THE TURNER'S COME BACK.

They Won a Diploma and Were Enthusi-
astically Received.
The return of the class of eight turner's
who represented the Hudson City Verein
at the National Festival at Cincinnati was
the occasion of general illumination last
night in the vicinity of the elevator. The
boys brought home diploma.
They were met at the elevated station
by the Turn Verein, accompanied by the
Arion Singing Society, the Junior Arions
and crowds of citizens, who Joined in a
procession, headed by brass band, and
escorted them through the principal
streest.
The paraders all carried Japanese and
Valencia lanterns, which with the flash
lights and rockets, made the procession
an imposing spectacle.
A reception was held at the Verein
headquarters by the Turn Sisters, and the
bows were also entertained ON the way at
the Arions' handsome new quarters.
They are very proud Of the captured
diploma and say that If 1t had not been
for Western beer they would have brought
home individual prizes.

A LARGE INCREASE SURE.
The New City Assessors Will WhOop
Values Up to Fair Market Figures.

Prevailing rupors that the new City
Tax Board have increased the rateables of
the city from s65, 900, 900 to 800, ,OOO, 900 and
over are scarcely well founded. inter-
rupted Assessors Lawrence, O'Don-
nell and Prigge in their work
this morning to talk with
them about their business. They
said they had completed the First district
assessment except that few tracts are
reserved for further consideration. They
have almost completed the Third district,
but they could not say what the total as
sessment in either district is yet.
They do not expect to finish the revision
of the books before August l, and it will
probably be close to September / before
the levy is complete and the rate for the
ensuing fiscal year can become known,
The basis on which they are working,
however, indicates large increase in the
rateables Assessments by the old Asses
sors averaged about sixty per cent. OF
market value. The new Assessors are Tx
ing tax values at fair market value. The
most notable increase they have made
is one from $500 to $4,000
1t goes without the saying that all the
increases will not be on that scale, nor
anything like it. Whenever they strike a
piece of underyalued property they notify
the owner that they propose to raise the
ante, and these are the people who are
making the howl about mammoth In
creases.
"All we are doing" said both Judge
Lawrence and Mr.. O'Donnell, sis to i'm
pose fair values and equalize them all
over the city,. We haven't the smallest
idea how our fOotings will compare with
the footings of the old tax books"
The Board will be provided with an
Office next week. The northeast corner
of the Aldermanic Chamber will be cut
off and enclosed with portable partitions
that can be folded back when the use OF
the whole chamber is necessary.

AN INSURANCE swINDLE.
Collecting Money for Premiums Without
Authority.

Collecting Money for Premiums Without
Authority.
A peculiar case of insurance swindling
came up before Recorder McDonough in
Hoboken this morning. A young man
named Frank H. Lovett, alias F. Direll
was arrested this morning for obtaining g
money by false pretences. The complaint
was made by Timothy Murphy, of No.
209 Willow avenue, who said that he had
given Lovitt 81 to insure his life for 81 900.
A receipt was given. The money had not
been handed over to Louis Stein, the
authorized agent of the Hartford Insur-
ance Company in Hoboken.
Several other charges will be brought
against the man, who was caught while
canvassing this morning.
The case is likely to prove difficult tech
nically Loyitt says that he was author
lied by Mr.. Stein to act as sub agent for
him, and that he would wait thirty days
for the money collected in premiums. Mr..
Stein denies the sub agency. --.--

LONDON, June 20, 1SS9.-Advices from
Paris state that the first informal session
of the international conference of dele
gates from legislative bodies in the inter-
ests of peace and international arbitration
opened this morning.
The conference is largely attended, and
although the work of organization is all
that can be attempted today, the interest
of those on the ground is apparent. This
conference grows out OF the efforts or q
committee composed of Members of Par
lament, several of whom visited the
United States last year in behalf OF the
movement.
AS result there is large delegation
from America, headed by Congressman
Mason, of Chicago. Fifty members of the
House of Commons represent England
and delegates are present FROM the Parli-
aments of Australia, Italy, Germany,
Switzerland, Belgium and Denmark.
Humanitarians have long been antici-
pating this conference, and attach greater
Importance to it than to an ordinary peace
congress from the fact that 1t is COM
posed entirely of legislators who not
only have influence in shaping the policy
of their respective countries, but VINO
also have a voice in making that policy;
A despatch to the Chronicle from Berlin

that on this account King Christian, OF
Denmark, win resign his honorary col
onelship in the German army.
The counsel of Mrs. Maybrick, the

pool for poisoning her husband, say that
they have received seven letters from
men who are willing to marry the ac-
cused woman In the event OF her ac-
quittal.
One is from Scotch clergyman. man
of high family. This instance recalls the
case of Madeline Smith, the heroine OF

Horace Vernet, the artist, was go

way. In the same compartment with
him were two ladies whom he had
never seen before, but who were EVIL
IDENTIFY acquainted with him. They
examined him infinitely and com
mented freely on his martial bearing,
his hale old age, the style of his dress,
etc. They continued their annoyance
until finally the painter determined to
put an end to the persecution. AS the
train passed through the tunnel of st.
Cloud the three travellers were wrap

raised the back of his hand to his
mouth and kissed it twice violently.
On emerging from the obscurity he
found that the ladies had withdrawn
their attention from him, and were
accusing each other OF having been
kissed by a man in the dark.
Presently they arrived in Paris, and

Surprised Young Ladies'

dashed a bucket of cold water in her
ACE as she was standing In a drug store.
A hanging cigar lighter had touched off
the inflammable forest of millinery sur
mounting her bonnet, and an excited
clerk adopted that mode Of extinguish-
ing her.

ladies Of Selma, Ala, was hailed on the
street by a bystander, who very politely
knocked a rat off her hustle, where It
was enjoying a delightful ride. AS the

saw that it was actually a live rat, she
had a lively foot a ce for some distance.
