G oshen , Dec. 7. -The Board met at 11 o’clock, all present except Me. Lozier. The Law Committee, consisting of Messrs. Ketoham, Webb and Douglas, re ported on Coroner Miller’s bills, the Quail Act, and unpaid school tax returns, all of which reports were received. In relation to the bill of Coroner Miller the committee found the charges for clerk hire were not prohibited by law, which says he shall be re-imbursed for expenses, “ actually and necessarily” incurred; however * *actually and necessarily” should not be construed too liberally. As to mileage charged for adjourning, the Coroner is entitled to every mile actually and necessarily traveled in attending an inquest, adjournments included. The emnmittee suggested that Coroners should pay the items of clerk hire and other ex penses, and present a sworn itemized bill wiih voucher to the Board of Supervis- The committee found the Act for the protection and preservation of quails in Orange county, to be in confirmity with the law. On unpaid tax returns, the committee reported districts Sand S of Goshen and 6 of Cornwall correct and proper to be as sessed ; as incorrect districts 1 of Chester (tax since return paid) 6 of Montgomery, and 2 of New Windsor. For guidance in making returns they suggest publish ing the law, which reads : “ The collec tor shall make affidavit to the correctness of the return, and that the Trustees shall examine the same, and certify as to its correctness.” The Finance Committee, Messrs Webb, Harding-and Douglas, reported having examined the books and accounts of Jas. Williams, County Treasurer, tind found them correct. The balance in Poor Fund Nov. 33, was $11,463 13 ; General Fund, $6,869.68 ; Military Fund, $122.12. The committee cancelled all paid drafts and vouchers, burned $80 certificates of in debtedness issued iu building County Clerk’s office, which were retired by is suing new certificates of $30,000, from Peb. 1, 1888, interest 3 | per cent, paya ble $5,000 each year until paid. This represents total bonded indebtedness of Orange county. The estimates of amounts necessary to be raised by tax a re: General Fond $75,000, Poor Fund $40,000, there being $11,468.12 in the Treasury; State $115,435.45. Report received. On motion of Mr. McEissock, a resolu tion was adopted, fixing the time of hold ing the next annual meeting of the Super visors for Wednesday, Nov. 13,1889, at 3 o’clock p. m. Mr. R. S. Tuthill offered a resolution which was adopted, that $499 05, paid by the Superintendents of the Poor to the Middletown Asylum for support of £ugene Hulse, an insane criminal, be transferred from the General Fund and be placed to the credit of the Poor Fund, said amount having been by error in cluded in the said Asylum charges against the Poor Fund. Mr. Wood moved that when this Board adjourn it be till Monday next, at 13 o’clock. Mr. Douglas asked that a longer ad journment be had, as it would be impossi ble for him to extend his large tax roll. After some discussion and further amendments, Mr. Graham moved to amend making the time of adjournment until Wednesday next at 11 o’clock, which was carred by 12 ayes and 8 no;s. On motion o f Mr. R. S. Tuthill the fol lowing* was adopted : Resolved, That Wednesday, Dec. 13, at 2 o’clock p. m., be fixed as a time for selecting newspapers to publish the Sessien Laws of 1889, the Supreme and election notices for 1889. By resolution of Mr. MoKissock the chair appointed the following committees to take an inventory of county property in possession of the Sheriff and TJndei Sheriff on Dec. 31, 1888, and file same with the Cierk of this Board : The com mittee for Goshen, Messrs. Murray and Kxdgbt, and Newburgh, Messrs. McKie- sock and Brown. Mr. Goodsell called up the Act, intro duced for changing the boundary line of the town of Monroe, which was referred, with the petition, to the Law Commit- to visit the institution uuder their charge, when convenient, and on motion of Mr. Rosencrance the invitation was accepted, the time to be fixed hereafter. On motion of Mr. Roberson a resolution was adopted, confirming the tax rolls of the several towns and wards,aud ordering warrants to be issued to the collectors for the collection of the taxes levied. The Act for the protection and preser vation of quails was called, and Mr. WOULD HILL DARE DO IT I A REBOKT THAT H E HAS ISSUED C ERTIFICA TE TO BACON. A T e legram Fubllshed in th e E v ening P o s t Gives R ise to th e R u m o r —I t is. How ever, D iscredited — D ispatch to R e p resentative C u m m ings. There was published Friday afternoon ing Post” a telegram from Washington, stating that an official of the House