THEL.ARGESTDEAL
Facts of the Purchase Of the
Golf Links and Ad-
jaoent Tracks.

The facts in the big real estate deal
on the West Side of week ago weFe
made public today. The tract which now
comprises sixty acres, has been bought
by new company just formed, calling
itself the Buyten Tuyn Realty Co. The
purpose for which the tract was bought
has not yet been automatically divulged,
though rumor has it that the land was
acquired for the development of a sort
of Tuxedo Park residential section,
while contradictory rumor has it that
the Jersey City Baseball Club of the
Eastern League is to locate there. It is
just possible there may be a grain Of
truth in each. The lawyers who negoti-
ated the sale, Northrop & Griffiths, and
John j. Nevin, would neither deny nor
confirm either rumor this morning.
The most encouraging part of the
transaction to the Golf Club, however,
is that yesterday the new realty COM
pany acuired in addition the Condict
tract of seyentee nacres just northwest
of the Malli estate and 3,100 feet on the
western slope, giving a frontage of $50
feet on West Side avenue with a w.usr,
in the rear of 900 feet, running west
nearly one mile to point distant about
eight hundred feet from the Hackensack
River This will allow the company, if
such arrangements can be made, to still
retain the original purchase of the Malli
estate, over which the gold course now
extends, and yet lease the Golf Club
piece of ground of equal dimensions
fronting just south of where the links
now lie and forming an "L'' to the north
in the rear.
This is probably the largest real estate
sale made in Jersey City The purchase
was made in three parcels First, the
MALI estate, comprising twenty-nGne
acres; then the seventeen acre piecs which
fills in the IL" in back of the Mali prop
erty; then the s,1Oo feet on the western
slope were added, giving the purchasers
a rectangular plot of about sixty acres,
dred building blocks.
The entire tract is adjacent to one of
the finest residential sections of the city.
1t extends on West Side avenue from
Kens.ngton avenue to a point midway
between clifford and Bentley avenues.
Clifford, Belmont and Kensington avenues
will run through the very heart of the
tract. The price paid, approximately, for
the entire tract is 100000.
The name Of the new company, Buyten
Tuyn, has an interesting history. In the
early days of the Dutch settlers there
was portion of the city known az Bcr-
gen, derived from the Dutch word Berg,
meaning safe. The inhabitants of Jersey
City at that time 10 escape the nightly
attacks of the Indians, withdrew into the
stockade or berg. The lands outside Of
this were known ae 'fBuyten Tuyn,
meaning outside gardens, and the present
purchase includes large portion of these
outside gardens.
Just what the Golf Club will Go is not
yet known. President of the club / A.
Drayton said this morning be had been
advised Of nothing concerning the pur-
chase.

Roll.

At $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Patrolman Britton arrested Henry Sehrie-
ner, twenty-eight years old, of No. 326
Hamburg avenue, Brooklyn, who is
charged by George Pousky, Of Holyoke,
Mass, with grand larceny. Pousky had
an accompliee but the accomplice got
away. The accomplice dropped a roll of
bills which was picked up by Schriener
who tapped Pousky on the shoulder and
asked him if ne hadn't dropped the money.
NO" said Peusky. feeling on the inside
of his coat and producing a roll of $3.50.
Il think saw you drop it, said Schrie-
ner You had better count it and see If
you hadn't lost a portion OF it.
Impressed with the mans honesty in in
sisting that he must have lost some
money Pousky let the man count the bills
himself.
They amounted to $500. Strange.
said the man. But here you better put
this money back in your pocket, opening
Ponskys coat and jamn1ing his hand
down in Ponsky's pocket Ponsky put his
hand in and felt the roll, as ne thought,
secure in his pocket, and then buttoned
his coat.
Subsequently he had occasion to use his

The stranger had resorted a slight of
hand trick and substituted the paper for
Ponsky' roll of good bills.
Meanwhile the stranger had disappear
ed. Ponsky had reported the robbery to
Chief of Police Murphy. who detailed
Patrolman Britton to accompany Schrei-
ner TO the Central depot and see if ne
could find any trace of the man who
robbed him. He positively identified
Sehreiner.
Chief Murphy found a card in Schrein-
er's pocket bearing the firm name OF
Wheeler & Wilson, No. 500 Futon street.
He called up the firm by telephone and
asked one of the members of the firm II
he knew anything about Schreiner.
Yes" came the reply there are two
warrants for his, arrest laying over here"
Chief Murphy notified the Brooklyn
police that they had better send a man
over here to look Schreiner over.

