Republican Measure to Have

Guardians.

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News.D
TRENTON. Feb 26, 1902-Among the
many bills which were introduced in the
House yesterday was one by Mr.. Stalter
Of Passaie, which amends the State Board
of Children's Guardians act by requiring
that children becoming a public charge
shall be placed III care of some family of
the same religious faith of the parents
Of the child or of an institution of that
faith; also empowers State Board to sur
render custody of child to parents if
thought best and parents become capable
and are of good moral character.
Mr. Newcorn, of Union, put in a joint
resolution which REQUESTS members of
Congress to secure clause in next naval
appropriation bill providing for the con-
struction of war vessels in the navy yards
of the country.
AS can be seen at a glance the object of
this is to provide more spoils to be dis
trIbuted by the Republican party in a
way which bring great political advan-
tage to the party. The building of war
vessels in the country's yard will, OF
course. create many places for mechanics,
carpenters and machinists, all of whom
win have vote, which will always be
cast for the Republican ticket
Mr. Mckee introduced a measure au-
thorizing the Governor to appoint three

DISREGARD VETO
Street and Water Board Re-
tain Losel-- Boyd Incl
dent Closed.

The Board of Street and Water Commis-
sioners at meeting held yesterday after
noon received the communication sent it
some time ago by Mayor Fagan vetoing
the claim of Clerk Losel for a salary of
$780, as re-assessor, and passed the orig
inal claim without regard to Mayor Fa-
gan's protests. Their grounds for this as
given out this morning were that Losel
was appointed at a salary of SO per
month years ago, and that he has been
paid that amount since. In view of this
the commissioners felt that they could
not follow Mayor Fagans suggestions
that Losel be reduced to s75, the amount
paid to some other re-assessors.
The Mayors communication sent to the
board demanding the abolition of the Of
fee of Lamp Inspector, now held by John
Boyd, was received, read and filed That
was all that was done with it, and SO far
as the board is concerned the incident is
closed.
The contract for supplying the board

MUSIC FOR PARKS
Democrats Have to Help
Republicans Out Of a
Hole.
Especial to oThe Jersey city News. 7

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News. y
TRENTON, Feb. 26, 1902.-Mr. George
Tenant introduced this morning the bill
providing for music in the Jersey City
parks. which Mayor Pagan and his suite
brought here Monday night, and the pro-
visions of which were set forth in the
Jersey City News yesterday. 1t was the
intention of the Mayors retainers to have
Mr. Hoffman, of Monmouth. introduce it,
and it was left with him. Yesterday, how
ever Mr.. Hoffman served notice on Col.
Dickinson and the other members of the
Mayors cabinet that he would not take
charge of their-non- partisan bills, that he
came from another county had not lived
in Hudson for twenty years or more, was
not interested in her affairs and did not
propose to burden himself with the re-
sponsibility of looking after them.
1t was bitter pill, but the Republicans
had to swallow and humbly ask the DEM
ocrats to take charge of the bill. Mr..
Tenant met their advances graciously
and took charge of the bill.
Mr.. Tenant introduced another bill
which was drawn at the suggestion of the
Hudson County Board of Health. II
gives the county or local board of health
power to remove from any hotel, board
ing house, boarding school. tenement or
apartment house any person sick with
any contagious, infectious or pestilential
disease to proper place and to destroy
all property and things which they believe
are infected. 1t is provided, however, that
no person shall be removed under the act
except when two physicians in good
standing and practice shall determine that
such person is so infected. For the pur-
pose Of the act tenement or apart
ment'' house shall mean any building IN
habited by more than two families.
The law now permits this to be done,
but only by the passage of an ordinance,
and that requires time, besides being un-
satisfactory in that an ordinance being
general. cannot provide for all cases.

TIME ABOUT UP.
Water Supply Contract Ex-
pires Feb. 28, and City
Will Act Tomorrow.
STREET AND WATER BOARDS ACTION
Mayor Fagan Silent AS to His
Course-C City Official Ap-
proves Extension.

