A Statement From Morrison.
Treasurer-elect John Morrison said yester-
day that there is absolutely no grounds for
the charges made against him by Senator
Rutan.
II do not even know who are the candi-
dates for delegates to the State convention, ="
he said. II am taking absolutely no part
in Allegheny politics, and don't know what
my brother is doing. Lam not accountable
for his actions and do not know
whether or not he was running as delegate
for Holman and Gray. The intimation
that 1 gave instructions to the State de-
positories for any political purpose has no
foundation at all do not know anything
about the bill he speaks of, and do not
know what he refers to in that part of his
interview.
81 have always been afraid of Senator
Rutan and made one of my hardest political
lights when running as a delegate tor him
when he was opposed by Senator Neeb.
Mr.. Rutan should not forget that when he
first ran for the Senate, was a candidate
myself and withdrew in his interest. was
chairman of the convention that nominated
him and have always been friend
ly to him. He aided me to be
appointed Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, but do not think he deserves
the entire credit. l do not understand why
Mr.. Rutan attacks me, for he certainly has
no cause to do so. am sorry to have to
reply to what he SAYS, but his intimations
are so strong that / think it is necessary"
Mr.. Morrison will move his family to
near Philadelphia in about a week. He
will then be able to 60 home more fire.
quently than if living in Allegheny county.
He will return to his home at Bellevue as
soon as mis- term as State Treasurer expires.

TIN IN MEXICO.

Superintendent Adsit Says the Method OF
Extracting the Metal Is Too Expensive.
Silas Adsit, of Durango, registered at the
Monongahela House yesterday. He is
superintendent of the Pittsburg'and Mexi-
can Tin Mining Company, and expects to
spend week here before he returns.
Mr.. Adsit said they are 225 miles
from railroad, but C. P. Huntington
expects to have the international system
extended to Durango by next September
This will bring them within 100 miles of
the iron horse. At present the tin COM
pany is not doing much above the ground
1t takes 50 to buy $50 pounds Of corn, and it
costs more to feed the cattle than the men,
The rate for transporting 800 pounds, which
is considered a wagon load, is IS. Under
the circumstances the tin company is oper-
ating under the surface, but little is being
done above ground.
Mr.. Adsit thinks the tin deposit is ex-
tensive, though he admits the business is
speculative TO a certain extent. Their
method of extracting the tin is expensive.
Too much of the metal is lost in the Stag.
The company has ordered new machinery to
correct this evil. They shipped $4,000
pounds of tin last wear, and Mr.. Adsit
claims they were the first company to send
a carload of tin into the States from MeIi-
can soil.
Mr.. Adsit laughed when asked about
Garza He says he never heard Of the out
law in Mexico, but read about the fellow in
the American papers. He thinks the al
legged revolution exists only in the minds of
the reporters

HUNGAR1ANs BADLY SLAsHED.
They Use Knives Very Freely in a Hand-to-
Hand Encounter.

Early yesterday morning Louis Graso-
liski, Hungarian, appeared at the Twenty
eighth ward station in condition that indi-
Gated that he had been seriously handled.
Grasoliski had a cut on his nose, one on his
wrist and another in the side, all Of which
were bleeding very freely. To the police
Grasoliski reported that at 1890 o'clock, as
he was passing along the Welsh road on his
way home, he was attacked by three men,
and his condition was the result of the en-
counter. He could give but little informa-
tion as to the assault or his assailants, and
was positive that the purpose Of the attack
ing party was not for robbery.
Acting Inspector Kelly and Captain
Stewart started to work on the case at once,
and after some Investigation they discov-
cred another man named Martin Benedict,
who lives Oh Josephine street, had also been
in the assault and had cut on his face that
extended from his nose three inches along
the left cheek. Benedict's version of the
cutting was somewhat different from that
told by the first man. Benedict stated that
there was a party of five men together and
they got into fight, during which the cut
ting was done. Both the men were very ret
icent, and would give the police but little
information. The officers made still fur
ther Investigation of the matter. and are OF
the opinion that the row occurred in some
boarding house and the parties are keeping
the matter quiet for fear OF further trouble.