had received telegrams announcing that Gov ernor Hill had issued a certificate of elec tion to Congressman Bacon, the present representative in Congress from this Dis trict, who ran against Moses D, Stivers, the successful Republican candidate. On the face of it this looks like a part of the plot of the democrats to steal the lower house. It is a movement in that direc tion iu a part of the country where that sort of thing is not really looked for. It was generally discredited, however, and as pliant a tool as Governor Hill is when the ends of party politics are at stake, it was not thought that he had the audacity openly to ta^e a hand in this scheme. General Knapp, the chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee, had not seen the telegram when spoken to about the matter Friday night. He said in regard toil, though, that he would not be at all surprised if Governor Hill had issued the certificate, although Mr. Stivers’ election had been conceded. Even Mr. Bacon had written a letter congratu- lating Mr. Stivers on his victory. Ex- Senaior Thomas 0 . Plait looked at it as something o f a joke. He did not believe that Governor Hill would dare do such a thing. He thought that it was one of oing Post’s ” stories upon which not the slightest dependence could be placed. The returns showed that Mr. Stivers was elected by 74 votes. The following dispatch to Representa tive Cummings, printed in to-diy’s Sun, however, seems to put such action on the pait oil Gov. Hill out of the question; Vote of Fifteenth district canvassed by ate Board and certificate prepared for ivers. Republican. G..tom moved to amend by striking oui ! ^ porated societies. Mr. Knight opposed the amendment, because the Tuxedo Park Association im ported birds, their charter granting them special privil^es, with which we could not interfere with. Mr, Rosenerance said Mr. Knight was right, this Board could not interfere. The Act was detective; because it made the penalty $20 for an offense, but provided no punishment for persons unable to pay their fine. Mr. Adams gave a humorous descrip tion of the operations of a former game law, passed by the Board, which was so warmly received by the constituents of the Supervisors that it was deemed prudent to repeal it. He also gave a learned treatise on game and gamesters, guns and gunning, and wisely observed that in drafting a biil like the present one, the utmost care should be taken to make it perfect, so as to “ steer clear of the breakers.” Mr. Murray moved to amend by strik ing from the Act the words, “ to have in his or her possession.’’ Mr. Giaham favored the protection of game birds, but was opposed to any dis crimination in favor of any class. Mr, Rosenerance moved to amend by re- commUingtbeact to the Law Committee for revision. Mr. R. S. Tuthill expressed surprise that suck gamey men should l^now BO little about the game laws, Mr. Wade acknowledged that while he had voted for game laws his knowledge of game was sadly neglected. He didn't know a robin from a crow, but since the last election he had “ eaten a great deal of crow.” The chair thought it about time to put the question and Mr. Rosen- crance’s motion was carried. Mr. Murray said that at last year’s ses sion of the Board of Supervisors the mat ter of heating the building of the fire com pany was acted on and the privilege was partly granted to extend the steam pipes from t!u* Jail to Cataract Hose. That privilege has lapsed through the failure of the President of the village to complete the arrangements with the Committee on Public Bui'dings. 1 understand, con tinued Mr. Murray, that the President has handed in a contract to be signed and I would move that this matter be now taken Mr. Rosencrance requested Mr. Murray to put the question over until the next meeting, as it was noon and the members were anxious to get home, in which re quest he acquiesced. Tne Board then adjourned until Wed nesday Dec. 12 at 11 o’clock. GIBSON AND RYAN'S COMPANY.

Deyo, who was hit by a railroad engine on Monday morn ng at Delhi, died on Wednesday evening, never having re covered consciousness. He was 66 years of age, Mr. Dillon of the Orange County Farmer arrived on Tuesday morning to see how Mr. Deyo was getting along, and on Tuesday afternoon Dr. A. Deyo of Gardiner, Ulster county, a brother o f the injured man, arrived. The Deyo family is one of the oldest in Ulster county and is highly respected. The deceased had been a very successful canvasser of the Farmer, and was a man of excellent habitsi, kind and genial, and had a large acquaintance, especially among the farm ers, who were always glad to meet him.

