REPORT SEVEN COPS
SUPERI0RS HEAR CHARGES;
ONE FOR lMTOxlCATION.
Martin, of Third Precinct, Suspended by
His Captain, Will Be Put
on Trial,

1t took the Police Board two hours
yesterday afternoon to hear the cases
OF seven policemen who were reported
delinquent in their duty by their zap
talns. The commissioners decided that
as there seems to be no let-up in such
cases that they would deal even more
harshly with delinquents than In the
past.
Among the cases that occupied the
attention of the commissioners was
h a Of Policeman Robert Martin. of
the Third Precinct Station, who has
been a member of the force less than
a year and who was yesterday
suspended by Captain Christie, having
been found under the influence of
liquor While on duty.
While Martin is under suspension.
most of the testimony heard by the
hoard is said TO have been in his favor.
Martin, according to Captain Christie,
was sent out yesterday morning TO do
strike duty. He should have reported
at | p. M, but came in suddenly at 10
O'Clock and fell asleep in a chair. A
few minutes later a call came to the
station that a policeman was drunk
on duty in Ferry street. The desk SER
geant went to the assembly room to
get a patrolman to investigate the re-
port, and the man sent there said he
found Martin asleep. He at once called
Captain Christie's attention to Martin.
and Christie sent for Police Surgeon
Clark, who examined Martin and pro-
nounced him under the influence of
liquor.
Martin, according to a report made
TO the Police Board yesterday, was not
so badly intoxicated hat he could not
do duty, but he seemed to be 'bewil-
dered3.' From the place wher Martin
had been doing duty the police heard,
1t is reported, that he was not drunk
on that post. The board decided to
bring Martin up on trial on Thursday,
when the regular meeting of the board
will be held.
Captain Vogel, of the Fourth Pre-
cinct station, brought before the board
the charges made by a s~aloonkeeper
against Policeman George T. Neefus,
OF that precinct, to the effect that on
Sunday last the policeman accepted
money from him and then raided his
place. The board, pending a further
examination into the charge by Cap
tain Vogel, decided not 10 take any
definite action in the matter.
The commissioners were somewhat
exercised over the number OF policemen
who are late on their last cali. Five
cops were so reported to the commits
sioners, and the chances are that all of
them will be placed on trial Thursday.
The board held q secret session after

DUBUQUE, Ia, Sept. 24.-To lie for ten

lighted and placed about IN inches in the
wall and yourg Lorraine, blindfolded. was
induced to lie down in what to him seemed
a box, and the cover was fastened. The
covering soon was removed from his eyes.
and he awoke % tho realization that he
was in a coffin. There was sufficient air
to keep him rom smothering.

peared before the committee and requested
that the board extend the proposed pave
ment of the cutters on Bloomfield avenue
from the intersection of Campbell avenue
to a point past her property line, claiming
that the volume of surface water passing
her property was such as to frequently
cause large washouts, and inasmuch as the
work was being done up to her property
line. the street could easily be extended.
TIL committee will visit the site on Fri
dav.
County Engineer George F.. Drum came
in for censure by the members OF the COM
mittee. P. A. Matthews, contractor on
Bloomfield venue, has been searching for
him for several days to execute a contract
for widening Bloomfield avenue, but has
been unable to find him.. The members OF
the committee claimed that the engineer
should be present at every road committee
meeting. He should also be at his office
during the few hours each week, as per
his schedule. according to the contention
of the committee. But he is the hardest
n an in Essex County to find. according
to the members OF the committee, and Mr..
Matthews. and makes no effort to keep
Office hours or attepd committee meetings.
It is said.
A communication from H. c. Kramer,
counsel for the State Stone Road Commits
sioners, asked the clerk of the board to
send him the names of the contractors who
have constructed stone roads In Essex
County during the past ten years. This
Information is wanted, according to Mr..
Kramer, TO ascertain the reason for the
cost In stone road construction
during the past ten years. The request
will be complied with by the clerk of the
committee.
Walter r. Fairbrother, of High street,
West Nutley. complained that he has twice
been the victim OF a change in the grade
of the street in front Of his little homo
Each time the grade of the street has been
lowered four feet. and as his home was
built on a terrace four and a haif feet
high it Is now practically on stills. He
added in his communication that it would
now be necessary to construct a stone
wall and steps in front of his home aud a
new grade must be established on his lawn
costing approximately 800 which, he adds,
is "a pile Of money for a young couple
trying to pay for their home to pay out. "
He asks for some suggestion Of relief and
concludes by asking II IT Is not fair for
the county beard to meet half the expense.
The matter was referred to the county
and the State Supervisor of
Roads, which body VIII visit this county
on Friday.
After reading the communication from
e. c. Hutchinson, State Supervisor of
Roads. asking that the road committee send
road repair bills 20 that office for approval
on the auto license appropriation Of 4, 49l. 80.
the committee decided to ask the commits
sioner to place the money at the disposal
of the Essex County Board OF F~reeholdere
as provided In the automobile law.

