saw Colonel E. A. Stevens at his office
In the Hoboken Land and Improvement
Company Building this morning and

Hoboken Ferry. He did not seem to be
much interested in the rumored sale, but
smiled rather amusedly when 1 men
toned the object of my visit.
Now" he said, leaning back easily

years and all the time l have heard this

ferry Is like a great many other things
1t is not sold because no one will come
along and give the owners price. / have
never figured out what the ferry is
worth.
The reason this rumor Is more vigorous
now is because the contract with the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company for carrying their
passengers expires on January and not
on April l, as has been printed. There
no more determined efforts to buy the
ferry now than there have been for a long
time past. People are always making
offers for 1t, but no more SO now
than at previous times. AS far as know.

MCPHERSON IS WISE.
New Jerseys Senator Fighting to
Reduce the River and
HarbOr Bill.
Spectal to the Jerseu Gin Nelus.

WASHINGTON, May 90 1892.-Almost
Immediately after the Senate met yester-
day, Mr.. Mcpherson gave notice that he
would move to recommit the River and
Harbor bill with instructions to the Com
merce Committee to exclude from it all
authority TO enter into new contracts and
TO reduce the total amount carried by the
bill so per cent. When the bill came up
later in the day. his motion was read and
explained by him. His object he said,
was to reduce the amount appro-
priated to $l0,000,000. He was a
friends OF public improvements, but he
through that that amount would meet
the fullest present requirements. The
exigency demanded retrenchment, and he
did not know where the pruning-knife
could be used better than on the bill.
The complaint was made of the heavy
obligations placed upon the present
Congress by the last. which are compel
ling the appropriation of large sums. The
contracts In the present bill were similar
obligations which the present Congress
was seeking to place on the next Congress
and against which an equally just COM
plaint would be made.
On motion of Mr.. Dolph the mouion was
tabled by vote of forty-two to six
Pugh and Villas, all Democrats except
Mr.. Kyle. who styles himself and Indo-
crat. OF the forty-two yeas thirty were
cast by Republicans. The Democrats
who voted for the Fifty Million Dollar
bill, were Messrs. Berry, Butler. Cook.
German, Jones (Ark.); Kenna. Mills.
Morgan, Pasco, Vest, Walthall and
White. Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Carlisle were
absent.
A vote go decisive was of course the sig
nal for an easy going consideration of the
bill, and within ten minutes the chamber
was deserted except by Chairman Frye
and several of his colleagues on tho Com
merce Committee, who remained on guard
to move the committee amendments The
ness, secure In the consciousness that the
"pork" would be divided according to
agreement. All of the committee amend
ments were adopted before the Senate
ad journed. Mr.. Frye expects to pass the
bill tomorrow.

CUNNING AT CRONHEIM'S.
HoboISen Saloon Keepers and Citizens
Asked to stand and Deliver.

Hoboken Saloon Keepers and Citizens
Asked to stand and Deliver.
Now that the benefit to that deserving
object of charity, dive keeper Cronheim,
is over, there springs into view the
methods used by the promoters of the
scheme and the consequent picking of
the victims.
Almost every saloon keeper in the
city of any prominence, and many
of the city officials, received letter,
most abject in it's begging suppli-
cation, aud five tickets for the benefit.
The letter set forth that the family of
Cronheim was in need of the assistance
and asking the receiver OF the letter to
accept the tickets enclosed and return
the money for the same. TIE town was
really flooded with these letters, and the
howls that are now and have been arising
are deafening.
President Russ of the Board of Educa-
tion received a batch of tickets and he
couldn't send them back quick enough.
Louis Philibert also received neat little
pleased. and throughout the town the
same nerve was exhibited in pressing the
tickets for the benefit of the law breaker
whom the penitentiary now entertains.
Most of the respectable citizens who re-
ceiyed the tickets returned them immedi-
ately, but it is believed some allowed
themselves to be concerned in aiding a
most undeserviDg charity.

HOBOKEN SCHOOL MONEY,
The Annual Appropriation Fixed Last
Night-A Long List.

Night-A Long List
The Hoboken School Board met last
night to estimate its appropriate MS for
the coming year. A petition was received
from nine teachers asking the Board to
raise the maxlum salary from $720 to
5000 for teachers who have taught for
twenty years. There are four more to
come in for this raise during the year.
The petition was referred. Edward
Horstman asked for an increase in salary.
He now receives $1,000. On resolution of
President Russ the manual was amended
SO that no graduate of the High School
will be allowed. on the night of gradua-
ton, to receive presents other than those
authorized by the Board.
1t has been customary at previous COM
mencements for the pupils. whose rela-
tives are wealthy. to receive from friends
valuable presents at the exercises. This
mas always inspired envious feelings In
the breasts of poorer pupils. and the reso-
luton is to make this impossible here
after. 1t was also decided that the
graduating exercises be held in
the Hoboken Theatre if the
graduates can pledge to the Board that
they have raised the necessary rent.
After considerable debate the following
appropriation list was passed by the
Board. Trustee Reid made several mo.
tions to cut down the items but they were
almost all passed rs read Salaries.

