The amounts allowed foot up $7s,5l0,
which deducted from the Sl60,504 70
shown above leaves S7S0S4 70 for the
Board OF Public Works and the rcdemp-
ton Of certain bonds,
The committee did not 90 any further
last night, but adjourned In order 10
look up this matter Of bonds and asCer-
tain just what appropriations will have
to be made. 1t is not thought that over
81, 900 will be necessary In addition to
what the Gus Trustees aud Water Board
pay. Allowing 5000 for that purpose,
there would be $73,OS4 75 left for the
Board OF Public Works. OF that amount
about $1,000 Is derived from the 10
cent paving levy and Is known as the 10
cent levy fund. II Is available only for
new paving and sewers where there have
never been any before.
As thus roughly blocked out the funds
that will be at the disposal OF the Board
OF Public Works will be as follows:
Ten cent levy 900 %
contingent lunu..,, S5'dS1 "
Appropriation fund..m."r...,."..".w @,OSl 10
sO6,6iO %
The Boards estimate calls for some.
thing over 100000. The Boards con.
tingent fund Is mostly used in keeping
the streets clean and In making needed
repairs. Allowing all OF that fund to be
used for that purpose there would DO
left to the Board the sum OF $73,0S4 rs
for new paving and sewers.
When 1t comes to dividing up that
amount there will be a monkey and par.
rot sort Of time both in the committee
and In Council.

New YoRIi, Dec. 4.-Ihe captain of

which arrived here yesterday from
Buenos Ayres, reports having seen an ap.
pRiling sight on Monday off the Delaware
BreaRwater. The lockout diacerned

huge ref. bobbing up aud down with
each motion OF the waves. AS the bark
approached the derelict two hnmnn
bodies wsre indistinotly made out lying
ont at iull length leshed 10 the logs.
Both were men in sailors costume. At 4
diatance of probably three yards from
thu raft the body Of q midileaged
woman, encircled by life. praserver,
was being tossed about BY the rough sea.
The woman's lower limbs were even
with the water and her head and face
were being continually washed by the
waves.
The captain OF the hark ordered his
vessel around TO tho leeward OF the raft,
and tackled about for over an hour en-
deRvofing to discover aume means OF
identifying the derelict. There was no
name disoernible, however, aud tiually
the vessel went on her course, leaving
the bodies 10 the mercy of the waves
Upon tho Maritime Exchange the opin-
ion prevailed that the raft and bodies

planned, some marka OF Identification
might have been found on the clothing
Of the floating bodies.
