Tax Commissioners to-day raised a square issue
with the Federal Court in the matter Of assess
Ing the Indiana Manufacturing Company, Judge
Baker having issued an injunction against tho
assessment on the ground that the coinpany's

that its stock was worth 81 on the market for

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 12.-This mmsr

PoUGHKEErsIE. Aug. 12.-There is q great
stir in Coxsackie over the discovery OF gold
right under the noses Of the villagers. who have
lived for years in blissful ignorance Of its exist

yellow metal in it. Mr.. Welsh took specimens
up to tho village. and the inhabitants pro-
nounced the metal gold. Immedi ately the vii
lage was in an uproar. An old "forty-niner"
was hunted up, who, after careful examination,
said, If that isn't gold. l have never seen
any,"
Specimens of tho rock were. taken to the cd
itor Of Rough Notes at Undertook. and he ad-
vised the boomers to get a derrick and raise
$50, 900 to develop the mine. In his opinion the

TORONTO, Aug. 12.-The Dominion and Pro

As many Americans and some Canadian lum-

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. l2.-By far tho most
astonishing papers read at the Convention of
American Scientists" to-day were those by
Prof. Gilbert and DR.. Spencer of Washington.
DR.. Spencer by cold, logical reason proved that
tho course Of the lakes was steadily changing.
Reckoning n long distance in the future, both
Prof. Gilbert and DR.. Spencer agreed that the
Niagara River and Falls will cease to exist. and
that tho course of the water from the lakes will
be over what Is now Chicago toward the Missis-
sippi River. DR.. Spencer said:
1T Is specially important at Chicago. because
that city stands on u low plain near the level of
Lake Michigan, and close by there is n divide so
low that the waters OF Lake Michigan will
naturally find a discharge TO the Mississippi,

at Johnstown would be ms nothing compared 10

made preparations to prevent IT. His basis OF
