BEACON FOR GRUBB'S LANDING

Washington, Dec. 6.-The letter OF
the secretary of the Treasury trans
mitting the estimates for approprla-
tions for the fiscal year beginning July,
1901, was presented I'm the House yes

priation OF $4,000 is recommended for

for a bulkhead at the quarantine sta
tion at the Delaware Breakwater.
Among the items recommended in con-
nection with the construction OF new

nance of those already existing. are a
number Of new recommendations for
lights on the Delaware river. At the
last session Congress authorized the
re-establishment Of range lights at

lstruction OF a new channel in the Della

at the last session of Congress. when
the bill was passed. The sum of 500
600 was authorized to be expended in
the work. and the appropriation oil

should be inserted in the Sundry Civil
BILL which is in charge of the Com.
mittee on Appropriations. and General

that the item is given a place. The re-
establishing of these lights is of tn,
highest Importance to the commerc,
of the Delaware river.

out by the Lighthouse Board that

wherever the mountain ridge enters into

said they would accept so per cent. of
the claims and no less.
Mr.. Cotton moved that they be allowed
500 apiece and if they did not want to
accept that let them institute suit.
Mr.. Denmark said $3.50 more would
cover their demand. He thought it bet
ter to pay it all.
Capt. Day thought it would be better
to pay the $3.50 than to 60 into a suit.
MY friends the lawyers always ask a
good fee when they strike this part of
the State added Capt. Day.
Mr.. Wellington: I'VE owe them all
or nothing"
Capt. Day: eve had anomalous con-
ditions. The Superintendent and Board
did not understand one another, and
there was the devils broth all around.
To get rid of some men we had resort TO
drastic measures. We had to go outside
the law maybe. The law pointed out
how we could get rid of these men, but
| could not do that
Mr.. Cotton said, with all due respect
to Capt. Day, he did not believe that a
UNSUITABLE cause for dismissing them
could be shown.
Capt. Day replied that there was cause
but he thought it cheaper to pay them
and be rid of them"
Mr.. Denmark's amendment to pay
them $3.50 was put
The vote stood 10 to against the
motion, all fusion members voting for it.
The motion to pay $500 was put and
lost.
Mr.. Cotton's motion to refer to the
Executive Committee, was put and was
carried.
Capt. Day asked that 500 per month
he paid Warden Green, and 500 be paid
to Clerk Pearson, instead of $50.
Mr.. Travis said that the institution,
both in it's condition, in the work and in
every thing connected with it had been
fortunate in securing Mr.. Green and
Mr.. Pearson.
The whole matter was referred to a
committee to consider and report.
REPORT OF EXEC. COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Travis made the report of the
Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors. 1t stated that the committee
had found Superintendent Days report
to be correct statement of the financial
condition of the Prison on January 1st
1900. 1t congratulated the people of the
State upon the splendid success" of the
institution ''in the face of much
critisicm and many difficulties and en-
barrassment." The institution it declared
to be in better shape than a year ago,
and a net profit for 1900 was predicted.
The report was referred to the COM
mittee on reports for consideration.
On motion of Mr.. Wellington the
chair appointed Messrs. Gwaltney
Thompson, Murphy, Hughes and Dock
cry committee to inspect the buildings
and grounds.

It Will Be Retained.

The directors Of the State Prison re-
NAMED in session all day yesterday,
adjourning at o'clock p. m. to meet
again next January unless called to meet
earlier.
The main things done by the Board
were to rent part of Northampton (Sum-

$4,000 il it can be had for that amount
and to elect officers for the ensuing year
The following officers were chosen:

The question as to whether the dis
charged supervisors shall be paid any
thing as hush money for the time their
elective terms ran after they were dis
charged by Capt. Day was left to the
executive committee with power to settle
after the board had voted down propo.
sition to pay them $500 and $3.50.
Capt. Day said the matter would be set

brought up in the board but was dis
-cussed informally among members some
favoring Il definite expression from the
Board, as the governing body, in regard
to the matter, particularly as Capt. Day
had said in his report that the prison
would have a clear surplus of $4,000
left after paying all its obligations, the
Sj5. 200 included, and as the State
Treasurer is in need of money to meet
the special appropriation of 100000 to
public schools. 1t was given out that
the $500 will not be repaid any time
shortly and probably not this year, if at
all, officials of the prison claiming that
its retention is necessary to the proper
conduct of the PRISONS affairs.
ESCAPE OF CONNECTS.
Immediately when the board met yes
terday morning Mr.. Cotton said lead
ing Judge had called his attention to the
fact that many desperate men escape
acter of desperate men should be made
known to the Executive Board by the
judges sentencing them, and that they
should not be sent to farms where, they
can escape.
Capt Day said nobody was sent to the
farms without consultation with the
Executive Board. Whatever had been
done, right or wrong, had been done
with the cooperation of the Executive
Board and they must share the response
hity.
Mr.. lie Grand said that with all due
respect to judges they often put a harsh
sentence on a man because of some I'M
toward circumstance. He thought the
convict should come up without his case
being prejudiced by the judge.

tive Committee that it had seen the at
