found that Clifford served as a ma
chinist on three men-of-war iu the
uavy of Uuclo Sam during the Spinish
war aud that thougli he waa a regular
hobo he had respected relatives in
Connecticut. An indictment against
John Doo will probably he found in
this case.
Seven of the indictments are be
lieved to be against James Brown, of
Perth Amboy, against whom there
were several charges of theft. Out
side.of these cases there are few from
Perth Amboy.
The Grand Jury has not yet com
pleted its labors. It will return again
on Tuesday. Jauuary 5, when they
will find an indictment in the Clifford
murder case and also consider the
matter of the presentment against
tramps.

CONSIDERED
409 CLAIMS.
Property Valued in all atS8B,00C
Have Been Looked Over
by Commissioners.
$1,500 IN REDUCTIONS
President Barnekov States that Tonight is
Positively the Last Meeting—Compari
son of Claims with Last Year—Copper
Works Failed to Get Much Reduc
tion.
The Commissioners of Appeal met
last night and took np about fifteen
claims. The reduction on the Raritan
Copper Works was very small. To
night the commissioners meet for
what is stated by President Barnekov
to be positively the last time.
Up to date they have received 409
claims for adjnstment. Of these 250
were considered tavorably. They
were for some $85 OOO and the reduc
tions amounted to $1,500,approximate
ly. Tins is much more than the first
estimation which was $200. Most of
these reductions have been for poll
tax errors.
The board has had thirteen sittings.
Last year the total number of claims
received were fortv two and the re
dnctitns amounted to $176 on about
$10,000 property.

The Elks minstrels presented an ex

The introductory chorus was “Old

Ain't that a shame,” the verses were
original and he scored several includ
ing defeated election candidates. Dr.
H. K. Mason sang “Tell Me that
Beautiful Story.” His expression
was perfect. A comic ditty, “Pretty
Little Dinah Jones” by T. J. Dover
followed. It was well sung. Dr. Frank
Crowther sang “Navahjo” in his
usual catchy fashion. J. E. Strieker’s,
“I'll he Busy All Next Week,” made
a hit. Lawyer George S. Silzer, of
Metuclien, rendered “Up in the
Cocoanut Tree.” His sweet tenor
voice was much appreciated by the
audience. Bernard M. Gannon fnrn. a
ished “Down on the Ohio,” in a m
storm of applause. Messrs. J. M. fl

classical style in slangy expression.
Mr. LaMar gave a Yodling song.
“Sleep Baby Sleep.” Mr. Norcross
