Grant for 25H Cents a Foot.

TRENTON, Sept. 15.-At y%ester-
days session of the joint committee
of the legislature, which is investi-
eating the granting Or riparian
rights, it came out that the board in
1891 gave to the Edgewood and Fort
Lee railroad a piece of ground 5,S37
feet on the Hudson river for $1,000,
or 25 Y cents per foot. Members of
the board testified that Attorney Gen
eral John p. Stockton, who is now
dead, confirmed the boards action.
The records of the board show that
that he did not give an opinion, and
that the grant was made at a special
meeting held early in the morning.
George L. Record was not present
at Yesterdays session.
At the afternoon session, Attorney
General McCarter said that the Stan
dard Oil Company, through a subsid-
larry concern, the New York Glucose
Company, had tried to grab land in
Bergen county, on the Hudson river,
at a very low rate. The grant was
awarded, he said, by the riparian
board to the Morris Building COM
pany, at $50 a foot, with a rebate OF
$40 a foot. The attorney general as
serted that an adjoining grant was
held by the Glucose Company. On
both tracts the concern Immediately
afterward erected a five hundred
thousand dollar factory.
The investigation was adjourned
until next Friday.

Was Not Reynolds

Local friends of Jim Reynolds. the telegraph operator who was thought to have perished in the hote' fire at Texarkana last week, now be- lieve that he was not one of the men whose bodies were found in the ashes of the lodging house. Despite the fact that a description of Reynolds and his brother was telegraphed to the chief of police and the hotel clerk. no answer has been received from either of them. and it is thought that the remains could not have an swered the description or an answer would have been sent.
 Reynolds was peculiar character in some ways, and when the notion to go on a trip about the country would strike him. he would throw un his job and go He would leave nc word with his friends, and wouI'
 appear when he got ready as sudden lv as he had left. This is the third time that he has left Pine Bluff and his friends are hoping to see him Eere again. He is good operator and there is no doubt of his ability tf work himself back here when he "ets ready to come.
