RICHMOND COUNTY NEXT WEDNES-
DAy objection oE' ropEErTS

Not n cent Of the taxes levied by the Board OF

Assessments and Arrears said yesterday that he
had seized the Town Hall Of Castleton, Staten
Island and had opened office there. and that the
collection Of taxes would begin in Richmond
County next Wednesday. The Corporation Counsel
has been asked to give opinion 10 the collec-
ton of forfeits from the taxpayers. They were
entitled 10 "a rebate OF cent for payments OF
taxes during December and were liable 10 forfeit
Of per cent II they put oT paying TIL January.
and all bills not paid h. February J were by the
law to be increased per cent.
The taxpayers Didn't get any chance 70 pay

1t is interesting, though somewhat sur
prising. to note that the tomato was in
troduced to Britain as a nome-growlng
plant one year earlier han the potato.
It's name alone bespeaks a certain kin
ship to tina most popular of vegetables.
1t was in 1886 that the tomato was first
planted in England, being Introduced
from South America by the Spaniards.
The history of the TWO vegetables IS very
dissimilar. The one grew to such q use
as to be, in one portion of the King
dom, actually the National food, and IN
ali parts a most Important article of the
dinner table; while the other was ne
elected and almost ignored till the close
of the present century should learn 10
appreciate its qualities. A few garden
erS cultivated the tomato for its beauty,
but there was no demand in the market
until the beginning of the nineteenth CEN
fury, and till the last very few years
the delightful eSculent was absolutely
unknown 10 the vast majority. II has
now become a feature in the windows
of every green grocer and provision deal
er. and, whether native or imported, is
largely demanded from one end OF the
wear TO the other. Its cultivation has
brought a great increase OF wealth to the
from whence thousands of tons are ship
ped annually. Our ancestors used TO
sneak of the fruit as the love apple, >
but it appears to have been regarded as
somewhat deceitful in look, and more or
namental than useful. AT present the
deyelopnent of the native crop is retard-
ed by the fact that the plant has not
heen brought to q sufficient state of hard
mess TO flourish in the open, except in
favored situations, and the dollhouse pro-
duction is necessarily of too nigh "a price
to suit the popular market. This. how
eyer. is a detail which horticulturists
hope to be able TO remove.-London

POWER HOUSE NUISANCE CASE

The case of the city Health Board
against the North Hudson County Rail-
way Company for maintaining a nuisance
at the Palisade avenue station Of that
road by allowing steam to escape from
the power house and fall upon the side
walk was again postponed in the Second
Criminal Court this morning.
Frederick r.. Mersheimer, representing
the said the company was do
ing all in its power to temporarily abate
the nuisance pending the equipment Of
the power house with steam condensers.
This, he said. will be lone within the
next thirty days. 1t was to the advan-
tage Of the company to do so, as it would
save fuel. Pending this, however. the
company will temporarily abate the
nuisance by the erection Of an awning in
front of the power house to protect pc
destrians. The company's counsel was
not in court. Lawyer Atkinson repre-
sented the Health Board Mr.. Nicholas
Witscn, representing the Hudson city I'M
Association, was also present.
The hearing went over to next Wednes-

MOE HUSBAND THIS.
Assaults HIS WIFE and CnrDpslled 10
to Hand Out Money for Food.

Louis Kratz, of No. 290 Lexington ave-
nue., a florist, was arraigned In the Sec
ond Criminal Court this morning charged
with committing an atrocious ssaul up
on his wife. Mrs. Kratz, a feeble old lady
accompanied by a stalwart ffteen-year-
old son, and two grown daughters, APP
peared in court bearing an ugly looking
wound on her forehead. in Which sew
eral stitches were plainly visible. The
wound had been caused by a plate which
her husband hurled at her during a quar-
rel at their home last night.
The quarrel originated over Kratz's
assertion that he was compelled to sup
port the family of a married step-daugh-
ter, which was indignantly denied. Kratz
was drinking yesterday. AT the supper
table he was unusually quarreisome. At
ter striking his wife with a soup plate
his sixteen-year-old son attacked him
bat from his son and was about to use
it on him when Patrolman Post appeared
upon the scene and placed Kratz under
arrest.
Kratz was held in $500 for further exam
nation next Monday. When arrested he
had over s100 in his pockets The wife
complained that she hadn't a cent in the
house with which to buy food. and JUS
tice Nevin compelled Kratz to give her
SO pending the disposition of his case
next Monday. Kratz produced a gold
eagle and handed it over in a protesting
manner.

WANTED A WARRANT, cor A CELL
George Rrown,s Experience Seeking
Justice In Eanh0kan.

George Brown, a harness maker. of No.
36S First street, Hoboken, entered Police
Headquarters last evening and complained
that his %neighbors annoyed him. He
wanted the police to arrest them. Cap
tain Hayes advised him to make a COM
plant to the Recorder. but the latter
thought that Brown had drunk too much
liqucr and advised him to go home.
Brown left headquarters declaring he
would be avenged. He went to Justice of
the Peace George +. seymour's Office, and
because the Justice refused to accept his
complaint Brown began to abuse him.
Seymour was compelled to use force to
put Brown out of his Office. Brown then
appealed to Policeman p. Hayes, Jr-, and
claimed that Justice Seymour had assault
ed him. Hayes concluded that Brown was
not responsible for his conduct and arrest
ed him for being drunk and ~disorderly.
Brown resisted and 1t was with difficulty
that he was landed in the station house.
When placed in a cell he began to bat
ter his head against the iron bars and the
police, fearing that he would dash out
his brains, handeuffed his hands and
placed him in a padded cell.
Brown raved like a maniac during the
night and kept the doornlan busy watch
ing him. When arraigned before Recorder
McDonough his morning he acted queer
IL, and the Recorder decided to commit
him to the County Jail to await the action
of the County Physician as to his sanity.

MAYOR Hoos' MARRIAGE BUREAU
One Young bride Guessss h VIII
Obey Her Lord aud Master.

Mayor Hoos has to all appearances set
up a little matrimonial agency of his own.
Thursday he married Charles Kent, an
actor of Newark. Yesterday afternoon a
well-dressed couple entered the office n
requested His Honor to mate them in
marriage. The Mayor consented.
The bride was Miss Ethel Hankey
Weguelin. twenty-nine years old, of No.
s4 Sixth avenue, New York. The bride
groom was DR.. Henry Albert Wolff, forty
four years old. of Lakewood, n. J. The
fact that the couple were unaeconnpanied
gave rise to the belief that they had
eloped
The Doctor settled that impression by
informing the Mayor there were no OBJ
jections anywhere to the union.
When His Honor asked the bride if she
would love, honor and obey, she replied
Il guess ] do"
The Mayor felt Ike renarking that II
she were guessing SO early the Doctor
would probably be guessing later. The
Mayor said nothing, however. James Col
lins and Peter Golden were the witnesses.
This morning yincenzo Paluci, one of
Henry Byrne's constituents, was married
by the Mayor to Paolo Delucci. Thirty
| Italians witnessed the ceremony.
