'I see by the account in the papers

amist by the name Of James Clark,
and from the photograph that appeared
in your papers we identified him here as
a man known to us as James Taylor
alias Franklin Brown, who was brought
from New York on April IL, 1892 plead
ed guilty to adultery and was sentenced
May 13, 1892 to state prison for three
years and was discharged December 20,

Charles D. Scott, he married Mrs. f. D.

1891, as Thomas Benton, he married MIS-

s, 1891, as Charles p. Benton, he married
Miss Hornung of Sandusky, o.; Decem-
Der 10, 1891, as Franklin Brown, be mar
ried Hattie Gwynn in Boston, and I
am informed that there are several
others that he married in the same way.
Ills description given here at that time
was age 56 years, 5 feet tall, light blue
eyes, hair gray, beard gray, right arm
amputated about four inches below the

applied for the position, was engaged
and gave Clark two trunks to be ship
ped to her supposedly new abode. Clark
and the trunks disappeared. Two weeks

LIVELY RETURNS ARE MADE
THE INCOME TAX OFFICIALS ARE
KEPT UNUSUALLY BUSY.

The Condition is Such That Clerks Have
Been Called in From Other Divisions
Thousands on the Tax Have Already Been
Paid In.
Washington, March 22.-Income tax
returns are pouring into the office of
the commissioner of internal revenue
SO rapidly as to keep the income tax
division very busy. Clerks from other
divisions have been detailed to assist
in the work of classifying the returns.
The returns. it is stated, are much
more numerous than were calculated
upon in the first estimates submitted
to congress as the basis for action.
The estimate then was that $4,000 COR
portions and individuals were subject to
the tax. After the law passed and the
estimates of the fifty-eight collectors
of internal revenue were complied it
was found that they aggregate 100000
returns from corporations and individ-
uals. This estimate is considered en-
tirely too high and if the income tax
is paid by $4,000 individuals and cor
porations it is believed the law will
have been more generally enforced than
is usual with a new enactment of this
kind.
According to officials OF the treasury
department neither corporations nor in
dividuals are holding back returns,
pending the decision of the supreme
court on the constitutionality of the
tax. Foreign returns and returns from
New York and other centres mostly al
fected by the tax are said to be coming
in quite lively. Although the tax it
self is not due until July 1 it is said
that $4,000 has already been paid in.

fact that the sugar is mixed with
arsenic, but analysis shows the pres

cal.
The cargo, which has been aban-
doned to the government, was dam
aged in transit across the Atlantic and
was mixed with a quantity of arsenic
that was also in the ships hold.

st. Paul Makes "a Bid For the State Uni
versity.
St. Paul, March 22.-St. Paul will
make an offer to the legislature of Como
park as a suitable site for the state
university. This offer will be backed
by bond of s1,OOO,OOO from the public
spirited citizens of st. Paul. Como park
is admittedly the most charming piece
of landscape in the state. 1t contains
nearly 300 acres and the property is
worth $4,000, 900. This would make the
offer of st. Paul foot up to $50OO,0 900.
This action is taken in retaliation for
the action of Minneapolis in offering
Loring park as site for the state
capitol.
An amusing possibility is that the
legislature will accept both propositions
.one being to remove the state legisla-
ture to Minneapolis and the other to
remove the state university from Mime
apolis to st. Paul.
