OF the Fourth Baptist church con-
gregated for the purpose Of re-
organizing Rev. Frank Harris
presided over the meeting, and af-
ter routine matter had been dis

Tom Taylor, one of the deacons,
arose and said that he had acted
as a committee to find out how the
church members Were conducting
themselves, and learned that more
than half of those enrolled as active
workers were living in adultery.
This aroused the wrath of Sister
White, as well as that of Pastor
Harris, and a few harsh words led
to combat, in which chairs, bibles,
hymn books, etc, We're freely used.
Tom Taylor thought he was getting
the worst of the "scrap" and Jump
ed up and pulled a revolver on FL
der Harris, and would, in all pro-
bilities, have killed him, had it not
been for the timely approach of
Brother Robinson, who grabbed
the weapon.
Taylor was in consequence ar
rested and placed in Jail. This
morning he was tried before the
recorder, and after the testimony
of 200 brothers and sisters had been
taken, Judge Shardein imposed a
fine of 500, and Taylor went back
to his cell to remain 100 days,
where he will have an opportunity
TO worship in dungeon.

more economic basis. not only for ths
present year but for the hscAl year

The economy practiced by the present
council is commendable. II has al
ready resolved to cut down expenses In
the sum of about 5000 per month and
the work of pruning has not yet been
completed.
Following is an interesting com.
parison of the amount appropriated fol
1899 and the extent to which the city
can be taxed for 1893: For 1899 the
assessed valuation of the city was
II, ,006, 992 with levy of 16l mills
making the taxation *3l, ,4G5. OF which
f3l 400 was appropriated for running
expenses for the city. For 1898 the
assessed valuation of the city is 81. 6ss
995 with levy of IL mills, making
the taxation or the amount availabl,
for running expenses for the fsca
year beginning June /, 1894. *a5. .335
a difference in city taxes of x6. .131,
big saving TO taxpayers and one tina
will he appreciated.
