Ell HammOnd's BOndsmen Are
Liable for $4,000
SUPREME COURT OPINION
A Mistake in the Synopsis TeIegraphe d
Down Sunday Morning
Nothing Statement Of the De-
fnulter's Account

The opinion of the supreme court in
the case of the people against the bonds
men of Ell Hammond was received at the
Office of the clerk IN this city yesterday
for filing. A very brief synopsis was
sent down by the Associated Press, which
appeared in The Herald's telegraphic col
umns Sunday morning. to the effect that
the bondsmen had been held liable for
S7s6l.SG. This is a mistake, as by the
opinion the bondsmen are held liable for
the full amount of the defalcation, $12.-
963.Si, with interest from November I,
1887, and costs of suits. which will bring
the amount up to approximately $4,000.
Judgment for the amount was given by
the lower court, which judgment and
order have been affirmed.
At the expiration of Hammond's first
term, on January 3, 1887, Hammond was
defaulter in the amount of $786l.86,
which moneys were collected by him as
tax collector during mis- first term OF
office upon the general tax roll = that is.
said sum was not only paid out, but was
not in his hands as tax collector in any
form, the same having been appropri-
ated to his own use. Hammond held
said office continuously from the time he
nrS5 entered upon II IN January. 1000,
until about March 81. 1887, when he alb
seconded. At the beginning OF his second
term the delinquent tax list for the fiscal
year. 1867 was delivered to Hammond
for collection, and he was then charged
with the amount thereon, $780, 0l6.54. On
January %, 1887, the county auditor
served upon him the Following demands
ITO e. Hammond, Taxa Collector you
will at once pay into the treasury $751;.
SO in settlement of the general taxes.
On January "a, 1887. Hammond paid over
to the treasurer the sum of $786l.S6. but
the money SO paid was money collected
by him upon said delinquent tax list
during his second term, that IS to say.
after January 8. 1887. The court found
the following to be a statement of the
condition of Hammond's account for the
second term:

Where Water Runs Up MI.

Mr.. Maradin explained how water
would run up hill in the state of New
York. He touched an electric bell,
and messenger was sent for chart
that would prove what he was to say.
This happens every day in the
Hudson river" he began. You will
see by this chart of the tides that
when it is low water at Governors
island it Is high water at Poughkeep-
sic and low water at Albany. There
is full undulation, like long
mountain wave, which the water of
that historic river climbs over and
flows down again. 1t happens this
way: When it is slack water in the
Hudson, or low tide, this extends up
10 miles. Then the flood tide rushes
in from the ocean. and when it.
reaches the mouth of the river dives
under the fresh water. The salt wa
ter is more dense of course and lifts
all the water in the Hudson bodily
on its surface. To an observer it
still appears to he ebb tide, and the
river Is running up an incline for n
considerable portion of the distance
to head of tide water"
Mr.. Maradin was saying that the
condition was the same in the East
river, when summons came from
the Office that ono Of the scientists
wished to confer with him, and tho
party of photographers broke up
Washington Post.

when the woman brought in the

She didn't look as if anything unu-

the situation and gave her her own
watch instead. That was what she
wanted. Next day the husband came

never knew the difference. You see,
they had hidden their tickets in the
