South COVE Graf.
Board Of Trade Claims Credit
for Recovering the Valu-
able Property, sa /

StH .fEET+
There were only. six members OF the
Board of Trade present at the closing
meeting of the. season held last night
when President corceran called the df-
rectorss meeting. which, preceded It, to
order. While waiting for sufficient to form
a quorum for that preliminary gathsrifig
Mr.. 'Myrem J. Furst started a discussion
on bicycles and the exercise in lodging
them 1t afforded unwary citizens. From
this subject the conversation strayed into
free silver, and Messrs. w. J.. TAFT, r.
r. Anderson and President Corcoran were
deep in that financial problem when
Messrs. Joseph A. Dear. II. w. Carr and
c. G. Jewell came in, and then the direct
ors got. down to business, clearing up bills
and d.sposing OF other pressing matters.
At half-past eight o'clock the directors
went into the general Board room to wait
again for the arrival of three members
to form a necessary quorum for the open
Board meeting as laid down in the con-
stituticn.
Pour passer lie temps someone started
the South Cove case. and what would the
city do with the lands Mr.. Dear thought
that Jersey City must improve the pro-
perty.
Mr.. Humphrey Carr entertained the
small group with the history OF the pro-
perty and incidentally mentioned that
Mr.. w. D. Edwards had prodded Mr.. Max
well as to the c~ompany's fee in the land.
Subsequently it was discovered that the
deed from the Riparian Board clearly
gave the city an equity in the property,
AID hence the present suit SO successfully
terminated.
Mr.. Dear was of opinion thai the mat
ter came up because of the attempt of the
Central Railroad Company to sell the lots
On the tract. The question of the title of
the company was subm tied. he said, to
Lawyer Voorhees, of Camden, whose opin-
ion gave the first clue. The company re-
opinion and stopped the improving of the
property. Then. ne said, the city gave a
bond.
TT would never nave been lone had it
not been for this Board" said Mr.. H. w
Carr, and after this surprising statement,
Mr.. c. c.. Jewell followed the lead by say
ing
port we shall place that recovery of South
Cove to Jersey CITY to the credit OF the
Board of Trade"
The most important remark made DUR
ing the informal talk was that of Presi-
lent Corcoran, who -nnounce that Mayor
WanSer had informed him that track ele-
walton was a certainty.
Mr. Jewell then suggested better Pub
lie School accommodation, and after more
desultory conversation on every subject
under the sun, President Corcoran adj
ourned the meeting because of the alb
sence of a quorum. He had just given the
gavel a tap when Assemblyman John w.
Queen in full bicycle bloomers and his
wheel came in.
If your wheel counted one we might
have a meeting" said Mr.. Dear amid
some laughter as the members left the
room.

NO WATER FOR THE SAILORS.
Dry Dock Men Won't Let the Reserves
Tap Their Mains.

The Naval Reserves stationed on the
sloop-of-wlr Portsmouth. moored at Four
tenth street, Hoboken, are much worked
up over their inability to secure a supply
of water upon the ship. They can get all
the fresh water they want, but have to
go oyer 800 yards up Fourteenth street
to the nearest hydrant.
Captain Hart has made several efforts
to obtain permission from the dry dock
companies in the immediate vicinity Of
the Portsmouth to tap Their private water
mains, but neither Mccarthy Brothers
nor Tietien & Lang. the dry dock men,
viii alloy their pipes to be tapped. Nc
Carthy Brothers, however. will consider
the idea for $500, and let the sailor boys
lave all the water they want. 1t is under
stood that the city will also allow the
Reserves to tap the mains in fourteenth
street. but in that case 1t would involve
al expenditure of over 5000 for the laying
of a PIPE from the main to the ship, Mr..
Hart, says that they cannot afford. to
spend that much money as the State has
not appropriated any for that use. Until
something is done to relieve them the
boys will still have to carry their water
from Fourteenth stree.

Of P. H. Hanley's Safe
Robbery Solved Burned
Some Of the Money.

