RAILROAD TAXES.
An Effort to BE Made to Collect Those
in Arrears.

An Effort to BE Made to Collect Those
in Arrears.
Another effort Is about to be made by
the District Commissioners to collect from
the various railroads in the city the back
taxes due. These taxes were for cars the
rate being $6 for tvo-horse cars. and S, for
one-horse cars. Few of these taxes were
ever paid. and the aggregate foots up a
good many thousand dollars.
Every year it has been the practice of
the assessor to call attention to this mat
ter. but nothing has ever been done ex-
eept to make formal claim upon the sew
eral companies for the tax
Some time ago Assessor Trimble in a let
ter to the Commissioners called attention
to this matter. and urged that some steps
be taken to collect the tax His recon-
mendatfon slumbered all through the ses-
sion of Congress. But at the beginning of
the present week Major Powell brought il
to life. and in a recommendation to the
board of Commissioners urged that an
other effort be made to collect the taxes
and II not successful, to bring the mat
ter TO the attention of Congress, with a
view of obtaining legislation TO compel
the railroads to pay up.

Report of k1autky, Who Was With
Him Mt the Time

Minister Andrade Of Venezuela called ON
Secretary Olney today. 1t is said the call
had no correction with the Guiana boun-
dairy dispute. So far as can be learned
the British have not made any demand
for indemnity for tie arrest of the crown
Surveyor, Harrison, on the border.
Mail advices received here from British
Guiana give the report made by E. c..
klautky. who was with Harrison at the
time OF his arrest. Klautky claimed Ger
man citizenship. whereupon the Vene-
zuslars released him. He says they wait
ed eight days before making the arrest,
with the evident purpose of getting Or
ders from Caracas. When the arrest oc-
CURED Harrison demanded to know by
what authority 1t was made, and was told
mat the minister of the interior had or
dered IT. klautky says the commander
reluctantly performed a disagreeable duty,
and showed Harrison and himself every
courtesy. Harrison handed Klautky seal
ed dispatches for the British authorities
to which the Venezuelan commander made
nc protest The guard making the arrest
numbered eighteen soldiers. including two
English-speaking coolies. They were
armed with rifles of miscellaneous pat
terms. Klautky delivered Harrison's dis
patches to Sir Augustus Hemming at
Georgetown. and they were forwarded to
Minister Chamberlain at London. They
are due to arrive there about the present
time

BOTH WE'RE DISAPPOINTED.
The Hangman and the Murderer
MRntcd the Execution.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., July 16.-There
were two disappointed men in the Hudson
county Jail in this city today. One was
Paul Genz, the murderer, who instead of
beirg happy because his execution, which
was to have taken place today has been
postponed, was very surly and cursed be-
cause he was not to he hanged. and the
other was Hangman Van Hise Of Newark
who was to have officiated at the execu-
ton of Genz and John Mackin.
Genz killed his sweetheart, Clara Arnim
in Hoboken two years ago, while Mackin,
who is twenty-three years of age, killed his
wife, Lizzie, and her mother Mrs. Bridget
Cor rnors, and attempted to kill his father
in-law, Maurice Connors, and himself.
Their hangings We're both set down for
today. Hangman Van Hise Yesterday
afternoon put up the gallows in the Jail
yard, and everything was in readiness for
the execution. The counsel of the con-
demned men went to Trenton last evening,
applied to the court of errors and appeals
for writs of errors and they were granted.
The lawyers, Stuhr and DENIM, then hur-
riedly returned to Jersey City, where the
writs were served on Judge Lippincott,
Sheriff John J. Toffey and Clerk Fisher
fcl bidding them to hang the men pending
of errors Mackin, when he heard that
he had a new lease of life tainted, while
GeEz. who a few days ago tried to kill one
OF fis death watch. became very surly and
cursed every one in aSd about the Jail,
saying he wanted to be hanged that he
could JOIN his "Edelwess,'' his name for
Miss Arnim.

