EAGER TO SEE THEM.

Crowds Anxious to View the Accused
Murderers of Pearl Bryan.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, February 27.-In an
ticipation of the arraignment today of Scott
Jackson and Alonzo Walling for the murder
of Pearl Bryan, large crowds gathered
about the city hall and the Jail early this
morning. While the authorities considered
these assemblages due to sensational curl
osity rather than to any conspiracy for
lynchinG. yet they took the precaution to
evade both crowds.
1t was accordingly decided to get the
pleas court before Judge >Bookwalter at 8
O'Clock, and complete the legal arrange
ments for the transfer of the prisoners to
Sheriff Plummer of Newport. Ky. 1t was
evident, however. with the crowds hanging
around, that the prisoners could not be
quietly transferred across the river today
and all plans were abandoned.
AT IL am. it was announced that the ar
ra1gnment and hearing on the requisition
papers had been continued to a date that the
court would not divulge now or hereafter
to any one. Counsel for both Sides as well
as the court and the officers, are anxious to
avoid the crowds, and it Is believed that
they have agreed to have the case taken up
at any time when there is no crowd or pros
pect of disturbance.
There were people also around both the
Newport and COvington jails, waiting to see
the prisoners, who have become notorious
on account of the peculiarly brutal char
acter OF thesmurder charged against them

They started for the station followed by

The crowd finally became so demonstrative
that Winters and Campbell took refuge in
Burgess Bethune's office. From here they
were escorted to the railroad station by
the police followed by the mob yelling

TO TAX MORTGAGES.

Amendment to the Assessment Bill
Passed by the Maryland House.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. February 27.-The
house in considering the assessment bill to-
day passed an amendment providing for the
taxation Of nortgages by vote Of GO to 10.
The indications are. that drastic reas-
sessment measure will be passed. The
mortgage tax is at the rate of per cent on
the income Of all mortgages, except those
held by savings banks and building associa-
lions.
The senate has already passed similar
provision. AS there are $65,OOO,O0O in such
mortgages in Maryland, the amount of
revenue derived from the mortgage tax will
be about $4,000 year. The amendments
have been passed by both houses by prac-
tically unanimous votes and can therefore
probably be made laws, even should the
governor veto the bill.
Gov. Lowndes has named R. Dorsey