FOR MORE CRAFT
New Excise Board Will
Meet Monday to Give
Out Plums.
COMMISSIONERS WORRIED
Afraid Aldermen Will At
tempt to NEEDLE With
Licenses.

The Excise Commission viii hold al
adjourned meeting on Monday evening AZ
the City Hall. It viii pass on two apr
plications for Licenses and three applica-
tions for transfers Of licenses. That -
about all the business to be transacted 80
far as can be learned now. but It is proD-
aole that two inspectors and an assistant
clerk will be appointed. but no one in
terested from Corporation Counsel Record
down to Mayor FaganA uiH say anything
about this.
The fact that the Commission is to meet
on Monday night, instead aaf on Tuesday
night, as provided by the rules, is con-
sidered significant They are afraid it is
said. that should they allow the Beard
of Aldermen to meet before they, the lats.
ter would act on the excise matter and
row be thus percipitated. The Board OF
Aldermen meet on Tuesday night. No one
of them win say whether they will take
up the excise matter irrespective Of the
action of the Commission
There are a great many applicants for
the place of inspectors of the Commits
sion. The salary is 81 900 a year and there
is little work to be done The Board OF
Managers are anxious to get the jobs 50
that their heelers may be rewarded and
Mayor Fagan is determined to have his
friends put in the places Just how this
controversy is to be settled is a question
that many are considering. It is nice
little game of politics that interest a large
number of would-be Office holders and
their friends. Neither the Board Of Mama
gers nor Mayor Pagan have been quite
satisfied with the graft they had to give
away heretofore.
There is also place as assistant clerk
to the Commission and it is said the
Mayor will give this to the Board OF
Managers and keep the places Of inspec-
tors for his friends.
The inspectors will have to go about
the saloons in the city and see that they
are conducted along proper lines and that
licenses are conspicuous1y displayed. When
complaints about saloons are received the
inspectors win go to the places cnplalned
Of and make proper" investigations.
This is a decidedly new idea and offers
many opportunities for obtaining detailed
information of the methods Of conducting
saloons.
The assistant clerk win have little OF
nothing to do but the job OF inspectors Is
much more desireable among a certain
class.

FOURTH CLEARED
Committee of Officers, It is
Said, Can Find No Proof
Of the Charges Made
in Trenton.

There are so many conflicting stories in
regard to certain points in the charges
against the members OF the Fourth Regi-
ment in connection with the Inauguration
ceremonies at Trenton last Tuesday that
the members of the special committee
selected to investigate the matter. by
order of Colonel Smith, have begun a
most thorough probing into the matter.
So determined are the efforts TO clear the
regiment of the stain cast on it by tne
sweeping charges made by the Trenton
papers that Major H H. Brinkerhoff
Captains Reinhard and Parker and Lieu
tenant Bowly of the special committee
left for Trenton early yesterday morning
to gather information regarding the
charges These officials spent the whole
day in Trenton ana did not return until
lata lest nfght. consequently no neeting
OF the committee was held last evening
at the arInory. What the Investigators
learned on their trip could not be ascer-
tanned. None of the committee was about
last night
1t is probable that the committee will
draft report TO be presented to the
Board of Officers at the next meeting.
perhaps Tuesday night. Until then all
facts will be carefully guarded. AS far
as the investigation at the arnory is con-
cerned, that is practically over One
meeting was held Wednesday night and
men and officers were examined The
results went to show that the soldiers
were wholly innocent of the charges of
destroying property at the Greenwood
Pottery. It was said at the armory last
night that the committee was to visit
all the places the men were said to have
visited while in Trenton. 1t was the in
tention of the officers to get at the bot
tom of the matter and learn from all
sources whether the men did do any dam
age or insult people.
There is not a member of the regiment
who is not sure that all the charges will
be swept away and the men cleared of
the stigma cast upon them. A line Off
Ger said last night that it was impossible
for the men to have done any damage
for they were under orders all but fifteen
minutes of the time
.'I know that they had few drinks. -
said he, but none were intoxicated They
insulted no ladies, nor did they rob any
stores, as charged. The idea Of the police
reserves being called out is absurd. Any
one can readily see how much more effec-
tive the guard would have been against
any offenders if such a thing was neces-
sary. Can anyone imagine a regiment
numbering nearly seven hundred men
breaking loose? A calm consideration OF
the matter shows how utterly false the
reckless statements are
