The Tax Books for Seventeen Wards Are
Ready for Collections.
The city assessors have placed in the City
Treasurer's hands the tax books for II wards
and collections thereon will begin to-day.
Notices will be sent out by the Treasurer s
clerks as rapidly as possible.
The assessors clerks have been working
hard since the Mayor signed the appropria-
tion ordinance Saturday morning, keeping
at it until midnight ,each day, including
Sunday and last night. The wards finished
are the first ten, the Twelfth, Fifteenth,
Seventeenth, Twenty-seventh, Thirty-third,
Thirty-fourth and Thirty-sixth.
The amount Of work performed can only
be appreciated by glance over the ward
books; two separate assessments, the city
and school millage must be gone over and
computed twice, making four times that
each amount is computed and checked over.
There are about 10000 separate and indi-
vidual assessments made this year, an in
crease of about 49, 900 over last year. AL
though about half the books have been COM
pleted the remaining half contains the
greater part of the work and the hardest to
do, so that they may not be finished until
the end of the week.

THE RIVER TO THE RESCUE

Tho Wells, Fargo Express Company Makes
q Contract With a Packet Line.
The Wells, Fargo Express Company is
now in better position TO look after its
business here than ever before. When it
was frozen out of the Pittsburg and West
eru road by the United States company, the
general opinion was it would have to
abolish its Office in Pittsburg. Yesterday
the company signed contract with the
Pittsburg and Cincinnati Packet Line to
use the boats to Wheeling. There the traf-
fic will be transferred to. the Wheeling and
Lake Erie road. This connection gives the
Wells, Fargo company number of new
points, and reaches Cleveland. The Wheel
ing and Lake Erie intersects the Nypano
road at Creston, which is the main line used
by the Wells, Fargo company.
Agent Johnston was very jubilant yester-
day. He said the new deal suited him very
we'll. The boats leave here late in the
afternoon, and are due in Wheeling early in
the morning About o'clock in the after
noon, over the Wheeling and Lake Erie,
the express matter will be in Cleveland.
making better time than over the Pittsburg
and Western road. After the boats leave in
the afternoon through business will be
shipped over the Lake Erie road up to 9:45
in the evening" The packet line touches at
Beaver, East liverpool, Steubenville and
other good towns. In this way new terri
tory is opened up to the Wells, Fargo The
company will begin shipping traffic to-day.

FOR FORTUNE TELLING.

Prominent East End People Subpoenaed
to Give Testimony.
This afternoon Mrs. Mary Crilley,, of 19
Frankstown avenue, East End, will have a
hearing before Judge Gripp on charge of
fortune telling. The information was made
week ago by Mrs. Nellie Spence, and the
arrest was made by Detectives Fitzgerald
and Sterck. AS the people given by Mrs.
Spence as witnesses are in many cases we'll
known and highly connected, the matter
was kept quiet The serving of subpoenas
caused considerable talk, and last night the
story got out, although the officers even
then denied any knowledge OF the suit.
The story, as gathered in the East
End, is that Mrs. Crilley has been telling
fortunes and acting as medium
for some time past She had a
large patronage, made up almost entirely of
women of the better class and did a flourish
ing business Mrs Spence lives at 10
Frankstown avenue and rents part of the
house to Mrs. Crilley. There were so many
visitors and so much talk that Mrs. Spence
became alarmed lest she should be called to
account; in addition to this the numerous
callers were an annoyance. For these
reasons she entered the suit and furnished
the list of witnesses made up from visitors
whose names she had learned. 1t is said
that this list includes several residents of
North Highland and another wealthy por-
tion of the East End,

The Coke Oven Ordinance Goes Throug
With Little Opposition.

The Coke Oven Ordinance Goes Through
With Little Opposition.
The ordinance regulating coke ovens was
called up in Common. Mr.. Mayee moved
to postpone until the next meeting, that
further consideration can be given to the
subject.
Mr.. Wright was opposed to postponement.
He submitted a photograph of Jones &
Laughlins' coke ovens in the Fourteenth
ward.
Mr.. Ferguson-These ovens are of an i'm
proved patterns, with high stacks that carry
the smoke and gas high into the air and do
less damage than an ordinary boiler smoke
stack.
Mr.. Flinn-The ordinance is practically
favor for Jones & Laughlins; they pay
S100, 900 year taxes; they use smoke con-
sumers. and they should be permitted to
build more.
Mr.. Magee-I am not asking for an un-
necessary delay. AS far as 1 can see, the
plan does no injury, but want an ordin-
ance drawn so closely that no other concern
can come i'll and build aplant that would
do injury. This ordinance opens the doors
for anyone 1t should be so drawn that no
firm could come in and work plant with
out the care and precaution now exercised
by Jones & Laughlins.
erection of any ovens except as approved by
the Chief of the Department Of Public
Safety. That is safeguard enough.
\ Mr. Ferguson-I take the same ground
Mr.. Wright-The firm Is waiting for per-
mission to increase its plant.
The motion to postpone was lost, and the
ordinance was passed in both branches.

