SUGAR HOUSE MUST PAY.

The Tax Board Declines to Reduce

The Tax Commissioners this morning
confirmed the assessments on Matthies-
sen g. Wiechers' sugar house property.
The valuations had been fixe / at 81 .063,-

President O'Donnell, when asked il he
had anything to say concerning the APP

Commissioners don't think any injustice
has been done the sugar firm"
Inquiry at the Sugar House this after
noon elected the information that the
courts would be appealed to. The gentle
man of whom made the inquiry was re-
ticent because he had just heard of the
confirmation and had not consulted the
members OF the firm. He said, however,

HAS CHAPMAN RESIGNED?

He Bade Adieu to His Friends In Christ
Church and Scored the yestry.
1t was rumored about Greenville yester-
day that the Rev. G. d. Chapman of Grace
Episcopal Church would hand in his
resignation as Rector of that church dur
ing the coming week. When reporter
called at his residence on Winfield avenue
this morning Mr.. Chapman said:-'I have
nothing whatever to say for publication. I"
ais it true that the vestry asked for
your resignation~
s.It is"
Ibid you not at first refuse to comply
with the request of the vestrymen"
81 did; but have changed my mind"
Mr.. Chapman bade good by to his
friends Yesterday after the evening SER
vice, saying that he was going away for
while. Mrs. Chapman, who Is teacher
in the Sabbath school connected with the
church. also bade good by to her scholars
and friends. All this has led the
members to suppose that Mr.. Chapman
was going to leave them. At the conclu-
sion of the service yesday morning Mr..
Chapman announced that he would not
be at the regular prayer meeting on
Wednesday night and in his sermon
made several scathing remarks about the
members of the church. Among the re-
marks tnaJ ne MADE was one which
struck the vestrymen forcibly. He said
that what the church (Christ's p. E.
needed was new men. live men, men who
were able to conduct the affairs of the
church, and that as long as they kept the
men that they now had in their respect
i've positions the church could not pros
per.
The vestry at the meeting on December
16, decided to ask for Mr.. Chapman's s
resignation. it having been charged that
many of his congregation could not
readily understand him when in the
pulpit on account of defect in his speech
due to throat trouble. Strangers es-
pecially. it is said. have great difficulty in
this direction. and on this account are
seldom sufficiently impressed TO return
another day. In GreenviIle there are d
number of Episcopaleans, who, it is said,
do not attend this church on that ac-
count.
The Rev. Mr. Chapman does not draw
large crowds to hear him preach, and
consequently the membership of the
church has not grown as rapidly as the
members wish. Mr. Chapman has been
rector of the church for the past thirteen
years, and has made many friends during
that time. The wealthy men OF the
church, however were not satisfied with
him, and consequently when they decided
that it would be best for the church that

DESERTED BY ALL.
No Bail and No Counsel Provided
for the Least Guilty Ballot
Box. Stuffer.

Judge Lippincott today sent to the
County Jail for William f. SIemons, the
only indicted election officer still in jail,
and when he arrived In the Sessions
Court, said to him:-"Siemons, the Court
has received a letter from You and ex-
amined it carefully. IL was the first in
timation the Court had that you were not
represented by counsel for we had sup
posed that the counsel In the other cases
also had been retained for you. Have you
any counseis
"Have you money TO employ counself"
mo, sir"
.'And do you desire counsels"
81 do.''
'sDo you believe it necessary to have
counselp'
"Yes sir"
"And you have no means"
sNo. sir"
"And no friends"
mo, sir"
THE Court said Judge Lippipcott,"
will assign you as counsel, Charles Black,
and the Court will see that he Is at once
notified of the appointment The other
matters to which you refer in your letter,
bail and an early trial, will be acted on
when your counsel formally presents the
facts to the court. The question OF bail
will then be determined"
Siemons wrote to the court a few days
ago saying that he was innocent OF the
charge in the indictment and that he had
been sixty-three days in jail wait
ing to be brought to trial. He
begged Judge Lippincott TO try him as
soon as possible. In connection with this
appeal for an early trial Siemons said he
was friendless and moneyless and with
out counsel.
When Siemons was first arrested he
was bailed by p. j. Condor, who sur
rendered him in order to transfer some
property. When Siemons was delivered
10 the police il was in New
York. He volunteered to come
here, but the New York authorities
would not permit him TO without requi-
sition. 1t was then learned that a requ1-
sition would not lie in bail surrender
case and Siemons swasreleased. He came to
this city at once and was locked mp in
the County Jail. where he has been ever
since. The fact that he has not been
bailed by friends of the Ring is the
strongest possible evidence tnat he can
offer as to his Innocence.

Six Toughs Captured I'm a shanty on Pa
vonla Avenue.
Six sorry looking and detected speci-
mems Of humanity were brought into
Justice Wanser's Court this morning BY
Sergeants Wade and Coffin, of the Third
precinct, charge ed with being disorderly
persons. They were arrested at four
O'Clock this morning in the shanty at the
foot of Pavonia avenue hill, which Is used
for shelter for the extra horses neces-
sary to assist IN dra wing the cars up the
hill. For a long time this shanty has
been the resort of some pretty tough
characters. who work the growler the
whole night long, and hold orgies there
which make night hideous.
Any ore coming along on foot after
dark is in great DANCER of being garroted,
and person set upon by the gang would
have no chance at all. Considering the
nature of the place and its comparative
loneliness and isolation from any means
OF help, IL IS wonder that some very Sc
rious crime has not been committed
there. The railroad company has COM
planned OF this gang and the police have
been laying for them.
It was raided this morning, and when
the officers entered they found the six
prisoners all huddled together like sheep
in u corner on the ground and all in a
drunken sleep. Evidences of their pro-
elivities were scattered about in the
shape of tin cans and empty bottles.
When arraigned this morning they gave
their names and pedigrees as follows
