TO DO AWAY WITH THE PENALTY.
An Amendment to the Tax Ordinance
TO BE offered.

People who do z want TO return their
s. watches or ". have been carefully
concealing their gold plated chains or
other taxable trinkets viii welcome the
news that Alderman Falligant viii intro
duce in council tonight a new tax ordi-
nance which viii do away. If passed, with
the requirement, under penalty for fail
ure, that returns be made by those who
have nothing to return
The effect Of Alderman Falligant's or
dinance viii be. provided it is passed, TO
remove the penalties for noncompliance
with the existing ordinance. thus putting
the matter OF tax returns on the old basis
practically. That is 10 say, the penalties
imposed under sections 8 and OF the
present tax ordinance and section re-
curing all male persons over p years OF
age 10 make returns whether they have
any property or not viii be repealed. The
only penalty the new ordinance will pro-
vide Will be a double tax for failure to
make returns the same as Is done in the
case Of the collection Of taxes by the
state and county
The proposed ordinance will have sew
eral other features of interest. 1t is stated
by those who will advocate 10 that the
former ordinance was framed in hurry,
and that II has some features which are
not altogether desirable. Objections were
made by Aldermen Hudson and Falligant
at the time II was introduced. and II Is
stated that since its operations have been
noted there are several other aldermen
who sdesire that a change be made. In
fact, several of those who voted in favor
CT the present ordinance have expressed
such desire, and the proposed new ordi-
nance will no doubt be well considered at
once.
The object is to have such an ordinance
passed before the time for making returns
is up, so that those who have no returns
to make need not be brought to the neces-
sity of exposing their poverty, or making
a public declaration of it as is at present
required
The aldermen who are interesting them
selves in the change do not think they
will have any trouble in securing the pas
sage of such an ordinance as is proposed.
They say the assessors are paid 10 look al
ter the tax returns. and that II is their
business TO look after those who fail to
return their property as required, and see
that they do II. They think that all taxes
can be collected in the usual way without
any severe measures.
There is little doubt that this measure
will prove a popular one The effort to re-
quire all persons to make returns whether
they have any property to return or not,
involved many unpleasantries which eV-
eryone will be glad to get rid of, and 1t
looks as If Alderman Falligant would re-
ceive a hearty second to his ordinance.

"PADDYy BENNETT ARRESTED.
Believed 20 he Gold Brick swindIer
wanted in New York.

Patrick Connolly, alias Paddy Ashe, =
alias Paddy Bennett" was arrested last
night by Detective Wetherhorn on infor-
nation received by Chief McDermott from
Chief Detective Stephen O'Brien of New
York city ..,.t.
Connolly. or Bennett the name which
he gave here, has been in Savannah sew
eral weeks. He and his companions were
spotted by the detectives shortly after
their arrival as "crooked people," and
were notified not to attempt to get in any
of their work here. Chief McDermott
received Detective O'Brien's letter last
night, inclosing picture of Connolly and
stating that he was wanted in New York
on the charge of grand larceny. The pic
ture was recognized at once as that of the
man giving his name as Bennett. 1t was
placed in the hands of Detective Wether-
horn, who went out in company with De-
tectiVes Kiley and Scully, and inside
of half an hour they had Bennett at the
barracks
Bennett is, a stout, heavy-set man OF
rather forbidding yisage. He denied that
he was wanted for anything in New York,
and In answer to a question said that
he would not go back there without a req
uisition.
Chief McDermott believes from infor-
nation he received from other sources
that Bennett is a gold-brick swindler and
that he is wanted in New York for work
ing that game. Detective O'Brien was
wired of the arrest.

WRECK of the FuIdn.

The steamship Fulda, owned by George
Bartels of this city, met its doom on the
homeward trip from Atlanta. She sailed,
as the readers of the Morning News know.
in the early part of October for Atlanta,
under command of her owner, where she
arrived safely, and secured first prize at
the exposition, as the artistic work of the
builder well deserved. Her homeWard
journey, however, proved fatal. She ar
rived with her bulwarks stove in bridge
washed away, miZzenmast carried away
below the maintopmast head; in short a
total wreck. Her crew is supposed to be
buried under the wreckage. The wreck
can be seen at No. 81 Broughton street.

At O'Clock, the hour at which the pay

Der Of shares credited to each upon the
books of the company. In this way the
checks We're simply handed out to the
stockholders when they presented the
proper credentials. and receipts for the
amounts due were given. The checks
We're either cashed by the Citizens Bank
OF deposited for collection in other banks.
