OLD CITY HALL GONE.

The old city hall--land mark--has
practically disappeared. All that is left
of it is the foundation. 1t had for years
been considered TO be in an almost top
pling condition andw hen the work of
tearing down its walls began it was es-
pecially feared that either the front or
Cooper place side would fall and possibly
cause castrophe. Old timers who knew
of the rotten condition of the building
have maryelled at the structure gradu-
ally, but systenaticailydisa ppearing with
out an accident of some sort and many
are the words of econocium on the ability
of F'reeholder James Billingten, wha as
a builder is tearing down the old struc-
ture to make room for big Eve story
store building which he has the contract
for building.

PROPERTY HaLDERs KICK

Assembly Chamber Crowded
With Protestarts Against
Manhattan AyenueSew-
or Assessment.

Nearly two hundred property owners
of the Hudson City section appeared be-
fore the Assessment Commissioners in
the Assembly Chandler of the City Hall
{ kant elaoasAeBJt tEsl sdgr ?hF Fagana
this morning to protest against assess
ments levied against them for the con-
structicn Of the Manhattan avenue trunk
sewer that empties itself in the Hacken-
sack River. In addition to individual pro-
tests d Joint resolution adopted by af-
feeted property owners in the Twelfth
Ward att meeting held Saturday night
protesting against the assessments levied
against them was handed the Commis-
sioners. They asked for re-assessment.
The present assessments were declared
excessive.
q ost of the compliments live off the
line Of the trunk sewer. They had been
served with notices that they were not
liable for assessment. Ghief Englneer
Van Keuren, who was present, had con-
siderable difhculty in convincing them
that they would not have to pay the as
sessments until their streets We're inn
proved and their houses connected with
the Manhattan avenue sewer-that the
notices were merely those of prospective
assessment. They will not be really as
sessed until they sign for sewers in their
respective streets that are to empty into
the Manhattan avenue trunk sewer
Residents Of Sanford place put up the
biggest fight, The Sanford place sewer
empties into the Hoboken avenue sewer,
which is now overtaxed on account Of
50 many side street sewers emptying into
it. They siad they paid for the con-
tsruction Of the Sanford place sewer.

Several Mysterious
Jobs.
ENTERED lsHGDoH'S SHOE STORE


Martin Hilderbrandt, eighteen years
old, of No. 214 York street, and Edward
Swanson, seventeen years old, of No. 331
Avenue, Bayonne, were each held in
$1,000 for the, Grand Jury by Police
Justice Hoos in the Second Criminal
Court this morning on charges of break
ing and entering the shoe store of Ste
phens Langdon, No. 451 Grove street, at
half-past three o'clock this morning and
of burglars toels being found in their
possession.
The police are inclined to think they
have in their tolls brace of young bur-
glars that have done several mysterious
burglary jobs, but both prisoners declare
that last nights crime was their first Of
rense. While they gave the above adj
dresses in statements to the police, they
confessed they had Been stopping fol
some time at the Montauk lodging house
in Montgomery street.
Policeman Perry was patrolling his
post in Grove street early this morning
when he was surprised at finding the shoe
store Of Mr.. Langdon in darkness. He
tried the door and found it locked. Then
he tried the doorway of hall alongside
the store. The door opened and the po-
liceman found young Hilderbrandt
crouching in the hallway. He asked Hill
derbrandt what he was doing there. Hill
derbrandt said he had been locked out
from his apartment and had Intended to
sleep in the hallway until morning. The
policeman made further Investigation.
He procured light and found that the
bars of a window between the hallway
and the store had been sawed, and also
that door leading from the hallway into
the store was unlocked. Grabbing young
Hilderbrandt he led him into the store,
struck light and there found young
Swanson, who was unable to properly ac-
count fer his appearance at that hour in
the shoe store. Some Of the stock had
been evsshauled, and some of it appar-
emily laid aside for renewal.
The two lads were taken to the Sew
enth street police station. When search
ed saws, screw drivers, knives, chisels,
pieces of small wire and other tools used
by burglars were found in their poses
sion.
Both made an apparently full confes-
sion. They admitted that they had. pick
ed out Langdon's shoe store for job on
Sunday night, but found they could not
do the job without proper tools. The
tools, they said, they bought in New
York yesterday. They said they went to
a theatre last night and walked the
streets until they thought it safe time
to do the job they had planned.

no DECISION MILL BIZ MADE

It was reported today that the trolley
committee would meet this afternoon and
again consider Mr.. Thomas A. Nevins'
proposition to combine the road. Whether
the committee meets or not it was
learned on good authority that no deci-
sion would be reached regarding the deal
fer the reason that several of the more
prominent members are out Of town.
he committee will come to no conclusion
until these gentlemen return.
Conflicting rumors are still surrent as
to who is behind Nevins in the deal
1t is said now that August Belmont of
New York has hand in it., and that the
syndicate is backed BY s5.000,0eO. On
the other hand, it is said that the Penn
sylyania Railroad is the main spring of
the whele affair.
In the event of the deal going through
It is said there will be many changes in
the Official mana cement of the reads.
Some are of opinion that there will be
clean sweep, while others predict that
with the exception of the heads of the
roads there viii be practically no
changes. Whether General Manager
David Young win remain in control de-
pends entirely ON who is behind the deal.
SIR. Young, it is said, stands well with
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
would probably remain in charge if the
Pennsylvania acquired control. Mr.
Young, however, is in need Of rest, and
would, it is said, be glad to relinquish
bis responsibilities for awhile at least.
