OBJECT OF THE SUIT

Stock Probable Dis
missal Of Rule.

Mr.. Patrick H. Flynn, the con-,
tractor to supply Jersey City with pure
water, who has been snowbound in Sulli-
van County, N. X, for several days reach
ed town today and long consultation
took place between him and the Officials
of the Jersey City Water Supply on the
suit to be heard tomorrow in which
William Belden asks for the appointment
of a receiver for the company's affairs.
The hearing will take place before Vice
Chancellor Emery in Newark, on the re-
turn of the rule to show cause
Mr.. Flynn's agents are confident that
the rule will be dismissed and for no
other reason than this as one of the
officials said
''The Court of Chancery is not going to
take on its shoulders the job of building
waterworks for Jersey City,
1t was the opinion of this representative
of the company that the whole object OF
the suit was to compel Mr., Flynn to buy
the stock of Mr.. Belden before the work
was finished and profits realized
ssAs to Mr.. Belden's contention that
the company had no right to award con-
tracts or do the things he complains of,
that is simply ridiculous when it is re-
of attorney from Mr. Belden for doing
the very act he now objects to. Financial
condition of the company bad? defy
them to prove it. We have all the money
we want and the work is going to be fin
ished Notwithstanding the obstacles
placed in our path.

NOT SLICK ENOUGH
Jersey City Police Capture
Wholesale Robbers

Frank Ames, young man who looked
sadly in need of assistance, was arrested
at his boarding house at No. 121 Win
field avenue, this morning, by Detective
Bennett of Police Headquarters and taken
before Chief Murphy. He is charged with
series of robberies committed in various
cities and is held to await the action of
the police of Red Bank. 1t is believed
that it was there Ames began his opera
tions.
He was in Red Bank selling paper nap
kins, and he stopped with family named
Denyse, in which there was young girl
to whom Ames paid marked attention
The girl was employed as gold cutter
by Alexander Frazer, and she gave Ames
some gold leaf and molds, valued in all
at about $3.50, to take to the factory.
Ames took the property and left town.
He then went to Buffalo, N. Y, and stole
a number of watches and silverware, the
police say, and also stole some jewelry
in Cleveland. Ohio. When the cases were
reported to the police a general alarm was
sent broadcast. The local authorities
learned that Ames had shipped a valise
here under the name of West, and in this
way they traced him. He confessed to
the police. For the Cleveland crime he
served three months in prison.

Another of the series of lectures ar
ranged by the Christadelphian Ecclesia
was delivered last evening at Elks' Hall
by James C. Bruce. Mr.. Bruce's topic
was 'Bible Reasons for not Supporting
the Clergy" His lecture was principally
composed of quotations from the Bible
which, he said proved that laity and
clergy mere one and the same He quoted
Paul as having said, st would that we al.
spoke with tongues, for all may prophesy
or expound''
Mr.. Bruce did not approve of the titles
assumed by the clergy of the present
day. All ministers, he said, applied
Reverend" to their names. He added
'The assuming, of titles is one of the
weaknesses and vanities of the human
race" The speaker also alluded to the
practice of preaching for money. He re
peated the Apostle Paul's words, ."That
they that preach the gospel should live OF
the gospel But he argued that Paul
himself declined to receive wages so that
others might not say that he was greedy
Of filthy lucre. Mr. Bruce admitted. how
ever. that the question was not an inn
portant one if the clergy really practiced
the gospel. Spurious gospel, he said, was
a perversion Of the word of God

