TROLLEY DEVELOPMENT.
Improvements on the Road
Mr.. David Young Says
Depend on the Con-
tracts.
NO OFFICIAL CHANGES YET
Amalgamation OF interests
Said to Have Already Re-
suited in Material
Benefit.
NO OFFICIAL CHANGES YET

David Young, the newly elected Presi-
dent of the North Hudson County Rail-
way Company, who still holds his position
as manager of the North Jersey Street
Railway Company was interviewed this
morning in his Office in Jersey City.
The further development of the road, he
said, would not be considered until he had
fully inquired into the existing contracts
of the company and the different fran
chises under which it is operating. When
asked if any changes among the heads of
the various departments were contem-
plated Mr.. Young said
Il am not at liberty at present to make
any statement on that subject Before
thoroughly satisfy myself as to the capa-
bilities of the various men employed
The condition of the tracks of the North
Hudson Company will receive consider
able attention. At present am dividing
my time equally in the office of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company
and that of the North Hudson Company
The amalgamation of interests has al
ready resulted in material benefit to the
patrons OF both lines, as my first Off
cial act as President of the North Hud-
son Company was the removal of the
deadlock at Newark avenue and Grove
street, and allow passengers from Hobo
ken to get to Exchange place, without
changing cars. Other changes calculated
to benefit the public are contemplated,
and the service will be as complete as
money and skill can make it..

SLEEPY DRIVER HURT.
His Horses Trying to Guide Them
selves Throw Him From His Seat.

George Toel, thirty-eight years old, OF
No. 81 West Thirty-ninth street, Bayonne'
met with serious accident yesterday
afternoon about four o clock while he was
driving home from New York with 4 load
of manure.
Toel is employed by Jacob Bender, q
farmer of Greenville. 1t appears that the
injured man had fallen asleep and the
horses were vending their way home as
best they could without guidance. At
ocean and Ege avenues the horses turned
out from the north side of the street to
avoid hitting another wagon, and in doing
so struck the car tracks obliquely, throw
ing the driver to the pavement.
He was cut about the head and face.
He secured medical attendance and went
home. Patrolman Meyers assisted the in
jured man to the Ocean avenue station
house. Another driver was sent to take
the rig tothestab le.

Superintendent Bertholf Held
inS,2500 Bail for Aiding
and Abetting Green
Goods Men.

The indictments against the Western
Union Telegraph Company and John 3.
Bertholf. the local manager, for aiding
and abetting the green goods swindlers
were handed up in court yesterday after
noon together with number of other IN
dictments. Justice Lippineott and Judge
Blair We're on the bench when the Grand
Jury filed in. After handing up the batch
of indictments, Foreman George T..
Bouton called the attention of the Court
to the fact that there was evidently a
very. large leakage as to what occurred
in the Grand Jury room and suggested
that something should be done to ascer-
tain where the leak was and stop IT, Ihe
facts as to the indictments in the green
goods matter had been made public before
the indictments had been presented to the
Court Justice Lippincott said that ne
would call the attention of the Prosecutor
to the matter and request that rigid
investigation be made.
After the jury had retired capias was
issued for the arrest of Bertholf and sent
down to Chief Murphy at Police Head
quarters. he Chief turned it over to De-
tective Doyle, who arrested Berthof ana
took him to headquarters. The prisoner
was booked there and then taken by De-
tective Doyle to the Court House and
turned over to Sheriff Heller. Clerk John
r. Purtell, of the General Sessions Court,
was sent for and took bail. The Court
had fixed the bail at $3.50 and it was fur
nished by Nat E. Smith, the real estate
dealer. Bertholf will probably be ar
raigned on Monday to plead to the indict-
M Mt. Summonses will be issued for the
officers and directors Of the Western
Union Company and they will plead
through counsel.

WATER CRANKS SILENT.
Troublesome Element Re-
Trains From Opposing
the Signing Of the
Flynn Contract.
PROBABLE M'EWAN CERTIORARI
Ground May be Broken on the
Work Within an Hour
of Signature.

Mayor Hoos has arrived at the conclu-
sion that property owners must be pret-
ty well satisfied with the form and con-
tents of the proposed water contract
which is to be entered into with ?. H.
Flynn. Outside Of the conversation he
had with President Heppenheimer on the
subject no one has been to see him, mol
has anyone communicated with him on
the subject. Even the old time water
cranks have absented themselves, and
they have also refrained from delugins
His Honor with typewriter copies of
statistics Not a suggestion of any kind
which might be construed to improve the
contract has been made In view Of this
situation the Mayor has just about made
up his mind that it is his duty to the
property owners of the city to attach his
signature to the award.
When he will perform that important
act is not known, nor will the Mayor say
anything on the subject The Mayor
maintains the same discreet silence he
has held ever since the Flynn proposition
was taken up for consideration. Unless
all signs fail the contract will have been
approved by the Mayor before next Satur-
day.
Mr. Flynn and his associates are ready
to break ground for the great work, it is
said within an hour after the contract
shall have been duly executed
1t is confidently expected that some
member of the McEwan household will
certiorari the award for purely sentimen-
tai reasons or something bordering on
politics. Corporation Counsel McDermott
| is confident that the award has been reg
ular. Counsel for Mr.. Flynn are also
| confident that the contract will be upheld
by the courts

SNUBBED CAPT. HAYES.
Recorder stanton Objects to
Reversal of His Commit
ment ~ Police Officers.

