The completion to Jackson of the
Gulf & Ship Island Railroad has al
ready had an effect in Mississippi typi-
cal of the general results of railroad
extension in the South. Already many
little tons have sprung up along the
1875 miles of the railroad, mills to cut
lumber have been established, and
thousands of men have secured en-
ployment at good wages. Another
question involved in the opening of the
new road, that of deep water harbor
on the Mississippi coast, is referred TO
as follows, by Jackson correspondent
of the Manufacturers Record:
1T has been the cherished dream of
Mississippi since 1910, and the State
has made appropriations time and
again to build railroad which would
give an outlet to deep water on our
coast, but the project has until re-
Gently failed. Now at GulfpOrt, which
is a thriving town of some 1000 in
habitants, it looks as though the long
deferred hope of our people will be
realized. II is the Southern terminus
of the Gulf & Ship Island Railroad
and has excellent harbor facilities
The Government only recently made
large appropriation for dredging a
channel from the piers to Ship Island
harbor, and the work is progressing in
a manner most satisfactory"
The rumOr that the Carnegie inter-
ests have purchased extensive Besse-
mer ore properties at Llano, Texas,
again calls attention to the fact that
the extensive mineral wealth of that
district must play an important part
in the future in the development
Of American industry. If the pur-
chase of this great ore field has
been made, it must represent an
investment looking to that future,
or else an indication that iron
and steel works are to be constructed
there, as the distance is too great to
Justify the shipment of ore to the East
under present conditions of transpor-
tatiOn.

CROSSING SEVENTEEN ST
Mayor Hoos Signs Resolution
for Oil Company--Pipe to
Be Guarded.

Mayor Hoos has signed the resolution
of the Street and Water Board giving per
mission to the Crew-Levick Oil Company
to lay tracks across the western end OF
Seventeenth street, but on the condition
that the company pays 500 per year to
the city and provides for the safety of
the water pipe which runs down that
strip of land.
The contract between the city and the
company expressly sets out that the work
of laying the tracks across the pipe shall
be done under the direction of the Chief
Engineer. The plans drawn by the COM
pany for the crossing show that piles viii
be driven on both sides of street with a
small embankment running down to the
pipe and on the top of the piles the rails
will be laid. They will therefore be clear
of the pipe.
While the action of the city officials is
satisfactory to thin, it is not to members
of the Seventeenth Street Improvement
Association, who have plans of their own
with regard to that street and are un-
alterably opposed to grade crossings in
the city generally and in that district
particularly: A prominent member of
that organization, Mr.. Andrew J. Cor
coran, had this to say about it this morn
ing, after a telephone communication
with the Mayor
ut seems to me that they have grant
ed the crossing for the paltry sum of $100
is the lamest excuse I've ever heard. If
anyone takes into consideration the
amount of deaths at railroad crossings
this action seems like putting a price on
human life la Gummere. The city
authorities have granted this grade cross
ing under the cloak that the Oil Company
is selling at price less than anyone else
in this city. How Utterly ridiculous just
as if any business man didn't know that
the company is selling oil to other cities,
from which it ha sreceived no benefits,
at the same price it is selling in Jersey
City. If this grade crossing hadn't been
granted the company would have been
obliged to employ many Jersey City
laborers to carry oil across the street.
To save that labor they Goa the city
officials into giving them this crossing
for the magnificent compensation yearly
of 500, a fine labor saving device truly

SCARED THE MAYOR.
Mass Meeting TN the Re-
servoir" Passes Reso-
lutions.

Mayor Hoos started when he read the
first two lines of a communication in ref
erence to the improvement of the old
reservoir, but on continuing his perusai OF
the document he was reassured that no
calamity had occurred. The communlca-
ton reads as follows:-
1--WE the citizens of Jersey City in the
reservoir assembled this sixteenth day OF
June, 1900 do hereby endorse the follow
ing resolutions
"Whereas, The unused reservoir IN IT'S
present state is an eyesore to the citizens
and visitors of this city, and believing
the same can be improved with little eX-
pense; be it
Resolved, That the Mayor and Board Oh
Finance appropriate sufficient money 10
level off the reservoir so that 1t can be
used as a recreation ground; and be Il
further
Resolved, That about five baseball dla-
monds and space for football playing cdn
be placed within said reservoir, and We
are convinced that with this Improvement
made 1t will be very much appreciated
by the citizens, and that the nuisanees
now existing will be completely done away
with. ,r,,,p
ROBERl MOlIe,
chairman of Meeting.
FREDERICK BUGASCH,
Secretary"
Mayor Hoos sent to the Board of FL
nance the following communication
which, it is expected, will be acted upon
at this afternoons meeting of that body
June 90 1900.
Honorable Board of Finance.
Gentlemen-I enclose herewith copy OF
a resolution passed by some of our citl-
zens relative to the improvement of the
reservoir.
This is a matter which consider de-
mands immediate attention and in my
opinion the enclosed resolutions voice the
sentiments of the citizens of the entire
city.
I urgently request that you Immediately
appropriate the necessary money to the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers for this much needed Improvement
The reservoir is at present an eyesore ana
will remain so until some action is taken
by your Board This spot could be so I'M
proved as to make it a place for recreation
and should occasion demand 1t IN the
future, could be used as reservoir again.
The outlay would be small and the benent
derived therefrom would be great. I trust
that your Honorable Board will see the
advisabflity of immediate action in this
matter.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD HoOS. Mayor.
AS stated in Mondays "News" mass
meeting was held on the reservoir site
Saturday afternoon under the joint aus
pices of the Hudson City and the Twelfth
Ward Public Improvement Association,
and resolutions were passed asking that
the authorities convert the old reservoir
site into playground for school boys and
young athletes of the city. The Street
and Water Boadr has already asked the
Financiers for ss for that purpose. The
scheme has the sanction of School Super
intendent Henry Snyder and President
Mulvaney of the Board of Education.
The Street and Water Board has al
ready resolved to do something in that
line provided the Board of Finance will

