oranges and lemons who occupied the side

to purchase of them. The Mayor notified the
Lieutenant OF the Sixth district to break up the
nuisance complained of, which was effectually
done, as will be seen from the above letter of
thanks.

FRAUDS ON THE NEWARK TREASURY.
A FORGED 100000 wARRANT-sUPPosED FLIGHT
OF THE FORGER.

A FORGED $4,000 WARRANT-SUPP0SED FLIGHT
OF THE FORGER.
Yesterday afternoon the Treasurer of the
City OF Newark received call from boy Of IT, who pre-
sented city warrant drawn out in proper form and
signed by Mayor Ricord for $4,000 The boy demanded
payment and the Treasurer took the warrant and com
menced counting out the money. He had counted
slOOO when he found that he had noy enough none
to pay the warrant In full lie therefore requested the
bearer TO call again. and he would draw on the city
funds in bank for the remaining 5000 The boy took
his warrant and left.
1t was not then known that the warrant was frandu
lent and signature Of the Mayor forgery But the
subsequent confession Of the youth who presented IT, and
who had become alarmed and had refused to 90 again to
the Treasurer proves that it fraud concocted with
great care by assistant In the City Clerks Office and
part OF series OF frauds perpetrated by him ON the CITY
Treasury.
According to the statement OF the lad made to hi.
pOyer in Jersey City, the forger has for number OF
months been engaged In q systematic OF embeZzle
frauds could be concealed longer and the perperaor
determined TO wind up his affairs with larger swndlc
into his confidence, paid him $500 for his services and
him to the City Treasurer with the forged warrant
Upon learning that the could not be paid yester
day the boy returned the warrant TO the forger saying
he would have nothing more to do with It, The latter
learning OF the failure OF his plans, Immediately lett the
city. IL Is stated, for San Francisco.
These facts communicated last evening to a pri
vate detective in Jersey City, who Immediately went to
Newark TO obtain the aid OF Chief OF Police Clark In
tracing the facts OF the and to apprehend II pos
sibe, the fugitive clerk. Whether the frauds have
have been carried on, whether the forgery OF the
$4,000 is the first that has been perpetrated
cannot until the officers OF the Newark city
Government apprised OF the facts, and have had
time to make their investigation

WHAT'S IN A NAMEi 7

Considerable unpleasant feeling has been
created among the residents OF wamsbridge and Inn
mediate neghborhood in reference TO the name OF the
place. Those persons who live on the east side Of the
Bronx River, including the settlement known as Ohm
VILE short time ago made application TO the Post
70 change the PostOice name to Jerome
on the ground that letters intended for Wilamsbrdge
were frequently sent TO Wamsburgh, L. L. especially
when the word bridge was written in an abbreviated
form inhabitants east OF the Bronx were likewise
desrous to their locality designated by shorter
and more euphonious name The Postmaster, in com
pliance with the wishes OF the petitioners changed the
Post Office to Jerome and subsequently the station
of the Harlem Railroad was changed in like manner
No sooner however, had signbOard bearing the new
name OF Jerome hosted at the railroad depot than
the residents the west side OF the river presented
counter petition to the Harlem Railroad officials TO
back 10 the old of Wilhamsbrdge, and they
graduated themselves that their petition had been favor
ably acted upon. Yesterday morning good deal Of
amusement occasoned seeing the two signboards
Jerome" " Willamsbridge" going up. one over the
other. Which will be recognized on the railroad
meables and by the conductors and brakcuen the
passing trans remains TO be seen.
