A MANURE NUISANCE.

While the journal" Endorses New
York Lies, the Police Are at Work.
In Justice Davis court this morning
Henry Beaking. Carl Shultz, John Barker,
Frank Cluncke, Franz Bayne, Henry
Beaver and Charles Frankleson, all
drivers Of manure carts, were fined $40
apiece for violation OF the health code,
and cautioned not TO repeat the offence
or no fine wouiu be received, but they
would be sent to the County Jail.
The arrest of these men will probably
result In the abating of a nuisance which
has annoyed train passengers and per-
sous living on the westerly brow of the
Heights for some time.
There was dumping ground for man
ure on the line of the County Road near
the Pen Horn Creek. 1t sprung
up quickly, and thanks to Cap
tain McNuity it has been as
quickly abated. Under cover of
night, carts laden with manure came on
the ferry from New York ana were
dumped on the line of the county road
within easy access of several railroads
The manure became such a nuisance
that Captain McNulty heard of it and
a week ago he ordered mounted
Policeman Donohue to raid the
drivers of the carts, and at that time the
seven above mentioned were arrested and
the examination set down for this morn
Ing.
The fines of the drivers were paid by
their New York foreman. They will be
raided again unless permit is secured
from the County Board of Health.

real estate. Mr.. MilIer's assessment may
also have percentage added to it.
John O'Donnell. Assessor for Wee
hawken. only increased the valuations OF
his township S28,60 on real estate. The
hanced valuations and it would not be
surprising If the valuations were in
creased by the County Board.
A LOWER RATE.
There is no doubt but that the county
tax rate will be lower for the next tax
levy than it was for the last. The county
requires about S6S, 900 less bhis year ana
siderably increased. The tax rate will
not be struck for some time yet.
When President German of the Tax
Board made his report yesterday he ac-
counted for the increased valuations by
improvements that have heen made.
and and new system that his
taxes. Assessor George Bruce, of North
Bergen, amended his report by adding
S5, TOO to the real property, and 81, 100 to
the personally. Assessor Green, of
Kearny, also increased his real valu-
ations $4,000. John Dppel, of North
Bergen, appealed from the assessment
levied upon his property, It was assessed
for 500 and hitherto had been assessed
for $500. He is exempt from $500 taxation
by the Veteran Act. The Board referred
the matter to the Assessor.
Clerk Connolly read O communication
from the Board of Freeholders. which
notified the Board that the Freebolders
would require 1866, $40 for the county ex-
penses this year. and the resolution ac-
companying the communication and the
letter were ordered fled and spread In

The Tax Commissioners of this city
made their report to the County Board
for the Equalization of Taxes yesterday.
The report shows that the Tax Commits
missioners have been working very hard
of late in adjusting valuations. In only
very few cases did the Commissioners de-
crease any valuation OF last year; but in
every district in the city increases were
made. The valuation made by the Com
missioners this year was $S4. .456. 1856 for the
entire city. Last year it was SS1, ,3ss,065.
thus showing total increase of So, ,06S, ,085
for the present year. The table given
above explains itself. and shows how the
increase comes in.
For ten days the assessors from every
portion of the county have the right to
amend their reports, and either add TO them
or made reductions. Until the ten days.
limit expires, it cannot be said what the
total amount the county's valuations will
be, but on the figures submitted thus far,
the indications point TO a healthy condi-
tion of the county's wealth.

The valuation OF West Hoboken as or
igiuRlly returned by Assessor Edward
Mcdonald showed q decrease of $3.50 6S5,

terday. "Philn is an attache of the Tax
Commissioners Office. Yesterday Mr.
German took Phil and Seneca Barker to
inspect his factory in Second street. In
dark section of the factory IS an
immense Indicator. In order to
reach it one has TO pass a
receptacle for garbage and all other waste
stuff which collects about the factory.
The indicator was pointed out to Phil.
With mouth and eyes wide open, he
started for the Indicator. when suddenly
Phil disappeared. A faint scream, fol-
lowed by a cloud Of blue smoke emanat-
ing from the receptacle. was next
eeen. Phfl was out of sight
He was up to his neck it it. Seneca
Barker pulled him and his remark was,

negie to interfere in favor of the locked
out men at Homestead.
This question is suggested to the
minds Of many here by the
rumor af1oat last night that
ODonnell will sail for Europe today. AS
the story ran, Owen Murphy, friend of
OpDonneli. recently sold out his business
at Homestead for large sum and went
to New York, where he was Joined by
O'Donnell. and the two were to make Il
tour. OF Ireland, O'Donnell going as Muir
phys guest.
O'Donnell's statement when he left
Pittsburg night before last, that If he
was successful in the mission he
was started on, the trouble at Home
stead would be settled, is now con-
nected with the rumor that he is to sail
today. and there are not few who be-
lieve that the real meaning of O'Donnell's
words was that il he could prevail upon
Mr.. Carnegie to interfere, the Homestead
lockout would be decided without defeat
to the Amalgamated Association.

one in connection with the building.
Some say 900 piles will be sufficient

eighteen hundred will be necessary to
make the building secure. Pile Driver
