A decision was handed down in the

1884, amended in 1885, The act provid-
ed for the election of bipartisan COM
mission, not more than three of whom
could belong to any political party.
The opinion said in part: sThe clause
in the act which provides that no more
than three members Of the board shall
belong to the same political party is open
to grave doubts as to It's constitutionality.
1t is doubtful whether eligibility to
Office in this State can be restricted to
any qualification other than that re-
quired for the right Of suffrage, except
where such restriction Is found in or its
imposition is authorized by the consti-
tuition of this State. 1t Is not clear that
the holding of any political opinion or
belief is not a disqualification for office
under Republican form of government /?
1t is not discernible how Republican
government could be continued with such
power Of restriction upon the eligibility
to hold public office.

NO MARRIAGE.
Bridegroom Arrested As the
Justice Was About to
Say Man and Wife.

Wadislaw Bergrovitch, twenty-five
years old, of No. 551 Henderson street,
and Miss Marie Malinoska, twenty years
old, of the same address, appeared before
Justice of the Peace Edward Markley
yesterday afternoon and requested that
he marry them. Two friends were with
the couple. After the preliminary ques-
tions had been asked the couple stood
with Joined hands and the justice said,
"By the powers invested in me by the
State of New Jersey, l, Edward Mark
ley, Justice of the Peace, pronounce"-
.'You under arrest" chimed in Consta-
bic John Woods, as he came froward and
put his hand ON the shoulder of the
groom. The bride and her maid of
honor shrank back, for moment speech
less, and then with a cry she started
for Bergrovitch.
For fully FIVE minutes Justice Mark
ley's office rang with a babble of excited
voices. The conversation was in Polish
After the excitement had subsided. Con-
stable Woods said he held warrant for
the arrest of William Berger, alias Wad-
islaw Becker, and he thought this was
the man. This afterwards proved to be
true.
The prisoner was taken to the First
Precinct station house and locked up,
while his weeping fancee was led home.
This morning Bergrovitch alias Berger
alias Becker was arraigned in the First
Criminal Court charged with assault by
Mrs. Antonia Wiczonaska, of No. 565
Grove street. The complainant said that
for several months she had looked upon
the man of many names as her sweet
heart. He promised 10 marry her, she
said, but, fearing he would not prove
true, she swore out a warrant and his
arrest followed just in time to prevent
his marriage to another.
Judge Hoos held the prisoner for the
Grand Jury without fixing bail Miss
Malinoska sat through the entire trial.

interested in the gigantic plan, delayed
the deal.

The Railroads Appeal and

to Jersey City.

The railroad company appealed from
the assessments levied on the two tracts
for the years 190o-1901. The decision
of the State Board means d loss of nearly
$1,000 year to Jersey City
The State Board held several meetings
at the City Hall hearing the appeal.
William P Edwards, counsel for the
Central, made a vigorous fight to secure
a reduction and nearly every man who
listened to the testimony and arguments
was of the opinion that he got the bet
ter of Corporation Counsel George L.
Record at every stage of the proceed
ings.
An elaborate array of experts gave tes-
timony for and against the appeal
The reduction Of the assessment is a
serious blow to the city. The Boards
decision will probably affect the assess

Fagan's board for the year 1902-1903.

SILENT ON TARIFF
Hudson City Business Mems
Association Decide to
Keep It's Hands Off.


1t was anticipated last night that the

ton at its regular meeting held in Pohl-

send petition to Congress praying that
President Rooseyelt's request for the ap-

favorable consideration.
While many members were individual
ly in favor of a tariff commission as re
quested by President Roosevelt, after
some discussion, it was deemed inadvisa-
BILE for the association to take up the
matter as body because of the political
differences that might be drawn.

of the association.

ed to look after the Hoboken end of Ra-
vine road-to urge Hoboken officials to
keep the road in proper repair:-Mes

of Paterson Plank road and the Jersey
