CAPE MAY. Sept. p, 1ss6.-A young
boy, who gave his name as Charles Kin
ley, was found on the street last night
driving about in a buggy. He could not
give an account of himself in a straight
forward way when questioned. The horse
looked tired and the lad was hungry. He
was white haired and about nine years
of age.
The police took hin to the Mayor, who
gave h boy to the police. The horse
was k care of at a local livery. In
the buggy was found two satchels marked
DR.. Faulkner, Vineland, N. J. The au-
thorities began t~eiegraphing to various
places to trace his identity. The rig
will be sent home today. The boy
was identified later by Mrs. Joseph P.
Henry, as her nephew, Willie Orme. He
had driven from Vineland, forty-fve
miles. Upon investigation it was discov-
cred that DR.. Faulkner had driven up to
his office door in vineland at about
9 O'Clock yesterday morning, and alighting
from his carriage had tied his horse Sc
curely to a post before his Office window
and entered his office. A half hour later
CHANGING to look from the window, he
saw horse and wagon were missing. Sus-
pecting that thieves, who have been
busaiy operating in that vicinity of late,
had stolen his outfit. the Doctor hastily
somlnoned some neighbors and a search
was made, without avail. Nj authori-
ties were notified, and a number of angry
business men, fearful that their own
property might suffer similar treatment,
made up $50 as a reward for the capture
CT the thief.
Constable Nickerson and a number OF
bicyclists started in search of the missing
outfit. The inquiries of the Cape May
authorities sets the matter at rest.

which arose some months ago between
the Mayor and Mr.. Kaiser. Up to the
present time the Mayor has won at every
turn, having practically forced Mr.. Kaiser
and his colleagues to carry out his plans
for continuous smooth-surfaced roadways
throughout the city. The Barber Asphalt
Company will in all probability do all

Residents Of Mercer street were p~articu-
larry delighted a few days ago when the
company's workmen began tearing up the
streets north of Jersey avenue preparatory
to laying asphalt. The work is to be
done with all the speed practicable.

TIDES MADE A NEW CHANNEL.
Special to the Jersey Citu Neus.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. u, 1Ss6.-Jesse
Yates. pilot at the inlet, reports the cut
ting by the recent high tides of a new
channel across the outer bar at the
mouth of the inlet. From soundings
taken by him yesterday the new channel
is ten feet IN depth while the old chan
mel was only eight. The new entrance is
to the eastward of the old one.
1t would be dangerous for any yacht
or vessel to try and enter without a local
seaman to guide her through, owing to
this change. Along the beach the tides
made some change in its contour. Be
tween the two piers uptown the beach
has been broadened, and below the wood
en- pier the beach has been cut away.

MAYOR WINS AGAIN
Board of Finance Sustains
His Position in the
Matter of AS
phalting.
SPECIFIC APPROPRIATIONS MADE
The Smooth Road from the Hill
to the Ferry Now an
Assured Thing.

The Board of Finance at its meeting
last night put the finishing touches on
the fight Mayor Wanser made against
Street and Water Commissioner John I.
Kaiser relative to the use of the liquor
street repair purposes. When Mr.. Kaiser
~d.sregarded the Mayer's $ wishes and desig-
mated Pacific avenue and Bergen Square
to be paved with asphalt there was trouble
in the Official household. TIL Mayors
veto of that designation made the feeling
more intense and for a long time it was
expected that the Mayor would tie up
every dollar of the liquor license money
until a new Street and Water Board was
elected.
The Mayor was and has been anxious
to have Mercer street asphalted to the
Hill, and he was also DESTROYS of having
an asphalt cycle path laid from the ferry
to connect with the Mercer street asphalt.
He arrived at the conclusion that he
could expect no assistance from Com
missioner Kaiser in the consummation of
his plans and accordingly he requested
Corporation Counsel Blair to look up the
law regulating the use of that portion of
the liquor license fund available for
special street purposes.
Mr.. Blair informed the Mayor through
the Board Of Finance that the Board of
Finance not only had the power to appor-
tion the liquor license monies, but also to
map out the work which would have to
be paid for out of that fund.
Acting on that advice the Finance Com
missioners last night set aside TO the
credit of the special street account $4,000
That sum of money is to be used for no
other purposes than the f~ollowing:-As-
phalting of Bright street from Jersey
avenue to Barrow street; Mercer street,
from Henderson street to Merseles street;
Henderson street. from Mercer street to
York street; York street. from Henderson
street to Hudson street; Montgomery