A Young Italian Now Lies at the
Point of Death.
HIS SUFFERINGS INTENSELY PAINFUL
Great Excitement on D Street Be-
tween 9th and 10th.
BUILDING NOT MUCH HARMED

As q result Of the careless use of gaso-
line about 1880 o'clock this afternoon, Jo-
seph Mantegari, a young man twenty-five
years OF age, is now at Emergency Hos
pital suffering intense agony. and with
death, in the opinion of medical experts,
but few hours distant.
Young Mantegari is a son of G. Mantle
gari, the proprietor of Il restaurant at Oh
d street The young man is we'll known
down town, being familiar to the passers-
by on Pennsylvania avenue, he, in con-
junction with his sister, having conducted
the small fruit stand on the 11th street
side Of The Star buildings. This afternoon
Mantegari filled q small bucket with gaso-
line. and. securing a paint brush. began
to apply the fluid to the woodwork of 4
porch at the rear of his fathers establish
ment. Opening beneath this porch is a
doorway from the first story of the buill-
Ing. and directly inside a cooking range is
located.
In painting about the doorway the young
man approached too near the step and
stumbled. This caused the bucket contain
Ing the gasoline TO partly upset and a
quantity Of the fluid fell directly upon the
stove. In an instant Mantegaris clothing
had taken fire. and he was soon mass OF
flames. He rushed into the yard. but not
before tho woodwork about the porch was
In blaze. The father Of the young man
o. tHdt IuOMcut glanced INTO the yard, and
noting the condition of affairs rushed to-
ward the fire alarm box at 9th and d
streets and summoned the engines Seeing
that something was wrong, Mr. Warren
Reed. who 10 connected with a cigar store
IN the neighborhood, rushed to the yard
ana made strong endeavor to extinguish
the flames He succeeded in tearing away
the clothing about the upper portion of
Mantegari's body. and lowered him to the
ground.
large crowd soon gathered and 1t was
not long before the engines and the reserve
force Of the first police precinct were on
hand. The sufferer was wrapped in a blan-
ket. placed in q patrol wagon and hastily
driven to the Emergency Hospital There
the entire house stan set to work. first to
relieve the intense pain and next to apply
stfmulants. The entire upper portion Of
Mantcsarfs body was shockingly burned
and he presented a horrible appearance All
the skin was gone and the flesh was raw.
The legs were also burned but not SO badly
a. the upper portion Of the body. There
neeuas to be no doubt that the young man
inhaled the flames.
While on the operating table he con-
stantiy emitted groans OF anguish. AS
stated. his recovery would be nothing short
OF miracle, and 1t Is not thought that he
can live longer than a few hours.
The fire about the porch was quickly ex-
ttnguiShed. The damage to the property is
very slight, the fire department having
practically nothing to do. Mr. Reed was
Slightly burned about the hands in aiding

PERSECUTION ALLEGED.
Railway Mail Clerks Make Charges
Against u Superior.

Railway Mall Clerks Make CharEee
Against a Superior.
SAN FANCISCO, July 16-John F. Lewis,
who was dismissed from the railway mail
service June l, has fled sensational charges
against Superintendent Samuel Flint, with
the Postmaster General at Washington.
Lewis asserts that he was discharged be-
cause he testified against Flint a year ago.
when Clerk Colver of Los Angeles preferred
charges of drunkenness and favoritism
against his chief. He charges also that A.
c. Malone. f. C. Murray, ]. e. Vaudeville
of Sacramento and Z. b. Spear. all clerks
who have been dismissed within the past
twelve months. were dlsmissed for the same
reason
The general chars-~ which Lewis has pre-
ferred against SIr.[-tendent Flint ailege
drunkenness. the use OF vulgar language,
direct and Intentional violation of depart
ment orders in allowing money lenders to
transact business through the main Office
of the eighth division, lack of discipline,
favoritism. political and religious discrimi-
ration and gambling.
Similar charges were filed against Super
intendent Flint about a year ago. They re-
suited in an investigation by post office in
spectors, who practically exonerated Flint,
and the dismissals of the men were based
on the official report. The only new charge
now is that Of religious discrimination, and
the Post Office Department officials are not
inclined to regard the present charges very
seriously.
