IN WASHINGTON TODAY
Congressman Bland Introduces a
Silver BllI-Senate and
Tariff.

WAsHINGToN, DE. .. 1898. Mr.. Bland
of Missouri, Chairman of the Committee
on Coinage, Weights and Measures. In
troduced In the House today bill re-
pealing so much of the Act OF 1873. re-
vising and amending the laws relative
to mints aud assay offices, as prohibits
the coinage OF the standard silver
dollar. The measure re-eHacts so much
OF the act of January IS. 1887, as relates
to and provides for the coiuage OF the
standard silver dollar OF 4l21S grains.
This is a free coinage law,
The measure will be referred to MIR
Bland's committee. and. it is expected,
will be favorably acted upon ani report
ed TO the house at an early day. The
measure will be placed on the ,lend IT,
where it will remain until the tariff bill Is
disposed OF. AS soon as the tariff is out
of the way Mr.. Bland will make every
effort to have the House consider the
matttr.
Speaking of the measure, Mr.. Bland
said that he intended to fight for its
passage with all the energy he pos
sessed. There has been a re-
no on" said Mr., Bland. ''since the adj
Jo rnment OF the extra session In favor

1t was not silver that caused the recent

mite will report it favorably to

seriously considered, with the chances

The tariff was fruitful topic for the
discussion that in more or less informal
manner occupied the hour the Finance

but the impression gathered by the

mittee would insist that these
hearings should take place before
the bill had passed the Ssnste.

THE EXPENSE TOO GREAT.

Appeals in the boulevard Award Clses
Areuses Judge Lippincotr.
Ernest Asmus was awarded So, ,405 IS
damages and Mrs. May Higgins s6, 1875
damages by the Commissioners of Cons
demnation in the County Boulevard cases
in the Fifth section, and they were dis
satisfied with the awards They ap-
pealed, and today when struck jury
was sworn in ex>Judge Abel l. Smith on
behalf of his clients asked Judge Lippin-
colt that separate jury should be en-
pannelled in each case
Judge Lippincott refused to allow the
request and said that if separate struck
juries were required for each of the Boule-
yard appeal cases there would scarcely be
enough qualified juries in the county to
try them all. The Court deplored the
great expense to the county that these
struck juries entail. and very strongly
intimated that the less important of the
cases would be held back until the Legis-
la, ure can give some relief The Court
believes that II these cases were referred
to referees and testimony taken and then
referred to the Court, that equally good
results would be reached with great
deal less expense.
These remarks of Judge Lippineott are
well worth considering, for the expense
to the county in these appeal cases when
the last one will have been tried will
reach about $4,000, and In many of the
cases the appeals have been trihing and
the juries have cut down the amounts
awarded by the Commissioners of Con-
dsmnation. 1t is more than probable
that an act will be introduced in the Lsgis-
lature having for its object the lessening
of expensesin these and similar cases.
The jury after it was sworn in were
taken in coaches to view the lands in
question and the cases will be resumed

DISHONEST FERRYMEN.
The Probable Way the Crew of the
HobOken Boat Worked.

