Low APPROPRIATIONS.
Board Of Finance Will Keep
Department Expenses Down
to the Lowest Notch.

The Finance Board met last night and
Commissions Bailey was absent. The
budget of appropriations was not discus
sed. The Commissioners want to know
what the county and school tax will be
before they take definite action. A meet
ing has been called for next Thursday
evening. and In the meantime 1t Is ex-
| pected that all the desired Information
will be at hand.
The budget has to be finished by July
81 and it is probable that the whole mat
ter will be disposed of next Thursday.
Appropriations are going to be small
this year. Mayor Wanser's instructions
to shave the estimates as close as pos
sible have been carried out to the letter.
Some of the departments will probably
be disappointed, but reduced %appropri-
ations are necessary to prevent an in
creased tax rate.
WATER NOT DISCUSSED.
Water was not discussed last night.
The members will not tackle that ques-
ton until compelled to do so by the
Street and Water Commissioners, III
whose hands the question now rests.
The August interest was provided for
by drawing upon general account for
$44, 99s. 95, and upon water account for
$l4. 625. or $50, 624.95 in all. County Collec-
tor Hugh Dugan was paid $40. 600 on ac-
count of the 1894 taxes.
IMPROVEMENTS CONQUERED IN.
The resolutions of the Street and Water
Board awarding to Henry & McGivney
the contract for replacing the surface of
the County Road between Griffith and
North streets. John f. Stanley for the
laying of the macadamized road in Ar
lington. Garfield and Bay View avenues,
and Henry Byrne for the improvement
Bergen Road and the Boulevard. were
concurred in.
The contract awarded to the Standard
Oil Company for the furnishing of oil
to the Water Department was also con-
CURED in. The Tune payrolls for the en-
| ployes of Belleville and High Service
Were passed. The resolution of the Board
of Aldermen to return $248 to Kate Mat
thews, who Withdrew her application for
a liquor license after having deposited 1t
| with City Clerk Woolley, was referred
to Corporation Counsel Blair; It is be-
lieved that Mrs. Matthews will have con-
| siderable trouble in securing the return
of her money. The city officials have
never had a similar case to deal with
before.

Special to the jersey City Men


TRENTON, July 20, 1S95.-The sentence
of John Collins, the murderer of Fred
erick Oil, the Princeton student, who
was Thursday night convicted of muir
der in the second degree, has been post
poned until Wednesday, July "a.
It was learned yesterday that the
first ballot taken by the jury Thursday
night stood seven for murder in the
first degree and five for manslaughter;
the second ballot stood eight for the
first degree and four for manslaughter,
and the third ballot was a compromise,
for murder in the second degree.
The jury was notified Thursday night
would only wait until Il o'clock for a
verdict. This the defense claims may
have fastened the verdict against Col
Inns. Should the sentence of Collins
be too severe, in the eyes of the de-
Tense, then application for a new trial
will be made on a writ of error.
A second Indictment for atrocious as
sault and battery upon YOUNG, Cochran
all depends Upon the severity of the
sentence as to whether or not any ac-
ton will be taken in his case.

Jesse warren and His Home.

