ince .July of last year the government as been defrauded monthly of more han 512,000 on stamped paper alone, .he culprit or culprits are believed to a re received $28,000 and to have ac- ounted for only $10,000.

Councllmen Forbidden by Law to Appro­priate Money to the Veterans for

Memorial Day —the Cookman ’ Avenue Grade Discussed.

City Solicitor John F. Hawkins Monday night sprung a sensation on the city legis­lators ln Common Council. It waa a moat nnlooked for incident and one that all present could appreciate.

Assemblyman Samuel W. KlrUbrlde, lot a most casual way, had moved that the usual appropriation be1 made' for the Grand Army of the Republic for its Memorial day exercises. There was a* little whispering between 3 eorg£ W. Treat and Mr. Hawkins, aad Treat arose to say it would be well to-hear froia th$ attorney before voting on the question*

“You have no power to make such an appropriation,” said Mr. Hawkins.

“Every member voting to ' do -this, whether he knows the law or.cioes not, ia Indictable. That is giving,' money, to charity. You cannot give the jieaple’s money away; tae law says you must spend the people’s money for she people.”

Blank astonishmeBi =?as clearly ex­pressed in every'face in the chamber,

ABke$ Mr, Kitkbride: “Does that mean that we cannot spend money for .hospi­tals?"

"You can if.,yejir chartfer says so s' if not, you cannot." Mr. Hawkins then cited instances in which governing bodies of municipalities in the state had been indicted by grand juries for appropriating public moneys when they had not the authority to do so. >

The solicitor’s opinion wen1 and the money for the G. A. ft. was aot appro priated.

Frank L. Tuttle desired to know whether it Is customary to appropriate a sum of money ter the celebration of the Fourth of Ju ly. He was informed that it is not.' Mr, Tuttle was appointed a -committee of one to confer with tho trolley company in order to ascertain whether it will cooperate with the city In reestablishing the grade in Cookman avenae betweeu Emory street' and Bangs avenue. This"action wag the result of a long discussion between Dr. J . A. W. Het­rick, Mr. Eirkbride, Mayor TenBroeck, Mr. Treat and Mr. Appleby. Dr. Hetrick claimed his property has been damaged. Mr. Klrkbrlde said that the* Council on whose shoulders tbe work of improving that section of Cookman avenue was laid was not responsible for the change, but tbe responsibility rested upon the prop­erty owners themselves, since it was their desire to have the change and when op­portunity was given to object no objec­tions were forthcoming. The mayor ob­jected o a change in the grade and believed-with Mr- Treat that If this is done in one instance it must eventually be done in many cases. Mr. Appleby and Mr. Tuttle believed If a wrong has been done the wrong shall he righted.

In executive session' Monday night Common Council appointed William H. Pancoast license inspector, thereby oust­ing Edward R. Tindall, who has held that , office for a number of years: and proven an efficient officer..

The action, took plaqe. behind locked doors after midnight and criticisms are freely being made on this method ol transacting ordinary business of the city.

The Six-Ton Safe for Ocean Grove’s^Naw Bank Breaks Through the Wagon N

Bridge at Elbpron.A six-ton safe, en route from New York

to the Ocean Grove National Batik, crashed through the wagon bridge over the railroad tracks at Elberon, last nigbt, at 10.30 o’clock. The safe waa on a truck drawn by four horses, and when on the down grade of the bridge, the momentum of the load waa so great that; the rickety structure caved ln, the truck wheels sink­ing through the planking and the safe toppling over.

George Schechtel, ln charge of the team, and a gang of men who- had come from the Hail Safe Company to handle the safe, thought the massive bulk of steel piust drop to the railroad tracks. Hls surprise was unbounded when he saw the safe sup- ported by cross beams and apparently good for a long stay in its position.

The^problepp now was so-get the safe on traSk'

ilves of the men, as, well .as precipitating' track and safe to the ground below. This wag successfully accomplished by means of a wihdlass and jacks, which were part of the truck’s mechanical devices. But it took nearly twelve hours to accomplish the task. In fact, it was 1 1 o’clock today when the start was again made from the place of the accident to Ocean Grove.

The men marvel that they and the horses escaped injury, and the truck and the safe, damage.

