HAS ANCIENT MUSKET.

Perhaps the Oldest gun in the
United States is that owned by
Alex. King of Richmond, Va. Nine
ty-seven years ago this month Kings
grandfather purchased a fintlock
musket, which at that time was the
very latest model in small firearms.
Today the piece is in working order
and can be fired as accurately as it
could when purchased. The gun was
made in 1914, the same year it was
purchased by the elder king.

THIEVES MAKE THIRD
ATTEMPT AT ONE HOUSE.

Last night, for the third successive
time, an attempt was made TO enteR the
home of Wenzel Binnewec, on the third
floor of 500 Camden street. by forcing
the rear porch door opening into the
kitchen. On each occasion the mis-
creant has been frightened away by
Mr.. Binnewec firing a pistol. Although
the matter was reported to the police
after the first attempt no publicity was
given the matter.
Their reticence, however, has not aided
IN the capture of the robbers, who rave,
visited the house since police assistance
was asked.
Mr.. Binnewec is captain OF walters
at Achtel- Stetter's restaurant and when
he arrived home from work about 3
O'Clock Monday morning his attention
was attracted by a light shining through
the keyhole and c~revices of the kitchen
door Walking softly tothe door he heard
two men at work trying to force the door
open with some instrument. Procuring
his revolver he again started for the door
and as he opened 1t he saw two men dis
appearing down the stairway. Mr.. Binne-
wee pulled the trigger FIVE times, but
only one of the bullets exploded.
Again Tuesday morning, shortly after 4
o'clock, Mr.. Binnewec heard the noise at
the door again and, running to the door,
caught sight of a man running away.
He fired several shots after him and
awoke the neighborhood, but the man
made his escape. That day he notified
the police
Yesterday morning was the third at
tempt at the same door, this time more
than an hour earlier. Though Mr.. Bin
W again went to investigate he saw
no one. Last night Mr.. Binnewec said
that he had no enemies and was at a
loss for an explanation for h unusual
persistence of the thieves.

omy; j. II. Joyce, who was Jones. a

TO PROBE WHY TURNPIKE
PAVING WORE OUT SO SOON.

Prompted by the recommendation of
Prosecutor Garvin. of Hudson county,
Supreme Court Justice Francis ]. Swayze
yesterday ordered a public investigation
of the paving of the Newark turnpike
and Belleville turnpike with amesite.
Court Commissioner Charles J. Roe was
named to take testimony.
This investigation will be consid-
cred a part of the Hudson County
probe now being conducted by James
Cameron. Mr.. Cameron has been in
structed by Justice Swayze to SUBJ
poena all the witnesses he deems
necessary TO settle the ownership of
the contracting company which Will
liam ]. Coughlin operates. This COM
pany recovered, with amiesite the
turnpike, and Edward p. O'Neill, al
though not the lowest bidder, got
the Bellevile turnpike on the job.
The amiesite has worn off both the
~turnpikes ano at present men are
covering each with crushed stone. al
though each contractor was supposed,
by the giving of a bond. to keep the
amiesite in repair for Ave years.

COUNTY TAXES
To TAKE JUMP
Tentative Budget of Freehold
ers Shows Rate Will Be
Increased.

That there will be a decided Increase
in the tax rate of the county this year
is indicated by the tentative figures
which were yesterday submitted to ~
finance committee of the Board of Free
holders. The tax rate will be increased
almost 10 per cent. alone by the and
tory appropriations. not counting any in
creases in the departments.
The Essex County Park Commission
sent in a letter in which a bond
issue Of $751; 600 for park improve
ment was requested. This is man.
datory under a law passed by the
last Legislature. So is the $75,100 asked
for by the Essex County Mosquito Ex-
termination Commission and the S12,0O0
asked for by the Office Of sealer OF
weights and measures.
And then right down the line the chair
men of the different committees, almost
without exception. asked for increased
annropriations while the finance com
niiftee itself thought it necessary in
many instances to increase the amounts
allowed.
IN court expenses. where $50, COO was
allowed last year, il is 100000 this year.
r,bis fund last year had an unexpected
balance Of $4,000, while this year less
than 5000 remains in the fund.
Election expenses was another item that
took a big Jump, DelnB iHcIcuSSu III
sim. 600 TO S145,0 900. il being explained that
the cost of holding the Presidential pri-
marles alone will be $4,000, while the
election expenses last year exceeded the
sum appropriated by almost $4,000.
Another place where there will be n
healthy Increase is in the matter of sala-
ries OF county officers, which last year
amounted TO $33, 900. No definite amount
was placed on this item yesterday. the
finance committee after a long discussion
leaving it open for further consideration
next Monday. when the committee Will
meet again.
1t developed during the talk that arbi-
trary increases In this account had been
made by the appointment OF an assist
ant county counsel at a salary of $500
a year, an assistant county engineer at
1900 n year, and by the appointment of
assistants in the county c~ounsels and
county collectors offices. as well as by
the appointment of a number of new

CITY MAY SAVE
ON ARG LIGHTS.

