Kings County Board Of Estimate
Makes Startling Discoveries.
Some Big slnshing May BE Done in
the Budget for '04.

The Kings County Board OF Estimate
met in the Brooklyn City Hall this
morning. and although the session was a
short one preparations were made for
the application Of the pruning knife
to the amounts asked for by some of
the departments. which may cost a num-
Der of employees their positions and
ali the incomes OF officials who re-
ceive compensation in fees. The most
Important official paid by fees Is Sheriff
Buttling who asks for $3.50, 900 for his
expenses for the payment of employees
n keeping Of prisoners at Raymond
Street Jail.
Buttling, in his estimate. has Jumped
the whole sum. He will be called be-
fore h Board and asked to explain in
detail how the money Is to be ex-
pended.
In taking up the matter Of the fees
paid to county c~onstables, the Board
was amazed at the amount of money
drawn by some OF these officials for their
services.
Jameson, now in the penitentiary, re-
eeived $1,000 for six months services
Mayor Schieren upon inquiring about

learned that in one of Mr.. Jamieson's
bills he journeyed In one day, on foot, 224
miles after n prisoner.
In. considering the appropriation for the
clerks Of the Supreme Court, which Is
S64,90O, the Board learned hat 50, 400 was
for the Clerk and four assistants.
Supervisor-at-Large Fitchie stated that
he had made Inquiries about the Item
and could only find three assistants to
the Clerk. The Secretary was directed
TO notify Chief Clerk Girard stevens to
appear before the Board and explain why
the item provided for -four assistants If
there were but three.
The total amount asked for in the city
budget for 1895 Is sl2, S67. 2S7. GO. against

partments for 1896 Ia SIG, ia. 304. 95, an in

In some of the departments a large
amount is asked for to cover a deficit
of last year. In the Department of the
COMMISSIONS of Jurors there is a de-
felt of S25. 900, which was largely due to
the trial of John Y. McKane and other
Gravesend offenders.

though the tax rate for 1895 may be in

Loss of Three Lives.

CAPE MAY, Dec PA shocking acci-
dent involving the loss Of three lives oc-
Cured at the Cedlr-ave crossing Of the

evening. A party consisting Of Mrs. Will
lam d. Lewis, her daughter Mary. and
son John, aged respectively sixteen and
fourteen years, of East Vineland, and Mrs.
David J. Jones and her ffteen-year-old
daughter, Mary, Of Bridgeton, were re-
turning from church. Young Lewis was
driving and whipped up the horse in an
attempt II cross in front Of the South
Jersey express. which was rapidly ap-
preaching. When in the center of the
track the horse baked and the next in
slant the train crushed into the carriage,
cutting it in two.
Mrs Lewis, her son and Mary Jones
were Instantly killed. Mary Lewis and
Mrs. Jones escaped by jumping from the
rear Of the carriage when they realized
Mrs. Lewis's body was found in trench
a hundred feet from the crossing, and near
by it lay the corpse of her young son.
The mothers back was broken and the
boy was mutilated beyond recognition.
The body Of Mary Jones was found lying
on the cow-catcher after the train had

HAD MADE UP HIS MIND.
4 Juror in Contempt Because He Re-
fused 10 Deliberate.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 24-Today the jury
in the case Of Dr.. R. II. Jones, charged
with numbering Capt. W. G. Veal, during
the confederate reunion at Dallas, in No
vember, 1892, came into court and said
they could not agree.
Judge Clint asked If there was any
probability Of their reaching verdict by
longer deliberation. The reply was there
was not a possible chance.
Judge Clint then stated that he had in
his hand a note from a member Of the
Jury TO the effect that directly after they
nounced that he had already made his
mind up, and the rest OF them could
weigh the testimony, reflect on the argu-
ments and refer TO the judges charge to
thair hearts content but as for him, he
would never convict DR.. Jones. He said
that he knew Capt Veal, and knew him
To be a scOUndrel and hyp0crite and that
he deserved TO be killed. He also knew
some Of the prosecuting witnesses to be
of the same stripe. Judge Clint added
that the purity OF the jury box ought to
be maintained at any cost; that II the con-
tents Of the note were true the juror in
question was guilty Of perjury, and had
perhaps been bribed, and. at any rate, was
in contempt. The judge said he would
suspend action until the grand jury could
make an investigation, and for that pur-
pose he ordered the jury to appear before
the grand jury next Thursday morning
and answer such questions as that body
shall see proper 10 PROFOUND. In the
meantime the jury was discharged.
Judge Clint declined TO give the name
either Of the author Of the note or Of the
Juror who entertained such a prejudice
against the victim Of DR.. Jones's pistol.
The affair caused a great sensation IN Dali
las, particularly in court and legal circles.

