A PRETTY TAX MUDDLE.
Weehawken's Assessor Will Not
End 0rse the County Ratea-
bles Abstract.

There is a prospect of considerable trou-
BILE, this year, for the County Collector
and the State Comptroller. Assessor
John O'Donnell, of Weehawken, will be
the cause of it should the trouble arise.
He has refused positively to sign
the abstract of rateables for Hud-
son county, and his reason fo1
such action is that he insists on having
the property known as the King estate,
which was recently purchased by the
county and christened Highwood Park,
exempted from taxation. This property
as bought for 500. 200 by the county.
Sc veral weeks ago O'DonnelI presented
to the Board of Commissioners for the
Equalization of Taxes a letter from the
Town Clerk of Weehawken, which di.
rected O'Donnell to notify the Board that
Weehawken would not submit TO being
assessed for Highwood Park, which mad
then been purchased by the county and
accepted by the Park Commissioner.
O'Donnell said he knew the Park Com
missioners had accepted the property, for
they had placed two policemen under sal
airy on duty at the New Park. The
County Commissioners referred the mat
ter TO ex-senator w. D. Edwards.
acting counsel to the Board, and
he advised the Commissioners to
consider the property in question as part
of Weehawken's rateables and that State
school tax and county tax should be col
lected on it. In the opinion of counsel
the county had not acquired title to the
property and it was in the name of pri-
vate owners. The records at the Court
House in the Registers office showed
this.
Acting on this advice Assessor O'Don-
nell was directed to include Highland
Park in his Weekawken valuations and
on his returns to the County Commission
ers, which included the property in ques-
tion, the Board struck the State School
and County tax rate. Now O'Donnell re-
fuses to do so unless the 10000, assessed
valuations of Highwood Park is elimi-
mated.
The law requires that this abstract
must be signed by all the assessors, and
without such signatures the State Comp
troller and County Collector cannot, per-
haps. collect the taxes. The abstract of
rateables is whG iese two officials use
to sue on.

TERRY MCDONALD GETS A JOB.
His Friend, Commissioner Dugan, Makes
Him Inspector of the Fourth
Precinct Station House.

"Terry" Mcdonald, the only and
never dying Terry Terry, the ornament
of the Horseshoe Terry, the ex-leader Of
heelers; Terry, the ex- Democrat and
exRepublican; Terry, the ex-stool
pigeon of the Republican State
Committee. Terry the ex-Assem blylnan;
Terry, the ex-agent of Boss Sewell, Terry,
who dropped nickel IN the lamp post
letter box and told the lamp post to let
him out where he lived, was yesterday
appointed by his personal friend, e ON
missioner Eddie A. Dugan, TO be iuspec
tor of the work on the new Fourth pre-
cinct station house.
Terry, Crushed to EARTH" like Truth,
was bound to rise again, and now he is
about in his own happy manner exhibit
ing to all whom he meets the appoint
lnent his friend. Commissioner Eddie A.
among '.de gang'' have con-
graduated him, and pleasant though
fleeting, very fieetlng, visions have passed
before his many, oh so many, creditors
eyes, of the little memoranda Terry left
with them long ago. Terry Will get IS a
day from the city for this work, but Terry
is ambitious and sees millions in it.
His creditors remember Terry as finan-
cier and know he never gets left. They
think also with sadness of No. Engine
House and scores of other contracts Terry
has held, but think as they Will and figure
as hard as they can, not one single creditor
can remember when Terry lost any thing
and when his creditors made any thing.
This appointment by his personal
friend, Commissioner Eddie A. Dugan,
of the Board of Public Jobbery,
IS but one more indication
Of the outrageous treatment the
tax payers are receiving at the hands
of Cleyeland's Ring. IL is getting near
election and the gang think that men like
loud mouthed Terry Mcdonald will come
in handy.

