TWO representatives of the Single
Tax idea visited Smyrna OH Saturday
evening las has been the case for the
previous several Saturday evenings)-
Messrs. Harold Sudell, of New Castle,
and Mr.. McIutyre, of Philadelphia.
The last named spoke first, from the
top of a gOOds-box set out in Main
street, and soon had circle of atIen.
tive listeners while he explained why
land, rather than improvements should
bear the burdens of taxation; how the
condition of all unemployed was being
more and more enslaVed, and how
the labOring man would be relieved of
an undue share of burdens while labor
would be increased and wages more
remuneratiVe under the new method.
He asked for questions to be pro-
pounded, but this particular feature of
the entertainment was nOtin full vogue
until Mr.. Sudell took the stand. He
had hardly gotten beyond the position
OF the first speaker when V0lley of
questions from the sidewalk Wa~ fired
at him from Il party of our leading citi-
zens that kept both Of the speakers one
on the box and the other on the side
walk, busy for an hour or more in
answering. Among them was, what
is the Single Tax, what does it include
and eXclude?" "Why shouldn't the
business man other than the land
owner pay his share of the government
tai expenses" 'if the owner of poor
land wouldn't pay as much as he pos
SCISSOR Of fertile fields" &C., &c.
Mr.. SudelI could not be diverted
from the Single Tax idea of raising
revenue, but his questiOners seemed
not to he satisfied or enlightened from
their standpoint of civil administration
that every man should bear his share
IN the expenses Of local government.
Another thing that puzzled the large
class OF men who believe that all
speakers who go out to enforce an idea
are well paid for it and so believe of
the Single Takers, was their statement
that they were men in regular employ
ment at some business and not en-
ployed to 90 out and preach their ideas
but die it from the higher motives of
citizenship, believing ii FOR the good OF
the masses.

PUNISHMENT NEEDED FOR THEN
The KObbe and ROseaIIy Boys Any
thing But Mere Lads.

Solicitor General Fraser desires to correct
the impression that has prevailed that the
boys Kobbe and Roseally, who were re-
Gently sentenced to the penitentiary for
two years each, are only lads of IL or
z years. He says that the boys par
ents say that they are between 10 and IS
years old. They are well grown and well
built boys. They are thieves from way
back" and have caused the police no end
of trouble.
Judge Falligant said that the papers in
the case stated that the boys were from
Is to l6 years of age and he is inclined to
think that correct as no correction or de-
mails have ever been made.
AS to their place of imprisonment there
is no discretion, the solicitor general
states. The humane hearted sheriff, how
ever is trying to place them at some camp
where they can be seen to and some at
tention paid to them, instead OF having
them sent to the coal mines. The boys
seem to have been very systematic and
bold in their thievery. and the court Of
ficers think that some punishment is need
full in such cases.

THINKS MS BoY WAS KILLED.
Dennis Mccarthy Appeals 20 the
Police.

Dennis II. Mccarthy. who lives at No.
1gs Houston street, turned Up at the BAR
racks last night with a queer story. Nc
Carthy had the misfortune to lose his
1s-year-oId son, Joe, last week. He went
TO the barracks. accompanied by several
boys. and told the sergeant on duty that
the playmates Of his son had Informed
him that the boy was badly beaten by Nick
Hangicos a few days before he died. The
boys said that Hangicos used a piece Of
electric light wire in beating young Nc
Carthy. a reference 70 the police docket
showed that HOngicos was before the re-
eorder on Aug. s. charged with assaulting
and striking the lad. There
did not appear TO be anything in the case,
however. and the recorder dismissed the
charge.
Mccarthy insisted that his son had been
beaten to death, however, and said that
he intended TO have his death investigat-
ed by the coroner. At his request PO-
liceman Crosby was sent down TO Hangi-
cos place Of business on Houston street,
near East Broad, with instructions 10 bring
Hangicos in for examination. The latter
had gotten an inkling of what was going
on, however, and when he saw the police
man coming skipped through the fruit
store and out Of the back way. The place
was searched, but he could not be found.
One Of the HangicOs brothers who claim
ed to be the proprietor of the fruit store,
went to the barracks a little later in high
dudgeon and protested against the way in
which the policeman had searched his
place He claimed to know nothing of
his brothers whereabouts. He said there
was a crowd of boys around his place.
deviling him and charging him with kill
ing Mccarthy, and he declared that If the
boys did not let him alone he would kill
some of them.
The Hangicos brothers have frequently
been before the police court. 1t seems,
though, that their excitable dispositions
afford great sport to boys, who make
habit of gathering around the fruit stand
and annoying them. IL was in
this way that Nick got into trouble with
young Mccarthy. There did not appear
to be anything the matter with the boy
when he was in the police court as a
witness against Hangicos, and neither
Coroner Goette nor Chief McDermott take
any stock in the story of his death from in
juries received in the difficulty. They re-
gard it as a concocted story on the part
of his companions to get HangicOs into
trouble
