The street cleaning item is one about
which there has been infinite talk, and
yet there is not one which more clearly
shows the bona fide desire OF the Board
OF Finance 10 advance step by step to-
wards sound system. Last wear, prac-
tically $4,000 was allowed for this pur-
pose 1t proved to be just $4,000 too
little and that sum had to be raised on
temporary loan bonds. This time the
Board has to meet these bonds, as will
presently appear. It has besides in
creased the appropriation SO far thai if
the work costs the same amount in 1s91-92
as in 1S9O-9l the deficiency In the account
will be less than half the present one.
Two reasons are given for not raising the
appropriation TO SIS, 600 and so preventing
any deficiency whatever. One reason is
that the money was wanted so badly
elsewhere. while that great responsibility
of keeping the tax levy down still Inn
pends over the appropriation makers.
The other is that by making an unstable
item, in which competition for contracts
is an important element. as low as pos
sibie, the probability of an economical
expenditure of the money is greatly in
creased In other words. getting an ap-
preparation of $4,000. the Street ana

that while $500 is transferred to the

allowance. 1T must speak for itself. The
Board put in an estimate for printing and
stationery for the District Courts, b ut
the Finance Board very properly deter
mined that this should be provided for
out of the court fees.
There remains the election item to con-
sider. This shows an increase Of SIS. 5.0o0.
1t was well known that last years appro-
pria;ion was far too low The deficiency
was $4,000. which Is provided for in the
Board Of Finance estimates this year, as
will be explained in due course. This
makes the total expense of the last years
elections $4,000. 1t is estimated that
hereafter there should be a considerable
saving. The original outlay for the con-
strnction of the booths. railings and other
apparatus OF the Ballot Reform law
will not have to be repeated. The Board
of Finance. however. appropriates $685..
600. Under a recent ruling Of the Supreme
Court, the Board of Freeholders will
be compelled to pay large proportion of
the cost. It is stated on tr ustworthy
authority that the county will have to pay
Jersey CITY about 5000 on account of
election expenses during the fiscal year
under consideration. This would make a
tot al Of S35, 600 available for election pur-
poses In this city during the year. This
is. IL anything. too much. 1t assured ly
leaves no prospect whatev er Of deficit
It will therefore be observed that this
present budget not only wipes out last
years election deficit-as will be shown
later--but fully provides against it's rep

Combination.

George Mittwock. aged sixteen years,
came to this county from Germany two

Muldoon's Athletic comDina tion. and
was billed as the champion light weight
of the world" Since parting with the
show he has been wrestling with cock
tails and fzzes and occasionally win
bum who make efforts to obtain free
drinks.
Billy wanted a Iivelier subject to
opera te upon, and be apparently found a
grand opportunity yesterday and took it.
His opponent weighed less than a hun
dred pounds and was ignorant OF the
science OF wrestling or boxing, but it
made no difference 10 BILLY" YeuDg
Mittock is today Is nursing badly
bruised face and sore limbs from the
brutal beating which was administered
to him by the wrestler.
4 In the room where Nit woch slept were
stored many boxes of cigars. The youth
opened one OF the boxes yesterday and
took therefrom five cigars, which he
placed on chair and W went downstairs TO
do some work. Klodt happened TO enter
the lads room and saw the cigars on a
chair. This was golden opportunity, he
thought. 10 prove his wrestling powers.
He demanded an explanation fro m
George in regard to the cigars. and none
forthcoming, he called time"
A straight blow from the shoulder
caught the boy in the face and he went
down like log. He was stunned for a
few seconds. and upon arising was noored
again IN the same manner. He then
caught hold of the wrestier's legs and
begged Of him net to strike. BILLY" evil
dently thought the hold meant that the
youth wanted TO have n wrestling bout.
He Immediately took hold af the boy and
threw him heavily.
George finally ranged to get into the
street. Charles Ellenburg, of No. SO
Madison street, saw the condition Of the
lads face which was swollen to an m
natural size. and he assisted him to the
police station.
Recorder McDonough issued warrant
for the bartender's arrest. and Detective
Nelson served it last night. Klodt was
bailed later by Herman Luettieh in the
sum OF 500 to await the action OF the

Special to The Jersey City Neics
NEWARK, July 20. 1s9i.-The bold thief
who attempted to ROD the Office Of the
New Jersey Oil WORKS has made good his
escape. He got too much start Of the
police, who were not promptly notified Of
the affair, and is thought to have escaped
to New York by one Of the many routes
open 10 him.
A man reported late last evening at Po-
lice Headquarters that the robber was
secreted in barn on the meadows, and it
was surrounded at midnight and search
ed. There was man found asleep in the
hay loft, but he turned out 10 be tramp,
and bore no resemblance to the man
wanted.
There is another slight clue that the
police will not reveal at present. and two
detectives are now out wor king on It. The
Chief of Police says that If the fact OF co
attempted robbery had been promptly
telephoned from the oil comDany's office
to the Third precinct station house, and
the direction he took mentioned the man
would almost certainly have been caught
as he escaped along route that passed
closely to the station house. and there
was plenty of time TO have had police
men out waiting for him.
The police were not notified Tor about
two hours after the man escaped.

SHERIFF. NIcRUL's PRISONER.
The Cape May Mystery Looks Like
Mares Nest.

sreciaI to the JERSEY CITY Nesss.
CAPE MAY, July 20, 1seL-It looks as
though Sheriff Nichols Of this county
would have fine suit for damages on his
hands for false imprisonment. A dis
patch FROM New York says that Captain
Mclaughlin, of the Head quarters Detec-
tive Bureau on Mulberry street, said this
morninQ THAI he knew nothing whatever
about the arrest of the man Broaning
whom the Sheriff has in custody, nor
about the alleged theft of S150.00O.
Sheriff Nichols says his prisoner has
been travelling under the alias Of Broan-
ing, and that he does not know the mans
true name.
Dreaming answers the description of
man for whom the Sheriff was requested
to keep watch. but further than that
nothing is known of the case at Cape
May.
The man u nder arrest was sum mmering
at Avalon. a all seaside resort twelve
miles from Cape May. He was register
ed at Hotel Piedmont there as hailing
from this city.
Some of his friends at Cape May are al
legged to have offered Sheriff Nichols
big sum Of money to release the prisoner,
and It is suspected that these persons
were concerned in the theft as re ceivers
of stolen money. A watch has been Kept
upon their movements.
