Trenton, Peb. 17.?Tho equal taxation hearing
this afternoon mad? It pi tt y plain that the p?-o
ple of Jersey City ar?? aim ?I unanlmoUJ In de?
manding a ciian?'.? In th? laws under which rail?
road property is taxed differently from that of
Individuate. Henry V. Condici put the case In
? nutshell When h?* ??.aid: "The railroad pays $?'?
on Its roadbed or main ?-tern and |1S on all other
property while I pay 117 50. As a matter of
fairness they should pay thn same ?a I do."
Nevertheless it is reasonably certain that the
Reactors and Assemblymen from the farmir.i*
dl-tiicts will opp se tiny change in the law.
They beiteve that the reanlt would be to ln<*reaee
th? lr bur Un, nnd no amount of facts or firm?-?
?a?Wl? likely to affect that belief.
The echoo] law of ??'?? over which there has
be??* so much hubbub Is likely to stand. There
are ?ectlons of It, however, which need am?*nd
Ing. One of thee? ?action? provided for a re?
bate system Intended to equalize th?' valuations
of school houses uroupcd ?n the tame district.
That has been found cumbersome and inequi?
table, and Senator Johnson has Introduced a bill
to repeal it.
Governor Grlggs arrived at the State House be?
fore 3 o'clock this afternoon and the crowd
pounced up?>n him at once. The Governor looks
five years older than he did on lnr-URtirntlon day,
fc i.r weeks ago, but he continues as pleasant
? nd patient ns ever.
A determined effort le being made by a handful
of politicians to defeat the bill patting th? Su?
preme and Chancery Court clerks on a yearly
ealary of feOOO each. Instead of paying them fees
es at pr???nt. This?, too. In spite of the fact that
the work of both office? is d ne by sub ?rdlnatea
end that the labor don? by the heads of the <l?
P'Utinents would nut he paid at half tt.OOO by
any eorporatloo or individual. After the plain
jr??mises of the Republican party on this subject,
tn? Democrats are hopeful that th?* salary bills
will be beaten, so that they may have Rome cam?
paign ammunition.
Senator Ktlhl, one of the Democratic trio In
the Senat?, Is? backing James I". I'roadhead. a
"Flemlngt'.n lumb* r-deal?-r. for appointment on
the State Board of Assessors.
A deficiency appropriation bill is being pre?
pared, but It will hardly be rea ly before next
we.-k. When the bill was pawed last year, ap?
propriating a ?pacific sum for each department,
the minimum figure was named. In a few case
increases will have to he made. Bettdea the???
there are omissions to be provided for. No esti?
miate of the gross Increase can b? made just yet
The contest between ex-Congre?enoan J. Hart
Brewer and ex-Sheriff Sk'.im, both of Mi reer, for
the office ol State Prison Keeper ha? become s.?
hot as to encourage the alonmouth County
frlend9 of John Hubbard to hope that he may
?lip in as a compromise.
Nothing ha? been done so far with John K<
hoe's petition against Prosecutor Btagg, of Ber?
gen County. Although tho Impresplin prevails
here that there Is little in the charges, yet It has
caused ???? surprise that Stagg ha? not mani?
fested any great anxiety to have himself and his
cflloe lnveatiiiat.-J.
The barbers' Sunday Noon Closing bill was
Introduced by Assemblyman Skinner. Mr. Skln
G??? also Introduced the Newark Armory bill.
The building is estimated to cost 1270,000, and
the plan is to appropri?t?* that amount in two
years. Mr. Skinner also fathered a measure en?
abling local boards of health to requ?re the regis?
tration and licensing of milk-dealers.
The Assembly took hold of the coal combln?
?question in earnest by passing a reaolutloa di?
recting the Judiciary Committee to prepare a
?bill prohibiting all such combination?. The bill
.tvill soon be forthcoming.
Vagaries of w-ather never seem to affect the
????e of the M ?day night gathering nt the State
House. The attendance thla evening was of the
usual numerical proportion^ tbe only noticeable
tribute to the condition of the thermometer be?
ing th? appearance of heavy wraps and ovr
?odtS.
Foster M. Voorhees, leader of the S'-nate, did
not ?respond to the roll call In that body, and, as
aitile of importance is don? without his approval,
it was expected that tli?? session >?f th? "Upper
Howe" would be ?comparatively tama
Senator Bradley Introduced a ? irough bin
?given to him by Mayor Ten J'?: leek, who la likely
to be th.? Senator*? opponent for the .Mayoralty.
Mr Tea Broe? ? say? that the measure is practi?
cally a re-enactmeni of the Borough act <>f ?*?9?,
which was d-clarcd une on?Ttttutl.>r.al by the
6u] reme Court.
Senator Johnson's Palisade bill was ordered to a
third reading without remara
There Is great amusement here at the ?fforts
of the Democrat? and their organs to make th*
r?? ??Ie forget the part that thf-y played four years
?iro In b Isteiing up the coal combine. One New
York newspaper capped the climax this mornlri>*
by making th?? foil ?win? ?tatement? tn Its edi?
torial columns In relation to the light at that
time:
The present Governor Gtlggs, th*?n the ?eider of
the Republican minority In th<? Btat? Senate, was
?n active leader in the fight again-t the monopoly.
The combinaUon thla year is nuite a? Itegrant
and oppmalve as any that haa precie**] it. it is
in violation alike of the K-leral and <.f state haw?
But If the.??? laws need to he. made m .r" explicit to
insure a certain conviction of the offen 1er?, the
MOMsary airo??. Intent? should be promptly ena :t<
Th?? Republl am ur.- n.iw In control In .Ww-.ttr
?ey. Public li.terest le cuno is to nee whether the
s?al and the weetn of Oovernor Griir>r<< and his
party In the l.??Kii.!,iture will be equul to that of
th? r.emoorate In UH.
Now for the fa<*ts: John W. Orlirgs ?eft the
gtate Senate in 18SS. The coal combine came
Into existence, so far as th?* public was concerned,
early in PH2. Thomas? V. Lane, then a Demo?
cratic Aese-mblyrr.an, Introduced a resolution dl
ivctlng an investigation. Allan L. M?**D**rni >tt,
one of the Demo,ratte "Pig Four," was appointed
counsel to the committee charged with th? work.
For some reason, the ardor of the Investigation
coolt-d ere it was ecaree warm. Peonia w? re ask?
ing questionnas to what It all meant, when they
were ar.awercd by the introduction of a bill spe?
cifically legalizing the coal combine. Jamo??
Biniti-.. Jr.. now Unitasi BtatM Sanatori Mile?
Jt ss, Allan I. McDermott and Governor Abbott
Joined foro?? In poshing that measure through.
\Vh??n other influences failed, they declared It?
passage a party DSCOSSlty and threatened with
eterna! political tsttracisni all who dared ?
it. Cini? r th? party ?ash the bill was whipped
through both houses in spite of Republican op
? ?.tl m. The? it u.is t'K.t John W. C'rlgir? .. i
?ther private citlz.'iis rais?'?! their v?*4?MS In pro?
test. The sn nn became ?0 great that Governor
Abbett dared not sign the bill which he had been
instrumental In creating. For bla surrender to
popular clamar on this question Abbett was pun?
ished by the coal companies ?rasa he reached
out Ms hand the following year to grasp th?