CUT THE TIME SHORT:
Another Amendment to the Audit
Ordinance Which Will
PROBABLY BE IT'S DEATH BLOW.
To Extend Back Only Over the Books Of the
Past Four Years.
A SETBACK FOR THE ARMoRY SCHEME

The chances are that the auditing ordi-
nance will not pass the present Councils, in
the event of which it dies. After being
banged, battered and finally passed BY Com
mon Council, it was given what will proba-
bly, prove its death blow by Select yester-
day. An amendment in the period over
which the audit is to extend caused the bill
to be sent back for reprinting. As amended
| it will have to pass both branches at the
next meeting, which is the last one the
present Councils will hold.
When the ordinance was called up in
Select yesterday, Mr.. Heating offered an
amendment that the period of ten years
named in the ordinance be stricken out and
that February 1, 1882 be inserted instead,
thus limiting the time to the inception of
the city charter
DR.. Evans-Why do you desire to do
away with six years of the audit?
Matter for tho Controller Alone.
Mr.. Neutrality-suspicious. to the time named
the City Controller was solely accountable
for all the financial transactions of the
city as recorded in the books of
the various Offices. IF his books of
time the Controller ought to be put to the
expense of the audit and not the city.
The amendment was then adopted.
Mr.. Lambie offered another, providing
that "plurals" be made of the words speci-
flying "any office" and "any employe," and
also to change the word "any" to call. I"
This also was agreed to.
Mr.. Lambie-It has been argued in Com
mon Council that the Controller had no
right to make the audit. The charter act
shows that the Controller is specifically
charged with that duty and is'to proceed in
the manner prescribed by ordinance. 1t is
also his duty to say what books and forms
are to be used in keeping city accounts and
he is to audit them at least once year. The
ordinance of Common Council only empow-
ers him to employ experts.
Objected to the Short Limit.
Dr. Evans-Aliegheny City has found
irregularities in her accounts. and any busi-
ness man might find the same in a similar
course The time should not be limited to
but four years.
Mr.. Keating-In former years all the
sanctity in the State seemed to center in
Allegheny, while all the rottenness was at
tributed to Pittsburg, until there was so
much more found in Philadelphia Moth
ing was found wrong in Allegheny with
their books, but the practices of her
Market Clerk and Mayor were found
to be unlawful The individual
employees in the city might be proven to be
wrong according to the books, but the
probabilities are that the books would not
show it. An audit, so far as the books go,
would not show anything wrong in the
manner of conducting the affairs of the city
because of the system now in vogue. Pre-
vious to four years ago the Controller was
personally responsible for the system.
The ordinance then went back for print

SLASHED HIS FACE.
An intoxicated Colored Man Badly
Cut by a White Woman in a
DISTURBANCE ON FERRY STREET.
Three People Placed Under Arrest. Awaiting
the Result of His Injuries.
THE WOUNDS NOT LIKELY TO BE FATAL

Walter Butler, colored, had his face
slashed with razor yesterday afternoon un-
til he was scarcely recognizable. He is now
at the Homeopathic Hospital, where the
physicians say that his wounds, while of an
ugly nature, are not likely to be fatal.
Susie Parker, Annie st. Clair and George
Rose are in Central station, and will likely
be kept confined until the result of Butler s
injuries becomes certain.
About 6 o'clock last evening Susie Parker,
who lives in the Centennial building, No. 407
Ferry street, appeared at No. Patrol sta
tion and told wagonman Thomas Morley
that there was man at her house whom she
wanted removed. Morley went back to the
place with her and at the doorway found
Butler lying unconscious, with blood flowing
from four wounds on his head. There was
o cut on each cheek six inches long and two
on the back of the neck. The officer had
the injured man sent to the hospital, and
then began an investigation Of the case,
learning the story about as follows:
Butler is married to Annie St. Clair, a
white woman. The latter is employed as
chambermaid on river steamboat. Yes
terday afternoon she drew months salary
and her husband helped her spend the
greater part of the money, for whisky.
About o'clock, when both had become
considerably intoxicated, they went to No.
407 Ferry street and endeavorcd to get into
the house. Susie Parker was at the door
and refused them entrance. She also
chided Butler for getting his wife drunk
and bringing her there.
This started quarrel, and hot words
passed between the man and woman. At
this point George Rose, who was in the
house, came to the door and handed the
Parker woman a razor. She caught it
quickly, and in doing so broke off the handle
and cut her hand badly. She then jumped
at Butler and slashed him with the razor, as
stated above.
Buffers wounds are not considered neces-
sarily fatal. His principal trouble is the
loss of blood, as he lay bleeding for nearly
an hour in the doorway before an officer
was notified of the case.
