GOOD OUTLOOK FOR HAY CROP.
State Experiment Station Makes
Report of Conditions,

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.
CENTRAL OFFICE. STATE EXPERT
MENT STATION, NEW BRUNSWICK.
May "a, 19O0-The reports received for the
week ending Monday, May q, 1900, show
that the abnormally warm weather that
prevailed during the first part of the week
was followed by local thunderstorms on
the 18th, and general and heavy rain on
the 18th and 18th, which was sufficient TO
thoroughly soak the ground. Grass is
greatly improved. and the outlook for a
fair crop of hay is much brighter; wheat,
rye and clover are growing rapidly; corn
planting was completed in the Central
section by the 18th, and is nearing the
finish in the Northern section. In the
Southern section, the setting out of sweet
potatoes and tomatoes is progressing, and
the shipping of early strawberries has be-
gun.
The injury done to orchard fruits,b by the
recent severe freeze, is not so serious
as at first reported. Although many bios
SONS were blasted, still apple, pear, plum
and peach trees have a very fair set of
fruit and are promising.

NOT ALL WRITTEN AT ONCE
Expert Kinsley Discredits the
Release in the Isaacs
Case.

William J. Kinsley, the expert in hand
writing, who figured so conspicuously IN
the Molineux murder trial, was the star
attraction in the sensational lsaacs trial
before Vice Chancellor Pitney yesterday
afternoon in the Court of Chancery. Mr
Kinsley was produced by Mrs. Sarah
Isaacs, who is seeking to foreclose a
mortgage on property in Bayonne owned
by Leopold zeman Zeman put in answer
setting UP that when Mrs. Isaacs's
daughter Marie released him from his
engagement to marry her, Zemans $
brother, Simon, who then owned the
property, was given a release OF the
mortgage. A release of the marriage en-
gagement was produced in court in which
was embodied the release of the mort
gage. This latter clause, the complainant
alleges, was incorporated in the release
after the document had been executed,
and it was to substantiate that claim that
Mr.. Kinsley was produced He testified
that the clause releasing the mortgage,
although in the same handwriting as the
other parts of the document was, in his
opinion. written some time after the other
portion.
after applying to the document what is
known as the ammonia process. By this
applying ammonia to ink. Mrs. Kinsley
testified, he could determine whether
parts of a document were all written at
the same time and what parts were writ
ten at different times.
Mr. Clarence Linn, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, started to cross-examine the ex-
pert. He asked some questions about the
number of celebrated cases he had been
connected with, then said
Have you ever made any mistakes in
your expert testimony
Before the witness could answer the
Vice Chancellor interrupted to say that
that would make no difference to him
whether he had or not. He, the Vice
Chancellor, believed it expert testimony,
but it should be limited to opinions.
Mr. Kinsley said he was perfectly will
ing to answer the question and said the
only mistake which he knew of having
committed he discovered himself and
rectified. OF course there might have
been others but that was all he knew of.
When the witness had finished his testi-
mony he produced a handsomely bound
album and requested the Vice Chancellor
and the lawyers in the case to give him
their autographs. They all complied with
the request.
Mrs Isaacs, the complainant, followed
the expert Her testimony was mainly a
vigorous shake of the head in denial of
the testimony which the two Zemans gave
when they were upon the stand. 1t was
evident to all present that everything but
cordial feelings existed between them. At
the conclusion of her testimony the case
went over to June Z.

FIGHTS ON IN COUNCIL
Hoboken's Ordinance Makers
Bicker Over Every
Step.

