pany, and the outcome of it will have the effect ou all the. other rebellious corporations. The suit is in the Supreme Court, and i- ior a writ of men Jamus directed against the company to, compel it to make a return of its gross receipts, so that it can be taxed for the benefit of the localities whose properties it uses The Plainfield Water Com pany has answered and the further action in the suit is dependent for the . Attorney General to demur -to the answer which may be done during the coming week. The suit is very important because ii the corporations win the celebrated Yoorhees municipal Iran chise act is nullified and the municipalities deprived of considerable income The State is interested because the corporations being in doubi will no: pay their customary Sute tax. so that while the suit is pending the jdrpora.ions get

it of tpaying either tax.

Tuberculosis (Commission is denied b the officers of the commission. There is no more jliscase amdng cattle this year than last year, and in proof of this the commission has on hand rcorr funds than it had last year at the same time. ' It expects to have enough money4V carry it to'Thc end of the -fiscal year Its usual exforience has been that it exhausted the i appropriation at the end of the ninth month. • The State ntakes an appropriation ol $10,150 for the expense of the Tuberculosis Commission and the inspection o! caltlc coming into the State. There is much more tuberculosis in th; adjoining States than in.New Jersey. It is generally -believed that the commission has the disease under control.- It is using more care in the slaughtering of herds and works principally on individual cattle. The dairy counties ol the Sute. such as Sussex and Salem, are the most affected with the disease. After lingering in pain two days. Elmer Green and ..George Anglicnbatigh. who were accidentally scalded by steam in a -bleaching tank ^t Gloucester City, died within a few moments of each other Each lad war- abom 15 years old. Before his death the fact developed that young Augbenbaugh had attempted to commit suicide by butting his head against the side of the tank when he ic«nd that the steam had been turned on and that they were in a trap ior which escape seemed impcssible. The lad «ras conscious before lie died and thus explained a large bruise on his forehead. At a late hour Prosecu tor IJoyd-announced that he probably !. arould order an in\e«:iga:ion of the case. The two boys had gone down Into the tink in the performance ol ! their duty, which was to fold cloth. when some one. net knowing they in it. turned on the steam.
