Wednesday night about $40

Wednesday night about $40 our citizens were considerably surprised and some frightened as the result of a slight earth quate, and we will probably hear of a hard shaking up down in Old Mexico. It did seem rath- CT spooky, lamps swayed back and forth, dishes rattled in the cupboard, windows shook, etc., and some of the feminines who had retired for the night thought they sure had found that long looked for man under the bed. We learn later that a heavy shock was felt at Beaver, Utah, where several buildings were considerably damaged.

WILL AWAIT APPEAL.
Pending Final Decision in
Street Railway Case
Tax Boards Will
Go Slow.

Pending the appeal from the recent
Supreme Court decision affecting the
North Jersey Street Railway Company's s
rights ON the public streets, no action will
be taken by either of the Tax Boards of
Jersey City or Newark.
A great difference of opinion arose
among city authorities as to what course
should be adopted Some officials went as
far as to figuring out assessments for the
gas, electric light, telegraph and telephone
companies, who, it is asserted, fall under
the purview of the decision. The prevail
ing opinion, however. among the taxing
authorities that it is better to ''go slow"
PERSONALLY" said one of them today to
a News" representative, II am not in
favor of making material increases in the
assessments until the Court of Errors and
Appeals has passed on the Supreme
Courts decision. see that The News
says the company will appeal. Well, it
will be time to do something one way or
the other when the court of last resort
either affirms or reverses the decision"
This decision affects not only the North
Jersey Street Railway Company but every
trolley line in the State. and lays down a
law which, it is contended, could by equal
force be applied to all quasi public cor
porations using the streets. Lawyers gem
orally say the decision will be reversed.

DROWNED SWIMMING

The first fatal swimming accident of
the season occurred yesterday afternoon
shortly before o clock when twelve-year-
old Samuel Izsakovics, of No. 3S2 Grove
street, was drowned at the foot of Van
Worst street. The lad and a number of
his companions went swimming in the
canal early in the afternoon. They stayed
in the water too long.
Izsakovics was the most daring of the
crowd, and though he was almost ex-
hausted, made one last effort to outdo his
companions in feats of diving, tumbling
and general sporting. He was in the mid
die of the canal when he suddenly threw
up his hands and uttered piercing
Shrek. Then he disappeared like stone.
The other boys became so frightened
that they We're too demoralized to go 20
the drowning lads assistance and he went
down for the third time. Then man who
gave his name as Anthony Smith, of
No. 1873 Essex street, came along, and
upon being told what had occurred,
dived for the body and recovered it. 1t
was laid on the bank and every effort was
made to restore consciousness, but life
had fed. Some of the boys hurried to the
lads home and told his mother. The
mother and father ran TO the canal and a
pathetic scene followed.
The body was removed to the parents
home by Undertaken Hughes

CITY WINS $4,000
Sugar Company Must Pay
Water Rents From
'97 to Now.

Word was received by Corporation
Counsel McDermott this morning that
Vice Chancellor Stevens had handed down
an opinion favorable to the city in the
suit brought against it by the Sugar Re-
fning Company and argued two and a
half years ago on a bill for an injunction
to restrain the city from cutting off water
from the Sugar Company's house in this
city. The decision means $12, ,592.57 more
in the city treasury as revenues from the
Sugar Company for water rents since De-
cember, 1897.
AT that time the Street and Water
Board decided that the Sugar House Com
pany should pay the full rate of $1OO per
million gallons. A resolution was passed
by the Board agreeing to allow the Sugar
Company water at the rate of 800 per
mllllon gallons, but the resolution was
reselnded The company made protest
that date to May, 49,
The city threatened to turn off. the wa
ter, hence the injunction proceedings. Ar
rangements We're entered into, however,
whereby the company paid 800 per million
collars each month on account, the
amounts paid and received without pre-
Judice to the rights of either party as
to the balance OF the bill'' pending litiga-
ton.
The case was first tried before Chaneel-
lor McGill, but he died before renderi ,sy
an opinion. 1t was reargued before Vice
year. Al the time it was reargued it was
on motion to dismiss the bill for want
of equity.
The Vice Chancellor then expressed a
verbal opinion that whether or not the,
resolution which the company claimed re-
duced the water rents to an amount less
than the city was charging was a matter
of law, and he suggested that it might
be taken to the Supreme Court at Febru-
airy Term. But the Court was informed
that Senator Edwards for the company
later to the Supreme Court for writ of
certiorari and the writ was denied The
Court decided to take the papers and de-
eide the motion as to whether the bill
should be dismissed for writ of equity.
The Vice Chancellor's opinion is TO the
effect that there is no equity in the bill
of complaint, and that an Injunction will
not lie against the city to restrain it from
cutting off the water.

