LEAGUE
Citizens of POcatellO Call a
Mass Meeting.
No Bidding for Lots Occupied by Residents
Strangers Warned Not TO Bid for them
Trouble Would Result

PocATELLo, Idaho, July 11.-rSpecial
telegram to THE HERALD. IAN impromptu
mass meeting, attended by over 500 of our
citizens, was held tonight at the opera
house for the purpose of forming protec-
tive association, apropos to the sale of town
lots, which commences Monday. 1t was
unanimously agreed that an order that all
classes. rich and poor, might obtain the lots
on which their homes are built, or on which
TO build homes, some united effort must
be made to keep outsiders, as well at citi-
zens who may have some petty grievances
against another from bidding and becom-
ing purchasers, the property rightfully be-
longing to those who have made this city
their home. To this end it was stipulated
that all citizens pay TO the association 2 per
cent. of the cost Of the 10 IS, to be used as a
contingent fund. All those agreeing to
this would be protected from other parties
bidding on property now picked out.
Messrs. Hannaford, EicheIherg and Ben
nett were appointed a COMMITTEES to make
entries of lots picked out, show strangers
what property has already been chosen and
on the quiet to warn them from bidding on
the same, as serious trouble might result:
1t is not the idea of the association TO keep
outsiders from purchasing, as can be read
lily seen in the necessity for outside capital,
but merely TO keep from purchasing prop
erty for which monopolies could afford to
pay a much higher price than poor but
deserving parties entitled to it.
The meeting was harmonious throughout
but no deviation will be made from the
protective agreement and mutual under
standing to attend to the cases of any who
come here representing combinations or
monopolists

An Engineers Heroic Deed.

Especial 10 THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]
CONCORD, N. H, July 11.-As freight
train was going west from Pittsfeld, on
the Sun Cook Valley road Thursday after
noon, Charles j. Hutchins, the engineer,
saw q short distance ahead little child on
the track. Realizing it was impossible to
stop the train before reaching the child, he
quickly went forward to the pilot hoping to
grasp and rescue the little one. A sudden
lurch of the locomotive caused him to fall
on the track but the pilot fortunately threw
him from the road As the train was now
moving slowly he succeeded in getting
upon one Of the cars. While this was hap
pening the engine knocked down and
passed over the child who, when discovered
by the engineer unner the moving train,
was attempting TO crawl out between the
wheels. Hutchins hanging to the side of
the car, reached through the track frame
and caught the child and, holding it safely,
was dragged by the train until it was
stopped. The engineer was somewhat
bruised but the child was unhurt.

TO KILL SHIPS.
Collecting "Light Money" From
Foreign Built Vessels.
Americans Who Own Them Must Pay Fifty
Cents Ton on Their Capacity Every Time
They Enter an American Port.

[Specialto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch1
New YORK, July u.-Collector Erhardt
received orders from Washington yester-
day. tie enforcement of which will make
yachting an expensive pleasure to Amerf-
can owners of foreign built yachts. 1t
will also make foreign built merchant YES
sells very Improbable piece Of property
for an American citizen to own. OF late
the law has not been enforced to the letter
and has not attracted the notice of ship
owners as it will during the next few
weeks. The law, which is brief, is this:
"Foreign built vessels owned by American
citizens are subject 10 duty Of 80 cents
per registered ton every time they enter q
port of the United States"
This duty is called slight money" and is
used In the maintenance of lighthouses
along the coast of the United States. The
duty is additional to the tonnage duty i'm
posed on any cargo the vessel may carry.
A short time ago Fred w. Vanderbilt
brought to this port steam yacht, the
Conqueror, which he purchased in Europe.
The yacht registered $50 tons, and Mr..
Vanderbilt was asked to pay Sl93 to the
collector Of customs. He objected 70 this
on the plea that his vessel was intended
for pleasure use only. Collector Erherdt
sent the protest to Washington and asked
for Instructions. Shipping Commissioners
Bates answered, saying the collector must
collect the money.
One man was in a lot Of trouble over the
order. He owned Norwegian built bark
which he bought at Uuited States marshal
fee sale. He is an American citizen and
sails the bark under the American flag. He
intended to use the bark in domestic trade.
The bark registers 600 tons, and as she ar
rived at this port yesterday ne was called
upon to pay $500 slight money" He in
tended to send the bark from here to New
Orleans and would have to pay $500 more
there and every time his bark entered a
port of the United States.
In the case of Fred Vanderbilt, he would
have to pay to the customs officials the sum
of 1898 at every port he entered, be 1t one
every day in the week. If he should sail
from New York to-day and drop anchor in
Newport harbor to- morrow, he would have
TO pay Sl93 there, and if he should come
back to New York next day another Sl93
would have to be paid here. This makes
cruising in foreign built yacht pretty
expensive pleasure even for Vanderbilt.
The Pacific Mail Steamer company, it Is
said, will be seriously affected by the new
law. Two big steamers are being built in
England, and as soon as they are out In
commission, the company will have to pay
slight money" on them every time they
enter this port
Deputy Collector Couch said that all for
eign built vessels owned by others than
citizens of the United States were exempt
from the ruling of this law. A prominent
shipping merchant said this law would
seem to be q tax on American citizenship.
1t was unfortunate for the owner of one
or more foreign built vessels to be citi-
zen of the United States.

Nicolay spanked and Dismissed.

PHILADELPHIA. July 1.-THE Times this
morning publishes an editorial addressed
to John G.. Nicoiay, under the caption
Spanked and Dismissed" 1t is, in part:
Had you known anything about inside
political movements in the White House in
1864, you wonld have known that my letter
to Lincoln, quoted in your defense, was
written because Of the suddenly developed
effort in this state to divide the lines drawn
by the then bitter Cameron and Curtain
fractional war for and against Lincoln.
Cameron'S followers claimed TO be special
supporters of Lincoln, and attempted to
drive Curtain and the state administration
into hostility to the President.
"My Justly assumed devotion to Curtain
was a pretext for declaring me as either
RESTRAINED in my support of Lincoln, or
likely TO be in opposition. The moment
saw the statement in print, I wrote the
letter you quote to dismiss from Lincoln,s
mind all apprehension ABOUT either open or
passive opposition from Curtains friends
Equally. indeed even more fiagrantly,
false is your statement of only minor
truths about the action OF the PennsyI-
vania delegation at Baltimore in 1864. You
say Cameron cast the solid vote Of the
delegation for Johnson before the close Of
the first ballot.
Had you sought truth as an honest
biographer, you could have obtained it
without offensive disputation, not only
from me as far as knew it, but from such
living witnesses as Charles a. Dana and
Murat Halstead and from the recorded tes-
timony Of General Cameron, Colonel For
ney and others who knew much of Lincoln
and but little of you.
Instead of seeking truth you flung your
ignorance and egotism with ostentatious
indecency upon the bereaved household of
brought to bsy by those better informed
than yourself, you resent in the tone and
terms of a ward wheeler in toe wharf-rat
district, battling for constabulary honors.
Il think it safe to say the public judg-
ment will be that it would be well for both
Lincoln's memory and for the country had
such q biographer been drowned when e
pup Dismissed. A. K. Nh