Suxfireations o f a Correspondent on M a t ters of Local In tere s t. Where can a town the size of Port Jer vis be found, with so many bright, intel ligent looking young ladies ? I was in duced to pay a visit to the “festival of the days ” last Thursday evening, and confess to having been charmed with the many pretty faces there. How could one help investing their last penny, when the sweets, soapsuds, fancy articles and even hymn books, to say nothing of the beauti ful spread in the Saturday department, were so bewitchingly offered. Another noticeable feature of this unique entertainment was the hearty hand shake and “ how do you do” on every side, and, by the wav, why cannot we have these church gatherings oftener ? There’s nothing like them, for getting ns better acquainted. These rooms are too nicely arranged for such gatherings. They are beautifully lighted and dantily fres coed (real Frenchy, you know), with a floor covering too pretty almost to use, the whole giving such a home like effect. Church parlors is a correct name for I understand that the Presbvterians held a fair and festival recently, throwing open to the public their new chapel. Though unfinished, it was pronounced by all a handsome structure. We believe they expect to have it completed and hold opening exercises therein next Friday, the 14th inst,, when all can avail them selves of hearing the voices of the present and some of the former pastors of that church. Winter opens with sunny skies and bracing air, something we have known little of for the past month or two. We are only two weeks from Christmas, as any one would know from the window displays iu our down town stores. We find there is no use of going to the city for our holiday purchases, as our enterpris ing merchants keep well abreast of the wants of the people. A PERTINENT QUESTION. Why are the Provisions for a Sinlcing F o n d If^nored. To the Editor of the U nion : I find this in Friday’s Argus : The total amount of Wallkill’s taxes this year is $34,411.30, :he rate being $8 60 on each $1,000, or $6 less than last year ; the rate then being $17.60. And the following in your issue of Fri day evening: The total amount of Deer- park’s taxes this year is $37,689.24, the late being $19.08 on each $1,000, or 42 cents less than last year, it then being $19.50. To a casual observer this may not mean much but to me it speaks volumes. Just think of it, taxpayers, the rate in Middle- town $8.60 on a thousand, while in Port Jervis the rate is $19 50. I know that some of your readers will say that Wall- kill has paid her bonds and thus reduced her rate. That is just the point, why has Deerpark made no provision for her bonds? We will have paid $430,000 in terest on our bonded indebtedness of $200,000 at the expiration of SO years and still owe the principal. I understand that the law that author ized the ijsne of tliese bonds created a sinking fund and that the requirements of the law as regards the sinking fund have not been fulfilled. The commissioners have been direlict iu their duties, and as they seem unable to perform them, would it not be wise for our Supervisor to take told of it and see what he can do ?

There is no part of it where his followers are not found. But the great organizer’s singing brother, Charles, has the world for his parish in even a larger sense of the words. His hymns are sung not only in all lands and languages but by Christians of every name. Denominational lines are nothing to Charles Wesley’s influence to-day. The centennial of his completed life work is to be celebrated to-morrow throughout Christendom. In our own village there will be special reference to the occasion in the services at the Reformed church where the introduction of the New Deer- park Hymnal will add interest to the day.

