THE ADVICE OF HENSEL.
PROFITLESS MERCANTILE TAX SUITS
NOT TO BE BROUGHT.
Reference to the Local Law Governing Such
suits in Allegheny County-Philadelphia
Is Rather Expensive Delinquent
Crooked Appraisers Should Be Prose-

Su1ts in Allegheny yCounty-Phlladelph
Is Rather Expensive Delinquent
Crooked Appraisers Should Be Prose-
cuted.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
HARRISBURG, Aug. Attorney Gener-
al Hensel's letter of advice to Auditor Cen
eral McCamant has been made public, and
is in line with the latter's communication to
City Treasurer Wright, of Philadelphia, in
reference to the collection of delinquent
mercantile taxes. In this connection the
Attorney General says:
The costs in suits for uncollectible mer-
camille taxes in the city of Philadelphia
constitute about 90 per cent of the entire
expenses of the Commonwealth of this char
acter; whereas, the total collections from
the city of Philadelphia bear proportion
of only 80 to 40 per cent of the entire revenue
of the Commonwealth from like sources
This discrepancy can only be obtained by
the existence OF system especially devised
to multiply these suits and increase the costs.
OF its practical portions, the letter of the
Treasurer of Philadelphia gives fragrant
examples.
For the prevention in Allegheny county
of the abuses which have so manifestly pre-
vailed in Philadelphia, local act was
passed March II, 1870, the eighth section of
which reads as follows:
"In all cases when upon Investigation, the
Treasurer shall be satisfied that certain
mercantile taxes cannot be collected by
process of law, he shall make out a list OF
mercantile licenses, giving in detail names
and residences, and return them to the Aud
itor General under oath OF affirmation, stat
ing that said licenses, in his Judgment. can
not be collected by process OF law, and it
would be waste of the State funds to make
costs thereupon. If the Auditor General is
satisfied of the honesty and truth of said
statement, he shall direct the Treasurer to
be exonerated for said delinquent mercan-
tile licenses"
1t is true that no such provisions of the
law applies to other parts of the State but
considering the reason of the law which re-
Quires these suits to be brought, and from
the very nature of things, it is wholly unrea-
sonable and improper to insist upon such a
literal enforcement of the law and utter dis
regard of its spirit, to annually impose
upon the Commonwealth an expense of
from 900 to $4,000 without any return
whatever.
lam clearly of the opinion, therefore, that
in the city of Philadelphia it is your right
and your duty to advise and instruct the
City Treasurer not to bring suits against de-
linquents, when he can procure and present
to you satisfactory evidence that no moneys
can possibly be recovered upon judgments
against them.
The Attorney General closed by suggest
ing that the methods of the mercantile ap
pra1sers be investigated and that if any
crookedness is discovered criminal pros-
ecutions should follow.

SOMETHING WILL DROP IN DENVER,
Strikers Make Threats at a Meeting Held
in Omaha.

OMAHA, Aug There is practically no
change in the strike situation in any of the
trades, but at a meeting of the smelter en-
ployes the threat was made that unless the
company came to terms soon there would
be trouble in the Denver branch of the in
stitution. John Quinn, one of the agitators,
in speech to the workmen, said they would
hear something drop in Denver in a few
days.
''They persisted in calling this strike, I"
he said, "but it is not strike, it is lock-
will just let them have one in good earnest.
1 am now in correspondence with some of
the labor organizations in Denver, and T
promise you the Omaha and Grant Smelling
Company will hear something drop prettT
soon if this lockout continues in Omaha. -
This statement was received with cheers.

BridgeyilIe Nav Quit,

A rumcr is current to the effect that the
Bridgeville team will drop out of the County
League next week. The team has only two
more games to play on the home grounds
this season, and Manager Mayer claims that
sufficient money to pay expenses VIII not be
taken in. There is also little feeling be-
tween Manager Mayer and the East End
Gyms relative to a postponed game, which
ought to be played at Bridgeville between
the teams. If the Bridgeville team drops
out the County League will likely collapse.

CRAZED BY THE BIG FLOOD.
A Young Man Becomes Raving Maniac
From Brooding Over Losses.

From Brooding Over Losses.
JoHNsTowN, Aug. Lee Rankin is raw
ing maniac to-day as the result of continued
brooding over the great flood. He is young
man, and at the time of the flood lived at
No. II Market street, where he was actively
engaged in business, and was considered a
bright-minded young man. He was caught
in the rush of waters, and after fearful e1-
perience, rescued.
The day after the flood he refused to speak
for hours, and sat as one benumbed. Finally
he was cheered up somewhat, and his rela-
tives begged him to try and forget the many
friends he had lost in the flood. He seemed
to recover, and went to working at the car
penter trade. ALI these months, however,
he evidently had but one thing on his mind,
and used to sit silent and apart. To-day he
suddenly became raving insane, and does
nothing but talk incoherently of the flood.
His mind is hopelessly gone, and he will be
taken to the asylum.
