A DISASTROUS TRIP.
Boston Man Is Thrown Into a
Ditch and Then Taken
to Jail.

A coupe belonging to the Imperial Hotel
stables, Thirty-first street and Broadway,
drawn by one horse and having r. f..
Fields, of Boston, Mass, the occupant, was
upset into a sewer excavation on Bay
View avenue near Garfield avenue. The
horse, driver and fare all escaped injury.
The coupe was broken up almost beyond
repair.
Patrolman Vreeland was walking along
Garfield avenue when a man in a carriage
hailed him and said that an accident had
occurred up Bay View avenue. Vreeland
jumped into the rig and drove back to the
scene of the accident and found Fields
underneath the cab shouting like wild
man, "Police! Fire! Thieves! My
Watch,' etc. Chanceman Palmer heard
the shouting and ran to the assistance of
his brother officer.
Fields when extricated said: 1.-THE man
with the buttons has my watch"
Palmer looked around on the ground and
found the watch lying near the cab.
Fields had been visiting friends at Fifty
fourth street and Avenue D, Bayonne. He
was in a very hilarious mood when the
accident occurred, and was so noisy that
he was arrested and charged with disor-
derly conduct at the Fifth precinct sta
ton house.
Fields claims he is the son of wealthy
pawnbroker who used to do business in
Canal STREET New York He was out to dc
Jersey City, but succeeded in getting pret-
ty nearly done up himself When his
pockets were gone through at the station
house it was found that the watch which
he had been so worried about was one
which, in the parlance of the profession
would be termed 'phoney" He had be-
sides the watch, s17.01, keys number Of
letters and card offering 5000 reward fo1
the return of lot of jewelry to the
Metropolitan police of Washington, D. C
The result of his trip will be that Fields
will have to answer in court for disturb
ing the citizens of Greenville.
To add insult to injury the driver of the
rig spent about seventy cents trying te
get in communication with the Imperia
over one of the automatic telephones.

CHILD LIFE IN PEKIN.
The Rev. Isaac Had1and Talks to
Centenary Church.

A very interesting and entertaining
lecture on "Child Life in Pekin,' illus
trated with stereoptican pictures was de-
livered last evening at Centenary Church
by the Rev. Isaac 7. Hadland. The lee
turer had spent many years in China as
a missionary and his pictures were taken
from life. He is an agreeable talker and
speaks the Chinese language f1uently.
He said that the lives of children in
China were entirely different from our
general understanding. The common sup
position that many female infants were
destroyed was not true. He frightened up
his subject with many flashes of wit.
The object of the lecture was to raise
funds for the Christmas entertainment
and festival. The auditorium was well
filed. Another entertainment will be
given for the same purpose on Christmas
Eve. Projectoscope pictures will be one
of the features.

Greenville the tragedy of last August
when Chief Hogan attempted to murder
his wife in q fit of jealousy by attacking
her with a knife
He almost succeeded, and then he com
mitted SUICIDE himself. Both were in the
hospital, where the Chief died of his
self-inficted wounds, but Mrs. Hogan,
after long illness. recovered.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Herig was re-
ticent. He simply said:-"We went to
Newark with two friends and were mar
ried in a Lutheran Church there 1 think
know my own mind and can do as 1
see fit He would not tell the name of

Der, refused to marry them. When he
was seen yesterday he declined to make
any statement whatever.

ty and local health boards the spread of
tn edisease has been prevented.
At the time mentioned a number OF pa
tients had to be cared for in tent erect~
ed for temporary use in secluded part OF
Snake Hill, and the old Washington Hotel
On Tonnele avenue was hired for the pur-
pose of isolating some of the unfortunate
victims.
owing to the cold weather at the time
the disease broke out the tent was fo1nd
to be very poor substitute for a properly
constructed hospital. and the distance
from Snake Fill to the temporary quar-
ters provided for some of the sufferers
operated to their disadvantage.
The present pest house is an antfquated
frame structure situated a short distance
from the old asylum, which is now used
as home for aged male paupers. This
accommodations for the care of patients
IN this institution are most primitive. The
only attendants are the warden, Edward
w Havens, and the matron, Kate Bur-
CESS.
The contagious disease hospital. situ-
ated at the southern side of the hill, Is
much more modern structure. but Is at
present occupied by number Of pauper
ehildrn afflictd with an eye disease
which has been more or less epidemic at
Snake Hill for years.
These little unfortunates cannot be re-
turned to the Aims House for fear Of COM
tagion resulting.
The concensus of opinion is that IL small
pox should become epidemic the county,
facilities for caring for tn evictims of the
dread disease will be found grossly inade-
quate. and immediate steps will have to be
taken by the Board of Freeholders to in
crease the present accommodations.

