La crisis por que atraviesa ell ayuntamien-
to de este pueblo, solo es conf jurable haciendolo
desaparecer del mapa, anexandoloa Humacao.
Y que no cabe otra soluci6n, 10 demuestra a
la simple vista ell continue clamoreo del vecin-
dario, que con pasmosa realidad We agotar sus
pocos recursos, perdida toda esperanza de me-
jora. Para ell proximo afo economico de 1897

trece mil pico de pesos, que no podra menos
que saldar con deficit de tres d cuatro mil,
comparando su cuantfa con Ia de otros presu-
puestos de menor importancia que han dejado
deficits de dos tres mil pesos. Quiere decir,
que al fnalizar Ell ejercicio del noventa siete
al noventa ocho, tendra el ayuntamiento de
este pueblo un deficit de diez seis mil y pico
hacerle frente y rodeado de atenciones sagradas,
que su incunplimiento ha de lamar necesaria.

En- la actualidad Sc le adcudan mil y pico
de pesos la Carcel del distrito, cuya suma
procede de presupuestos atrasados y del corrien-
te, sin que EN- las areas muncipales sc encuentre
un centimo que pudiera destinarse 4 esa aten-
ci6n. aquf cabe consignar, <que 81 negli

la importa lcia que hoy tiene, quizas atraer
perjuicios para este pueblo con las costas de un
procedimiento de apremio, que, en- justicia,

thwart it While the Burgomaster paid the score,
Moses slipped away unobserved, and to the
captains quarters. He inhabited an upper room in
the old stone hermitage adjoining the barracks at
the end of the village The boy had often passed it
and knew it we'll Formerly he had trembed at it's
aspect and at it's stern occupant, who greatly
feared by Jew and Gentle alike account of heart
less cruelty.
There was time to tremble now. Theconspra-
tors might come at any moment. Moses found the
door open, and crept cautiously up two flights of
stone steps, till he came to the captain room. He
had frequently seen the formidable soldier at the
little window far above the street. An oilamp
threw faint light about the room. At the thres
hold Moses paused in indecision What if he should
be discovered? 1t would go hard with the poor boy.
But he had determined to hear their plan, and
1moning all his courage, he entered the
He heard steps upon the stone staircase They
were coming? Where could he hide? There was an
inner ROOM the door of which stood half open.
Moses darted into this retreat and hid under
wooden cot which served the captain for bed. He
left the door aar that he could both hear and see
whatever passed in the outer apartment. The Bur-
gomaster and his companion entered the latter,
going to a cupboard, took out bottle and some
glasses They had evidently discussed their project
the way, for the Burgomaster saying, as he
poured out glass of wine
Il do not like the idea, Baron it is too risky.
"Risky" repeated the soldier in accents of sur
prise. "Pray tell me why! Father Lorenz, the
priest, can open the church at midnight and let
us in!"
'Father Lorenz would never consent to such a
plot He is too fond of the Jews, in whom he pro-
fesses to recognize wonderful talents If he knew of
your plans he would move heaven and earth to
thwart Them
''Then he must not know. 1 will enter the church
through the window and take the silver chalce and

to old Mayors house. open the door-they never
keep their doors locked-and hide the sacred articles
in his closet. It it easy fighting. In the morn
ing the priest will discover that the articles have
been stolen, will give the alarm, and you with the
aid of your constabes will have the Ghetto searched
Mayer will be glad enough to pay six thousand
thalers to escape the anger of the church for his
sacrilege."

reflected aha have i'll We will say that the
Holy Virgin, enraged at the sacrilege, appeared to

formed for the benefit of the church."
why my dear Baron, the poor Jews would be
torn to pieces by the enraged people No, it will
never dol"
What if they pillaged and plundered! They
deserve it, the nfdels! They have had comparative
quiet for five years and growing impertinent and
domineering 1t would be a splendid lesson for
them"
After a few more objections the part of the
Burgomaster, he agreed to the plan. Leave the
money part to me" he said 1--WE need six thousand
thaers 1 will fine Mayer that amount One
thousand thalers will revert to the church, to
benefit of the village and ourselves. The plan is not
a bad one!"
Poor Moses, concealed beneath the bench, felt
miserable indeed. Young he was, he realized the
full extent of the disaster which threatened his peo-
pie. Mayer, though reputed rich, had through
repeated pluckings been reduced to poverty and all
the Jews would be compelled to contribute to the
amount pressed out of him. That was not the
worst of it, however, for when the mob's passions
were aroused, bloodshed and piage would result and
his poor people would be poweress to prevent it.
"Oh!" he groaned, if they would but CO. so that
l could escape and warn my peope!'
At last the bottle finished, and the two
plotters after sundry admonitons to let Father
Lorenz the humane priest into the secret left the
room.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
f. +. ThOmpsOn's Life Endangered by
Runaway Horse.


Mr.. E. F. Thompson. a prominent resi-
dent of West Washington. and an old sol
dier In Col. Mosbys command, had a mar
row escape from almost certain injury, and
perhaps death, at the corner of 11th and F
streets this morning about IL o'clock.
MIR. Thompson resides at Fort Myer
Heights, and likes good horses. He started
out this morning with a three-year-old reg
istered animal, and the colt behaved in
first-rate fashion until she met one of Maj.
Geo. H Harries' yellow cars at 11th and
L streets.
Mr.. Thompson had jus; turned into that
thoroughfdre, which seemed unusually con-
sested about this time, and was proceeding

BUILDING THE NEW LINE,

Grading Commenced for Construction
of the Forest Glen Road.
Workmen are engaged in grading the 7th
street road beyond the District line, pre-

ington, Woodside and Forest Glen railroad,
Contracts for the grading have been made
with G. B. Mullin, for rails with J. Blake

1t is expected that the new road which
Will run through Woodside to Forest Glen,
a distance of three miles. will be in opera
ton by the 1st of October. 1t is being built
from the District line at the terminus of
the Brightwood railroad as far as Woodside
at present, but if the negotiations now in
progress are favorabiy concluded, the road
will be built TO Forest Glen.
A traffic arrangement. is to be made with
the Brightwood road and the city roads,
by which passengers can core firm any
point on the Washington Wooiside and
Forest Glen road to any point in the city
for ten cents. providing the tickets are pur-
chased in lots Of 100. When these tickets
are not used, the usual fare will be charg-

OPPOSITION is DIVIDED
Prospects of the Proposed Currency Com
mission in the Senate
Difference of Opinion as to Whether
1t Would BE Good Policy to
Obstruct or Aid.

The outlook for legislation authorizing a
currency commission TO prepare a plan
for currency reform for the next session
of Congress is uncertain. The republicans
have decided to take the matter up mme-
diateiy after the passage of the tariff bill,
as has already been stated, and the neces-
sary legislation will be put through the
House speedily.
What VIII happen in the Senate will de-
pend upon the course of the opposition.
What their course will be has rot yet been
decided. difference Cf opinion existing
among them The policy being urged most
strongly just now. however, contemflates
the defeat of the proposition. 1t is being
urged by the advocates of this policy that
the republicans should be given to under
stand that as soon as the tariff bill las
been rasseG the Congress shall adjourn,
and that if attempt is made to get the
currency commission proposition through

session until December. In a measure this
is inspired by spirit of reprisal against
the House for its policy of inaction it
