Somebody's Stray Pigeon Found.

y dsHIIIStOn POSt.
About o'clock yesterday Rufus De-
laney, a messenger in the census bureau,
was startled by pretty young carrier
pigeon lighting on his shoulder. The
blue tinted bird seemed afraid, and re-
fused to leave its perch. Taking the
bird in his hand Delaney examined it
and found on the left leg little gold
band on which was cut the inscription,
'x17,6S7" The singular appearance of
the pigeon cannot be accounted for, as
all of the doors and windows were shut
fast, and there was no possible entrance
open to it at that time. 1t is thought to
have flown into the building at another
time, when the doors were open or the
windows hOisted.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
KcKinley's Merciless Tax OF
Wooden Goods.

KcKinley's Merciless Tax on
Wooden Goods.
Philadelphia Record.
There is, however, in the whole his
tory of protectionist spoliation nothing
so barbarous as the schedule of wooden
duties in the Mckinley tariff. The men
who have put a tax Of upward of 100
per cent on the poor mans blanket and
the poor woman's shawl and the cloth
ing of children were without bowels.
Their extreme desire to conciliate the
political influence of the Ohio sheep
growers and of the wooden manufac-
turerS got the better of their humanity
and good sense, There was an old law
of England which provided that every
person after death should be buried IN
a WOODEN shroud, in order to encourage
the manufacture of woolens. More bar
barous and unreasonable than that an
Gent law, the Mckinley act, by its mer-
CHESS taxes on woolens. discourages the
wearing of them by the living.

are that the grain market will continue
unsettled for some time, and as the

furnish its share of excitement.

Speculation VS.. Gambling.

Chicago News
The statesmen who are trying to pro-
hibit grain and stock gambling by act
of congress are now strictly on the de-
fensive. Their plausible arguments on
! the evils of boards of trade have been
neatly punctured by clear-headed bus
mess men who are able to give reasons
for believing the anti-optionists to be
grieyously in error.

Overshoot the Mark.

The protest calls attention to the fact
that the Hatch or Washburn bill. if

purchase from the farmer by limiting
the ability of the first buyer to find a
market in which to sell; and that both
bills overshoot the mark in aiming a
blow at gambling.

"These books" Mr.. Biggs said, ex-
hibiting them to the representative OF
THE GAZETTE, "are the only reliable
records in this Office. Look at them
he added, "you will not find single
scratch from cover to cover"
This was perfectly true for not a
single erasure could be found in any OF
the books.
Mr.. Jolls has an idea in this connec-
ton of q unitication of basis of county
and city assessment so fer as the two
Wilmington city districts are concerned.
Of course if this could be consummated
it would open the way, as he believes to
large saving of money to the tax-pay-
ers. 1t is understood that the idea is of
ascertaining an assessment of city prop
erty which shall be the standard for
taxation for any or ali purposes whether
for the county levy or for city taxation.
Whatever the county rate is it may be
levied and the city rate it in turn may
be levied independently according to its
percentage.
AS an instance in point of the ex-
IRENE intricacy and difficulties of the
existing system of property taxation
accounts, John N. Carswell of the
Farmers Bank who is book keeper for
County Treasurer Dickey has been
within the last day or two unsuccessful
in obtaining information from the
county duplicates in regard to prop
erty transfer in which he is personally
interested. This fact was cited yester-
day by a Republican Levy Courtman as
an Illustration of the difficulties of the
present system.
LEVY COURT NOTES,
Among the most frequent vouchers
for applicants for assessment are some
of the younger members of the letter
carriers force.
Among the applicants TO be placed
upon the assessment list Tuesday many
were found already on the books. A
large share Of them were negroes.
Levy Court met yesterday morn
ing and Immediately proceeded with the
business of adding names. This con-
tinued without intermission all the fore
noon. Between so and 60 names were
added this forenoon.
Copies of the Third district assess
ment, those of Assessor Whann, were
hung out for inspection yesterday at
the following places Sixth ward, John
F. Bradley, Eleventh and French;
Seventh, John L. Malone, Delaware

The other books are not ready yet.
They are in constant use by the court

offered, and the Third district was
finished first.

Dead in Prices Run.

Samuel PARKER, au Aged Negro, tounu
Dead i'm Prices Run.
Samuel Parker, an aged colored man,
was found dead in Prices Run, about
one-fourih of a mile from the toll-gate
on the Philadelphia turnpike, at 10
o'clock, q. M, yesterday. The body was
partially submerged in water, while the
garments of the negro were covered
with mud. The head of the deceased
was badly cut and bruised and the hair
matted with gore.
An examination of the injuries dis
closed the facts that the wounds pene
trated almost TO the skull. Besides, the
neck was broken.
The finding of the body created sem
sation among the colored population of
the neighborhood. The report was at
once circulated that the negro was muir
dered. Word was sent to Coroner Sparks
in this city, and accompanied by Deputy
Coroner Giles he went to the spot where
the body was found.
The body was discovered by Jacob
Lenderman, who lives close by the toll
gate on the Philadelphia turnpike. He
was fishing in Prices run, when he
came across the gruesome object in the
middle of the stream. lie notified his
neighbors of the CHASTITY find and in
short time score OF more of people
were Fastening to the banks of the
creek to view the body.
A search instituted about the bank of
the run failed to reveal anything that
would explain the cause of the mans
death. The general belief seemed to be
that Parker had been murdered. Some,
hewever, were Of the impression that in
crossing the run the negro missed his
footing and fell in and broke his neck
The deceased was about 81 years old
and member of the Grand Army of the
Republic. He had been working for
Edward Wilson II farmer living not far
from the toll-gate, and was last seen
there yesterday morning. He promised
to return at p. m, and as he had not
put in Jan appearance Mr.. Wilson last
evening instituted search for him. His
efforts proved futile, as Parker could
not be found.
1t was stated yesterday that Parker
was seen Tuesday afternoon and had
been drinking, but how he met his death
no one knows. His son, Jacob Parker,
who is employed at livery stable on
Shipley street, above Eighth, stated that
the deceased promised 10 come to his
house Tuesday to assist him in moving.
On his failure to appear he had gone
out in search of him without success.
Deceased was an old slave and
character well-known in Brandywine
Village for number of years. The re-
mains were removed 10 the morgue by
Deputy-coroner Giles.
