Luzerne house. young Bradford's vis-
its-he lived at Wilkesbarre-were in
frequent, but now he was coming over
every day.
The people were not long in doubt
as 10 the particular attraction of Black
Hollow for the mine presidents son.
After time, he kept horse and buggy
at the hotel stable, and nearly every
afternoon he and Kate drove out of the
sooty depths and up to the sunlit, pine
covered hills--and a handsome, joyous
couple they were.
Peter Grier would have been less of
q man had he regarded with indiffer-
ence the growing intimacy of Dick
Bradford and Kate; and that the possi-
bilities were not disagreeable was evil
dent by the pleased look on his forid
face as he watched the buggy disap-
pearing up the Hazleton hill.

was too slow" Ought to've won when
lie had things his own way" There's
no dependin' on women" "Well. what's
to be, must be-" These things the
quiet, observant people said one to the.
other.
Then they noticed a change in Rufus
linton, or rather he changed back to the
old way as to dress. Always quiet, he
became quieter. At night the lights in
his room told he was at his books again,
undisturbed by the music in the room
below.
Dull in the summer, Black Hollow was
doubly dull and looked doubly desolate
in midwinter. Even the snow, so daz-
zlingly pure and white on the hills, was
black in the valley. The faces of the
miners, even when off duty, looked
more grimy than in the summer, and
the children, coasting through dark
snow, looked like imps.
The monotony of previous winters
had always been broken into by a ball
at the Luzerne house in the Christmas
holidays. This winter was not to be
an exceptions; indeed, Teter Grier, with
the support and approval of his daugh-
ter, determined TO outdo oil his pre-
vious efforts. Not only the surrounding
mining villages, but the towns in the
Wyoming valley were notified OF the
great event. and as the sleighing prom
ised to be the best an unusual attend
ance was expected.

Inheritance Tax.

ALBANY, December 7.-George j.
Could is making q hard fight in the
Court of Appeals TO keep from paying
taxes on 100000 which he received from
the estate of his father, Jay Gould.
The heirs Of the late railway king are
also battling against the New York city
Surrogate's appraisal of the estate Tor
the purpose of taxation at SSOOOOOO.
The taxing of Georges 100000 hinges
on the question whether the young man
earned the money, or whether IL was an
out-and-out gift from his father. IL ne
earned the money he need not pay the
inheritance tax; but If it was present,
then he has got to step. up ana pay taxes
on IL like a. five-million heir. 49,
Surrogate Fitzgerald decided in July,
1896. that George Gould earned the wv
O1O The state and City Comptrolers nave
appealed the case. -.
The executors OF the Gould estate CON
tend that the property was vastly over
estimated when II was placed at $'oWJ ,
600 They also object to the, method oi
valuing securities, and incidentally re
mark that the amount allowed Tor thel
commissions was too small.
jay Gould. on November IL, 1872, signed
a PAPER by which his son George received

son had shown great business ability, had
DEVOTED himself TO his father for twelve

business for FIVE years.
Mr.. Gould thought that his sons SER

George county, met with an accident this
morning which may probably cost him
his life. DR.. Rowland lives some eight
or nine miles from Petersburg. This
morning he left his home I'm his buggy
to visit a patient, and carried with him,
as was frequently the case his double
barrelled gun-one barrel being loaded
with buckshOt and the other with turkey
or Il. b. shot How the accident occurred
is not known, but somehow the barrel
of the gun containing the turkey-shot
was discharged while the Doctor was
driving along the road about three miles
from home, and the load passed into his
left side, causing an ugly and dangerous
wound The gun fell out TO the ground
at the discharge. and the horse went on
some distance before the Doctor sufh-
GENTLY recovered from the shock TO stop
the animal. He had strength enough 10
crawl out Of the buggy and lie down on
the side Of the road, where he was SUBJ
seduently found by two Of his neigh
bors-W. H. c. Spiers and r. 5. Lookett-
who happened TO be travelling that road.
They carried DIR. Rowland TO his home
and at once summoned medical assist
ance from Petersburg, Drs. II. G.. Leigh
and r. ID. McIlwaine responding Dr.
Rowland was able 10 tell about the ac-
cident. but did not know how the gun
was discharged. 1t is supposed that IL
must have been caused by the jolting OF
the buggy, or In moving the gun, the
muzZle of which was pointing towards
his side. 1t Is supposed the lung was In
jured.
DIR. Rowland is well known in our city,
and the news Of his serious injury caused
much regret. At late hour this evening
he was resting easily.
