Waite, the picture frame manufacturer and^’dealer iA toys and household goods at 273 Main street, has made a general assignment for the bene fit of his creditors. The assignee is Walter C. Hull, the lawyer, of 5 Market street. The preferred creditors, after em ployes’ wages are paid, are: Cornelia E. Frear, $100; Mrs. Kate Voce, $85; Annie M. Platt, $100; Herman P. Kuehn, $200; George Van Wyck, $150, and Joseph Morachauser, $75. All of the indeb ed' ness is for money borrowed. Annexed to the assignment are two schedules of Mr. Waite’s property, as follows: “Schedule A—None, No real estate/’ “Schedule B—Stock in store No. 273 Main street, Pokeepsie; worth about '$3,000.” The failure of Mr. Waite is ascribed to bad business and the hard times. His store is closed at present but he hopes to be able to make a settlement with his cr^itors and continue the business. WE’EE BADLY OFF FOE ALDEEMEN “Not Five Competent Men in the Common Connell,” ’Tig Said. “In Pokeepsie there are not five competent men in the common council. This somewhat startling statement was made by Lawyer Robert F. Wilkin son, if he is correctly reported by the New York papers, at a dinner given by the City club in New York last night to the members of the state commission on legislation affecting cities of the second and third class. v Mr. Wilkinson is a member of the commission and he 'vi as the first speaker of the evening. He said that the re fusal of weii-to-do men to accept po sitions of public ;trust was the cause of the disgraceful condition of the common councils of the second and third classes. He called it a lack of civic pride. He advocated a form ; of municipal government in which the common coun cil should be limited to legislation and should not have power to’.make appoint ments or deals. The city departments should be governed by a board of experts appointed by:,the mayor. CHARLES F. COSSDM HONORED. Elected a Delegate to the National Assembly ot the L. A. W. At the annual meeting of the New York state division of the League of American wheelmen held at the Grand Union hotel. New York, last nighti Charles Cossum of this city was elected a delegate to the national assem bly. ^ The most important matter under con sideration at the meeting was the sug gestion of Chief Conspl Potter that the New York state division recommend to the national assembly that the L. A, W. relinquish its jurisdiction and control over cycle racing. Resolutions in ac cordance with that spirit were adopted. The general opinion seems to be that the control of public racing is not an object in which the great majority of American cyclists have a common in terest and that, therefore, the energies of the L. A. W. be put to batter objects to best serve'the members of the organi zation. Fonglit on Mr. Bodiaez’s Flautation. According to today’s despatches from the Cuban war, a desperate battle was fought on Sunday between the insurgent forces and ,the Spanish troups on the plantation owned by\ J. M. Godine^ of this city. The plantation is lo4ated seventy miles from Havana and consists of 8,000 acres of^ sugar cane. It is a very valuable property, and Mr. Godinez fears that the damage resulting from the battle wiil be great, as the insurgents have been burning buildings and destroy ing crops everywhere. Mr. Godinez’s mother and sister reside in Havana. Gapt. Thomson’s Funeral. The funeral of Capt. A. A. Thomson, father of Chief Engineer Thomson, was held from his son’s residence No. 17 North Water street, at 10:30 o’clock this morning. Rev.

How Tommy Starr Was Carried to Pokeepsie. , The New York Herald of today con tains the following humorous reference to a New \^ork hoodlum who was ar rested in this city for car riding: “Tommy” Starr gat by his father’s gro cery store at No. 224 West Sixty-first street last evening-industriously whit tling. His fond mother arranged tho soap and the coffee and occasionally- patted the young hopeful on the back, “ He’s a good bye,” she said to me when I asked her about Tommy’s little journey to Pokeepsie. “I’m so glad that yez take that interest in him to CO me up here m rain to ask if he is well. “He and George Mulcahey got into a freight car on the New York Cintral the Sunday to go up to 138ih street to gather nuts, and he having, too, all the nuts right in this store that he wanted. And the train stopped never a bit until it got to Pokeepsie, not even for water I Scooped the water up as it wint along, bad cess to it. And what did ye do, ‘Tommy’?” “Played the harmonica we had with us,” said ThomasT^ “ And thin they got to Pokeepsie and they looked that ragged and dirfcby, though being respectable, and the police entertained ’em just elegint. If they had been the chief’s own children he couldn’c have been nicer. “Tommy” sint a telegram, and we sint his fare,and now he’s home, and it’s glad we are to have him again.” And Mrs. Starr gave “Tommy” a five cent pie.
