upon in some definite manner. II the
claims are correct, they will all be passed.
Those requiring investigation will be
looked into and either passed or returned
to the pigeon holes in which they have
slept for months. The object is to begin
the new year without an unpaid claim to
contend with.
On January /, 1898. 100000 worth of
water scrip falls due. The Finance Board
decided by resolution to recover this in
debtedness, and to issue thirty year bonds
for the amount bearing 5 per cent. inter-

tion of the thirty years, u Sinking Fund
is to be established into which will be

CROSSED WIRES CAUSE FIRES.
New York Nearly Cut OFF From South

New York Nearly Cut Off From South
and West by a Small Blaze.
The crossing of two wires set fire to the
Western Union Telegraph Company's
tower, at the foot of York street, at about
half past six o'clock last evening. and
burned out 1873 of the 1856 wires which are
connected from the tower with the cable
running across the river to New York
IL was what Assistant Fire Chief Den
mead calls "a nasty fire." because the
network of wires hampered the work of
the firemen.
Nevertheless. the tiremen worked val
spread of the flames. Though confined
to small space, the damage is nearly
81, 1000. Nearly all the Western lines, all
of the Southern and all of the Erie wires
are among those burned out. Communi-
cation, however, was not entirely shut
off, as there is another cable with con-
Meeting wires further up the river. Chief
Electrician Baker and force of men i'm
med1ately went to work to repair and re-
place the damaged wires. and at ten
O'CLOCK last night, the principal wires had
been connected and the entire system is
now in operation.
The rottenness of the present fire alarm
system was amply demonstrated through
the alarm for this fire. At the stable of
Fire Headquarters, Il heavy iron weight
cate machinery, incased in mahogony and
glass, fell and partially smashed the case
ing.
AT $40 o'clock the crossing of two
wires caused Box No. IA to give false
alarm,

YOUNG COAL THIEVES.

Judge Lippincott Says He Does Not
Know What to Do With Them.
When James Dugan, a mere boy, was
convicted of stealing coal from the rail-
roads, In the Sessions this morning, Judge
Lippincott remarked that he did not
know what sentence to impose.
There are SO many BOYS of tender
years, who come before this Court on
charges of stealing coal from the railroads
that it seems extraordinary. The par
ents who send children out to steal coal
ought to be sent to the Penitentiary. The
Court does not believe sending these
young pilferers to the Reform School has
much effect as the parants generally beg
them Off" The Court sent the young thief
to the County Jail for ten days.
Robert Hamilton, an eighteen-year-old
youth, who the testimony showed to be a
pick pocket. who had been arrested after
taking a pocket book from q
lady in the Academy of
Music was convicted. and the Court
sentenced him to one year at hard labor
in the PenitentiarY, and said he hoped
that the sentence would be n warning.
William and John Engel, brothers,
were tried on counter charges of
assault and battery. They quar-
relied about a woman and John
stabbed William in the arm. William
hit John and knocked him down

They were CO nvicted. and the Court SEN
fenced John to a term of three months

At this point the poor old lady broke

BRIDGEToN, Nov II, 1S92.-The death of
DR.. Enoch Fithian. the more than centen-
arian. removes fran Cumberland county
the oldest physician In New Jersey. the
first graduate of the University of Penn
sylvania, and the oldest Free Mason in
the United States. The aged physician,
who was known to almost every citizen
OF Cumberland county, left his home at
Greenwich on election day in company
with members OF his family and cast his
vote for Benjamin Harrison, talked with
acquaintances aud was then taken home.
He had been quite feeble for some time, but
his family did not think his death was SO
near at hand, although the venerable
patriarch was living long years on bor-
rowed time. About five years ago the
old gentleman expressed desire to see
Michael Potter, the Willow Grove CEN
tenarian, and he was then taken to Mr..
Potters's old homestead. where the two
old men had a brief talk. At that time
DR.. Fithian did not think he would live to
reach the century marx, but expressed
himself anxious to do so. He was
Republican in politics and a
man Of the utmost conscienuiousness
in all his transactions. He prRcticed
medicine for over forty years and had
very large practice in Cumberland and
Gloucester COUNTESS, the two counties
where ne passed nearly all his long life.
He was a leader in the Presbyterian
Church for many years, and held many
positions of trust in the church, and was
known ana beloved by many promine t
clergymen in this State. DR.. Fithian was
never married, and always seemed to be
devoted to his work of making others
happy about him. He celebrated the one
hundredth anniversary of his birth in
May of this year.
