March 8, 1881. At IA years OF age he
began life as a clerk In a country store.
He later associated himself with an
older brother In the cabinet making
business at Albion. He came to Chicago

tire blocks a number OF feet to bring
them up to new street grades. While

Cured to him there was field for
building comfortable sleeping coaches.
From 1859 to 1863 he made a series OF
experiments on the Chicago & Alton
and Galena roads. From these exper-
iments he worked out detailed plans. a
work shop was rented, skilled mechan-
les employed md Mr.. Pullman threw
himself into the task with the ardoT
of a man who moves from settled con-
Vtcttans. Although without mechanical
training himself he personally directed
the work OF others in oil the minor de-
tails OF putting the ideas he had orig
mated into material form. The first
car the pioneer" was completed early
in 1866, and Immediately took rank as
the most perfect railway vehicle the
world had ever seen, This was the
beginning OF the Pullman system, which
has grown to the present enormous pro-
portions.
Mr.. Pullman was Identified with al
most every public enterprise In Chi
cago. The industrial atown OF Pull

now contains over 1000 inhabitants,

men began to inquire as to the feeling
OF the townspeopie on the subject. The
event had been so sudden and at such
an hour that the company officials IN
the town had heard nothing regarding
the death of their chief until after the
toilers In the huge car works and kin
dred establishments had begun their
daily routine, all unconscious OF the
tragic occurrence at the brown stone
palace, few miles further north on
the lake shore Immediately, however,
preparations were made 20 close the big
shops, and for the proper observance
of Mr. Pullman's obsequles,
While seemingly in good health, Mr.
Pullman had been complaining during
the last three or four days of the hot
spell and feeling rather uncomfortable
Alter leaving his office at o p, m. he
remained at his residence all evening.
About 4.30 o'clock this morning he
awoke and called his body servant to
his bedside and spoke OF great feel
Ing of distress. Finally he requested
that the family physician, DR.. Billings,
be sent for. In the meantime, hearing
through the servants OF Mr., Pullmans
lndisposltion, Rev. Dr., Charles II.
Eaton, OF New York, an intimate friend
OF the Pullman family, and who was
visiting at their home, went hurrledly
into the sick mans bed chamber, MI.
Pullman rapidly grew worse and a sec
aHd message was sent TO DR.. Billings,
but before the doctor could reach the
house Mr. Pullman had died.
The death of Mr. Pullman, besides
leaving a vacancy In the Pullman car
directorate. also causes similar condi-
ton of affairs in the board of direc-
tors Of the Chicago Telephone Com
pany, He was represented on the New
York Biscuit and Diamond Match
boards by his son-in-law, Frank Lou
den.
1t Is believed in local stock circles
that Horace Porter will succeed Mr..
Pullman as president of the Pullman
Palace Car Company,
Mr.. Pullman's residence on Prairie
avenue, where he died, Is d1e of the
most delightful In Chicago. IT Is sur
rounded by garden of most beautiful
flowers, In which graceful palms occupy
an important place, At the southern
end OF the property stands the 'massa-
ere monument" on the site OF the old
tree which marked the destruction of
so many citizens and soldiers after the
evacuation of Fort Dearborn in August,
1912. The tree was removed some years
ago TO the court of the Chicago His
torical Society, and the place where It
had stood was marked by bronze

the incidents OF the tragic event

President Edward Russ of the Hobokeu
Board of Public Instruction. is determined
to have his say as to the purchasing of
furniture for new school No. z, now in
course of construction at Park avenue
and Newark streets. A committee of the
Common Council. consisting of Messrs.
Weinthal, Steil and Weber, met last night
to consider the bids presented by furni-
ture dealers. President Russ and Com
missioner Hicks were present, but were
not allowed to offer any suggestions.
Mr.. Russ said that Councilman Weber
Informed them that the committee was
fully capable of attending to the matter
without consulting the members of the
school board.
I'VE won't be shut OUT replied Mr..
Russ to News reporter last night.
I'VE have legal right to be consulted
in this matter and we intend to have our
say. According to law passed by the
last Legislature all business pertaining
to the public schools of this city is ex-
clusively under our Jurisdiction We have
full control of the schools. What does
Weber know about schools anyway? We
know what is needed and we want to
have things carried out properly"
Mr. Russ said that the Commissioners
would probably hold a meeting in the
near future and decide upon a course Of
action.

Mr.. STOKES WILL STAY SENATOR
He Denies the Story That He VIII
Accept an AppOfntive Office

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City Naws.'.1
BRIDGETON, Aug. 8, 1S97.-From some
unknown source the story started that
State Senator e. G. Stokes, of Cumber-
land county, was likely to be appointed
Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court under
Clerk William Riker. Among those who
know of Senator Stokes plans, however,
the story was not credited because it was
known in the first place, that he would
never consent to accept subordinate po-
sition since he was SO grievously disap-
pointed in his hope of being Secretary of
State. Then it was generally believed
that he expected to re-enter the lists for
the First District Congressional nomi-
nation.
The story of his probable appointment
was revived yesterday. and Mr.. Stokes
deemed it advisable to state that there
was not the slightest probability in 1t.
He said he should remain as q member
of the Senate until his term expires and
if he should be appointed to any State
Office IL would necessitate his resignation.
Senator Stokes term expires before q
vote will be taken on United States SEN
ator by the joint Legislature in 1899, for
Cumberland county elects a Senator in
the fall of 1898. All the present talk is
that Assemblyman Bloomfield Minch will
be the nominee but Mr.. Stokes may be
found III the lists for denomination when
the mist clears away.

