What is Said In Explanation of Their Pay
ment.

What is Said In Explanation of Their Pay
ment.
"Well," said Corporation Counsel Blair
to reporter, in explanation of the Board
of Finances approval of the much-disputed
Board of Works pay rolls. "there was this
about. them the foremen of the several
gangs whose names appear on the pay-rolls
have once certified to the correctness of
the bills, and, of course, they would not
certify now that they are false, even if they
are false. The men, too, would stand by
one another, and in the event of the city
being sued by them, each would sustain the
claim of the other. How is the city to get
proof that the work for which charges are
made had not been done? I have been
satisfied all along that because of the diff
culties that surround an attempt to prove
the pay-rolls false or irregular, the city
would eventually have to pay"
This view may have also influenced the
Board of Finance. The Finance Commits
sioners, however, say that they have
brought the Board of Works to terms, as to
future pay-rolls. The money to meet the
pay-rolls comes from the water account,
which is kept by the Board of Works, and
not within the control of the Finance
Board. At the same time, expenditures
even out of that have to be approved by
the Board of Finance. "The water service
is the richest property the city has, 4" said
one of the members of the Board of
Finance, "and its management affords to
men who are not disposed to be square an
all the opportunity they could want for
Irregularities. If the city owed me the
millions it owes, and wanted to settle,
would say to it, Give me the water works,
and I'll call it square,"

The Jersey Blues Defeat the Hobokens
Two to One on the Latters Own Groand.
An exceedingly large number of people
gathered at the Hoboken ball grounds TO
witness the much talked Of game Of ball
between the Jersey Blues and the Hobo
kens, The game was poor throughout, both
the batting and the fielding of both clubs
being uncommonly bad, as neither team
earned run.
The Blues went to the bat first and
gained their first run through wild throw
of Bells, while bad muf of DaVin's gave
them their second, and they secured their
third and fourth runs Iy two muffs Of
Lewis and tumble of Davins The Ho-
bokens made only two runs, the first by a
wild throw of Hutchins. and the second by
safe hit and muff by Hutchins- During
the game Roche, who is sEgft-stop of the
Blues, made very pretty double play,
putting man out on first and second base.
The following is the score;

Begging Funds to Defend Flood-To Try
TO prove am Alibi.
During the past week, since Joseph
Flood has been in Jail on the charge of
numbering Thomas Sexton, friends have
been about trying to raise money to pay
for legal services. A number of people on
the Hill have contributed, more through
sympathy for his family than for any par
ticular love for the unfortunate man, and
it is likely that reasonable amount will be
raised At the inquest, which will be com
menced on Monday night the defence will
try to prove an alibi This will be partly
offset by the evidence of police officers, wfo
saw Flood going toward Newark avenue
after Sexton, and by two new witnesses
who wereBecured yesterday.
There ia naturally q feeling of horror in
contemplating the stabbing, but citizens of
the Heights are commencing to complain
of the establishments which practically en-
courage encounters between young men.
Near where the stabbing took place is q
saloon where doubtful characters of both
sexes congregate, and which is well known
to the Pc ice. Dances are held until late in
the night--cr early in the morning and
many of the participants, while young, are
remarkably vicious. Within block there

races. Accordingly at three o'clock
about thirty lady and gentlemen friends
of the contestants began TO assemble
at the Club House. The races were
not called till nearly five o'clock-the
Juniors race being called first. The con-
testants were Leon Albeit Jr., and r. D.
Earle Jr. Both the young men were in

after each had pulled half-dozen strokes,

Mary McCloskey, of No. 172 Grove street,

woman from South Fifth avenue, New

How Collector Anderson Admits Deficiency,
bur Growis Because He was Bounced.
The differences between West Hoboken
and Collector or ex-ColIector Anderson con-
tinue to be the chief topic of discussion in
that region. Anew Collector, Mr.. Goblin,
was chosen at the last meetingof the Town
COMMITTEES, and he has qualified BY filing
bonds Collector Anderson claims. how
ever, that he is still the lawful Collector.
Fhe town authorities insist that he is a
defaulter. He admits himself that he Is
indebted to the town. The only difference
between himself and the town people. as
Tar as the deficiency goes, is a differ
ence IN figures. He says it is about So, 900.
The expert examination of his books re-
vealed deficiency of $50 900. The Town
COMMITTEES allowed him enough credits of
one KIND and another to reduce it to $780,
Wy, and now they have commenced suit
against him and his bondsmen to re-
cover $4,000. Here are figures enough
to suit almost any view and the
West Hoboken people have a wide
range for choice. They can believe il is
$4,000, or $40, 900, or $26. 600, or SO, 900
Just as they PLEASE. Anderson's friends
claim, however, that little defalcation of
1900 does not justify his removal. They
deny IN fact that the Town Committee had
any legal right to remove him for it that
1t is rather basis for a civil action to re.
cover than legal occasion for the ssbounce"
they have administered. They say, too, that
even IT the Council had the right to remove
him, they did it irregularly, and therefore
tits as though no removal had ever been
made. The removal is claimed to have
been accomplished on mere motion-his
friends say that q resolution would have
been the proper form-that the motion
was declared adopted on viUG voce vote.
when his friends insist that the ayes and
nays should have been taken; and that the
motionwas not adopted as a matter of fact,
because only two of the five possible votes
IN the ComTittee supported it. At the
same time Mr.. Anderson pretends to be
able to make good whatever the shortage
may be. Satisfying me,H he practically
says, that ] owe you more than 1000
and will pay It," Those who are inimical
to the ex-Collector think he would stand
better in public estimation, and in the
Courts, TOO, if he were to pay over the
$1,000 he admits to be due, and then 90
into Court with clean hands and show, if
he can, thaS he owes no more Meanwhile
all kinds of schemes are talked of for a
settlement Of the difficulty, and the gem
eral anticipation in West Hobokep IL that
new examination of the books will be
made for the purposes of the coming trial.

young men in the church had put him
down for what they called So thorough

opportunity to wag about him. He had
been in st. Bridget's parish for about three
years. It is said that his allowance was
$50 or $50 per month. He may have saved
part of this, and as he is said to have had
considerable money with him when at
Easton, it is probable thai be did save some
Of it. But what he has cannot last long,
and the members of bis parish are wonder

livelihood when that is gone. If he expects
