A wealthy st. Louis Girl Takes the
Veil for the Second Time.

ST.. LOUIS, No, Aug. 1S-Miss Lula Tay-
lor, well-known heiress of this city, for a
second time in her career took the vows of a
protested nun at the Visitation convent in
this city Friday. She is a daughter
of the late George r. Taylor, and
at the age of is inherited $4,000 in
securities and real estate At that time
she decided on entering the convent,
and before carrying out her determination
she executed deeds of trust conveying to her
two sisters, Miss Theresa and Miss Ida Tay-
lor, the bulk of her real estate, valued at
$4,000 She gave her brother, George Tay-
lor, 81, 200, and entered the convent with
$1,000. This passed into the Golfers of the
establishment, and it is alleged undue
influence was brought to bear on
the girl to induce her to return to
the world and reclaim the rich legacy
The conditions of the deeds were that in case
she changed her mind and returned to the
world she could have her property back
Last spring she signified her intention of re-
turning to the world, and her sisters Informed
her that if her determination was honest she
could have her property, otherwise not. A
suit was instituted, and in May was compro-
missed by the return to Miss Taylor of all her
property She again took the black veil, and
will bestow her fortune on the holy order.

TROUBLE IN MEXICO.
Forty Persons Alledged to Have Been
Arrested.

ST. LOUIS Aug. 1S.-A special from the
city ofEAexico says: Forty persons in all
have been arrested in connection with the
conspiracy. Gen. PeZa chief of the artillery
department, and Gen. Echegary are impris-
oned Echegary commanded the garrison
at Vera Cruz under Diaz' administration,
five years ago Pea and Echegary are
great friends and are thought to have had
no connection with the conspiracy. Gen.
Chavarrea's whereabouts are unknown. He
has been removed from the barracks. His
soon is out looking for him. All the prison
ers were turned over TO Juan Perez de Leon,
first Judge of this district. The authorities
deny that any prisoners have been sent to
Vera Cruz or Yucatan. The conspiracy is
reported to have been to imprison or shoot
Diaz and Gonzales, The. conspirators
were under the leadership of Jordon,
editor La Opionion National, and
two colonies, Salcedo and Rodriguez. The
government detectives are said to have OBJ
tanned list of the conspirators in Jordon's
possession. Gen. Allatorne has been arrested
The plan of the conspiracy is said to have
been to reconstruct the government as in
1876 under President Lerdo. 1t is thought
the cause was betrayed. A compositor in
Jordon's Office has been arrested, and his
wife is kept in close confinement.

and over 300 wooden buildings involving an
expenditure of over 81 100000.

Brick Making, of which there was manufac-
tured last season over 100000 of superior
quality, and arrangements have now been
completed to manufacture more than l0,OOO,-
600 the coming season. There Is great demand
here for iron work, and a foundry and ma
chine shop which could make cast pieces for
buildings, breaking plows for the farmers, and
do repair work on implements and steam

Taxation of National Banks.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1S.-Justice Stanley
Matthew'S of the supreme court of the
United States, in a suit brought by the city
of Covington, KY, against various national
banks Of that city to recover taxes alleged to
be due on their surplus real estate and office
fixtures, has rendered a decision The banks
had obtained a temporary restraining
order, and the case came up on a
motion to make the Injunction per-
petuaL The justice holds that the furniture
and real estate are exempt from taxation,
because of the provision in the Kentucky
statutes providing for a specified tax on each
share of national bank stock, which IS to be
in lieu of all other taxation, but if this were
not the case the furniture would still be- ex-
empt because of an act of congress, without
whose authority it cannot be taxed, for state
authority does not permit it, but it does au-
thorize the taxation of real estate. This
surplus fund and undivided profits,
he held, were not subject to taxation because
not included in the permission granted in the
act of congress, without which any state or
municipal taxation of national banks is void !;
nor were the surplus fund and undivided
profits subject to taxation underfcongres-
sional authority, which permits the taxing of
shares of stock Beyond the limit fixed by the
SbdUe Statute VI oU CeilCS per SiltIe VI SluO n