companies should be required by express
provision to make such return.
The board, therefore, respectfully adj
visessthat an amendment directing all cor
porations to make such return be adopted
by the Legislature If this is not done,
the result will be a useless amount of liti-
cation, occ asioned by companies which
have been delinquent in making their re-
turns. and which would be taxed in de-
fault on their full authorized sapital
stock applyiag to the Supreme Court to
set aside taxes which are unjust and
which would not have been levied We're
the board in possession of the facts, but
which the board must necessarily impose
in order to derive the benefit for the State
which is intended by the statute.
'In the report Of the board for 1898 the
attention of the Legislature was called
to the fact that certain specially mem
toned classes of corporations were taxed
upon the basis of receipts for business
done in the State during the year ending
January 1. and certain other classes upon
the basis of receipts for the year ending
February L. preceding the assessment
No mention is made in the act of any date
as of which the tax should be assessed
against all other corporations taxed upon
capital stock. and the board suggested
that some remedial legislation be had cor
recting this apparent defect in the orig1-
nal law and it's various amendments.
mo such remedial legis' alton was
enacted, and the Board, in lieu of other
authority, by resolution duly appointed,
fixed January / as the date as of which
all corporations taxed upon capital stock,
exclusive of those specially mentioned,
should make their returns. In some in
stances corporations which reduced their
capital stock subsequent to the first of
January were taxed upon the amount of
the capital stock issued as of the first
of January, and feeling themselves ag-
grieved by the tax thus imposed, took
their cases to the Supreme Court and at
the last term of court, in the case of the
Brewing Improvement Company, the
Court held, Justice Dixon writing the
opinion, that the proper date which
should be taken for the purpose of taxa
ton was April is, the date of the APP
proval of the act. For the purpose of a
prompt and efficient disposal of the bust
ness of the Boar, the Board respectfully
suggests and urges that the taxing date
be set by statutory enactment as of jan
uary l, in each year, instead of April Is"

An Enqlish Election.

The parliamentary elections in Great
just concluded were eXtraordi-
narily bitter, and the mud singing ex-
ceeded even that INDUCED in during an
American presidential campaign. Mem
bers of the ministry have been charged
with having a financial interest in gov
eminent contracts, and the Liberals
have been arraigned as traitors. There
have been challenges to libel suits, and
honorable members of parliament have
called each other liars if nothing worse.
The ordinary amenities of life were sus-
pended, and it was a low-toned election
V throughout, with many
breaches of good taste and fair play.
Well-bred Englishmen shrug their
shoulders and confess that the stand
ards of party politics have been lowered
by offensive personalities and malig-
nant assaults. All of which makes an
American grin, for this country has long
been held up to ridicule and scorn
by Anglo-maniacs for the fervor with
which it engages in a presidential cam
paign every four years.

The BRYAN OF New Mexico.

Mr.. L%arraZolo is trying hard to earn
co. which some fool s~ycophants at his
heels bestowed upon him. He succeeds
as far as lodging issues is concerned.
To the miners in Grant county he talks
free silver and free wool; to the sheep
men of Chaves county he does not men,
ton these subjects, wen by intimation,
but talks about the iniquities of the
wool trust and the high price of coal
and to the later settlers in New Mexico
he talks about the dangers to the re-
public. There are several other special
subjects which he decants upon in spe-
cial sections and upon special occasions,
always carefully avoiding the Bryanite
issues which would give offense to his
hearers. Now, the Republican party
has nothing to hide, nothing to special
wool in every part of the territory; ii
breaches statehood in the north as well
as in the south; it believes in the Amer
lean flag in Chaves county as well as in
Taos county: it deems expansion a ne
cessity as well as an opportunity,
whether saying so at Carlsbad or at
TERRA Amarillo; it is a sound money
advocate from the San Juan to the Rio
Pecos; in short, Hon. B. S. Rodey need
not dodge issues, he need not excite
race prejudice and sectional selfishness
i n defending the stand he and his party
have taken. By comparison, Mr.. LARA
zolo and the issues he dwells upon and
those he avoids are far inferior to Mr..
Rodey and the grand principles for
which he stands.
