Fortunately the roofs were damp and
people lively. and no disastrous fire, or
fearful burn has been recorded, but it
is wholly owing to that ever doubted
but sometimes wonderfully tangible
quality called luck. There, seemed to
be no restraint whatever upon the
firing of crackers or the explosion of
bombs, which have SO often demon
strAted their power as tire-setters and
limb-breakers. But having escaped
disaster, nobody can realize how
near it has been, or how much life
and property is to the good from
fortuitous results amid dangerous sur
roundings. A few years ago the dis
charge OF fireworks WAS restricted to
safe bounds, but then the town was
ran by old fogies.

An INSOLENT CABNAN.
TWO WOMEN PREFER TO BE LANDED ON
THE SIDEWALK RATHER THAN SUB
NIT TO EXTORTION

A New-York cabman gave an exhibition Of his
what-ere- you gong-to -do-shout-it methods a few
days ago. which may have caused him and his
fellow cabmen some amusement. but there was
little fun in the experience for the women who
had engaged him.
His stand was in the Fifty-ninth-st. Plaza. and
there he engaged at 81 hour by the women,
who were asked to step in without any further
question. They did some shopping. and then made
a call in Fifth-ave. above Eghteth-st. From there
they wished to go to Eighty -seventh-st.
"IH go further uptown said the cabman.

But the agreement was 81 hour it not?''

The women rather than submit TO extortion got
out, and their bundles and packages were put on
the sidewalk.

women she paid him. and I shall report YOU"

away with another victory TO his credit.

REDUCTIONS IN BUDGET TO BE MADE
BY DISMISSAL OF EMPLOYEES.

The Board of Estimate and Apportlonment'
after an extended consideration of the various
schemes for lessening the city budget. yester-
day practically decided that reductions must De

changes in salaries.
Controller Grout has contended from the start
that the budget ought not to be allowed to ex-
coed sos, 900. 600. 100000, 600 at the outside
A slight comparative increase could be ac-
counted for easily, in the Controllers opinion.
by the fact that the tentative budget did not
allow for certain large expenditures actually re-
quired by the charter. This omission was deho-
crate, apparently, and would have required
largely increased budget revision If Tam
many had The Tammany revised budget
would doubtless have been in the neighborhood
of S1O6 900 COO instead of sos 900, 900. This
dition of affairs makes it difficult for the new
administration to provide for mandatory ex-
penses and keep the budget within the $100,OoO,-
600 mark.
member Of the Board of Estimate in refer
ring to the subject yesterday said to a, Tribune
reporter:
About the best thing to do is to dismiss
employees from all the bureaus, and reorganize
the stats that the work can be done with
reduced forces. This was possible in Register
Ronner's office, where about twenty-five men
were dismissed. and it will be found to be feast
bic in other departments. The law permits dis
missals for purposes of economy, and in order
to reduce appropriations 10 per cent. as planned
by the Controller and Mayor. 1t will be neces-
sary to make dismissals right and left. Next
year some of those employees, whose names, by
the way, will be the eligible list, viii be put
hack. The dismissals will be a good thing for
the departments, as it Will allow the commits
sioners to drop incompetent men wherever
known BY the time money is ready TO pay for
additional help it may he that some of the civil
Service eligible list will have been revised. 1t
would be a good thing for the service If the
incompetents could be sifted out, but the Civil
Service pSotects a incompetent, once he is in.
Just about as efficiently it does an efficient
employe."
