Value OF Property in Monroe.


We are indebted to Mr.. J. 5. Ray,
City Assessor and Tax Collector, for
the following recapitulation Of the tax
able property of Monroe:
Cash value of lots, S491 90
Capital in trade... oo,oSU.1S
Money loaned ut intereSt............ 1,723.5S
Cash value of stock ........:........... 2Oo
Total val. real and personal prop'y s607, 0s5.I7
Tax there "oio.oo
NoN-RES1DESTS. -.
Cash value of lots......... l.1oOOO
Tax thereon Observation-Disclosures. 800
The number of taxpayers is two
hundred and tE,irty-four. The assessed
value of property is about Sl4O 1000 less
this wear than last, which is due en-
tirely to the difference in valuations,
all property being valued at much less
this year than last. Not less than $780,
900 have been added to the amount of
taxable values, in this city, within the
last twelve months. Indeed, consider
ing the enlargement Of the city boun-
diaries on the east and the additions
made by Mr.. Layton and Harris sue
caSsion and the improvements made in
these additions, the increase would
doubtless come nearer 100000. The
tax roll is now ready for inspection and
revision.

New York, Nov flames Fisk, Jr., was
formally, arrested last evening on the suit OF
Josephine Mansfield on civil action to recover
1000 of Mansfcld's which Fisk used but
failed to account for He gave bail in $35, 600.
\ letter from Mansfield to Fisk upbraids him
for perfdy to her and says it Is a shame to
compel her who grew up with him from nothing
to the now great Erie impressario to vindicate
herself in court She refers to lis scheme re-
vealcd to her four years ago of stealing the
Erie books, of staying with him in Jersey City,
and how when he was buying the New York
Legislature he said it would result in either a
Fisk palace in New York or a stone palace
at Sing Sing. He requested her if 1t
was the latter to take cottage outside the
prison. She is willing to have affairs arbltra-
ted by VIM NJ Evarts, but says if his power
over the courts is still supreme and Tammany
is still able to protect him the reward may still
