estimate of flic ileiiartinenl expendit

the heads ol all city deiaitliipnts have
Hindi, their estimates Independent of
advice and have submitted the same to
the city controller Jo be by him silli
tnltted in turn to councils for consid
eration by the Joint estimates com
mittee. While Chief Hlckey has had no such
Intention it Is piobable that his new
and open-handed manner of making tip
the estimate will not only give the
members of councils a comprehensive
Idea of the lire department's needs but
will also encotiinne unusual support In
provldltiK for the items In the esti
mate. 1.. P. Heldler, chairman of com
mon council's flit department commit
tee, was chosen to preside over last
night's conference, which was held in
the common council chamber.
Km h person present was provided
witli a detailed estimate compiled by
Chief Hlckey of the KSiiS expenditures.
It Involved $44,iU5."iT for general and
cilrient Items, all consldeted absolutely
necessarj . and $(!l,"4L'.4fl for recom
mended increase in the department's
elllelency by the purchase of additional
I'pparatus. the employment of more
petmnncut men, new lire quarters, etc.
The loeommendatlons wete cut about
Ss.Onn. which made the total of the
general estimate and leconiniendations
about S'is.oon.
THIS YKAK'K AIM'ROI'HIATION.
This year $41,."in.:'il was appropriated
for lire denaitment purposes. Chief
Mickey's general estimate for 1S9S,
which was but slightly changed last
night. Is for $44,n-.'.",.r,7, an Inciease of
but $ri.4S..:it. The incrcnt-e Is much
smaller than Is usually asked for one.
year as compaied with that Immedi
ately pieeedlng and in the present case
applies to only such details In th" way
of equipment and repair as would be
expected In the growth of the city and
the effoit of the department to keep
pace with it.
The leatute of interest in the file de
partment estimate will in its recom
mendations involving over $r::,000 in
addition to the geneial estimate. It is
not expected In fad it Is Impossible
without the nroposed bond Issue that
many of these Items can be provided
for. Tile largest was for $:;o,OtlO for the
purchase of the present site of the
Crystal Ilosecompany.onl.ltu'en street,
now owned by the Blair estate. This
Item was reduced and changed so as
to Involve an expenditure of but $2l',
(100 for the erection of a llle and police
headquarters building and a home for
Crystal company on the city's plot In
the tear of the city hall.
Less than three yeats a.vi nlans foi
"tldi a buildlns were adopted. The
sttnctuie war to be connected by an
overhead passageway with the piesent
otllce of the chief of police. It was to
lontaln stalls for the police patrol
norses. four Hie department hoists,
anil a hospital stall; space for a fire
engine, hose carl, chief's wauron and
p:tiol wagon; ,'iuarters for the per
"ipnent men of one fire company,
olllces for Hie chiefs ot tip lite and
police derailments', bath looms; a dry
In i loom for hose, a storage room and
other fndlltlfs for the two depart
ment?. tt'OI'1,1) I'ltOTflCT Tin: HILL.
Oik' of ilie arguments advanced for
the election of such u building is- that
It would furnish better lire protection
for the hill while not lessening the
protection of the gloving business dis
trict In the vicinity of Linden street
and Washington avenue or of Hie lo
cality aiound Spruce stret and Wy
oming avenue which can lc quickly
i cached by tli. Phoenix and Nay Aug
companies.
nether large Item Is $12,000 for the
put (has" of a site and building for th
Century company. To: the puichase of
the lire alarm system which is now
rented from the Oamewell coninany,
?!t.2.".0 is wanted. If the whole of this
item cannot be appiopiiated It is pos
sible that part of It will be set aside
for the put chase of ihe boxes It the
(iainewcll company will consent to sell
a pan of the system.
The additional permanent men at
yeailv Mlath's of Jfioo each, a total of
$G,U0'J are needed, and the purchase
of combination hose and chemical wag.
ons for Nay Aus and Kxcelsinr com
panies ate recommended. The two
wagons would cost $:J,100, and .11.440 for
i hemlcdl engines would have to be pto
vlded. While not anticipating any puitimlar
disposition by ounclls of the estimates
ami recommendations, chief HIcKi-v,
ihe tlte (tepaituieut committees and
tno board of englneeis nie satisfied
that they are colnsr to ask nothing be
vonil reason. If every Hhiii was grant