HAVAN/u, M ay 8.—The papers asking or the extradition of C. I*'. W . Neely, [hief .financial agent in tlie postofflce lere, who wub arraigned before United states CommiMHioner Shields in New fork on the charge of embezzlement ot fovernment funds, left for the United states yesterday afternoon. I t ie under­stood th a t the Fidelity Deposit company f M aryland is on his bond for $30,000. Thu announcement of the nrrest gave

lie first public intim ation th a t alleged rands had been discovered in .tlie postal epartm ent. Colonel Burton had been ivestigating for ton days, nnd ho found la tte rs in ouch a serious condition that e decided to make nn imm ediate .per- onnl report on the subject to the W ash- lgton authorities.i t is asserted on reliable authority th a t

ince Ju ly of last year the government [as been defrauded monthly of more ban $12,000 on stamped paper alone, 'h a culprit or culprits are. believed to ave received $28,000 and to have ae- ounted for oniy $10,000. D uring the is t four months it is said th a t Neely's hortagf in the aggregate hns not fallen elow $30,000 and th a t prior to the be- inning of this year the average was lucli higher.F or a long time Neely lived extravn-

antly, lunching and dining n t two of the lost expensive restauran ts in HaVana.' t is said th a t ou one occasion he pur- rnscd specially made underwear a t $30 suit. I t is not believed, however, that

e is alone responsible, the theory being a t unless others hnvc been acting in nspiracy w ith him be could not have ncealed his shortngc for so long a pe

od. A s yet there is not evidence enough justify o ther arrests,

j Auditors Reeves and Reynolds, have Liai tem porarily suspended. M ajor Rath- jone, director of posts, set.special ageuts ft work investigating the m atter when jrst it was called to his attention some reeks ago. These agents reported April B th a t tbe accounts were correct.[Much sym pathy is expressed for M ajor Jatliboce because of the excellent service as departm ent has rendered, there lieiugf. general feeling of regret. Jh q t such ft ioud should m ar hie record, altbougGi bany still hope th a t the whole m atter Sa y be straightened out.

A bad featu re of the case is Neely’s re- isal to re tu rn to Cuba without extradl-

People feel that, if Neely is inno- ;n t of the charge, lie has made a mis- ike in th is respect.W hen Colonel Burton first laid the a tte r before Governor General Wood

he la tte r asked him to take 24 hours pnger in order to make sure. I t was fter the second report th a t the request >r Neely’B arrest waB cabled to the sited S tates.

M em orial Day —T he Coofcman ’ A venue G ra d e D iscu sse d .

City Solicitor John F. H aw kins Monday night sprung a sensation on the city legis­lators in Common Council. I t was a most unlooked fo r incident and one that all present could appreciate.

Assemblyman Samuel W. K irkbrlde, ip a most casual way, bad moved that the usual appropriation be made' fo r tbe Grand Army of the R epublic for its Memorial day exercises. T here was a little whispering between George W. T reat and Mr. H awkins, and T reat arose to say it would be well to bear from the attorney before voting on the question^

“You have no power to m ake such an appropriation,” said M r. Hawkins.

"Every m em ber voting to do this, whether he klnows the law or does not, is Indictable. T hat 'is giving, m oney to charity. You cannot give the people’s money away; the law says you must spend the people’s money for the people.”

Blank astonishment was clearly ex­pressed In every fqce'lu the cham ber; <-•

Asked M r.K irk b rid e : “DoeBthat mean tbat we cannot spend money for hospi­tals?” .

“You qan If your charter says so; If not, you cannot.” Mr. H aw kins then cited ipatances in which governing bodies of m unicipalities In the state bad been Indicted by grand ju ries for appropriating public moneys when they bad not tbe authority to do bo.

Tha solicitor’s opinion wetr and the money for the G. A.. R. was not appro priated.

