By careful Inspection of the assessment rolls of the several towns he discovered that large tract, embracing over 15,000 acres of land, had been omitted from the assess, ment roll of the town of Newcomb, In fact had never been placed on the roll of that town; by this omission the county has been deprived of many thousand dol- lars for its benefit. The following, copied from pages 14 and 18 of the Proceedings of ihe Board of Supervisors, for the year 1888, will fully explain: \Mr. Alden presented a petition from the assessors of the town of Newcomb, as follows: 'o the Hon. Board of Siqwntoors of the Ooimty of Bum: It having been shown to us, the under- signed, assessors of the town of Newcomb, that certain lots and tracts of lands Bying In said town have been omitted from the assessment roll for the present year, we therefore ask that the same be placed up- on the roll as per the accompanying state- ment from our county treasurer, and from the comptroller, to our supervisor, at about the same valuation as the adjoining lands in Keene, viz. -. 60 oenta per acre.

Oliver, agent for the sale of the larden Hand Grenade Fire Extinguisher, gave an exhibition of the potency of his Hand Grenade, yesterday. He took an ild sugar hogshead and covered it inside rith tar and then with kerosene, and then set it on fire, in front of the William's Block. When in the fiercest blaze of the material he threw in a grenade which did not break on the instant and threw in a second so it should break. The flre was at ice extinguished. He then spread in more tar so as to cover the inside and more kerosene also. When fully ablaze he threw in a grenade with such force as to break the glass. It extinguished the flre instantaneously. We believe the experi- ment very satisfactory, and should think it well for every house-holder or store- keeper, or, indeed, every man owning a ling liable to get on flre, to keep a dozen continually on hand.

We believe that in following the dictates of a conscientious conviction no Republlci nfeits in any degree his standing in the party to which he has been, and still is, attached, but simply maintains the right to which the party has always been pledged, of \ free thought, free speech and free men/' In conclusion, while we are well aware that this declaration will expose UB to the criticism and, quite probably, the vitupera- tion (of which we have already received a full measure) of blind zealotsandinterested adherents of the party we look, on the other hand, with some confidence for kind treatment and candid consideration from the old and long-tried friends from whom, on this issue, we reluctantly separate. We part in grief, and not in anger. We readi- ly concede to those friends, made such on many a hard-fought field for the party we served and the Union we saved, the same liberty of choice and honesty of purpose that we claim for ourselves.