The mystery attending the robbery of
the safe in p. II. Hanley's furniture
store, adjoining the City Hall, on Newark
avenue, has finally been solved, and the
pefpetrator of the crime arrested. Mr..
Hanley, it will be Remembered, reported
to Chief Murphy on Tuesday morning,
the 9Th inst. that a box containing
$252.50 was stolen from his safe during
the previous night. and that whoever
took the money must have known the
combination OF the safe, as it was not
broken open, but on Tuesday morning
Was locked as it was left on Monday
night.
Five OF Mr.. uanley's employees knew the
combination, II of course they together,
with all the employees Of the store, We're
put under surveillance by Detectives
Doyle and Dalton, who were put ON the
case by Chief Murphy.
Suspicion rested most strongly upon
who has been in Mr.. Hanley's employ
about three years. He is t%wenty-three
years old and boarded at No. 213 Fifth
street. He vas arrested at that time
and held for twenty-four hours, but no
evidence sufficient to warrant his fur
Their detention was found and he was
discharged, and at the suggestion of the
Chief, MIR. Hanley took him bach into
his employ.
The detectives were kept on the case
and were rewarded by finding a man who
saw Kennedy on Grove street at mid
night of the day of the crime, when
Kennedy had declared to the Chief that
he was not out of his boarding house
from seven o'clock on Monday night to
seven O'Clock on Tuesday morning. On
this statement OF the man the detectives
were ordered to again arrest Kennedy
| and did 50 today.
He was taken TO the Chiefs office and
confronted with this evidence, and after
halt an hours interview he admitted tnat
he was guilty and told how he commit
ted the crime.
He sad he entered the store by geing
through the City Hall to the roof; thence
to the roof of Hanley's building and de-
scended through the skylight, going out
with his plumber the same way. He
took the detectives to his boarding house
and there gave them $107 Of the stolen
money. The balance. he says, he burned,
with the exception of about $40 in silver,
which he threw down the closet in the
back yard.
Kennedy was committed on a charge of
burglary and will be held for the Grand
Jury.
Mr.. Hanley is pleased to nave the case
cleared UP, especially for the sake of the
other employees who knew the combina-
ton of the safe, all of them having been
in his employ man years, possessing his
utmost confidence, as the arrest and ac-
acknowledgement of Kennedy entirely re-
lleyes them of all suspicion.

BURLINGTON, June II. 1S9S.-Jussice
Dixon OF the Supreme Court, at Trenton
yesterday, rendered a decision in the
case against the Board Of Excise Com
m~issioners of this city in which the pro-
ceedings Of the Board to grant certain
licenses are set aside.
The board had granted licenses to
George Wells, Thomas s, Wells and
Hays q. Falkenharg to kesp an 5nn and

gains them on the< aground that they
kept saloons and should not be granted
an inn and tavern license. It was sub
no legal right to grantz-any license on
account of the effectiveness of the or
dinsanee under whiah they were granted.
There Is considerable u~neasiness among
other liquor dealers who were. granted
licenses by the same board ade the

Want MORE PA9ROLMBN
Chief Murphy Shows the Police
Board the Needs Of His
Department.

Chief of Police Murphy made a strong
appeal to the Police Commissioners yes
sterday for the appointment of at least
four more men to each precinct. The
increase asked is twenty-e.ght men,
which. the Chief believes, would greatly
enhance the efficiency of the department
There are territories, he explained,
which it is now almost practically inn
possible to properly patrol owing to an
inadequate number of men.
In Newark, where there is a population
Of 2l5,OO0, the police force number 272;
Detroit, population 205, 900, police force
1892; Washington, D.. c., population 200 LOCO,
police force 1870; Providence, population
$4,000. police force 233. and Jersey City,
population $50. 1000, police force 220. The
Chief says with twenty-four additional
men be would be able to have all parts
of the city well patroiled. day and night.
The request was only filed, because the
Commissioners cannot at this time see
their way clear to appoint so many men.
The appropriations this year have to be
kept down to the narrowest margin and
the Commissioners say they know it
would be impossible to get a sufficient
sum to pay SO many new men. They
agree with the Chief that the force
should be increased, but they have de-
cided to ask the Board of Finance to
make provision for only five new men.
The Boards budget has been made up
and is as follows
Salaries $3i7, 324
Claims. 26. $50
Hospitals -. ........ ....... 20.090
Pensions. ....... ......... ........ 1902
Five extra patrolmen. .......... 1905
Total...- ........ ................. SAP, 316
The appropriations last year aggre-
gated $40S, S66. The force at present is
deaths and designations. The salary APP
preparation each year is made up for
the full force. If that custom is followed
out this year it is probable that some
time in july the force Will be brought
up to the regular lumber. If this is
done more men viii be at the Chiefs
disposal, but even then not a sufficient
number to patrol the outlying districts
as he desires.
The Board of Finance may consider The
budgets of appropriations tonight. Be-
fore making the appropriations, however,
the various boards will be given an
opportunity to explain their estimates.
Frank Caprio applied for appointment
on the force. He was recommended by
Mayor Wauser, Justice Potts, Henry
Gruber, Max Salinger and others. Appii-
schlutter, August W. steuber, Phillip
Burrows and Robert j. Crawford. Fred
erick Guenthal asked for special police
powers in order to act as a Waterman
in the n~eighborhood of Central avenue.
Inspector Foley of the Police Telegraph
System, asked that a third wire be ex-
tended in the Third precinct. The pre-
cinct wires are rendered almost useless
owing to induction resulting from the
heavily charged electric light wires in
the precinct,