RUMS9HRS in JAIL,
Hoboken Police Beaters
Promptly Indicted by
the Grand Jury.
PUSHING THE GOOD FIGHT.
Why Are Not the Cases of the Ar
rested Jersey City Liquor
Dealers Taken Up?
PUSHING THE GOOD FIGHT.

Seldom has there been such crowd
lowering about the Grand Jury room as
there was yesterday afternoon. 1t was be-
lieved that the cases of the Hoboken sa-
loon keepers who were arrested last Sun
day would be considered, and the belief
was made all the stronger when it was
noticed that half of the Hoboken bluecoats
filed into the Grand Jury room.
When the members of the Grand Jury
filed out, all sorts of rumors were afloat
as to what action had been taken. 1t
was reported that the Board Of Directors
of Eldorado had been indicted. 1t was
also reported that the Grand Jurors were
of the opinion that the Hoboken police
men had exercised undue authority in
making the arrests that they did and
that no indictments were found against
the seloonkeepers.
Another aud later rumor renewed the
impression that the Direc tors of Eldorado
had been indicted, but the Indictment
was reconsidered.
/ showed Prosecutor Winfield a story
which was published this morning to the
effect that he had been sent for by the
Grand Jury and asked to enforce the Blue
Laws next Sunday. The Prosecutor en-
phatically denied the story.
HOB0KEN HIT.
In connection with the Hoboken raid
last Sunday two prisoners were arraigued
before Judge Lippincott this morning.
They had been indicted by the Grand
Jury for assault and battery, and arrested
on caplases. They Were PATRICK Bagley
and Patrick Reilley. Reilley conducts

head encased in bandages. Patrick Bag

who frequented Reilley's saloon. When
Retlley was arraigned Prosecutor Win

close the saloons in Hobolen On last
Sunday. On Sunday morning, May
Is. Policeman Charles Gebhardt
was passing Patrick Reilley's saloon
on First street. He had previously
ordered Reilley to close his saloon. While
passing the place Gebhardt heard voices
inside, and went in. Reilley, in profane
language. ordered Gebhardt out, and
Reilley and Bagley attacked the policeman.
Bagley kicked Gebhardt in the groin.
AMI it is miracle that Gebhardt was not
killed."

Bagley pleaded not guilty. and Judge
Lippincott fixed the bail at 81, 90. Mrs.

BURGLARS AT A BANK.
An Attempt Made 10 Enter the
Basement of the First
National.

An attempt to rob the basement of the
First National Bank building was made
some time last night. This morning
soon after eight o'clock the Office
boy in the office of W. A. Allen, kindling
wood dealer, arrived and opened the win
dows which protect the wood and glass
door behind. He was surprised to
find between the TWO doors a
kit Of burglars tools. He examined the
door and saw that an auger had been
used near one of the lower hinges, but a
hole had not been bored through.
1t was evident that the burglars had
been frightened away. The lad, as soon
as he made the discovery, called a police
man and the office was examined,
but 1t was plainly seen that the burglars
had not gained an entrance to the build
ing. The burglars tools were taken to
Police Headquarters. and Super
intendent Smith has them now.

be impossible for a gang of burglars to
do this in one night. and besides
we have a watchman in the bank all
night and he heard no noise. Before
burglars could get inside of the bank,
they would have to cut through the iron
doors, and this could not possible be done
without the knowledge of the
watchman who would only have to
set off the burglar alarm to Illustrate the
efforts of the burglars. Even if
they got into the bank building

that they will do. Superintendent Smith

Police Stupidity.

Arthur AnDis a victim OF AObOke en-
Police Stupidity.
Through some ones blundering a
young man has been confined in
the Hudson County Jail for the past
few days without any apparent warrant
whatever. The matter was ventilated in
General Sessions this morning by Prose
cutor Winfield.
"Arthur Annis was sent to the County
jail, 7" the Prosecutor said, ''by the Hobo
ken police, to be detained as witness. 1t
appears that the Hoboken police ar
rested three alleged confidence men
and 1t was reported that they
were trying to work Annis. Annis sent
a letter from the County Jail to the effect
that he spoke to the alleged confidence
men first and that nothing in their con-
versation would lead him to believe that
they were trying to swindle him. He
was arrested by the police. and despite
his pleading to be allowed to depart on
the vessel he was about TO take, and
the police hustled him off to
the County Jail. The young
man complained to the British Consul,
who has called attention to the matter,
and serious complications may ensue.
Therefore l demand the immediate dis
charge of this man Annis from the JAIL"
Judge Lippincott discharged Annis.