Umptlng to wreck tho saloon of Qeorge Toomey,
The city Marsha! is not a lawyer, bui he undertook
to di fund the prisoners. Captain Farrier objected,
ftti 1 InQUlred, "What right has this man In this

Policeman Rodger? for coaching tbe Bsloonkeep? r,
who had omitted to ?ay that lh? defendant? had

There wa? nnoth'T clash when Captain Farrier hu?

IN OERMANT.
| Trenton, N. J? ??>!>. 17 (Special).?The trial of
? the XV. V.. Hrockway gang of counterfeiter j in
; the United States District Court here to-day
? wns sensational. Tho thro?? prisoners, Hrockway,
Charles Wsgner and Abble L. Smith, who were
captured in th?? Huholren house No. 542 Ann-st.,
! were plainly surprised when It was developed
! by th? testimony that a prince of counterfeiters
1 lo years gone by had been in the employ of the
j Government since his engagement by I>r. Hrad
! ford and Hrockway to make the plates for the
$:,00 gold oertlflCrStes with which they were to
flood the country, and that he wa9 really none
other than Charles G. Ulrich. If the minor de
iendants on trial, Mrs. Smith and young Wag?
ner, wer?? surprised at learning that "Adolph
Wagner," who was arrested with the gang on
August 3, waa Charles Ulrich, the large Trenton
audience In the courtroom was much more so,
for Ulrich Is an old resident of Trenton, who has
lung been regardai as dead. Ulrich years ago
was a copper etcher and expert etujrraser for one
Of the rle.-orating departments of a big pottery
company here. He was "naturally crooked," his
Mends said. Several years ago he organized
what is now the leading decorating pottery in
Trenton, with a prominent N<-w-Jersey politician.
Later he was found by Government secret ser?
vido men in a saloon uptown surrounded by coun?
terfeit $10 bills and a complete oittllt for making
Spurious currency. He had "floated" thousands
of dollars of his counterfeits, and when arrest"?l
the Government officials ?rere c?impellcd to take
him from prism her?? to Wsshlngton to sort out
tii" genuine from the counterfeit bills, in ?some
manner Ulrich had suec.led in "acquiring pos?
session of a quantity of genuine Government
[?per.
HIS CAREER ABROAD.
For this service render d ths Government Ul?

