is the best deceiver of batsmen that ever stepped
into the box. The idea of the directors is
to get as many available men on the list now
as possible in order that they might start out

dent Kramer from the head OF the American
Association and to put Mr.. Zach. Phelps in
his place. This gentleman has been power
in the Association for years, and is one OF the
best-posted baseballists in America. He
would make an efficient chief OF the Associa-
tion, but President Kramer, with no intention
OF vacating, frowned down the effort.

Final Game of the A. A. U. Series.

The G. A. G. and the Y. NJ. G, A. clubs
played the final game of the A. A. U. series
yesterday afternoon at National Park. The
game was very one-sided affair, as the score
shows. The Columbus had out their strongest
team of the season. Wright made his first
appearance as an amateur, having recently
been reinstated, and caught Leach's fine pitch
ing splendidly. The Kings on first and third
played their usual good game Springman
led the batting with triple, two doubles, and
a single. Sanford, for the Y. M. G. A., dis
tingufshed himself by some fine catches in
left field. Burdette played first base, and was
the life of the team. Johnson has a bone
broken in his right hand, and his catching, in
trying to shield himself, was very poor, having
five passed balls and making four fielding
errors. The score by innings:

TRANSIENT DEALERS.

Another Movement To BE Made Against
Them by the Tax Commissioners.
The Tax Commissioners started out this
morning to overhaul a number of tran
sient spectators who have located in
different parts of the city and are PALM
nR off on the public cheap lot OF stuff
not worth even the small amount paid
for 1t. The Commissioners have decided
to carry out 10 the letter the law which
permits them to tax such concerns for
goods IN their possession and for every
new article brought into the Stase during
their stay in any city.
For the past few months this city has
been overrun with flake" clotniers and
jewellers, and as a result resident mer-
chants have suffered seriously, as the tran
sient people have but little difficulty in
flooding the town with cheap articles.
The FAX Commissioners some time ago
drove from the city nu moer of cheap
clothiers who were unwilling or unable
to pay taxes upon the goods IN their pos
session. The articles sold by these tran
sient spectators are oftentiiDes stolen or
received in an illegitimate manner. After
flooding the city with their trash they
pack up and get ont.
The Tax Commissioners will assess
their property hereafter and compel them
to pay their taxes or close up the shoD,
even If the assistance Of the Police De-
partment is required. The Mayor sent a
letter to the Tax Commissioners this
morning on the subject.

An Early Morning Row I'm the Burns
Family ALI Arrested.

An Early Morning Row in the Burns
Family All Arrested.
A pitiful scene was that of the arraign-
ment in the First Police Court this morn
ing of William Burns OF No. $50 Railroad
avenue. accompanied by three i'll clad
children, for an assault on his wife
Agnes. The woman, barefooted and with
a long plaid shawl wrapped about her in
such a way as 10 form hood for her
head, stood before Justice Davisrattempt-
ing to hide a long scar across her cheek.
Burns was a comparatively respectfully
dressed individual, and does not look like
a hard drinker. His wife, though bear
ing some traces of dissipation, bears
also traces OF womaniy Deanty. Al hali-
past three o'clock this morning Patrol
man Nevins was approached by the
woman.
She was crying fran tIcally, and i'm
plored him to save her children from
their fathers hands. Her husband ap-
peared in pursuit of her, and the three
half-dressed children were running
around frightened and screaming t the
top of their voices. The entire party
was locked up. w hile both father and
mother had been drinking, the woman
did not appear to be DRINK.
Burns SAID in court this morning IL was
his wife who made the row; that sue
was drunk and he was sober; that she
staggered ont OF the house with the
Youngest child In her arms and fell head
long into the street. The oldest boy was
questioned and sided with his mother.
Burns told Justice Davis before the boy
was questioned that the hoy was a little
liar, and ne wanted his little girl 10 tell
tan story.
Police Justice Davis held Burns in $500
for the Grand Jury. Burns then desired
to make a complaint against bis wife for
b iting piece out OF his leg.

POLITICS IN NEWARK.
Opposition 10 the denomination of
Mayor Haynes.

