COWS A NUISANCE.
Bergen Residents Complain of
Their Nearness.

The Board of Health will be deluged
with petitions within the next week from
residents of the west side who are conf
planning of several owners of cows. A
milkman named Reuben on Sip avenue
is said to keep twenty cows in his stable
in the rear of No. 32S These animals have
been confined for several months in the
shanty. What the residents are kicking
about is the awful stencil said to arise
from the manure piles.
Mr.. Bannon, who resides few doors
from the stable, said that well in his
back yard had been made useless by the
drainage from the cow yard.
The residents on Freeman street, some
distance from Sip avenue, are also up in
arms against Morris Koppin, who keeps
cows in an old shanty on that street
The presence of these nuisances is said
to have prevented property owners from
building houses in that section. The
Board of Health will be asked for relief.

CONNELLY ON FEES.
Says He Has Heard of
Excessive Charges,

The exposure IN the Journal last even
by the lawyers and purchasers of Martin
act titles has caused considerable discus
sion in the City Hall, where the subject
has been the theme of much whispered
conversation for some time. RumorS
have been circulated of collusion between
The purchaser and the lawyer for divi5-
ion of the search fees, and some have
even asserted that many of the purchas-
ers nave been employees of municipal de-
partments.
In the office of the Board of Tax Com
several clerks for many years to define
to taxpayers what the Martin act means,
and for this reason the act has had a
special interest for that department.
Chief Clerk James E. Connolly when Ill
terviewed this morning was very ready
to talk on the subject.
"Rumors have come to me-" said Mr..
Connolly. that this business has been
going on, but my attention was particu-
larly called to 1t by reason Of the fact
thar it has been limited that clerks in my
department have been dealing in tbs
certificates. In regard to that rumor
win say, in the most emphatic terms, That
il / find any clerk in my department
guilty of this charge I viii suspend him
at once and let the Board review my ac-
tion later. | had also heard it rumored
that not only has there been collusion
between purchaser and lawyer, but that
searches had been made in advance and
when property had been sold under the
Martin act should party desire to re-
deem five minutes after the property was
the 500 search fees would be imposed. II
| this is true | have no words strong
enough to express my contempt for such
action.

SLEIGHINC ON BOULEVARD
Many Merry Parties Take
Advantage of the
Cold Snap.

The Boulevard is in excellent condition
for sleighing. The snow has been packed
down hard since Monday and a good sur
face for sleighs remains. There were a
great many jolly parties out last night.
The tingle of musical bells could be heard
distinctly for blocks through the clear,
cold bracing air. The night was a perfect
one for the sport. A beautiful moon
lighted the popular driveway with its sill
very beams, and the merry makers made
the most of the favorable opportunity for
pure enjoyment.
Last night was really the first time that
sleighs were seen out. Tuesday evening
was a bit too bracing for the enthusiasts.
Those who deferred their pleasures until
last evening were rewarded for previous
sacrifices.
The small boy was in his element Al
most every street that runs into West
Side avenue from the Boulevard was used
as hill for Shedding. Crowd after crowd
of young people found fun in the time
honored sport Of coasting.

the press they resented it. but no denial
ever appeared from the Mayor"
Taking up the communication of yester-
day Mr.. Midlige began to dissect it. Il
see, he said, 1.-THE Mayor speaks of the
personal spite of some wiseacres of men
who pretend to know better than he.
Whom he refers to, and what he means by
this reference, 1 know not; but 1t is very
evident from the language he uses he
means to strike at some one here. In his
clumsy statement he strikes at the whole
board, since our board was 2 unit in act
ing in the matter.
.iHis Honor resumed Mr. Midlige,
with slight trace of sarcasm, speaks
of one child's life being worth more than
dollars and cents. agree with him. I
have children of my own and love them
as dearly as the Mayor does his; but un-
fortunately have not yet had the oppor-
tunity as he has, of showing the city my
high fatherly regard for my children. =
(This sally convulsed some of the Com
missioners)
81 should state now, Mr.. President, {
said Mr. Midhge, ON resuming his seat,
that in future when any communica-
ton, intended for US, is delivered to this
Board through the press, in the insulting
manner employed by His Honor the May
or today, we shall at once return it to
the Mayor or, better. consign it uncere-
moniously to the waste paper basket
Commissioner John Mullins pleaded for
the Mayor in this, that the interview
complained of and credited to His Honor
might have been garbled.
81 know" said Mr.. Mullins, glancing at
the newspaper man, VINO smiled at the
thrust, that reporters don't always get
things straight, and oftener than not pur-
posely make things appear the opposite Of
what you want them to be. / want to be
fair with the Mayor and think that in all
probability he didn't utter the words
He had plenty of time to deny them;
but he didn't" interrupted President
Lembeck, Indignantly.
Commissioner J. H. Carnes deprecated
the Mayors action in giving out the COM
munication to the press before it reached
the meeting, and his criticisms of the
Boards action In regard to the purchase
of the school sites. The Offending" COM
munlcation was then laid over and the
incident closed.

fading in the distance. This failure was
wired to Headquarters ODonnen then
put the police of the Communipaw ave-
nue. station on the trail Detective Hottie
and three reserves started on dead run
for the Junction. Again were the police
A woman who said she was the luna
tics sister, was seen on the front plat
form of the car which followed elusive
No. 62S. She was gesticulating wildly, and
shouting all sorts of instructions to the
police. Hottie dashed into Speer's morgue
minal at the ferry. The phone was in
use. A police signal box was next pressed
into use. Headquarters was appraised of
a second futile chase. Then, as a last re-
suit ePatrolman Nugent was warned to be
. on the lookout when the car arrived at
the ferry.
Nugenl spotted his man in a jiffy. The
alleged crazy man was indignant when
told that ne was wanted. Just then the
woman who said she was the wife of the
troublesome lunatic got off on the follow
ing Bayonne car. She made a grand dash
for the victim He submitted and was
put on board west bound car with his
