Hotel, Harrison, Broken Into.

Another robbery occurred in Harrison
last night or early this morning, the IN
ternational Hotel, in Worthington avenue
beingthe scene of operations. The place
is owned by o. Jacobsen, and from the

being placed at $65.

transom oyer the front door, a chisel
being used TO break In. Besides taking
money and stock the burglars wantonly
smashed things in the place.
The robbery is supposed to have taken
place about / a. m, as at that time a
daughter of MI. Jacobsen's was awakened
by noise coming apparently from the bar
room. but attributed the sounds to cats
and thought no more of it until the bar
tender, when opening up this morning,
found the place a wreck.
The saloon was closed last night at 11:46
o'clock. and Mr.. ~Jacobsen's daughter, re-

MADE
TO SETTLE
WATER SUIT
Vice Chancellor Suggests
That Jersey City Pay Con-
tract Price in Agreement.

Charles L. Corbin, of counsel, with
former Senator William D.. Edwards and
William H. Corbin, for the Jersey City
Water Supply Company, which is defending
the suit brought before Vice-C Chancellor
Stevens by Jersey City over the terms of
the contract and the prices to be paid for
the water system 1t has been using since
May, 1904, said this morning on resuming
his argument, begun late yesterday, that
the other side had talked for two days
about various matters pertaining to the
water question without one reference to
the vital issue, which, he said, was en-
bodied in the contract made by the city
with Patrick ]. Flynn, the original con-
tractor
vice-chancellor Stevens interrupted Mr..
Corbin's argument early in the morning
to ask James B. Vredenburgh, chief coun-
sci for jersey City, if he could suggest any
middle course of settlement with the water
company.
Il cannot conceive" said the court, 'any
reason why the defendant is not entitled
to one Of two alternatives. l say this
now so that counsel may address them
selves to the subject. One of these is that
the city pay in accordance with the con-
tract price fol- the water, or a rental sum
based on a legal rate of interest on such
sum as the court shall award. If counsel
can suggest a middle course l should be
glad to hear it,"
Mr.. Vredenburgh said he would present
his views on the proposition in his answer
ing argument.
Counsel may as well understand that 1
can see no escape from a decree in this
case that will direct one or the other of
these plans OF settlement" added the
court. "Of course. in this suit the court
is not to consider the question of. dam
ages arising from any inferiority in the
water. That's a matter the city may
bring up in a suit for damages"
Charles l.. Corbin then resumed his argu-
ment making the terms and specifications
of the contract the basis of an exhaustive
dissertation upon the legal obligations in
volyed.

John Hart, 20 years old, of % Foundry

being killed at the National Metal
Works on the Plank road last night.

stopped.

injury was a broken arm. He was
taken to st. James's Hospital. After
his arm was attended to he begged to
be allowed to go home. The physicians
did not want to let him go, as they
thought he was injured internally, but
as the man persisted he was not de-
taired.

altar yesterday with a couple of visi-
tors, when the "~panhandler' walked out
from the sacristy and stood a few feet
from the priest.
Father O'Connor went over to the
man, thinking that he wished to see
him on some business. and on asking
him what he could do for him, the
stranger asked him for ten cents to get
to Jersey City.