Gustav Duetschmann, a carpenter, who
said that he lived at No. "A Newark street,
Hoboken, was arrested in that city early
this morning by Officer Gutheil About
five o'clock this morning Duetschmann
got an idea into his head that he wanted
to go to Jersey City. He didn't wait to
put on coat and hat. Duetschmann
boarded Grove street car on Newark
street.
When the conductor asked him for his
fare, he at first refused to give it. When
the conductor informed the man that he
must either pay or foot it, the man
put his hand down in his pocket and
pulling out a big roll of bills, threw it
at the conductor. The conductor thought
that there was something the matter
with the man and called Officer Guthei,
who was standing on the corner of New
ark and Ocean streets. Gutheil. took the
man to Police Headquarters.
Deutschmann was arraigned before Re-
corar Stanton this morning. The Re-
corder committed him to await examina-
ton as to his sanity, and in doing so
took occasion to censure Police Captain
HAYES. The Captain was not in court,
to 10 -orm the Captain that this commit
ment was not subject to reversal by the
Captain. In concluding he said:-
II never heard that Captain Hayes was
graduate of any medical college, and
therefore I don't believe that he is capable
to judge as to the mental or physical
condition of a person.
On wednesday last Recorder Stanton
committed Mrs. Ida Kirschner to be
examined as to her sanity. Captain Hayes
took it upon his own shoulders to reverse
the commitment and instead of sending
the woman to the county jail sent her to
st. Marys Hospital.
This aggravated the Recorder, and here
after. he says, when he commits persons
to the County Jail he'll see that they are
sent there instead of an hospital.

LEGISLATION RUN MAD
Wild Schemes Of the Repub-
lican Machine Ballot
Law Monstrosities.

The Legislative Committee of the Hud-
son County Committee met last night az
the home of Flavel MeGee, chairman OF
the committee on Montgomery street,
near the Boulevard There We're present
besides Mr.. McGee, E. w. Wooiley sam
uel Dickinson, Frank ]. Higgins ana FOR
mer Assemblyman Shrope.
The committee took important action In
regard to the Werts ballot law, which IS
essentially the one now in use throughout
the State 1t was decided to ask the Leg
islature to do away with the greater part
of the law The committee agreed TO ask
for the adoption Of the Australian ballot,
which is now in use in New York and
elsewhere Under the Australian system
the names of all the candidates are print
ed on a single ballot, which because of its
size has been termed the .blanket ball
lot" The voter denotes by cross which
candidate he win vote for for each office.
This does away with the use of pastors.
The Hudson Republicans will do all in
their power to have the Australian ballot
adopted.
They will also endeavor to have the law
respecting the registration of voters
changed. They want to abolish registry
by affidavit altogether, and to compel
every voter to register in person. Ihey
would also do away with sections ~ ana
50 of the Werts act. Section 80 provides
| that on election day the Election Board
at each polling place may issue certln-
Gates of transfer to voters who may nave
moved to other election precincts. rms,
the Legislative Committee claims, leaves
| room for fraud Section 50 provides that
ubere a nerson has voted Illegally on
another. mans name, the man whose
name has been borrowed can vote py
proving that he is the person registered.
The committee did not discuss the talked
| of measure to reduce the Freeholders te
five. The proposed bipartisan Fire Boaro
and Police Board legislation, however
was discussed, but no definite CONCLUSION
was reached. All the plans which nave
been proposed for the purpose of prevent
ing the Police Board and Fire BoSrf from
falling into the hands Of the Dc iocrats
were fully discussed but defects were
found in them all The plan which ap-
| parently met with most favor was tha'
which was once proposed for Newark
known as the Harrfgan act. 1t PROVIDES
| that the City Committees of the two par
| ties shall each name two candidates Wne
shall be appointed by the Mayor ane
confirmed by the Common Council An
other plan considered was similar to tbs
above except that it did not provide fol
confirmation by the Common Council OF
Board OF Aldermen. Still another plar
| was to have each committee name ter
men. from among whom the Mayor might
select two from each party. The Repub-
ncan leaders will confer with Major Car
Lentz before deciding definitely upon the
bipartisan legislation.
