strictly honor. We give you the best-in

Germania Bank Asks for an Injunc-
ton Against G. BOuruuin

ton Against G. BOurquin.
The Germania Bank, in its capacity as
administrator of the estate of Ezra Reeve
late of the Stale Of New Jersey, filed a
petition for injunction and relief against
Guillemain Bourquin in the Superior Court
yesterday.
The petition alleges that during the
year certain lands belonging to the es-
tate of Reeve were advertised and sold
by John I. Roman, the then sheriff of the
county, under execution for unpaid taxes
The sale of the property was at public
outtry and the defendant in the suit that
has just been instituted became the pur-
chaser. The petition asks that the sale
be declared null and void, the property
revested in the estate of Reeve and this
defendant be permanently restrained and
enjoined from exercising any OF the rights
of ownership
In support of the plea for this action Of
the court it is charged in the petition that
the levy of the tax fl IA was made upor
property the value of which was greatly
in excess of the amount of the eXecu.
ton. Other property belonging 10 the es-
tate and situated n Chatham county might
have been levied on and the selection OF
the property so greatly exceeding in val.
ue the amount of the execution for taxes
been thus avoided Because the levy was
excessive il is alleged that it and the sole
TO Bourquin were illegal and void. The
amount of money paid by the purchaser
at the SALE with ten per Dent additional
as provided by law. has been rendered Il
Bourquin. but this he has consistently an6
steadily refused to accept OF to relinQuist
possession of the property.

100 or more have been anxious to get po-
sitions.
No such police force as is maintained
by the Central Railroad at its wharves
will be established, Mr.. Martin says. In
fact, there will be only few watchmen,
and these have already been secured The
location Of the terminals render them less

sary to maintain a regularly organized

TO THE GANG For A YEAR.
T. Brown Saved From Penitentinry
by Jury's Recommendation.

A jury in the Superior Court yesterday
found T. Brown guilty of the offense of
forgery. but on account of certain miti-
eating circumstances in the case recon-
mended, THAI he be punished as for a mis-
demeanor
The recommendation found favor in the
eyes of Judge Falligant and Brown was
sentenced 20 serve twelve months on the
county changing, in lieu of the payment
of q fine of 500 and the costs of the pros
ecution. His offense consisted of raising
The amount of an order for groceries he
had been given by It. S. Wylly & Co,
making it read 81 so instead of $3.50, its
original amount Brown said the larger
amount represented the sum to which
he was really entitled, and he seemed %
think he had done nothing particularly
wrong by making it for the sum he con-
sidered himself due.
II was more because of the way Brown
told his story than because of its own in
trinsic plausibl.ty, that the jury accom-
panied its verdict of guilty. with a recon-
mendation to punishment as for mlsde-
