Mr.. Mills, who was anxious to get to
his home in Morristewn, suggested that
the party get off and walk to Jersey Citys
but those who saw some trairimen aoun-
dering through the drifts up TO theis

the suggestion.
When the party had thus been stalled

After a thorough investigation of the
charges Of alleged embezzlement against
ex-City Collector Cyrillus Robinson, Of
Bayonne, the Grand Jury, 1t is UNDER
stood has found a series OF indictments
against the ex-official. Ii is charged that
the shortage in Mr., Robinson's accounts
amounts to SAG. 500. This is quite sum
for a city of Bayonne's size TO lose, and
it is more than likely that unless the
amount is made good suit for its recoy-
cry win be instituted against Robinson's $
bondslnan. To all outward appearances
the ex-Collector was a man of property
and when it was discovered that he had
been approprfating the funds entrusted
to his care it caused a sensation. Mr..
Robinson's excuse that it was due
to faulty bookkeeping Will not help him
when his trial takes place He led a
quiet life, was not given 10 speculation
and where the missing money went is
what puzzles his friends. 1t was dis
covered by the Grand Jury in lis invests
cations tliat the books Of the ex-Collector
had been tampered with in an effort to
hide the shortage.

A committee Of citizens and property
owners in the Horseshoe section, who
are in favor of the Erie Railroads appli-
cation for the vacation of Barnum street,
had an interview yesterday with Mayor
Pagan. These men pointed out to the
Mayor thar tile street IS practically use
less to the city, while it will be Of great
benefit to the railroad company. The
committee, evidently speaking by author
ity, proposed that the city, if it insisted
on having a money consideration for the
use Of the street, place the figure at $15,-
900. This amount, il was said, is what
the railroad values it at. The company,
tie committee said, wonld be willing to
pay interest on that amount at 4 per
cent. BY this arrangement the city would
receive $500 a year, and the railroad
company, as a further inducement,
stands willing to pay the interest per-
petually Mayor Pagan has the PROPOSE
tion under consideration.

When Will the work Of building the
new Court House be startedg That is
the question that has often been asked
within the last few months. The Free
holders have all the legislation that is
needed and there appars no reason why
the Improvement should be longer de-
layed. The committee that will have
charge of the construction Of the building
has not been organized, though it has
been stated that when it does Daniel
Smith. one of the secretaries of the Rob
ert Davis Association, will be its clerk.
and that james Billingtom who has made
fortune in his business Of builder will
supervise the work Of construction. For
The benefit Of these two men, if for no.
other reason, the work should be started
at once. Ellington especially should be
given a chance to draw the salary.

NAVAL WIRELESS
NEAR COMPLETION

Whether the storage batteries for the
new wireless station are to be pur-
chased here or sent from the Mare Is
land yard is the question now delaying
the completion of the naval wireless
station. The new station will soon be
finished The current for the naval
wires will be much more powerful than
that used by the Inter-Island system,
since the latter has splendidly -insulat
ed receivers, and can detect and reg
lister a very slight disturbance.
II Honolulu is ever connected with
the mainland by wireless, II Is said
neither OF the existing stations here
could be used, except as auxiliary sta
lions. The pole for a trans-oceanis
station would have to be several timer
higher than that at the naval station
and on the other side Of the island
and the current would have to be ex
traordinarily strong.

FIGHT FOR TARIFF REVISION.

Prominent Massachusetts Republicans
ss Begin Agitation.
Boston, Sept. l8.-The Massachu-
sets committee Of 100 on reciprocal
trade, which is composed Of many
prominent Republicans, has issued a
call to Republican voters to join with
them to secure the adoption of a
plank in the platform of the coming
Republican state convention favoring
3 revision of the tariff. Republican
voters were asked to forward a petit
ton to the, convention to insert the
following in the platform:
eve demand that hides, coal, iron
ore, lumber and wood pulp be placed
by congress on the free list and that
duties on manufactured and other
articles be reduced wherever existing
duties are higher than are needed for
any just purpose of protection
The committee declares that ex-
IRENE protectionist interests have so
far influenced the machine of the
Republican party Of thAstate that it
does not intend to have expression
given to the tariff revision sentiment,
but instead to suppress at the conven-
ton any genuine declaration in favor
of it and to nominate one or more
candidates known to be hostile to the
policy.
Republicans are urged to nominate
candidates who favor tariff changes
and closer trade relations with Can
ada and Newfoundland.
