With the collection of every dollar that
is collectible there will be a deficiency on
May next in the water account of $222,-
606.64.
There was deficiency of $250,000 at the
beginning of the water year, but by re-
ducing the force of employees in several
branches of the department and curtail-
ready been saved There will doubtless be
collected each month sufficient from now
on to pay the interest but it a question if
any more will be received.
The employees of the Water Department
have received their salaries for December,
but it is a toss up If they will get any this
month.
The first money received will have to be
devoted to the payment of<$14,0 900 interest.
If the employees are fortunate to get their
salaries not a claim of any description
will be paid, nor is it likely that any will
be paid until after next May.
The Finance Commissioners are an
noyed about the condition of the water
account, but insist that no remedy can be
provided by them at present. The Street
and Water Commissioners are equipping
as all the buildings have been
metered record of the water
consumed in each is to be sub
mitted to the Finance Board The Street
and Water Commissioners are then going
to demand that every department be made
to pay for the water it uses. They hold
that if that is done, the Water Depart
ffciencies will be heard of no more. Just
what will be done about the present de-
fciency is not known.
The Finance Commissioners are to meet
with the Street and Water Commissioner
ers shortly and discuss the situation

MAYOR HOOS is WARM
He Sharply Replies to the
Manifesto of the Board
of Finance.
THINKS He KNOWS HIS BUSINESS
Some Sarcastic Remarks About the
"sixth Member of the
Finance Board.
THINKS He KNOWS HIS BUSINESS

Mayor Iioos did not take kindly to the
answer made by the Finance Committee
of the Board of Finance to his veto of
the resolution authorizing the issue of
$27 600 of Martin act bonds. He was in a
state of mind when he reached his office
this morning. Several things had dis
pleased him. and he proceeded to haul
everybody over the Goals.
''The members of the Board of FL
nance" he said, seems to be of the opin-
ion that have nothing to do but sign
bonds. I want those gentlemen to un-
derstand, and thoroughly, too, that the
Mayor of Jersey City has and should have
other things to do than sign loan bonds
and plunge the city hopelessly into debt.
These Martin act bonds are unnecessary,
and their indScriminate issue should
stop. / will stop it if l can, because |
have no desire to see the citys bonded
than we can stand. Our burdens are too
heavy, and for once l propose tightening
them even though the Board of Finance
oppose me.
1.-THE sixth member of the Board of FL
nance seems to spend great deal OF his
time writing letters and reports for that
Board. Why it is necessary for the sixth
member to do the work of such able gen
tlemen do not understand"
referred to by His Honor is Police JUS
tice Nevin, who, while Mayor Wanser's
secretary, familiarized himself with the
business of the Finance Board. The
Mayor may communicate with the FL
nance Board in a day or two.

DURRANI's DOOM.
Murderer,s Father Gives Up Hope
Man Hims.If Breaking Down.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Cal, Jan. 6,
1S9S.-Theodore Durrant has but few
more hours of life. The barriers which
have so long kept him from the gibbet
have been swept aside and the end is
near.
After the Federal Judges had denied
beas corpus and had refused to allow him
to take an appeal to the Supreme Court,
there was but one recourse, and that was
an appeal to the Governor for executive
clemency, and it looks as though Cover
nor Budd's action will be adverse to the
condemned man, as he has instructed
Warden Hale to go ahead with the execu-
ton on Friday and to use extraordinary
care to prevent an attempt at suicide by
the condemned man.
Durrant is breaking down rapidly
enough now. 1t hardly seems that he
will make brave show on the scaffold, or
that he will be in condition when the last
moment comes to carry out his intention
of making a farewell speech.
His father has confessed to Warden
Hale that he has given up all hope OF a
stay and enters into the most minute de-
tails about the hanging in a pitlably deS-
pondent way.
The Warden promises that no vulgar
curiosity the part of medical men or
anybody else will be gratified after the
body has been cut down, and also says
that the corpse will be delivered to Dur
rants parents Immediately after the exc
cution for whatever disposition they
choose to make of it.
Nearly 200 invitations have been issued
for the hanging, and it is expected that
fully 1T5 people will be present. The
Warden has been notified that bogus in
vitations have been printed and sold in
San Francisco. Before Durrant is
brought into the death chamber Warden
Hale intends to make speech to the as
sembled crowd demanding absolute si-
lence and order during the execution.

number of glasses on-sa nearby table, at
which a couple of steamship hremen Were
sitting drinking. The glasses were broken
and / naturally demanded that Londrigan pay
me for them. Chief Donovan went outside at
this point, remarking at the same time to ms
two companions not to be SO noisy. He had
no sooner gotten outside the door when Lon
drigan began to abuse me. Rushing behind the
bar he grabbed and began to shake me
roughly In the scuffle my vest was torn
from my back.
..When I succeeded in breaking away from
him 1 rushed out of the door and asked a
policeman to come in and arrest him. This
the officer refused to do. Put him outside
and l will arrest him. he said.