County Board of Health Receives
Batch of Complaints.

The County Board of Health heard,
among a number of complaints, at their
meeting yesterday, one from the neigh
borhood of Staples Candle Factory, near
Waverley street, on the Heights. The PEE
tition sent in, signed by twenty people,
said that the stenches from that factory
were numerous and abominable and a
breath of pure air was simply rarity.
Wouldn't the Board please tell the can
dlemaker to use matter in his candles
which produces odorous smells? The COM
munication was referred to the police of
the precinct in which the factory is.
Clerk C. j. Rooney made a report to
the effect that a number of medical men
had complained that DR.. Reina, of No.
172 Boulevard and West Hoboken, was
practising without having first graduated
from the State Board. Mr.. Rooney had
written to the Secretary of the State
Board, who served notice on Reina to
take out his certificate. Reina was then
operating in Weehawken, but has since
moved his goods and residence to West
Hoboken. This matter was referred to
counsel.
A complaint was made by F. G. Orell,
of No. 1902 Avenue D, Bayonne, against
the owner of the premises adjoining. The
outhouses were in such a filthy condition
that excrementitious matter overf1owed
to adjoining houses. Inspector Nevin will
look after it.
Mrs. A. Kramer of West New York
complained that P. O'Brien, a neighbor,
neglected his children, who had lost their
mother recently. The house was in
frightfu1 condition. This complaint will
be examined into.
Mrs. Leon, of Town of Union, complain-
ed that TOuiS Lewis DedQlerS' wagons
made so much noise in the mornings that
sleep was impossible. The inspector will
investigate.

OF the levy. the amount to be received

of school population, number of teachers
employed in the schools, etc., is ascer-

City's part of the railroad taxes levied

accordance with the provisions of
statute approved March q; 1888, one-ninth1

then obtained is the amount to be raised

That ends the duty and responsibility Of
the Board of Finance in the matter. If

coming year after the levy is made you

July annually the County Board of
Equalization convenes and the local as
SCISSORS of all the municipalities in the
county report the result of their labors

has completed its scrutiny of the assess
ments the City Board of Tax Commis-
sioners completes its books for presenta-
ton to the Board of Finance for confir-
nation. which usually occurs in Mo-
vember.
AS soon as the books are complete and
the totals obtained it is within the
province of the Tax Board to strike the
city rate This is arrived at by dividing
the tax levy by the total amount of as
seSsments and the decimal result obtain
ed is the city rate. AS per example the
tax levy for the years 1S96-1S97 was S1,141,
S0S.41; the total amount of ratables was
$50, ,020676; by dividing $1,741, ,S0S.4 by $S9,
020, 676, we obtain the city rate for the
year. In the meanwhile the County and
State school purposes and the total rates
make up the total tax rate upon the real
and personal property in Jersey City for
all purposes State, county and city. So
that your Honor's references to reduc-
tions of the tax rate is not applicable to
our Board as the matter is not within our
Jurisdiction. Since 1891 the ratables have

ment. Nothing was stipulated regarding
the other .one-quarter and it became an
unappropriated fund Prior to the last
year it was the custom to set this money
aside to the credit Of the Sinking Fund
Not that there was any specific legisla-
ton directing such a proceeding, but be-
cause the money was not needed for any
other purpose. Last year it was the sense
of this Board that as the levy annually
provides for all necessary sinking funds
and interest charges in addition the added
one-ninth of it's total is seldom or ever
drawn upon to any great extent and also
finds its way into the Sinking Fund, the
amount to be raised by taxation should
be decreased by this surplus fund, and 1t
was appropriated to the credit of the
Sinking Fund in the tax levy and the
amount to be raised for Sinking Fund
purposes decreased accordingly The
money used for the purpose as appro-
priated and there was no evasion or at
tempt to escape providing for out habili-
ties The total of the tax levies made
since 1891 has been as follows:-

So we find that the tax levy for the
current year was $40,39S23 less in its
total than that of the year 189f-1S92,
ment that Boards have been favored with
increased appropriations. We also find
that in 1891-1S92 there was no provision
ment, a very necessary provision Of the
levy, and which amounts to the sum of
$4,000 annually. 1t is provided for in
the levy of 1S96-1S97. A comparison of the
interesting facts The interest account
which was s664,214.39 in 1S91-1892, has de-
creased to $546, ,694.38 in 1S96-1S9I. The. sal
ary account of the various Boards have
increased and decreased as follows:-
Street and Water Board, increase, s12,22o 05
This is due to the provisions for the
salaries of the Engineering Bureau and
cutting off the Street Inspectors salary,
$4,000 per annum.