mensely eresi thy. But he ran sh ?rt of funds In
% year or tw?>, snd at once returned to his oil
work of counterfeiting, li? Ilo ?ded Oennany with
spurious American banknotes snd securities, wss
.?:? ? ], tent to prison and hla property was
confiscated, in?* frlenda then understood that
he died in the German prison. It was ahoarn to
dsy thst the United Btstes r?ecret ?Service otTWrs

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company wae ad?

oellor M'??} 11, In Jersey city, rendered a decision to
that effect, but refrained from Inn?, sing th<> pun
Isbment Th?? protracted struKi?le that has been
In progress in Jersey City for nearly eight years be
tween the Pennsylvania and the National Dock?
and Junction Connecting Railroad ce ?ipantes, led to
this etrtous complication for the offending cor--?any.
Th?j Nailonai Docks Railway Company, which i?
one of the many branches of the Standard Oi\ Com?
pany, to a line that was buiit twenty y?*ars ago from
tn?? Pennsylvania Railway track? to tho oil Com?
pany*? yard and warehouses, at Caven Point. Jer
?-??y Ctty. It run? south from th?? Pennsylvania
tracks at the Point of Rocks, and connects with the
Central Railroad of New-Jersey and the I>?Mr>h
Valley mad. Th?> Junction Road was built ? f-?r
years lat'-r, and run? north from the Pennsylvania
track*, at the Point of Rocks to the Wait Shore
Btatloa at Weehawken. It o?)r.n?-cts with the Krl?
tracks; the Montclatr and Greenwood Lak?
road and tho N'ew-Je-s.y and New-York road,
which companies use the Krle tracks In Jersey City.
It a.so unltf-s with the Delaware, I^ackawann? ?uid
Western Railroad. The Junction Road la con?
trolled by the Vanderbllts.
The advantage of connecting the Junction and ^.e
National Docks roads was palpable to the two
wealthy corporation?. It would afford a complete
union of all the reals having terminal? In Jena*y
City and divert a l?rice amount of '.raffio from tn?
Pennsylvania Company. The Junction Connectai
Company ?rai formed to construct this link, which
Is to be barely two blocks long. They first aimed
to run across the level of the Pennsylvania track?
and the struggle began. That scheme was finally
abandoned, aa the possibility of the Pennsylvania
- ruj tralHc on the cross Une by blocking Its side?
track* was plain.
The Pennsylvania track? were elevated at the
Point of Etodta The company filled In With earth
bei w these tracks for a width of 130 f*?et, ani the
tracks are thirty feet above the level of the ?tn '..
The Junction Company decided to tunnel thr, ugi
tho Pennsylvania Company's tilling. They were
foturht In the county, St it?', Chancery ani United
S'oit??? District courts. Th.* Pennsylvania Company
i? el ved an award of |I)MN damages, ani tii?
money was promptly ? ,n 1 in to the t'ourt. Th?
Junction Company won a series of legal Mattata
only to be forced to meet some r.? w movement. They
supposed that they ba 1 ?oortd their final victory
when in September last they bassa . xcaviiing. ar.d

??own at their workiiiiii by the Pennsylvania
par.y'ri empioyea Tbea tbey were ?ompelled t o
ba.k to tbe Court ef Chancery.
?>? 1 ?1? ? "f the Pennsylvania Company was that
the Junction Company's plans should be altered,
that they should ?ink the level of their tunnel
? ? .per and avoid disturbing the Pennsylvania
tracks. The purpoae W?? not only to secure delay,
but to iii?ik? the grade of th?? connecting line so
st.ep that they could not successfully operate the
line without extending it. and this world force
then to ac'iulre more property. There was a pos?
sibility that the Pennsylvania Company bad eh?
lattici control of the property that would be t.ceded,
and could put additional lesal obctacl? s In tl. ? way.
Alter bearlns the testimony of expert enx.ii'??:?,
Vice-Chencellor Held, :o whom th?? case was re?
ferred, decided in favor of the Junction Company
and Issued s permanent Injunction prwentin?. th?
Pennsylvania Company from further Interference!
The injunction allowed the jun?-tion Company to

well as active commissiona. This U not denied by
th.? defendant, but it sa>s In extenuation that it

which Is a matter for further consideration, when
the Court's decree if openly defied as In this case
Ii cannot be overlooked, and I have reached the
conclusion that I should direct the 'sguance of the
process of aequsstratlon against ? he company?
prop.it ? 1 bell?"'.' 'h?' company has acted tn good
faith by the advlee Of counsel and I w 11 suspend the
Uauance of the process for thirty days. In th?

to compel re?p?'-t of Its order?."
