EI- Several of our people were waited upon
few days since by a young woman of pleasing
appearance, with pitiful tale of distress and
illness of her mother, said to reside in de-
signated locality in this city.
After imposing on several persons, one lady
who bad had the same story presented before,
to her loss, proposed call on the sick mother
This brought confession from the young
lady, who stated that she came from Phla,
and was operating on her own hook, but that
she belonged to family of Longs, who have
been known for years in Trenton as irreclaima-
bly, vicious.
The girl was too old for the Reform School
and apparently not SO bad but that there was
some hope of reform, and she was therefore
allowed, on faithful promises to do better, to
depart.
While it is the duty of people to aid the
needy and distressed, it is also their duty to
see that their aims are worthy bestowed, and
if those appealed to for all would take pains
at personal inconvenience, to learn the truth
about the claims of such people for aid, they
would do much toward preventing professional
mendicancy.

For THE RECORD.
A FEW Words A6OUT THE FIRE DE-
PARTMENT.

A FEW Words ABOUT THE FIRE DE-
PARTMEyT.
1t is afnoticeabIe fact, and one which re-
ceves comment from strangers, that we have
as good Fire Department as any in the State
boil, for apparatus and efficiency to use
them. But we can improve at the same time.
There is one thing that should be done-and
that is, when there is a fire, let the Depart
ment have charge of it. | do not wish to con-
denim the actions Of our worthy citizens who
are always willing to assist at time of fire. who
are not members Of the Department, but do
protest against the idle, curiosity seekers, who
rush up and get in the way Of the tiremen,
thus retarding our action, and doing no good
whatever themselves. Let the Chief Engineer
see that ropes are stretched across the streets
leading to the fire, and none but fremen or
those who are willing to assist them be allow
ed to pass. Then we can work with great
deal more freedom and efficiency. The Penna
r. r. are under obligations for the valuable
services which have been rendered to them
from time to time by our Fire Department.
and have no doubt they feel so. The Chief
Engineer should see that there is a platform
car set apart by the r. r. Co. to be used ex-
pressly for conveying the necessary apparatus
along the line of the r. Road at any time that
it might be needed, SO that the machine might
be run directly on it without any trouble
whatever. and he should not allow any of the
apparatus 10 leave tbe-tewn until such ar
rangement Is made, and then allow none but
those who are equipped with uniform, and
badge to accompany the train. and If the Cos
are taken in rotation, there would be no hard
feeling as to who was entitled to go first. The
members Of the Department are willing to be
commanded by their Chief and his Assistants
but not by this or that one who may wish
to give orders. We have served long enough
as firemen to know our business, and all we
want is q fair chance-and we will be found
willing to do our duty when called upon, no
matter when or at what time.

GB- Capt. James Bird, of this city, met
with serious accident on Wednesday even
ing of last week. He, in company with his
wife and two friends, had been attending the
harvest home at Ringoes, and toward eleven
o'clock they started to return home in a car
riage. Shortly after leaving Ringoes, the
horses became manageable, owing to the
breaking of the tongue, one of them get
ting his leg over it. Capt. Bird was pulled
out of the carriage, and it passed over him.
badly bruising him on the hip and in other
parts of the body. The carriage was upset
and the occupants thrown out. Mrs Bird had
her left arm fractured, but the other occu-
pants were not injured. He and Mrs. Bird
were brought to their home by neighboring
farmers. The Captain has since been confined
to his bed by his injuries, and it will be some
time before he fully RECEIVERS.

On motion the report was received and the
recommendations adopted.
Mr.. Cooley stated that he had found that
certain taxes, amounting to $500, were due
from certain companies and corporations,
which they refused to pay, claiming them to
be illegal. He thought something ought to be
done with them--if legal they ought to be
collected, and if not they should be cancelled,
Mr.. Gregg moved that the question of
legality be referred to some lawyer other than
the Solictor-the present City Solicitor hav
ing been counsel last year against the city in
some of these cases, and would not care to
give an opinion.
Mr. Smith moved to amend by appointing a
Committee to employ counsel to attend
to the suit of Trimmer VS.. the City of Lam
bertville, and also to get his opinion in the
above cases. Adopted.
Messrs. Smith, Cooley and Gregg were APP
pointed said Committee.
The President of Council inquired respect
ing the ordinance passed at the recent meet
ing The Clerk stated that he had called on
the Mayor for it, and found that he had signed
it and given it to Isaac S. Roberts for pubica-
ton.
Mr.. Moore thought it strange proceeding
that the paper issued last should be furnished
first with the copy. He understood that there
had been other instances where documents
had been thus furnished.
Mr.. Smith thought the question was-who
is authorized to furnish the copy to the pa
pers-the Clerk or the Mayor? He thought
it was the Clerks duty. He moved that the
Clerk be authorized to get the copy of the
Mayor and furnish it to both papers for pub
LEGATION this week.
On motion, the duplicates were ordered to
be turned over to the Tax Receiver.
Mr.. Smith offered resolution, that the
Clerk be instructed to notify the Receiver Of
Taxes that he will be expected to collect the
entire duplicate as far as possible, and that he
will not be allowed to turn over uncollected
taxes to another Receiver. Adopted.
c. Arnett asked for remission of tax on
$500, paid by Geo Arnett and also by
another'person. No action.
Mr.. V. r. Matthews asked for deduction
VI htAco vi d bouu VI pJuVO, bdACd III LCid-
ware township
Mr.. Cooley offered resolution that the
Council has no right to remit taxes on account
of errors of the assessor or of failure to de-
duct Indebtedness, that being the province of
the Court of Appeals. Adopted.
Mr.. Brown stated that Delaware tsp. had
carried on suit against the county in respect
to school moneys withheld, and that Lambert
vile had been benefited by this suit, and that
Delaware tsp. thought that the city should
share some part of the expense of the suit,
amounting to $164.61.
Mr.. Smith thought it was the place of the
Board of School Trustees to allow the claim,
if proper. The School fund had been bene-
fitted, and they could afford to pay for it out
of the funds thus received.

No office of war records in the Union is as

"STEAMER. The Hibernia Fire Co., at a

ford, N. Y, was present and offered to sell
the Company secondhand second-class en-

for.
Another meeting is to be held tomorrow

We think that the company has made mis-
take in deciding to get this steamer. They
have been very efficient with their hand en-
CINE, and baye got to work just when them
services could do most good-at the beginning
of a fire. A few minutes delay in getting up
steam allows a fire to get under Roadway and
do damage. that might be preyepted. bys tie
prompt action Of Q hand engine, A new hopses
in the opinion of many ofsonr citizenss would
be a much more desirable thing for the Com
paDy. However, as they have decided to get
1t, we would suggest to the Company that II
possible they purchase lighter engine than
a second-class. They will find fourth-elass
engine far more serviccable.
