A carload OF groceries that were
sold by agents of foreign houses were
unloaded to their patrons in this city
Friday. Our grocery merchants
state that they would have been glad
to have filled the orders with first
class grade of goods at about ten per
cent less than they were sold.

friends will feel very grateful to Mr..
Lord for his many acts of kindness,
and for the prompt services rendered
Mr.. Soaring just previous to his sud-
den demise.
President Soaring was greatly be-
loved by all who knew him, and es-
pecially is this true with those with
whom he had associated in school
work. Sad as his death was, it seem.
ed doubly so to be stricken down with
no member of the family near. Mrs.
Soaring has been visiting relatives in
New York for several weeks and she
was expected to leave for home this
morning. Messages have been sent to
ascertain if she started as expected,
and If so she will arrive in Chicago
tomorrow. Her son, Lyle, went to
st. Paul on the Afternoon train in
company with Mr.. Clark, and will pro-
coed from there to Chicago to meet
his mother and accompany her home.
The eldest son, Mr.. E. f. Soaring,
local editor of the Free Eress, left
for Swan Lake yesterday after
noon on short hunting expedition,
and the sad news of his fathers
death was conveyed to him by special
messenger from Nicollet who was dis
patched to get him to the after noon

COUNTY TAX WORK
Of Addition in the
Freeholders' Budget
Hoboken's Fair Levy.

The County Board for the Equalization
Of Taxes met again yesterday afternoon
in the Grand Jury room. The Freehold
ers' budget was submitted and the figures
showed q total of $780,. 1852 Clerk James
r. Connolly, of the County Board, went
over the figures, and after footing them
up found that the correct total was $780,
75s.2 "a. The figures were returned to the
Freeholders for correction.
The Board had some discussion over a
request made by Assessor Bowe, of Union
Hill, for advice as to whether he could
assess a sewer as realty. The matter had
already been referred to Counselor Griffin,
of the Board Of Freeholders. No one is,
allowed to connect with the sewer except
upon the payment of $50 a lot. The mat
ter was referred to Senator DAILY for an
opinion.
Tax Commissioners higgins, of Hobo
ken, put in a bill for $3.50 for serving To-
600 notices.
Commissioner Mclean called attention
to the scarcity of personal property in
some parts of Ffoboken. In many places
the assessment is only 800. 1t was ex-
planned that these are tenement dis
tricts. Mr.. Mclean said that the aver
age assessment in Hoboken is very fair.
The appeal of the Plattdeutsche Verein
for a reduction of the assessment on the
Schuetzen Park in Union Hill was dis
missed. The park was assessed 1000 last
year. This year the valuation is in
creased to $1,000. although an acre and a
quarter has been cut off and a plot set
aside for an old peoples home. The Yer
Elm claimed that the plot for the home
should not be assessed at all. Assessor
Bowe explained that the value Of the park
is increased by the fact that the Boule-
ward runs by it for a considerable dis
tanee. The plot for the home is not in
use yet. and until it is it is liable to tax
alton.
Henry Bel made an appeal for a reduc-
ton of the valuation of the Grove Church
property in West New York. He claimed

UPHELD the POLICE
Judge Blair Says They Did
Right in Arresting Jonn
Reardon Suspected
of Assault.

John Reardon, a peddler. was tried in
the General Sessions Court yesterday
afternoon for atrocious assault and bat
terry on Joseph Schilakowski. of No. 122
Essex street. The assault was committed
on May 20 and the victim is still a patient
in the hospital. He appeared in court
yesterday with his head covered with
white bandages which looked like a skull
cap.
S-chilakowski was in Mrs. Louisa Giese's
store, No. l24 Sussex street. when Rear
don and William Connors entered and Of
fered to sell Mrs. Giese some potatoes
Sehilakowski made some uneomplimentary
remark about the quality of the potatoes
and Reardon struck him on the head with
a quart bottle Of mineral water, fractur-
ing his skull. A man named Murray was
first arrested for the crime, but was re-
leased. Suspicion fell on Reardon, who
was employed by Murray, and Detective
Larkins found him hiding under the bed
at his home. S~chilakowski could not
identify the defendant and did not know
who it was that struck him.
Mrs. Giese testified to the dispute be-
tween Reardon and the Pole, but she did
not see the blow struck. Connors testi-
fed that he was with Reardon in the store
but he did not see the blow struck either,
in fact, none of the witnesses saw it.
Detective Larkins testified that Rear
don confessed to him that he had COM
mitted the crime. Lawyer N. Noonan.
who appeared for Reardon, denounced the
manner of his clients arrest as an out
rage. Detective Larkins went into the
house without any warrant or authority
of law, and because he found him under
a bed jumped to the conclusion that he
was guilty. Mr.. Noonan also criticized
police methods.
Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle de-
Tended the police, and in his charge
Judge Blair said that the police had done
their full duty. Reardon was convicted,
n thism morning Judge Blair sent him to
State prison for three years.

only thus that the few can control the

desperate characters who crowd a gaoL.

Miss Havener Tried for Keep

keeping.

A romance in the lives of Sarah Have
ner and Louis Wassennurg. 4 barber,
which was rudely interrupted by a mat
ter of business, was aired in the General
Sessions Court yesterday. The couple
had been more or less in love with each
other and it was understood that they
were to be married some time in the fu-
ture. Sarah suggested to Louis that it
would be a good idea to save up as much
money as they could in anticipation of
going to housekeeping. Louis agreed
with her, and Sarah was made the GUS
todian Of the money.
When they had Sl1O in hank Louis saw
a good opportunity to go into business for
himself, and suggested 10 Sarah to draw
the money Out Of the bank ana buy the
barber shop he had in view. Sarah re-
fused. She declared that the money had
been saved up for A specific purpose: to
start housekeeping with, and she would
not consent to its use for any other pur-
pose. Louis pleaded with her, but she
remained firm, and them Louis had her
arrested for embezzlement
When she was put on trial yesterday
Senator DAILY. who defended her, prodUc-
ed the bank book, showing that the
money is still on deposit in the Provident
Institution for Savings. The book show
ed that the first deposit was made on
October 25, 1897. the day after their en-
gagement. Senator Daily held that the
young woman could not be convicted of
embezzlement because she was simply
the bailee of the money and she still held
it subject to the conditions under which
it had been entrusted to her Judge
Blair agreed with him and directed an
acquittal.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle asked Wassenberg if
he still considered himself engaged to
Miss Havener.
YES, l do" he replied.
.'Then why don't you make up and
get married?'' asked Mr.. Van Wrinkle.
II don't know replied Wassenberg.
The scornful glance that Miss Havener
hurled at him clearly indicated the rea-
son why.
Louis Havener. the brother Of the de-
fendant in the previous case, was next
put on trial for assault and battery on
Wassenberg. Havener and his sister were
at a picnic in Union Hill before Miss
Havener had been arrested on Wassen-
berg's complaint. Wassenberg was there
also, and Havener heard thai he was go
ing around saying things about his sister
and declaring that he would send her to
jail. Havener hunted up Wassenberg and
demanded an apology. Wassenberg re-
fused to make one and Havener struck
him. Havener said that the other man
struck him first and he only defended
himself He was acquitted.
