FROM THE MINES
Menominee Range.

General Manager MacNaughton, OF the
Chaplin Mining company, informs The
Press that arrangements are now under
way for the erection OF another man
moth pumping plant at Timber Shaft
No. 2. The plant will be erected in the
eighth level Of the above shalt. A room
eighteen feet wide, thirteen feet b'gh and
sxty-five feet in length is now being
prepared for it.-Prcss.
The past week has been busy one at
the Aragon. Boiler makers, ropers,
machinists, carpenters, backsmiths and
a lot of laborers have been busy on
surface and miners, laborers and pump
men have been hustling underground
getting the property in shape for the
production OF ore. The past six months
OF idleness have done more 10 damage
the mine aud equipment than year OF
active work would have done. IL IL
true the water has been kept out down
To the 7th level but the steam boilers
as they became unit for use have been
allowed to cool and others brought into
use, the pumps have gotten well out OF
working order, the shalt, drifts aud
Slopes have suffered much from broken
and crushed timbers, and To repair all
these takes time and work II is prob
able that some ore will come TO sur
face this week and in any event by the
first Of next week hosting will be regu-
larly begun. There are at this writing
friday about 100 men at work.

PROPERTY SEIZED.
City Collector Smiths Raid
on Delinquent Personal
Tax Payers Yester-
day.
sWOOPED on LAFAYETTE
Horses and Greenhouses Levied On
Will Pay Fourth District
Call Today.
SWOOPED on LAFAYETTE

City Collector Simeon H. Smith potlnced
to pay their personal taxes for 1866, and
seized their personal property. The first
victim was c. G. Groenwoldt, of No. 125
Pacific avenue. He has black mare,
Katie. and a bay horse, Jerry, which the
Collector seized. Mr.. Groenwoldt will
undoubtedly pay up rather than let his
horses go to the hammer
Then Mr.. Smith made levy on John
H. Hudson, the market gardener of Van
Horne street, Lafayette. Here he seized
a sorrel horse a wagon and two green
houses. As in Groenwodt's case Col
lector Smith permitted the property to
remain where it was, but said to the
owners that if they removed it they would
be prosecuted. Both promised that they
wouldn't smuggle the horses and wagon
away. AS for the greenhouses the Col
lector was easy about them.
With these two exceptions all the leyieS
by the delinquents coming to time with
checks, cash or promises to settle up
within a few days The result is that
Mr.. Smith has money to burn today.
"Oh, yes, he said this morning, glee-
fully rubbing his hands. our levies yes
paid up and others have asked me for a
few days extension of time. which I have
granted We don't want to be hard. If
anyone asks for a few days time. of
course he shall have it. The law how
ever, will be enforced. Yesterday after
noon l made twenty-five levies"
This afternoon the Collector will visit
the Fourth district. where he has served
several warrants and those who don t
pay up Will have their property seized.

PATRoLMAN MILBURN's INJURY
Eso Says II Was Due to the Act of a
RufffanIY slNndnefor

Mounted Patrolman Milburn of Boule-
ward fame has begun a suit for $1,000
against the Consolidated Traction Com
pany. The papers were served on the
Traction Company's lawyers this morn
ing by Counsellor James Furey. Milburn
met with an accident on Saturday night
last which will render him unfit for duty
for some days. He alleges that it was
due not to carelessness on his part but
to an act of Edward Hill, conductor on
an Erie street car.
Nilburn was standing at Monmouth
and Montgomery streets Saturday night
waiting for a car. One came along and
as it passed him he seized the
rail and jumped upon the rear
step. AS he swung on to the car he
noted that the gate was closed and that
it was an Erie and not Montgomery
street car. Before he had time to jump
off again, he alleges, the conductor STEP
ped across the platform and gave him
a violent shove and loosening the hold of
his right hand upon the hand rail- His
body SWerved around and he would have
fallen had he not held on to the rear
dashboard with his left hand He was
dragged for half a block and finally
thrown violently to the ground
The conductor gave the signal for the
motorman to go ahead at full speed and
never turned back to see how badly the
injured man was hurt.

TURK MAY HAVE THESSALY

EBy Cable to The Associated Press.l
ST. PETERSBURG, May IA. 1S97.-A
most important semi-oficial announce
ment was made today 1t was, in sub
stance that in well informed Russian
quarters, evidently the Foreign Office
here, the belief prevails that it will be
difficult if notimpossible, to pre-
vent the forces of the Sultan of
Turkey from continuing the occupation
of Thessaly@a after peace between Turkey
and GreecN is concluded. This is a
serni-official intimation. though possibly
only a ballon d. essai, that Russia may
not be opposed to the permanet adminis-
tration, if not annexation, of Thessaly to
the Turkish Empire.

DID A PILE OF THINKING.
Kiernan's Jury View Spoiled Cell
inga Caused by a AeakY Roof.

