The City Tax Levy.

The city council are now engaged
in revising the city assessment list of
taxable property. At their meeting
last night, it was decided to assess
the capital stock. in the aggregate,
of the Farmers National Bank, the
Annapolis Gas Company, and the
Annapolis Water Company sepa-
rately from the real and personal pro-
perty of those corporations. This is
proper move 1t makes non resi-
dent stockholders pay just part oil
municipal taxation, and relieves the
companies to the objection of double
taxation. 1t will add about $40, 600
to taxable basis Of the city.

A Soldier Drowned.

A sad accident occurred at Island Lake,
where the state troops encamped this
year, on Friday July IL. Max Wolf, Gus
Previtzski and William Schmitt, belonging
to Company c, Detroit, Fourth Regiment,
or the company known 50 we'll to Detroit
ers as the Scott Guard, had been in swim
ming on the northern shore of Island
Lake None OF the men could swim at all
Schmitt entered the water first, and was
wading resolutely out over what seemed
TO be IA bottom with gentle incline. Sud
denly the wader uttered cry, held up his
hands and disappeared from view. He
had walked off the edge of a sandbar, and
was in deep pit and far beyond his depth !!
His companions attempted To rush 10 his
assistance But what could they do! The
bottom was Shiny mud, and stuck TO their
feet and besides, they couldn't swim.
Schmitt arose only once, uttered a feeble
cry then sank, and when the waters closed
over his head the second time they sealed
the unfortunate boys fate. An hour later
the body was recovered by the yacht Min
now and brought TO the lake boat house,
from which il was tenderly carried by a
detachment hastily detailed from the com
panies of his friends. Undertaken Valen-
tine Geist of Detroit, happening TO be on
the grounds took charge of the body,
which had been conveyed TO the hospital
tent at the extreme eastern side Of the
camp.
1t has been learned that Schmitt was
moder in the Peninsular car shops, De
troit, living with his old mother at No. 367
Brewster street, and is the youngest of her
three sons. He was about % years old
and unmarried. Schmitt entered the
Scott Guard last January. This was his
first time out with the company.
The regimental cGlors of the Fourth
were lowered to half-ma in Schmitts
honor Later dress parade was
abandoned as an additional
mark Of respect. The Fourth regiment APP
peared without arms and wore fatigue
uniforms.
The body was sent TO Detroit on the
evening train and was accompanied by
guard of honor.
Gen. |. {. Smith IN connection with the
drowning of Schmitt, issued the following
general orders:

Fatal Boiler EXPLOSION.

One OF the boilers in the Port Austin
manufacturing company's salt block ex-
ploded with terrific force the other morn
ing, causing the greatest excitement
throughout the village, most of the in
habitants promptly repairing to the scene.
On arrival the engine room was found to
be shattered TO pieces, two men injured
and boy missing. Dan Dygert, the en-
gineer had an arm broken, was badly cut
on the head and face, and was also severe
ly scalded. The fireman, Andy Mckay,
had IA narrow escape. He was standing
on the boiler alongside that which explod-
ed at the time, but got off with a few
bruises. Willie Jewell, aged II years, was
missing. The pecuniary loss will reach
$1,000, and the cause was too strong a
head of steam.
Workmen were Immediately set at work
removing the debris, and shortly after
ward found the remains of young Jewell
under pile of stone, the clothing almost
wholly torn from the body, which was u
shapeess mass. 1t was tenderly picked
up and removed. The affair has cast a
gloom over the town.

The barn Of Cornelius A. Waldron OF the
township Of Ionia, five miles north of Ionia
burned the other night at midnight IL
contained this years hay and wheat crop,
the wheat being estimated at 500 bushels.
Two horses were also burned, and the to-
tai loss is estimated at 81 800; insured for
$1,000 The fire is supposed To be the work
of Mrs. Anna Cowan and she has been ar
ressed She lived with her husband in a
tenant house on Waldron's farm. She
was tracked from the burning barn
through a cornfield to her house Though
entirely circumstantial, evidence against
her is considered very damaging, and it is
said TO contain elements OF decidedly SEN
sational character The accused is the
mother of four children.

and n couple Of hours later being wanted

The wool market has been active during
the week. Prices for all grades have been
fully maintained, and in some cases an adj
vance has been realized The permanently
of the recent Improvement Is no longer an
open question. IL is not only an establish
ed fact. but i regarded by many as the
foreruuner of another advance. The posi-
ton of the market l. certainly very strong.
but the changes are in favor OF "a steady
demand without any material change in
prices, unless IL he for medium grades
which NAV vet be marked up one or two
cents per pound. Prices for new wooden
fabrics have not yet been established. and
the future of the wool market depends
largely on the ability of manufacturers to
secure an advance in their goods sufficient
to offset the increased cost of the raw
material Most indications point TO an
active fall trade and an increased con
sumption of the products of the mills but
until this is well assured wool dealers can
hardly expect much higher prices. Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, medium grades have
been in active demand at 45c to BIC A
few sales of Y and above at Ole TO &c are
also reported.