nue., Third street. from Coles street to
Newark avenue; to be paved with Belgian
block: First street, from Newark avenue
10 Brunswick street; Second street, from
Brunswick street to Monmouth street
In addition to the $4,000 the Street and
Water Commissioners are given $500
which must pay for all supplies and labor
wh:ch may be necessary in making tht
above improvements. The money mus
last the Commissioners until December ]
The action of the Board OF Finance II

SERVED E D RIGHT.
But the Dog That He Kicked Wa
Killed All the Same.

A stray yellow dog, that symbol of hard
luck. wandered into the cellar of Fred
erick Eyeth's house on Summit avenue,
near Leonard street, yesterday afternoon.
and proceeded TO rack the nerves of the
Inhabitants by a series of whining yelps.
Young Freddie Eyeth, Jr., was sent
into the cellar to drive IT out, but the
animal was not to be driven, and when
Freddie went to kick it the mongrel bit
him in the leg.
Then there was more yelling, as the
combined noises of the dog and the kid
made such a h~ullabaloo that the entire
neighbcrhood was aroused.
Some one ran for Officer Brandt and he
soon arrived on the scene and put an
end to the poor yellow dog by tapping it
over the head a few times with his billy.
Freddie was attended by a doctor who
cauterized the bite. 1t is NOT thought
that the dog lar rabies.

of the Cehansey Glass Manufacturing

night and was considerably dam

matches and it is supposed to have been
caused by mice.

THE UBIQUITOUS CYCLE.

1t circles the globe with its winding track,
1t binds it in bands OF STEEL
Through favoring winds or the tempests rack,
This ever revolving wheel.
Though the winds blow high, or the winds blow
low,
Though the storm blasts rave and reel,
1t spins now fast now slow,
The circulating wheel.
From the coasts where the wild Atlantic pours
Its waves on the cyclers' lands,
To the ocean wastes where the albatross scars
Ger the far Pacific strands;
By the silent waters of inland lakes
From the East to the Golden Gate;
Where the shimmering light Of the Day God
breaks
On the peaks of the Silver State;
Mid Arctic SHOWS, under Indian skies,
Where Ceylon's soft zephyrs steal;
Past the solemn sphynx with its stony eyes,
Flies ever the turning wheel.
And wherever the human pulse beats strong
The cyclers joy to feel,
Shall be sung to the world the wondrous song,
The song of the whirling wheel.

What this earth's fame is worth is
well shown in an attack made on Sen
ator John Sherman by newspaper i'll
Spain, very prominent newspaper at
that, The Impartial. The wise and
knowing impartial editor declares that
Senator Sherman used to be a slave
trader himself, and that he only wants
Cuban independence so that the glories
of the slave trade may be revived on
that island. For a man who has in his
veins old blue abolition blood, who was
one of the founders of the Republican
party, who is besides so well to do in
this worlds goods that he would not
need to enrich himself by the slave
trade or otherwise, a man who is known
i'll Europe and America as a venerable
statesman and lifelong friend of the
emancipation and progress Of the black
man, this is rather good.

The Cuban patriots are now stronger
than ever they were before. The late
successful blockade trimmings from this
country have given them plenty Of arms,
ammunition and men. Like the Confed-
crates during our civil war, they have
learned the art Of living off the country
they pass through. Spain, on the con-
trary, is growing weaker every day.