An ordinance authorizing special cleo
ton to be held in the Third ward, to fill
the vacancy in the Common Council
caused by the resignation of Councilman
James Londrigan, came up for final read
ing at the meeting of that body in Hobo
ken yesterday afternoon. Councilman
Richard Greten opposed the ordinance.
'sThe Third ward has one representative
in the Council now and there is no ocea-
sion or demand for another" he said.
"A special election, / am informed, will
entail an expense of at least $1,000, and
think we can spend the city's money for
better purposes than that. Street i'm
provements are badly needed and 81 600
would go a long way towards bringing
some of them about"
Councilman George Steils expressed the
same sentiment.
This election is a piece of reckless ex-
travagance,'' he said 1.-The Assistant
City Clerk should have resigned from the
Council before being reelected if he was
desirous Of having two representatives in
the Third ward. We have no money to
waste like this"
'"The election will not cost over $700 at
the most" put in Councilman John Fftz-
patrick. There is no reason why the
people of the Third ward should not be
entitled to two representatives like the
other wards. I move the ordinance be
voted upon.''
Councilnen Stels and Greten were the
only members of the board to vote nay
when the ballot was taken. The ordinance
was declared carried and July "a was
named for the election.
A resolution authorizing the City Clerk
TO advertise for sites for the new school
building was passed. Contracts for the
public wood and coal supply were award
ed to dealer John Kamena. His bids of
$422 per gross ton for coal and $9.46 per
cord of wood were the lowest among the
removal of the city's garbage was award
ed to former Councilman Harry Snyder,
his bid of SEQ per annum likewise being
the lowest presented.
The ordinance forbidding a higher tax
rate than 11a per cent. for municipal pur-
poses passed it's final reading and was for
mally adopted.
The ordinance passed recently by the
board transferring the conduct of the
public pound to the Health Commission
ers was supplemented by another ordi-
nance placing under their jurisdiction all
offices connected with that department.
The first ordinance, through an oversight,
vested in the Health Commissioners juris-
diction over the care of dogs only. The
ordinance discussed yesterday virtually
repealed the first one. The Health Com
missioners will now have direct super
vision over all the matters connected with
the running of the pound. They will ap-
point the pound keeper and other agents
in the department collect fines and issue
licenses for dogs.
Before adjourning the Council author
lied donations to the following organiza-
tions to enable them to observe Memorial
Day:-Exempt Firemens Association,
Major Christian Werner Post, Edwin A.
Stevens Naval Post, Sons of Veterans,
E. G. Brown Post and the Hoboken Vet
eran Corps.

MUST DISPLAY OIL PERMITS.
Dealers Must Have Them Placed
ConspicuousIy.

Chief Conway is beginning a crusade
against all dealers in kerosene oil who fail
to properly post their permits in con-
spicuous spot in their places of business.
The Chief said last evening: "Of late I
have been receiving complaints about this
mater, and although the Captains of the
different districts go over their territory
about eight times year every time they
make tour they are compelled to wait
until the proprietor rumages through his
place of business to find it, when it should
be posted directly inside the door.
"I intend to put a stop to this, and the
very first complaint I receive I will have
the license revoked. 1t is a dangerous
thing where the permit is not properly
posted. A number of dealers have saw
dust strewn about their floors and in
front Of their oil barrels, and if a person
smoking should carelessly throw his Gig
arctic or cigar or match near the barrels,
there might be very serious results. If the
permits were conspicuously posted it
would serve as a warning to those who
enter I will enforce the law to the let

and coucurred in.
Laborers' Local NO. 2, of North Hud-
son. submitted grievance against a New
York contractor who is putting up the
new Consumers Brewery. The Business
Agent reported that there were at least
twenty-five unskilled laborers employed on
the job, but he had seen and talked with
the superintendent of the work and he
felt confident that he would be able with
in few rays to bring about amicable re-
lations between the New York firm in
charge of the job and organized labor of
North Hudson. The matter was left en-
tirely in the hands of Mr.. Conroy. The
job is one of the biggest contracted for
in North Hudson during the past ten
years.
The carpenters and masons submitted
grievances against the contractor of
job in lower Greenville. The matter was
referred to the Business Agent for inves-
tigation at the earliest opportunity.

Agent F'ribourg for interfering with Spec
ial Business Agent Connolly during the
latter's work in connection with the Plum
bers' difficulty in North Hudson last

The matter was laid over for another
week in order to allow Special Agent Con-
molly to have his witnesses present.
