MRS. KELLY's LOST WATCH.

Mrs. Mary Kelly, of No. 1853 Thirteenth
street, this city, went to Hoboken yester-
and gave her friend Henry Meyer,
of Grand and Henderson streets, a
gold watch. She asked him to leave it
al a jewelry shop to be repaired. Henry
Meyer was slightly under the influence Of
LIQUOR at the time, and subsequently he
was lead drunk. He met John Zang, Of
No. 707 First street, Hoboken, a black
smith. and, it is alleged, he gave him the
watch. Mrs. Kelly later heard of the
transaction and she had Meyers arrested
When it was ascertained that Gang had
the watch and refused to turn it over, he,
too. was arrested. Recorder McDonough
placed both men under bail to appear for
examination. The watch was not re-
turned.

canning factories are doing little business
in packing tomatoes on account of the
failure of that crop. From this cause
the farmers have lost considerable, but
it will be made up on other crops that
are plentiful and which are commanding
a good price. Peaches have turnd out
well, but the melon crop is backward on
account of the fruit yielding from the
second blossoms, the first having been
damaged by wet weather.

omeial Bencit Figures.

The official figures of the Dingley de-
felt for August are now available. The
total is s14, 564, 4SS, the largest deficit for
any one month in twenty years. This
with prosperity, not merely in sight, but
arrived
The revenue for the month from all
sources was $40, 023, GA. This is $40, 1908, $50
less than the revenue for July and Sc, 1885,
4S2 less than that of August, 1896.
The August disbursements also were
less than those of 1896; but they were
greater than those of August, 1895, 1894
n 1893. The appropriations for the entire
year, now current, are some twenty-four
millions higher than those of 1896.
The deficit for August is equal to about
one-third of the entire sum, viz. forty
million dollars, which Chairman Dingley
thought would be lost through antici-
patory importations.
The Dingley advocates claim that after
a month or two the revenue win begin to
catch up with the expenditures. To this.
it may be replied that the payments in
January are yet to be faced. while the
sources from which any material increase
of revenue is to come. are not obvious.
