Let the church Re rax.d.

1t is argued that many churches are not
self-suStaining at present, and that to tax
them would render them still less so.
Thousands are less able to provide for
their children because of the tax collector.
Why should the labcrer pay taxes upon
his humble home, and the religious cor
poration be exempted Make all property
bear its just and equal share of taxation
and you lessen the laboring mans burden.
When the w~orkingman feels that his bur-
den is heavier, because the magnificent
possessions of the church are omitted
from the tax roll. do b wonder that the
church loses its power over him?
History is said to repeat itself, and the
United States are on a fair way Of reach

FIRE DEPARTMENT FRICTION.
Trouble in Hoboksn Over the Defeat
of Keating for Freeholder.

Although the last meeting of the Ho-
boken Fire Board was Harmonious" it
is certain that friendly relations do not
exist between certain members of the
Board.
At the last election, it is well known.
the men in the department worked
against Clerk Heating for reelection to
the Board of F~reeholders. Since election
some of the Board have heard complaints
of unfair treatment of the men. Two Of
the Commissioners have an impression
that men whom they have appointed are
being pounded The rules We're never
so vigorously enforced as since election.
1t is said that heretofore cases of drunk
enness We're passed unnoticed, while now
a man IS sent before the Board for wear
ing his coat unbuttoned.
The Mayor has heard of cases of dis
elimination and it is thought that a
general shake-up will soon take place.

Today was boys day in the oakland
avenue court. Six were ~arraigned for
throwing stones and three for assault
and battery. Tire stone fhrowers were
arrested near the roundhousc OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad, at Baldwin and Waldo
avenues. They were members of a gang
of over a dozen who had amused them
selves for several ours breaking win
duSvs in the house and throwing stones
at passenger trains as they passed by.
Johnston Rose, Waterman at the round
house, got the assistance of several en-
CHEERS and train hands and swooped
down upon them. A number of the boys
were light footed and succeeded in maxi
ing their escape. But the six who were
caught fingered around a bon fire and at
tempted to BLUR the men into beliey-
ing that they were innocent.
The men We're not to be sblufred,"
however, and they took the sextette of
youths to the Oakland avenue police sta
ton. They were booked as Philip Hilger,
II years old, of No. 10 Elliott place; Will
lam Galway. II years old. of No. 142 Cot
tage street; Michae Mccormack, IS years

Kelly. L years old, of No. GAG Mercer
street.
Hilger and Dunning admitted they were
throwing stones, but the~other four said
they We're only playing around a bon
ire and We're arrested for nothing at all,
All six We're parofed until December -,
when they will have to call upon Justice
Douglass and give an account OF them
selves. II they AVE not been good boys
in that time they will probably be sent
up to the County Farm for the rest of
their lives.
Justice Douglass has a great deal of
consideration for boys but he is determine
ed to break UP the practice of stone
throwing
The three boys arrested for assault and
battery were Frank Zeck, II years old,
16 years old, of No. 203 New York ave-
nue., and George Stilwell, Is years old, of
No. 951 Palisade avenue.
The complainant against them was
Charles Sternad, 10 years old, of No.
1854 New York avenue. Sternad accused
the boys of having hit him for telling
Principal Hoyt of No. 8 School that they
that the teacher made him tell Mr.. Hoyt.
The bad boys were sent home. but be-
fore they went home they waited outside
the school for Sternad, and when he
came along they sailed into him, so he
alleges, and punched him.
In court this morning the bad boys
said that they never laid hands upon Ster-
mad, and did not know who did, if hi
was hit at all. Justice Douglass post
q, and paroled the youthful prisoners
until then. He made it Saturday be-
cause he did not want the good boy
to lose a day at school.

a SUMMER SOCIAL PARTY.
1t Resulted IN 81 Trial for Cruelty 10
Amtnz

Animals.
The Gates Social Club of Hoboken had
an outing on May 81. They drove out TO
Fort Lee in a big wagon drawn by a team
of horses. One OF the horses belonged to
Henry Ltademan and the other 70 Joseph
McGovern. On the way back they lost
their way and drove down along the Bou-
levard. The entire party was more or
less under the influence of beer. Near
the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge one of
the horses dropped from exhaustion. 1t is
alleged, and had to be killed.
Lindeman was tried in the General Ses-
sions Court this morning for cruelty to
animals.
Richard A. Williams, who lives on the
Boulevard, testified that he saw the crowd
passing his house and he noticed that one
of the horses was exhausted. The driver
was beating him. After going a short dis
tance down the road the wagon turned
the exhausted animal. Mr.. Williams posi-
lively identified the defendant as the
driver.
This was contradicted by the defendant
himself and several of the party. The
defence was that the horse had an attack
Of blind staggers TO which he was subject.
Lindeman drove the team up TO Fort Lee
and Joseph McGoyern drove back The
police killed the horse before the owner
had a chance to revive him. The horse
had had blind staggers before and recov-
cred. After the horse was shot several
of the party were arrested for being
drunk and the next day Judge Douglass
fined them each 81.
Policeman Milburn testified that Linde-
man was drunk. Lindeman declared under
oath that not only he was not drunk, but
THAT he never drank a drop OF liquor in
his life. The defendant was acquitted.
