HARDLY TRUE

Washington, August >19.-Reports
have reached here from Buenos eAyres to
the erect that an American syndicate has
offered tie Argentine Republic $3.50, OO0,-
ooo IN silver in exchange for 800, 900, 900
in bonds payable in gold at 4 per cent. in
terest, with one half per cent. added as a
sinking fund. The offer of the Americans
is said to be part of a general plan by
which Argentina is seeking to change
from paper to specie basis. The plan
contemplates that each of the new silver
dollars shall take up two of the paper dol
lars. 1t is said that the market value of
Argentine.4 per cent. gold bonds is such
that the transaction would prove profit
able one for the Americans, while its Incl
dental effort would be to dispose of con-
siderable supply of the surplus silver of
the United States

THE PAVEMENT wON,T SUIT

A petition from the City Council adj
dressed to the supervising architect at
Washington, d, c., is being circulated
here. The petition states that the speci-
fications require that common brick
pavement shall be laid around the new
postoffice building, and that such pave
ment is not in keeping with such mag
nlhcent building, nor with the character
OF pavements made by the city, and asks
that granolithic or flag stone pavement
be substituted. The petition was also
signed by about fifty leading and infiu-
entail citizens.

TO RAID DISTILLERIES.

Revenue Agents b. b. Bouldin and W.
II. Farborough together with Deputy
Collectors u. +. Stultz, Il. n. Williams,
X. M. Terry, H. N. Richards, r. p. John
son, w. Kilbourne, A. c. Edmonds,
I. 5. Felts, II. S. Williams, 6. NJ. New
house and Deputy Marshals j. w. Will
son, L. G. Dickinson, H. c. Hall and
others went to Floyd county on Monday
with the intention of making a general
raid on the illicit distilleries in the noun
tains of that county and Patrick and
Franklin. 1t lis understood that much
feeling has been engendered among the
mountaineers on account of n former raid
made few weeks ago, at which time the
revenue men did considerable shooting
and were shot Mt by the distillers and
their friends. One of the horses ridden
by the officers was shot as many as nine
times and others were also wounded. 1t
seems that from all reports the noun
talneers are becoming desperate, and the
officers may experience a rough time be-
fore returning to ther homes.

A SHOCKING DEATH.

Philadelphia, Pa, August 19.-Mrs.
Mary Rumford, assistant housekeeper of
the Women's Christian Association, was
instantly killed to-day while attempting
to aiight from freight elevator on the
eighth hoor of the big association build
ing at Eighteenth and Arch streets. In
some unaccountable manner the elevator
started before she could get off. Her
head was caught between the floor of the
car and the door frame, and she was
crushed to death. The regular elevator
attendant was away and Mrs. Rumford
operated it herself, as she had often done
before. She was about so years of age.

ASSESSMENTS CLOSED.
Marked Increase of City Levy Over Last
Year


Commissioner of the Revenue J. S. Pat
tie. has just completed the assessment
books for the present year and upon ex-
animation yesterday it was ascertained
by Times reporter that the real estate
levy for the year is $50, 5S0.0S, and the
levy on personal property is $75, 1855 Ia,
both of which taken with the bank levy
amounts to 1854, Bits This compared
with the levy of last year shows a gain of
SGT, O27.16, notwithstanding the deprecia-
tion of real estate values The levy of
last year is as follows: Real estate, 500
35G. 80; personal, including banks, $36,
933: 43; making total of $751;, 10000
The total assessed valuation of personal
property of the Norfolk and Western rail
road this year is So, 066, $40 against 81, 25O,-
0O0 last year. The assessment on Norfolk
and Western real estate this year is $102,-
~ against $170, 80 last year, although
real estate has decreased generally.
This makes a difference in favor of the
city to the amount of the revenue which
will be derived from the assessed yalua-
tion of about 81, 600, 900 worth of Norfolk
and Western property, and instead of
paying tax of $4,000 to the city this
year this company will fork over about
SUI, 600 to the city's revenue
The Roanoke street railway is assessed
this year as follows: Real estate, $4S, OOO
personality, 81 ,450, making a total of
roy, 400, against an assessed valuation of
S4O IVY last year, giving an increase of
$4,000.
The Gas and Water Company will this
year pay taxes on 800, 900 worth of piping,
which is new departure for this corpo-
ration, as heretofore they have gone un-
taxed. This did not become part of the
work of the assessors, but was brought
about through the vigilance of Commits
sioner Pattie, with the assistance of the
city engineer.
This reassessment of values will doubt
less be largely beneficial to the city from
financial standpoint, as large proper
ton of the collectable taxes will now come
from the large corporations.