STALWARTS BOLT BLAINE. UNANSWERABLE OBJECTIONS. UTIOA, N. Y., Oct. 28.—The Press will publish, to-morrow, the following address, signed by a committee of 150 Independent Republicans, comprising Lewis Lawrence, Judge Wm. J. Bacon, Dr. Win. H. Wat- son, Hon. C. J. Everett, John E. Brandi- gee, Col. F. A. Eastman, Hon. Benjamin Alton, H. D. Pixlev and other prominent citizens of Utica. The committee is com- posed of representative men from the social, professional, commercial and labor- ing classes of Utica. It is estimated that they represent only about one-fourth of mber of Republicans in the city who are opposed to Mr. Blaine, and will vote for some other candidate; four-fifths of them, it is safe to say, will vote for Cleve- land. THE ADDRESS. '0 Republicans : The undersigned Republicans of Oneida county, not presenting themselves in the attitude of dictating to their fellow citi- sens, desire to place before them in a brief form what, to their minds, constitute un- answerable objections to Mr. Blaine as a mdidate for the presidency. Without at- tempting to elaborate an argument, they simply present these conclusions: First. His prostitution of his official position in his most influential station, as speaker of the house of representatives, to his own private gain and emolument Of this he is convicted beyond cavil, out of his own mouth. No candid man, as we think, who will read the \Mulligan letters can reach any other conclusion. Second. The falsehood, evasion and-ut- ter insufficiency of his attempted explana- tion hi his speech ia the house, when, as he affirms, he took into his confidence forty-four million people, only to betray id deceive them. Third. The lack of all statesmanship in his long congressional career, which has failed to Identify hie name with any single affirmative act of well defined or conspicu- ous public importance, and In its negative character has contributed to. the delay of any measure of wise legislation. Fourth. The attempt by dictating to his correspondents the writing of a letter ostensibly containing statements which he and his correspondents knew to be glaring- ly false, presents a case containing all the elements of, if It be not fairly charged as, subornation of perjury. Fifth. As it is a distinguished mark of cleanness of hands, that a public man re- tires from office no richer than he enters it, so, on the other hand, it is a serious imputation that one thus situated, with no private fortune previously accumulated, and no lucrative profession to supplement bis legitimate wages, should be ranked among the millionaires, who, like the 'Lillies, toil not, neither do they spin,\ and yet receive the rewards that can only fairly be won by honest effort and legiti- mate gain. ' Sixth. 1 While in the home field no credit, but as we think, great dishonor has at- tended the efforts of Mr. Blaine, In the field of diplomacy he has exhibited both ignorance and incompetency, coupled with a reckless audacity that might well, only for a timely arrest, have exposed the nation to results destructive of the peace and harmony of the civilized world. j Seventh. Reversing the second rule that the office should seek the man, not the man the office, this aspirant for the presi- dency has thrice thrust! himself fcrfore the people, was twice rejected as a candidate, and only nominated by the increasing clamor and Interested partisanship of class who largely support him, contact WATER AT A PREMIUM. Difficultly ofObtalnlnc a Urlnk of Water, or a Hot Bath In Europe. The moat expensive thing and the hardest thing to get in Europe is plain water. At the hotels, even in Switzerland, where Che ioe- i Alps are in Bight, they oharge you for ioe water to drink. There is no water the cars, and at the stations they look at u in amazement if yon ask for it. To t>roteot inyself I now oarry a bottle of water strapped to my carpet bag. Ouedayin the Bon Marche, in Park, where they employ at least 200 clerks, my wife, who was making purchases, asked the clerk to be kind enough to give her a glass »f water. \ A what 1\ he exclaimed, in utter ent. '' A glass of water—plain, wet water,\ repeated my wife. \ There isn't such a thing in the store,\ iplied the olerk. \ Bat in this great store, what do you do when von get thirsty ?\ asked my wife. \ Why, we wait till noon or night and rink a bottle of wine.\ But if it is hard to get a glass of water in Vance, Switzerland or Germany to drink, how muoh harder is it to get enough for a bath. — -- - in all i boasted art centre of Europe, my wife nted a hot bath. In America, when a est wants a hot bath, he rings for the chambermaid, turns on the hot water, takes and finds twenty-five cents charged for it in his bill. Well, I went down to the offioe and saw the olerk about i t He seemed half dazed at the idea of a bath and went off to see the proprietor. The proprietor oame lufSng back to the office and asked me what wanted. \ My wife wants a bath,\ I said. \ All over—bath all over ?\ he gasped. \ Yes; all over, in hot water.\ \ Hot water—hot water all over—mein Gott in Hlmmel!\ h . exclaimed, throwing up his hand*. \ Yes, a hot water bath,\ I said, \ tell the girl to turn on the hot and cold water.\ \ Bat there isn't any hot water,\ said th« landlord; \ we'll have to send a oommis* sioner to the bathhouse on Frederick Btrasse uid have it brought here.\ \ What I\ I said, in surprise, \ send for a bathtub and hot water—send out for it ?\ \ Yes,\ he said, handing the Commis- sioner a note, \ it will be brought here in i hour.\ I went up to the room and awaited re- sults. The hotel was in an uproar. It was great event to take a bath in Dresden, and I've experienced the same trouble and sur- prise in Berlin and Cologne. After waiting an hour, there was a great clatter and noise in the hall. Pretty soon a man and his wife came to the door. They were carrying something .that looked like a coffin. II proved to be a long, blaok, rusty bathtub They placed it in the middle of the room Then they went down two pairs of stairs tc a wagon standing in front of the hotel, and commenced bringing up hot water in large tinbuoketa. This water had been heated at the bathhouse, a half-mile away. They had the bathtub full, and my wife took her bath. Then the thing wt»s carried down stairs to the wagon again. When I paid my bill I was oharged thre* marks (seventy-five cento) for the bath and thirty cents for the commissioner. You cat never get a bath in Europe for less than sixty oenta.

I sent policemen in citizens' olothing, and the young loafers nosed them oat and were as quiet as kittens. Not twenty-four hours after ihe men had been recalled, the gang got together and made the life of that west side citizen a bur- den to him. The other day a drug store right here on the Bowery wanted help to drive away a gang of oorner loafers who stood in front of Ms soda fountain and said et' to the pretty girls who went past. They wouldn't do anything while a police- man was near. I sent men in citizens' clothes, who sat in the drag store and over- heard what the young loafers said. After five or six of them had been arrested, the gang WM broken up. But that kind of a gang does not compare with the gang along rivers. ' They ought to be dealt with, if they are to be broken up, as we used to handle them n old times. I remember the old 'Honey- Gang ' in the Eighteenth precinct in 1853, when I was first appointed the Oap- The precinct was from Fourteenth to Forty-second street and from Sixth ave- nue to the East Eiver. We had a big terri- tory and few men to oover it. This Honey, man Gang waf named after the ring-leader. They, would walk into a oorner grocery in broad daylight and oarry off whatever they ooald lay hands on. We used heroic treat- ment When two 01 three or more of that ganpr were seen together on a street oorner we would walk right up, and if they didn't get oat without being told we jast dabbed their head* right off. The result WM, io four months the precinct WM M quiet at Madison square. When Matsell was Super- intendent of Police a big fellow slouohed into headquarters with two ugly gashes hi his head. He had been olubbed without oause, he said. Now, Matsell was a great advooate of club drill, and he admired the diagonal and right and left strokes and the guards and all that. He looked at the cuts. They made the form of a letter Xon the fel- low's forehead. He looked the man over and said;: ' Now, I'm glad you oame. That' M fine a speoimon of scientific clubbing as I ever ssV- My dear sir, you are to be oon- gratulateuV That's all the satisfaction th« toughs gjot, but our dubbing WM not hi ac- cordance with the letter of the law.— InUr- Wailing. STRIKING FOR A HUNDRED PASSES.