NEWARK, Aug s, 1S9l.-Those Newark
Democrats who are supporting Mayor
Haynes for fifth term are beginning to
take fright at the opposition which the
proposed denomination has aroused. So
strong is this feeling of antagonism that
1t was deemed expedient to caucus the
matter with view to silencing the OBJ
jections. provided the opponents of Mr..
Haynes coulu be placated. Among those
who attended the council were Police
Superintendent Brown, County Physician
Wrightson, Senator Barrett. President OF
Common Council james A. Dempsey,
Comptroller James Connolly, George w.
Duryee, Public Works Commissioner
Thomas Harlan, Prosecutor Crane, Police
Justice Howard w. Hayes. ex-AldermaD
Ortman, Christopher Gisch, "Tonyo Bell
ingham, Aldermen John X. Harden,
BeDjaman Ulrich and Colonel E L.
Price.
After brief discussion of the matter
it was decided to adjourn the movement
until a fuller meeting could be had. sew
eral prominent local leaders being at the
seaside, Saratoga and various other sum-
mer resorts.
One OF the names suggested as that of
q compromise candidate was that OF
County Physician Wrighton. 1t is al so
for several months to form an fndepend-
ent organization throughout the city to
oppose Mnvor Haynes and condemn the
legislation OF last fall. Several informal
meetings OF the leaders In this movement
have been held In the State Bank Build
ing and plan is on foot
to perfect the organizations 1t is
said that Samuel Kalisch has plans for
such a movement drawn up. and that he
may 90 on the stump to express his dis
approval of the party methods. Clubs
of from seventy-fve to one hundred
voters are to be formed in each aud every
ward throughout the city. At present
the independent movement is strongest in
the Fourth. Sixth and Thirteenth wards.
With some OF these men Tyler Parmly
is favorile for Mayor. The Eleventh
Ward, where he resides, Is the centre OF
his boom. The principal aRitators In this
ward are ex-Alderman Timothy Dom
nelly. James Taaffe and John Cailan.
Mr.. Tyler is probably willing to accept
the nomination because he publicly stated
yesterday that in his opiniou something
must be done to save the Democratic
party from a thrashing. Ex-Chairman
Whitehead of the Executive COMMITTEES
is also afflicted with pessimism-
Others however take more hopeful
view or the situation and say that the
OBJ jections to Mr.. Haynes are mainly
made by gentlemen who are anxious 20
take his place.

THAT COUNTY LOAN.
Virtually Throwing Away From
Twelve TO Fifteen Hundred
Dollars.

The controversy In the Board Of Free
holders over the borrowing Of $50. 900 on a
temporary loan bond, TO run six months,
is causing considerable comment in po-
litical circles. Just why it was decided
to borrow the money no one knows, and
the Freeholders simply state that the
money is to be nssd to meet the current
expenses Of the county. During the past
two years no money has been borrowed
in this manner, but prior to that time as
bigh as $4,000 has been borrowed in an
ticipation Of taxes.
do y0u know why this money was
borroweds" asked Counsel McGrath yes
terday.
NO. do not"
"Do you think It was necessary to
oorrow such sum Of money at this
timer l asked.
well, have heard nothing of the
probability of the taxes not coming in
promptly but still the Freeholuers be-
lieved that they needed the money and
passed the necessary resolut ions. 1t was
undoubtedly done as a precautionary
measure"
''why did you object to having the
money borrowed at this timer"
Principally because I did not think it
was required" was the reply, "and IL II Is
not TO be nsed at once, a large amount
will virtually be thrown away for inter-
est. In years past the Freehoiders have
borrowed in this manner as high as
Sl50,O00 in anticipation Of the collection
Of taxes 1t is perfectly legal proceed
ing but then the money was required.
Another notable fact was thar taxes were
not paid so promptly as they are at
present. Since / have been counsel TO
this Board taxes have been paid in pretty
promptly
II the money is borrowed at PER cent
interest the county loses 81 500. and at ~
per cent 81, 125. The appropriations OF the
Board OF Freeholders have not as yet
been exhausted, and for this reason their
action in borrowing money is premature.
One OF the members of the Board stated
last evening that the money really was
not required at present, but the other
members in caucus thought 1t best to be
on the safe side and have funds in hand.
