LAND IN NEW YORK.

1t Represents . Value OF Not Less Than
Two Billion Dollars.
The total assessed valuation OF real
estate in the city OF New York in 1886
was 81. 2O3. .94l. .O65; in 1887. Of 16l. S3a
plots Of real estate. $l.254. .491. .S49-
showing an increase in one year OF
go, $50. .78l. But as the assessed is less
than twO-thirds of the market value,
the whole is not worth less than two
billion dollars. Real and personal
property within the municipality has
grown throughout the past decade
more than $40.OOO,OOO per annum.
The books in the Office of the cOmmis-
sioners of taxes and assessments state
the amount Of taxes paid by every real
estate holder at the rate Of <2 16-1OO
on every hundred Of the assessed valu-
alton. But these figures do not consti-
tute a trustworthy standard in the de-
termination of market values. for the
asserted reason that some assessments
in downtown wards are of moro than
market value; in other wards, OF only
OShCAS anu SSAA OSoCIS 0Cdub
lots are assessed at from % TO SO per
cent. improved propety from Sc to 20
per cent. Of real value. Inequitable
as the assessments are. it is yet true,
as affirmed by ex-Mayor William X.
Grace, that upon no species OF prop
erty can taxes be levied with more
equality as to the value, nor with bet
ter chances Of speedy and equitable
collection. than uDon real property"
The valuation placed upon personal
estate from all sources is not more
than 10 per cent OF the valuation
placed upon real property. and taxes
from this source are most difficult Of
collection. OF the annual city budget
which generally amounts 10 from thir.
ty-one to thirty-f0ur millions OF dol
lars, the taxation imposed upon real
estate supplies more than four-fifths."

MoIlie Devoe Again.

Late yesterday afternoon return OF
service of writ of habeas corpus was
made before Judge Mckinley. The writ.
orders Chief of Police Glass to produce
before the Court today the body of Mollie
Devoe. The writ is obtained by Mrs.
Watson, of the Girls Home, and it is
surmised that pretty Mollie is to be sent
away to some reform institution or
Magdalen asylum. The girl is only
about Is, but she has led rather wild
life of late. 1t will be a difficult task to
keep her in order if all the reports are
true. From all appearances she ought
to be put un der some restraint and guild
ing care.

THE DE LUNA CASE.
A woman who Was Ent1fel
Too Much Married.

TOO MUCH NA8HIA0Oe
The case of the De Luna woman
against the Southern Pacific railroad for
the killing of msn she claimed as her
husband was concluded yesterday, and
the jury promptly returned verdict for
the defense. As foreshadowed in the
HERALD report of yesterday. the defense
had plenty of testimony to show that
the woman was not the widow of the
man killed in the accidant. They put q
man on the stand who swore that he
married the woman some years ago in
San BernarGino with all due formalities
and the rites of the church. The priests
certificate was put in evidence, and as
the plaintiff made no pretense of ever
having been divorced from the San Ber-
nardino man, she could hardly be the
lawful wife Of the deceased.
