Tax Collector Stewart comes in for his

office seemed to see him. AT last MIR.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS FIRST.

Then Libraries, Station Houses and City
HaIIs-Playerounds Before Piazzns.
To the Editor of the jersey C,tv Nercs:-
DEAR SIR-According to the report OF
President Edelstein and the Principals OF
the schools. the school buildings are in a
very bad way. and as usual repairs are
asked for and no doubt are wanting, and
In a most general manne But what
good is throwing away the peoples
money in repairing such a rookery as No.
/ School? President Edelstein says
truthfullv that lit is unfit for human
habitation." Then, instead of repairing
it, it should be RACED to the ground and
that at once. Great eXertion is made,
and with no unnecessary delay, to build
a costly City Hall, Police Stations and
an ornate High School, but not one of
those is needed more urgently than
that those dilapidated school buildings
be replaced by structures that will
give health as well as learning TO the
children who attend them.
An appropriation that would give the
children in our schools well ventilated
class rooms should take precedence of
the Public Library. Plazzas in front of
our public buildings should come after
our schools have play grounds. The
present state of affairs, as President Edel-
stein says, should not exist in anv civil
ized community.
The citizens and taxpayers are always
in accord with every needed improve
ment. Such a report of the condition of
the schools is a disgrace to our city.

POLICEMEN DISMISSED.
Drunkenness Will Not be TOler-
ated-Patrol Signal System.

Nine delinquent policemen faced the
austere c-ountenances of President Feeney
and his colleagues, Commissioners Kelly
M Van Keuren, at yesterday afternoons
meeting of the Police Board. The offenses
for which the majority of them were
tried were ordinary. But Chancemen
| Tobias, Holmes and John O'Rourke of
the Third precinct, had transgressed a
law which the Commissioners a OF
late rigidly enforced. President Feeney
has, ever since his connection with the
Board. continually warned offenders
what they might expect when brought
before the Board more than
Recently several examples have been
made of these offenders by dismissal from
the department. Holmes and O'Rourke
were yesterday added to the list.
O'Rourke was caught in a saloon while
he was supposed to be on duty.
Detective Dalton WAS too i'll to appear
for examination with reference to Hyer's
escape.
THE PENALTY IMPOSED.
The other delinquents were arraigned
for either failing to properly patrol their
posts or to report on time for duty, and
their punishment was as folIows:-Patrol-
man James Coyne of First precinct, five
buJo q SARh eS6
man James Kielt, First precinct, five
days pay-two separate charges: Chance
man James Fallon, First precinct, two

precinct, five days pay; Chanceman
Nicholas Clements. Seventh precinct,
three days pay.
The resignation of Patrolman James
Newcomb. of the Seventh precinct, whose
hilarious exploits have been told in 1HE

accented.
POLICE PATROL SIGNALS.
The Gamewell Fire aud Police Tele-
graph Company, which has the contract
of fitting up the central stations, erecting
the lines and placing the signal boxes for
the new police patrol system recently
adopted, asked for thirty six Blake trans
mitters, and thirty-six Bell telephones
for use in the small boxes. and three long
distance transmitters and three Bell tele-
phones for use at the central offices of
the First, Second mi Fourth precinct
station houses. The company claims
that the long distance transmitters will
give better satisfaction in the central
Offices.
The Commissioners awarded the con-
tract for rental OF the telephones and
transmitters to the New YORK and New
Jersey Telephone Company at the rate
OF $40 a year for each transmitter. These
cannot be purchased outright.
The Hudson County Bottlers' Associa-
ton asked the Commissioners to confer
special police powers upon William
Thompson. The communication was
referred to the Superintendent with
power. The application of John B.
Sheen of the Sixth Aldermanic District
for a position on the force was referred
to Committee on Salaries and Appoint
meutg.

The Comic Side of Murder,

Murder has been considered as a
fine art by De Quincy, but it remains
for some bold humorist to present the
comic side of the business. Perhaps
there isn't humor enough in the situa-
ton, as murders generally go, to war;
rant the attempt, but certainly
there is something extremely ludi-
crous in the application of murderer
Harriott, recently convicted at Free
hold, of brutally killing Mrs. Leonard,
for a new trial. Harriott went on
the stand and told how he killed the
woman. The murder was deliberate.
premeditated, bestial. Now, why
should this man have a new trialf
Can there be any new evidence?
Well, perhaps, the defence may put
Harriott on the stand a second time
to contradict himself and deny his
first evidence. This, Of course, would
be an insane effort to create a doubt
OF which the prisoner could reap the
benefit, but it cannot be any more
crazy than will be any other effort
counsel may make to prove that their
client is crazy.
There was altogether too much
method in the alleged insanity of

aged 16 years, of Bsrgaline avenue and
Main street, Union Hill, for OBTAINING the
character OF Laura Rose. comDlainant's
daughter, a pretty girl of seventeen
years. The evidence was too shady to

and said he was prepared to substan-

Miss Rose, in her own defense, made
affidavit that chlemm's stories were false

sent the case to the Grand Jury.
Young Schlemm is u son of the Mayor
of Union Hill, and he and Miss Rose were
