ARTHUR's PROPERTY.

The Chief Engineer Worth Nearly .
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 2S.-The agita-
ton of the Des Moines Knights of Labor
regarding the property upon which
Chief Engineer p. 81. Arthur pays the
taxes in Cleveland, and the statement
that they will investigate the matter,
has given rise to the inquiry as to how
much property is owned by Mr.. Arthur
in this city. An investigation Of the
tax duplicate for 1898, at the county
courthouse shows that last year Mr..
Arthur paid taxes upon real estate upon
listed valuation of $45, $50.
The taxable valuation of property is
about 80 per cent of its value. This
would make Mr.. Arthur's estate worth
about $S5, 040. Mr.. Arthur's personal
estate was assessed at $3.150.
