Uncle Zoe Wslls' UnSsrtunses Experienos

Uncle Joe WellS Unforeuneeo Experseooe
- First Mate.
Many of the annual visitors to French
Lick Springs know old Uncle Joe Wells,
tho veteran village blacksmith, but there
are few II any Of them who know that
when Joe was q ysung man be "follered
boatin" and was deckhand on the river.
Among the boats that Joe worked on In
che early days was little stern wheel boat
called the Vulture. Upon one occasion the
mate of the Vulture took sick, and the
captain appointed Joe to take bis place,
and Joe was proud OF his promotion. One
night, coming out of Green river, the Vul-
ture was hailed to land and take on eight
hogsheads of tobacco. She was short,
narrow, light, stern wheel boat, with only
one boiler, and that located about the mid
die of the boat. She rounded to, stuck her
nose into the bank, and the gaDgplanks
were run out. The deckhands, headed by
Joe, rolled the tobacco aboard and left it
In a single row, reaching from the head Of
the boiler to the capstan. The captain was
somewhat surprised that the eight hogs
heads rolled on the head end of his little
boat didn't make her draw much more
water than when she landed. The captain
rang the bell, the plank was pulled in,
ana the Nulture commenced backing to
get away from the bank. Joe and the crew
put pole out against tho bank and
showed.
Here she goesp' shouted Joe, and he
hardly yelled before she gave backward
Jump. Her head went down in 20 feet of
water; the stern few up in the air; the
wheel, still spinning, went out on the
bank. The tobacco held her head down
and kept her stern sticking up out of the
water 40 feet and every man on her was
either thrown ashore or had to swim to
the bank. Joe had to swim, and soon as
he climbed the bank he started for French
Lick on foot and has never steamboated
any since. Joe had let the boats head rest
on big rock while he rolled the tobacco
on board, and with the tobacco on her
bow end and the stern being light she
naturally made dive for the bottom

through his influence in the Board of

through his influence in the Board Of
Estimate.
This board is constituted like the
board in the present city Of New York,
differing from that in Brooklyn in that
the latter includes the Mayor, the Comp
troller, the City Auditor, the President
of the Board of Aldermen and the Coun-
ty Treasurer. Each of these men has
heretofore been elected by the people
and each has been independent of the
Mayor.
In the greater city the Board of Esti-
mate will consist Of the five men whose
offices correspond to the five who now
constitute it in New York, as follows:
The Mayor, the Comptroller, the Presi-
dent of the Council, the President of the
Tax Board and the Corporation COun-
sci, the last two to be appointed by the
Mayor.
If the Mayor desires to exercise all
the power which the charter confers on
him he may chose a Corporation Coun-
sci and Tax Department President who
will respect his wishes. OF course, six
months after their appointment the
Mayors right to remove them ceases
and they become Independent.
DEPENDS ON APPOINTMENTS.
But the Mayor may choose whether he
shall appoint men likely to assert their
independence, as Mayor Strong did in
the appointment of the New York Po-
lice Board, or whether he shall appoint
men on whom he can depend
The lesson taught by the wrangling
Police Commissioners of the present city
will unquestionably be taken advantage
of by the incoming MayOr
The remaining two members Of the
board, who get their warrants from the
people to appropriate the hundreds Of
millions of public moneys, will be power
less against a combination composed of
the Mayor and his appointees in the
board.
Notwithstanding the safeguard which
the Mayors combination may exercise
over the peoples money, there is fur
Their safeguard in that the annual bud
get made up by the Board of Estimate
must be approved by the Municipal As
sembly before the money appropriated
may be used, but the Assembly has no
power to increase a single item, while il
it cut any appropriation, or reduces it,
the Mayor alone, without consultation
with his colleagues in the Board Of Es-
innate, may veto the action of the AS
sembly. His veto returns the budget to
the form it had when it left his hands,
and his veto may not be overridden eX-
cept by a fve-sixths vote of the two
Chambers of Assembly sitting together.
Under the charter Mayor of Greater
New York is ineligible for reelection
for the next succeeding term OF four
years.

SALARY LIST IN THE MILLIO

This annual salary list Of nearly half
a million dollars is for heads OF de-
partments only, not including that of
the Mayor, nor of the Comptroller and
other officers who were elcted yesterday.
Nearly all of the long list of the
Mayors appointees will have under their
absolute control a small army Of Off
Gals receiving salaries ranging from
$4,000 down to $500 Q year, while an
other army of employees will be ap-
ointed by the appointees Of the Mayors
appointees, and the salary lists Will run
way up into the millions.
While the members OF the Board OF
Education draw no salary, there VIII
be spent under the boards direction
more than $10,000,000 a year. Then
there is the Art Commission, the six
members of which give their services
free, but they win spend about S500,O0O
n year. and the Civil Service Board, an
ether branch giving away their time to
the city will be able to spend in the
neighborhood of $4,000 year while
playing an important part in the selec-
ton of the army of employees of the
greater city's various departments.
TREMENDOUS POWER OF MAYOR
The power of the Mayor is not lin
tied to appointing heads of departments
and to vetoing resolutions Of the Mu-
ncipal Assembly, but the charter has
made him responsible for the organlza-
+, ton of the executive force.
The charter has also provided for the
| continuance of the Mayors Influence
over all the departments Of the city
government by putting into his hands
the keys to the treasury. This Is mol
done directly, but by vesting him with
indirect control, which can be exer'
cised by him over all appropriations

Mayor-elect Van Wyck, chosen to be
the first executive of the Greater New
York, will take office on January LIST,
next, and he viii hold that office for
our years, instead of three years, Mayor
Strong's term.
The Mayors salary under the new
charter is $4,000 year. 1t is not
likely that the new Mayor will follow
the example Of former Mayor Hewitt,
who, after his defeat of Henry George,
forwarded two checks of $4,000 each
one to Tammany Hall and the other to
the County Democracy-assuming that
the Mayors salary was $4,000 a year,
intending to donate in advance his two
years salary to the political parties
electing him. His salary turned out to
be only $4,000 a year, however, SO he
was out of pocket $4,000.

JENKS COURT MARTIAL.
Findings of the Court Officially
Transmitted to General
Warfeld.
Seals of the Document Will Not Be
Broken Until the Day After
Thanksgiving.

The findings of the National Guard
court-martial in the Captain jerks case
were officially transmitted yesterday TO
Brigadier- General R. H. Warti Id, Second
Brig ,de. The document was SO beauti-
fully sealed and so magniticently envel-
oped in m ilitary style that the general de-
cided not to break the seals until after
Thanksgiving.
When the formal opening occurs to-
morrow Major NJ. a. Dorm, judge-advo-
cate, will assist the brigade commander
in the task of revealing The inclosed find
ings. Nj awhile the late of Captain
jerks. the accused officer, hangs in the
balance. and his suspense will not be re-
ieved until Thanksgiving turkey is Iii
ge.te ell along ne line.
From the best information o5taina ble it
is believed tha the findings OF the court
are TO the effect that Captain Jenks Is
guilty OF neg ect of duty, di obedience Of
orders and conduct pre- lulicla to good or
der and military dlsclpune. Some OF the
friends OF the accused insist tat the sc n
tence j. a term of suspension couuIed
with censure. In military circles ii is
said that the court recommends the dis
nissal OF the captain from the service.
General Wartieli said last night that he
had no information as 10 he findings and
would not have official knowledge of the
contents of the envelope until the day
after THANKSGIVING.
