EQUITY ON VACATION.
Chancellor and Vice Chancel-
lors Close Up Shop for Their
Summer Vacation.


On Wednesday evening Vice Chancel=
lor Pfiney will sail on the 0ces "a j, fss.
England, and there will be no hearings
on motion days in Chancery Chambers
until September. Vice Chancellor Ste
venson. who sits in this city with Vice
Chancellor Pitney, is already off on his
vacation. He is among the woodland
streams endeayoring to enjoin the elusive
trout from disregarding the allurements
of his bait.
Chancellor w. j. Magic is rusticating
near Spring Lake and he won't be seen
in Trenton for many a day. His honor,
it is whispered, is spending many hours
on the golf links and is in excellent
health.
Mr.. Pitney sat this morning for the
last time before his departure for Eng,
land He rushed through his work and
was in very jovial mood. Several
lawyers shook hands with him and
wished him a pleasant vacation. He will
stay all the time in England, where he
has many old friends whom he visits
each year eli will be accompanied by
his daughter and son-in-law. When in
London the Vice Chancellor will look up
Sir Thomas J. Upton, whose guest he
was OF the Erin during the last cup
races. They crossed the ocean together
last year and spent much of their time
in each others company.
sGood, amiable fellow is Upton" re
marked the Vice Chancellor to a friend;
capital story teller
The Vice Chancellor himself is a ra-
contour of no mean order, and he dearly
loves a joke. Not long ago, during the
progress of case, he interrupted the
lawyers in it to tell of country scriv-
ener who drew up remarkable will for
man and which document provoked
much litigation.

a piece of sarcasm said the Vice Chan
cellor, .'that the lawyers in that county

WILL HAVE TO BE CUTTING

When the Board of Finance meets
again this afternoon to discuss the max
ins up of the budget for next year,
President Thomas w. Tilden of the Po-
lice Board and Chief Benjamin Murphy
will undoubtedly be present.
At an early hour this morning Presi-
dent Tilden and Chief Murphy called
upon President Jacob Ringle of the
Financiers at his place of business on
Newark avenue and had a quiet talk
about the Police Department appropria-
tions for next year. That which Presi-
dent Tilden was more particularly in
terested in than anything else, it is un-
derstood. was that the Finance Com
missioners couldn't cut out the amount
of 81, $40 requested to pay for promoting
ing patrolmen, to patrolmen; promoting
ten men from the third class to the
second class, and the appointment OF
between ten and fifteen new men. The
law allows the appropriation of enough
money for extra men in the department
each year, but it is optional with the
Finance Commissioners whether they
viii or will not provide the money. The
full amount asked for running the Police
Department next year is SAL, ,354.
At recent meetings of the Police Board
numerous applications for appointment
have been presented and in almost every
instance the applicant is member of
the Samuel d. Dickinson Association,
having joined with the understanding
that there would be something doing"
The time has arrived, if the Finance
Board will provide the money.
President Ringle of the Finance Board
when asked this morning by a reporter
for "The News" about his talk with
President Tilden and Chief Murphy, said:
"Oh. what can say about it. They
were here and like others want to get
everything, but that will be impossible.
.'There will have to be cutting. We
couldn't allow each Board the amount
asked. That is out of the question. Ny
idea is to keep the budget down as low
as possible
.sDid either President Tilden or the
Chief make any special reference to the
appointment of new men in the depart

A fifty-ton steam wrecking engine, the
largest owned by the Pennsylvania Rail

fore noon and dragged with it an eigh-
teen-ton iron girder. Both fell with a
crash that alarmed the neighborhood for
blocks around Two men narrowly es-
caped Il horrihle death by jumping from
positions of great danger at the moment
when a seconds delay would have meant
their end.
The only injury sustained was the
hruising of Engineer George Vests face
and left arm as he jumped from the cab

gan its rescend. james Torney, laborer,
who was guiding the girder, was drag
ged or thrown, he does not know which,
from the trestle to the sidewalk below
and the great mass of iron fell only a
few inches away from him. While he
was within deaths jaws he was not even
frightened, and later told his story be-
tween mouIf fuls of nearly lunch that
he seemed to enjoy just as if nothing had
happened.
STREET BLOCKED.
The street was completely blocked and
likely to remain so, according to 9. y.
Lewis, foreman Of the crew of the en-
CINE. for the remainder of the day.
The ruins are a mass of twisted iron
buried for two feet in the asphalted
street and tagged sidewalk and are a
picturesque sight, which holds the atten-
tion of at least thousand people, whose
anxiety to get within the danger lines
keeps platoon of policemen busy.
The wrecking engine is fitted with a
ball and tackle calculated to raise about
TWENTY-FIVE tons. 1t was brought to
Coles street with train laden with iron
girders that were intended to extend
across the street, the ends to rest on
recently constructed abuttments, and the
whole to hold a new set of tracks, for
which the railroad company recently be-
gan its extensions through Sixth street.
The girder was placed on two fiat cars
in the rear of the wrecker, the latter
being in the centre of the bridge. After
the chains were properly fastened about
the girder, ForemanTC. q. Lewis gave
the word to raise it, and Engineer West
in his cabin started the machinery. Mr..

Mr.. Nicely, who it will be remembered
was at one time connected with the
Cuban postal service, is being made the
object of much roundabout criticism on
account of the fact that he has demand
ed the return of the money taken from
him at the time of his arrest. Is Nicely
being treated fairly in this matter? The
remission of his prison sentence implies
that he was innocent, and if innocent
why should he not receive back his
money? He cannot be expected to re-
