a Chnrge nf UsnrY.

CHICAGO, December 27.-Allison, ,Schaffer
& Co., railroad contractors, of New York,
who have the contract for elevating the
railway, borrowed about 100000 from the
Western National bank, of New York.
Last month the bank began suit to recover
the amount. The defendants have entered
plea of usury, setting forth that the bank,
besides charging the legal six per cent, ex-
acting bonus of twenty per cent for
making the loan contrary to the laws of
the state Of New York, thus rendering its
notes void. Notwithstanding this the bank
proceeded to sell, and bought for the ridicu-
lous sum Of $4,000 the securities put up as
collateral to the amount of 81 200 900. They
ask that the notes be cancelled and the Sc
curities returned.

MRS. ANNIE BESANT.
The Noted Lady Who is to Lecture
Tomorrow Night.
A sketch of a Remarkable woman
Prom England and Some of HEer
Good Works as a RefOrmer.

Good Works as "a RefOrmer.
Mrs. Annie Besant's maiden name was
Wood and she was born in England of
Irish parents. Her father was in Chicago
recently as amember ofthe English worlds
fair commission. Her grandfather enjoys
the edistinctioni in history ofhaving paid the
debts Of the Duke of Kent, thereby permit
ting him and his wife to return to Eng
land in time for Queen Victoria to be born
in that country. Lord Hathaway, lord
chancellor of England, was her cousin.
She married a minister, the brother of
Walter Besant, the novelist, who dislikes
her and who accents the last syllable of
his name because she accents the first of
hers. Mrs. Besants married life was un-
happy. She. had three lovely children,
two Of wnom, a son and a daughter, are
grown and married, while the third is
dead. In 1874 she was legally separated
from her husband at her own suit, on the
ground of cruelty, and was denied the GUS
tody Of her children on the ground that
she was an atheist. The children did not
share her husbands views and as soon as
they reached their majority returned to
her roof and have lived with her ever since.
Mrs. Besants public career as a reformer,
iconocast, agitator and philanthropist be-
gan with her separation from her husband.
She was born altruist, and was no sooner
thrown on her own resources than she
plunged into the work of relieving the
wants and sOTrOws of the poor in the east
end of London. The accounts given of
the elf-denying labors for the poor women
and match girls of that locality almost
pass belief. She was known among them
simply as Annie and addressed famil-
larly by that name on all occasions. She
was their organizer, their sympathizer and
counselor and it is solemnly asserted that
at one time she denied herself necessary
food to feed them. 1t is said that so great
was the attachment of the poor for her that
she could visit localities in London with
safety into which the armed police would
not venture, and that she could dlspel
mob with her presence and voice, that had
dehed the whole municipal force.
When she abandoned Christianity she
became materialisU. IL was while writ
ing a review Of Madame Blavatsky's "Se-
cret Doctrine" for " illiam Stead, she was
Unexpectedly converted to the system her
self and became from that time Blavatsky's
apt and humble disciple to whom the
great teacher when dying bequeathed the
mysterious linger-ring, which she had re.
ceiyed from her own great teacher in the
east.
Mrs. Besant's history is summed up as
member of the church of England atheist,
pantheist, socialist, editor, essayist, educa-
tor, labor organizer, humanitarian and
theosophist. She has heart that enfolds
all humanity and mind that flies from
one "ism" to another in a search after truth.
She is one of the most wonderful women of
the age. G. L. H.

STREET GRADE TAX.
A Re-Assessment Ordered by the
City Council.
The city Assessor Will be Required
TO go over the GrOunds Again
and settle Disputes for the city
Fathers.

