Mr.. Rowland for the doctor, but he had

instead of going for the physician he
went to the store and secured bottle

Rowland's purchase at first, but never
theless applied the Balm thoroughly
and in an hours time was able to go to
sleep. She now applies it whenever
she feels an ache or pain and finds
that it always gives relief. He says

of DIR. Conaty as the new rector will de-
liver an address to the new incumbent.
DR. Garrigan will then formally transfer

considerable length. A reception will
follow, which will conclude the cere-
monies.

issued to the installation.

old. He was born in ireland, but has
lived in this country nearly all his life,
and is an American citizen. He was edu-
Gated at the College of the Holy Cross,
conducted by the Jesuits, at Worcester,

LONDON, Jan. 1s, 1S97.-A despatch
from Madrid to the Central News says that
the Tempo (newspaper) declares that

brought the Ministry to the verge of
crisis has been renewed and crisis is

The despatch also says that in the course
of an interview yesterday Senior Mores,

The Government of the United States
always works for peace. Cuba ought to
be guaranteed all of the conditions of pro-
gress''
Senor Pi MargaN, the eminent Spanish
Republican leader, is also reported to have
said in an interview
Peace ought to be made, not by hag-
Cling concessions, but by granting to
Cuba the fullest autonomy.
On the other hand, Senor Croigard,
leading Royalist, is credited with having
declared in an interview that whoever
permits the Spanish sovereignty of Cuba
to be shaken without drawing his sword
is a traitor to his country

FOR EQUAL TAXATION.
Commissioners of Appeal
Petition the Legisla-
ture for Relief.
RAILROAD INJUSTICE EXPOSED
The Board Shows How the Cor
porations are Continually
Taking Property Out
of the Tax Levy,
RAILROAD INJUSTICE EXPOSED

The Commissioners of Appeal, who. in
the review of valuations placed upon
property by the Tax Commissioners, are
able te estimate what part of the bur-
den of running the city is borne by
individuals and what part by corpora
tions, particularly railroads. have taken
up the cause of equal taxation in the
interests of the private property owners.
AT recent meeting the Commissioners
adopted the following preamble and reso-
lution:-
Whereas, In the discharge of our du-
ties as Commissioners of Appeals in
cases of taxation for the City of Jersey
City, our attention has frequently been
attracted to the fact that the railroad
corporations have for years past been
constantly increasing their holdings of
realty within the city limits, thereby
eliminating from the annual tax levy of
the city a very considerable portion of
the ratabies therein, which is detrimental
to the interests of the taxpayers and the
public at large, and thereby creating a
difficult problem to the city government
in the matter of justly apportioning the
necessary municipal tax so as not to
create undue hardship or the equivalent
Whereas, The entire area of the city
is IL. 423 acres, of which the railroads
have absorbed and taken out OF the rata
bies some 1881 acres, nearly 80 per cent.
more than one-half of which has been
so absorbed within the past twelve years;
and
Whereas, The said railroad property
embraces almost the entire water front
OF the city, granted to them by the Leg
islature for comparatively small con-
sideration; and
Where cas-, The present system, If allow
ed to continue. must eventually produce
greater hardship and injustice to the tax
payers of this city, by reason of the un-
Just discrimination in the levying of taxes
as between private property and that con-
Irolied by railroad corporations; and the
fact that only a portion of the tax col
Iected by the State on railroad property
within the city, although assessed at a
reduced rate, is returned to the city au-
thorities for the expenses of municipal
government; and
Whereas, Public sentiment on this ques-
ton has been aroused to such an ex-
tent that the taxpayers demand relief
from the Legislature; and
Whereas, The members of this Board
getic efforts of our Mayor, Hon Peter F.
Wanser. who has been a potent factor in
the steps already taken to afford the
people some relief in this matter; there
fore be it
Resolved That we petition the mem
bers of the Senate and General Assem-
bly,. and His Excellency the Governor to
unite in the formulation and execution of
legislation on this subject, which shall
produce the necessary relief to the tax
payers of this city; and
Resolved. That a copy of these resolll-
tions be forwarded to the members of
the Senate and Assembly and to His
Excelleney the Governor.
1t is expected that bill to revise the
present taxing system viii be introduced
in the Legislature tonight

TWO BOY MURDERERs.
Sent to Prison, Ono for Life, for fhe
killing of Woman.

SECO, Me-, Jan. 49, 1Ss7.-Frank J.
Palmer, Of West Parsonfield, aged is
years. pleaded guilty in the Supreme
Court this forenoon, to the charge of
murder of Mrs. Betsey R. Hobbs, of West
Parsonfield, on October last. Charles
B. Savage, Jr., of Efflngham, N. H., aged
20, pleaded guilty to being accessory af-
ter the fact. Palmer was sentenced to
State Prison for life and Savage for six
years. Both boys appeared calm when
arraigned.
Mrs Hobbs, their victim, was IS years
old, and lived alone near the village of
South Effingham. Palmer shot her in her
door yard, and was assisted by Savage
in carrying the dead body into the house,
the house being afterwards set on fire.
At the Coroner's inquest Savage weaken
ed and charged Palmer with the shoot
ing and with setting the fire.
Savage denied all previous knowledge
of and any participation In the crime,
except having assisted in carrying the
body in the house. He said Palmers S
motive was revenge, Mrs. Hobbs having
long ago made him pay for glass that he
broke in her house. While in jail Palmer
his motive was robbery. Savage was in
dicted jointly with Palmer, but a con-
sultaticn between the Attorney General
and the County Attorney resulted in
decision to arraign Savage on the lesser
charge