IS PUT UP TO CRANE
COUNTY COUNSEL TO SEE
ABOUT ASSESSMENTS.
Verona and Caldwell People Don't Want
Old Levy on Records as Liens.
Drum Raped.

The County Road Board was yester-
day afternoon asked to take some ac-
ton whereby a number of assessments
levied about twenty-three years ago
against property owners in Bloomfield
avenue. in Verona and Caldwell, may
not appear on the records of Essex
County as liens against the respective
properties. The assessments were
levied against the properties by the
County Road Board, and subsequently
were declared illegal by the New Jer-
sey Supreme Court in the suit brought
by the State of New Jersey, James A.
Speer prosecutor, against the County
Road Board of Essex County, which
decision was afterward sustained by
the Court of Errors and Appeals, and
so reported in Vroom 10, the decision
being handed down on. June 3, 1885.
The matter was called to the atten-
ton of the county road board by Alfred
S. Badgeley, Of Montclair, counsel for
the Alexander Gould estate. who in
formed the members of the commit
teef that frequently clients of his are
called upon to pay the assessments
standing against their property before
being able to max a sale of lands so
a clear title can be given. This is done
by persons fearing some flaw in the
title, despite tile fact nat the Fidelity
and other title guarantee companies
have ignored the assessments because
of the decision of the courts.
Mr.. Badgeley said the money is al
ways accepted by the clerk of the
board despite the fact that it is being
paid under duress and that the county
is not entitled to receive 1t. He con-
sidered it a downright injustice and
said that he thought the county board
should see thai the liens are cancelled.
County Counsel Crane, who was at
the meeting, said hat he did not see
how the county board could take such
action. as 1t would then appear by the
records that the Freeholders had re-
ceived the money, but had made no ac-
c. uniting of 1t, and suggested that the
lawyer take some action in the courts.
In reply to this Mr.. Badgeley said
that he was perfectly willing to do so,
but thought that the matter could be
fixed up IN another way. He said the
assessments against his clients
amounted to several hundred dollars,
with accrued interest for r~wentv-three
years.
The matter was referred TO the county
counsel. who was directed to go into the
matter carefully. 1t is believed that the
/ county counsel and Mr.. Badgeley will
agree en- q statement OF facts and petition
the court to. cancel the assessments.

the conference with the police captains.
There was ONE discussion about a
speech credited to Policeman Walsh,
of Hoboken, who, at the recent con-
vention of the State Patrolmen's AS
ISOLATION in this city, is said to have
urged the members to boycott those
policemen who were not connected
with the organization. President Bladder
long ago went on record as against
any such conduct on the part of the
policemen. Other commissioners went
on public record yesterday as agreeing
wit Commissioner Bladder, although
it is not taken as indicating the real
feelings of a majority of the board.