This morning at 9 o’clock “ Al ” Bruner and Peter Markley, who were arrested on Thursday night, on suspicion of being implicated in the safe burglary at Pond Eidy, were brought before Justice Cox for examination. L. E, Carr was present on behalf of the people and H. B. Fuller ton and Wilton Bennet represented Mark- ley. Bruner was not represented by counsel. The principal witnesses on behalf of the prosecution were George Rhodes of Pond Eddy and John Berkhardt of Matamoras, who were arrested yesterday and whose confession appears to be the evidence up on which the company relies for the con viction of Bruner. They were put upon the witness stand and sworn. Their testimony readers probable the guilt of Bruner, but so tar nothing has yet been elicited that seems in the remotest way to connect Maxkiey with the crime, except the single circumstance of his having on his person at the time of his' arrest a considerable sum of money, $47 in bank bills of small denomination. The story told by Berkhardt on the wit ness stand is substantially as follows : the day preceding the evening of the crime, Bruner came down to Port Jervis to purchase a oask of whiskey tor Mark- ley, who keeps a small hotel in Pond Eddy. While iu town he^met.Berkhardt and persuaded him to gu back to Fond Eddy with him. They returned together on the Moun tain Express, got off at Pond Eddy, and while on their way across the river to the New York sid^ they met Rhodes whom Bruner persuaded to return with them. Together the three proceeded to Mark- ley’s hotel with the cask of whiskey. Not finding him at home, they left the whiskey at the hotel and walked away along the towpatb, in the direction of the bridge. It was at this point that Bruner proposed to his companions the plan of robbing the safe at tbe Erie depot, and as Berkhardt declares the first intimation he had of Btuner’s intention. They agreed to as sist him. An iron bar was procured from the Erie tool house and with this mstru- ment, they rorced open the office door. At this point Rhodes became fright ened and went away leaving Bruner and Berkhardt to complete the work alone. Berkhardt a^.sisted his com panion in dragging the iron safe oat upon the platform and was then put upon the watch to guard Bruner while he proceeded to blow the safe aud strip it of its con- touts. This he did and was rewarded by a cash find of $195 in small bank bills. Having accomplished his purpose Brunet returned to Markly’s hotel in Fond Eddy, leaving Berkhardt to shift for himself. Berkhardt walked back to Port Jervis on the track. Rhode’s story corroborates that of Berkhardt and they both say that they received none of the money. Bruner was reticent and declined to make any statement and his examination ter minated in his commitment to the Goshen jail to await a requisition of the Pennsyl vania authorities. Maikley’s examination is now in pro gress with closed doors. Prom the testimony already elicited it would appear that he had no direct connection with the crime and the general opinion among those who were present and heard the evidencee that he is entirely in nocent. It is quite curtain the he can and will account for his whereabouts OQ the evening of the burglary in a way that excludes the supposition of his being in any way connected therewith. -Celery glasses 14, two for 25 cents at Hoagland’s great crockery attic.—adv.

The Omaba Daily Herald publishes a long account of a trial which was held in Fremont, Neb., Nov. 27fch. The case on trial was a habeas corpus suit brought by J. M. Maybee, formeily a resident of Sul livan and Orange counties, and at the time ot his marriage a resident of Llbtrty, Sul livan county, for.the possession of his ten- year-old daughter who was in the custody of her step-mother, lawyer Maybee’s second wife, bat with whom he had not been living since last June. Mrs. Maybee stated in her evidence that She was running a dress-making shop in Fremont, and that while Maybee had agreed to pay her $3 . week lor ihe sup port o f the child he had only paid her $4 during the four months of their separation, and fmtner said that Maybee is worthless both financially and morally and has no home tor eitner himselx or me child. The Child, Who is a bngbt little girj, was placed on the stand and said, as rears ran ao wn her Cheeks, she would much rather stay witn her “ mama.” Mr. Maybee testified in his own behalf, and claimed he was then located at Gouncii Bluffs, and in a position to properly care for. his child if allowed to do so. The court de cided ifittC tne custody of the child should remain with its latntr. The shtrifl refused to force the child from Mrs. Mayoee, bat when the lather did SO he took Mis. Maybee irom the room, and the sight of the iraatic cmld. Maybee took the girl to a room at the Euiopean hoiel, locked her in to sieep and, alter an absence o f a couple or hours re turned to find her gone and the room vacant. Several “ near sighted” people who have been assisting Lawyer Mt-yoee to find his child have failed in the effort, and mrther proceedmgs were brought to a stand still the next morning by the re ceipt of a telegram from me sheriff of Camming county to arrest Lawyei May- bee and hoia him until his arrival. The charge preterred agaihst him is not known. The child in question arrived at Living- dion Manor the omer day, and is now at the resiatnee of Eli Starr, the father of Mrs. Maybee. Maybee originally practiced law in Sul livan county and subsequently came to Orange county and practiced here. Years ago, when a student of law at Monticello, he was considered one of me most piom- ising young men iu Sullivan county, but dissipated habits unfortunately marred what otherwise would have been a brii- liaat career.
