WILLBORR0W$2,000 Police Pension Fund Finds Cur rent Funds All Ex-
 hausted. CANNOT USE PRINCIPAL First Time Since Fund Was Instl- tuted That Money Has Been
 Borrowed.

The run that has been made of late on the police pension fund in this city out of which are paid the pensions of retired officers in the department has put the fund in a predicam ,lt which 1t has never been in before since its institutions. The fund is Inder the control of the board of police commis- sioners of the city and it has recently been found necessary by the board to borrow the sum of 5000 for the pay ment of the pensions because the cash on hand in the fund is exhausted. The s2,000 was borrowed with the principal of the fund as security.
 The pension fund was established by the state by the setting aside of five per cent. of the fines secured from the conviction in cases of violation of the liquor law. To this has been added continuously two per cent. of the wages of each man in the department each week. The interest alone of the fund has been used and under the law which established the pension only this interest can be used This makes a principal of about $5o,o0O which cannot be touched. The interest has just at present proved insufficient for the pay ment of the pensions due .pd so the amount has been borrowed on the prin- ciral.
 While this run on the money arrived at an inopportune moment the law for bade that the principal be touched and in accordance with the law 1t became as the pensions for which the men have paid their percentage during their | active career could not be skipped.

The greatest enthusiasm and interest and the hardest kind of work were manifested last night by the contestants and two of the dis tiicts were carried only after the gal lantest kind of fight in which record votes were cast Nearly S0,000 ballots were cast altogether last night and most of these came in between the hours of eight and ten when the balloting ceased and the three judges selected George Y. Hewlett, Sidney ?. Butler and r. II. Belden, yr, started the count of the ballots which lasted for long time after the boxes had been closed.
 The fercest fight was nude in the first district where Miss Rose German succeeded in maintaining her lead to the very end by a great rally which kept her just safely ahead of Miss Anna Penney who made q great eleV- enth hour rally also. Miss Berman totaled 20,607 votes, while Miss Pen ney showed her popularity by getting 1S,3S6 in the box ,sfore closing time.
 In the second district Miss Isabel Keenan was an easy winaer,. but she did not let up at all determined that no one should snatch victory from her by last minute fight She polled ! 17,075 and had no opponent within reach at the end.

 "1f the republicans nominate Lilley for governor the democrats will carry the state in the coming state election. The democrats will probably put up either Archibald McNeil of Bridge port or A.