Frank L. T uttle / desired to know whether it is customary to appropriate a sum of money for the celebration of tbe Fourth of Ju ly . He whs inform ed that i t Is not.' Mr. T uttle was appointed a comm ittee of one to confer with the trolley company in order to ascertain w hether i t will cooperate wltb the city In reestablishing the grade In Cookman avenue between Em ory street and Bangs avenue. T bis action was the result of a long discussion between Dr. J . A. W. H et­rick, Mr. K lrkbrlde, Mayor TenBroeck, Mr. T reat and Mr. Appleby. Dr. H etrick claimed his property has been damaged. Mr. K lrkbrlde said tbat the Council on whose shoulders tbe work of Improving that section o f Cookman avenue was laid was not responsible for tbe change, but tbe responsibility rested upon the prop­erty owners themselves, since i t waa th e ir desire to have the change and when op­portunity was given to object no objec­tions were forthcom lag. T he mayor ob­jected to a change in the grade and believed with M r. T reat that If th is Is done In one InBtance it m ust eventually be done in m any cases. M r. Appleby and Mr. T u ttle believed If a wrong has been done tb e w rong shall be righted.

• A six-ton safe, en route from New York to the Ocean Grove --National Bank, crashed through the wagon bridge over the railroad tracks at Elberop, last night, at 10.30 o’clock. The safe was' on a truck drawn by four horses, and when on the down grade of the bridge, the momentum of the load was so great that tbe rickety structure caved in, the truck wheels sink­ing through the planking and the safe toppling over.

George Scbeshtel, in charge of the team, and a gang of men who had come from the H all Safe {Company to handle tbe safe, tbought the massive bulk of steel must drop to the railroad tracks. H is surprise was unbounded when he saw the safe sup ported by cross beams and apparently good for a long stay In Its position.

The problem now was to get the safe on the truck agafn wlttioul 'indangerlng ‘the lives of the men, as well as precipitating" track and safe to the ground below. This was successfully accomplished by means o f a windlass and jacks, which were part of the truck’s mecbaniual devices. But it took nearly twelve hours to accomplish the task. In fact, it was 11 o’clock today when the start was again made from the, place of the accident to Ocean Grove.

T h e men marvel that they aud the horses escaped in ju ry , and tbe truck and the safe, damage.

JAFEKISG GARRISON IN DIRE STRAITSBut Pctcrnilned to Hold Oat—Free

Staler* AnscmM«d North of Lady- brnnd — llc-vn(uroument)i Now

oil tbe Way'to Soatli Africa. ,

LONDON, Mdy 8.—Tlie Boers are ev­erywhere retiring bufoTC the- B ritish-ex­cept on the. N atal frontier and a t Mafe- kiug to the inner clrclts of tbeir defenses. They appear determined not to fight until the ICroonstadt bills are reached.

Lord Roberts Is expected to do another 40 or *50 miles and then to -wait foi* a time in order to briug-up supplies and to repair the railway. There are one or two hints iu the' dispatches from tbe front that he may rest for it few days a t Smal- dct-'l.

General French 's 10,000 cavalry have not been mentioned in the official or un­official dispatches for four days. I t is by no means likely tb a t he is idle, and the conjecture Is th a t he is either detouring toward ICroonstadt or raiding the Lady- brnnd district.

F ifteen thousahd B ritish are now op­erating on the western frontier of tho Free State. As the deadlock a t W ar- renton has been’ broken and the Boers are retreating there is nothing, formi­dable except distance between W arrenton and Mafeklng. The most hopeful ad­vices from M afeklng on April 22 were th a t tho garrison would be barely able to bold out for a month. A t th a t time

.the fever w as spreading.According to adviceB from M aseru,

Basutoland, several thousand F ree S ta t­ers are north of Ladybcand, where they have collected grent herds. The d istrict is rich in food for men and horses, and the Boers seem resolved not to move northward, but to be preparing t<j resist where they are. I f they are let alone, they will menace the line of communica­tions a fte r the main B ritish arm y has passed into the Transvaal.

Lord Boberts and Lord K itchener per­sonally directed the artillery in the Vet rive?, engagement.

Six thousand four hundred and fifty- eight troops are now a t sea on the way to South Africa. No others are under tfrdera to go except as recruits to fill op the losses of regiments a t the front.

Lndy Sarah W ilB on wires from Mafe- bing. nnder date of April 22, as follows:

“T he situation Is. unchanged. T he gar­rison is depressed a t there being no sign of relief, bu t is as determined as fever to deprive the Boers of o crowning trium ph on th e western border. ,

“ A ease of whisky realized $540 ot a raffle, and a pound of flour was sold a t auction fo r 2 guineas.”

