A Lively Fight Over the Tax ilnl-SenntoT
Whitakor's Gallant Flght-A Refusal to
Extend the Session.
Special Di'p1tch 10 The intelliacRetr.
CHARLEsroN, w. Va, Feb. 2i.-Tho
hardest fight OF the session is over and
Mr.. Princes bill providing for an in.
crease OF five cents on the 500 valua.
ton for school purposes and a corro.
spending reduction for general pur-
poses will become law as soon as it
receives tho signature OF the governor.
Senator Whitaker made gallant fight
against it, but the odds were against
him. When the bill was called up, as
special order, ho moved that it be in.
definitely postponed. Col. St. Clair
opposed tho motion and said the bill
should bO disposed OF at once. The
session was rapidly nearing its close
and tho appropriation bill was still to
bc considered. This had occupied the
time oil the house about four days and
tho senate should not rush IL through
in five or elk hours. For his own part
he proposed TO satisfy himself as to
every item in the bill II it tool; week,
and was willing to tako tho responsible
ity for his action ia doing SO.
Mr. Parks opposed tho bill in speech
oi some length, lie said that on n %
cont levy Mt present estimates OF re-.
ccipta and Disbursements, there would
bo 2 deficit in the ueXt two years Of
S292 90 License aud other taxes will
reduce this some what, but not enough
to enable reduction as proposed in
tho bill Gen. Watts, in referring TO
Senator Wmtaker's opposition to tho
bill, said the Oniiro amount paid into
the irFedHetb|e school fund by Ohio
county from 1881 up 10 tho present ag-
gregalcd only $780, ,446.
This was not TO the discrodlt OF Ohio
county, but rather to It's credit, but II
did not seem from those figures that
tho people OF Ohio county wore paying
much Of the taxes for the education OF
the children OF other counties. IL had
been claimed that tho large appropria.
ton TO be made at tho present session
would not permit tho reduction pro-

A CRANK.
William @. Rippi was well known to
old timers in San Francisco, and was a
familiar figure around 1920 Powell
street, where he made his home. Every
body knew him and considered him
harmless. At one time he was worth
over 100000 and made about $4,000
on Comstock. lie came to San Fran
cisco and began gambling in stocks.
His money soon began to go and then
he opened cash grocery store on
Fourth street. That venture failed and
about tour years ago he was running a
bar and dining room on the steamer
Margarrettt which plies between San
Francisco and Stockton, On his person
was found letter addressed to the
examiner, which read as follows:
"Food for Reflection. Paid one hun

THE WAR IS ON.

Introduction of Non-Union Mon May
Cause Further Trouble.
CHlcAao, Feb. 24.-Anew feature was
interjectcd into the strike OF the switch
tenders OF the Chicago & Western In
diana railroad at an early hour this
morning, when train load OF non
union men from st. Louis reached tho
Dearborn station and were put to work
at once. In the station some Of tho
train men claim to have recognized
among the newcomers men who be-
longed on the Burlington during the
great strike there. The presence OF
these men brought out much feeling
and the expressions OF many mon were
bitter in the extreme. The result may
be that all orders OF railway men may
refuse to work in conjunction with the
non-union men.
