ALL WANT TAXES REDUCED.
County BOARD of Equalization Hears
Many Appeals.

The Board of Equalization received an
appeal from f. E. Kempt of the old
Secaucus Board yesterday. Mr.. Kempt
claimed that the valuations on his fifty
five lots, ranging from S1o0 to Sis, was
too large, and that two unfinished brick
houses should not have been assessed
at $500 each. The construction of the
houses, he said, began last March. and
they would not be finished for two
months yet. The complaint was re-
ferred to the Assessor and the Board.
John S. Mohr of Harrison complained
that the assessment of his property at
Fourth and Essex streets was too great.
He said a house and lot had been val
ued by Assessor Nolan at 1900 When
questioned by Commissioner
Mohr admitted that he would not sell
1t for LEGS than $1,000. His case was re-
ferred to the board.
Samuel E.. Renner of Shipper street,
West Hcboken, complained of a valua-
ton of $500 on a lot which he admitted
cost him more than 1000. His only
ground for complaint was that lots on
Clinton avenue, which. he claims are
more valuable than his, are assessed
fer a less sum. The Assessors field
book showed that Renner's lot was
assessed the same as neighboring prop
ertv, His appeal was referred.
When through with these petty. APP
peals the Commissioners turned their at
~tention to the field books of the asses
sors. They will meet again today.

Maria Barberi. the murderess of Dom
enico Cataldi was convicted in the New
York Court of General Sessions, yester-
day. She will be sentenced to death in
the electric chair. and it is to be hoped
she will be duly executed.
Her conviction is, indeed. an unexpected
triumph of law and justice. In these
TRANCE days when women are clamor-
ing to be placed on an equality with men,
there is a perverse tendency on the part
of men to place them on a plane OF
practical immunity for certain crimes.
Murder. in particular. seems to surround
q woman with an aureo,a of romance,
which intoxicates the average juror and
no matter how cruel and cold-blooded
the crime. conviction seldom results
Another pleasing as well as unexpected
feature of this trial was the conduct of
Recorder Gof. whose charge was GER
tainly wise and just and in the pub
lie interest. That he entertained any bias
against the woman cannot be believed,
for he interviewed a number of times to
protect her from the indiscretions of her
counsel. It is recorded. too. that he was
deeply moved when thb verdict was
brought in, and turned away his head as
the interpreter communicated it to the
prisoner. His sense of duty as a Judge.
however, prevailed over all sentiment
when he pointed out the requirements of
law n Justice to the jury. His words
were so sound and so weighty that they
should be impressed on the public mind.
He said:-"You must exemplify justice
by your verdict. A jury has nothing to
do with mercy. The law knows no dis
tinction OF persons. The law does not
hold woman less responsible than man.
The female sex is sometimes used as a.
cloak for most horrible crimes" He dwell
at length upon the danger to the cause
of justice through sympathy for a wo-
man. and he wound up after again re-
minding the jurymen of the s~anctity of
their oath and their promise to treat
the prisoner just as though she were a
man. by telling them of the great dan
ger to the community that would lie in
the act that a jury had publicly pro-
claimed that any woman holding mere
tricious relations with a man could kill
him simply because he refused to marry
her.
We ave had over much of Golf at
his worst in the last two years. Here we
have him at his best.

The Treasury i. all Right.

The Republican papers are making the
most of a momentary situation to howl
calamity about the deficit. It is the same
old story. They are trying to drag their
party back into power by creating panic
and bringing disaster upon industry and
commerce. ~
Here are the facts. In the month of
June. the income of the Government
from all sources exceeded the expendi-
lures by about two millions of dollars
The fiscal veal began with this
month. It brought with it enormous
-seni-annual drains upon the Treasury.
Interest IN public debt. for instance,
fell due. The result of this is that the two
weeks since the first show a deficit of
about fourteen millions of dollars. The
Treasury officials are not alarmed by
this. They fully expected it. Something
similar happens every half year. 1t is
expected that by the end of the month
the net deficit will be reduced to SO, O80,-
600 and every month will tend to reduce
this down to January /, when the next
heavy drain is due. BY that time. it is
calculated. the Government income will
o. an annual average be equal to all its
needs.
The gold reserve remains practically
~unimDaired. There is no sign of a raid
on it, and the syndicate contract by
which It is protected holds good for three
months yet.

MORE ROBBERIEs AT ATLANTIC
The Work OF Thieves Goes Merriiy
on at the Great Seaside Resort. /.
Special to the Jesscp Cdu Nears.

