OFFICIAL STRIFE At AN END.

Ffpancfers and Street and Water
Com msnfssfoners to Hold a Conference
The strife between the Finance Board
and Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners in relation to the turning over
of the license monies is about at an end.
President w. f. Midlige, of the Board of
Aldermen and ex-offieio member of the
Finance Board acted as the go-between
this morning and as a result of his labors
the Boards will have conference on
Thursday afternoon next to patch up their
difficulties.
The trouble has been that the Finance
Board won't turn over the 100000 from
the license monies because they contend
that the Street and Water Board should
tell them what they propose to do with it;
on what improvements it shall be ex-
pended and in word how they mean to
spend it.
On the other hand the Street and Water
Commissioners say; None Of your busi-
ness. All you have to do is to turn over
the money. 1t is our business to spend it. "
1t is said that morally and from a busi-
ness point the Finance Board is right, be-
cause the more check on the city's monies
the better. From a legal point it is claimed
they are all wrong. Pending this dis
pute claims and work in the street and
water departments were hung up. Now
however. the Commissioners will come
together and settle the contention.

A novel Improvement in baking has

bakers of Berlin. which is the natural
consequence of the increasing tendency to
employ hygienic methods in every trade
dealing with food and food supplies. While
rolls have long been delivered in paper
bags to customers, 1t has always been the
rule to handle bread with the fingers,
each loaf going through a number of
hands before delivered at the customers
door. there to be received by the bare, Of
ten not too-clean, fingers of the servant
The recent Improvement. which has been
covered by patents. consists of using pa
per bags the exact shape of the various
sizes of bread turned out by baker.
These bags are open at both ends, and,
being slightly longer than the loaf, the
ends are turned together with twist as
the loaf is showed from the oven straight
into the bag. The cover will protect the
bread from any pollution after it leaves
the oven, for It is kept In the paper bag
not only while being handled in the bak-
cry and by lle2deIisery man. but it can

ROYAL SOVEREIGN COURT MARTIAL
Complaints Proved TO BE Exaggsr

IBy Cable to The Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 10, 1Ss7..-The
court martial yesterday of two seamen
of the British battleship Royal Sovereign
developed the fact that the complaints
made were greatly exaggerated. The
prisoners tried pleaded guilty of gross IN
subordination and of striking their OFF,
GERS One of them was sentenced to
years penal servitude and the other was
condemned to receive twenty-four lashes
and to undergo three months penal servi-
tude. Both of the seamen were dismissed
from the service.
The Daily Mall of London, circulated
story to the effect that the relations
between several officers of the Royal Sow
ereign and the seamen of that vessel had
been severely strained. The seamen were
said to have declared that they We're
suffering from variety of very serious
grievances, and especially from the de-

the Royal Sovereign being about to sail
for three years service with the British
Mediterranean Squadron. Fifty men were
said to have deserted, all the cells on
board the Royal Sovereign were reported
to be full of prisoners, and it was added
that the supply of irons on board the
batteship was not sufficient for the large
number of men who were undergoing
punishment.

Died TN GREAT AGONY
Foster B. Chidester Slowly
Choked to Death by a
CaTbunC1e.
HOW THE DISEASE ORIGINATED
None of His Family Present When
Death Relieved bis
suferings.
HOW THE DISEASE ORIGINATED

Foster B. Chidester, of No. 306 OIean
avenue, died in terrible agony early yes
terday morning. He was literally choked
to death by a large carbuncle, from
which he had been suffering two weeks.
A number of his friends and neighbors
were with him in his dying moments.
Among those present were Mrs. Sturgis,
his next door neighbor. Jackson r,
Baker and two or three others.
They say that the sight of the otherwise
strong and healthy man struggling to
gain his breath which was little by little
choked out of him. was awful. The
memory of the sight will live with them
always. DR.. Theodore r. Hornblower, Of
No 631 Bergen avenue, who attended Mr..
Chidester during his illness. was with
him when he died He could do nothing
sfor him. To reporter for THE News
Dr. Hornblower described the disease
which ended Mr.. Chidesters life
as follows:-"He suffered from an
anthrax, situated on his neck and in
volving both his shoulders and his head
and completely closing his aesophagus and
larynx."
In plain words he died of carbuncle-
1t first appeared back of his right ear two
weeks ago. Gradually growing and work
ing itself toward the throat it finally suc-
ceeded in completely closing the wind
pipe. None of Mr. Chidesters immediate
family were with him when he died His
two sons are in business in North Dakota
and Mrs. Chidester is visiting them.
His daughter May, as was told on
August 8. was with her mother in North
Dakota, but returned to this city without
her fathers knowledge and was quietly
married to ]. Pray and went to live with
her husband at No. 153 Montgomery
street. Mr.. Chidester was very angry at
the marriage as he had from the first
opposed the match, but he relented and
died fully reconciled to his daughter She
was with him the day preceding his death
but did not arrive yesterday morning
until after he had died. Mr. Chidester
was about sixty years old. He was the
proprietor and manager of the Jersey City
Planning and Milling Company and was
well known in business circles.

THE ARMoR PLATE STEAL.
Expert Goes Back on the Highly
Protected Infant Industry.