The Public Service Electric Company
nns submitted to the city a proposition
which is now under consideration for
the destruction of garbage by a series of
plants which would generate an electric
current suticiently strong to help in the
ngntlng or the city at a reduced cost.
AT the present time the city is paying
the Publ Service Company $40 a year
Tor each arc lamp. The new scale of
prices, which was submitted at a special
meeting of the Board of Street and Rail
way Commissioners yesterday, based on
a five-year contract, IL applied at present
would make the cost of the lamps now in
service $65.5S a year each.
The new proposal is In the form of a
sliding scale For the first $50 lamps
used the charge will be $50 each, the next
$500 will cost SIS, the succeeding 800 $40
and the next 800 lamps s65. All lamps
used over 1.750 will be charged for at $50
a. year each.
The present contract does not expire
until September and. consequently, no
definite action was taken. 1t was stated
by Chief Engineer Sherrerd that IL 400
lamps are added to the system in the
next five years under the new scale, as
was done in the last five years, the aver
age cost of the lamps would be reduced
to $b4.55 a year each,' thus saving the
city approximately 50 on each light.
Another saving In the cost of street
lighting was suggested in a plan to estab-
fish one. garbage disposal plant on the
City Dock and sell the live steam devel-
oped to the Public Service Corporation.
one of whose plants adjoin the suggested
site. Dudley Farrand, of the electric
company. agreed to submit figures that
the company would agree to pay for this
service within a week. He also agreed
to figure on a proposition of the company
conducting the plant which is to be
erected by the city and TO which the city
will deliver garbage.
The board decided to offer Conrad
Vreeland S125,0 900 for the land owned by
him In the Newark watershed. This
price Is based OF ninety-six acres and
about thirty buildings. yreeland, II was
said, has been holding out for $3.50. 600.

show an increase of $4,000, the figures
asked for this year being $3.50, 900, against
$685. 600 last year. This is a mandatory
increase and must go into the tax
budget, and amounts TO over three-quar-
tiers of a point raise in the tax rate.
Under the small Board of Freeholders
there will be fewer accounts than
in former years. For instance, the Speed
wa account, amounting to $1,000, has
been amalgamated with he repair to
county road account. And here, also, was
an increase shown in the amount asked
for over last year. Last year the com
mittee got S11O, 600 for repairs and $1,000
for Speedway in the tax levy. This year
Chairman Seymour Gilbert, of the COM
mittee. wants $155. 900 to work with. And
in addition to this a sum of $4,000 was
set aside es a special u to be known
as the emergency road fuud, not aNali.
able until February 10, 1873
This request of Gilbert's was heartily
seconded by Director Walter Evans, who
was the real instigator of it going into
the tentative budget. Evans was chair
man of the road committee last year. He
explained that properly to conserve the
county roads in the early spring it Is
to have money Immediately
available and that under the present sys-
TEN the road fun had been usually ex-
hausted before that time. He pointed to
heavy transforms of the early spring
this year as an example, and said that
for many days many county roads were
almost impossible owing to the fact that
the committee had no money with which
to do the necessary repair work..
He also pointed out that the oillng of
roads in the spring should
about March Is, and that 1t is necessary
to order the oil at least a mont il
advance of that time in order to have
it on hand when needed. The emer-
gency road fund seemed to meet the
approval of the committee and will
probably remain in the budget.
Another special appropriation tenta-
lively put i'll the budget was for extra
expenses TO provide for the new
district court in Montclair, over which
James =, Mylod, recently appointed by
Wilson, will preside. This item
Is also intended TO take care of the jul
venile court If one should be established
1t was pointed out to the committee that
the Montclair District Court would not
be self-sustaining at first, though there
would be some revenue accruing from 1t
and that therefore 1t was necessary to
provide for il in the budget.
The auditors office force today will
get busy on figuring up the debt ana
interest accounts and will be ready to
to the finance committee on next
Monday, when the budget as fixed yes
terday will again be gone over ana
made ready for presentation to the fun
board at the first meeting of the fiscal
which will be held OF "Wednesday.
The tentative figures as passed by the
committee yesterday and last years
