Once on time certain Milville
Assessor met with the Board of county
Assessors in B-idgeton. He was ex.
tremely loud mouthed in his demand
to have the assessments in this city
raised by some hundreds of thous ands
OF dollars, and it was done. When he
got home to his own city he discovered
he had made an error in his own
assessments amounting to a hundred
Thousand dollars too much, and then
he became frantic to have his error
corrected, and he hastened to the
county seat to have the surplus assess
ment taken off, but it was not DONE
The time was passed and it was too
late, That was bad joke on the Mill
Vile Assessor.

SERIOUS HORSE KICK,
A HOstler Nearly Killed Last
Night at Il Livery Stable.

John Kobernick, hostler at Atkin-
sons West Jersey Hotel stables, was
seriously kicked by horse Thursday
night about11 o'clock. He went into the
stable and passed behind the horses,
when one of them let drive at him with
both feet, kicking him in the ribs.
Three of his ribs were broken by the
kick, and the man was seriously in
jured from the concussion to the lungs.
He suffered intensely through the
night, a doctor spending most of the
time with him, but got easier towards
morning.
The horse was a perfectly gentle
animal and was never known to kick
before. 1t must have been startled by
the sudden appearance of the man
behind it and kicked from fright. The
wonder is the man was not killad out
right.

Prosecutor Logue said that the as
sault was serious one, and Mr. Shus-
ter had not yet recovered from the
blow. The Prosecutor also said that
Simmons had but just been discharged
from Jail a day or two before the as
sault occurred.
Prisoners were brought in and plead
as follows:
Lewis Lecrois, stealing silver watch,
guilty.
Annie Mason, stealing dresses, guilty.
William Barber, stealing watch,
guilty.
William Mason, a lad of twelve,
breaking and entering, guilty.
Lydia Kennels, adultery with Chalk

Waterbury watch was taken from his
home, and about the same time Will

CANNING TOMATOES.
a
The Process Discovered BY q
JanttOr of Layfayette College.

a Few people hereabouts know that
the man who taught the world that
tomatoes could be preserved in cans,
and how to do it, was a janitor at LIS
fayette College. The Merchants Re.
view, of New York City, which has a
leugthy account Of 1t says:
"The name of Harrison w. Crosby
Is indissolubly linked with the history
of tomatoes, whether canned or made
into tomato sauce. MIR. Cosby can be
truly called the father of both, for as
early as 1S47 he first conceived the
Idea Of Theoretically canning tomatoes.
Mr.. Cosby, as may be imagined, had a
rather rough road to travel, but, with
the indomitable will and perseverance,
akin I o genius, he solved the problem
and fought his way to vic ory, until
today there is hardly man, woman
or child in these vast United States
but that enjoys what may be termed
the fruits of his labor.
II Mr. Cosby was the steward of La
fayette College, at Easton, Pa, in the
year 1S47, where he first discovered
the present method of canning toma-
toes; but it was not until the year fol-
iowing, and the commencement of
b1S49, that his invention attracted much
attentiop. It was in 1S4S that he sent,
with his compliments, case of canned
tomatoes to Queen Victoria, who
acknowledged their receipt in a letter
II to Mr.. Crosby.
"Of late years Mr.. Crosby has not
been identified with the canned toma-
ITO trade, but has since the year 1873
been engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness at Jamesburg, N. j. On the 22d
4 OF June last he attained his nth birth
day."

Not at Work.

A prominent oysterman of this city,
tolda PIoNEERre reporter Monday morn.
Ing that he had not yet put his boat
upon the cove for oyster catching. The
tirst of September he went down and
pulled few up and found them only
fair There is no money in Septem
per oysters, and he is just letting them
remain for month. His argument is
that while it costs just as much to run
q crew now, none of the boats could
do q fair Doath's work, and eonse.
.quently there would be no money TO
the owner or shipper.

Mrs. Stratton lifted from the table a

A STATE SECRET.
The Method OF Assessing Rail-
road Franchises Never
Told.

Kelly and Wismer are the guardians
of a State secret, and as it is the only
official secret the State, has the duty
OF keeping it becomes and important
one. Colonel Van Cleef is also in the
secret, but he don't allow it to inter-
fere with his happiness, or worry him
out of any sleep. 1t involves no less
important question than the method
which the State Board of Assessors
adoptep, il valuing the franchises of
the VARIOUS railroad compontes of this
State. Some method was adopted
shortly after the organization Of the
Board and it has never been revealed.
The consequence is that the railroads,
in the ligitation which followed, were
compelled to fight the amount of tax,
and had to criticise every method, in.
stead of making a combined attack on
the ONE adopted by the Board. 1t is
for this reason that the Board, besides
assessing the two hundred millions Of
railroad property, is also made the
custodian of the great secret of the
State. Ascertaining the value of a
railroad franchise is beset with diff
Guilty, but the Board was equal to the
task, and when the valuations were
system found that it owned a franchise
worth over eighteen millions of dollars;
the Philadelphia and Reading system,
which at that time included the Cen
tral, was surprised to find that it's fran
chise was worth $15, 1884, 200, and the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
nearly twelve millions. The compan-
les found that it was no light matter,
and the State received $251, 1000 as tax
on franchise alone.
OF this amount the Pennsylvania
paid 100000, the Philadelphia and
Reading $4,000, the Delaware, Lacka-
wana and Western 100000. The iti-
!. cation that commenced when these
| figures were announced has not yet
ended, but while the companies have
been fighting the franchise tax, none
of them have ever been able to learn
how it is estimated. At the com
mencement of every suit against the
Board demand was made to know how
it was arrived at, but the courts have
protected the Board, and the secret
has never been revealed.
In one of its reports the Board re-
ferred to the complaints of railroads
as to the method of ascertaining the
franchise, and in a tantalzing mood
referred to various ways of ascertain
ing the franchise. Said the Board:
''We might take the market value of
the stock and funded debt, deduct
therefrom the value of the tangible
property. Or we might take the gross
receipts or net earnings, and by math-
ematical calculation ascertain how
much of the profit is in excess of what
is realized from capital otherwise in
vested" The report went on to state
half dozen other methods by which
the franchise valuation might be made,
but declined to state whether they
| used one or context of them all.
The Board has discontinue d the publi
cation of the franchise valuations as q
separate item, but the companies
know it is there.-Jersey City Journal
