 The next case occupied considerable time. It was the case against Julius Weinberg for assaulting David Polush- kin last Sunday morning. Attorney Kennedy appeared for the defense. It seems that Polushkin was janitor of the Jewish synagogue on Canal street and occupied three rooms in the base ment and one was used as bath room. He has not paid rent for the past year. though he used both the gas and water, and for this the synagogue had to pay. Last Sunday Weinberg was elected vice-president of the synagogue, and he immediately proceeded to collect the back rent due by Polushkin. The latter, it seemed, had the bath tub full for the bath of his Italian customers, he said, and Weinburg undertook to pull the stopper and empty the bath tub.. This performance was under taken under great excitement. and 1t was then Polushkin claimed Weinburg struck him in the left eye, making a wound that required three stitches. Weinburg denied striking the man, but said he fell against corner of the bath tub and got the wound. All the finan- cial troubles of the synagogue he at- tributed to Polushkin. including the loss of its lease. He admitted that had he struck the man that would have been the last of him, he would be read. sure" said he. He claimed that this morning Polushkin sent for him and offered to settle the case for money. Weinburg was fined $10 and costs.

Boston, May S.--''It Is fraud on the community to allow any divorced woman to resume her maiden name where there is child. Tn many cases where application is made I refuse it, and never allow 1t without proper in- quiry' said Judge Fessenden yesterday morning, when motion was offered in the divorce court that iibelant in a case heard earlier in the week should be allowed to resume her maiden name.

 The report was accepted and ordered on file.
 Commissioner Lord wanted to know why the report showed only $f70 for percentages, while 1t contained credit of $16,000 receipts for taxes on list Of 1901. This, he said, was about teu months interest at 9 per cent, some thing in the neighborhood of $1,200.
 MT Goss asked Comptroller Russell if the percentages were charged up against the collector in the same man ner as other collections. MT Russell said 1t was not, the percentages being private account.
 Isn't that loose way of doing busiS ness?" inquired MT Goss. 'The collec- tor is at liberty to pay the percentages when he pleases, semi annually, annu- ally or not at all"
 MT Russell: That's true, but it Is the nSivilege of this board to change it whenever 1t so desires. The system never was different, so that there is nothing new in 1t now"
 On motion of Mir Lord the chair ap-4 pointed committee consisting of Com7 niissioners Lord and Wells to act with the treasurer in talking over this mat ter with the collector.
