appropriations of the several departments
of the city government, owing te the
large sum $27,527. drawn from the contin
gent fund te meet the expenses incurred In
the erection of the new market house, which
nearly exhausted that appropriation, and
deprived the several departmenta from the
only source te draw upon In case of short
age, or from any contingent expenses that
might be incurred.
Besides, under the municipal law by
which we are new governed, the fiscal year
begins and ends en June first Instead of
January flrat,aa required by the act of 1887.
Te properly conform with thla change the
appropriations made virtually January 1,
1889, must extend te June 1 of the present
year, thereby covering a period of seven
teen months. Te meet the emergency the
strictest economy has been enforced In all
the departments and se far all obligations
have been met with the exception of the
police and lighting departments.
In order te meet the present obligations
and the necessary disbursements of the
city until June 1, 1890, I would recom
mend that the finance committee be author
iced te make a special lean of 122,940, te be
appropriated te thd several departments as

THB FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The report of Chief Engineer Vondor Vendor Vonder
smlth, of tha lira department, waa pre
sented by Mr. Eberman. This la the
eighth report since the call system was
adopted and the fifth by Chief Yonder.,
smith.
The report covera from Jauuary 1, 18M,
te March 1, 1890. It ahewa that iu that
period there have been 43 first alarms and
2 second alarms. The less in that Urns was
$113,617.60. The total iusu ranee en property
waa $288,915.75 and Insurance ever toss
$125,998.23. The Insurance paid waa'
110,017.54. The less for January and
February of thla year was ,$4,150.75, and
total Insurance $17,600. During the period
covered by tha report David Beard 'waa
hart by falling from a ladder and Chief
Venderainlth cut one feet badly.
The apparatus of the fire department
consists or four engines In geed con
dltlen and a Hayes truck. There are 6,060
feet or three ply hose, each company
having 1,600 feet. There are fourteen
horses in the department and all are In the
best of condition. Thirty-eight men are.
employed, but only the driven perma
nently. The total value of tha department,
Including the houses, apparatus, stock, Ac.,
Is $56,418.75. During the year tha expense
of keeping the fire alarm In repair waa
$376.28.
The chief makes several recommenda
tions In his report. He thinks that mere
alarm boxes should be put up, and thinks
that raoney cannot be mere Judiciously ex
pended than by having a sufficient numlier
of boxes, se that the fireman will have all
the aid possible in making geed time ter
tires, lie recommends mera ana larger
water mains, as in some parts or the city
considerable difficulty haa been caused
by! a lack of water at times. He
thinks that for tha centra or the
city the new Eddy plug should ba used In
stead or the old kind, as they are a great
Improvement. The chief also recommends
the purchase of at least one additional en-
Sine which is te be kept In reserve At
mes It becomes neceasary for all four, of
the engines te be at one fire. In case
another should break out at the tlme thore
would be no engine te respond.
The cblefalse suggests that the salaries of
the firemen be Increased, especially these
efthe drivers who are the only men that
are obliged te remain at the engine houses
at all times. They new receive $10 per
month, which should be Increased te $50,
and the driven then be obliged te uniform
themselves. The chief complains that be
still has trouble from the overhead wires,
and la obliged te trim up trees much closer
than he likes. The chief thinks that a
strict inquiry should be made as te the
cause of each and every fire and every
fact be brought te light in relation te them
should' be thoroughly ventilated and if
any blame exists it should be attached te the
proper person and proceedings should be
instituted te prevent a'rocurrence of the
same.