Our reporter places before the pupHc'
today, some interesting sketches IN con-
nection with the persecution of the
child. Jesse Warren. The picture of the
weeping mother, whose boy has been
sent to grow up amid the ruinous sur
~roundings of a State Reformatory, is
one to make any heart bleed. But 1t
is not on her account only, or even
chiefly, that the Board of Pardons should
act. It is for the sake of the boy him
self and in furtherance of common de-
cency and justice.
Stripped of the eloquence of the bril-
liant and learned Winfield, Invested OF
the passion of those who are revealing
in the qualification of revenge, the case
is just this
Here is a boy of nine years, condemned
to twelve years imprisonment for the
act of throwing a stone.
Is it possible to imagine a more de-
testable injustice?
Twelve years in the Reform School!
Just think of what it means-defcient
education, total lack of home life, total
deprivation of social connections and
habits, total lack of the habit of earn
ing ones bread and holding ones own
among one's fellow men.
What is to become of this boy-torn
from a good home, a o mother,
friends, school. prospects of honorable
manhooda
To a gamin picked from the cutters,
to a boy proven to be of confirmed vi
cious habits after the age of discernment
is reached. the discipline of the Reform
School may be a benefit, it may be even
a comparative salvation.
But to a boy with a home, it is as
suredly comparative, If not absolute,
ruin.
And in this case. how monstrously
undeserved is the penaltyl The act for
which it is inflicted was committed at
an age when a child has no ompre-
hensfon of the facts of life and death,
Or even OIL the nature OIL SERIOUS physician
injury. A boy throws a stone as nat
urally as a puppy worries an old shoe,
and has precisely the same appreciation
of consequences.
But In this case we have the brilliant
and learned Winfield. the leading crimi-
nal jurist of the State, a man whose
name is known from Maine to California,
as historian, orator and jurist, shaking
his locks like an enraged Jove, and full
minating the vengeance of the law
against this trembling, weeping mite and
his broken, weeping mother.
1t is certainly a fine spectacle. 1t is
on a par with Mr.. Roosevelt in New
York, raging for the rigid enforcement
of the law.
A petition to the Board of Pardons Is
being prepared in the interest of this
child. We are waiting with curiosity and
interest to see If the same influences
which have so far been so potently
welded against him will follow him to
that tribunal.

The Board OF Equalization Goes Into
Executive Session.


The labors ofthe County Board of Equali-
cation. as a Board of Appeals, were COM
pleted yesterday, and the work Of equalizing
the tax levy was begun in executive session.
The results of this important proceeding will
be announced July 30. just what the
County Board will do is predetermined. but
it is thought that Hoboken may AVE its
valuations increased by a small percentage
being added. The same thing may be done
in Weehawken.
Early in the session yesterday Pomeroy
Bros, of Harrison, complained that their
real estate in Harrison was assessed for
sc. 500, but admitted the property to be
worth 81. 900. They also complained OF a
valuation of S., 200 on theirpersonal property
in an ink mandatory which they professed
was worth but $1,000 owing to the depres-
sion of business.
William Umsheid, of No. 419 Columbia
Street, Town of Union, complained that his
house and lot in that town had been assessed
for S z. 200. Commissioner Mclean said the
property was worth $4,000. Umsheld also
protested against a valuation Of 500 on
three greenhouses for personal property.
This appeal took the usual course.
T. B. Briggs of Wehawken objected to a
valuation Of 81, 600 on a house and lot that
he said cost him $1,000.
Charles F. Reilly several days ago COM
planned of the assessment on property OF the
Reilly estate in Harrison. Yesterday he at
tended the meeting and breathlessly asked
the Commissioners if he had made a state
ment to the effect that the estate was worth
S120, 900. He was told that there was no
recollection of it.

sAUDEREo FINED AND HELD.

Carminia Saudereo, the italian foreman Of
a gang of laborers at work in the q~uarries
adjoining the City Hospital, was arranged
before Judge Douglass in the Second Crimi-
nal Court yesterday morning.
Saudereo was arrested last Wednesday
evening for not properly covering a blast,
which resulted in serious injury to James
Moore, six years old. The charges against

a violation of the city ordinance. Judge
Douglass fined Saudereo SO, 900 for the latter
charge, and committed him for trial on the

WANTS HIS MONEY BACK.
MIR. Cordts Pleaded Guilty While
Others Escaped.

Furniture Dealer Henry Cordts, of Hobo
ken, who, with a number of other merchants,
was arrested several days ago for blocking
sidewalks in front of their stores, upon com
plant of Street Commissioner Bayer, called
upon Recorder McDonough yesterday after
noon and asked his honor to refund him his
fine, the amount of which is So. Cordts said
it was not so much the money he cared
about as the principle of the thing. He did
not think it was right for him to pay a fine
and the others nothing.
He was the only one who pleaded guilty.
The others waived examination and said
they would fight it out in the courts. Since
then it is learned that Commissioner Bayer
has dropped the case and nothing more
would come of it.

youth. The committee postponed action
