THE CiTY'S FINANCES.
CRANEY ISLAND IMPROVEMENT
MIR. STAKES CLAIM.

CRANEY ISLAND IMPROVEMENT
MIR. STAKES CLAIM
The Finance Committed of the Coun-
ellis yesterday afternoon recommended
the additional appropriation Of $4,000
for fitting up Crancy Island for hos
pital for contagious diseases. Mayor
Johnston, in his capacity as chairman
of the Board of Health, appeared be-
lore the committee and favored the APP
preparation. He represented that the
Si,5oo previously appropriated by the
Councils would fall short of accom-
plishing the desired ends on the island,
and that at least $1,000 more would be
needed. 1t was originally intended to
expend about $4,000 on the island.
MIR. STAKES PETITION
Mr.. j. Wilbur Stakes appeared before
the committee and submitted an item
lied statement showing that he suffered
q financial loss OF $3.50 in consequence
of being shot last summer by Substi-
tute Police officer ]. G. Tyson The
amount mentioned is what Mr.. Stakes
asked the Councils to vote him as n
Irecomperse for this loss. The petition
having been previously referred to City
Attorney Taylor for an opinion as to
the legality of an act reimbursing MIR.
Stakes, that official gave a verbal opin-
ion to the effect that such legislation
would be Illegal.
The committee decided not to report
adversely on Mr.. Stakes petition, but
to send it back to the Councils without
any recommendation whatever.
Other matters referred TO this COM
mittce were passed upon.
THEY WANT TO VOTE
Mr.. Edward Camp, one of the Sixth
Ward Common Councilman, was to
have appeared before the committee to
favor move looking to full powers
being given the Sixth Ward Councilmen
in the way of voting. BY the annexa-
ton act the Atlantic City Ward mem
bers are excluded from voting on all
measures pertaining TO appropriations
until that ward becomes fully incor-
porated in the city. Much dissatisfac-
ton has arisen because OF this provi-
sion, and Atlantic City people want the
annexation act amended so as TO put
their Councimen on the same footing
as those from the other wards. They
want Councils to petition the Legisla-
ture for this amendment. Mr.. Camp
could not appear before the committee
yesterday but will do so later.

UNDER DEATHS SHADOW.
WHY A TELEGRAPHER ABANDON
ED TILE KEY.

A story has leaked out from nearby
Virginia town that is som wha sensa-
tional, and has the merit of being fact
and coming very near u suicide reco.
and n railroad crash. with perhaps
hundred lives wiped out.
The train dispatcher has EN- chang
ed. and the above Is the key to the
change. 1t happened q few weeks ago
and at night. The Wash ton special
pas. enger had passed and b en- report
ed, but the operator failed to order the
through freight to a siding, and when
the operator thought of it it was too
late
Like lightning it flashed into his mind
that there were several hund Ell Poop
on the special and the heavy freight,
and were both running at rapid
rate. The result of n crash would be
something frightful. True 1t was an ac-
c.dent, but he saw the penitenuary
loom ng up before him. and, turning to
the private Office. he got his revolver
and loaded It, locked the door on the
inside and calmly informed the agent
that he could answer all gu ries on the
wire, adding: Until l hear from those
two trains as safe WI visit. If word
comes of the crash shall blow out my
b!ains. Five minutes. ten minutes, hf-
teen minutes passed and no report. a
ieW minutes mora ana there came the
click on the soundcr. TIL. agony of that
minute to the two men can probably
never be imagined. save by one in Il
similar position. Was it disgrace and
death that it brought or safety?
Click. click. click the sounder told the
story. Rounding the urve at Il her end
OF a straight run at the same instant,
both engineers had ell he situation at
Il glance. Down brakes had sounded
and every nerve was strained to avo d
the accident, and the two trains had
come to standstill but Il short fifty
feet apart The lives of hundreds but
an instant before in opardy were safe.
That is why a certain town has n
new night operator, and why one teleg-
rapher is living to-day who was pre-
pared to die. HIS resign ii was writ
ten that same night lie never touched
the key again.