drunk, whenever aa opportunity offers.
They have a little daughter Katie
who la but six yean old and has
been tramping around tha eeuhtry all
of that time with her parents. Sometime
age tha pair wan found la an old shed east
of Witmera Bridge, very drunk, and Al
derman Been committed them te prison.
They wen released but a few days age.
'aad they apant Tuesday" and part of yes-
iterday In the city, begging money te get
whisky. Last evening Michael Burns,
of the National house, waa driving
along the Philadelphia turnpike, and
Whan about six miles east of town
ha came across Wallaee and his
Wife both lying along tha alda of the read
very drunk. Tha child was betweeu her
parents and crying bitterly. Mr. Burns
took the child In his buggy, and thinking
aha might freeze, brought her te town. Tha
parents in a stupidly drunken way tried te
keep tha child, but Mr. Burns retained her.
Ha took her te the station house when she
waa recognized. She was kept then evor
night, and Is then yet. An effort will ba
made te have her placed in tbe Children's
Heme. Had It net been for Mr. Burns'
interference the child might have perished
In last nlght'a storm.
Katie la a very bright little child, and
aha seen became a favorite among tha
police officers, aevenl of whom aha recog receg
nised. She is smarter than many children
with better opportunities and this morn
ing aha was happy aa a child in a palace.
She apant iha time hinging, peeping
Inte dnwers, plsguelng the polleemen and
tha characten who come for soup. Seme

house for a few daya while her parents
awaited a hearing, and aa be entered the
station house thla morning Katie asked him

she lived Katla quickly replied "en the
read, but sometimes In the stone heuse en
East King street," The llttle thing would
make a great deal of life Iu the home or
any one who would adept her.
At neon te-day Michael Burns,who found
tbechlld,and Harrison Shlrk,whe was with
him at the time, and ethers went te the
mayor's office and made affidavits In regard
te tha condition of the child while with her
parents. The mayor gave Katie Inte the
charge of Officer Slegler, who took her tn

AN EXPENSIVE IIIMVE.
Twe Men, Who While Drunk Create an
Excitement, ara Hqu.lehed.
Iaaae Jacksen, the colored man, and B.
F. Bishop white, who wen arrested while
driving recklessly through the streets yes
terday, were befen tha mayor thla morn
lng. Jacksen almost turned white and
trembled like a leaf, while big tears flowed
from his eyes and down hla cheeks. If j
aald he was a barber at Willow Btreet, and
had borrowed the horse of' C. F. Stener te
come te town only te remain a short time.
He fell in with a let of politician who
made him drunk and that lad te the trouble.
Bishop said he had come te town by nil
Intending te go back te Willow Street
with Jacksen. They began drinking and
were arrested. Each man waa armed
with a big bettle of whisky when caught.
Bishop paid the costs Imposed by the
mayor out of $2.85 that he had left. When
Jacksen was told that he would have te
pay costs he shook like a man In a fit. All
the geed money that was In hla pocket
book was 02 cents, but he had a great num
ber of $6 political advertisements. These
made bis pecket book leek very fat, A
colored woman went out en the town and
secured the remaluder of the costs for him
from a friend.
After the men bad tbelr hearing bofero
the mayor they wen taken before Alder
man Dean, where Special Officer Jehn
GUI bad preferred charges against tbem
or cruelty te animals ana reexiess artving.
Quite a number of witnesses testified te the
manner In which the men drove through
the streets, and that they whipped and
otherwise treated the horse badly. Mr.
Stener, the owner or the horse, testified
that he had leaned tbe animal te Jacksen te
come te town after a bushel of peanut.
When he did net return Mr, Stener sent
another man after the hone and found him,
minus a couple of shoes, at Sbober's hotel.
The prlsonen were each fined $5 for fast
driving and $10 for cruelty te animals
(Irem the Utter Uiey can appeal). With
the costs, the bill of each was $29. The men
started out te try te raise the amounts, or
they will bava te go te Jail for 16 days.
Bishop, who was net as greltly worried
ever the case as his friend, said at the bear
ing that he farmed a place in the lewer end
of the county. He dreve te Pequea Valley
hotel yesterday, where he left his team,
and he thinks It is still there. He had In
tended going right back, but this affair get
hlin into trouble, The darkey wa- wild at
the idea or going te Jail and Bishop in a
dry way aald, "twenty-nine dollars Is a
llttle tee much for a half-day's fun."

Benjamin Ii. Landls, a farmer, res'dlug
near the Philadelphia turnpike east of this

men te town. He went te Eshleman's
shop and examined the skin, which he