IJOY'S SUDDEN DEATH.
His CrIcl'Slrlclimi l'nrouts ('mi
As-
sign no Cause.
A falr-halred hoy lay down to sleep
Tuesday night. In the morning when
his mother went to awaken hlni he
was III. He kissed lpr; she left the
room and upon re-entering ten min
utes afterward she found him cold In
dee ih.
The boy was .lames Cafferty. son of
Mr and Mrs. John I). Cafferty. or CI."
Fourth street. Hellevue. What caused
his sudden Inking' nway will alwuys re
main unknown. His parents can only
guess at ll
A mark on the boy's head (started the
gossip among neighbors that some one
had beaten him for a misdeed. Hut
this was not titip for Mr. and Mrs.
Cuff city mourn the loss of their boy
as true loving parents do. II' would
be fourteen yenis of age next August.
Some people say that little James
Cafferty was out skating Monday. He
fell, they say, and hurt his head. An
other story Is that he sllupfd on the
sidewalk and struck his head against
the frozen ground.
Whatever It was the boy didn't coni-
i plain any to his patents when he
I came Into the house at 11 o'clock Mon-
day morning. He was sick he said.
He didn't leave th" house after that.
i He went to bed Monday night, got ill)
in the morning nnd hung around dur
ing the day.
"He never once mentioned a hurl to
us," said the grief stilcken father yes
terday. "We would have got a doctor
If we thought Jimmie was very sick."
"Yes." rejoined Mis. Cafferty. "he was
happy and healthy. He didn't com
plain at all. When I went In to see
him this morning he put his arms
mound me and kis-ned me. He said
nothing even then of a hurt to his
head. I don't know what happened
h'tii."
Coroner Longstieet viewed the re
mains yesterday. He decided not to
hold an Inquest as then was no evi
dence of foul play. Just what caused
the death will probably never h?
known. The funeral will be tomorrow
nf lei noon.

IT WAS MURDER

Such Was the Verdict on the Death ol
John Frank, Jr.

Thought lie llnd Itccu Hurt by n
l'all--Ho Hied nud the Autopsy
Cino i:idcuco That I'nink's .Skull J
Had Itccu Crushed lvu capon. !
The pollie department has a chance
to distinguish Itself In ferreting out j
whnt a coroner s Jury believes to nave
been a case of murder. A vet diet was
reached lnt nljjht that John Frank,
Jr.. who was found dylliK In the Lacka
wanna river, Sunday morning. Dec. I'.i,
enme to his deatli from the effects of
blows upon the head and not from u
fall, as was generally supposed
The veidlct was based ehlelly upon
the testimony of Coroner Longstieet,
In his autopsy of the body he found on
Frank's batteied head the best of cir
cumstantial evidence that the young
man was the victim of foul play. If
Ibis testimony had been lacking there
was abundant reason to suppose that
Frank died from the effects of some
thing other than a fall.
On the Sunday morning: In question
Frank was found moaning and mumb
ling incoherently while silting In a
kneeling position near the liver's shote
below the Jersey Central tracks, near
the Kim stteet bridge. It was sup
posed he had fallen from the inltroad
wall and had been stunned. He was
taken in the patrol wagon to the cen
tral police station, where he died In
two hours. Police Surgeon Fulton hail
been called to attend hlni, bill could
do nothing to save his life.
COltONEIt CALLKD.
Frank's body was taken to Itaub's
undertaking establishment on Spruce
street and the case turned over to the
coroner.
It was ascertained that on Sunday
night Frank was carousing In Polish
saloons on the South Side and that
'Patrolman Sartor had taken hlin from
the custody of two Polanders. Frank
being sent toward the Klin street bridge
on his route home to the West Side and
his companions in another direction.
On Tuesday three Polandeis, John Ku
mar. John Olszurskl and (Icoige Her
line, were arrested.
The latter was discharged by Alder
man Millar and the oilier two held for
a heating on Wednesday and pending
Investigation by the police. No evi
dence against them was found and they
wen released.
Corner Longstreet discovered In his
autopsy that Frank's skull had sus
tained several fractures. It was "al
most mushy," us he tlesctlbed it. The
Injury was at the base of the skull,
but the sealii was not cut, showing
that a fall could hardly have caused
the fracture. Theie was every reason
to believe that Frank had been struck
several times with some heavy instal
ment that had a smooth surface.
TUB JURY'S VKUDICT.
The revelations of the nutopsv were
made known to the coroner's Jury, who
met last evening in the arbitration
room at the court house. From this
evidence, augmented by the knowledgi
that Frank had been carousing and in
bad company the night he met his
death, a verdict was quicUly reached
that he died from the effects of a blow
or blows on the head at the hand of
a person or persons unknown.
The verdict will be made known to
the police early this morning, and it
Is possible that there may be further
developments In the case.
