Threatened to Serve an Injunc-
tiOn to Prevent the Moving
Of. Building.
To TEST MARTIN ACT.
Declare the Property Should Not Have
Been Sold for Taxes as all the Heirs
Did Not Know of the Condition of Af-
fairs-May Tie Up the Work-Matter
May be Taken to Court of ChanCery.

Today or within a few days, it is
stated, there will be an injunction
issued stopping work on the improve
ment at the northeast corner of Smith
and State streets. 1t is understood
that some of the former heirs of the
property have placed their claims to
the property in the hands of Lawyer
J. W. Beekman, who told a News re-
porter that he would take it to the
Court of Chancery, but refused to
discuss the matter further.
The property formerly belonged to
Mrs. William Woglom and when she
died it was left to her heirs. The
taxes were not paid, however, and the
property was sold by the city of Perth
Amboy. 1t was bought in under the
Martin act and turned over to Mrs.
Alexander Kant, who was one of the
original heirs. Now the other heirs,
it is said, claim that they were not
notified of the sale and did not know
the condition of the taxes and there
fore the sale was illegal and they still
own part of the property.

Perth Amboy in the Grasp Of a Fierce Gale
Reaching Almost the Extent Of Hurricane
...Shipping in the Harbor at Stand
stiII---Trees Blown Down and Tall
Chimneys Crash to the Ground...
Boats Have Disappeared and
Owners Could not Get them
Storm Broke Suddenly and
Swept Everything Before
It--Fire Alarm Rings.

The worst gale that has swept over
Raritan bay in many years, played
havoc along the water front this morn
ing, doing hundreds of dollars worth
of damage within few hours. Boats
are strewn along shore like straw,
MANY of them total wrecks. Power
boats have gone to the bottom ana
oyster floats are mashed. Several
schooners rode the gale in good shape
and besides dragging anchor, were not
affected. Longshoremen declare that
for q few moments the gale amounted
to hurricane. They declare that
only one end of it whirled into Kari
tan bay and they believe the gale was
much heavier near around Sandy Hook
l1ghtship.
Not only is small shipping put en-
tirely out of business, but the build
ings along Front street suffered
greatly. The entire tin roof OF
Bollschweiler & Johnson's hotel lies
in the middle of Water street. Tne
wind got under one end and ripped it
completely off, rolling it up and carry
ing it fifty feet away. The front
windows of the hotel were blown in.
The glass was shattered by the wind
and rain. Hundreds of chimneys were
blown over, some of them crashing
through roofs, doing more or less
damage to buildings. Huge trees all
over the city lay prostrate in the
streets, blocking traffic.
The gale lasted but few hours,
Had it lasted throughout the after
noon the damage would have amount
ed to thousands of dollars. For the
whole distance from the Staten Island
ferry, at the foot of Smith street,
around the point, to the Central rail
Aroad drawbridge, all boats are either
overturned or sunk and yachts are
smasted. The gale came up so
ickly that the owners had not time

AGAINST RUTGERS CLAIM.
Attorney General MeCarter Files Brief
Says Law Unconstitutional

Trenton, Sept. 16-Attorney General
McCarter, representing the State,
yesterday filed a brief in the proceed
ing to compel the issuing of warrant
for $50, 900 upon the State Treasurer
in favor of Rutgers College.
ATTORNEY General McCarter argues
that the law passed last session is un-
constitutional. Counsel for the col
lege hold that this was not donation
of public money to a private institu-
ton. The law provides for State
scholarships, but there is no money to
pay for them.

were caught out. AS fast as the
passengers pulled down the side pro-
tections the wind carried them away
like paper.
In Rector street the big trees in
front of the house occupied by Victor
Ciani, were blown down. They fell
to the westward ana smashed the fence.
In City Hall park several big trees
have fallen in the force of the storm
and big limbs are scattered about all
over the city.
The greatest excitement prevailed
along the waterfront. The gale swept
in carrying everything before it. By
IL O clock boats had left their moor
ings and shipping was at total stand
still. A tug boat laboring heavily
with barge tried to reach the steam
boat dock, but Just as they were near
enough to throw line from the tug,
the barge broke loose and was swept
away. The captain of the tug found
it almost impossible to get near her.
The crew was taken off and the barge
anchored where she was and the tug
made for the dock where she tied up.
The ferry boat Warren is having a
hard time, but is kept going as near
schedule time as possible.
At the foot of Madison avenue and
South First street, where many of the
local fishermen put the boats because
they have fair protection from the
storm, by being sheltered by the Rari-
tan drawbridge, and the old Gregory
boats, many of the boats have been
washed high and dry on the bank,
where the waves have stove great
holes in them, uniting them for
further use. Other boats have been
washed away. The old Gregory grave
yard suffered along with the rest.
Great pieces of the old hulks were
knocked off by the angry waves and
they were washed far out to sea. The
dredge Enterprise was just coming up
the bay when the storm struck her at
its worst, but the captain gave full
steam ahead, and she tied up safely
in front of Schantz & Eckerts machine
shop.
The trains on the Centra, railroad
in going across the old drawbridge at
the foot of South First street. went
very slowly for the sand is nearly all
washed away.
At the new Raritan river bridge and
the Cheeseborough plant, the work
men knocked off work at the first
appearance of the storm, and their is
no doubt but what the damage at these
places will be to a considerable
amount.
When the storm was at its height,
the schools let out and parents left
their homes to hurry to the schools to
get their children away Many tried
to get carriages, but this was almost
impossible.
