TWO KINDS or BALLS.
One Kind Was Mixed Up With
Bats and the Other With
Glasses = Hudson VS..
Essex.

The attaches OF the Hudson and Es-
sex County Court Houses played a lively
game of baseball Saturday afternoon on
the Cricket Grounds at Hoboken. The
ann was a most exciting one. Almost
all the office holders and Court House at
tachees were there, and each side tried
to get the other ratified" The Hudson
boys brought along refreshments to keep
their players in good trim, and each time
a player made a hit" he was allowed the
privilege of taking a drink. This rule
made the boys work like beavers.
The team was made up as follows:-
Constable Donigan, third base; ex-As-
semblyman Pierce J.. Fleming, second
base; Constable Hague, left field; Con-
stable Clements, first base; Constable
Egan, right field; Constable DAWN, short
stop; County Health Inspector Hendricks.
catcher, and John Bryan; pitcher.
Those composing the Essex county team
w~ere:-Gilroy, pitcher; Smith, catcher;
Holzurger, first base; Woodruff, short
stop; Nichol, third base; Franks, left
field; Maher, right field; Mckee, second
base, and Edwards. centre field.

Thomas Inwright for the local team and
Henry Housed for the visitors.
The excitement commenced as soon as
the ball was started rolling and the
noisy shouts from the crowd on the
grand stand kept up continually. Pierce
]. Fleming caused a howl when he
muffed an easy fly on second base. The
ex-Assemblyman. however, was credited
with one good catch. DR.. Hendricks per
formed some clever work behind the bat,
and Constables Hague and Clements
made good catches in the field. Bryan,
the pitcher for the local team, made
two home runs. When the score was II
to 10 the game broke up in a wrangle
over a decision given by the umpire. AS
the Hudson boys were then on the in
side they were awarded the honors.

MR. JOHN MULLINS POSITION.
Does Not Propose TO Pay Personal
Taxes Alone.

A statement was made in a local paper
a few days ago that Mr.. John Mullins.
the we'll known merchant of this city.
had instituted legal proceedings to avoid
paying personal taxes, by testing the con-
lsti~tutionality of the act. and this news
was received with joy by many of those
people who have never paid any personal
tax. and are now hoping to benefit by
Mr.. Mullins action.
Now the fact is that Mr.. Mullins does
not belong to that class, and he does not
refuse to pay his personal tax. He sim
ply wishes others to dc what he has
hitherto done for years: pay what is
justly due to the city, provided others do
the same. He does not propose to pay
the tax if others are allowed to go scot
free, and that is the case today.
In 1891 Mr.. Mullins paid $4,000 per an
mum for personal taxes. The following
year. for some u-naccountable reason, hi
city Jumped his taxes up to $40, 000, and
his personal tax had stood at $4,000. The
State Board of Taxation was appealed to,
that body reduced it S15, 900. making
It $4,000 per year, which sum Mr.. Null
Inns paid. Notwithstanding this decision
these peculiar geniuses, the local asses
sors, raised, in the next year, 1896, Mr..
Mullins taxes to $25. 900 again, n he
very justly called a halt.
Now he takes the position that since
many merchants in the city have never
ana no attempt appears to be made to
make them, he does not see why he
should be made to pay and Others es-
cape. If the Collector will enforce the
Inns, will gladly pay what the Court de-
termineS as Just personal taxes.

ANOTHER HoB0KEN BURGLAR.
Man Said 10 BE a N. Y. Crook Caught
Ronhing In WaNhinSton Street.

A daring burglar aroused the sleeping
tenants in the neighborhood of Washing
ton and Ferry streets, Hoboken, at a late
hour last night, and caused a great deal
of excitement. Close on to midnight
George Milford, who lives on the second
floor, at No. rs Washington street, was
sitting with his wife at one of the front
| windows of his home when he saw a man
climb up the porch of No. 70, next door.
At first Milford thought that the man
was one of the tenants who had forgot
ten his night key, but on watching him
more closely saw that he was a stranger.
AS soon as the man reached the top of
the porch he raised the window of No.
70 and entered.
Believing that the mans actions were
suspicious, milford and his wife went
down stairs and told Mrs. George Goelz,
one of the other tenants Mrs. Goelz at
once ran next door and rang the door
bell. On the floor where the man had
entered lives Peter Volp and his wife and
family. Volp was sleeping in one of the
rear rooms. The ringing of the bell
awakened him, and when he jumped out
of bed he heard the man scurry into an
other room. He went in after him, but
the room was so dark that he could see
nothing. While he stood wondering
what had caused the noise the stranger
seized him from behind, threw him over
a table and darteG down the stairs n
into the street. milford and the other
tenants who were standing on the porch
raised an alarm as the man ran out, but
no n dared to stop him. Just as the
fellow reached the sidewalk, Harry
Stevens. a m~otormlan, who lives at No.
Is Washington street, was coming home
from work, He ran after the intruder
and caught him at the corner of Ferry
street.
At Police Headquarters the man gave
his name as Thomas Jones, % years old.
an electrician. of No. 1927 Palisade avenue.
West Hoboken. He afterwards said that
he came from Kalamazoo, Mich. The
police. however, believe that he is Robert
Doyle. a we'll known New York crook.
This morning Recorder McDonough com
mitted him to the County Jail to await
trial.
Although Doyle had been in the house
only a few minutes he managed to rum
age through a number of bureau drawers
and strewed the contents on the floor. He
did not get a chance, however, to take
anything away with him.
