GoRMAN's HEAD OFF.
James Love Recognized Today as a
Tax Commissioner.

Tax Commissioners.
John D. Gorman's official head was
chopped off this morning when his demo-
cratic colleagues, Clarke and Prigge, recog-
nized Mr. James Love as a member ee the
Board of Tax Commissioners. 1t was about
eleven O'clock this morning when Mr.. Love
entered the City Hall, and made his way to
the office of the Tax Commissioners. Clarke
and Prigge had just directed Clerk Con-
molly to call the roll. The transaction
of routine business only was coll
templated, but Mr.. Loves appearance
changed the programme. He presented his
credentials to President Clarke, who, in
turn, handed them over to Clerk Connolly
Mr.. Connolly read the credentials. They
consisted of a copy of Mayor Wanser's letter
of appointment to succeed John D. German
Mr.. Love was appointed last April.
Mr.. Love explained that his reason for not
demanding his seat in the board before was
that he did not in any way wish to do
anything at the time of his appointment
which might be construed into affecting the
legality of the assessment which was at that
time being levied. Tax Commissioner Love
took his seat in the board and voted to pass
few small bills.

A TALE OF TWO LOVERS.
Uncle sarn's Soldier BOY Found

Uncle Sarn's Soldier BOY Found
Favor in Miss Roth's Eyes.
Joseph Stem, 9 member of Battery II,
located on Governors Island, came to Ho-
boken Yesterday afternoon with the inten-
tion of visiting his sweetheart Miss Rohr,
who lives over Hart's dry goods store,
on Washington street He reached the
house about three o'clock. Attired in his
full military uniform, the man was received
graciously by the young girl. Everything
went smoothly.
Towards dusk the door bell rang, and the
young lady opened the door, to find
Bernard Weinberg, one of her admirers,
standing there smiling. The girl was all in
a furry, and hastened to tell the caller that,
while she would dearly love to entertain him,
she dared not bring him in the same room
with the soldier. A row might ensue
Bernard was inclined to become incensed,
but composed himself and complacently in
formed Miss Rohr that he would stand in
the hallway and wait The young girl per-
suaded him to step outside and do his wait
lag in the street. Finally Bernard consented;
It was about five o'clock. The girl
went back to Joseph, and the couple recount
ed all the happy hours spent together, while
Bernard promenaded the sidewalk Seven
o'clock, and still Joseph remained inside.
Bernard was Impatient all through. Going
up to the door, he rang the Dell.
The girl appeared again, and was surprised
at finding Bernard there He had forgot
ten all about him. He manifested anger and
said if Stein didn't come down he'd kill him.
and that he'd kill him anyhow. Miss Rohr
slammed the door, affrighted, and ran up
stairs, her heart palpitating.
She informed Stein of what had
occurred Joseph reflected He did not
exactly care to go down and be slaughtered.
Miss Rohr, besides, chung to his neck and
said he should not thusly meet his death.
With little persuasion Joseph fingered with
his love. But Bernard did not go from
the street. Nine o'clock came and he
was perambulating the walk in front.
10 o'clock he was still at it. He was deter
mined to punish Stein for monopolizing Miss
Rohr At IL o'clock all thought of Bernard
down in the street had fed from Joseph's
mind, and as he bade a fond adieu all his
thoughts were of the pleasantest. They were
changed as soon as he left the house. Joseph
and Bernard rolled about the gutter, Joseph
the victim of a terrific shower of blows from
the end of Bernard's fist Policeman Kar-
dell came along in the nick of time, as Joseph
was about exhausted. Bernard was locked
up as a prisoner and Joseph as complainant.
This morning Bernard was held for the
Grand Jury by Recorder McDonough.

