The Wilmington M. E. Preachers
Association was to have been addressed
by DR.. w. L. s. Murray on 'The Apos-
tolic Church Compared to the Present
Church." but DR.. Murray was called out
Of town.
The Anti-saloon League made report
which was approved by the association,
and the following was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the statement made
by our brother, the Rev. Ralph T..
Coursey, relating to the controversy
between himself and the Sunday Star,
has been heard by us with great
pleasure. We have abundant proof that
the statements charged to Brother
Coursey were not made by him. That
we are in sympathy with Brother
Coursey in his attack on Sunday
papers; that we have not among our
number more gentlemanly, more con-
secrated or fairer-minded man than he,
and that we regard the coarse criticisms
made upon Brother Coursey by the
Sunday star''as entirely uncalled for by
the circumstances Of the case, and as a
sample of journalism to be condemned
by all fair-minded people. The dangers
to the community from the Sunday
papers cannot be too strongly stated by
the pulpits, and we call upon all minis
ters and members to refuse to patronize
Sunday papers and to use proper measures
TO induce others to do the same" .
Rev. Ralph Coursey was present and
made short statement to the Associa-
tion.

Special to The Sun.
CHESTER, Pa, Dec. 13.--While one OF
Wagner & Flahery's heavy wagons was
crossing the tracks Of the p, w. & B..
Railroad, at Glenolden, this afternoon, it
was struck by a northbound express
train. One horse wrs instantly killed
while the other was fatally injured and
will probably die. 1t is a miracle that
the train was not derailed. The driver,
who was walking behind the horses, did
not see the train until it was too late to
get them over. One of the horses
stumbled as it attempted to rush from
the track Had not the watchman
noticed the horse stumble and tagged
the train, causing it to slacken speed, it
would undoubtedly have been derailed.

entered vigorous kick last night. He
stated that the train often left the station
with some Of its lamps not lighted and
continued in that condition until it's ar

THE TAX Ian PUZZLE.
A Bad Case Of Rattles Among
County officials.
REDUCED TAX RECEIPTS.
Tax Collectors Cannot Collect and are
Getting Desperate, and Asses
sOrs are Receiving but
Few Returns.
REDUCED TAX RECEIPTS.

The all important subject now among
bankers, members Of corporations, and
all business men in this city. is the
rather conglomerated Adams tax law.
Until yesterday it was thought that
the bill did not provide any penalty
in cases where individual holders of mort
cages and other investments failed to
make returns Of their Investments.
Now all is changed and there is now
more agitation over the workings of the
tax law than there has been at any time
since it's adoption. n
The law has has compelled a revision
OF the election rules Of both political
parties, has cut down the receipts of the
receipts of the county tax receiver and
been the cause of more discussion, argu-
ment and uncertainty than any other
law ever foisted on the Delaware public.
The new section unearthed shows that
all mortgages will be compelled to make
returns to the assessor in o.'der that the
mortgages may be put on the assessment.
They will by that be upon the tax COL
lector's duplicate when he gets in next
July.
The section (No. 10Y, which is the
latest feature Of the bill is worded like
this: a..
Every plaintiff in any suit brought
in any court, or before justice of the
peace, to enforce payment Of any debt
taxable under the provisions of this act
after the first of July, A. D. 1898, shall
file with his order or precipe directing
the same, and before any writ or pro-
cess shall issue, an affidavit stating that
the tax thereon has been paid by the
plaintiff or owner of the debt, and that
no part Of said tax was paid directly Or
indirectly by the defendant debtor.
False swearing under this section shall
be perjury and shall be punished ac-
cordingly."
Yesterday, although Assessors Farley,
Mccoy and Whann sat at the Court
House as late as 4 O'Clock few returns
were made. sittings will be held on
Thursday and Friday and after that the
assessors will visit investment holders
and members of corporations at their
homes and places of business.
