 Mobile, May 14.-(Special Correspond ence.) .)-Mrs. Daniel M. Irving, wife of the well-known ship carpenter of this city died at her home, S51 Elmira street, Mon-f day after a brief illness. Some days since she had occasion to step into the back yard, and in doing so accidentally stuck a sharp object-suppose to be a piece of glass-into her foot. It pene- trated some distance into the flesh of the foot, and proved to be very pain full. At first the accident was not re- garded as serious, but in short time her foot began to hurt and a physician was called in, who found it necessary to use a lance. This gave her temporary re- lief. but in a day or so something like lockjaw set in and it was only a little while until another good woman had passed into the great beyond.

REBATE ON TAXES.
TWIN CITY REAL ESTATE MEN
DECIDE ON A FIGURE -s
And Discuss Measures to Be
y@5'.eF asked Of tho Legisla-
ture.

About fifty real estate men from Mill
neapolls and st. Paul met at the
chamber OF commerce yesterday after
noon and discussed matters of general
interest to property holders. Rush B.
Wheeler, president of the st. Paul Real
Estate exchange, presided and Thomas
Cochran and Ii. S. Fairchild urged that
the penalty on delinquent taxes is too
high and should be reduced. Mr.. Fair
child thought committee should be
appointed to endeavor 10 secure re-
duotion at the hands at the legislature.
A resolution was offered by Z. j.
Hodgson fayoring the wiping out Of the
present penalty on tax and substituting
interest at the rate of l per cent
month from June l TO the time of sale.
President Seeley, Of the Minneapolis
Real Estate exchange, said Senator
Potter has introduced bill embodying
the scheme set forth in MIR. Hodgson's
resolution. The only additional Sug-
gestion the speaker had to make was
that rebate onght to DC paid to every
man who would pay his taxes during
the first four months OF the year. For
January lie would make the rebate 4
per cent; March, 2 per cent; April. l
per cent. and May. being the month, in
which taxes would become due, neither
rebate nor penalty should be provided.
He offered as an amendment that an
effort be made TO have the rebate idea
incorporated in the bill.
EX-Ald. Lowell. of Minneapolis,
thought the rebate ought to be 3 per
cent on all taxes paid before June l.
He would have the rate of interest |
per cent a month from then until the
date Of sale, and only S per cent year
thereafter. t..
Mr. Hodgson Altered as an amend
ment to the amendment that the re-
bate be made 2, ~ and q per cent.
Maj. E. W. Peet favored the higher
rebate. He said that under such plan
he would pay all his taxes in January,
pay them under the lower rebate until
compelled TO do so by the attachment of
the penalty.
The amendment to the amendment
was voted down, and then the amend
ment carried. as did also the original
resolution.
There was some discussion regarding
the ACCESSIBILITY of:asking for the repeal
of the law granting one years time for
redemption after foreclosure of mort
gage, but the matter was laid on the
table, it being considered inadvisable
to take any action at this time.
A joint legislative committee, consist
ing Of three members from the Minne-
apolis and three from the st. Paul Real
Estate exchange, was appointed TO take
charge of all subjects of legislation
coming before the legislature and af-
feeling the interests of the real estate
men.
Following is the committee: l. c.

USURY is CHARGED
I'm GEORGE NETTLETON'S AC-
TION.
To Have Set Aside $4,000 OF
Mortgages-New Cases
in Court.

George o. Nettleton has begun pro-
ceedings to have set aside $500 of
mortgages given to the London and
Northwest American Mortgage COM
pany OH the ground of usury, rather an
uncommon ground of action. George
borrowed money on the property in
1883. when, it will be remembered, prop.
erty was valuable in Lexington Park as
we'll as elsewhere. He has, it appears.
paid the company considerable money,
though the company foreclo'ed on the
mortgages and bid in the property at
less than the face value of the mort
cages. In addition to that the COM
pany seeks personal judgment against
George, and he retaliates at this last
move and alleges usury as the grounds
for asking that the mortgages be set
aside. He is represented by Counselors
Horace Bigelow and o. a. Turner.

AUSTRIA THREATENS.
Prospects Of Strong Retaliation
Against the United States.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. - The new
Austrian minister. Mr.. Huengcnmiller,
is a frequent visitor at the state depart
IN Mt, looking for information respect
ing the prospects Of repeal of the spe-
cial tax Oh bounty sugar. Although
the formal note IN which he presented
the case of his government was cOuched
in the most friendly terms, there
it reason to believe that he has given
the state department to understand that
if some action in the line of all abate-
ment of tax is not had within a short
time, Austria will adopt a measure OF
retaliation that will exceed in severity
anything that has been done by Ger
many or any other of the European
powers. Information has come to GER

onward the repeal bill i'll order 10 stiIa'

sure the usefulness and worth of its
endeavor. They are Messrs. William

Addison Moore and L. ID. O'Brien are
the gentlemen who have c0me 10 the
front to direct in this cause. ID. Il.
Wellington is the agent of the society,
and will be entrusted with the conduct
of all business connected with the ell
terprise. The scope OF work contsm-
plated by this society is broad and far
reaching, and no case of Juvenile need
OF delinquency will be too trivial OF too
great for its cogniZance and Office. Mr..
Wellington wi Ii follow closely the lines
of work he has had III hand heretofore :,
and will enlarge upon il very much as
soon as settled in his office. which will