READING, Pa, Aug. 10, lS97.-J. H.
Carpenter, founder of the Carpenter Steel
Works, this city of which he was former
ly general manager, has prepared state
ment showing that steel armor plate can
be furnished to the government at a
trifiing figure compared with what is now
being paid. Mr. Carpenter is well known
steel expert and inventor and was for
merly in the United States navy. The
Carpenter Steel Works, from which Mr..
Carpenter has retired have, up to this
time. furnished the government with
nearly 81 100000 worth Of projectiles, and
a s5Oo,O0o order is now being filed. His
price is so far below the government
limit of $500 ton that the Bethlehem and
Carnegie Company's say they cannot meet
with their harveyized nickel-steel plates
as to occasion the armor plate board
much surprise.
Mr.. Carpenter claims that by new pneu-
matte processes steel of the best physical
properties and chemical conditions can
be uniformly made and much waste avoid
ed plant can be built for less than
half the money, and the steel can be made
and cast in quarter of the time now re-
quired. Experts in steel and Government
inspectors of manufacture seem satisfied
of the value Of the processes and his abil-
ity to perform his promises. His esti-
mates of cost have been compared with
the cost sheets forwarded to Congress
by the Examining Board, and are found
to agree, except where less work is done.
His reports set forth that because
Of few very large plates that must
be made, the plant must be much
more extensive than would be re-
uuired for the general average
Of plates AS the plant for manufacture
would be used only a small portion of
the year on armor plate. 1t could at other
times be utilized in the production of
projectiles. gun and carriage forgings
and the many kinds of castings now re-
uuired in making ordnance. These grades
Of steel can be made at a cost ranging
from one to three cents per pound
Originally, Mr.. Carpenters plans were
to organize and equip the works himself.
but now he concludes to give the option
to the government. II it is declined he
says he will organize his own company
and sell the armor plate at $3.50 per ton
allowing $50 for profit and contingencies.
The Board has written him that It will
be ready to consider his proposals in a
few days

ROW OVER HARMON ST.
Fieken Improved It Himself and
Left His Neighbors
High and Dry.

There is trouble over the grading OF
portion of Harmon street by John Ficken
livery stable keeper at Harmon street
and Arlington avenue. Ficken is some
what of an autocrat, and is constantly IN
hot water with his neighbors. He says
he is more public spirited than they are
while they claim that he is crank, .
and cannot tolerate his idiosyncrasies
Harmon street was never graded by the
city. 1t began at Arlington avenue TO
slope gradually upward until it reached
the grade of Crescent avenue, which IS
over four feet higher than Arlington ave-
nue. The street was uneven and full OF
rocks, making it difficult for Ficken to
reach his stables.
Ficken didn't like this so he decided to
get the street graded He could not get
his neighbors to petition the city to grade
and pave it in the regular way, as they
feared high assessments which they did
not feel able to pay. Even Seth Babcock,
the man who owns the property across
the street from Fcken's, would not agree
to pave the portion of the street in front
of his land. Ficken tried while to get
his neighbors to go into the paving
scheme with him and then he decided to
go it alone He therefore applied to the
City Engineer and says he received per-
mission of him to grade and pave his part
of the street at his own expense and by
private contract.
He set his men to work several weeks
ago. They completed the job today. They
dug the street away until they reached
the alleged grade, the length of Ficken 5
property and then they ceased. The re-
suit is that they have made the street
impassable beyond that point. Where
Ficken's property Nends, Harmon street
is three feet higher than it is
at Arlington avenue.
The result is that Ficken's men have
left bank three feet high which stops
any wagons which may attempt to pass
up the street while those coming, down
it after nightfall are apt to fall that
distance. No lights are placed on the
embankment at night to warn strangers
who may be driving that way
When Ficken started the work his
neighbors expostulated with him, but he
must be wrong regarding. the. grade,
which, If it were continued to Crescent
avenue, would leave that thoroughfare
nearly four feet above Harmon street.
with the, result already related. The situ-
alton would be ludicrous if it were not for
the serious results which may accrue
from it. If person should be thrown
from the embankment they would have
excellent grounds for suit against Mr..
Ficken When interviewed on the sub
ject Mr.. Ficken said
THE grade is right. 1t was fixed by
Mr.. Van Keuren of the Street and Water
Board. l have a permit to go on with
along the street are complaining, but I
can't help that They must accept the
grade fixed by the city authorities. This
grade conforms with Arlington avenue"

PLUMBER Or REVENGE.
theories as TO the Motive for the
Wilson Murder-PoIiee at Ses.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19, 1S97.--Arous-
ed by their utter failure to obtain clue
to the murderers of Major William G.
Wilson, the aged and eccentricr hbrari-
an, the entire machinery of the Police
Department has been set to work in the
hope of learning something which will
finally land the guilty one or ones in
iail Theories are plentiful but as yet
none of them seems to have made the
detection of the criminals nearer. The
general opinion is that the motive for
the crime was anger at being caught
robbing the place and the fear of be-
ing arrested as consequence. Those
who hold this opinion believe that Will
son knew the thief.
Others however, hold that the evidences
of robbery were simply a blind to cover
the real object, the murder of the old
man through revenge. Many who believe
this also think there was woman in the
case. but those familiar with the old man,
place no faith in such a story. Mean
while the police are running out all
theories in the hope of stumbling across
clue. Everybody who knew or as
sociated with Wilson for years past has
been locked up and questioned, and there
is no doubt that the finger of suspicion
has been pointed at several of his, present
and one Of his recent employees, but the
police say that none is under suspicion at
present.
Yesterday and last night, but in each case
the prisoners was discharged. The only
hope nov. Is that the offer OF Sls9V0 re-
ward made by the city and $l000 each
by TWO local newspapers, may cause some
one having knowledge Of the guilty. ones
