TRENTON, July s, 1901.-The first of
July completed eight months of the fiscal
year of the State of New Jersey, and
when considered in relation to the great

wide interest. The amount received for
the filing of original certificates of incor-

Increase of stock is $4s3,024 nearly two
hundred thousand dollars more than was

June, 500, OIL Total, s4s3,024.
The State Board of Assessors, who
taxes these corporations, filed on July a
the second schedule of corporations, rep
resenting 1863 smaller corporations whose

game of tag.
Samuels was in the middle of the
canal when his companions heard him
cry out and an instant later disappear.

believing he was fooling. Then he re-
appeared and they saw a look of terror
on his face as he disappeared for the
second time. Two of the older boys

they seized him.
The drowning boys struggles baffled

into the water. The boys watched him
as he dived and after a long wait they

soon brought him back to life.
..That makes the thirteenth life I've
saved" remarked the tramp as he
walked away.

SNEAK THIEF's RECORD
Chief Murphy Finds Out Wha
Murray Has Been Doing.

The record of the sneak thief, Frank
Moran alias Murray, who was arrested
by Patrolman Mcmahon, on Wednesday
last and committed on a charge of break
ing and entering a house on Highland
avenue, and who attempted to commit
suicide in a cell in Police Headquarters
on the Fourth by cutting an artery of his
left wrist with a trousers buckle, has
been run down by Chief of Police Muir
ply. When searched after his arrest
piece of paper was found on the band in
side of his hat bed:-"Frederick G.
Murray, March, 1901, three months"
Since his commitment Moran, or Muir
ray, had been confined in a cell at Police
Headquartrs until the chief sought his
record. He refused to tell who he was
and pleaded the old game that he didn't
want to disgrace his family. He re-
ferred to prominent business men in
Buffalo for reference and denied that he
was a thief or that he had entered the
house in Highland avenue.
Chief Murphy has ascertained that
Moran, or more probably Murray, was
sent to Blackwell's Island on March IS
for three months for breaking and enter
ing. Chiefs Clerk William Robinson
went up to the N. Y. District Attorneys
office in Harlem Saturday and ascer-
tanned that Moran had gotten off with the
light term of three months on account of
the reputable names of the same Buffalo
men he had given Chief Murphy for
reference.
The Chief called Moran, of Murray,
before him and told him how easy it was
for the police to get records of people;
that he had got Moran's record for two
cents. When the chief confronted him
with his record he bowed his head and
said:-"Chief, you've got me-" He was
then sent up to the County Jail to await
the investigation of the Grand Jury.
