for Neglceting Sewer.

A verdict Of 81 600 for the plaintiff
was returned by jury in the Circuit
Court on Thursday afternoon in the suit
of Margaret Moore against the Township
fo Weehawken Corporation Attorney
James r. NIinturns Of Hoboken, repre-
sented the plaintiff. and Township Attor-
ney Albert Leuly appeared for the de-
fendant.
The action was based on damages to
Mrs. Moore's house, caused by the heavy
storms of August, 1901, which burst a
sewer, the contents of which came down
like miniature Niagara over the Noun
tain Road at Shipper street, deluging the
plaintiffs property, which is situated on
the slope Of the hill.
Mrs. Moore claimed that her father,
Mr. Connolly, had notified the township
officials that the sewer in question was
in a dangerous condition.
The defence denied that any such
notification had been received and in
sisted as the damage was indirectly due
the the elements they could not be held
responsible.

Fight for the Possession Of
| the Quarters of the Lafay-
cite Presbyterian
Church.
WANTED FOR A SALOON
Rent in Arrears Gives Henry
W. Wolfe an Ore aing DR..
Herr and Rev Mr..
Griffin to Fight.
,

An interesting fight is in progress be-
tween church and saloonkeeper Tor
| the possession of the quarters on Van
Horne street, in the Lafayette section,
which the church has occupied for al
most two years. The saloonkeeper is
Henry w. Wolfe and the church is the
Lafayette Presbyterian Church (colpred),
of which the Rev. w. e. Griffin is pas
tor, and which is branch of the First
Presbyterian Church on Emory street, of
which the Rev. Charles Herr, D. D., is
pastor.
Wolfe wants the church quarters for
saloon purposes and has been trying to
have the congregation ousted for several
weeks. His former place of business at
Communipaw avenue and Woodward
street was closed Monday because of the
expiration Of the lease and the sale Of the
property. Wolfe was arrested Tuesday
for selling liquor without license He
was released, however, upon proof that
the charge was unfounded.
TRUSTEES TO THE FORE.
The saloonkeeper attempted to lease
the quarters last month. The trustees
of the church got wind of his intentions
and blocked his scheme. 1t seems that
the church was several months in ar
rears in rent, and the agents, Messrs.
Love and Wanser began proceedings in
ejectment. The trustees finally paid the
court expenses and all rent arrearages,
(which gave the congregation the right to
hold the rooms: until July s. The sa-
loonkeeper in his efforts to secure the
uhnilsling, offered the church $50 to vacate
the premises. This was refused. The
trustees decided to fight for the possess
ion of their quarters. DR.. G. Cannon,
one of the trustees, went to the agents
and was told that the church could have
until July IS to vacate. After that the
quarters would belong to the saloon
keeper.
CHURCH WILL FIGHT.
The Rev. W. E. Griffin was seen yes
terday at his home on Van Horne street.
and he said that the trustees would not
give up the quarters without a fight
..The Rev. DIR. Herr will see that our
interests are well looked after" said he
"Of course, we do not wish any trouble,
but the people do not intend to stand
around and see the church property
thrown unceremoniously into the street.
If we pay our rent the church cannot be
ousted. | do not know what arrange
ments the agents have made with Mr..
Wolfe, but / do know that the trustees
will fight for possession of the meeting
room''
The saloonkeeper could not be located
yesterday for his version of the difficulty

POULTRY POINTERS.

Game chickens have more meat in
proportion to their height than any
other breed of fowls.
When the chickens are growing fast,
it is a good plan to mix Il little bone
meal In their soft feed.
Smcaring whole wheat with kerosene
or turpentlne and feeding it to the
chickens is good remedy for gapes.
Adding some carbolic acid and put
ting on hot will secure much better re-
suits from the whltewashing of the
poultry house.
While it is at no time advisable to
keep food Of any kind before the fowls
all the time, It will be an advantage to
keep milk where they can drink all
they want
Fowls do not run together in large
numbers. They will always divide into
flocks of small size and viii select diff
ferent feeding grounds. always pro
vided they have the opportunity.
A growing chicken, like growing
animal. requires plenty Of good. whole,