The Torpedo Destroyer AufoFd a.
PernambucO. -
NEW YORK, Jan. q 1S94.-Captain 9. d.
Anderson of the steamer Portuguese Prince,
from Pernambuco, December 10, reports
that the new English built gunboat or tor
pedo destroyer, Aurora, which was re-
Gently purchased by the Brazilian Gov
erninent for SIS, 600, arrived at Pernambuco
November % She came out IN charge
of an English crew and was delivered to the
Government, who had two hundred men
from Rio ready to man her. An offer OF TWO
pounds per day per man was made 10 Inc
English armorers in charge of the guns to
induce them to remain. but it was refused
and the men returned to England. The only
other ship of war in Pernambuco harpor Is
the guardship Paranageba.
There is an uneasy feeling notlceap!e
amongst the inhabitants Martial law Is
strictly enforced and no discussions OF po-
litical nature are heard. During the stay in
port of the Portuguese Prince, Captain An
derson saw street car conductor shot and
instantly killed by a soldier because
the conductor requested the soldier to
stand and give his seat to passengers
who had paid their fares. Apparently
but little notice was taken in the affair, and
the soldier was not brought to account SO fa1
as Captain Anderson could learn.
Nothing was learned of the Nletheroy OF
America. Their arrival was looked for with
interest at Pernambuco.

SALOONS CLOSED SUNDAY.
Five Arrests Made in the Heights Sec
tIon-None Down Town.

The police enforced the Sunday closing
law SO rigidly on Sunday last that it may be
considered the tiryest Sunday the city has
experienced inyears.
LIQUOR dealers in the lower section of the
city needed the warning given them to keep
closed doors, and, as a result, no arrests
were made down town.
In all five arrests were made, but the
offenders are residents of Hudson City and
the Hill.
Liquor could be purchased, but only old
time customers were served. Several saloon
men kept bartender at work inside, while
they kept watch on the outside and steered
customers down dark Railways, up flight
of stairs and finally into the saloons.
The business, however, did not pay for the
chances taken and the expense incurred in
purchasing heavy curtains for the windows
and sawdust for the floors.
The saloon men blame superintendent
Smith for the enforcement of the law. The
Superintendent insists that as long as he re-
mains in office the saloons will
either keep closed on Sunday
or have their licenses revoked. The absence
of drunken men from the streets on Sunday
was noticeable.
George Grob of No. % Central avenue
kept open Sunday morning until ten minutes
past twelve midnight He was consequently
a defendant this morning before Justice
Birdsall Grob testified that he was going
to close and had requested his customers 10
leave Justice Birdsan thought Grob was
telling the truth and SO discharged him.
Fred Langfenberg of Hutton street was
arrested Sunday morning for violating the
excise law An officer stood at Central av-
enue and Hutton street for over quarter of
an hour, and saw dozen people enter his
place. Langfenberg was placed under ar
rest, and Justice Birdsall held him for the
Grand Jury.
There was only one arrest in Greenville on
Sunday At many of the saloons the cur
tains were pulled up, giving pedestrians
a full view of the interior Captain
Nugent detailed all his men not on
duty to patrol the precinct in citizens
clothes and thorough canvas of all the
saloons was made. At nine o'clock in the
morning Policeman Dunn found the saloon
of Thomas Lyons, at No 152 Ocean avenue,
open, and a number of men drinking at the
bar He arrested Lyons and closed the
saloon. Lyons was arraigned before Justice
Kimmerly this morning and was held in $500
bail to await the action of the Grand Jury.
The Fourth Precinct police arrested Peter
Morris, who was tending bar at his brothers
saloon on johnson avenue, and Arthur
Buchanan of No 42 jackson avenue. They
were arraigned before Justice Kirnmeriy
yesterday morning and both waived exami-
nation for trial and gave bail.

CONSIDERING THE INCOME TAX.

WASHINGTON, JAN 2, 1894. THE Demo-
cratic members of the Ways and Means
Committee will hold a meeting at the Treas
ury Department at four o'clock this after
noon to further consider the adoption of an
income tax. Nothing was done at last
nights meeting, owing to the abb
sence of Mr. Bynum, who was ILL., At
this afternoons meeting all the members vii l
be present. and as the question has been fully
considered in all its phases, an effort
will be made to limit the discussion
and reach a vote before adjourn
ment. The committee is about evenly
divided ON the proposition land as last nights
meeting developed no change of sentiments
on the part of any individual member, it IS
still an open question whether a majority
will favor general income tax only on cor
porations and inheritances.