Small groups of people stood around
the City Hall this morning and craned
their necks in watching a man painting
the flag staff on the main tower First
he scraped the staff, then caulked it
and finally put a coat of paint on it.
When the flag staff is finished he and
his colleagues will paint the roof.
For the past two days men have been
hunting for the leaks and endeavoring,
if possible, to get rid of them. There are
one or two dead ends left by the con-
tractor, who is now suing the city for
little bill of s26,00 but these he refuses
to make sound. AS a consequence the
ceiling in the library of the Corporation
Counsel and Attorney is in a terrible
state. T he plaster is peeling off and the
ceiling near the big joist is cracked The
ceiling in the business room of the Board
of Education is in a similarly bad state,
and the jury in the Kiernan case who
were brought down to view the ceilings
saw the result of the leaky roof, they
did q pile of thinking.

o'clock this afternoon from the home of
his parents, No 16 Westervelt street. The

CREDITORS WANT THEIR MONEY
HUFF Died Penniless Before Re
ceiyfng a Fortune

The creditors of the late John Huff
says a New York evening paper. today,
are besieging Lawyer Robert Carey, of
this city, for monies and goods loaned to
Huff. Mr.. Carey's client one day found
himself heir to a fortune of four mil
lions of dollars bequeathed to him by a
Californian Huff at that time was living
in Plainfeld, the good citizens of which
place were anxious to serve him and gave
him unlimited credit When they heard
of Huff's death and that he had not re-
ceived any part of the big fortune they
rushed to Huff's lawyer and obtain some
comfort from him.
The source from whence the millions
Were to appear was the estate of Charles
B. Easthoff, who at early age formed an
attachment for Huff and left him his
heir. An uncle contested the will Pend
ing the hearing Huff died and the credit
ors now demand a settlement for the
monies loaned to Huff while he was wait
ing for his fortune.

lied only last year and it is asserted
that the work was done in an exceed
ingly slip-shod manner. Commissioner
Heintze promised to have such repairs as
possible made to the road at once, so as
to prevent its utter destruction.
Commissioner Heintze reports that he
has found that all public work last year
was done apparently without regard to
specifications
Mayor Hoos has not had time to look
over the report of the financial condition
of the Fire Board. He says he will not
discuss finances until the several reports
he has asked for have been sent in. The
other reports are expected tomorrow
The Police Board meets this afternoon
1t Is expected that Justice Potts will be
returned to the First Criminal Court.
Justice Ncvin, who was detailed to pre-
side in the First Immediately after
his appointment by Mayor Wanser
has not made any effort to oppose the
proposed change. He insists, however,
that if he goes on the Hill his clerk,
James T. Norton, must accompany him.
1t was reported today that the object
in changing the Justices was to get at one
of the clerks who was retained much
against, the wishes of certain Repubh-
cans. Justice Nevin, however. by taking
his clerk wherever he goes will check
that game Chief of Police Murphy is
particularly anxious, it is said. to have
Justice Potts preside in the First Grim
inal Court.
Under the present fee system the First
Criminal Court is better paying than the
Second. That is one reason why Justice
Potts is anxious to get, down town. To
equalize matters. he proposes that he
and Justice Nevin sit in the down town
court a month apiece, alternately.
Police Commissioner Feeney may op-
pose the transfer of the Police Justices
1t is also reported that if Justice Potts
insists upon remaining down town, his
right to resign and be reappointed for a
full term will be contested
The Tax Commissioners have started
to make the new assessment. Commits

tive to removals. and was approved
March 81, 1897. The act provides, first,
that Union soldiers, sailors and marines
shall be preferred for appointment and
promotion on all public works in the
cities or towns, ETC.. of the State.
Then the act goes on to say:-"And no
person holding a position by appoint
nent or employment in the State of
New Jersey, or of the several cities,
counties, towns or villages thereof, and
receiving a salary or per diem pay from
the State or from any of the several
cities, counties towns or villages thereof,
who is an honorably discharged soldier.
sailor or marine. having served as such
in the Union army during the war of the
rebellion and who shall not have served
in the Confederate army or navy, shall
be removed from such position or en-
ployment except for fncompetency or
misconduct shown, after hearing, upon
due notice, upon the charge made. and
with the right to such employe or APP
pointee to review by writ of GER
tiorari; refusal to allow the preference
provided for in this act to any honorably
discharged Union soldier, sailor or
marine. or reduction of his compensa-

office which he holds for the purpose of
effecting his dismissal shall be deemed a
misdemeanor and such honorably dis
charged Union soldier, sailor or marine
shall have a right of action therefor in
any court of competent jurisdiction for
damages, and also remedy for man

same; but the provisions of this act
shall not be construed to apply to the
position of private secretary or deputy of
an official or department or to any other
person holding a strictly confidential
position"
1t will thus be seen that the situation
is rather serious for the Street and Wa

THE TURKISH ADVANCE
!. [Rv Cahle M The Assnciatad press !

by Gable to The Associated Pressl
ATHENS. May IA, 1s97.-Advices re-
ceived today from the headquarters of
the Greek army at Domokos announce
that the Turkish forces are executing
movements which are believed to fore
shadow an attack upon the Greek posi-
tion.
It is reported that the Turkish left
wing has evacuated Almyros and is NOV
ing towards Pharsalos, to the right rear
of that place. and it is further stated
that General Smolenski, commanding the
Greek right wing, has re-occupied
Almyros and has restored telegraphic
communication with the Greek head
quarters. Unless the rearward move
ment of the Turks is the result of the
action Of the powers, it is believed to
indicate that the Turkish Commander-in-
Chief. Edhem Pasha, is again concen-
trating his troops preparatory to making
a general attack upon the main Greek
stronghold
