RAILWAY TAX VALUES.
The Lehigh Valley Gets Iedu ctions
But Will Pay the City Rate.

The last meeting of the Commission
ers of Appeal In Cases of Taxation, to
act ON the tax assessments for 1892 was
held last night. The only property acted
on was that owned by railroad corpora
lions.
Early in the winter, Counsellor W. H.
Corbin prepared a petition On behalf Of
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company aud
submitted it to the the Commissioners.
He said that the company had the year
before taken the same matter to the
State Bonrd of Assessors and had OBJ
tanned the reductions asked for, but that
In SO doing the city only received one per
cent. of the valuations instead OF 2.Sf per
cent. which it was entitled to. Mr.. Cor
bin said the company desired the city to
rece, W I'LL that it " a, entitled TO and that If
the Commissioners of Appeal woulu place
an equitable valuation On the railroad
property, the company would not appeal
to the State Board.
The Commissioners consulted Corpora
ton Counsel Edwards and also excellent
engineering authority Il after o careful
study OF the property made the following
decisions
Block 1,502. lot E, at the Morris Canal and
| New York Bay, assessed $4,000. Last year the
State Board reduced this amount to $3,0J0. This
valuation was adopted by the Board Of Appeal.
Block 1870, lots S and 6. at the Morris Canal
and New Jersey Central Railroad, assessed ST.
00 each. Last year the State Board reduced
them S. 600, and the Commissioners last n light
| accepted that valuation.
| York Bay, assessed S25o,01o, reduced last year
By the State Board $4,000, reduced by the
Commissioners Of Appeal $4,000.

the wealthy sportsmcn of Atlantic County have
subscribed toward the purchase Of a large
humber of quails, to be liberated In the woods

to the severe cold weather and deep snowstorms
OF last winter but few quails survived, and 1t
was thought best by the lovers of this Sport to
purchase a number of quaiIs and pair them off.
As they will mate aud hatch one brood, it is
thought the game will become plentiful by the

We do not know that we could pre-
sent anything more interesting to the
great body Of our readcrs than the 'ol-
lowing from the New Orleans .StoteS:
"As usual at this time Of the season,
the greatest diversity OF opinion exists
as to the probable cotton crop. OF
course, no one looks for q nine-million
bale Weld, such as was experienced two
wears ago, and again yield as small as
that of last year is not expected. The
crop will, therefore, be between these
two extremes, but the difference BE-
tween 6,GG0,0 900 and 0,OO0,0oO bales Is SO
great as to leave q wide margin for eS-
Inmates. .,
OF course. on the size OF the cropwill
depend very largely the probable course
of prices. tive taEc official info"ma-
tion furnished by the government as
the safest guide, we would have toex-
meet rather a small than a large crop.
Thus the acreage estimate showed but
a small increase over last year. while
the monthly percentages OF condition
have been the worst in years. The re-
norris from Texas have for some time
been d :scouruying; but on the Other
hand. the reports from some OF the
States of the Mississippi River are
quite hattering.
Until within the past few days. the
financial troubles have told serlously y
orainst cotton. 1t was feared that the
money troubles would cause forced sell
ing by the South, and the consumptive
capacity was resisted bythc stoppage OF
so large number OF the New England
mills. owing to the money pressure.
Foreign buyers have held oil in the
hope Of buying cheaper, because OF the
financial pressure in this country.
During the past few days there has
been Il decided improvement in the out
look. however. In the first pIacc,it hils
not been SO difficult to secure money Il
move the crop as had been expected
Again, the prospect or the repeal OF the
Sherman law and a prompt return Q

BUILT a RAILROAD ON FAITH.
The Plucky Texan who Built the Arkansas
Pass Road Did Good Financiering.

