Yesterday morning well known citi-
zen, who is contractor. was before
the Mayor upon a warrant sworn out
by his 20-year-old daughter, who
charges him with cruelty beating her
with tree limb. She claims that II ID
not the first time that It has occurred: .
that she has been compelled to leave
nome on account of his treatment.
She was represented by Major Crocker.
attorney for the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children. A num-
Der Of lady witnesses were present to
testify in the case.
The gentleman said that he had been
hastily summoned before His Honor
without knowing what 1t was for, and
that he had not had time to have Wit
nesses summoned in his behalf. and
asked the court to continue the case
until to-day.
Major Crocker said that he would be
absent from the city for several DAYS
and asked that 1t be continued until
next Monday. which was granted. The
accused was placed under q bond of 500
for his good behavior until the time.
Just what the outcome will be re-
mains to be seen, and until the trial
takes place names. ETC.. will be sup
pressed. as The Virginian does not care
to do either party an injustice

New York. Oct. 19-The undertoue of
to-day's market was one Of strength
throughout. The volume of transa ctions
was not large and there were prolonged
periods Of dullness when trading was
practically stagnant, but the operations
OF important interests, which were
prominent In the late bull market, were
manifest The tone of yesterdays mar
ket had apparently determined large
professional operators to undertake q
movement for a rise to-day.
The strength of the market developed
first In the Vanderbilts. Michigan Cen
trail was the sensational feature in the
group with a jump of 5b points, but
nearly all of these properties, Including
Northwest and Omaha, were quite
buoyant and closed with net gains Of
1 to 3 points.
Sugar and Chicago Gas ranged over
nearly points and the covering of
shorts In these stocks on the rise was an
important element ,Cl the strength of
the market Dealings In Pullman were
on very large scale and over a range
or tx points. In estimating the sig
nihcance Of this movement It is to be
considered that the stock jumped yes
terdaN2A points on "a small tracs elton
such as often affects an. investment
stock. The close tonight is only half
point below the price ruling before
day continued favorable, railroad earn
ings showing Improvement. Louisville
aTld Nashville was a notable exception,
with a decrease in earnings of S7,700 for
the second week in October, due to con-
tinucd Interruption by yellow fever
guarantees. London continued to be a
good buyer in THE: New York market;
In fact, offered the principal support
during the early trading. The exchange
market showed q distinctively firmer
tendency, though the only announcement
OF gold from Europe was of the with
drawal for shipment to the United
States of e35,000 in gold from the Bank
of England. Gold, however is in tran
Sit from Australia to San Francisco.
The local money market continued easy,
and outside banks continued to take
"a large amount ofncommercial paper in
this market
A feature of the bond market was the
sale OF two blocks of 1885, 900 and 100000
respectively Of Union Pacific collateral
6s at unchanged prices.
Dealings in bonds were not on a large
scale. but prices generally showed i'm

LOcAL TAxEA

The tax roll is now in the
hands OF the township treasurer
and q few persons have already
paid their taxes. Some com
plants have been made because
the taxes are higher this year
than they were in 1896 This
IS not the fault OF the supervisor
for the property OF the township
Mas been assessed lower this
year than in any previous year
This year the taxes are higher
because the financial condition
of the county demanded that
there DO a larger tax spread for
The purpose of meeting the &C
tual expenses Of the county and
10 wipe out some Of It's outsiand
ing indebtedness. TO that end
the board OF supervisors wisely
spread on the tax rolls of the
several townships the sum Of
500, 900. If the taxes are all
paid this year the par value Of
an Iron county order will be one
hundred cents on the dollar and
the buying OF county orders at a
discount Of ten, fifteen and TWEEN
" per cent. will loo u thing OF
the past The township trca-
surers will also look in vain for
county orders TO buy, at the dis.
count named, with the county's
money. Such q change may
bring sorrow TO the homes of the
large tax payer aud the trea
Surers OF the townships. but il
will bring JOY To the merchants
aud To oil those who render scr.
vice 10 the county. The differ
enco In the amount OF taxes you
have To pay is not 80 great when
you consider that we have raised
t82. 600 moro county tax this
year than we did in 1896. We
would advise every tax payer
10 walk right up 10 the treasur.
ers Office and pay his real and
personal tax, before the tenth
day OF January and save u three
per cent. collection fee. IL will
Vet do TO just pay your personal
