NOW HUSTLE FOR YOUR FRIENDS
INCOME TAX AND FEES.

G. Eragg Fielder Preparing a Me
mortal 10 Present to the Senate.
The State, county and municipal officers in
this State are greatly worried over one sec
tion of the Income Tax bill. now pending in
the United States Senate. The section reads
as follows
provided, that salaries due to State,
county or municipal officers shall be
exempt from the income tax herein levied. !"
It is claimed by able lawyers that this sec
tion does not exempt those Officials who are
paid fees. This would make the clerk Of the
Court of Chancery, Secretary Of State, clerk
of the Supreme Court and other State off
cials paid by fees liable to the tax. It also
includes County Clerks, Surrogates, Sheriffs
and Registers in the counties and many
Others
These officials are now preparing a me-
mortal to- the different Congressman from
this State asking them to use their influence
to have the bill amended so as to include
fees in the exemption as well as salaries.
There is no doubt but that Congressman G.
Bragg Fielder will heartily push this meas
ure, for as Register of this county he is paid
in fees, and he is seldom accused of sacri-
ficing himself for the sake of his party

'TRICKBD NEW YORK ELKS
Board Of Grand Trustees Fly
to Jersey City and Do
Business.

The Board Of Grand Trustees of the
Order of Elks of America, in its war with
New York Lodge, executed neat flank
movement this afternoon in Jersey City.
The New York Lodge has all along claimed
that its charter, granted by the New York
State Legislature, is the only legitimate one,
and the Board of Trustees have no right to
transact the general business for the entire
order.
The members of New York Lodge hearing
that the trustees were going to meet IN the
Astor House, today, and organize, a lawyer
was on the qui vive to procure an injunction
and restrain them from doing any business
in New York State.
The precincts of the Astor House, this
morning, were crowded with Elks for and
against the trustees
They fearing legal complication one by
one made detour and finally reached Tay-
lor's Hotel.
! The three are Judge Murdaugh OF Ports
mouth. Va, Col. J. N. Rake Of Reading, Pa,
and Mr.. Harry Robe of Buffalo, N. Y
They lost no time in organizing and elect
ed Judge Murdaugh Chairman and Mr..
Robe Secretary
and place for the next Grand Lodge meet
ing. That will be in jamestown, New York
State, on June 10, and the railroad rates and
hotel fares have all be decided upon
No offer was received from Atlantic City.
and jamestown was selected because the
offer from that city was the best.
The Trunk Passenger Association for the
Eastern States have agreed to charge one
fare for the round trip from all points
within the territory named. The tickets are
good from June 16 to June 49,
TO PROBE THE ORDERS FINANCES
Then the trustees decided to give certain
people in New York g slap in the face by
appointing an expert to examine all the
books and financial transactions of the
order, from its formation to the present
time. The expert will make his report to
the trustees on. or before June Is.
sUPPLY CONTRACT ORDERED.
Another important piece of business trans
acted was the ordering of a contract for
supplying paraphernalia, regalia and every
ALA used by the Elks.
Every supply house in the United States
is given q chance to bid, and the bids will
be opened at the Grand Lodge meeting in
June. Three grades of supplies win be bid
on, and no bid will be accepted until
samples are first approved by the Grand
Lodge.
A few routine matters were attended to
and trustees made their way back to New
York to laugh at the discomforture of the
New York lodge when its members read OF
the meeting in this paper.

BATHURST, NIB, May 10, 1S94.-R. Ellis,
C.E., in company with man named Petre,
left Bathurst on April II, to go over the
lumber lands owned by the st. Lawrence
Lumber Company, expecting to be away
about ten days. Nothing was heard from
them until few days ago, when Petre
arrived at Beaver Brook station. He stated
that While he and Eihs were crossing q
branch of the Northwest Miramichi River
tsoil' eatalaol'an bTo9e up, anu they drifted
to opposite sides of the river.
Petre, thinking that Ellis would make his
way to the lumber camps or the settlement,
went on alone for some days until he struck
the settlement at the head Of the Northwest
Miraniicni in famished condition, not hav-
ing tasted food for about week.
He supposed that Ellis had preceded him,
and it was not until Monday last that the
fate of Ellis became known. His body was
discovered on small island at North Esk.
From appearance Ellis died of hunger and
exposure some ten or twelve days age, and
was, no doubt, washed into the river, as his
axe and snowshoes were found on the bank

Mrs. Catherine Mohn, who was sentenced
to term of three and one-half years at
State Prison for having committed grand
larceny and forgery, was again in court
Yesterday. It will be remembered that
Mrs Mohn forged the name Of Mary Cos

the Proyident Institution for Savings, and
that she also failed to deposit money given
her for that purpose by Mary and Catherine
Cosgrove.
When she was sentenced last week she had
a young babe in her arms which her hlss-
band repudiated Consideration for the in

Mrs Mohn's sentence yesterday, and he
sent her to the PenrentiarJ a. 5nake Hill

Growler', with The Garrahans.
Hugh Mcnamara, carpenter, was tried
in the Court of Special Sessions today on a
chapge of assault and battery. The COM
planning witness was Edward Garrahan,
who charged that Mcnamara beat him.

half he said that his wife had gone to the
rooms occupied by Edward Garrahan and
his wife and that all day Sunday, April 20.
his wife and the Garrahans rushed the
growlers' and were drunk Mcnamara said
to them that it was a shame for the Garra-
hans to receive seventyrflve cents day from
Poormaster Hewitt while Garrahan was
working every day, and to spend the poor
money for beer. This led to row, and
when Garrahan handed him pawn ticket
for suit of clothes belonging to Mcnamara
which Mrs. McNamara had pawned, the
husband became enraged and struck him.

ENGLAND AND NAVAL SUPREMACY
By Cable to the united Press.

LONDON, May 10, 1894 The Pail Malt
Gazette publishes an interview with Captain
Alfred T. Mahan, commander of the United
States cruiser Chicago, now lying at Graves
end. Captain Mahan declined to discuss the
naval programme of Earl Spencer, First
Lord of the Admiralty, but expressed The
opinion that the naval supremacy Of Great
Britain was more vital to her now tnan ever
before in her history. Whenever naval
powers threaten her she must increase her
navy, nor, as a military question, security
can only be had by force of superior num-
bers. Captain Mahan expressed belief that
the future of naval warfare rests upon the
battleship and not upon the smaller vessels,
although the types OF battleships would be
varied from time TO time.

EVANS WON'T GET OUT

Principal Joseph Evans Of No. 81 schoo
this afternoon refused to say ANYTHING to a
JERSEY CIry NEWS reporter about the
charges the Board Of Ed ucation had pre-
ferrea against him except that he had placed
the case In the hands Of his counsel. In re-
gard to the dismissal from the principalship
he said he would not give up the position
until the Board Of Education had properly
expelled him. This they had not done. In
the first place they had not preferred one
charge against him in regard to his duties,
aud the only thing they had alleged against
him regarded his outside life, which, he
claims, they have no jurisdiction over.
Mr., Evans is still attending to his duties
at the school.
