WEEHAWgEN TAX ARREARAGE.
Samuel Renner Objects to the Ap
pointment Of Commissioners.

Real Estate Dealer Samuel Renner,
through Judge Otto Grouse, yesterday
made application to Supreme Court JUS
tice Collins for review of the action of
the court in appointing Martin Act Com
missioners for the Township of Weehaw-
ken.
In his a..davit Mr.. Renner states that
he was unaware that the Town Council
had applied to the court for the appoint
ment of such a commission or he would
have objected at the time on the grounds
that there was not sufficient tax arrear-
ages in the township to warrant it.
Justice Collins took the papers and said
that he would give the matter considera-
ton.
1t is said that Mr.. Renner is doubtful
of the success of his effort to vacate the
courts order creating the commission, as
under the act the application is one of
right and the appointments must be
made. The commissioners appointed by
the court are ]. Emil Walscheid. Herman
Walker and Aaron Baldwin.

FUN WITH THE BOX.
Flip Questions Asked a
Horticulturists' Meet
ing,

AT the closing session of the State Hor-
ticultural Society, yesterday, the follow
ing officers for the ensuing year were
elected and installed
President, Henry E. Hale, Princeton;
Vice President, William H. Reid, Tennent;
Secretary. Henry I. Budd. Mt. Holly;
Treasurer, 1. j. Blackwell, Titusville; Ex-
ecutive Committee, DR.. ]. B. Ward, Ly-
ons Farms; e. P. Beebe, Elizabeth; E. A.
Vanderveer, Freehold; Charles L. Jones,
Ttusville; s. B. Ketcham, Pennington.
j. H. Hale, of South Glastonbury, Con-
necticut, created somewhat of a stir
among the Jersey fruit growers by put
ting in a good word for the widely eriti-
cised San Jose scale. Mr. Hale said he
regarded the scale as blessing to the
up-to-date farmer, because he knew how
to handle it, and could raise fruit in album
dance, despite it's presence.
1t was only the farmer who did not
keep abreast of the times who could not
successfully cope with the SCALE The re-
suit was that the modern farmer bene-
flied while the old-timer suffered.
This sort of reasoning did not strike S.
B. Ketchum of Pennington in a favorable
light. He said, in reply, that he still re-
farmers, in general Many Others ex-
pressed themselves in similar vein.
Mr.. ketcham subsequently called at
tention to the desirability of securing
more speakers from around the State,
rather than filling up the programme
with men from foreign States, whose in
terests were not akin to those Of Jersey
men.
He said that he had attended many
ably found that where local men present
ed papers, they proved of much greater
interest than those presented by men
from distant points.
The reading of the questions placed in
the Question Box" was suspended when
Jesse B. Rogers, the venerable agricul-
turist from Newark, whose duty it is to
open the box and read off the questions,
struck one which asked rs the San Jose
or the Fairbanks scale preferable for the
Horticulturist?'
Mr.. Rogers expressed the belief that
someone was having fun with the box
and when the next question came forth
in the shape of Can a Jackpot be open
ed with a Keiffer pear. or When Did
Henry Budd?'' the society smiled in chor-
US, and the answering of further queries
was entirely dispensed with.
The speakers were all on hand and pre-
sented entertaining papers, which were
listened to with much interest by the
members of the society. The meeting was
quite successful.

VOLUNTEER SINGERS.
Lafayette Reformed Church
No Longer Has Paid
Quartette.

The consistory of the Lafayette Re-
formed Church, at Pine street and
Communipaw avenues. voted recently to
abolish the paid choir. There was stiff
opposed to the move by several members
of the consistory, but they were outvoted.
The reason given was that the expense
was too much. There were four soloists
and the organist. The singers received
of the consistory held that a volunteer
choir would be more popular and be the
means of arousing interest among the
young people. So this plan was adopt
ed
Beginning tomorrow Organist Louis
Sherwood will have big volunteer choir
to handle. The first rehearsal was held
last night. The results were not abso-
lutely satisfactory.
A great many of the church members
have openly protested against the action
of the consistory. They contend that 1t is
a foolish bit Of economy in view of the
splendid condition of the church financial
ly. There is not one cent of debt on the
building. Only recently new organ was
built to order for the church. It is con-
sidered equal in tone to any organ built
in the county. Mr.. Sherwood personally
supervised it's construction.
The members who oppose the abolition
of the salaried quartette, say that it will
be along time before real harmony will
be had in a big choir of volunteers. The
members of the former quartette were:-
Mrs. Albert Broome, soprano; Miss Jessie
Fenner, alto; Mr.. S. T. Thompson, tenor,
and Mr.. G. Luebber, bass.
It is more than likely that the consist
CRY will be urged to hire the old quartetre
again in few weeks after the volunteers
have "howled a few times,' as one mem
Der sarcasticany remarked to reporter.

