appropriated toward building the subway.
Then there is 5000 worth of material
which has already been purchased for
subway purposes and a portion ofthe street
and alley fund could be used. The mayor
said that if the subway could be built now
it would give employment to a great many
men who need 1t and need it now. He
thought the work should be done evea If
some of the general appropriation fund
had to be used
Councilman Bond thought the price
was too high.
The mayor stated, however, that the
amount named was only the estimate, and
that the work could be let to the lowest
bidder. In fact the city would not he

rAKLNG

The lsst Michigan legislature under the
belief that ii was doing the state a bene
ut, passed a law taxing MORTGAGES. 1t
passed a law similar io the California ole,
providing that the mortgage should pay
a tax on the property on which be held a
mortgage, proporticnate to the extent OF
his interest therei4. The men with mort
cages on their farms were told that they
had been relieved OF a part of their
taxes, vnich had been shifted to the
grasping money lender. and they were
daily impressed by the loving kindness OF
the members of the legislature. The Chi
cago Tribune has gwen the matter con-
siderable attention and says:
In a few months a new assessment
is to be made under this law, and some
ugly questions are beginning to arise.
The act provides that, if property is
mortgaged for a half or a quarter Of It's
value, the MORTGAGE must pay a half or
a quarter of the tax, and that if he fails
to do so the mortgsgor nav pay the
amount aud withhold it from the interest.
But the existing mortgages contain no
clause permitting that to be done. 1t is
not 10 the contract. which stipulates for
the payment of a fixed amount of inter-
est at specified times. So far as the old
mortgages are concerned the law is In
constitutional, and the courts will so hold.
The Michigen farmers are beginning to
find out that they will do so. and they do
not think as highly of their Legislature as
they did.
And those who thought that when the
law went into force they could have the
use of another mans money at the old
rate while he paid the taxes on it will
find soon that they were mistaken. The
savings banks of Michigan. which gather
up the small accumulations OF poor people
and loan them out on land, are con-
sultinR as to what they shall do. They
are so hampered by various state laws
tina they may be unable to protect them
selves against this last piece OF unfriendly
legislation and may have to seek invest
ments in other states for the money they
are practically forbidden to loan in
Michigan.
There will be other lenders, 80 that
M~ichiganders who must borrow can be
accommodated. But they will have to
pay a higher rate of interest than a year
ago. They will either have to pay enough
more to cover all possible taxes the lender
may be called up to pay. or they will
rave to stand a shave from the head of
the note. Iu any event they will be losers,
and so, too. will those economic, hard
working ]citizeus OF Michigan who have
saved up a little money and wish to lend
1t out to their n~eighbors, either directly
or through tn, agency o! a bank"
The question is a pertinent one in this
state as a similar law Is on the Statute
book although it is more honored in the
breach than the ohscrcance.

THE BOMB TlIRowEE.
The Head Identified rs tim, of the BostOl
Note broker.

Note Broker.
BosroS, Dec. 13.-Saturday's develop.
nients have confirmed tho sensational
news made public Friday, when tho
venerable father and mother OF Note
Broker Henry l.. Norcross, OF this city,
identified the fragments Of the clothing
Of the mysterious bomb throwerin New
York, as the remains OF their son. A
photograph OF the dead mans head was
shown to Il great number Of his friends,
and all but two or three identified 1t as
tho head OF tho missing broker.
II there was tho smallest ray OF hopo
that Norcross was still alive IL Is raasoIl-
able to suppose that his father and
mother would be the first to cling TO It,
oven in tho faco OF un overwhelming
mass Of coniirmatory proof, But the
grief.strickcn father saidthis afternoon:
1T was my sou. without doubt. There
is no hope. II it was my son who threw
that bomb it is well that he was blown
to pieces"
40 CLUE AS TO S%oRcRoss's MOTIVE.
There is, however, no clue TO tho mo-
tive which impellcd him TO commit the
net which resulted in his humiliation,
the death OF another person and the in
jury OF many men,. Norcross must have
become crazy in IL night, for on Thurs
day week he was as sane, apparently, as
anybody. lie was not even eccentric.
On that day he said he was going to
Providence on business, and those who
saw him in the morning are positive
that he was in his usual condition of
health, both OF mind and body.
Since he has been in business for him
self ho has had plenty Of spare time.
The youngman was trcasuring aschcmc,
it Is said, to patent something connected
with Il horse or elevated railroad, and
was OF late continually talking us TO how
he should raise tho necessary money to
push the invention through. On this
latter point Il classmate OF Norcross,
Wilton l.. Farnhmn, said to-day:
ut was hoped that some letter or TX.
PLANTATION OF the deed might be found in
the dead brokers' office. To-day his
father opened the door with a brass key.

OF Russell Sage, but have heard him re-
peatedly talk about elevated railroad
schemes. Indeed, he has shown me ut
least half a dozen different plans and
patent papers. lie used to say that
some day he would be q rich man
through his elevated railroad scheme.
All he wanted was TO get some big capt.

TO follow. never heard him speak Of
