is that he shall appoint civil gov

which he appoints are to have veto

SOUTH COVE PROBLEM
Street and Water Board Con~
sidering Ways for De-
veIoping the Property.

There was a conference this morning In
the Street and Water Board offices over
the South Cove grant. The Central Rail-
road Company sought the interview be-
cause they were anxious to get their prop
erty off the ground as rapidly as possf-
BILE. While willing to grant the company
any reasonable time to remove what be-
longs to the company from the Cove. the
Commissioners wish to have the city's
rights established as quickly as possible
In this matter Commissioner Anthony
Hauck is taking very deep interest. be-
ing one of the first to push the cove
matter to a final stage. With him Mr.. j.
S. Nolan, who also thinks that the city
should Immediately reap some benefit
from the property.
"Tne Street and Water Commissioners,
said Mr.. Hauck mean to develop that
property as rapidly as possible. If Others
have been able to make money out of -it
surely Jersey City can do so. You UNDER
stand. ofscourse that it is a very difficult
problem to solve, what to do with the
Cove. We intend to make it remunera-
tive to the city and will do So There
have been many schemes advanced for its
development, all of which will be CAREFUL

alive to its responsibilities, and will see
that the best scheme is adopted"

WANT THE ALLEY CLOSED
Board OF Health Refuses Petition
OF Property Owners.

A petition, signed by a number of resi-
dents of the Horseshoe was presented
to the Board of Health, last night, COM
planning of the alleged unhealthy condi-
tion Of an alleyway, so feet west of Jer-
sey avenue, and running from Eleventh
to Twelfth streets.
Inspector Benjamin said he had mves-
tigated the alley on several occasions and
always found it in good condition. He
Informed the Board that the alleyway
was private property and the city could
not close it. The inspector recommended
that if the residents wished the alley
way closed they could put up gates them
selves.
The petition among other things says
aft is almost impossible to keep it clear
from stenching refuse of all kinds, as well
as dead dogs. cats. ETC., which in not
weather become unbearable. Most OF the
sickness in this vicinity is certainly at
tributed to this nuisance
The Board rejected the request at the
suggestion of Inspector Benjamin. Presi-
dent McGill ordered that gates be placed
at either end by the citizens themselves

NO MONEY FOR STREET LIGHTS.
So Hoboked Council Amended the
Tax Budget.

The attention of the Hoboken Common
Council was occupied for over three hours
yesterday afternoon with the annual tax
budget. The failure of the Tax Commits
sioners to appropriate for street lighting
concern, as they were not certain that the
omission of the Commissioners could be
legally rectified by them.
Corporation Attorney Minturn submit
ted lengthy opinion on the question at
issue, in which he expressed the belief
that the Council could legally provide for
the meeting of the contract
The proposition is a perfectly clear
one, the report read, that the Council
has no power to increase or exceed APP
preparations unless that power be speci-
fically given by the Legislature. The
Legislature, in 1894, however, passed two
acts, under either or both of which you
are empowered to amend the tax ordi-
nance for the purpose of street lighting.
You are. therefore, at liberty under these
acts to amend the ordinance as to cer-
tify to the assessors, by resolution. the
amount of the annual payment under
your contract for lighting, and they will
include it in the annual levy as part of
the budget for the fiscal year.
The tax ordinance was amended as sug-
gested, an extra $4,000 being included In
the levy to meet the light contract This
ordinance was then passed on its second
reading, the total amount Of the levy be-

who lives at No. 3S1 East Eighty-fir
street. that city, was arraigned before
Police Justice Nevip, in the First Crimi-
nal Court. this morning, charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses. Mrs.
Bridget Brennan, of No. 154 Seventh
street, was the complainant.
Several months ago. said Mrs. Bren-
nan in court this morning, "Sheuske came
to my house and asked me if wished any
crayon portraits made He handed me
a card of the American Photograph Co.
I gave him photograph of my deceased
husband and ordered a crayon made. I
wrote to the company several weeks later
having heard nothing from the agent or
the crayon. 1 received reply that the
American Photograph Co. had sold out
to the Great Eastern Art Co, and that
a search would be made for the photo
graph of my dead husband, that was
found to have been missing
About a week ago, Schenske called on
me and informed me that if gave him
dollar he would deliver the portrait last
Wednesday. I gave him the dollar but
the portrait did not arrive. He again
called at the house yesterday and |
called an officer and had him arrested.
Schenske denied that he had obtained
any money fraudulently and when he
went to the house yesterday he called to
return the 81 Mrs. Brennan had given
him.
While Schenske was giving his test1-
mony Mrs. Brennan. who was standing in
front of Police Justice Nevin's desk, was
seen to throw up her hands Had she
not been caught by Counsellor Donean
she would have fallen to the floor Mrs.
Brennan had tainted. She was carried into
Justice Nevin's private office, where she
soon revived.
The case was adjourned until tomorrow
morning in order to give Mrs. Brennan a
chance to visit the office of the Great

NINTH WILL KEEP QUIET
Anti -Ringsters Have Decided
ITO Take a Rest =
Landrine Talks.

