Number Of Poll Taxes.

The total number of poll taxes
collected by County Collector Ler-
ma up to last night was 9e3. This
includes both city and county pre-
cincts. The number paid by wards
in the city of Brownsville was as
follows:
1st. Ward. 2OS; End. Ward,
22S; 3rd Ward, III; 4th. Ward,
III; total for city, 724.
As the number of poll tax re-
ceipts issued represents the voting
strength of city or county, thus it
will be seen that not more than 724
votes can be cast in the coming
city election in Brownsville.

Mr.. Anglin has been at Browns
vile for some years, having come
here first as special treasury agent,
which Office he held until it was
abolished. Later he spent two
years in the ranger service under
Captain Brooks. Since leaving the

position of night Waterman at the
Federal building. He has proven
faithful in all capacities and will
doubtless make a capable inspector.
Celso Olvera has been appointed
night Waterman at the Federal
building in Mr.. Anglin's place.
1t is hoped that THE HERALD's
troubles over the power question
are settled now, for a time
at least, as new gasoline en-
CINE was today installed and har-
messed to the presses. The new
machine is a 4-1-2 horse power
Olds sngine, and is claimed to be
ore of the best on the market. The
engine was purchased in Houston
by the proprietor of THE HERALD
Wednesday and shipped by ex-
press, reaching Brownsville Thurs
day night, being set up and used
to publish Fridays (today's) pa
per, which is truly quick work.
An incident of last Sundays
bull fight in Matamoros which has

an accident by which Carlos Fox,
one of the amateur toreros had one

young man will be laid up for
some time as a result of it. Mr..
Fox is a nephew of Don Manuel
Cardenas of Matamoros and also
related to the Benevendo family.
His mother was notified by wire of
the accident and came at once from

A cowboy riding in Central

TWO BLOWS AT MURPHY
PIER LEASES REVOKED.
BenseE Decides Improvements Need
ed. and Sinking Fund Acts.

As foreshadowed In The Tribune on Sunday
and Tuesday the Sinking Fund Commission
yesterday ousted the Murphy interests from the
West Goth street and West 155th street piers
Al 9Srh street the New York Contracting ard
Trucking Company held dumping board priv
iIege at a merely nominal rental. II being a priv
ilege granted by the Dock Board six years ago.
when Charles F. Murphy was treasurer of
company OF which his brother and aldermen
were the owners. Philip F. Donohue. treasurer
Of Tammany Hall. had the bathhouse privilege
al the l55th street pier Like the other pier, Il
turned in a net revenue Of about $4,000 year.
A week ago the Sinking Fund Commission
ousted the Murphy company from the 18th
street pier. The same reason was given in each
instance, namely. that the city desired TO make
permanent improvements at the places named.
Under the law the city can abrogate lease for
pier property whenever II is deemed necessary
10 make permanent change.
Dock Commissioner Bensel yesterday re-
ouested approval for improving the waterfront
between West 1880 and West 15Sth streets The
Commissioner said:
While think better location for a possible
ferry in This neighborhood could be selected.
think the plan as presented may properly re-
oeive the approval of the Commissioners OF the
Sinking Fund
a oeieBallon OF property owners or the neigh
borhood made a protest against the idea OF IN
stalling a ferry at that point"
Commissioner Bensel said that before ferry
was installed il would have 10 come before the
board in the application for a franchise. He
thought that that would be the proper time TO
make protest.
On behalf Of Philip T. Donohue. Howard &
Sons and Joseph A. Hennesy, a protest was pre-
scented against the proposed plan the ground
that there was no necessity for the Improvement
AZ the place suggested: that the expenditure OF
public money upon the Improvement Of the
waterfront would be wasteful and extravagant.
and that owing TO the grade OF the only possible
approach TO the waterfront, the improvement
OF II would be useless.
The board, IN vote. approved the plan and
authorized the Improvement The plan OF Com
missioner Bensel for the Improvement on the
waterfront from West 94th 10 West 95th street
ana also between West 97th and West 9Sth
streets, was also approved and authorized
The Commissioners granted the request Of the
United States Transportation Company to lease
q pier at West 44th street and North River and
o. the Fabre Italian Steamship Line for the
