TRY THE GRAND JURY
F. H. Spengeman Demands q
Relief Sewer in MontfcelIo
Avenue.

Relating to controversy over refer
sewer for Monticello avenue, Mr.. III n.
Spengeman, who was served by the health
authorities to abate nuisance in ne
shape Of stagnant water in a cellar Of
house in that avenue. again wrote yester-
day to Mayor Hoos as follows:
Jersey City, August 50, Is0l.
Hon. Edward Hoos. City Hall. JerseyCity,
N. J.:
Dear Sir-Yours Of the 2Sth instant is
at hand and in reply would say thai for
three years have asked the city 10 re-
lieve the sewer on Monticello ayenue;. to
build an opening on Harrison avepae, to
go through Harrison avenue and connect
with the sewer on Commnnipaw xneue.
This would relieve the Monticello Avenue
sewer But I cannot gel the city on eials
to take any notice Of the matter You
say the city has no money to maka the
Improvement; that 1t will cost 5000. mere
is no Improvement today more needed
than the relief OF this sewer All the
water from Bergen avenue and also from
SUMMIT avenue comes to this sewer and
it is entirely too small to cary off the
water. This is a detriment to health and
all the cellars and property are ruined by
being filled with water every time 1t rains.
If the city paid more attention to this
and less to asphalting of streets over Bel
gian blocks it would be far better, as this
is needed more than anything else
I shall go before the Grand Jury and
enter complaint, as I see the city Will
take no action in this matter.
Yours truly,
n TT SpENf,EyN AN.

FACAN FIRM.
Will Not Bulge From His
Position in the Matter
Of the Payrolls
HIS HONOR CRITICIZED
Says That If the Library En-
ployes Are Not Paid No
One Else Shall Have
Warrants.

Mayor Fagan's determination to hold
up the salaries of the city officials vsitil
the members of the Common Council
agree to pass the payroll of the Free
Public Library, caused considerable gos-
sip in Hoboken this morning.
AS stated in THE News" of yesterday,
the Mayor says he will sign his name to
no warrants excepting those of the police
and fire departments until the library diff
ficulty is settled. This means that Cor
poration Attorney James T. Mnturn,
City Clerk John j. Haggerty, all of the
clerks in the City Hall, the park keepers
and all the employees of the Street De-
partment will have to wait for their
wages. The warrants for August are all
made out but as the Mayors signature
is lacking they are worthless.
The Mayor is in his fighting mood and
apparently does not intend to cool off in
a hurry.
IF the Councilmen see fit to hold up the
salaries of those poor girls in the library.
I'll give them taste OF their own medi-
cine and we'll see how they take it" he
said yesterday afternoon.
1t was through the Mayor endorsing a
note for $531 that the library employees
were enabled to get their wages for
August. Had the Mayor not consented to
be responsible for the amount the fair
assistants in the library would have been
obliged to wait indefinitely for their
wages.
When asked whether he would stand
responsible for the payment OF next
MONTH payroll of the Library the Mayor
answered.
"certainly, why not? The employees
in the Library are just as much entitled
to their wages as any other city employees.
and it my duty to see to it that they are
paid promptly.
There are many people, however, who
believe that the Mavor's retaliation on
the city employees for acts of the Council
men is not exactly right"

REAL INDIAN HUNT
Exhibit in Wild West Show De-
camps With the Funds.

Especial to sThe Jersey City News"J
NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 81, 19o1.-Dick
Parr, cowboy from the Western plains,
headed a posse of twenty-five men in a
real Indian hunt through the woods near
South River Thursday night. The cow
boy is conducting a small wild West
show, and he has had his tents pitched
at South River, near here, for several
days. In his company is Skipping Bull,
a halfbreed Indian and Mexican, who
looks like full-fedged red man when he
gets his war paint on.
s When it came Shipping Bulls turn to
appear on the programme last night there
was lull, and Dick Parr looked in vain
for the Indian. Then he discovered that
a portion of the gate receipts and a
priced revolver had disappeared, too.
The show was declared off and the cow
boy called for volunteers to run down the
Indian Twenty-Five responded. They
searched the woods for miles, following
the scouts scent, but didn't come upon
him. Skipping Bull had proven faithful
to his name. Now the police are looking
for him.

CAN FOLLOW GIRLS.
Police Justice Murphy Thinks
There's No Law
Against 1t.

Police Justice Murphy in the Second
Criminal Court yesterday gave his de-
cision in the case of Dennis Barwick, the
Paterson striker, who was arrested in the
Sixth precinct some time ago for annoy
ing three West Hoboken girls while on
their way home. On the witness stand the
girls refused to say that they had heard
any objection able remarks made by Bar
wick when he followed them. The Court
was in doubt as to whether the mere fact
of following the girls was an offence un-
der the statutes and asked counsel to pre-
sent briefs on the subject.
No parallel case was cited in either brief
and the Judge ordered the dismissal of
the defendant, holding that his action in
following the girls was no such obstruc-
tion or annoyance as contemplated by the
statute.