Special to the Jersey Citg Ne,us.
BoRDENTowN, Sept. 4, 1s90.-Borden-
town was agitated late into the night
over the strife for the election of dele
gates to the Republican Congressional
and County Convention. The cleo
ton of delegates to the Assem-
bly, Convention was ignored, and
the only effort was to secure delegates to
the Congressional and County ConYen-
tions. This was accomplished with
out difficulty in the Second and Third
wards, but the First made a fight.
This diversion can easily be accounted
for on the grounds that the programme
was that all the Congressional delegates
must be in favor of Senator Carter. The
programme moved easily in the two
wards mentioned, but met with a hitch
in the First. and this hitch may be at
tributed to the various candidates for the
shrievalty, and for the disappointment in
the promises given out by Buchanan for
the Postofice, Mint, Navy Yard, Custom
House and other positions at his disposal
Knowing the disaffection In the party, it
was sought by the wise ones to overcome
it by the election of Carter delegates and
of such a character that they could by a
peculiar process known to the Sewell
managers at the proper time be
dumped into the Buchanan stream In
illustration of the fact, for several days
past the candidates for the shrievalty on
the part of the Republicans have been
making an earnest canvass to secure del
egates in their particular favor. Cavi-
Ieer came into town elegantly chaperoned,
dined by ex-senator Wick. visited few
of the heads and quietly sailed out to
conquer Chesterfield. Ex-Sheriff Emily,
followed with his suave manners and po-
lite boys, nominate your DESIRE" and to
speak outright, he made the impression
among the boys. EX-Sheriff Hays, ne
glecting his watermelon crop, turned his
attention to the Bordentown delegation
and last night their meetings were full of
vengeful spirits.

Pirates in the Water.

There was an exciting chase after river
pirates yesterday morning. One of the
pirates is supposed to have been drowned.
Two men boarded the coal barge Louis
and Herbert, which is lying at the Wilson
line dock, at the foot of Second street.
The men grabbed several tow lines,
and, tossing then into q rowboat near
by, started to row across the river. Cap
tain Mackel discovered the men and,
steam after the row boat. The men in
the small boat, seeing that they
would be oyertaken, jumped into
the river. One of them was
picked up and the other could not
be found. The prisoner was brought to
the Second street dock and the police au-
thorities notified, but before they arrived
the pirate broke away from his captors.
The man who escaped is known tothe po-
lice, and will probably be recaptured.

CY MULKEY'S COLT SINFAX.

He Beats q Field of Nine in Handicap
for All Ages.
Sinfax. Cy Mulkey's two-year old, which
with Tim Murphy won everything they
started for in the Montana and Oregon dir
cults, is az good if not a better colt than
ever. At Stockton, Gala. Saturday, the Sd
inst, Sinfax made mile and quarter
| race in the good time of 2:07la. Apropos
of this performance the Examiner, of San
Francisco. says:
The running of Sinfax in the all age han
dicap at mile and a quarter in 20711 on
Saturday is a performance worthy of more
than passing mention. He is a colt of the
highest class. When one looks at his breed
ing his running is not SO surprising; indeed.
it would be surprising if he did not run. He
is sired by Wildidle. dam Fostress. Fos-
| tress is by Foster, son of Lexington, out
of Plantetia, by Planet second dam La
Henderson by Lexington, third dam Kitty
Clark by imported Glencoe. On his dams
two sides, one of these being the Lexington
Glencloe cross. Wildidle is himself prod
uct on his dams side of the Lexington
Glencoe combination, he being by imported
Australian out of the great Idlewilde by
Lexington out of Florine by Glencoe.
In all of the American lines no cross has
been so successful rs the Lexington Glen
coe, and its influence is seen in the per-
formances of almost every good horse or
the turf to-day.
Sinfax is a royalty bred colt. He should
be great racehorse and great stockhorse.
Senator Rose never liked him, and after
the blood horse meeting last spring sold
him to Cy Mulkey. MuIEey took him
through the Oregon and Montan circuits
and he won with a regularity that was ex-
asperating to the other stables.
good many people we're inclined to
criticise Mulkey for starting two-year old
over that distance of ground Saturday. and
although he is a two year-old according to
rule. he is close to three III reality.
| Only once before has a mile and quar-
ter been run in 2:071a in California.
| The Jim Brown tilly Laura Gardner

track in thai time, Gardner winning by a

ways been said that the mare had a bit the
advantage of the match that day.