The resolution passed a week ago BY
the Board cf Street and Water Commis-
sioners notifying the Jersey City Water
Company the time allotted and the ex-
tensions granted for the construction OF
the new water works will expire on Feb
ruary 2S were re-passed at yesterday !
meeting and sent direct to Mayor Pagan.
This action was taken because. of the
non-action of the Board of Finance when
the original resolution was sent to them
last week.
Mayor Pagan this morning said he had
received the communication but had notn-
ing to say about it as yet.
Tomorrow, SO the representatives of
Mr.. Patrick H. Flynn said to-day, will be
sent a communication to the Mayor and
municipal boards requesting a conferences
on the proposition to extend the time Of
the contract from February 2S to eighteen
months hence, and there is every reason
to believe that the extension will be
granted.
Indeed said a city official, "it is the
only thing we can do. Suppose we say no
to the request of the Jersey City Water
Supply Company, or either to Mr.. Flynn,
for it is he to whom we look for the full
fillment of the contract, and insist on the
payment of the $500 day penalty. surely
no one is so foolish as to suppose that
Mr. Flynn is going to hand upthat amount
without fight, and where will we be at
then? There is no way out of the diff
Guilty but to make a compromise and on
the basis proposed. Since the city will
lose nothing by the adoption of these pro-
posals, I can see no just reason why we
should not grant them. l viii vote for
them"
Mayor Fagan will not discuss the water
proposition at all. and 1t is impossible to
say what ground he will take He IS,
however, anxious to see the question adj
justed, and a close friend of his says he
will give his official sanction to the ac-
ton of the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners granting the extension.

HIS EXPENSIVE Toes
Alex T. Blisss Verdict Set Aside on
the Third Appeal.

The damage suit of Alex. F. Bliss OF
West Hoboken against the Bergen Coun-
ty Traction Company. which has been
fried in this circuit of the Supreme Court
three times and as many times appealed,
was again decided in favor of the plain
tiff by the Supreme Court at Trenton yes
terday.
Bliss's suit was for damages for inJur-
les received on March 3, 1881, near Fort
Lee. 1t was claimed that the accident
was due to a defect in the block system
and resulted in the plaintiff losing severa.
toes from his right foot.
The first trial of the case resulted in
verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff, which
on appeal was set aside on a technically.
At the second trial the late Justice Lip
poncott granted non-suit on the
grounos that there was no cause for ac-
ton. On the plaintiffs appeal the high
er court decided that the case should
have gone to the jury.
In January 1891, the third trial result
ed in a verdict of s2se0 for the plaintiff.
This was appealed and the Supreme Court
yesterday sustained the verdict with costs.

plaintiff and ex-Assemblyman Leon Alb

ITALIAN SWEARING
Widely Contradictory Stories of a
Woman's Pistol Shot.

The trial of Mrs. Lavina Christophano,
in the Court of General Sessions yester-
day afternoon, on an indictment charg-
ing her with assault with intent to Kill
Angelo Caprio. was marked by testimony
of a most contradicting character. and re-
suited in the conviction of the defendant
of assault and battery.
The complaining witness, a very stoGt
and very voluble italian, testified tnat
about IL O'Clock on the morning of July
II last, while standing in the window of
his home at the rear OF his barber shop
at 12s Montgomery street, he called out
to Mrs. Christophano to stop making
trouble for him or he would have her
brought to court for it. The woman, he
said, who was standing in the window Of
her home opposite, replied by firing a
ehot from a revolver at him.
Capro's story was corroborated by his
ten-year-old daughter, who testified that
she stood at his side during the occur
renee She said that Mrs. Christophano,
while holding her baby in one arm turned
her head and with her right hand dis
charged the pistol The fourteen-year-
old son of the complaining witness also
gave corroborative testimony.
The defendants story was to the effect
that Christophano who was her tenant,
had come to her apartments and attempt
ed to assault her. She said she fired the
shot from the revolver to frighten him,
and that he jumped out of a third-story
window. Several witnesses corroborated
this story in part.
Judge Blair's charge seemingly favored
a verdict of simple assault, and the jury
was not long in reaching the conclusion
that she was guilty to that extent.