There was full meeting of the city coun-
Gil this morning to consider the question of
street grade assessments and other busi-
ness that might arise.
Mayor O'Brien and Councilmen Abbott,
MeBratney, Phipps, and Talcott were
in attendance. The matter of grade
assessments was taken up, and upon the
recommendation of City Attorney Linn
they were referred to the city assessor for
reassessment. The streets upon which new
assessments will be made are:
Mills street, from Standish street to West
Fourth street.
Grant avenue, from West Fourth to Mid
way avenue.
At previous meeting the assessment on
the following streets was approved, but
this morning that action was reconsidered,
and they we're referred to the assessor for
reassessment:
Fremont from Chestnut street to $50 feet
west of Chestnut street.
Eighth street from Jefferson to Central.
Washington street from Union TO Fif-
teenth.
Jackson avenue from Rogers avenue TO
Sherman avenue.
The clerk was directed to prepare an
assessment list for the graveling of Thir-
teenth street from Main street to Adams
for a readjustment of the same, and the
city assessor was directed to make reas-
sessment Of the property. The first as
sessment was declared null and void.
A QUESTION OF DAMAGES.
Talking about the street grade assess
ments today City Assessor Robert f. Whit
ham said; "In making the assessments
visited all the streets and examined all the
property in person. Werever I found that
lots enjoyed the full benefit of the improve
ment l assessed them accordingly. Of
course a difference was made in the ratio
of assessment where the lots varied in
width. After several days deliberatiOn
decided that it was no part Of my duty to
assess damages to property, as has been
claimed. The question, in my mind, for
me to determine was whether the lot or lots
had been benefited or not. 1 assessed the
benefits and left the question of claims for
damages to the individual owners. Then
if the council did not feel satisfied with my
rating it had the power to make such read
justments as were deemed necessary under
the circumstances" ."

the Assassination --- How the
Bodies Appeared.
Special to The Tribune.
SNoHoMIsH, December 27.-The two lads,
Robinson and Livingston, are lying in the
county Jail for the murder of Farmer
George Shoultes and Farmer Fred Schmidt.
The farmers were shot dead by the two
young men three miles east of Dubuque
last Thursday afternoon. They were buried
in Woodlawn cemetery at 5 pm. Health
Officer Limerick held an autopsy on the
bodies in the forenoon, disclosing thereby
some new facts in the affair. Three balls
were found to have entered Shoultes' body.
The first entered the back, passing through
and out of the front of the chest. The sec
ond entered at the breastbone, coming out
at the back, just above the hips The third
entered the left leg.
Four bullets entered Schmidts body.
any one Of which would have proved fatal.
All the shots took effect in the heart. The
first was from the front through the breast,
the second from behind and through the
back, and another from side to side from
one armpit to the other. Two wounds
we're found on Schmidts left arm, and the
autopsy showed that the heart was nearly
shot away. Several bullets found in the
bodies of the two victims proved that the
guns were forty-eight caliber Winchester
rifles. The supposition is advanced that
Shoultes turned around suddenly after re-
ceiving the first shot, thus accounting for
his being hit both from the front and rear
The bodies were found at schoolhouse
mile from the scene of the shooting,
neighbors having removed them for safety,
though the corpse lay on the ground as
they fell all Thursday night, guarded by
Deputies Knowles and Lindsay. The lat
ter stated that the bodies were twenty feet
apart when first found. Shoultes was in a
sitting. posture, leaning against the branch
OF fallen tree, while Schmidt was lying
upon his face. According to the best testi-
mony Mrs. Helena Kuntz, a sister of
Shoultes, was the first person to arrive on
the scene. She states that her brother and
Schmidt started together with their axes to
cut away some trees that the elder Robin
son had felled across the road and a few
minutes after their departure she heard
rapid firing in the direction Schmidt and
Shoultes had gone, and she at once started
to learn the cause. She followed their
tracks in the snow until she came upon
the hfeless bodies of Shoultes and Schmidt. !
She also stated that when the two men
left the house Schmidt walked a few yards
ahead of Shoultes, and that when she
found the bodies the relative positions |
were not changed. There was a double
track in the snow to where Shoultes' body
was lying, and single one from there to
Schmidt's remains. No signs of a scuff1e |
appeared, and it is thought that Schmidt
and Shoultes did not know who fired upon
them, and that the murdCrers were in am I
bush and fired from the rear. Both
Shoultes and Schmidt were unmarried.

1t is Said That Baron Reinach
Was Poisoned,


Much About the Panama RusI-

teriOusIy Disappeared
PARIS, December 27.-Figaro processes
tC have information to the effect that Dr..
Brouradel, who had charge of the post
mortem examination of the body of Baron
Reinach, has reported to the government
that Reinach died of poison taken eight
hours before his death and that Reinach's
family have demaEded judicial inquiry to
establish the fact that he did not commit
suicide. The belief that he was murdered
is based on the known fact that within the
time between the taking Of the poison into
his stomach and death, ho made strenuous
efforts to stop the attacks of the press and
seemed much cast down when he found it
impossible to do so. 1t argues that he
would not have cared particularly about
the attacks, had he been conscious of the
fact he would be a corpse within a few
hours. The fact has called to mind that
two others, who possessed damaging
knowledge have also disappeared mysteri-
ously and suddenly. It is well known that
these deaths we're a great relief to certain
persons.
