COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT.


Hropesal 60 Make . Compremise ON
Bank stock Tax.
Tonight both houses Of the city council
viii meet. The house Of delegates has
cleared its docket, but will take up some
ordinances now in the hands Of commit
tees. It il expected that the national
banks In the city viii submit IN offsr to
the council to settle the tax on their bank
stock at IS per cent. Of the par value.
Some Of the banks have paid in full. but
most Of them are delinquent for 1891 and
1882, and the question Of the validity Of
the tax il pending before the courts. Sew
efal conferences have been held with
Comptroller Carson. and at . meeting
the advisory board the subject Was pretty
thoroughly discussed. The principal ar
gument is that real estate is not assessed
at its full value and bank stock has not q
fixed value, some of it being below par
and others above. This, they claim, makes
the face value an unjust measure Of ap-
praisement. but IS per cent. Of the market
value will place all upon an equality.
The ordinances providing for ratifca-
ton Of indebtedness represented by out
standing scrip ana submitting the pro
posal to issue bonds, at a special election,
will not be ready until Monday.

After living fifteen years together as man
and wife James and Je4snie Mckay ap-
peared in Justice Csldwel's court yester-
day to settle a question re's.ive to threats
made by Mr.. McKay against the life of
Jennie.
Mckay first met the woman In Port

repute. He took her and hsr little child
with him and. after living in Baltimore,
Chicago and San Francisco, they came
here two years ago. One year ago they

OF course the neighbors sa,d Mrs. Mckay
and Costcn lived in open s.iultery, but Mr..
Costen denies il ami Mr.. .dcKay says he
never believed it McKas is sshipbuilder
and does not stay ib the CAY a great deal.
On April Is he had Mrs. Ne Kay meet him
and they took dinner tcgether. lie told
her of the gossip ard ask~d her to come
and live with him. The ssecposal did not
please her: she claims thas he used to beat
her and she did not assent, Then he said:
Jennie, you can't live With any other
man than me. Ii you do. We will be bur-
led in the same grave"
This grave talk had n2i left Mrs. Nc
Kay's mind When Mr.. Mckay called at
the house three days latef for his property,
consisting OF . VIOLA. a sew and rat trap.
He got the last two articles, but the violin
had been pawned by Ma Mckay under
an assumed name. She 1idn't tell him
where i. was or what shS had done with
il, and this made him ms6. He called her
pet names that are not fund in the die
tionary and spoke IL her life in the house
of iil-fame. Then che gcs mad and picked
up Ratchet. Mckay retired with the rat
trap and saw, leaving Mrs. Mckay in
command. Justice Caldsel decided yes
terday that Mr.. Mckay would have to
keep away from Mes. NJ Say's house for
ak months and held him ander $50 bonds.
