VIII Likely Becomc II Part OF the
American Federation.

Terre Haute, Ind, May THE lodges of
tho brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen
throughout the country voted the list of
this month on the proposition to affiliate
with the American Federation OF Labor
The proposition was before the biennial
convention at Galveston last summer ana
was strongly urged by Grand Master saT-
gent and President Gompers OF the feu-
Grafton, who were present by Invitation,
The impression is that the returns WI,
show that the proposition has been; carried
nv more than the necessary two-thirds OF
the lodges. The affiliation is for frazer

involve the flremen in strike or other

Montgomery, June 4-(Special.) .)-The following report of Assist ant Examiner of Public Accounts w. R. Foster was given out at the capitol today:
 Birming ham, May 29, 1897. Hon. Joseph F. Johnston, Governor of Alabama, Montgomery, Ala: . Sir:-Under your instructions have ex- amined the books and papers, etc, or Hon. M. T. Porter, judge of probaee of Jefferson courl-y.
 I investigated carefully his reports on licenses and redemptions for the years 1891 to March 31. 1897, inclusive. The err TOTS found in these reports are mostly clerical and, as the judge clearly sees, he is due the state and county these fni- ings. Wal state them briefly:
 He Is due the state on account of re- demptions not reported. ,$22-SS; interest to be added from July 1, 1896, and to ahe county, $199.S0
 On accoun. of licenses he is due the state $4.75 and the county s25S.21; ini-er- est to be added from January l. 1893, to amount due the sltalte.
 The above amounts due the county i'm clalde i.erest to date, and the judge in-, forms me have been paid to the countys treasurer.
 In this investigation I had the help of. MT. J. P. Stiles, the chief clerk of the office who rendered me valuable Inform ation and assistance In him the judge has a thoroughly capable and an une
 
 In this examination note that a raise of s105 250 was made on the real and per sonal propeil,y of the Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing company for the year 1895 by the board of equa hzation. Said raise appears on the assessment books for that year. but does not appear on the abstract furnished the tax collector by the probate judge I find further thar I,he board of eau qualization afterwards allowed the P1on- eer Mining and Manufacturing company 11.,o alttaafi ion, if their real estate thinking tha. lhey had been charged with the above raise. but the fact is the Pioneer people got this re- duction on .lneir original assessment. and therefore escaped paying taxes on val uaiion of $105250 for that year.
 RECAPITUIIATION. Amount due the state by the probate
 judge on account of redemptions. .$22 SS On acouLs of licenses. :. ..... 475  Interest to be added, as stated.