Begin Jan. :.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Judge Woods to-
day decided that the jail sentence for Debs
and his six associates in the Santa Fe case
should begin Jan. s. On motion Of At
torney Gregory, for The defense, the Santa
Fe and government cases, on which SEN
tences were cumulative, We're separated
and sentence of q continuance of the latter
was deferred until the Santa Fe sentence
should be served An appeal will be taken
in the government case. Sentence was de-
ferred to Jan. 8, to allow an appeal to be
perfected
The defense asked that the sentences be
made cumulative instead of concurrent.
There were two cases in which the union
was found guilty of contempt-the gov
ernment case and the Santa Fe. Judge
Woods entered the order, which, if carried
out will give Mr. Debs one year in Jail
instead Of six months. and the others six
months instead of three. This point was
purely technical, for the purpose Of test
ing the legality of both sentences in the
United States supreme court.
''Of course we have to take our chances
for a longer Imprisonment" said Debs In
justified in taking the risk The decision
Of the point involved, if in our favor, will
be a great victory for organized labor.

that there is a good fighting chance for us

as young Barbour had disappeared on

mains were fully identified by the father
as those Of his seventeen-year-Old son
Some Of the missing youths associates
however, doubted the identity, and a num-
Der Of his fellow clerks were called in to-
day TO view the body. There was a differ

NEW YORK, Dec 24-The Rev. Dr.
Parkhurst was not pleased at the prospect
that the Investigation Of police corruption
IS to be stopped before the heads Of the
department shall have been called upon to
testify, and still less is he pleased with the
proposition which is said to be favored by
members Of the Lexow committee: that
Superintendent Byrnes be charged with re-
organization Of the department DR..
Parkhurst said today that he would not
stop even if the senate committee did. He
said he believes the committee IS about
through with serious work.
1T IS evident, and I am Informed, ''he said
that superintendent Byrnes is to be sub
jected only to q perfunctory examination
and that it was he who planned the con-
fession of Capt. Schmittberger.
Putting these things together it looks
very much like a deal But there are
other possible explanations Of the changed
spirit OF the committee, and I do not care
to say anything now about the matter
'AIy opinion Of Superintendent Byrnes
has not changed with the attitude Of the
! committee. I had hoped to have had the
investigation completed. not stopped, so
that I might have a rest. But If 1t isn't
finished by the committee I will simply
have to go ON. OF course / am free to do
so. am not bound by anything the COM
mittee may have agreed to. and ] will
continue my work till it is rightly ended.
I am IN doubt as TO what 7 shall do at the
moment, p2rly because / dread a misin-
| terpretaUon Of my motive. I would not
/ have it thought that I am actu3ted by
q mere prejudice against Superintendent
/ Byrnes. But 1 do think that ne is at the
head Of the exposed police system as he
iS of the police force. \ gentleman said
20 me recently that ne would as soon think
Of asking sltan's advice on the reSrganiza-
/ tiOn Of hell as Byrnes's on the reOrganiZa-
| tiOn of the police. That expresses my
| opinion exactly. There is no prejudice in
my feelings against Byrnes, but 1 have
met his power Of opposition to my work
! OF reform at many points and hence I have
! gained a knowledge of him which has been
/ such as to make me hold alOof from any
alliance with him that may be accepted

| John ". Gof, recorder-elect and chief

/ questions of the former keeper of a dis
