The question under eonsidsratloa Is of the highest importance. There la aa ordlaanoa before the board which will give th Pennsylvania Railroad Company the right to place four additional tracks upon the Public landing, for which privilege the company la to pay the city the sum of $0ts) a year.

This contract la to last for 20 years, the board reserving the right to annul It at anr time upon six months notice. Messrs II ax well and McCalllster represented the railroad company. yommodore Laldley, representing- the steamboat Interests, made a proposition to pay the city tre sura of a year for the privilege of using the wharf, thus shut-tlna out the railroad eomoanv. At first glance this proposition seemed to be a good 1 one for the city, hut upon investigaiioa I inerw appewreu boat companies now pay to the city In the matter of wharfage something like an average of a year. Their proposition was ta include this, so that the city, in the event that it accepted tn proposition, aiui gets but $.1.0 a year.

This fact seemed to strike the members of the committee rather forcibly, and it was suggested that the report t. on be made In the shape of an ord.uance, so that It could be better understood. In the meantime It waa concluded to take no further action until th committee had been given a chance to visit the wharf, which will be done next Monday morning.

Jf'DQB MrN'RILlr-Afalcnaent of A. Weiier A Co. 'Otattna for assignur. At last the secret Is out about the settlement of the trustees of the Commercial Hank with the Hellebusb estate. After keeping the matter entirely under coyer for more than a week, and keeping the creditors In Ignorance of what the trustees were to ret, the formal application for authority to make the settlement waa filed la the Insolvency Cpurt yesterday afternoon.

While there Is no disposition to make It appear that the trustees and their attorneys were ashamed of the settlement that was contemplated, yet when the creditors see what It haa been agreed upon shall be received for th large claim against the estate they may not be surprised that there was a desire apparently to keep bark the terms of settlement until the matter had been fully accomplished. When the failure of the bank occurred, and when the first estimates were msde aa to the asseta and liabilities, there was rt ion that the claim against tha Hel- rDush estate for would pay at 1. TO per cent. There was no doubt of It in the minds of those who professed to know and who made the estimatea. And that estimate has turned out to be like the general estimate of the assets made at the aame time.

In other words, there Is a shrinkage In the value that Is really startling. The petition sets forth that the bank held notes signed by Clemens Hellebush. to the number of 12, segregating $60,000, dated from the 4th of October, 1S90, to the 4th of February, 1892. Also, that the bank held 10 notea signed by C. Hellebush, attorney, aggregating 32.1U0, dated October 18UL.

to December 27; also, that the bank held 29 drafts drawn by the senior Hellebush with different datea from the 23d of September, 1SK2. to January 16. 1853, aggregating 64, Including the protest fees. There Is another note tor $4,165 35. Indorsed-by 8 pecker Bros.

dated October 2. 1890. payable four months after data. There are checks on the Merchants National Bank bearing dates from February 28, 1S91, to January IT. signed by the senior Hellebush.Sagrregallng- fxMU.

There Is a check on the Farmers and Traders' Bank, of Covington, for tl.fWO. There Is also an overdraft of the Hellebush account of b2. The total of all these sums Is t24a.l)t.. K. It will be seen that this total is near tha amount that haa always been said to be owing from the Hellebush estate.

The petition, aftes setting forth the mat ters mentioned, asserts that the Hellebush estate Is Insolvent, and that Is not lie-Ueved that there could he realized on the claim more than that which was offered In settlement of U. The offer was to pay In cash the sum of ttKi.1110 In full of ail claims. Besides, there would be a release by the widow of Hellebush all her dower rtgiil in- two ptecee ot real estate wnicn bad been deeded to the bank as part se- uiitr for tn amount owing, mat real estate Is situated on Hackberry street and at court street and Broadway, rne wnoie la considered to be worth $40,000. From all this rt can be eastly seen that instead of navlna- 70 Der cent- It will Day only about 30, and that there are Just 40 more chance lor the stockholder to pay a large assessment on the stock than was at first supposed. Because of objection by some credit ore who wanted to be heard, the matter of confirming the compromise waa set for hearing to-morrow.

A Law Attacked. There was an interesting case before Judge Wright yesterday morning, and one in which all municipal corporations of the State will toe interested. The suit was ons to en loin the village of Avondale from pro ceeding with the improvemAit of ShUllto street until the damages to' the abutting property had first been ascertained. The baala of the action was that the law authorising- the Council of the village to pro ceed before ascertaining the damage, la unconstitutional. John W.

Warrington at tacked th law. He argued that the law unconstitutional because It was In con travention of Section B. Article 1 of tha bill of rights, t'nder that section and article the property of a person could not be taken until ne naa been compensated. It was. therefore, necessary for bhe vllbta-e ta tint ascertain the compensation due to the property owners before the improvement could be made.

The law In controversy gives th CounoU of a municipal corporation the priv- u-ge awcenain in aamagea befor cr af ler the improvement as It sees fit. Judge Wright granted a temporary restraining order. The plahit.fr in the suit Is Samuel Hunt- Walter Granger represented the village. Adulterated Vinegar. The Supreme Court's decision affirming the decision of Judge Wilson In the case of rb Stat against Weller is of Interest to the manufacturers "of food products.

The case was ons wherein Weller waa arrested at the instance of the Food Commissioner for manufacturing and selling adulterated vinegar. He was convicted, and the case was taken to the Common Court fur review. There Judaa. Wilson held that un less the coloring matter used In the manufacture of the vinegar was one of the essential ingredient, in the distillation it would be arunclal coloring matter within th meaning of the law. V.

anis Sewer Connection. A suit In mandamus was filed In the Com mon Pleas Court yesterday by James a. Cooper against the Board of Administra tion to compel the granting to him of a permit to tap a sewer InrAshland avenue. He says that there was an assessment made oa the property abutting to pay for the sewer. Afterward the Courts declared the assessment to be Illegal, and that th abutting property waa not llabla for the assessment, and that the relator's property waa Included In that It la alleged that when be made application for permission to tap the sewer and tendered the fe of $5 his application was refused, because ne wouia not pay per front foot as a sewer assessment, notwithstanding the fact that the Court had declared It to be illegal, and that the abutting moperty waa not liable for It.

He. therefore h-t the board be compelled to grant the permit. a. awurmia ana vr. j.
