EXPRESS COMPANIES READY.
Now to Pay the State Taxes
Without Further Fight

Lawrence Maxwell, of Cincinnati, legal
representative of the Adams, American and
United States express companies i'm the tax
litigation, was in the city yesterday and
called upon the attorney general, in COM
pany with Edward Daniels, local counsel
of the companies. Mr.. Maxwe declared
that the companies were ready TO surrender
without any further fight on the subject,
and had been ready to pay their taxes as
soon as the matter could be adjudicated,
but he thought that, inasmuch as the State
would collect a 90 per cent. penalty for
two years taxes, or a whole years
taxes, he thought the other pen
atty of 16 per cent. ought TO be thrown off.
The matter was talked over informally at
some length. and the attorney general
finally declared that the power to do this
lay with the tax board, not with him. Mr..
Maxwell replied that it would hardly be
worth while TO apply to the tax board. un-
less he would recommend it, and Mr..
Ketcham declined to say what his recon-
mendatiOn TO the board would be until
called Upon TO make 1t.
The course of the ak developed the fact
that the averments in the complaint as to
the amount of taxes due from the COM
panies were incorrect. having been simply
Appropriated, and before the companies
can settle il will be necessary TO get accu-
rate information from the various counties
upon which to compute the amount due.

MIR. LIEBER's SIDE OF 1T.
Only Fair. He Thinks, that Outsiders
SEouId Pny n Tax.

Albert Lieber denies that a local beer
trust has been formed. AS TO the Smith
ordinance which is now before the Council,
Mr.. Lieber was quoted in an afternoon
paper yesterday as follows:
IT am not the person to interpret the
ordinance. If the new ordinance includes
bottling houses. which have heretofore es-
capped, there can certainly be no objection
10 il on that account. There IS no reason
why they should not pay. Why should the
Schlitz beer, from and the De-
troit Company beer be bottled here and
the bottles go free of tax? Those brew
cries paw no taxes here, ana they can
be reached by this license tax. The In
d~ianapolis Brewing Company will continue
to pay 5000 a years., 600 on each of the
breweries in the syndicate. When the for
mer ordinance was passed taxing the brew
cries here the Metzger .bottling agency es-
capped. The bottlers were in the original
ordinance, but by some pull the clause
affecting them was stricken out. The new
ordinance is not complete, as under it
bottled goods can be sold I'm this city by
agents sent from Cincinnati and other
places, who will compete with lis and not
pay a cent. Other lines OF business are
protected from outside competition, and
think we should be. as we are taxpayers"

FAD FOR STEALING VALISES.


George L. Marshall is the name given by
a man about sixty years of age. who is
in the police station, charged witt stealing
various articles from the Union Station.
For some time past valises and other arti-
cles Of hand baggage AVE been missed at
the station. Superintendent Zion employed
Constable Hughes and a Pfnkerton detec-
tive TO catch the thief. Yesterday morning
Hughes arrested Marshall as he was leaV-
ing the station with an overcoat. After his
arrest Marshall told Of other things he
lad stolen. He had left a valise at the
Oneida Hotel, a valise at the Sherman
House, and a valise and a physicians case
at the Occidental. The valise at the Occi-
dental bears the name of Arthur II. Scrib-
nCr. and papers in il Indicate that the

zine. Marshall admitted his guilt. He
seems to be a confirmed morphine fiend.
He says poverty drove him to stealing.

A GREWsOME DISCOVERY.
Human Skeleton Dug Up on the. Var
mouth Road.

The workmen who are engaged in ex-
cavating for the new Portland and Var
mouth road made a grewsome discovery
on Tuesday. They were dragging through
bank about five feet higher than the
roadway just beyond the cemetery and
the Brown chapel ON the Yarmouth road
when they found several bones of a human
skeleton, including the skull and other
bones of full grown man. Near by the
workmen dug up sort of stone wall
which looked as if it had been constructed
by man. There were several other sl1ele-
tons discovered in the vicinity but whether
they were those of human being or not
it could not be told by those who made
the find.
Some of the neighbors in the vicinity
say that there was once an old block
house situated where these bones were
found while others claim that the skeleton
was that of an Indian. 1t is expected
that more discoveries of this nature will
be made and seekers after Indian relics
are haunting the place where the italian
laborers are at work

intoxicated at the time and that he took
good aim and fired tea cup at her. The

obliged to take four stitches. Roach was
sentenced to sixty days in jail and ordered

CELEBRATIONS BOOM.
How the People of Portland Are Taking
Hold of this Affair.

Within the last two days Portland IS
celebration has taken decided boom.
Every man, woman and child in the city
is interested in the preparations that are
being made for their entertainment on
July 9Th, and all seem disposed to put
their shoulders to the wheel and push the
thing along to great success.
A notable instance of what can be done
by few lively and up-to-date gentlemen
is the subscription paper which was
circulated among the insurance men of
Portland who are engaged in both the
fire and life business. In a few days Mr..
Pinkham of Dow & Pinkham had pledged
nearly $500, and this money came from
men who will not be very largely bene-
fitted in direct way by this celebration,
but who believe that the interest of the
city requires that this show should be a
big one. This is only one case of the
kind. The various trades, wholesale
and retail, manufacturers and jobbers are
getting into line with large subscriptions
and the public spirit that is being mani
tested is indeed creditable to Portland.
That the people are very anxious to see
the Mardi Gras floats and are willing to
pay well for the privilege there is no
doubt. Every one is helping to push this
affair along and if Portland does not see
the greatest celebration in her history it
will be very surprising.
AS far as the trades procession is con-
cerned there seems to be no limit to the
amount of enthusiasm that it being dis
sent word to the committees agent that
they desire places in line and some of
the displays that are to be made will be
very elaborate. So far over 40 concerns
have expressed desire for positions in
lines and this with little solicitation on
the part of the committee. One of the
handsomest exhibits will be that which
is to be made by the Casco Bay Steam
boat company. This company will put
into the parade a beautifully decorated
float designed as a representation of a cot
ton field. There are to be q dozen or more
negroes on this float besides negro brass
band and the whole will be carriedsout
as finely as Capt. George Brown, who
has theSmatter in charge can do 1t.
This is only one of the designs which
are to appear in this trades parade out.

Persons desiring good positions in line
in this parade and merchants who are
DESTROYS of helping to make this affair a
most creditable one to Portland would
do well to communicate with Mr.. 81
NJ Bigelow at the PRESS Office at once.