tions for rural and agricultural property
must be allowed as the assessors reported
1t in the several wards.
''The argument made by Major Negley in
The DISPATCH against the assessors clas-
sifcation rule is a good one. The classifca-
tion OF large residence grounds as built
up property because it fronts on q street
that has gas lamps, water pipe and an oc-
casional visit from policeman is as absurd
as the general proposition to divide man g
proserty into lots and assess them in the
autocratic way the assessors have indicated.
The whole question OF classification is one
of use. Take house built upon lot
whicn is used only in connection with it,
for outbuildlngs or similar purposes. that
should say is built up or full taxable.
Property Which Is Rural.
'Take the other extreme-s tract used for
garden, nursery, dairy, pasture or other
agricultural purposes is undoubtedly to be
classed as agricultural. Between these two
comes the rural, and it should not be diff
cult to distinguish. A large residence prop
erty, used only for the pleasure, comfort or
convenience of the occupants for Aower
garden, lawn or an establishment to the
residence, no matter whether it fronts on a
street with city facilities or mud
road, it is rural property and should be so
assessed. I know of instances where prop
erty that has been used for agricultural pur-
poses and could not be used or sold for
other purposes, has been taxed at considers
bly, more than it yielded. Under this rule
part of it will be assessed even higher,
rated as built up, full taxable property
"This same property was assessed at
81, 900 an acre three years ago, but when the
matt er was called to the attention of the
courts the valuation was reduced to $500 an
acre for taxable purposes. The same thing
will be done again, in spite OF all the rules
the assessors may adopt Instead of pay
ing so much attention to hoisting property
values it would be better for our city
officials to pay more to keeping down ex-
penses. If they would only do that the
taxes would be so low that we would not
have these disputes and appeals to court for
fair play"

And She Had a Regular Physician 10 Feel
His Pulse and Give Him Medicine.
While Patti was at the Duquesne her
favorite dog was sick, but the canine did
not lack for the best medical attention. The
diva has outlined for him daily bill OF
fare which is rigidly followed. One day
Jip gets sweetbreads, on the next calves
brains, then mutton chops and SO on down
through the scale of meat delicacies. A
physician called on the dog regularly, and
administered to him pills and physic as he
required it.
Singers, as a rule, have not the most
equable tempers, but the servants around
the hotel give Patti a fair send-off She
was in very bad humor when she arrived,
but the train was FIVE hours late, and most
anybody is liable to be irritated under such
circumstances. She telegraphed that she
wanted the temperature of her room to be
600, but her arrival was so uncertain that it
was hard to maintain this degree Of heat.
However, Patti didn't get mad and take a
run on Smithfeld street, as Nine Lehman
did few years ago, when she gave Mana
ger Locke foot race on Liberty avenue.

Dragged Into the Cable Vault

John Whittier, a young man from Law
renceville, had very narrow escape from
being killed at the Citizens Traction Com
pany's car shed at East Liberty yesterday
afternoon. About O'Clock Whittier started
through the car shed from Penn avenue. A
car was just leaving the examining vault,
and the young man was running hard to
catch it. In doing this he overlooked the
opening between the tracks leading to the
vault, and fell headlong into the vault He
struck the cable and was carried along a
the revolving pulleys. The young man was
badly shaken up, his head and hands were
cut in several places, and his clothes ruined.
He was removed to his home OH Butler

Talk OF A HITCH IN THE DEAL
b. = o. People Wonder Why tho r. . W.
Has Not Been Transferred.

b. = o. People Wonder why the r. . ".
Has Not Been Transferred. 1.
The impression is growing among local
railroad men that there is some hitch in the
deal about the transfer of the Pittsburg and
Western road to the B. & o. Nobody out
side of a few of the leading officials of the
B. & O. know anything about the plans Of
the company for the future. March was
the time fixed for the B. g. o. to take
possession, but from all outward appearances
this has not occurred. When Second
Vice President Thomas NJ. King was here a
week ago he said he was not sure about the
date when the transfer would be made. He
had read the papers, but couldn't remem-
ber the time fixed. Scarcely anything has
been done to improve the Pittsburg and
Western, and the Baltimore and Ohio peo-
pie who know anything about the road say
it can't be put into shape for fast trains be-
fore next fall
A Baltimore and Ohio man said yester-
day: II am puzzled about the Pittsburg
and Western deal We are all in the dark
and none Of the local officials on either road
know anything about it. I don't think
the purchase has been annulled, but am
convinced from what hear and see that
there is hitch somewhere. I understand
that the Drexel, Morgan syndicate will con-
troll the road until May 1, when the FIVE
year contract with then will expire. They
started in to wreck the line, and almost
succeeded in doing it. 1t may be possible
that the Pittsburg and Western people
can't deliver the goods at present, but I
hardly think it is true. Superintendent
Patton says he can make 60 miles an hour
on the road, but I wouldn't like to be on the
froIn Tho hodi IN
There are patches of first class track but the
entire line needs to be ballasted. The frost
won't be out OF the ground for another
month, and it may be that the B. & O. peo-
pie are waiting until that occurs before they
begin their improvements. 1t was their in
tention to greatly improve the road. I
don't expect to see through trains run by
way of Pittsburg until next fall, and
that is early enough"