Special to the Jersey City Neirs.
ATLANTIC CITY, July 16, 1Ss5.-There
We're two accidents yesterday in the
heart of the city. which kept the police
and the patrol service moving for a
short while. Warren Ware, the young
son of Enos Ware. Of Michigan and
Pacific venues was sitting In his IA
Tiers wagon at the Longport station OF
the Camden & Atlantic Railroad when
the horse took fright, and ran up At
lantic avenue. The wagon collided with
a trolley pole and young Ware was
thrown a distance of twenty feet, land
ing near the curb on his head and right
shoulder. He received a lacerated wound
on the scalp, and his shoulder was bad
ly bruised. He was removed to his home
in the patrol wagon.
Miss Constance Giltinan, of No. 9 Nor
ris avenue, was run over by a bus at
Pacific and Tennessee avenues, while
riding a bicycle. Her bicycle was smash
ed. and her arm badly cut. The driver
whipped up his horses, but was caught
by an officer at the West Jersey depot
and taken to the police station.
Another robbery in the late special
series was reported to the police yester-
day afternoon. This time 1t was the
summer home of Gustave A. Muller OF
Philadelphia, at No. 6 South Delaware
avenue, which was entered. About mid
night Mrs: Muller heard a noise down
instant and Started from her room to
learn the cause. AS she passed down
stairs she saw three men Jump over the
back fence and make good their escape.
Nothing of any value was stolen. The
police have been notified.
Cap Clark, the life guard, who claims
to have saved so many lives in the past
terests of humanity He has formed
2. combination with ex-Life Guard Brad
ford and will patrol the beach in the
hope of rescuing more lives. The cap
tain VIII not have to contend with Pro-
lessor Walters, the "Whistling Buoy"
who used to surprise the natives and
places of amusement with his whistling
p~roclivities. Both men used to be ia
nous characters in the City-by-the-Sea.
Walters has dropped out.
Notwithstanding the many robberies
which have occurred here in the past
two weeks. one of which was within
a stones throw of police headquarters,
Gouldy. on Atlantic avenue. was entered
by thieves Sunday night, but nothing
was stolen.
There was another narrow escape from
drowning yesterday at the foot of Mich
igan avenue. This time it was a young
lady who is visiting here and who de-
clined to give her lame She ventured
cramps and called Justify for help. Life
Guards Westcott and Lake rushed to her
assistance as she was going down for the
last time.

view of the facts it is racy reading.
Here 1t is:-
Acting Chief of Police Conlin was
asked three questions yesterday
lido you think the police force Is as
efficient IN preventing and detecting
crimes as2tt was a year ago?"
u certainly do" was his reply-"in-
finitely more so. The force is in a much
higher state of discipline and IS fully
able to cope with any police matter"
2-"Do you think that the recent extra
duty in enforcing the excise and Sunday
closing laws has had any effect on the
police protection of the city at large.
None whatever he answered. THE
discipline has been beneficial to the
force"
S-'Do. you. think that the Detective
Bureau ts effictent?"
st is as efficient as 1t was two years
ago. he said. "But it Is far from, being
wha it should be or what it Is .ex-
pected it will be-"
1t will evidently be prudent to keep
away from New York hotels while the
reform spasm lasts. But, what mat
teri No liquor is sold on Sunday-in the
saloons which supply the humber
classes.

When the County Board of Health met
! yesterday, the recently appointed mem
| Der. DR.. John A. Connell of No. 81
| Bowers street was on hand and he oc-
cupied the seat for so many years filled
by DIR. C. H. McNeill. The new member
is about forty years old and has been a
resident of this city six years. He was
born in New Hampshire and is a graduate
Of the New York Homeopathic Medical
College. DIR. Cornell is a man of medium
height and build. light complexioned,
and wears a closely cropped Van Dyke
beard. He appeared much interested in
the doings of the Board. County Ply
stefan Converse and Clerk Rooney intro
duced him to the members Of the Board
its employees and the members of the
press.
Henry w. Mosher. a scavenger, Pc
titioned the Board to decrease his license
from $40 to $40, because he is forced to
pay $40 additional to Bayonne and Hobo
ken and s20 to Jersey City for a local
license. The petition was granted.
Warden Kelly of the Contagious Dis
ease Hospital reported that some plumb
ing In the new hospital was defective
and this 81 r; report IT,, was so e0nllfmea p Nth Pr fSe
steam pipes, Kelly said, were also de-
~fective. Contractor Ntblett informed the
Board that he wouid remedy these evils.
He asked the Board to allow him his
fnal payment of s,1692 and $3.50 extra
for work lone By him after Contractor
John Brennan SO mySterlouSfy dfsap-
peared two years ago. The Board was in
formed that Mr.. Kre!tler, the supervising
architect, would not give a certificate
tina the work was don and done properly
and the Board refused to make the final
payment. In this connection counsel to
the Board said that the specifications for
a ventilator at the top of the roof called
for a glass window which could be regu-
lated by cords, but instead of following
the p ecificatioDs jalousies had been put
in which 0 prove Objectionable in
cold weather.
Superintendent Oldhausen. of the New
Jersey Central Railroad, wrote the Board
tha he had investigated the complaint
from Bayonne that the locomotive
whistles were a nuisance and that he
would endeavor to abate it.
As 'sThe Jersey City News stated a
week ago would be done, the Board I'M
