PROUD COMMISSIONERS.
Riparian Boards Report Will Show
an Increased Income.

The Riparian Commissioners held
meeting yesterday in their office in this
city and considered their annual report.
The Commissioners are tickled over the
fact that 1t will turn into the State
treasury this year 100000 more than they
did last year and this sum is exclusive
of money received on contracts made pre-
vious to the beginning of the year. The
Board again took UP the matter of the
application of Atlantic City for the land
under water at the ends of the citys
streets. AT the last meeting of the Board
application was granted at the prevailing
prices. Yesterday morning Mr. Godfrey,
Corporation Attorney of Atlantic City
together with Joseph Coult, Of Newark
appeared before the Board and asked that
the matter be reopened. They said that
private citizens had donated two of the
four mile covered by the board walk and
they thought the State should be equally
as generous
The Commissioner replied that the ap-
plication had been inthe usual form with
nothing about it to show that it was for
public purposes and the Board could only
do as it had. However, it would allow
the city to withdaw it application and
renew it on the ground that the land is
wanted for public purposes. 1t is prob
able that under the circumstances the
ciyt will bet the land at a nominal cost.

TROUBLE OVER CLIFF ESTATE.
Heirs Of His Wife Arrested for Taxi
ing the Property.

A fight which threatens to end in a long
legal controversy is in progress over the
estate of William Cliff, formerly well
known resident of Hoboken. Cliff died
in September last, four days after his wife
had passed away.
Cliff kept a saloon at Second street and
Park avenue. He was at one time very
popular in Democratic politics. Both he
and his wife died intestate. Upon their
death Mrs Bebecca Jones, sister of Mrs.
Gift, and her husband, Obediah Jones, OF
No. 123 Lawrence street, Paterson, took
possession of the house and personal prop
erty. Jones restocked the saloon with
liquors and began to continue the busi-
ness He had been installed but few
days when Deputy Surrogate John E.
Moody, who was appointed administrator
of the estate by Surrogate Lilhs, had
Jones and his wife elected.
Mesrs Marnell and Fallon, counsel for
the estate, appeared this morning before
Justice of the Peace George F. Seymour
and swore out warrants for the arrest of
Jones and his wife and their daughter
Jennie and their son George E. Jones, on
a charge of unlawfully carrying off over
81, 900 worth of jewelry and other prop
erty from the premises.
The prisoners furnished bail in the sum
of $500 each to appear for examination
next week. In the meantime counsel for
the estate will begin replevin proceedings
to recover the alleged stolen property
which is said to be in Jones's home in

THEIR WORTHLESS CHECK GAME
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell" Worked a
Conjugal Tilt Iuto It.

A well dressed man and woman who
described themselves as Mr.. and Mrs.
James Mitchell, of no. 274 Fourth street.
were arrested last night on a charge of
uttering worthless checks. and forgery.
Thee police have been looking for the pair
for some time They admit that their
name is not Mitchell.
The game they have successfully worked
for some time is a simple one. They would
go into store and order bill of goods.
Mr.. Mitchell would tell his wife to pay
for the goods. She would refuse on the
ground that the money she had was need
ed that hour and she would not give it
up. Then the man would take a blank
check from his pocket and fill it out for
SIS. The change he would say he needed
for a few little things they intended to
buy before going home. The check, of
course, would be no good.
Mitchell did not sign his own name to
the checks, but signed the names of men
of business. The blank checks he OBJ
tained by going into stores or offices and
asking for a blank check. Any bank s
paper suited him.
The couple were brought into the First
Criminal Court before Police Justice Hoos
this morning and held in $1,000 bail each
for examination on next Wednesday
morning. The adjournment was granted
on request of Counsellor Charles Kelly,

COlOAIAL'S EXPANSION.
Life Insurance Company Re-
ceives Glowing Reports
of Business.

The directors of the Colonial Life Insur-
ance Company of America held their
quarterly melting yesterday afternoon at
the offices of the company, No. 4S Mont
gomery street. Reports were received
from the officers showing the eminently
satisfactory condition of the company s
business.
The figures of the business done during
the third quarter of the year will even
surpass those of the same period during
last year, and that fact made one of the
directors say
well, it just shows what good judg-
ment, hustling, bustiing business on the
part of our officers and agents will ac-
complish."
Although the youngest industrial COM
pany in this State the Colonial has made
such phenomenal progress that it's stock
is now on the very gilt edgedlist, as that
same director said. He added that the
name Colonial was ominous, because
soon the colonies of the Philippines, Por-
to Rico, Guam and Cuba would be invaded
and conquered by the company, which be-
lieves to the extreme in exptnsion-in
business.

took up another stand. Here he con-

night, and the following committee was
appointed to consider it: Freeholders

was:-
"The New Jersey Trap Rock Company

order to facilitate the operating thereof
the company finds it necessary to avail
itself of its right of way over the countyss

number of years past, but which for the
past few years has been obstructed by

property from the land of this company.
This road or right of way was reserved
to the land occupied by this company in

was its counsel.
''The county has wrongfully obstructed

Rousing Meeting Held Last
Night at Palmetto Hall,
Lafayette.
ERICKSON IN The CHAIR
Crowds Present in the Sixth
Eleventh Wards Parade
Tomorrow.

One of the best Democratic meetings
held in Lafayette took place last night IN
Palmetto Hall, at Pine and Lafayette
streets. There were two hundred people
crowded into the small hall and there was
enough enthusiasm for twice the NUMBER
OF people present. Chairman John Erlck-
son presided
In opening, he said that the Democrats
of Lafayette always did things in the
right fashion, and never left anything un-
done. This was best illustrated by the
good majorities rolled up in the Sixth
ward at the past three or four elections.
He looked for similar results, he said, for
the Democrats of that section must keep
their prestige. He especially urged that
the Democrats register and get out their
friends on Tuesday next to give them the
right to cast their ballot the proper way.
Mr.. Erickson then spoke of the issues
before the people. He particularly en-
phasized the necessity of earnest and sin
cere work to bring about successful re-
suits on election day. He touched the
nominees, particularly those who are to
run on the local ticket.
James Ellington, of the Ninth ward,
who is to run on the Freeholder ticket.
spoke about matters locally. He told OF
the proposed work to be done in the new
board if elected, and promised his con-
stituents good and honest government.
William Moran spoke. in pretty much the
same strain. National issues were touch
ed on but lightly by any of the speakers.
Edward Egan told of the promised
changes in the affairs of the country in
the event of Bryan's election, and ar
raigned the G. O. P. for it's loose and lax
form of government and its Objectionable
policy in the far East.
Edward Cavanaugh took up the issue of
Imperialism. This, he said, was the curse
of the country. 1t must be killed and
killed effectually. Bryan's election was
the only solution for the poor man and
to vote against this new leader was to put
obstacles in the way of their own per-
sonal interests. There were several other
speakers who addressed the audience in
substantially the same strain.
