There is more or less ignorance among
the Assessors, but the most remarkable
Assessor in New Jersey is Assessor Rid
die. of Atlantic City. He has better
ideas of the tax question than anybody
the Commission has yet met. lie
raised the valuation in At
lantic from s7.O31, ,479 to SIS. 337, 40,
which is an increase of over 100 per cent
When the Board sat there the appeals
were numerous, but Mr.. Riddle routed
all who claimed that the assessment ex-
ceeded the value of the property by
declaring in the presence of the Commits
sion that he would purchase every prop
erty named in the appeal for the amount
of the assessment. This non
plused them all and ended the
kicking bee. An idea of the funny
quesUlops that come to the notice of the
Board can be CLEANED from this specimen

Shelly lives in Sparta and milks the cows
in Sparta, but the cows pasture in two
townships, in which township shall the
cows be taxed?' All such questions are
always answered in red ink.

SUDDEN DEATH.


A Well-Known Hoboken Man Succumbs
to Drink.
Thomas Land, one of the best known
characters in Hoboken. was found dead
on the floor of his apartments. No. 1879
Washington street, this morning. The
body was removed to Parslow's morgue.
1t is thought that death was due to
alcoholism. Deceased was ffty-6ve years
old. Some years ago he conducted a
restaurant on First street. Hoboken. AT
that time he was living with his wife and
three sons. He made money fast.
Mrs. Laud was of an exceedingly lively
disposition. and there were frequent
ouarrels between the couple. Finally
Mrs. Laud left home. Two of the sons
sided with their mother, ana the other
sou, George. handsome fellow, clung TO
his father. Shortly after Laud opened a
restaurant at No. 199 Washington street
He did a thriving business. but his
domestic troubles drove him TO drink.
He drank so hard that he neglected his
business and finally his remaining
son left him. For the past month Laud
has been continuously drunk and on sew

previous to the publication OF his returns,
had given OFT an estimate in which the
population OF the city was placed at
about LOO, ,000-a vers close guess.
If Mr.. Murray's estimate was based
upon figures collected by his assistants it
follows that the New York re-
turns were cut down more than
100000 in the Washington Bureau,

Administra' ion which has just rewarded
Mr.. Murray's efficiency" He has never
offered satisfactory explanation for the

teemed fellow citizen, Dominicus Veg
man. His long residence in this county,
his business qualifications, his interest in
public affairs, his active particip patton in
all projects intended to advance the well

integrity acquired for him an extensive
personal acquaintance and secured their
warm friendship and admiration.
His loyalty to the Republican party and
Republican principles. his high apprecia-

endeared him to this committee and to
all who believe in Republican success.
To his bereaved family we tender our
sincere sympathy.

Association Although several dozen
members of the club were in the big club

broke through the roof.
An alarm was sent out, but by the time
the firemen arrived the house was beyond
saving. The house was frame, had been
exposed for years to the elements, and
burned like tinder. The property burned
