SIMPLY SHAMEFUL.
WanSer's Veto of the Poor Laborers'
Pay Illegal and Outrageous.

The refEs Il of Mayor Wanser to sign
the payrolis of the nine men employed as
sewer cleaners led them all yesterday to
refuse to do another stroke of work in the
sewers until the city pays what is honestly
due them. AS announced in yesterdays
JERSEY CITY NEWS. the Mayor was waited
upon by q committee OF tho men and
notified of their intentions. The two men
composing the committee were Patrick
Moran and Edward Kelly. 1t is under
stood that the Mayor admitted to them
that he was personally cognizant of the
fact that the sewer cleaners had per-
formed their work. He held, however,
that he had no right to sign the pay war
rants because the men had not been ap-
pointed by resolution, and he held that
they should have been.
EX-President Somers, of the Street and
Water Board, denies 5haS the appoint
ment of such men by resolution is made
obligatory under the new charter. John
S. Daley, foreman of the gang, alone was
appointed by resolution. His pay war
rant was signed.
From what could learn last night in a
talk with several of the men thus en-
ployed, it would seem that the refusal TO
pay them their wages without forcing
them to the eXrense OF contesting The

city's record. Prior to the adoption of
the new charter the work of cleaning the
sewers had been given out by contract,
and the work was seldom done in salts
factory manner. The new Street
ard Water Board determined upon
supervising the work Itself. There
has at no time been more than
ten men employed. nor less than nine.
The men receive So. so for a days work,
and double ray for night work. They
have to be ready OF all times to go on
duty. They have no other means of earn
ing livelihood. Their work is loath-
some. They work mostly down in the
filthy sewers and often are Obliged to
crawl through them like snakes. They
are constantly exposed to the dangers of
inhaling sewer gas. Scarcely a day
passes that one or more of them is not
prostrated. They have to provide them.
serves with rubber coats and boots.
For two months and half these men
have received no wages for work honestly
performed. They say their families are
suffering and they must look elsewhere
for means of support. They are perfectly
willing that their work should be in
spected.

Insurance Men Put Up
Rates and Put Out
Fourth of July
Enthusiasm.
CRACKERS AND ToRPEDos ONLY.
Limited Food for Small Boy
Patriotism-A Far-keach-
ing Tax.

The brilliant display of fireworks
which heretofore has adorned the even
ing skies of the Fourth of July will be
much subdued il not altogether dispensed
with this year. The recent action of the
insurance companies in racking an adj
ditional fifty cents per hundred dollars
upon stock and building for every thirty
days such fre-moths as Roman candles,
skyrockets, pinwheels and the like are
sold, practically prohibits the sale Of
these articles IN Jersey City, and only q
few firms in New York do such tremen-
dous business in this line Of goods as to
enable them to pay the enormous insur-
ance tax and yet retain margin of
profit.
The small boy, however.,ma still revel
in the glorious sound of exploding the
ire and cannon crackers on the great an-
niversary and his little sister may help
him to make noise with the tame ex-
plosion Of the pavement torpedo. The
fire crackers, torpedoes, gun powder or
paper caps.
HEAVY LOSSES THE CAUSE.
But the insurance men have decided
practically that young Americas national
enthusiasm shall not assist the stars
and planets In decorating the heavens on
Fourth Of July night.
Heretofore, the law allowed the sale Of
candles, rockets and other STYLES OF
chemical fireworks, but thirty daye Ia the
year-from June 10 to July 10. During
this period the local dealers in such
articles have reaped considerable profit
therefrom, and the new exaction OF the
insurance men is considered some.
what of an burden. The insur-
ance men,. however claim that 80
many fires have occurred from explosions
OF such articles that the tax is an absolute
necessity to protect them from losses.
They insist upon the tax OF fifty cents on
each hundred dollars, not alone upon the
stock and fixtures of the one firm hand
ling such goods, but the firm must also
pay the same amount npon the. .inaurance
of the building and upon the furnitu1e or
stock of all the tenants of the building.
MR. HANsEN's FIX,
Mr.. L 7. Hansen, for insta9ce, has his
stock of station cry in one of the Weldon
building stores insuted for 5000. Tho
extra tax on his stock alone would be $40.
But the building Is insured for sSo, COO, and
to sell rockets, candles. ETC., he would be-
taxed $400 more on Che building INSURANCE.
1t would take him week almost to as
certain the amount of insured property
of the other tenants, and he cannot at
present figure upon the amount of tax he
would have to pay.
Some of the business occupants of shan
ties and small stores could possibly take
advantage Of the predicament their
wealthier business rivals are thus placed
in, but it is too late now to secure the nac-
essary permit, and from Investigation on
the part of the dealers who are knocked
ont, it does not appear that anyone caught
on to the idea.

