Hne-Susttces' New Year Carriage Hire.
THEY HAVE THE CONTROL OF THE EXPENDITURES IN
THEIR OWN HANDS

THEIR OWN HANDS,
1t Is learned at the first controllers Office that
the accounts OF the marshal OF the Supreme Court
nave always contained heavy expenses for the
carriage hire On New Year day for the justices OF
the court. The carriages on that day cost 500
apiece, and are always secured at the same uyery
stable: In 1884 eleven carriages were hired for
New New lear day at a cost OF 500, which is cOns1d-
ereo an unnecessary expense for one days pleasur-

A Conference Of Catholic PrelAtes ON
the Labor MOvememt.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE Record this morn
ing says: An important conference bearing on the
relation OF the Catholic church to the Knights Of
Labor In the United States is believed to have
taken place in this city yesterday between Cardi-
nal Gibbons, Archbishop Corr1gan, OF New York,
and Archbishop Ryan, OF Philadelphia at the resi-
dence OF the latter. From noon until O'Clock in
the afternoon the three prelates were closeted.
and at the latter hour Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishop Elder, OF Cincinnati, was expected, but he
come. Whatever occurred at the conference Is
kept close secret, but it is understood that the
meeting was for the purpose OF discussing thor
political movements, with a view Of either con-
demning or approving them, according as they
appear to be I'm conformity with the church. Also
that any action that might be taken should be
uniform throughout the country. It Is believed
that the action OF Archbishop C0rT1gan In sus-
pending DR.. McGlynn formed the leading subject
OF elaboration.
A prominent priest said last evening, in refer
ring to the meeting, that the labor question was
certainly assuming such proportions and drifting
into such channels that the church could not very
long ignore II. He referred to the interest taken
In labor movements, as exemplined by the heavy
vote poiled for Henry George, and thought Catho-
lies should be advised by their spiritual supe1ors
whether or not It was dangerous 70 support such
movements. s&0f course, he concluded, no action
win be taken by the hierarchy without delbera-
ti0n and care, and II any change Is made II VIII
only be for the best interests OF the church ana the
spiritual welfare Of its adherentA"

IOWa,s Stringent Tax Laws.
THE PULLMAN COMPANY TRYING TO RESTRAIN THn
COLLECTION OF TAXES on ITS CARS


CHICAGO, Dec. IA special from ~. Paul, Minp.,
says: The Pullman Palace Car company, through
its attorney, appeared before Judge Brewer In the
United States circuit court yesterday, and applied
for Injunction 10 restrain the Iowa officers
from collecting taxes levied on rolling stock in
that state. The law OF Iowa on the subject OF
railway taxation permits the state 10 impose a
tax on all the property OF railroad companies I'm
sight. The fact that the Pullman sleepers In Use
are not the actual property OF railroad companies
using them cuts no figure I'm making up the tax
levy, and the state has imposed its taxes on the
railroad companies on all rolling stock used by
them. While the Pullman Car company does not
appear on the tax list, and has not been regarded
as factor by the Iowa state authorities stil IL ID
held by the railway companies for the propor-
tionate amount OF the taxes which its stock Is
sessed for, and it now asks that the court gran.
the order Of restraint from collecting that portion
OF the taxes relating to its stock. This taxable
property includes in all about 500, 900.

The One Price Cash Dry Good:
Store established in this city a
month ago by Hofer Bros. has mel
with phenomenal success. TIE
plan adopted by them to keep the
best possible stock of goods and
sell one price for cash, has met
with great favor from the purchas-
ing public. 1t has had the immedi-
ate effect of lowering the price of
ladies goods very materially in Car
son, while the quality of the goods
sold has been equal to those sold in
San Francisco. Where a system Of
long credit is in vogue. there are
many bad debts in store and the
dealer has to sell at high figures
so that his paying customers help
make up the losses incurred by
those who never pay. The one
price coin system adopted by Hofer
Bros. places the very best quality of
goods in the reach of everybody.
The store is growing daily in popu-
Iarity.

&E.OI) Trophy.

The rifle match between the
Comstock Rife Team and the
National Guard Team OF California
resulted in a victory for the Com
stockers by the remarkable score of
$40. The Virginia Chronicle says:
"A project is under considera-
ton by the members of the various
rife teams in this city to get up a
magnificent State trophy costing
$1,000, and to challenge all the
rifle teams on the Pacific slope to
come here and take it away, pro-
vided they can WIN it in friendly
shooting match against team Sc
lected from the crack shots on the
Comstock. If they fail to win it,
challenge will then be issued to the
world.
The sum required for the pur-
chase Of this trophy will be raised
BY subscription"
Of course, now that stocks are up
nobody minds chipping in on a ST.
600 trophy, but the idea of only
having crack shots from the Com
stock take part is an odd one. 1t
might be well to allow some of the
Carson shots to take hand, con-
sidering the fact that this city has
50 frequently beaten the Virginia
team.
