THE EQUALIZATION.
Territorial Board Enters Upon Its
 August Session.

The August session of the territorial board of equaliza tion was begun yes terday. All the members were present who telegraphed that he was detained by a meeting of the republican central committee of his county, but that he would arrive this morning. The new member from this county. Frank H. Parker, appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of NJ. P. Freeman of Pima county, took his seat.
 The board went through the state ments submitted by the boards of su- pervisors of the several counties, most of which had been on hand for week. In the absence of MT. Ohl nothing was finally decided upon. but the work was so well outlined that it can be finished in very short time. It is possible that it will all be done today.
 There is comparatively little equaliz- ing to do. The assessors of the cOun- ties came nearer getting together than they had ever done before. All of them, however, were careful not to get too high. so that the equaliZing will consist mostly of raises. The average of the assessments will not be much higher than it was year ago. The returns made by the county supervisors amount to about $5O0.OOO more than they diG last year.
 The greater part of this increase comes from Coconino county in the item of railroad lands. which are put in this year at $2 an acre. ten times as much as they were returned for last wear.

MARTHA WAS STRENUOUS
Colored Woman Gives Officer Law.
 renee a Hard Tussle.

Miss Martha Washington, a saffron hued woman, was on trial yesterday afternoon in the police court on a charge of disorderly conduct
 Martha was arrested Saturday night by Night Policeman Lawrence. She was having good time in the house of Mrs. Singleton, on Madison street, but was in a condition of much hilar- ity, and Mrs. Singleton had much ado to persuade the woman to leave, but it was not until the arrival of MT. Lawrence on the scene that she con- sented to return home, and left with that intention in the company of Leu Chickenny, who was one Of the party.
 Instead of proceeding straight home Martha tarried on the way to test the power Of her lungs. She had been in- dulging in copious quantities of Mex ican liquor, and it made her light head ed. The neighbors did not take kindly to Martha's efforts 10 give them ser enade, tor she was sadly out of tune. Officer Lawrence heard the yelling some distance away, and thinking that a band of drunken cowboys were hay ing good time, investigated and found that Martha was having a quarrel with Chickenny, who was trying to persuade her to go home. When the officer ap- pcared she dashed into her house and locked the door, while Chickenny at tempted to remonStrate with the off, cer. For his interference he was placed under arrest, and Lawrence then at tempted to force an entrance into the house.
 He finally succeeded in rounding up Martha, but the struggle was to come She bit and clawed at the officer, and Chickenny took a hand in the fracas by hampering Lawrence. He had to be handcuffed, but without Chickenny the chocolate colCred maiden was a burden in herself. She had to have the nippers put on her, but even then made it interesting. Lawrence finally man. aged to get his prisoners to. the jail by pushing Chickenny ahead of him and dragging Martha.
 ''Fo' de goodness sakes, Jedge, I dun muffin tall, an l don't member a thing erbout me being streperous," she explained to the police judge. She was fined $10. Chickenny. who had put up cash bond of $10 the night before to appear for trial failed to put in an appearance, so the bond was declared forfeited.
 Francisco Berduca, a Mexican wom- an charged with being drunk and dis orderly, was fined 8.
 John Doe, a sleeping drunk, was sen fenced to five days.

STOLE THE GUN
But the Right Man Had Not Made
 Complaint.

Joe Verdugo was on trial in Justice Burnett's court yesterday charged with stealing a revolver from the Park the atre. The complaint against him had been sworn to by Manager Stechan. who made the usual allegation in such cases that the property was his. The examination left no doubt that Yer dUgo had stolen the gun. but it was de Velcped that the pistol was prop erty" of the theatre and that it had been rented for that purpose from |. Rosenzweig and that at the end of the engagement it would be returned to him. Attorney Flannigan. who was de- lending Verdugo, moved to dismiss on the ground that the proof was at vari- ance with the complaint in the matter of ownership. There was nothing to be done but allow the motion.
 A little later MT. Rosenzweig ap- peared and swore out another com plaint against Nerdugo. but by that time he had disappeared. From what the officers knew of his habits they did not believe they would have a great deal of trouble in finding him.
 Bartolo Modena and M. Castillo had been arrested the night before for fighting. When the time for trial came neither of them was present, but Mo dena was found on the street and when he was brought in he pleaded previous acquittal of the offense. He said he had already been tried in Justice Gray court. It was proved by telephone message that the story was true and h. was discharged. Castilla could not b. found.
 Ed. Riley. NJ. Valenzuela and Jesus Majori were all found guilty of having been drunk and each was sentenced |, seven days in the county jail.

BLOOMS IN THEIR JUMPERS
Hoboken Longshoremen Do
Homage to Beauty Neg
lected BY Royalty.

The longshoremen employed on the Ho-
boken steamship piers are strutting about
this morning with roses stuck In the
lapeis of their jumpers. The boutonnieres
were secured by the men from pile OF
discarded roses used in the decorations
for the dinner given by Prince Henry on
the steamer Deutschland the day before
he sailed. When the crimson American
beauties, stHl quite fresh, were piled on
the pier this morning they attracted adj
mirsng glances from the dock brigade and
half an hour later they had nearly all
disappeared. Each knight of the hand
truck had captured several of the beauT
tifu1 flowers and had fastened them on
his greasy jumper with an air that would
do honor to the Prince himself.
THE devil take him who ehucks away
sieh handsome plants remarked one of
the men as he gently touched his nose TO
fragrant flower Sure an Irish prince
would not be guilty Nv the loike O. that, :"
exclaimed another.
When the men lined up on the pier at
noon they presented a gallant appearance.
Visitors stopped TO admire the procession
and one man actually inquired if the
Prince was in the neighborhood.

MILITARY BOARD
Will Ask for Increased Appro-
priations This Year.

Especial to THE Jersey City News. j
TRENTON, March 12 1992-An interest
ing meeting of the State Military Board
was held yesterday at the office of Adjp-
tant General Oiphant in the State House,
and matters of Importance discussed.
Money was the main topic of discus
sion and it is expected that an increase
will be asked in the appropriation for
the support of the State militia.
The improvements in the rifle practice
at Sea Girt and the increase of a regi-
ment will necessitate more money.
Assemblyman Lords bill changing the
military lay was one of the matters con-
sidered. The board has been at work
upon this bin for some time, and an ef-
fort has been made to eliminate all in
definite points in the law
While the bill is voluminous in its word
ing, the purport of the whole matter is
the changing of the military law so that
one section shall not conflict with an
other.
The principal points involved are the
changes in methods of procedure IN
some cases. and a more comprehensive
meaning in others.
AT the close of the military board
session to discuss plans and specitica-
tionss
1t was decided to advertise for bids
for the work. and they will be received
mp to March 26, when the commission will
consider them all and probably award the
contract at once.