Final Adjournment to Re-
strain Amalgamated
Company Opinion
in a Day on Two.

Vice Chancellor Stevens yesterday
afternoon heard the final argument in the
suit. brought to- restrain the ANA lgamated
Copper Company from gobbnng UP the
Boston and Montana and Burre and Bos-
ton Copper Mining Companies This suit
was begun some weeks ago and has been
continued from time to time until 1t is
now, as one lawyer said, up to the
COURT
Yesterday a new complainant appeared
in the person of Mrs. Charlotte Snitn
of New York, who owns 100 shares of the
Amalgamated stock. Counselor r. "
Lindabury, leading counsel for the de-
fendant company, read the answer which
set forth that it was not true that IT3,000
shares of the Butte and Montana Copper
Mining Company were owned, at the time
the supplemental bill was filed, or that
they are now owned by the defendants
1t further denied that the defendants
were or now are interested in the Boston
and Montana Company, excepting Henry
H. Rogers and William Rockefeller, each
of whom have for long time and now
own 250 shares of that company's stock
In addition, the answer denies that
When the supplemental bill was filed OF
at the present time a sufficient majority
OF the stock of the defendant company
was or is controlled by the directors Of
the latter, to approve at a stockholders
meeting the resolution of the directors to
increase the capital stock of the defend

Neither, 1t is asserted, was the majority
suffieient to approve the offer made by
kldder, Peabody & Co., in relation to the
BUTTE and Boston and Boston and Mon
tana companies.
Continuing, the answer declares that
the property of the Boston and Montana
Company is not properly itemized in the
bill of complaint. On the other hand
the answer specified additional assets
which would swell the total assets of the
company to $40. 600, ,0OG
Counselor Robert Lawrence, of the firm
of Bedle, McGee and Lawrence of this
city, representing one of the complains
ants, attacked the answer and maintained
that it did not treat fully with the salient
points at issue.
Counselor Isaac S. Taylor, for another
complainant excepted to that part of the
answer which laid stress on the market
value of the stock He insisted that it
cut no figure in the main issue.',
II am not mistaken Interrupted the
Vice Chancellor, THE Court Of Errors
has laid stress on the market values of
stock. myself do not see how the
value can otherwise be fixed.''
After considerable argument the Vice
Chancellor said he would give his opinion

THE DAVIS OUTING.
Colonel Smith Has Charge
of the Big Parade
New Members.

The Robert Davis Association held a
regular meeting at its club house last
night and elected forty-one new members.
The Executive Committee held a meeting
Immediately afterwards and appropriated
$500 for fireworks and music on the even
ing of the Fourth of July. This is in ac-
cordance with its celebrating the day in
a patriotic manner. Beside the pyrotech-
nical display and patriotic concert there
will be plenty of oratory. Prominent
speakers will address the crowds.
Colonel Robert G. Smith was appointed
colonel of the outing parade, which will
occur on Wednesday, September Il. The
outing, as usual, will be held at Donnel-
ly's Grove, College Point, Long Island,
and in view of the increased membership
of the association and the double political
interest in combined municipal ana State
elections in November, it is predicted by
some that over 5000 men attended the OUT
ing. Over 1900 attended last year.
