When Policeman Coffin went on duty

PIANO For PAUPRRS.
Doings of the Freeholders-cars Over
Clay Street Bridge.

Doings of the Freeholders-Cars Over
Clay Street Bridge.
The Board of Freeholders, last night :,
concluded that the only way to properly
clothe and feed the poor old pa1pers at
the Aims House was to buy them piano
at a cost of $3.50 The idea of this substi-
tute for fig leaves and Worth gowns
originated in the fertile minds of Free
holders Kimmerly, German and CoyIe-
They recommended the innovation. It
is but fair to presume that at a future
meeting the prisoners at the penitentiary
Will be furnished with church organs and
hymn books and the inmates at the
asylum with kettle drums.
Fire Commissioner Kern was present
when this action was taken and ne smil ed
as If pleasant recollections of the old
Board Of Works fitted through his mind.
Freeholder Coyle observed the Commits
sioner and asked Director Bruggemann
to invite him to a seat beside him. This
was done and the Commissioner per-
mitted the meeting to go on as is custom
ary.
The Legislative Committee reported
progress. Freeholder Ellis was not ex-
actly satisfied with this report, for, he
said, progress in one respect meant the
passage of bill increasing the salary of
wardens OF penitentiaries one thousand d
progress. The Freeholder warned his
associates TO beware of allowing this bill
to become law.
The North Bridge Committee again
recommended that the Essex County
Horse Railroad Company be granted per-
mission to lay double tracks over the
Clay street bridge at Harrison for an an
nual rental of 5000 for fiva years. Against
this proposition Mr.. Pfingsten made a
James Owen O'Connor speech. Then Free
holder Tierney had his say. He declared
that Mr.. Pfngsten's assertions that the
tax payers Of the county in general and
Harrison in particular did not want the
railroad were false He said the tax pay
ers had persuaded the company to make
the Improvement, aud the tax payer S
earnestly solicited the Freeholders to
grant the company the necessary permis-
sion. Nine members of the Board dis
agreed with Mr.. PtinRsten and voted for
the improvement.
This good work done, Freeholder Kim
merly began another. He asked that a
list of the children who had been inden-
tured for one year back be furnished, and
that the Freeholders make inquiries as to
their condition. The resolution was
unanimously adopted, and soon an inves-
tigation into the condition of the little
ones will be made.
The Board decided to advertise for a
stone crusher. and then adjourned until

with the conditions Of society.
ut follows that the single tax system
would merely convert the State in a
landlord. and the State would have to
lease IL out, and If it did not prove prof
table would have to take it for what it
was worth. The true progress of society
consists in the individual possession Of
lots OF land.
Referring to the silver question, the
speaker said that there were two weights,
the avoirdupois of 1000 grains aud the
Troy of $50 grains. The Government
recognizes the 1000 grains in che barter
OF all commodities, but the silver men
want their silver weighed in the $3.50
grains weight. Give the silver men all
the silver dollars they waut This is the
only way to defeat the nefarious idea OF
free coinage.

speaker; shat all societies, labor unions

The speaker said there were reasons
for cooperation in Great Britain which
do not exist here. Set uD q British CO.

this country and you will soon see the re-
suit.
In conclusion the speaker said that it is
true that as the rich in this country grow
richer the poor likewise grow richer, and
in a larger proportionate share. He de-
cried the militaryism of Europe and char
acterized 1t as great drawback to the
prosperity and progress of the masses.
President flemming, after compliment
ing and thanking Mr.. Atkinson for his
able address, asked il any person present
had any questions to ask.
A gentleman in the audience spoke in
favor of the agrarian system of Moses.
Mr.. John A. Walker asked three inter-
esting questions, which were in substan-
tiation of the main argument, aud ex-
Governor Bedle and Judge Dixon spoke
In commendation of Mr.. Atkinson's argu-
ments.
Mr.. Atkinson, in answer to Mr.
Walkers inquiry as to whether eight

United States, said that in answer he

The German Crop Failure.

BERLIN, June 16.-The declarations of
Chancellor Won Caprivi that the crops in
Germany are in better condition than is gen.
orally supposed have been contradicted By
reliable reports from several quarters of the
empire received by telegraph. These reports
are to the effect that in western Prussia 20
we're cold weather and night frosts during
the current week have ruined the crops. The
cold wave appears to have extended over
Silesia, Saxony. bavaria and Moravia- Tel
egrams from Vienna announce that there
has been . heavy fall of snow in the eastern
Alps, covering the plains of Styria. The
prospect that the weather will blast every
promise of favorable crops is already dis
turhing official circles.
1t is understood that Chancellor Won Cap
rivi, becoming dissatisfied with the reports
upon which he had based his assertions made
during the debate of the lower house of the
Prussian diet, has actually asked the Gus
toms officers and other functionaries to fur
nish fresh statements. In the meantime
memorials from Munich. Hamburg, Dresden
and other centers are reaching the chancel-
lerle, protesting the necessity of a reduction
of the tariff on grain. The session of the
landtag will be brought to close next week,
when the liberal mem bers of the body will
then carry the agitation into the country
dlstricts,
