They Fulnn Campaign Promises by Rsfus-.
ing to Levy Taxes to Pay Bonds.
KANSAS CITY, May s.-Thsre Ii trouble,
In the execution OF recent judgments in the
bond cases against cass and st. Clair eoun.
ties. The Judges Of each county an-'
nounced their discrimination to 20 10 Jail
rather than order tax on the people. Theirs
are two Judgments against ST. Clair county,
aggregating over 800. 900.
When Deputy Marshal Oechsly served
the papers on the judges yesterday. they told
him that they would never order tax; that
they had been elected under promise to the
people never to levy tax for the payment
Of these bonds, and not only were they in.
disposed to do IL, but were afraid to. The
condition Of affairs in Cass county il even
more desperate. Judgment was rendered
some time ago in favor Of Albert Parker, .
capitalist Of San Diego, CAL, for about
$100, 900. A mandamus ordering Q levy Of
taxes was granted by the Court and disre-
gzrded. The three gentlemen were arrested
and gave bonds in the sum Of 81, 900. They
say that nothing will compel them to take
the obnoxious steps, and that if necessary
they will 20 to Jail. The bonds are railroad
bonds voted by the counties about 20 years
ago.

ductor, Charles Foard, was seriously If not
fatally injured. A Jesuit priest Of Garden
River had a leg broken, and several passen-
gers were badly injured.
The cause of the accident was the spread
ing of the track. The engine and ten for
ward coaches passed over the rails before
the wreck occurred. Five doctors from
this city were summoned and took care Of
the 20 or more injured passengers. The oc-
cupants Of the wrecked cars were immedi-

CALLED HIM A LIAR.
A VERY SPICY EXCHANGE OF coM1LI.
MENTs IN THE HOUSE.

Debate on the BIll-to Prohibit Liquor Sell
ing on Decoration Day Draws Them
out-Mr johnson Says That Captain
Magnin Is Liar.
1Roh STAFF coRREsPoNDExT.l
HARRISBURG, May S.-There was very
lively exchange Of compliments in the
House this afternoon over the bill to pro-
hibit the sale Of liquor on Decoration Day.
MIR. johnson, of Luzerne, opposed the bill,
saving that 1t was reflection upon the old
soldiers. Although the department en-
campment at Altoona had adopted resolu-
ton asking for the passage Of the bill, there
was division of opinion in the organiza-
tion. The sentiment. was by no means
unanimous in Its favor. He had been q
member OF the committee on resolutions at
the Altoona encampment and knew what he
was talking about.
Captain Magnin. of Delaware, denied
that any one had right to say that the
resolution did not r, fleet the sentiments of
the Grand Army and hoped the House
would not be Influenced by the statement Of
one whose mind had been so befuddled that
he was not qualified to say how the Altoona
committee on resolutions really felt on the
question.
Mr.. johnson promptly stated that any
one who said that his mind was beIuddled
at Altoona was "a liar and the truth was
not in him." Captain Magnin retorted
that he was willing to place his demeanor
during the present session alongside of that
of Mr.. johnson and let the House Judge
between them. The Speaker called both the
honorable gentlemen to order.
Mr.. Gentner said that as a member of the
Grand Army he would move to postpone the
bill indefinitely, and Mr.. Lemon, OF ALLIE
gheny, seconded the motion, whereupon, Mr..
Kennedy, as q member of the Grand Army,
seconded by Mr.. Crbbs, in the same
capacity, moved to lay the motion on the
table. Mr.. Morrison made the point of order
that none of the gentlemen had any right to
make motions as members of the Grand
Army, but the Speaker did not sustain 1t.
The yeas and nays were called and the
motion was laid on the table by vote Of So
to 65. The bill then passed second reading.

The Speed of That Yankee Meteor.

Professor II. A. Newton, of Yale, writes
the following letter with regard to the
great and wonderfully brilliant meteor
which was seen here in Hartford:
The brilliant meteor that you describe
in your issue of Feb. "a, and which was
heard to explode with tremendous noise
in many places in Maine, appears to have
been moving northward. nearly over
Portland, Me-, perhaps from as far south
as Boston, and to have disappeared some
miles above the surface of the earth over
the middle or northern parts of Franklin
county, Me. So far as known no stones
have been secured from the meteor. If
this is the true path, the body entered
the air with tremendous velocity.
The earth was at that time moving
eighteen miles second directly toward
the point from which the meteor was
coming. According to accepted theories,
the meteor was moving faster than the
earth, and the stone entered the air with
the sum of the two velocities. This
makes velocity of more than forty
miles second. In most Of the cases
where stones have been secured the We
locities have been not more than twenty
miles a second. In one instance, how
ever, in Stanhem, Moravia, there were
secured large number of stones from
meteor whose velocity was as great as
that of the meteor of Feb. 23-Hartford
Courant.

General Boulanser in New York.

Don't be startled if I tell you secret.
General Boulanger, the deposed head of
a retrograde movement, is in New York
So, at least, Frenchman tells me who
claims to have called upon the general
at his secluded lodgings on the east side
My informant asserts that Boulanger has
shaved his face clean and is desirous of
remaining unknown in the metropolis
until his country calls him. In this case
his residence here is likely to be a long
one.
There is a strong probability that my
Gallo friend has given me ''a straight
tip" in this matter. Boulanger took a
fancy to New York when he was here at
the time of the Yorktown celebration.
He likes the life of a large city, and has
been bored on the Isle of Jersey. Lon
don did not treat him well and Paris is
denied him. What is more natural than
that he should come to New York-the
refuge of so many soiled Foreigners

Chaaoes in New York.

"Only fancy" said stately and
charming representative of one of New
York's Oldest families at dinner, 'twhen
Twas a young girl in New York I knew
personally every one who kept a car
riage." This seemed almost incredible,
as the speaker did not seem much past
middle age herself, although, of course,
the time to which she referred had to be
left politely to su1mise. "And now, y
she went on, "most of my intimates do
not keep horses at all; in fact I may say
that nowadays do not know any of the
people who do keep carriages. Quite an
inverse ratio, is it not?" she concluded
with laugh and sigh. When one
considers the vast size of New York and
the countless number of handsome
equipages that crowd Fifth avenue and
Central park, it seems odd that one indi-
vidual could have noted personally SO
many changes in the conditions of the
citizens of this great metropois.-New

The Old Home of Jesse James.

The Libby Prison war museum is soon
to have an acquisition Of curious char
acter. It is the identical frame house in
which Jesse James lived the last four
months of his life, and in which he was
killed by Bob Ford. Since 1882 this
house has stood unoccupied on a bluff
back of St. Joseph, Mo. The bullethole
in the wall is still to be seen and the
blood stains on the floor have never been
effaced. The house was sold to the
agent of the Chicago museum for the
sum of 81 300, and it is to be taken down
in sections, removed hence and set up
again in the big building in Wabash
avenue.
An equally interesting relic would be,
we think, the old James house still stand
ing near Liberty, Clay county. And il
old Mother James is still living she
should be engaged to come along and
serve as a ''guide" or illustrator.
The old lady, when we last saw her
nine years ago, was full of fight and en-
ergy, and it would be hard to find {
handsomer woman than she was.-Chi
