Whether | they thus tried to trim sail for any wind that might blow, or simply did not know any better, was not cxplained. Their re- port follows: We dissent from the clause charging the Board of Supervisors with gross negiizence in ih: cisbursement of some of tue funds al lowed to induce 1mmigration, as we believe ail the funds voted by them were honestly used. We believe, furthermore, that as the Board of Trade iscomposed of representative busi- ness men, honestly and earnestly laboring for the best interesis of the county and isthe recognized headquarters for the distribution of facts and information regardi county, the whole amount of money allowed could be more profitably used by that body an by other agency.

Because cf the Increased Water Rate tha Works WIil Ba Trans- ferred to Brooklyn. | Special Dispatch to THE CALL. | NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—The thresat of | the American Sugar Refining Company | to close its large refinery in Jersey City because the city authorities broke faith bit is being carried out. As told in these dispatches last night, the company | agreed to pay $18,000 of the disputed water | rent, provided the city would sell 1t water This proposition was ac- cepted by resolutfor and the comvany paid the $18,000. Then, at the instigation of Mayor Hoos, the water boarda refused to keep its agreement, demanding an in- creased rate. The company had concluded to close 1e of its refineries in Brooklyn, but not aware of this the Jersey City officials ae- at the old rate. clared there was no danger that the com- | pany wouid shut down the big refinery in their ¢ ty for the trifling sum of $3000 a | 7ear, the difference between the oid and new rates. It is now said the Brooklyn refinery is to be continued and tie Jersey | City one ciosed. Six hundred employes | bave alreadv been discharged, and the re- | maining 500 will zo on Thursday or Fri- | aay. Thusover 1000 families will be de- i prived of support. Most of these men are unskilled labor- | ers and many o! them are foreigners, al- | most entirely ignorant of the English language. This will be the first time in | eighteen years that the sugar-house in | Jersgy City has been closed. When in- | formed ol this action of the company | Mayor Hoos saia: +Jersey City has to buy water at a high rate, and she cannot afford to sellata | los. The city would inevitably suffer if | water was sold ata lower rate to all its customers, who have just the same right to the reduced rate as the sugar-house.” S v | TO SUSPEND NEGOTIATIONS.

The men were to fight fif- teen rounds for a purse of $00. They weighed about 144 pounds each. Elmer was the cleaner boxer, but Parker was the stronger and rougher fighter and won by bard slugging in the mix-ups. Parker re- sorted to untair rushing at the start and was cautioned several times by the referee 10 break away fairly. He kuccked Elmer down twice in the fir<t round and twice in the berinning of the second. The iast time Elmer resied upon his knce just a fraction of a second too long and was counted out.

This was the conclusion eitizens had reached, and the action the investigating commit- tee took this evening indicates that it concurred. At any rate the investigation was commenced anew, as though no testi- | mony had ever been taken. President Mattus of the board an- nounced that he proposed tc satisfy the public, and he 1nsisted that whatever was done must be done to the satisfaction of the general public. This swund of the president was unexpected and startled his colleagues, who had counted on his aid to | make the investigaion mor: or less of a When the takin- of testimony com- menced to-night I. E.

REAL ESTATE HARKET REVIEW Sales of City Property Con-| tinue With No Change in Prices Dealers Report an Increasesd Demand for Tracts of Country Lands. It is the same old story in real estate, many sales at smali prices and a few large ones to break the monotony of the pass- ing weeks. An increase in vprice is looked for soon, and one of the best proofs that such is so is the action of certain dealers in country lands taking various excoalient tracts and subdivisions of tracts off the ma ket, in expectation of a rise in values.