The Plucky Texan Who Built the Arkansas
Pass Road Did Good Financiering.
From South Texas came man who
built six hundred miles Of railroad with
a five-dollar bill and faith, and the bill
was a borrowed one. He moved up from
Corpus Christi to San Antonio with all
of his POSSESSIONS heaped on a two
wheeled cart, according to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. He got a charter to
build railroad from San Antonio to
Arkansas Pass. he graded mile of 1t,
throwing great deal more than one
shovel of dirt with his own hands. The
receiver of another road loaned this in
defatigable builder enough old rails
for mile of track. In distant part OF
the state was purchased an old engine
which had been condemned six years
before and sent to the shops to be
wrecked for scrap iron. Two old cars
were picked up somewhere else at
bargain. And that old engine, drawing
those old cars, steamed into San An
tonic. On engine and cars In bold let
ters were painted in lamp-black: "S. A.
and A. p" With one mile Of old rail
track and with the equipment OF the
old engine and two old cars Uriah Lott
started the Arkansas Pass system. There
has been some tall financiering in the
history Of railroad building in this coun-
try, but there isn't anything which for
dazzling pluck quite approaches the
story of the building Of this six hun
dred miles of road in South Texas. To
the one mile of track three were added
three miles by dicker for some sec
ond-hand rails which street car COM
pany had bought from narrow guage
company. On this basis credit was
made with Pennsylvania rolling mill
for ten miles of rails. When they ar
rived there wasn't money enough in the
treasury to pay the freight. But it was
got somehow. Ten miles Of track gave
foundation for bonds which built forty
miles more, and so the system grew into
its present proportions. This man who
built the Arkansas Passsystem rode from
San Antonio to Chicago at one critical
period in his enterprise without cent
in his pocket. lie had transportation,
but he hadn't anything to buy food, and
he went through hungry.

a TROUBLESOME RIVER.
Destruction caused by the Yellow River
OF China.

OF Nnluas
The st. Petersburg Gazette referring
TO the latest inundation of the Yellow
river in northern China, which will
again bring a population Of more than
n million upon the point OF starvation
points out that these freduent or peri
odical calamities are the work of man
rather than Of nature. Many centuries
ago the Chinese interfercd 30 much with
the stream as to compel Il to change
rs course and dig D new bed for itself
But this bed the current has never
grown truly accustomed to. IL will de-
uosit its immense qualtitiesOf sediment
carried down from the mountains in the
most unsuitable localities, forming
shadows and barriers which, when an
unusually large mass OF water rolls
down, win overflow and break through
its dykes and inundate the fertile
grounds along the river bed So 1t has
been for centuries past, and the living
generations are experiencing again and
again that the sins of the fathers are
being visited with most terrible cruelty
upon remote descendants. 1t is doubt
full whether the river could be turned
back into it's old bed, lying 2ry at pres
ent. But. II il could, the old bed ha'
heen changed 50 much in the course o.
centuries TINT even there. IN its old

WARDEN BROWN REMOVED.
The Result of Some Pretty Hard Stories
Concerning His Career.

SING SING, April 29.-Superintendent
Lathrop has removed Warden Brown of
Sing Sing penitentiary. This action was
taken yesterday. The superintendent
came to the prison in the afternoon and at
once notified the warden to cease acting
as agent and warden. Principal Keeper
Connaughton was placed in charge. He
will be in full control of the prison and
act as warden until Warden Durston ar
rives.
It is understood here, though Superin-
tendent Lathrop would not admit it, that
the removal of Mr.. Brown was the result
of a story published in one of the New
York papers. Mr.. Brown contradicts
the story which represents him as going
on drunken debauches in which he
made himself a terror of all who crossed
his path. He says that it is untrue that
the wild scenes depicted as having oc-
CURED in Tarrytown took place, and that
the people at the hotel will bear him out
in this statement. He denies that he
was in the habit of waving revolvers and
Winchester rifles under the noses of his
guests, or that he did any glass breaking
or revolver fourishing while in the hotel
at Tarrytown. Superintendent Lathrop
left for New York this evening.
The search for Pallister and Rohle,
the escaped murderers, continues. The
prison authorities profess to be confident
that they will be taken,
