DOES NOT FAVOR COUNTY.
Mayor Hoos Will Not Let the
City Pay Her Until She
SetteIs Her Bills.

Mayor Hoos has put the gloves on with
the County Board of Freeholders. The
Finance Commissioners at their last
meeting at the instance of Comptroller
Hough ordered $4,000 paid to County Col
lector Hugh Dugan on account of the
county taxes of 1885,
Mayor Hoos, upon receipt OF the resolu-
ton, returned it and with it a veto.
The city furnishes the county institu-
tions with water and the Freeholders
have allowed the bills to accumulate url-
til the county is in arrears to the extent
of several thousand dollars.
Demands for payment are ignored. Last
year a payment was extorted from the
Freeholders by the refusal of the city to
pay its county taxes. Mayor Hoos is OF
the opinion that the pursuance of SINH
lar course at this time will result bene-
ficially.
County Collector Dugan does not like
proposition. He says that it. there is
much more '.monkeying' he will exercise
all power reposed in him and force the
city to pay its county taxes before II
makes any other payments.
Comptroller Hough intends attempting
to adjust the difficulty.

WALSH SURPRISE.
The Sensational Case Ends
In Billing and
Cooling.
WILL TRY 1T AGAIN
The Jury's Attention is Direc-
ted. ito Love Scene Be-
tween Husband and
~ Wife.

A great deal of interest has been taken
in the case of Henry j. Walsh, OF NO. COL
Park avenue, Hoboken, whose examlha-
tion before a jury and commission ap-
pointed by Chancellor McGill. on the ap-
plication of Mrs. Henry Gilligan to nave
him adjudged an habitual drunkard, came
up for the third hearing in the DISTRICT
Court yesterday.
In his address to the jury on the open
ing of the defence last Monday, Coun-
sellor Cannon hinted at some startling
evidence to be adduced in his clients be-
half. He would prove. he said, that ne
had been approached by certain interest
ed persons with a view to having MIN
drop Mr.. Walsh's case.
The court room was crowded when the
hour for the hearing arrived, but the
curious anticipating audience was DOOM
ed to disappointment. The jurors nao no
sooner taken their seats than Mr.A MIL
turn, counsel for the complainant arose
and pointing to Mr.. and Mrs. Walsh VINO
were engaged in a very animated conVer-
sation, said
Gentlemen, you no doubt nave peeh
able to judge from observing this pleas
ant love scene between Mr.. Walsn anu
his wife that they have concluded to ann
cably settle their troubles. The un-
pleasant ordeal through which they have
passed has been lesson to both.
'aThey have lived a happy life togetner
for nearly forty years. until Mr.. Waishs
retirement from business when SATAN
who finds some mischief still for idle
hands to do, threw temptation IN the way
of the old gentleman. However, they
agree to start afresh and request that the
jury be discharged"
Counsellor Cannon suggested that the
Commissioner charge the jury to find for
the defendant, but Mr.. Skinner said tnat
such a course would be impossible, as
the Commissioners were appointed simply
to direct the administration of the de-
fendant's estate in the event of his being
adjudged an habitual drunkard and mad
no power to influence the jury IN any way
By his direction, Mr.. Joseph Weinthai'
one of the jurors, was directed to step out
and the remaining eleven were discharged
making the case a mistrial.
The principals and their counsel mad
conference before leaving the court room
and then adjourned to Mr.. M1nturn'

WHAT TH[Y'VANT.
County Republican Com.
mittee Meets and Decides
Future Action.

The Legislative Committee OF the Hud-
son County Republican Committee met
last night in the Union League CLUB ana
discussed various measures that 1t Is pro-
posed to introduce in the near future.
The bipartisan Police and Fire Board
bills were discussed, but 1t is said oy
members Of the Committee who were
pres . t that nothing definite was decided
upon.
Aside from the bipartisan bills the
principal subject discussed last night was
the proposed changes in the election laws.
These are to be many. In the first place
the Hudson Republicans want the blanket
or Australian ballot system adopted
throughout the State. They do not an
ticipate any success in that quarter, but
|the bill for it will be INTRODUCED just the
same.
Others amendments which they have
discussed with the members of the Elec-
ton Committee of the Legislature they
are reasonably assured will go through.
A conference between the Legislative
Committee from Hudson and the Election
Committee from the Legislature was held
in Trenton on Monday night
The committee hopes to carry the early
closing amendment, which provides that
the polls shall close at five o'clock, in
stead of seven o'clock, as at present.
The abolition of the removal certificate
was also discussed. At present removal
certificates are granted from one ward to
another. 1t would be very easy matter
in doubtful election to move fifty men
over into the doubtful ward and move
them back again the next day, as only
one nights residence in. another ward is
necessary to secure certificate. The bill
will provide that removal certificates may
be given only in the same ward.
A measure was also considered for the
appointment of Boulevard Commissioners
in case of vacancy, there being no pro-
vision in the Boulevard act for such a
contingency.