"F0ILED I"
La Dues Dramatic Entry Startled
Police.


man without coat hat or shoes ran
breathlessly into Hoboken Police Head
quarters at four O'Clock this morning and
striking a dramatic pose shouted in a
highly pitched ice:-" Foiled."
Whom do you mean?" asked Doorman
Walsh.
"The ruffians who chased me from
my home at No. so Madison street." the
man replied Il had to, climb through
the transom of the front door to escape
them. They got into the house by climb
ing up rope ladder to my bedroom. But
/ fooled them. They are foiled!''
The fellow grew wilder in his talk and
it did not take Walsh long to understand
that he was insane. He described him
self as Alfred La Due 2S years old, a
painter. The residence he claimed was
found to be correct. He was locked up
and he will be held to await examination
by the city physicians.

CORBLISS WILL CONTEST
Testimony of Caveators Goes
to Prove the Testator of
Seven Wills Was
Insane.

The hearing in the contest over the will
of the late John CorblIss. of this city,
was resumed before Judge Blair in the
Orphans Court yesterday afternoon.
AS previously told Corbliss, who was
seventy-three years of age, made seven
different Wills in the final year of his
life. BY the last of these he practically
disinherited his only child, Mrs. John
Quinlisk, and left the bulk of his estate
to half-sister, Mrs. Bridget Kellett, and
some relatives in Ireland whom he had
never seen.
AS an offset to the assertions of the
proponents of the will to the effect that
Corbliss had disnherited his daughter be-
cause he thought she was unduly intimate
with man named John McGie, the
caveators called Mrs. Quinlick's husband,
who testified that his wife went to the
theatre and other places with McGie, but
always with his sanction. He repudiated
the assertion that there was anything
wrong in his wife's relations with McGie
and said that her fathers suspicious in
that direction were due to his disordered
mind.
DR.. John D. McGill testified, in reply to
a hypothetical question covering the par
ticulars of the last two years of Cor
bliss's life, that the testator was insane
and without testamentary capacity.
Patrick Gilhenny, former tenant of
Corbliss, testified that the old man acted
very absent-mindedly.
Mrs. Quinlisk was recalled and testified
that her father frequently appeared upon
the streets with his clothing disarranged.
John Quinhsk, Jr., testified that his
grandfather would often call him to go
an errand and would forget what ne
wanted him for.
At this point the hearing was adjourned
until next Friday, when Dr. John
Dougherty will be called to refute the
testimony of the caveators experts.

GIBBSTOWN, Jan. 5, 1901.-If the dim

But just three minutes previous there
was flash of fire in the air. Now crepe
streams at the doors of three homes, the
afflicted members of which will not have
the consolation of consigning their dead

When the other workmen in the plant
went to tn escene of the lighting flash
they discovered that half ton of dyna-
mite had been exploded. How the ex-
plosion was caused no one knows ex-
aetly. The three men who could tell
were utterly annihilated. Their names
are
OLIVER M'ILWAINE, 2s years, of
Gibbstown, who leaves a wife and two
children.
WALTER WHYNE, % years, who was
to be married within a short time.
JONATHAN KIRBY. 2S years of Thor

Only two were injured. They are:-

Walls Of Cannon Balls.

In some new bank buildings that are
being erected in London, says the Sussex
(Eng.) Daily News" it has been decided
to trust neither police, private custodians
nor safes. All walls connected with the
money vaults are to have old-fashioned
cannon balls losely embedded in them,
the idea, of course, being that the round
ed surfaces of the cannon balls win cause
BURGERS tools to slip, and there will be
no chance of picking the walls to pieces
quickly enough for burglarous depreda-
tions.
