MINNEAPOLIS, June 8. 1892. The story
in regard to the interview between Elisha
b. GaddIs of Newark. and William Muir
rell, the colored alternate-at-large, who
disputes his right to occupy the seat of
Delegate John 7. Blair in the National
Convention, has been modified. Yester-
day it was asserted by Murrell, that
apgered at the probability of an adverse
decision by the Committee on Credentials,
Gsddis had shouted to him:-"Pve bought

Gaddis that Gaddis does not possess of
Newark, which by the way is but small

and keeping them company are innumer-

is the deed for the old homestead
of the late Judge McGregor, one of
the finest mansions in the city. All these
things does Mr.. Gaddis possess, but his
greatest treasure. the goose that lays the
golden egg, is the warm friendship OF
General William j. Sewell. For many
years this treasure has belonged to Mr..

GOOD WORK PROMISED.


With the extension Of sine granted
them the local Commissioners Intend re-
vealing to the public in general the fac6
that at least two or three millions Of peF-
sonal tax known to be held in ehis city
has escaped taxation altoaether, The adj
dition of three millions OF personal tax
will bring the figure up to ten millions,
and even this amount Is considered rittic-
ulously low for the aknount Of personal
property owned by residents OF S9is city.
The addition of these three nasiiiuns tothe
tax levy. however, will in measure
lessen the burdens OF the real estate tax
payers.
The falling off of tax ON personality in
the Fifth district puzzles Commissioner
Gorman but this year the arauunt OF per-
sonal property taxed in that dfSSEfot WILL
greatly exceed S490, $50. There Will be an
equalization of personal tax b.ffie various
districts this year that will be surprise
to everyone.
Personal taxation should figure az
conspicuously in our levy as real estate. =
said one of the Commissioners yesterday,
land we intend making it so. An iu1us-
for years whereby personal Dropefty
owners profited. We will remedy this
evil"
SCHOOL RATE LOWER
The tax levied upon the city and county
for the maintenance of the free public
schools is an important factor in the levy
ing of assessments. This year the
amount levied upon Hudson county is
S409, ,572. 81. Jersey City will meet Its
share of this tax, and. with the assistance
of the County Board for the Equalization
of Taxes, Jersey City's county and school
rate will probably be decreased.
The County Board OF Appeals will raeet
in the Court House from July 10 to July
30 inclusive. Lively times are looked
forward to by the Commissioners.

TITUsvILLE, Fla, Oct. 23.-There is
intense excitement here over q conflict
between whites and negroes, which be-
gan yesterday. Nearly every white
man IN town is armed and the popu-
lace is nervously awaiting a threatened
attack by riot OF furious blacks, one of
whose number was killed last night. A
sherln's posse sent out at noon today
TO arrest the ring leader of the negroes
in last nights shooting affair was re-
sisted and fired upon. The posse es-
capped with few scratches, but the
negro ring leader was killed and four
others injured.
The governor of Florida has tele-
graphed for military assistance and
Sanford has offered help, but the cool
heads here believe that the crisis has
passed. The white citizens are watch
ful, but the supply of rifles ls rather
deficient. The negroes are well armed
and are IN camp about one male from
town. The c3roner's inquest was held
today on the body of the negro killed
last night. The verdict rendered was.
KILLED while resisting an officer by a
shot fired by some unknown person. ="
