further made the suggestion that al

a special public meeting at which the
people would be asked to air their
views on the different plans for the
canal and the city taken into the
scheme that would be of such vital in
terest to them in the future.
The Common Council, and especially
Alderman William P. Martin. came in
for several raps from the speakers be-

special meeting of the Common Coun-
Gil, in which he stated that he thought
the proper body to handle the erection
of the canal was the finance commit

said hat 1t was of small Importance
what body handled the preliminary
work for the scheme so long as it was
under way, for the erection of
the canal and docks was the vital
point. and it was only a. secondary
consideration as to who should be in
charge of the work.
President Denman, who spoke opti-
mistically of the scheme Wednesday
at the Board of Trade outing, was still
more optimistic yesterday. After paint
ing a radiant word picture of the
future Of Newark, he pointed to the
city water works as an instance of
what Newark has done by judiciously
investing money, and said that he saw
no reason why the precedent thus es-

OLD CHARTER HOLDS
lCE-CHANCELLoR FINDS
FOR BEATTY.
Hoboken Property, Sold Many Years
Ago for a Song, Now Worth
Large Sum.

In an interesting decision filed today
by Vice-C Chancellor Howell. the old
charter provision of the city of Ho-
boken, permitting property to be sold
for unpaid taxes and water rents, is
made the issue in a cause brought by
Robert c. Beatty as trustee to quit
title to property in Hoboken now OF
considerable value. The defendants to
the cause are Vivian M. Lewis. admin
istrator of the estate of a deceased
claimant of the property in question,
and Maria Mcmahon, a nonresident.
The court finds that the answer set up
by the defendant fails to state who is
required to pay the costs of the suit.
Samuel A. Besson appeared for the
complainants, and Henry w. Runyon
for the defendants.
In the opinion filed by the court he
shows that Abby G. Spring died prior
to 1877, leaving as part of her estate
a mortgage on the property amounting
to $4,000. S. G.. Babcock was appointed
trustee Of the testatrix estate and fore-
closed on the mortgage. taking title
thereto November, 1877. On June, 2S.
1873, the Hoboken Tax Board sold the
premises under section As of the city
charter of 1866, for S170.99 unpaid taxes
and water rents. In August, 1879, the
same city officers sold the property
again for $165.4S, the defendants named
being the purchasers for 100 years.
Recently when Trustee Beatty en-
deavored to sell the properly ne dis
covered that a lien had beer filed
against the property by Maria Nc
Mahon, who set up a claim to the title
by reason of the declarations of sale
xecuted by the Hoboken officials in
1877. The bill in this suit was there
upon filed by the trustee, who pleaded
when the cause came on 90 be heard that
the old charter provision authorizing
the sale for unpaid taxes specifically
required that possession of property so
sold be taken before twenty years. the
statute limit of adverse rights. The
defendants answered this plea by as
sorting that inasmuch as they are nom
residents the statute Of limitation did
not apply. They also challenges the
jurisdiction of the court on the eonten~
ton that adequate remedy to the trus-
tee could be obtained in the law court.
On all these points the Vice-Chau-
cellor decides against the defendants
and HI finds that all the defenses set
up have failed. The decree viii give
the trustee clear title 70 the prop

WOMEN WON THE STRIKE.
Brunswick Tailor Had to Grant Increase
Because of Demand for Gowns.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 25.-When
Isaac Sahn, who makes the gowns for
most of the fashionable women of the
city, arrived at his shop yesterday,
he found his men standing about idle,
while lying about was a great volume
of work that ought to nave been rushed
out. The tailors calmly told him that
they wanted ten cents an hour more
for their work.
Sahn answered that he couldn't think
of such a thing; that they could go for
all he cared. Then the telephone began
to ring. Mrs. Jones wanted to know II
h could have her gown today; Mrs.
Smith ordered ONE changes in trim
ming; Mrs. White impressed upon him
the need to hurry; Mrs. Brown threat
ened to come around again and tell him
a few things If he didn't get her
dress in time for dinner. and so
on. Sahn frantically appealed to his
men to return to work. They returned
and got the ten cents an hour extra.