A dispatch from Lobom bo,, dated T hursday, Mny 3, says the queen of Swaziland has ordered the Swazis to hasten their harvesting nnd assemble for weeping the dead king. A M alagana chief and nine, women and children have been filled a t the M alaganas’ kraal, and the plains are strewn with the skeletons of m urdered natives. Kreougb, the Boer ad- miniBtrator of Swaziland, has been recall­ed to P retoria .

T he Lourehco M arques correspondent o f The Tim es says:

"Com m andant Snyman is so alarmed a t tbe prospect of having his re treat cut off th a t he has appealed for permission to re tire northw ard from M afeking to intercept Colonel Pium er.” *

SM A L D E EL , May 8.—The movement th a t culminated in the capture of Win- burg-and Smalde^l was pa rt of a great general movement extending from' Gen­eral H un ter on the west to G eneral B un­dle on the east. Lord Boberts’ adm ira­ble stra tegy resulted in placing every­where five B ritish to one Boer. Out of w hat appeared the inextricable confusion of divisions and brigades order was quickly evolved, and tbe Boers were com­pelled to meet Lord Boberts under un­favorable ‘ conditions.

W hat is more im portant is th a t th t B ritish are now able to w ait. T heir front and strong positions a re safe in the knowledge .tha t their flanking- columns Will advance and outflank the Boers.

S aturday the Boers held a really strong position, from which earlier in the cam­paign they could only have been forced by hard fighting. ■ General H am ilton's arrival a t W inburg, although not direct­ly outflanking the Boers, made their po­sition extremely uncomfortable. General 'H utton’s movement ou th e left was even more successful than a t first imagined.

F orty Boers were killed. T he march Snoday was . short, but General Pole- C arew 's division marched 58 miles In four days. '

General Tucker’s division is marching on the left, and General M axwell's bri­gade was able to cross the river.

Lord Roberta has been very strict in bis exam ination of the farm s, with, the result of disclosing the fac t th a t nearly every house is a miniature arsenal, Mau­sers, M artin is and abundant ammunition being found. , I f these had not been dis­covered, the arm y would be leaving In its T e a r the m aterial in men a n d arm! fo r a dangerous movement among the inhabitants. • ; _ -

All along the railway the cqlvertsi wherever of any size, have been u tter­ly destroyed, but the engineers hope tc make n detour in some cases, and in oth­ers they will fill up the gap.

T hree of the four spans of the Vet riv er bridge have been utterly destroyed and it will be necessary to make a tem pornry line down the river bed, as al tbe Modder.

Reports have been heard showing thai nioro culverts and bridges are being de stroyed northward.

CHICA GO, Mny 8.—As the time ap­proaches for settling the question of how many bishops are to be elected by the Methodist general conference the senti­ment Is growing, among the delegates th a t none of the present occupnnts of tho high office should be retired and plac­ed on the superannuated list.

I t seeins probable th a t because of tbe advanced age of several lueniberp of tbe episcopacy the committee on episcopacy will recommend the olectlon of five addi­tional bishops. Three will he for work In this country and two to Supervise the missionary work-in A sia. Thi« is tho pro­gramme in favor with a majority o t the m erpbers'of the committee on episcopacy. The committee has Jiegan active work on the questions referred to it b y the confer­ence. Chairm an Buckley was authorized to appoint subcom m ittees'on tenure of office,^"missionary bishops, districting of bishops, episcopal residences and general reference. A Score of memorials were read and referred to the appropriate com-, m ittees w ithout discussion.

Tbere are. 20 or more avowed candi­dates for the high office of bishop not­w ithstanding the. fact th a t it is no t like­ly th a t taore than five additions to the present board of episcopacy will bo made.

The committee on tem perance' listened to the reading of several methorlals re­ferred to it by the general conference. One memorial condemned President Mc­Kinley’ for laxity in enforcing the anti- canteen law nnd waB generally discussed, •but no action taken. Another recom­mended amending the book of discipline so th a t inembers of the church who rent property for t saloon purposes may be brought to tria l. They /.were all referred to the subcommittee. ,

