SUSTAINED THE MAYOR.
Board Of Finance Will Try
and Collect All Personal
Taxes.

The Finance Board held an, adjourned
meeting yesterday afternoon. The
Mayors veto of the resolution of the cid
Finance Board cancelling certain personal
taxes was sustained by a unanimous vote.
The list of personal arrearages for 1896
numbers at least three thousand. Before
being advertised this time the list was
sent to the Tax Commissioners for reyis-
ion. Those officials recommended to the
Finance Board the cancellation of about
LOCO names from the list fer the reason
that the persons assessed were either
dead, had moved or ceased to do business.
The Finance Board adopted the recon-
mendation, and ordered the list as re-
vised advertised. When the resolution
looked over the tax list, and was aston
islled to find that some Of the men whose
names were recommended for erasure
from the list were still in the city. and in
lacy instances were doing a more pros
porous business than when the assess
nlert was levied.
There were so many of these instances
that the Mayor refused to allow the rec
concentration go through. He was OPP
posed, he declared. to having one set Of
men escape taxation while another was
made to bear the Whole burden.
There will be no favoritism shown
where I can help it," said HIS Honor.
The Mayor consulted a lawyer on the
subject. and was informed that the FL
nance BOARD had no power to cance any
tax which had been regularly and legally
imposed. The Mayor. communicated that
information to the Board of Finance in
the form Of a veto.
The Finance Commissioners said they
had no interest in cancelling the taxes
against any one. What they wanted to
avoid, they said, WAS the payment for adj
vertising of a thousand or more names
fl ON which not a dollar would be realized.
Corporation Counsel McDernott notified
the Board yesterday that the Board was
rig lit IN. his claim that the Finance Board
is powerless to cancel a tax legally i'm
posed. Mr.. McDermott adjusted the
difficulty by advising the Finance Board
that it is not necessary to advertise those
persons who have moved away, ceased to
Go business, or who in any way have
rendered It impossible for the city to coli
lect.
The Mayor and Tax Commissioners will
in future review the personal tax lists
before they are advertised.
The collection of personal taxes has, be-
come such a s~ources,o of annoyance that

terday requested Cooperation Counsel

of all taxes due on personal property.

FOOLED THE BUTCHER BOYS.

A couple of butcher clerks in the employ
of Mr.. Erhardt, whose shop is in Old
Bergen Road, near Danforth avenue,
were the victims of a practical joke one
day last week. An express wagon came
galloping up to the butcher shop with two
packages addressed to the butcher clerks.
Each young man after politely handing
up fifty cents for expresage proceeded
to open the dainty packages. One pack
g contained a large quantity of per-
fumed paper, and on the inside was dis
toes. The other package contained a bag
of salt, neatly tied with a number of rib
bons.
II wonder If they thought | was too
fresh asked the clerk who was the last
to open his package. This was not all he
had to say on the subject. but there are
times when silence are golden.

~Sachett's' Excellent Show at the
Academy.

The performance given at the Academy
of Music last evening was an excellent
one. and fulnlls the promise OF J. p.
SackeIt. the manager, to give Jersey city
a clean. wholesome and attractive en-
tertainhnent at popular prices. The pro-
gramme opened with a display Of elo-
quence on Mr.. Sackett's part in the shape
of a lecture to the audience on good be-
havior, an entirely s~upefluous proceed
ing, as the Academy of Music audiences,
as a. general thing, knew how 10 behave
themselves.
Then came a good representation of the
old favorite comedy. Turned Up by the
stock company. This company contains
some ladies and gentlemen Of more than
ordinary ability. Mr.. Thomas Meegan is
a comedian of talent and CAV an excel
lent performance as Carraway Bones, the
undertaken. Harry Brinsley well sus-
tanned the part of General Baltic, and If
Conrad Cantzen will only get out a re-
straining order against that laugh of his
which produces about the same sensation
on ones nerves that the fling of a
cross-grained saw does, he will leave lit
tie TO be desired in his portrayal Of the
part of Ned Steadham, barrister. John
foWlef is a good George MSu"dS, "AisS
Will f. Grange won much applause as
Captain Midway. the Turned Up"
There are several clever actresses in
this troupe, and the best of them last
evening was Miss Rine Darcy, as Mrs.
Pannall, the ~housekeeper. Her portrayal
of the part was as good a piece of acting
as has been seen in the Academy in some
time.
Miss Tempo Evans, an attractive
young lady, after the style of beauty OF
Maude Adams; Miss Anita Hendrie, Miss
Polly Stockweil and Miss Eleanor Merron,
all filled their parts satisfactorily.
Between the acts of the comedy first
class vaudeville performers helped along
the temperance cause by presenting such
excellent work that no one cared to go
out. There were several of these at the
end of the show. They we're
Raymon Moore, Americas ballad singer;
Deaves' Royal English Marionettes, Jerry
Hart and Beatrice Leo, English a la
F~rancais: Ray L. Royce, the humorist:
Arthur Delaney, vocalist n dancer;
Frank Whitman. eccentric musician.
No notice of this really excellent show
would be complete without mention of
Miss Lizzie Otto. the ~pianiste, who is a
whole orchestra in herself and plays with
spirit and understanding.

Mr.. FEvER's NARROW ESCAPE.
His Horse Runs Away and Smashes
a Railroad Cate,

Emil Fever. ef No. SsS Park avenue.
Hoboken, had a thrilling experience in
Jersey City last night. He was driving a
horse sttached TO a light buggy, through
Jersey avenue. As he approached the Erie
Railroad q train came scTeeching along.
The horse took fright and ran away max
ing straight for the railroad.
The gates were lowered just in time,
almost striking the read of the horse in
its decent. The animal maddened by
fright dashed into It and kicked it to
pieces. The gateinan ard railroad en-
ployes seized the animal and quoted it
down. Mr.. Fever escaped injury. The
buggy was not damaged.

The fourth drill of the Police Battalion
was held yesterday afternoon In the
Armory of the Fourth Regiment, National
Guard. Chief of Police Murphy was in

and will soon be familiar with the mill

There is some grumbling among he
men because of the drills which rob them
of their time off duty, but the majority
OF them are enthusiastic and desire to see
the police battalion excel any body of
soldiers in the State.

There seems to be no regard for SPAN
or her people on the part of any OF the
political leaders. Their one idea is power
for themselves. The factions see nothing
in the vicissitudes of the war but oppor-
tunities for getting into power or oo-
stacles. Those who are out of power
actually bargain for this or that advan-
tage in voting the money necessary for
the defence of the country OF course
such utterly selfish and unpatriotic con-
duct deserves the utmost punishment that
Providence can infiict upon it through the
medium of a foreign foe.
But Senior Sagasta's position, if not SO
unpatriotic, is equally shocking on ac-
count of the blindness and peryerse ignor-
.ance which it indicates. After scoring
his political enemies for making the con-
duct of the war difficult. he goes on to
exhibit those traits of Spanish vanity
and mediaevalism which render the
country's success in any modern enter
prise impossible. He speaks of the Manila
fight as gratifying to Spanish pride He
can see in our victory only the result of

on account of the courage of our sailor