A session of the Ninth Ward Republi-
can Club is scheduled for this evening.
Contrary to custom, and marvellous to re-
late. no scrapping is anticipated. A real
nice, quiet meeting is expected, as the an
ti-ringsters have decided not to combat
the machine people at present. This part
of the political programme will be rem
dered later on in the season, when boons
are launched and the campaign begins
in earnest.
1t was rumored that another preamble
and resolution would be offered censur-
ing the Organization Committee of the
County Committee for it's alleged attempt
to ..solidify'' the disrupted forces of the
demoralized G. o. P. This was denied
by the anti-ring people
Mr.. John P. Landrine in discussing the
recommendations made public by the Or
ganization Committee, Friday night, at
it's conference, said that he was almost
sure that more than two of the bunch
of twenty members would stand by the
minority report. This report, by the way
was submitted by Chairman Aaron >.
Baldwin, and it was recommended the
resignation of all the present officers OF
the County Committee and the election
of new ones to run the affairs of the par
ty in the county This was smothered,
Mr.. Baldwin and Alderman Decker being
the only ones to favor its adoption.

drine. "that the members swallowed such
rot as those recommendations. Good
heavens, if they want the party 10 De
prosperous, why in the name OF common
sense don't they go about 1t in the prop
er manner? The State Committee should
have a hand in the adjustment of af-
fairs in this county, for the discussion
is growing so rapidly that it will become
Infectious Then not this county alone Will
suffer. but the whole State.
81 have said before that the people Will
not stand for the actions of the present
leaders. They will not get out as request
ed. and therefore the people will not sup
port them or become subservient to boss
ism of that calibre. 1 am perfectly will
ing for matters to continue thus, if the
bosses see fit 10 carry on the old tactics.
The party has gone to the dogs, and can
go but little lower in the mire. 1t never
will be a power until we get rid of
certain class of people, who are always
looking for personal gain.
81 have done my share of work for the
party. and anyone can see the reward l
have had bestowed upon me by that gang
of bushwhackers. The time has come
when the decent element will no longer
tolerate such miserable low proceedings,
and the results in this ward of late GER
taillly go to bear out my statements My
business is too important to be neglected

Wages.

Beginning July l, the two hundred en-
ployes who have been connected with the
Manhattan Electrical Supply Company of
this city for one year will have their
wages raised ten per cent. This is due
to the increase in the price of the mater
ial used.

when seen this afternoon, said the owners
had come to the conclusion that the en-
ployes are entitled to, some of the bene-
fits from the increase.
1--WE employ about three hundred peo-
ple," said he, "and two hundred of these
will have their salaries increased. The
business has increased greatly, so much
so that it will necessitate the erection of
another building adjoining the present
factory on Morris street. We will then
employ about two hundred more hands.

TO TRY MURRAY.
Police Commissioners Will
Investigate Miss Bakers
Charges.

Chief of Police Murphy last night sub
mitted to the Police Commissioners de-
tailed report of the case against Officer
Murray of the Oakland avenue station
who was accused by Miss Josephine Bak-
er with having criminally assaulted her
on the Hoboken avenue hill, Sunday
June IL The Chief also reported that
officer Murray had been suspended from
the force pending the outcome of charges
made to the Commissioners recently. The
details of the affair and the verdict of
mot guilty. as rendered by Police JUS
tice Potts, in the Second Criminal Court,
several days ago, have been fully pub
lished.
President McGill said that notwith-
standing the hearing in the case held be-
fore Police Justice Potts in the Second
Criminal Court, the Commissioners should
sift this matter to the bottom. He said
the Board should not consider the hearing
at all. The Commissioners finally decided
to defer action in the case until the mat
ter was investigated by the Grand Jury.
A communication was received from the
Board of Finance reporting the adoption
of the resolution from the Board of Police
Commissioners recommending that the
Comptroller transfer the sum of $1,000
from the electric lighting account to the
general account
The Board also asked an appropriation
from the Finance Commissioners for the
erection of new station house in the
Sixth precinct. The matter was, however,
laid over until plans and specifications
could be prepared.
Twenty DAYS leave of absence with
out pay was granted Roundsman Sheri-
dan. He has been advised to take a
Southern trip for the benefit of his health
by Police Surgeon Nevin.
The pay roll, amounting to $39,64S9 92,
was passed. 1t was decided to sell all
unserviceable property on hand.