MARBLE In NEW JERSEY.
Important Discovery in Sussex County

which VIII Open Now Industry.
Special to the Jersey Gin News.
STANHoPE, juno IS, 1896. w. King
who owns q large tract of property in
Sussex county about three miles from
here, made an important discovery on his
ground on Monday that will yield him a
fortune and at the same time open up
new industry in New Jersey,
About a year ago Mr.. King was pros
pecting for zinc aud found a trail of
marble. He thought little of it at the
time, but on Mouday, while making an
excavation, he discovered IL solid ledge of
the same stone, and he believed that it
was solid marble. He procured the
services of a mineralogisG, who examined
the ground aud discovered o ledge of
marble resembling the Knoxville marble,
over 300 feet long and so feet in width.
He took specimens of the marble to eX-
pert stone workers. who pronounced it to
be valuable.
The stone is very hard and is suscept-
ible of high polish 1t is dark in color,
IL very prettily mottled ana is of a kind
greatly in demand for wainscoting, fancy
table tops and monuments.
The ledge is on line with the Franklin
and Passaic ziuc deposits, and although
the ledge is free frcm iron or zinc ore, the
mineralogist predicted that rich deposits
of white limestone and zinc will be found
under the ledge of marble.
This is the first deposit of marble ever
found in New Jersey, with the exception
of few traces discovered on Schooley's
Mountain some years ago.
The ledge is about mile and a half
from Lake Hopatcong and within stoue's
throw of the line Of the proposed new
Lake Hopatcong Railroad, which will run
from Susquehanna to High Bridge,
Mr.. King proposes to form a stock COM
pany aud will begin TO work the ledge
and take out the stone as soon Us the nee
essary arrangements can be perfected.
The find is estimated to be worth about
800, co.,

PRETTY. But A THIEF.
An Eighteen-Year-Old Girl
Who Robbed From DR..
Mcbride, Her En-
ployer.
HER LOVER HELD TOO
He PaWned the Goods-Jessi lie Halls
Mother Weeps Bitterly.

Jessie Hall, pretty ana neatly dressed
eighteen-year young woman in pink,
employed in the Office and residence of
DR.. James Mcbride, the dentist, at No.
6o3 Jersey avenue, was committed for
trial by Police Justice O'Donnell this
morning on a charge of grand larceny.
She admitted having stolen $40 Swiss
breastpin belonging to Mrs. Mcbride, and
other articles, including S25 ring be-
longing to the Doctor.
MANY STOLEN ARTICLES.
Jessie lived with ler mother at No. 375
Fifth street. When her home was search
by Detective Dalton. yesterday, a guam
tity of lace female wearing apparel was
found, which Mrs Mcbride identified as
hers. She testified this morning that it
was worth between $40 and $50.
Jessie's lover, Alexander Ellis, of No.
$40 Fifth street, young man of twenty
five years, with smooth face and light hair
cut la Pompadour ana dressed in II
jauntily cut suit of light cashmere, was
arraigned by her side. He had pawned
the Swiss pin for $50 at Nelson's pawn
shop in his own name, and he admitted
he kept, with the girls consent. $l.50 of
the amount received. The girl stead
fastly corroborated his statement that she
had given him the pin to pawn for her,
telling him 1T belonged to her mother, W no
had asked her to have it pawned. The
girls quiet demeanor and the manner
in which she insisted that Ellis knew
nothing Of the thefts she had committed
impressed everyone in the court room
with the idea that she was simply shield
ing him.
BOTH HELD.
Justice O'Donnell was not willing to
decide as to how far Ellis was criminally
responsible for the girls thieving oper-
ations, and he held him for the Grand
Jury. Both are held in $500.
The girl had been in the employ of DR..
Mcbride since April 4. Her mother was
in court and wept bitterly.
