HUNTING THEIR BOY.

George Wolfs Friends Thought He and
John Ellis Were the Same Person
disappointed Again-The Lad Disap-
peared Mysteriously Three Years Ago.
Over three years ago George Wolf left
his home in Jeanette. Since then his
parents have made an untiring search, but
their boy is still missing.
Yesterday a man named Kiefer called at
the Allegheny Department of Public
Safety. He was half brother of the miss
ing boy. Kiefer had a photograph of q
handsome young fellow who was just reach
ing his maj ority, although he looked several
years younger. A mass of light colored
hair covered his head and hung in ringlets
over a high, handsome forehead. Kiefer
himself is rather handsome fellow be-
tween 25 and 30. but worry Is aging him fast.
The picture was that OF George Wolf,
taken soon before he left the parental roof.
Kiefer thought that possibly John Ellis, the
Young man who lost his reason by reading
dime novels, and his half brother were the
same Even to find his brother a maniac
would have been relief to Kiefer. He
showed the picture TO Detective Steel and
CAPTAIN Agnew. They at once told him that
it and Ellis bore no resemblance. This
seemed hard on Mr.. Kiefer. He said: 81
had hoped to find him at last. noticed that
Ellis SAID he was from Westmoreland coun-
tv and this made me stronger in the belief
that it was my brother. The boys mind was
never as sound as it might have BEEN
and there was plenty of room for
the belief that he might go the
same road as young Ellis. George Wolf lett
home over three years ago. l cannot tell
you the reason; have several ideas, but 1
am not sure that they are the cause. Since
then have hunted him everywhere. / have
travelled all over the country looking for
him. Several times we received word that
he was dead, but the reports were untrue. 1
will now have to go home and tell the folks,
as have done often in the past three years.

John Ellis is still at Dixmont The West
moreland County Commissioners were at
Allegheny police headquarters Saturday
night, and intended to go dowr to the asy-

fore Magistrate Leslie yesterday morning on

corner of Forty-eighth and Hatfield streets,

his 3-year-old daughter was play
ing in the room where Holman was;
that Holman became annoyed at the chfld's
pranks and caug ghr her up and set her down
on a hot stoveI burning her about the legs
in an extremely painful manner Fred Bur-
back, an uncle of the child, and Fred
Krugher, boarder in the house, corrobora-
ted Burbach's testimony. Holman was
given 80 days to the workhouse, and in the
meantime an Information will be made

QUITE A NUMBER SIGNED THE PLEDGE

There was another great outpouring Of

the large vestibule was crowded with men
and women waiting for the doors to open.
The line extended out on Fifth avenue and
interfered with traffic. Ten minutes after
the locks were turned the house from the
pit to the gallery was packed, and all who
came afterward went back home An
audience larger than the one inside couldn't
get in at all.
The temperance orator was never in bet
ter voice or form. He never made a more
eloqneut address, and at Its conclusion

HIGH WATER EXPECTED.

Bright Prospects for Lively Times Along
the River From the Heavy Rains.
The heavy rain Of last night was the first
real heavy water fall for the past four
months. Reports indicate that it was pretty
general. The prospects for lively times
along the rivers are good and a big rise is
expected to-day. Some of the lighter pack
cts have been running but there has not
been enough water to justify the opening of
the season in earnest. With the coming of
the rise barge water is earnestly expected.
This will make business brisk and allow
the river operators to get out good deal of
their coal. The price in the lower market is
bright and the one vino gets his coal out
first will make the big money of the season.

about his county assessments. He as
sessed the hop-tield improvements uni
tormIy at SO an acre, and while he did
not consider this high, he considered it
fair.
The board wanted to know more about
this, and by questioning the Supervisors
ascertained that $40 an acre would only
supply the poles. They never talked about
orchards, which were assessed at $40 an
acre uniformly on the trees.
Personal PROPERTY ROLL.
Then MIR. Irvine got into hot water
again. The equaliZers turned to the per-
sonal property roll and called attention
TO the decrease.
Your figures show that you have
S400, 900 worth of new personal property
since last year," said Mr.. Morehouse,
'and at the same time total decrease of
over 5000, 900 is shown on the roll"
That makes difference, you see, of a
million dollars" added Mr.. Hebron.
Mr.. Irvine and the Supervisors ex-
planned at length that live stock is only
worth. half what it was last year; that
several business houses had gone out of
business taking away their stocks, one OF
these houses (the huntington Hopkins
Company causing a decrease in the roll
OF S9O,UOO. They pointed out a number of
other causes for the shrinkage, which
partially satisfied the board.
Ihe State Board wanted to know about
tne assessment OF telephones. The Super
Vlsors were reminded that they had cut
down the valuation of the Sunset Com
pany's boxes from 800 to S25, while last
year they were assessed at SO each.
Chairman Greer explained that it was
OH the sworn statement of the company
that 1t was not getting any dividends,
and that SIS was the valuation put on the
boxes in other counties.
The equalizers scolded the Sacrament
tans for this. They declared that the
telephone companies were making mill
ions, and that in other counties the as
sessments ran all the way from $50 to $500
box. They assured the Supervisors
that II they would look up their bills
they would see that the county pays the
telephone company about 500 year for
each telephone it uses, and they wanted
TO know how the Supervisors could then
value the boxes at S25.
The inquiry closed with general dis
cussion Of the tax roll. Senator +. K.
Dray gave the board some points on the
value of real estate in Sacramento and
showed, by the valuation placed by the
Assessor on his property, that realty
| was assessed now for all it could stand,
and raise would be hardship upon
property-owners.
At the conclusion the equalizers told
the Sacramentans not to get frightened
that the mere fact that they had been
summoned before them did not necessa-
rily mean a raise. They had found some
discrepancies in Irvine's roll, and wanted
| an explanation. They would consider
the matter later on, they said, and decide
What was just, raise or no raise.
