Two incidents occurring In cars few
days ago exhibit the thoughtlessness
which some women daily display. one
took place In u Sixth avenue elevated
train. A party OF six. three gentlemen
and three ladies', entered the ear ana
found seats. Two OF them took u cross
seat and the others placed themselves
In the roar OF the car. when the train
slowed up at the Cortlandt street sta
tlon for some unexplained reason the rear
OF the car was beyond the platform, ana
all who had gone to that end TO get on
were obliged 10 retrace their steps ana
walk through the car to the front plat
form. Meanwhile four OF the party OF
six sought TO better their positions. ana
when the passengers about faced the
four were standing In the aisle waiting
for one OF them, a pretty girl, to make
her choice. Aa she stood for fully two
minutes, u long time to busy Americans
with boats to catch, specializing as to
relative morlts of cross and side seats
while the impatient passengers pushed
and crowded In their efforts to get out
Finally the other girl said: "Nell, go
sit down; don't you see they want to

The other Incident was observed In an
electric car at a junction In Jersey City.
As the car stopped passenger, lady,
started to get out. There were several
women waiting to get on. ana the con-

result.
The conductor. as he say all were de-
termined to enter. turned In despair
to the lady waiting chance to get on,
but as he saw she was smiling in an
amused way, no ceased saying, "One
moment please" and counted as four,
FIVE, six, seven women forced their way
into the car AS the conductor pulled
the bell after the lady had alighted, he
was heard muttering something about
the usolessness of "trying to make wom-

MEN TELL THEIR STORY,
Reply to President Little's statemet Re-
garding West End Strike.

Boston, December 30.-The Supreme
Council of Conductors and Motormen' s
Union. tonight issued statement to the
executive board of the West End Street
railway and the public in reply to that of
President Little given out this afternoon.
The council admits that mistakes were
made and that it could not control the
actions of the men after needless and
inexcusable delay on the part of the
management of the road in giving the
council recognition, because it had not
then time to communicate with them be-
fore the hour at which the strike had
heen voted to take effect. The council
does not admit it acted in bad faith with
the road or men and resents President
Little's inference that it gave the press
unreliable statements. Only twenty five
mon on the entire system voted against
the strike. If he had informed the Su-
preme council that he and Lo power to
sign the agreement and the board was
not within reach, or if four hours before
he did, he had informed the council that
the executive board had never discussed
the agreement the strike would not have
occurred. The executive committee of
the West End company will meet Thurs
day aftsrnoou.

White island yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Ware had large interest i'll the cram

covered it almost completely. Ware was
not missed until yesterday when search
ing party from Sycamore found his re-
mains. Ware hailed from Whitefeld,
Me-, and has a brother living within

There are no suspicious Of foul play, as a
large sum of money and other yaluables
were found on the dead man.

been arrested at No, s Batavia street,

tions of the gang ware carried on in the
Maine woods, and in the mountain fast
nesses of Virginia, rs we'll as in the
slums of New York.
Spurious money made by them has
been extensively circulated throughout

done that the governments detectives
found it hard to tell 1t from the genuine.
1t Is said that other arrests of the gang
will be made shortly.
Marli, ono Of the men arrested, has al
ready served a term of twenty years for
counterfeiting. He is considered the

Augusta, Dec. 30.-The Board of State
Assessors, Otis Hayford. George Pottle
and William B. Marshall, today sub
nitted their sixth annual report to the

than ordinary interest as this is the
biennial year when they fix the values
for State taxation. They say
We are not unmindful of the fact that
not so large percentage of increase ap-
pears as in former years.
This may readily be accounted for
when it is known that we have endeav-
ored. not so much to increase the State
valuation as to more thoroughly equalize
present values. We have in addition to
this also to meet the deprecated con-
dition of values of all classes of proper
ty both real and personal. We find that
the late act relative to shipping places
the present value at SO, 1893, as against
the value in 1894 of So, 346, 22S, a reduc-
ton of SO, 1914, 535. We have also been
forced to reduce our standard of values
on live stock to the extent of over one
half million Of dollars, and total re-
duction in values of $79l, 1902.
The reorganization shows the total
local valuation to be $27s, 1858, 654 of
which SIT, 207, O62 is real estate; $780,
2a2, 100, real estate nonresident; $61, 056,-

nonresident.
The polls returned are 1872, 1856.
