has managed to save thousands Of dollars for

to call the attention of the public to the bust
nesslike manner in which the duties conided to
his charge have been performed. but evidence
Of his economical administration is found in .
communication to the Board Of Estimate in
which he refers to the expense account OF his
office. The District Attorney says:
Tho amount requested for salaries for the
ensuing year is the SAM as was allowed for the
current year. The appropriation Of 500 900 for
contingencies is the same as was appropriated
for this year. which. however. is less than the
normal amount required to meet the current eI-
"The appropriation Of %. 900 for arrearsges is
due to the fact that, as above stated. the amount
originally appropriated to tho contingency &C
count is insufficient to meet the charges ordina-
rily arising against the same; and while that
expenses already incurred I am OF the opinion
that a deficiency OF $4,000 will arise in that
account.
that the amount in gross expended BY me for
the con ingent expenses OF the once tor thls

by way Of alignment which latter item | do not
believe has ever been taken into consideration
in the preparation OF the annual est ate for

Tho Ave members Of the Republican County
Committee who invited arrest on q Column
bus avenue cable car on Thursday night
for the sake OF a principle were in the York
vile Court yesterday with their counsel. For
mer Assistant District Attorney Charles Baker.
After leaving the Lyric Hall meeting Thurs
day night: the men Of principle boarded a cable
car at Forty.second street to go up Columbus
avenue. Instead Of going up that avenue the
car went to Broadway and Fifty-ninth street
and then went downtown. The men Of princi-
pie were toldsto trnasfer to q Columbu avenue
car at Fiftieth street, but insisted upon having
one continuous passage and remained in the car
during three trips until the car finally turned
up their avenue. They insisted upon riding for
one fare, and were arrested when they refused
to pay a second time.
When the case was explained to Magistrate
Mott he said the men had acted like children.
This is a very. trivial principle to create 50
that the Passengers were not justified in max
ing tho demands OF tho cable road which
conveyance they are bound TO submit TO the
rules governing the operation Of that convey
ance.
in this case the company had q car in readt-
ness at q certain street to take those passengers
from the Broadway car who wished to go up
the passengers whether they went in the car
they were in at the time or transferred to an.
other car. but It was, perhaps, OF considerable
Importance to the company In carrying out the
usual schedule"
Mr.. Baker said that when the men Of prin.
ciple boarded the car it had the sign "Colum-
bus avenue on it and carried q blue light. in
dicating tEat 1t was going up that avenue.
These signs were not changed until the point
OF transfer was reached.

There was some doubt rs to whether the
Magistrate could send the case to Special Ses.
sions, but Mr.. Baker wanted IL TO go to a higher
court. so Magistrate Mott adjourned IL until
peXt Tuesday To look into the matter. The

Mr.. Marshall said that the Commissioners had
