HOBOKEN'S HIGH TAXES.

The Hoboken Commissioners of Assess
ment nave fixed the tax rate in that city
for the current year at S24.20 per SlOVp
of ratables in the lower or old portion OF
tho city, and so. 10 per thousand in the
annexed district near Weehawken. h
is an increase of S. 20 over he rate last
year for the old city n $40 for the
annexed district. The increase is due in
part to the heavy reduction in the rata
bfes caused byq the recent big fires in the
city, but also largely to increase to in
crease in the city's expenses. One of the
cause for the Increase was the reduction
of 81, 10000 from the tax valuation of the
river front property by the State Board
of Taxation.
Tn appropriations made in the city
budget for this year are much larger
than those of last year. Two new en-
gines have been purchased for the Fire

ROBBED In 4 SALOON.
Follow a Drunken Man
and Take His Watch
Caught With the Prop
erty on Them.

The Greenviile section of this city late
" seems to be- overrun with burglars.
sneak thieves and highwaymen. and the
good people Of tina usually quiet locality
are kept in a state OF great excitement.
Last evening Daniel Teohar, of No. 249
Second street, while in a drunken condi-
tion, was relieved of his watch in Otto
Conrad's saloon, at Ocean avenue and
Bartholdi place.. about ten O'Clock. Chas.
Flanery, twenty-three years old. of No.
345 Third street; his brother Edward
Flanery, twenty-five years old, of No. 442
Second street. and Frank Marten. nine
teen years old, of No. 1874 Brunswick
street, were arrested by Bicycle Police
man Clemenson as the thieves who stole
Teohan's watch.
About nine O'Clock last evening four
young fellows got off a Bayonne trolley
| car at Ocean avenue and Bartholdi place
and entered Conrad's saloon. August
Frownn, the bartender, while tending to
their wants, noticed that the men ap-
peared to be intoxicated. Daniel Teohan,
who was paying for the round of drinks,
pulled out a iii roll of bills while doing
so. Frownn also noticed that the three
| young fellows who were with Teohan
were whispering among themselves and
pointing to Teohan. Finally after the
drinks had bee disposed of Teohan went
into the back room, which is petitioned
| off the saloon, to sit down and nave a
sleep, as he was hardly able to stand.
After Teohan had been in the room about
five minutes the two Flanerys and Mar
ten went in after him.
When Frownn saw them go into the
room with Teohan he became suspicious
and followed them into the room, and ar
rived there just In time to see Charles
Flanery take a gold watch from Teohan's
vest pocket while he was half asleep.
Frownn told his employer what he had
seen, and Conrad sent a man named Nc
Carthy for a policeman.
In the meantime the Flanerys left the
saloon and started down Neptune ave-
rue. Mccarthy and Policeman Clemer-
son We're coming up that avenue, and as
they passed Mccarthy, recognizing the
two young men, had them arrested.
Detective Egan and Bartender FroWnn
were sent back to the saloon to get
Teohan to make a complaint against the
fellows, but when the got to Conrad'S
saloon they found that Teohan had dis
appeared. Egan and Frownn went to the
Schuetzen Park and found him sitting on
one of the benches underneath the trees.
He was partly sober by this time, and
was surprised when Detective Egan told
him that he was wanted at the station
house to make a complaint against the
men who had stolen his watch.
Bartender Frownn identified the Elan
erys and Frank Martin as the men who
were with Teohan, and Charles Flanery
as the man he saw take the watch.
Teohan's watch was found on him
Teohan said he met the men coming up
on the car. Flanery said he took the
watch for safe keeping as Teohan was
Trunk and he was afraid he would lose
it. The men We're held. Captain Nugent
thinks they are old offenders.

Especial to '.The Jersey City News."J
TRENTON, Aug. u. 1S97.-The Singer
Sewing Machine Company. of Elizabeth.
Instituted certiorari proceedings in the
Supreme Court yesterday to compel the
State Board of Assessors to set aside
this wears assessment of taxes against
the Singer Company. This assessment
amounts to 81. 200. 40. The Institution Of
these proceedings will revive an old fight
between the Singer Company and 8fhe
State on the tax question. The company
in the past has claimed exemption from
the State tax under that section ofsthe
corporation act which provides that cdnl
panies having over one-ha1f of their capi-
tai stock invested in manufacturing
within this State should be exempt FROM
mp their 8 assessment and OBJ
tanned anxflverse decision infthe9Shpfeme
Count This d-ecision4was subsequently
reversed by the Court Of Errors h APP
peals and the assessment was set aside.
Notwithstanding this decision BY the
highest court In the State, former Attor-
rey General John p. Stockton was not
satisfied at havin the taxes set aside,
and instructed the State Board to make
the assessment this year as heretofore,
DESTROYS of having the case again brought
before the courts.
Attorney General Grey could not be
seen yesterday, and it was therefore Inn
possible to ascertain what views he holds
on the subject. III they are the same as
those or the former Attorney General
the case will undoubtedly be CARRIED
through the courts again.