At the Office of the Hoboken Ferry
Company all knowledge of the sueAm-
boat plundering, the story of which was
exclusively related in THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS of last evening. Is kept under
cover. The officials nave instructed the
employees OF the company to maintain
profound secrecy, and it is with diff
Guilty that anything relating TO the
thievery can be ascertained. The pluud-
erers confined their ravages to the Four
teenth and Christopher street terrrfss,
althougn occasioaally on The
stealings be noticeable No COM
plaiuts OF any particular account
came respecting thls line, however. The
Christopher street line was the one upon
, which the stealing was principally con-
Quoted. On this line at night there are
many produce wagons crossing, more SO
than on the Barclay street line. The
Mauscons tcong, u side wheeler employed
on the Ch ris5opher street ferry, fs Kept In
Constant use on that line. 1t is perhaps
due to this fact largely that this boat was
the one upon which the thieves seemed to
have located, and in the deptns of which
were found the tools utilizei IN tapping
kegs and prying cases. There seems TO
be q question OF doubt as to whether the
crew of the boat are the only ones who
pilIaged the wagons. IL Is advanced that
they had accomplices In the work. The
crew OF the boat Is not large on the Mig
trips, when the merchandise was mostly
lost, and it would appear impossible for
crew of six men to lift the goods from
wagons aud carry them down into the
hold Of the vessel The men were sup
posed to be attending to their duties, aud
they could not remain long away from
their posts without detection. unless the
whole crew, Including the pilot, were in
the scheme.
The complaints which the company re-
ceived were those concerning night trips
| in most instances. In chilly weather,
| late at night, it is the custom of drivers
| of teams TO shelter themselves In the
mems cabin. There they congregate
and the trip across is made pleasant by
yarn spinning. The crew OF tue boat Is
| delegated TO guard teams whils drivers
| are Inside the cabins. This afforded The
| crew au opportunity to accomplish their
work. Orce they lifted leg OF mutton
| from the wagon, and it Was an easy
1 matter for them TO descend the ladder to
| the darKened hold.

and another load would be taken down.

TAX COMMISSIONERS ALERT.

Sent Registered Letters This Year to
Holders of Personal Property.
The Tax Commissioners are having the
liveliest sort Of row with manutactur-
ers and business men. relative to assess
ments levied on personal property. Last
year the board was Knocked OUT by firms
declaring they had no opportunity to
appeal. and in other cases, that they had
not been notified. As result Of
these declarations personal tax collections
were a tizze. This year. however.
everybody upon whom personal tax
was levied, received a copy OF the follow
ing letter:
Ihave been directed by the Board of Tax
statement of your personal property wit hin
Jersey City. This blank is not sent to you as a
mere formally but for the purpose of ascertain
ing nformaton upon whicn q fair assessment
eau be made.
The Tax Commissioners have considerable
trouble 10 making fair estimate of the as
sessahe property within the city, especially
that belonging to large corporations, an. in
order to see that no injustics is done. they
desire to obtain the estimate Of tbs tax payers
This letter 10 written to you because of sug-
gestions which have been made by the State
Board Of Assessors and to meet their require
ments In case OF appeal. You should make this
statement as of the twentieth OF May iSo3 and
mail to this Office at once.
II you wish any information relative to this
matter please call at this ofice, where you will
be attended to without delay.
About 800 OF these were mailed to per-
sons owning personal property in large
amounts, and in but three instances were
replies received. But 1t will be a
sad plight that men so assessed
will placs themselves in IL they again de-
clare that they did not receive MOTTO of
the assessments levied. The Tax Com
| missi5ners were on the alert this year,
| and are In position to refute
such statement. They sent to each
person concerned q registered letter, and
Of course received the receipt. Signa-
lures make good evidence. Personal
| taxes this year will amount to good
round sum.

Men and a Salesman

John Johnston of No. 300 West

wholesale liquor dealer OF No. 434 Sixth
avenue, New York. was arraigued bsfore

JoHNsToN's STORY.
According to JonnsGon's story, he has
past year, been selling liq lors TO saloons
keepers in the Greenvtlls section at u
price considerably less than the market
value of the same. These sales
were never engineered by himself
but by the Greeuville men. who, he says.

horse dealer, of Ocean avenue; John

bought the liquor from him,
gave him notes payable in thirty DAYS
time in payment therefore, and thai,
although they sold the goods for cash. he
never received a cent from them. 1t was
learned that the saloonkeepers who
bought the liquors did pay cash for the
same and were able to display eeeipted
bills
A few weeks ago, however. Johnston's
employer. Mr.. Roch. thought it queer
that all of Johnstou's customers should
take liquor ou credit and give Dotet pay
able in thirty days, aud last week he
visited the Greenville dealers aud
| started TO investigate Johnstoa'I
manner of doing business. He was
surprised to tiud tn every one of the
| dealers had paid for the goods and thas
| he was the victim OF clever fraud. He
did not hesitate long about the matter,
and went TO Police Justice kiinmerly
and swore out warrant for Johnston'g
arrest on a charge of embezzlement.
THE ARREST.
