THE FIssERs, LEAGUs
Asks for I'll. Taxation OF Mortgages
and Dther Ihings.


CHEsrERTowN, Mp, Feb. 1S.--The
farmers League OF Kent county met at
Chestertown to-day, and was we'll at
tended. The taxation Of mortgages,
which has received nnch discussion by
Kent county farmers during the present
agitation of local, agricultural and politi-
cal economical methods, received large
share OF the attention of the farmers.
They recently passed resolution asking
the Legislature that mortgages be not
taxed. The League to-day, in opposition
to that action, passed the following reso-
luton: "Ihst it is the sense of the
farmers Lssgue OF Kent county that
mortgages should DO taxed, and that our
senators and representatives in the Mary
land Legislature be requested to use their
influence to secure the passage of bill
to that effect
Judge Joseph 4. Wickes made strong
speech recommending that the jail ex.
penses of this county be materially les
sened.
w. B. s. Chapman, organizer Of the
National Farmers Alliance, made a speech
urging the organization of branch Of
the alliance. The probabilities are that
| the move will meet with poor success. A
general move ID on foot to curtsil, II
possible, the general appropriations for
the administration of county affairs.
This reform 10 being strongly urged by
the farmers, and sweeping changes are
advocated.

ERccaune We Knew 40 Much.
PHGsIxyILLE, Pa. Feb. l3.--It Is now
clearly demonstrated that Patrick Hag-
nay's murder was the result OF CON
spirsey upon tho part Of the Illicit liquor
BelIers. His death was intended as q
warning and to teErorize the other Off
GERS of the law so thSt they would not
attempt to interfere with the numerous
speak-easies in this place. The latest do
yelopmenss pat a most sensational phase
upon the case. John Erenwith, a puddler
In the Phoenix Iron Company's works,
was arrested 20 day. and was given q
private nearing before District Attorney
Baldwin.
William Hertenstine, who was arrested
on Tuesday last, bad been making threats
against the life OF Officer Kane, to the
effect that within three weeks from the
ia al night when Hagney was shot down
like a dog John Kane would meet his
death in the game mysterious manner.
Hestenatine told his story under oath,
which was to the effect that on Saturday,
the evening before Haguey was shot, he
accompanied John Trenwith aud his g.
years-old son to Eorristown. TrenRlth
bought nine gallons of whisky. He
brought four gallons himself back to this
place, Hertenstine brought four more
and the boy took charge of tho odd
gallon. They returned on the midnight
train, and reached the station hero NJ
about H. 80 O'Clock on Sunday morning.
They got Oh the train on the inside
and walked up the tracks, passing Hag-
ney, who was at his duty tending tho
switch. Trenwith made O threatening
remark against Hagney after they had
p ssed him. They went at once to Tren-
with's house, end sat down for while,
and took a few drinks. Trenwith asked
for paper and a string, and, after writing
on the paper, put it, together with the
string, in his pocket. He .den asked his
wife for his revolver, and she told him
where it was. Trenwith took the revolver
and put it in his pocket, and he and Her.
| tenstine went out together.
II was shortly after l O'clock in the
morning. They walked down to the cor
ner of Black Rock and Railroad streets,
when Trenwith said: "Stand here half
an hour till come back" So saying, he
walked on. hertenstine testified that he
! followed Trenwith down as far az hia
house, which he entered, and he then
went to bed, Trenwith going toward the
railroad station. Last Saturday evening
the men met, when Trenwlth said to
Hertepstine: You must DO careful and
soy nothing. ksep quiet or we will get
into trouble. My wife is ready to swear
that was in the house until quarter
past that morning.n
Upon the strength OF this testimony
Trenwith was arrested by Chief OF Police
Moore. He had been much excited By
Hcrtenstina's arrest, and had been drink
ing heavily to keep mp his spirits. His re-
volver was found in the possession Annie
Z3l!Grs, domestic in the family OF /. M,
BucEwalter, the druggist. 1t is villain

Witnesses are being examined to com
plete the chain OF evidence, but there i,
enough already to warrant Trenwi,L
being bound over for court to answer for
the murder.

Proposition 10 4lttrr the Congress
stouai Isiii so az 80 Acquire $780,

The Board OF Trade committee COM
prising William D. Mullen, Jr., Colonel
Milo w. Lock@ AID George g.. Barker
appointed for the purpose Of taking IN
hand thu proposition OF having an in.
crease made in the appropriation for the
new Federal Building in this city, called
on Senator Higgins in regard TO ths ones
ton.
A member Of tho committee was seen
by GAZETTE Representative on Tuesday.
He said that the senator is quite In accord
with the committee upon the general
propositions upon which they suggest the
intended alterations ia the present bill.
As the question stands now Wilmington
has secured $50, 900 and is asking for en-
additional 800 900. 1t is proposed to
ask for $500, 900 instead OF 500, 900 SO
that total appropriation may be gained
Of $3.50, 900. In addition it lie proposed
to incorporate cause in the bill author
i6ing change OF location Of the new
building and also TO grant the power to
sell the present Federal Building and
apply the proceeds to the new one.
II is estimated that the post-offi.a
building would realize on sale about
920, 600.
The most recent street opinions upon
location Of the new building point to
Sixth and Market streets, the Delaware
bank; the northeast corner Of Seventh
and Market streets, the Beald building;
the northeast corner Of Eighth and
Market streets, the purchase OF which
property would include all the buildings
up to the Opera House; and the Hark-
ness Building site, including the Ebbitt
House and on Tenth street TO the old
foundry.
In regard to the last mentioned loca-
tion the member of the committee ex-
pressed himself as personally in favor of il
above any of the other sites. Tho two
public buildings, the county and the Fed
eral Offices would be together. BY rail
or by water coming mp the creek these
two buildings would loom up in view
and would sat the city off very effectively.
The open PARK grounds around the court
house would aid in the general effect.
Then as regards the widening Of Tenth
street that would naturally fall in with.
ont any expense TO the city. 1t would
undoubtedly be part OF the govern.
ment architects plans. The committee
man claimed that it would cost less tc
purchase than any OF the Other sites, the
only valuable building in the bunch
being that OF the Friendship Fire Gem

CAMDEN, N. j., Fob. IA warrant
was sworn cut here to-day by F. q.
Lippincott of this city for the arrest
of Mrs. Julia O. Lippinoott, the Atlantic
City hotel proprietress. who has gained
so much uo.oriety through her wholesale
swindling operations, charging her with
forgery.
No information could be obtained as to
the amount or nature OF the forgery.
Mrs. Lippipoott left her husband in Med
ford to-day, her destinat on being, it is
said, Philadalphis.
Suits were brought ut Mount Holly to-
day on three notes purporting to be
signed by Mrs l. pnincott's husband and
hsr sister, Mrs. HGines. The defence set
up is that the signatures are for terieH.
Mrs. HaineH is very much prostrated.
She says that, while she has never signed
her name to q mortgage or note, the de-
Tending OF the suits that will be brought
against her on papers TO which her
name has been forged will render her
pennilass.
Mrs. Lippincott, it is said, passed
through Philadelphia to day and pro-
ceeded south. She is supposed to be
either in Baltimore cs Washington.
