BAYONYYs CHIEF OF POLICE.
why the Temperance Folks Wanted 60 Have
Hin Removed-Drsw Poker.

On Monday night George Is. Whitney
Chief Of Police Of tho city OF Bayonnc. N. j..
rendered his resignation TO Mayor Henry
Meigs stipulating that II should not take effect
until Jan. 1. On the following evening tho
Common Council met and confirmed tho NOM
ination OF Hiram Van Busklrk in his place.
FIX Chief Whitney was with Thomas Whit
man. who mysteriously disappeared on tho
morning Of Nov. 2. Just before he was killed. or
WIS accidentally drowned. or ran away. and ~
they had played draw poker together all night
some Of the people Of Bayonne were dsplensed
Then thoro WAS trouble about the enforce
mrnt Of tho Liquor law. Some timo AGO the
Mayor ordered that the forty three barrooms Of
the city should be CLOSED on Sundays. Tho chief
pntrolled the town Sunday after Sunday and
Counsellor Allen emf Dyed two detectives. who
caught the forty three rum sellers. and caused
their arrest.
It happened that Thomas Scanlon. one Of the
him beer on u Sunday. Now Anthem has
brother IA like to him ~ two peas. who did tho
sclling. Anthem himself being in New York.
This gave the liquor men n chance TO bring
Scanlon UP on n charge Ot perjury. ana no ro-
signed his reformatory mission.
Meanwhile tho temperance people were in
ccnscd ngainst the Chief for not shutting up
silc and back doors, and boltin the front gnt"s
OF all the liquor dealers. and tho Mayor was re-
uucStcd to remove him.
Ex-Chicf Whitney says tho mission Of tho
polite of n great city Ia not to pry into back
doors and that 900 out Of the 200 voters Of
the CITY Of Bayonnc are In favor Of his r"lon-
ton. Unfortunately. no time was allowed to
cover the territorial limits Of tho city. which IL
four miles long Ia get up petitions. and thus
tho public voice WA not heard.

profcsscd TO havo expended for her funeral. for
the doctors bills. and for counsel fees the total
Of the bills being $50 more than he received
from the cstntc. H. filed his account with Sur
rogatc Daley. Objection was ma,lo 10 its being
passed. on the ground that it was the duty Of
tho husband TO pay thoso expenses out OF his

are 80 cash lent to Patrick McCue: 1850 for
the burial Of n child OF Patrick McCuc; $50 for a
physican's bill making 1890 which should
BE- excluded from the account The other items

Ing the burial were usual. and the charges for
these nre sustained The question left to be de-
cided by the Surrogate was IA to the right Of the
husband to charge his WHO'S estate with the
expenses OF her burial The decision Is that
the husband was not Hhsoved by his wife's
death from his obligations to bury her. and that
the expense Of that act Is chargcable TO him,
A decree WAS entered rejecting and disallow-
ing this charge and ordering the admir- istrator
