A DARK NIGHT.
First and Precints Had a
Monopoly Of Light Last
Night.
TRAFFIC DECIDEDLY SLOW
Hill Residents Had More Ex-
ercise This Morning Than
They Enjoyed.

The electric light officials succeeded
last night in lighting the streets of the
first and second precincts and Newark
avenue in the third as far up as the Five
Corners. The rest of the city-balance
of the third and all of the fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh precincts was in dark
ness.
Police Headquarters was notified yes
terday that the fires in the power house
had been flooded and that it would be
impossible to furnish enough power to
light the street. When the police real
lied that the city at night would be in
darkness reporters were requested to say
nothing about it, as it would attract an
influx of thieves.
Both steam and trolley traffic were
seriously crippled up to noon today.
Thousands of people on the Heights, in
order to reach the ferries and places of
business down town were obliged to
walk or spend hours sitting in stalled
trolley ears. During the rush or COM
mission hours it took over three hours
for car to traverse the, distance be-
tween Bayonne and the Pennsylvania
ferries. The Summit avenue line cars
were still out of commission, the bridge
washed away.
The trains on the. Pennsylvania and
Central railroads were running this morn
ing-on schedule time, but on the Erie
there was but little doing. Last night
only the mail trains We're running be-
tween this city and Passaic. There were
no milk trains and a milk famine was
almost threatened Beyond Passaic as
far as Port Jervis no trains were run
Eiag The cleveland Express; due yes
terday afternoon, was stalled at Tuxedo.
On branch lines Erie trains succeeded
in running to Newark. Norwood, Orange
and Hackensack. The Erie officials ar
ranged with the Lackawanna to carry
the Erie commuters to Montclair and
Bloomfield Washouts were reported all
along the line and two bridges are down.

"Jersey City, October 9, 1903

following letter.
"Jersey City, October 9, 1903.
s'Mr. George L. 1ecord:
Dear Sir-My attention has been
called to certain statements made by you
at a Republican meeting in Elks Hall
Wednesday night, in which you ask me
to answer certain questions. j do not
know what right you have to ask ques-
tions, and why l should answer such
questions as you dig out of the ash
barrels of the City Hall; but, by insinu-
alton, you have attacked my reputation
as a lawyer, and questioned my honesty,
and for that reason, and for that only,
/ shall truthfully and fully answer the
questions.
'1The first question v3u ask is whether
l approve of Mayor Fagan's action in
increasing the tax on the property of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company? ?
Ny answer is yes. l am in favor of
equal taxation, as my record in the
Legislature ana my speeches on that sub
ject clearly prove If were Mayor of
Jersey City and appointed a Tax Com
missioner who carried out my policy in
that respect as faithfully as Mr. Lindsay
did I would reappoint him when his
term expired, and not even the threat
of a political boss to oppose my renomi-
nation would prevent my doing so.
In answer to your question in refer
ence to the school site desire to say:
sThat warrant for 81 800 which you
read in your speech showed on its face
that it was in payment for twelve lots
purchased by the City, and yet you
deliberately deceived your audience by
saying that it was only for six lots,
namely Is to 81, block 1890, on Grant
avenue, which you declared were pur-
chased by Fallon from Daumont. Mr..
Daumont never owned these lots. The
fact is, those lots were purchased at
public auction by Robert Davis from
]. e. Van Wrinkle, auctioneer, on May
20, 1900, and the title came through the
vreeland and Taylor estates, and not
Daumont, as the records of the Court
House and City Hall clearly prove
'"The property Fallon purchased from
Daumont consisted of lots so to 55, block
1890, on Claremont avenue, which were
conveyed on March 5, 1901. Ny part
ner, Mr.. Bagen, and had absolutely
nothing further to do with the transac-
tion between Fallon and Daumont ex-
cept to draw the deed. Mr. Fallon, ac-
companied by Mr.. Daumont, came into
our Office and told US he had purchased
those lots and requested us to draw the
deed. We got the description of the
property and asked the consideration and
they. b6fh requested that $1.O0 be put in
as the consideration. There was no
other contract of sale so far as l know.
The agreement had been made ry Fallon
and Daumont before they reached our
Office and we drew the deed as directed.
