AMONG THE BAPTISTS.
Money Lying Idle for the Lack
Collection.

The annual meeting of the St. Paul
Baptist union was held last night in the
parlOrs of the First Baptist church,
about seventy-fve people from the
various Baptist congregations of the
city being in attendance. President
W. NJ. Bushnell presided. Interesting
reports were read by c. S. Schurman,
secretary. and ID. L. Wellington, treas
uror. The unions work iii the Baptist
cause throughout the city was reported
satisfactory and encouraging. though
Fthe financial condition of the organiza-
ton had not warranted their push
ing into new fields as desired. The
financial difficulty, in fact, had
been about the only drawback. and the
present outlook was reported as not Of
the highest. The treasury was not de-
pleted because @church members re-
fused to subscribe freely enough, but
be ,ause ghe union failed in collecting
their subscriptions. The various Bap-
fist missions of the city were reported
in a healthy condition. The union lis
tened to encouraging words from Rev.
Smith, president of the Minneapolis
union, and Rev. Fosket, Minneapolis
missionary. The election OF seven
members to the bOaad of twenty-One
fOT terms of three years. and one 10 I'LL
a vacancy, resulted as follows: A. G.
Bonham, Rev. w. II. Butrick, E. NJ.

City officials Aree Upon a Reduc-
ton of the Proposed Tax Levy.
The council committees on WAYS and
means and taxes met with Comptroller
Roche at the council chamber Yesterday
afternoon to consider the tax levy for
1890. In the original estimate the rate
was placed at 1885 mills on the dollar,
but after carefully considering the
question it was decided by the joirt
committee TO cut down Gel tain depart
ment estimates, reducing the total levy
for state, county and city purposes to
is mills, or One-half a mill less than the
last tax levy. 1t was deemed inadvisa-
BILE to refund even at a much lower
rate of interest the s per cent
bonds maturing in 1890, the COM
mitteemen considering that such
course would possibly hurt
the city'S credit in the money market.
1t was decided, however, to cut down
the board of education tax half mill,
the reduction being made in the boards
estimate for school buildings contem-
plated in 1890, as suggested by Comp
troller Roche. The estimate for gen
eTal city purposes was also reduced
from 9:35 mills to $40 mills, the COM
mitteemen trusting to increased receipts
from licenses and careful financiering
during the coming year. The levy to
be recommended at the special meeting
next Monday night will be: For city
purposes, $40 mills; for state purposes,
2.90 mills; for county purposes, z mills;

as her agent. From them it was learned
that Mrs. Barteau employed him to as
certain what property was still held in
her name, and to secure for her an an
nuity of about 1.5U0. He found that all
of her property in this city was heavily
incumbered, except the lot at the cor
Iner of WaeOuta and Fifth streets. Mr.
White ceased to act as Mrs. Barteau's
agent in 1886. when the st. Paul Trust
