FALSE ALARM AGAIN.
Fire Department Puzzled Over
the Numerous Fake Calls
of Late.

=
The fire department was again called
out last night to answer a false alarm.
Fire box No. 112 at Second and Hender-
son streets was pulled BY some unknown
person. The department has been called
out a number of times lately for, false
alarms and the men are becoming tired
of risking their lives when there is no
occasion for it.
Every time a box is pulled it entails a
considerable expense as well as danger
of accidents to men and apparatus.
The police were not able to find any
body who saw the box pulled last night.
It was evidently case Of malicious mis-
chief and the police are desirous of Sc
curing the guilty party.

MUST WAIT FOR MONEY.
Complications Over the Pay of
the Soldiers Who Did
Riot Duty.
Especial to "Tne Jersey city News."l

Especial to THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, July u, 1902. Vile the
action of the Governor, State Comptrol-
Ter and State Treasurer indorsing note
this week made available the funds
necessary for paying the troops of the
First Regiment who did duty during the
Paterson riots, several complications
have arisen which must be settled before
the soldiers will actually receive their
remuneration.
As has already been told by "The
wherewith to pay the troops, and while
the loan was willingly made by the Off
Gals mentioned, the problem of its dis
tribution so as to settle all claims that
the soldiers may have is not SO easy.
State Comptroller Morgan has been ad-
vised that in his official capacity he can
not issue warrants to the soldiers, nor
could the treasurer officially honor such
warrants if issued.
It was learned that the money was
now available, but the vexing problem
of it's distribution will not be settled, un-
til Thursday, when the Governor, Comp
troller and Treasurer will meet
at Sea Girt to consider the
matter. 1t is probable that this
will be accomplished BY requiring such
soldiers as would rather be paid now
than next year to sign a release to their
claims against the State for services dur
ing the riots.
Such release could then be filed with
the proper authorities as justification
for the appropriation Of funds to meet
the note of the Governoi Comptroller
and State Treasurer. It is not likely that
the soldiers will be paid for at least an
2other week.

Forrest and Woodward streets would In

CITY'S RIGHTS.
'sThis property belongs to the railroad,
but cannot be used for any purposes.
If the city wishes to cut the streets
through it would have to purchase the
property from the railroad These streets

that the city has rights there the oil
tank will never go up at that point. We
must keep fighting to win.''
Mr.. Peter Phillips of Halliday street,

cause Mr. Phillips stated that Angel
had reversed his original stand on the
matter, told of the difficulty and said
that the people should never stand By
and see that tank go up.

Messrs. Heist & Young.
Two hundred people, very many of
them owners of property, Joined in de-
nouneing the Republican, Commissioners
for granting permission to the oil firm
to erect tank which would be a men
ace to life. limb and property. Dozens
of men rose up and Joined in declaring
that the action of the Republican Com

rage.
The most forcible arguments were pre-
scented by the property owners. who told
of the dangers of the tank and how the
houses in its vicinity would be constantly
in danger.
ANGELS TOUGHS.
Commissioner Angel was, charged by
property owners, with having packed the
meeting to kill off any resolutions that
might be introduced rejecting on his
former fip-fop exhibitions. The dis
tingushed' representative was not pres
ent. He. said in an interview prior to
the meeting that he could do no good
at the meeting and that it would be un-
wise for him to attend. Instead he had

liberately insulted the property owners,

ated such an uproar that the presiding
officer was forced to pound loudly on
