adjoining houses is
John Smith, who lives in New York City,
but who once ran saloons in Jersey City
at Hudson and Montgomery streets ana
on Exchange place He was afraid that, If
seagrist & Co, who have the contract to
tear down the hotel removed
erty and the men afterwards
proceeded to excavate for the foundat tons
for the new trust building his house
would topple over. Indeed the brickwork
around the windows in the rear Of Mr..
Smiths houses had already showed long
cracks. He at once consulted his lawyer.
Mr.. James D. Northrop, and he notified
Mr.. Allan McDermott, representing the
purchaser of the land, that there was
grave danger In touching the party wall.
Mr. McDermott at once told the eontrac-
tors not to work near the adjoining
houses until some agreement could be
made with Mr.. Smiths lawyer. The con-
tractors men stopped and lefta large por-
tion of the wall facing Exchange place
standing. An agreement is now being
made between the lawyers as to the party
wall and there viii be no danger of either
Mr.. Smiths building falling over or an
injunction suit being instituted

company's building, all sorts of rumors
have been circulated. Only last week a
local paper said that the syndicate. which
composed Mr. Geo w. Young of the U.
S. Mortgage & Trust Company his
brother, Mr.. James c. Young, Of the Reg
lister and Transfer Agency and Real Es-
tate Trust Company of Jersey City; Sem
ator Allan L. McDermott and a score of
influential financiers, had bought all the
block on Exchange place up to the build
ing next to the First National Bank The
yarn went on to state that the buildings
thus purchased were not to be improved
at present, but that 1t was bought so
that nothing could be built on 1t to In
terfere with the air and light Of the big
office building to be erected on the Tay-
lors Hotel site.
THAT is not true said Mr.. James c.
Young "our company has not done any
thing of the kind
Mr. Young would not discuss the plans
of the new company, adding that they
were not yet completed and would not be
ready vet for some time.