in the office of the County Register yes

favor Of the Mutual Life Insurance Com

Gently acquired property and also $50 feet
on York street. was flied. The mortgage
bears interest at AZ per cent.
1t has been known for some time that
the property was sold to the sister> al
though the runor was persistently denied
by those interested in the matter. When
the city bought the Flemming mansion
for an annex to School No. the transac-
tion had been just closed when an agent
for the Sisters made an offer. 1t was too
low and rejected by Mr.. Flemming. The
agent sought to have the Board of FL
nance break the sale in order that they
might acquire the property but Commits
soner John Mullins declined and the pur-
chase stood
The object of the purchase is to extend
the present buildings of the Home up to
Washington street and erect so it is said
a fine chapel. Whether or not the hotel
itself Is to remain is question on which
at present it is impossible to CLEAN much
information Mr.. F. Case, the present
lessee of. the hotel, has up to March Is
before the expiration of the lease, and it
is doubtful whether it will be renewed for
any longed term than year. Mr.. Case
has nothing to say about his plans.

AN IRISH DINNER NOW
Suburban Club Preparing For a
Celebration in Honor of
the adden.

''oh, Paddy McFadden was greasy and
fat
And the hair of his head stuck out of
his hat;
He'd a fine open house-the windows were
broke
And the roof was all off to keep out the
smoke"
The many descendants of the above
named historic figure, residing in Hud-
son county, have decided to honor his
memory by giving dinner Why not?
There's the Scotia Club. composed of
Germans and "Eyetalians,1 they have a
dinner every year; the Bar Association
where there's not ''barkeepp in the
whole crowd; the Board of Trade, where
everybody there is not a member; the
Lincoln dinner, checked full of Demo-
Gratis, and the Cosmos Club. where every
body is out of order, they have dinners,
and where does the Irishman come in?

official should be paid to the

capacitated official should be paid to the
deputy.
This opposition to his bill greatly sur
prised Mr.. Mckee, at least he said So
and proceeded to defend it vigorously.
He suggested that it be placed back on
second reading SO that it could be amend
ed in such a way as to overcome the
fears of the Senators, and that was DONE
Another one of Mr. McKees measures
raised something like interest in the dull
proceedings. His bill providing that eash'
miles in cities and fifteen miles in the
country shall be the maximum speed 10
be prescribed for automobiles was taken
I'D on third reading. Senator Cross OIL
Union thought that eight miles an hour
would be a hazardous feat in sucn con-
gested points as could be found in Jersey
City and the other large cities OF the
State.
Mr.. Mckee sprang to the defense OIL
his measure with all his characteristic
energy and said that a person could wax
from four to six miles an hour ana elghl
miles was safe for an automobile under
any circumstances. The idea of the Dill
was to prescribe a uniform rate OF speed
throughout the State so that chuneurs
would not be subject to one requirement
in one town and an entirely different one
in a town closely adjoining.
The measure was vigorously opposed py
Mr.. Hudspeth, who said that now chuf-
feur is obliged to exercise care under all
circumstances, but should the bill be-
come a law he might plead as an excuse
for carelessness and resulting accident
the law prescribing a minimum rate Oh
speed. After some further talk along this
line the bill was lost by vote OF to IL.
On motion of Mr. Hudspeth the vote by
which the bill was lost was reconsidered
this morning.
The Assembly chamber rang with that
kind of eIoquence, which used to arouse
the patriotic enthusiasm of our fore
fathers on Fourth of July and Training
Day. 1t was all brought about by Mr..
Lords bill against the Anarchists. Mr..
Waite of Camden, very serious orator
of the old school, most vocierously op-
posed the measure. He declared that no
one deplored the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley more than he did, and no
one would go further than he would to
prevent a repetition of that dastardly
deed. The bill, however. was so drawn
that if strictly contrued it would preclude
free speech and render liable to heavy
penalties any person who might criticise
an administration.
Several members took a similar view OF
the bill, and it was laid over for further
consideration.
