The Old POstcfhce Site Not LIKELY to
Return the Amount Expended.
The advertisement for the sale of the old
postoffice site, at the corner of York and
Abercorn streets, has started people to spec
ulating on the price the property will bring.
The government paid S35 900 for the site
and spent in the neighborhood Of SIS, 900 in
laying the foundation for the proposed pub
lie building This brings the total outlay
up to about $50, 600.
It is hardly probable. though, in
the opinion Of real estate
men, that the government will
realize anything like what it laid out on
the property. ut is only fit,n said one,
for the building Of a block Of residences,
and the foundations there are no good for
such purpose. No one buying it for such
a purpose could afford to give even S35, COO
for II.
The impression seems to be that 500, 900
would be fair price for the property. It
is understood that Capt Purse has his eye
upon it as an available site for the talked OF
auditorium, and ia trying to arrange for
the purchase Of the tract.

Tho Heaviest Days Deposits Since tn
Work Begen.
Over $3.50 900 in Central railroad securi.
ties were transferred yesterday and depos-
tied at the Southern Bank. This is the
largest amount of deposits received any day
since they began under the reorganization
plan.
Two clerks were kept busy all day trans
ferring securities to the Mercantile Trust
Company of New York, and Vice Presia
dent Crane of the Southern Bauk had his
hands full Issuing receipts for the constant
stream of stocks and dehentures that kept
flowing into his Office. Very large deposits
came in during the last few days of last
week, but the above, as stated. is the largest
single days receipts yet recorded.
The report Of the Southwestern commit
tee which was expected last night by the
Nancy Hanks, failed to arrive for some
reason AID will probably come down to-
night. The published statements in re =
gard to that report, which is said to be in
thorough harmony with the reorganization
plan, have very nearly set ell doubt at
rest, and lts appearance will no doubt COM
plete that work Mr.. Conner has heard
from DR.. Baxter, president of the South
western, that the report was as favorable
as could be desired, and under the oiroum-
stances there will be little doubt as to its
adoption and Endorsement by the meeting
Of the stockholders. Thus the publication
OF che report will no doubt be as effcacious
in Fastening the deposits Of securities as If
the stockholders meeting had been held.
An order was passed and signed IN the
supreme court yesterday allowing the trus-
tees Of the Villalonga estate to transfer
100 shares Of Central railroad stock and de-
posit them for entrance into the reorganiza-
ton plan.

THE SUIT DID NOT HOLD.

The Merchants and Miners Co. Not
Responsible in the Laz2rd Case.
The city court of Baltimore has decided
that the Merchants and Miners Transports-
ton Company will not have to honor the
bills of lGding issued by its former agent
here, w. E. Guerard, to Charles Green's
Son & Go. for cotton which the firm did
not deliver to the steamship company.
The decision is very important one It
viii be remembered that just before the
Green house failed 1t secured from Mr..
Guerard, es is had often done before, bills
OF lading for certain cotton which Mr.. Green
was to deliver to the Baltimore line. Mr..
Green did not deliver the cotton, but he sold
the bills of ladIpg to Hollins & Co. Of New
York, who in turn drew drafts
on Mr.. Green, attached them to
the bills Of lading and sold some of them TO
Alexander Lszard and others.
OF course when Mr.. Green failed tue
drafts were worthless, and Lazard and
those who purchased the bills Of lading
came back at tine Merchants snd Miners
company for redress. They sued the.steam-
ship company for the cotton represented by
the bills Of lading Fearing that his COM
peny would be held responsible for his mis-
take, Mr.. Guerard turned over all his Drop
erty, amounting to about Sl3 900 TO Presi-
dent Appold TO secure it.
When the case was tried in Baltimore a
day or two ago the jury, under instructions
of the court. returned a verdict in favor
OF the Merchants and Miners' COM
pany, the judge holding that the com
pAuy could not be held responsible for the
act Of its agent in giving bills of ladiug for
goods he never received, as the company
had given him no right TO do SO, and the
matter was an individual transaction to
which the company could not be made a
party.

supreme court, but the impression prevails
in Baltimore that the judgment of the lower
court will be affirmed

WANT TAXES REDUCED.

The Street Railroads Think Their As
sessments TOO High.
The street railroads are kicking about
their taxes. The officers of the roads, it is
said, think the assessment on their property
is too high, and movement is on foot for
combination appeal to the assessment
committee and the council for a reduction
President Collins of the Electric Rail-
way Company was asked about the matter
yesterday, aud he admitted that steps to-
ward JOINT petition Of the roads for a re-
duction Of taxation would be taken shortly.
The railroads are taxed like everybody
else, II per cent. ad vRlorem, and IL has
been the opinion Of those in position to
know that their assessments have bsen
very reasonable. The matter will probably
take shape in the next few days.

was witnessed by an audience that packed

ence. The cast was good throughout, the
voices were all good and the chorus excel
lent
Miss Edith Mason was Serena the
'Pasha's" daughter. Her voice is very
sweet and sympathetic aud grows upon the

Queen of Altars" ere fully equal to the
roles sustained. Miss Fairbanks opportu-
mites were not such as to afford proper
estimate Of her vocal powers, but sufficient
to attest the possession of a mezzo soprano
voice. Miss Gaillard, also mezzo soprano
pleased the audience with a charmiugly
rendered solo.
Mr.. Thomas H. Persse, the "Terauo.n

this company.

swttchman Murphy's Fatal Step In
Front of a Locomotive.
Michael Murphy, switohman at the Boil

night by Pusher No. 2 while attending to
his duties
Murphy noticed from the switch house
when he lowered the gates between and 9

tinguished and be went out to relight it.
As he turned to 60 back to his post after
Lighting the lamp he saw a pusher ap-
preaching him on the track on which he
was walking, and he stepped across TO an
other track 20 get out of the way.
10 was a fatal mistake. He stepped
directly IN front OF Pusher No. 2 which
was coming behind, and the next moment
he was struck in the back by the footboard.
and was hurled about fifteen feet. Engi-
neer Eden stopped his pusher at once, and
hastened to the injured man.
Murphy was conscious when the engineer
reached him, but his back was broken and
he realized that he only had a short time
TO live. Murphy asked to be taken TO his
home, and help was secured and he was
carried TO the Coast Line depot until the
police ambulance could be sent for. Dr.
Charlton was alEo summoned, and at once
pronounced the injuries fatal. The physi-
clan, however, applied remedies to lessen
the unfortunate mans sufferings which
were excrucisting In the extreme.

Murphy's pains we're 80 intense that they
caused him TO cry out with agony. He was
carried to his home, no New Houston
street, where death relieved him about II
O'clock, after two hours OF fearful suffering.
Murphy had been employed as watchman
at the Bolton street crossing for years and
was known as one of the most careful men
in the company's employ. He was about IS
years old and native of Ireland. Before
becoming a switchman he worked along