Corporation Counsel Gives
an Adverse Opinion On
Bond Raising Ques-
tinn.
CITY HAS NO POWER TO BUILD
Bill introduced Last Session
While Passed In Senate
Was Not Approved
By Assembly.

Those who have been agitating new
High School for this city will be eXceeu-
inyly sorry to learn thata for the present
their pet scheme is possible and We're the
Board of Finance to appropriate the
money and the Mayor to approve Oh IL the
chances are they would be liable to IN
dictment.
The plain fact is that there is no law
under and by which the city can issue
bonds for that purpose. Mr.. Allan NC
Dermott the Corporation Counsel, who
has bene carefully studying the Board OF
Finances request to hunt up law I'M
der which they could buy land and issue
bonds for New High School, gives 1t as
his opinion:-
In the matter of the power of Jersey
City to erect High School, l beg leave to
refer your honorable body to my opinion
submitted January last. If the case OF
Lowthrop V. Trenton Creported in 81
Vroom, p. 1850, correctly states the con-
stitutional limitations imposed upon the
Legislature of New Jersey, there is not
at present any law under which Jersey
City can erect High School In my COM
munication of last January l expressed
the belief that the Legislature would con-
fer the desired authority upon Jersey City
and other municipalities. 1 prepared o
bill for this purpose and it was passed by
the Senate, but failed to receive the ap-
proval of the House of Assembly.
while the case of Lowthrop V. Tren-
ton is the utterance of the Court of
Errors and Appeals, 1 believe that many
of its propositions are dicta that will
not be supported when put directly in
issue. While, however, that decision
stands unmodified in its expression, it
would be useless to attempt to market
bonds in order to obtain funds to erect
a High School. The city, therefore, has
the choice of proceeding, and submitting
it's procedure to the courts with the hope
of avoiding the decision in Lowthrop V.
Trenton, or waiting for further legisla-
ton.
Respectfully,
ALLAN L. McDERMOTT,
Corporation Counsel

ardent advocate for new High School,
read the opinion, he said:-

Kitohener's Liking for the Stage.

When Lord Kitchener Joined the Royal
Engineers, now nearly thirty years ago,
he was tall, slim, very handsome young
man. The former sirdar did not at first
take to the army, but had serious
thoughts of going on the stage, and was
one day, while in London, introduced by
a comrade to the late George Honey.
Young Kitchener consulted George on the
subject Of his histronic ambition. Henry
looked critically at the officer and re-
marked

me tell you, you'd be better off as a. sap

L0U|S'S REVENGE.
He Retaliates on the Lead
ers by Resigning His
Offices.

Chairman Louis Stubenvoll, of the Ninth
Ward Republican Association and treas
urer of the Bergen Republican Club. has
announced his intention of resigning from
both Offices There are to be meetings
of both organizations on Tuesday evening
of next week.
Mr.. Stubenvolls decision was brought
about by his recent ill-treatment at the
hanas of the machine leaders. Louis was,
before the committees for 1900 were an
nounced, chairman of the Organization
Committee of the County Committee. He
claims that he was sold out and dropped
from the Executive Committee, place
he was entitled to by virtue of being
chairman of the Organization Committee.
There were several reasons given for the
move, of the leaders. One was that Louis
never could do the work that devolved
upon the chairman of the committee ne
represented Others, and one who GER
tainly deserves all that's coming to him. =
was mentioned as having performed all
the work that should have fallen to the
lot of Mr. Louis. This distinguished per-
son was Edward T. Mitchell, who is now
the chairman of the Organization Com
mittee and Mr.. Stubenvoll's successor.
Accordingly Louis was side-tracked. He
was shelved, given the marble heart and
told that there was "nothin' doin'," in
the way of appointments So came Louis
fall from grace. Today he says he hopes
to get back at his good friends. But Louis
will not retire from the chairmanship OF
the Ward Association without having
some say as to just who his successor is
to be. He wants man who will act on
the level and do the thing squarely. NO
favoritism for him. Louis will stay in the
club and association for a while at least.
He is undecided as to whether he will get
out of both organizations.
At the last session of the County Com
mittee the resignation of Louis was an
ticipated. So sure were the Ninth ward
leaders that they had man ready to take
his place This person was Edward I.
Brown. Instead of doing as they an
ticipated, another sort of surprise was
sprung on the committee. This was a
protest against Edward T. Mitchell as
chairman of the Organization Committee,
and it was signed by more than dozen
members of the County Committee.
Who will succeed Chairman Stubenvoll
in the Ward Association is not known.
An interesting session is looked for next
week