THE PEO PLE ’S PARTLY.ILorcc Attendance a t the National

Convention at Sloax Falls. -SIO U X -F A L L S , Mny 8.’—Tho dele­

gates to the People’s pa rty convention who have already arrived spent the time in informal, conferences and in visiting tiie tent In which the convention is to be held. I t was a t first intended to utilize the city’s Auditorium building for con­vention purposes, but the prospective a t ­tendance grew so rapidly th a t it was found necessary to secure larger quar­ters. Accordingly nn enormous ten t un­der which 8,000 or 10,000 people can be seated was secuij^d, aud it is rapidly be­ing pul in shape for the reception’of the large throng thnt~fa expected' to occupy^ it. The streets are liberally decorated w ith bunting, and on every hand there nre evidences of a purpose on the- pnrt ot the people^pf the city to make the con­vention a success and to make the visit­ors feel that they are welcome. The con­vention wili be called to order tomorrow a t 2 o’clock by National Chairm an B u t­ler. An address of welcome will be made by either Senator Pettigrew or Governoi Lee. A temporary chairman will then be named nnd after thjj appointmeut of com­mittees the convention will adjourn until Thursday. . *• .m

The principal talk has been about the policy to be pursued in the selection of a vice presidential candidate. By those al­ready present there is manifested quite a noticeable, friendship for Hon. Charles A. Towne, the Silver Republican leader ot Minnesota, bu t there nre some who con­tend th a t the honor should go to a Ponu list. Senator B utler is among those ijpno a re believed to favor~Mr.—Towne. In an interview he said:

“W e are going to be liberal w ith the other parties who are co-operating with us on general lines. In 1896 we took Bryan after he . had been nominated by the Democrats, and we stood loyally by him to the end of, the campaign. This year the People’s party is going to be the first party to pu t him in the. field, and so fa r as I have been able to discover there

i is very general disposition tow ard going even fu rth er if need be and selecting a candidate for the vice presidency who

' will be acceptable to all concerned.”

STEINBACH’S F(® GOODSThis is going to be a week of remarkable Spring Dress Goods selling at our two modern estab­

lishments. T h e s e a s o n for light-weight gowns is here, the stock is on hand, and the low prices we have fixed on the desirable goods will keep our clerks busy, we feel assured- ..

‘ Just think of anything desired or required for your wardrobe, then come to Steinbach’s with the assurance that nowhere else in this section can th,e quality or assortment of Spring Dress Goods be excelled, nor can any establishment hereabouts equal the Steinbach’s low prices.

S u m m e r C lo th in g S a t i s f a c t i o nSatisfaction is a g rea t th ing in' a suit of clothing—the

knowledge th a t your garments fit perfectly, have that • particular hang th a t only skilled cutters and expert -ma­kers can produce. T hen i t’s satisfaction, too, to know th a t th e material is modish, that the details of m aking are ju s t right—the inside as carefully constructed as the outside parts th a t show. ‘We guarantee satisfaction to patrons of our made-to-order clothing department. E x ­cellent suits made to measure for as low as $15 ; better garm ents for more money, but a perfect fit and perfect finish in every instance. L ight weight overcoats and fancy vests built to (order for ju s t a trifle more than the cost of the ready-to-don ones,

For those who do not care to pay the ex tra price for c lothing made to measure, we have a monster stock of the ready-made garments, the materials and m aking being perfect in every detail. Our ready-to-wear clothing is manufactured in Asbury Park, a guarantee against disease germs so prevalent in clothing made in sweat shops in the larger cities. T he $75,000 stock includes everything de­sirable and the pricing ranges from $4.98 to $ 1 9 per suit.

, S p e c i a l S a l e o f M a t t i n g sYou will not th ink of anything for the actual furnish­

ing o f the home tha t we cannot supply. T h is week, however, we dwell on our unsurpassed stock of China and Japanese mattings—ideal flqor coverings for summer time. A score or more of patterns to select from, bu t every roll ’ priced at about one-half value—thanks to ready cash in the hands of our slitfewd m atting buyer. W e will sell you one yqxd or one thousand yards, the price decreasing, of course, when you order one of more rolls a t a time.

None too early for medium ligh t underwear and hosiery., A once-in-a-lifetime chance to buy a large stock much below cost was presented recently. O ur-buyer quickly gobblecfup-the ejitire line and the goods—perfect as to m anufacture, styles and assortment—are now ready, for lively selling. Setter values, quality considered, were never offered in Asbury Park, so it will be your fault if the good things are purchased by others.