on proves unworthy. No one knows this
better than Mr.. Pagan. He has had ex-
traordinary opportunities to learn the
Italian nature because he is a neighbor
to the denizens of Little Italy, and in his
hour of need, when every vote was gold
en- he turned to his neighbors first. II
was the italian vote of the Fifth ward
that sent him to the Board of Freehold
ers. 1t was the Italian vote in that ward
and elsewhere that, to certain degree,
made him such a formidable opponent in
the Senatorial fight, and the Italians
know that they wene important factors in
Mr. Fagans election to the Mayoralty-
lney hardly class themselves with the
Friends nor with the Good Citizens, and
has never even given. them a thought
since election, but they nevertheless have
figured that they should be rewarded for
their faithfulness.
Up to date MFR. Pagan has received 1898
applications from Italians who want
jobs, The majority say that any old job
will do, but each has specified that that
of elevator man in the City Hall would
be most acceptable. Even this modest
request has been considered by the appli-
cants as demanding some argument.
They say with truth that the Demo-
cratic administration gave the guiding Of
one of the elevators into the hands of an
Italian and, they ask, 'sWill not Mr.. Fa-
gan do as much when We did 80 much
more for him than we did for the Demo-
crats?"
Mr.. Fagan can easily remember the
italian shout in the campaign
Three cheers a de Mark Fag. Three
cheers de Bob Dav.''
That shout made the welkin ring. 1t was
a shout Of approval. Now Mr.. Pagan is
wondering what will be the volume of the
shout that will rise UP when 1896 Italians
learn that they cannot be elevator men.
There are but two elevators in the City
Hall. If Mr.. Fagan's Imagination is IN
proportion to his ability to keep a silent
tongue he must have drawn fine pic
ture of 1850 men, Italians, Germans. Irish,
Friends and Good Citizens, deluded souls.

PARALYz[D BY FALL
Chef Of Garteret Club Tum-
bIes Down Stairs.

william Tyree. chef Of the Carteret
Club, met with peculiar accident late
Saturday night, which resulted in the
Ross of his voice. The case is a strange
pne, whicn has baffled a dozen doctors
of the Heights.
No one knows exactly how Tyree met
with the mishap. A waiter found him
lying unconscious in heap at the foot
had been unconscious for more than ten
minutes, it was learned.
{ DIR. George Wilkinson happened to be
present when Tyree was found at the
foot of the stairs. He directed the wait
sers to carry the man to the reception
room, where stimulants were administer
ed. Tyree revived. He stared blankly at
those about him.
4 DR.. Wilkinson asked Tyree several ques-
tions. He attempted to answer them, but
could not. Not even a whisper came from
his lips. His power of speech was gone.
There were several other doctors in the
club. They became interested in the case
and conducted a thorough examination.
Tyree was asked to write how the acct
dent occurred. He took up a pencil but
his whole body trembled so violently that
he could not write a word. 1t was then
noticed that his mind was failing. Sew
eral times he struggled hard to articulate
with no success.
This case has puzzled all the doctors
After the examination it was found thai
there was a bruise on the left size of the
bead near the temple and a small bruise
over the jugular on the neck. The doctors
say that the blow on the neck must have
caused the loss of speech while the bruise
on the head caused unconsciousness.
AS near as can be learned, Tyree went
to the kitchen to put something away.
He closed the place for the night and put
sout ALL the lights. There sis nos doubt
that he tripped at the foot Of the stairs,
as it was dark as night there No one
heard the fall. One of the walters went
to look for him and fell on the PROSTATE
form. The negro was terrified and hus-
tied back to the main floor to summon
help. Several walters carried the uncon-
scious man to the reception room.
Tyree lives at the club house. He is
being tenderly cared for and several doc
tors are always within call to give as
sistance. Up to late this afternoon Ty-
reefs voice had not returned. His condi-
tion is considered serious.

DOES NOTHING BUT STARE

Mrs. vencedora Chartrand, who shot
and killed her husband at the Hoboken
Curling Rink on October 81 last, presents
a piteous spectacle. In ward six on the
second floor of the County Jail she is
awaiting the courts disposition of her
case when the Grand Jury makes the re-

of her sanity.

she is an object of compassion.
Warden Sullivan has delegated three of
the prisoners in the sane ward to watch
the little woman by night and day. They
take turns at the task, but she never
deigns to notice or speak to them and is
apparently unconscious of the fact that
they are watching her. When Warden
Sullivan or Matron Rose Murray passes

Italian Method Of Doing b usines
Aired in Chancery.

A row over the sale of a barber shop
occupied the attention of Vice Chancellor
lor Pitney this morning. 1t was the
usual story of one Italian selling a store
to another on the understanding that he,
the seller, wouldn't go into business in

the barber store on Grand street, Hobo

Marie. for $3.50. Part was paid in cash
and there'was chattel mortgage for the
