MR.. MONTGOMERY'S SALARY.
Olivet Members Say the Pastor ReIeased
Them OF the Debt-The Pastor
Says No.

Rev. T. e. Montgomery has not yet re-
ceved the $500 due him as pastor of Olivet
Presbyterian Church and 1t is highly
probable than be never will receive it.
This is the intimation given ont by the
members of the church and on it Mr..
Montgomery rests.
1t was believed that one of the objects Of
the recent fair in Pyle's Cycle Academy
was to raise funds for the payment of the
debt, but those who had charge of the af.
fair deny that any OF the money raised will
bc used toward cancelling the debt. They
say they speak for the Congregation, the
members OF which now say, they owe the
former pastor nothing. They say that at
the time Mr.. Montgomery was pleading
his cause before the Presbyt terry he remark
ed that he would not insist ON the congre-
CATION paying bis back salary.
This Mr.. Montgomery denies and he
does not propose to abide with the decision
although he is not making a fight for the
money at present. He has said to u friend
that unless the congregation pays his claim
within two months legal action will bo
taken.
The present members Of the Church say
that the people who owo Mr. Montgomery
arc those who are now members of tho
Congregational Church.

NOVEL TAX COLLECTION.
Chicago Banks Made to Pay Up in
True Holdup Style. .,,..
REFUSED TO ACCEPT RECEIPTS.

The Banks Had Applied For an In
Junction Restraining the Collection,
Which Injunction Had Been Refused.
The Tax Gatherer Acted Promptly.
Chicago, March 9.-Several Chicago
bankers had a novel experience with
tax collectors yesterday. Two men en-
tered the First National bank just be-
fore noon and went directly to the CT
flee of the president. Without cere-
mony they addressed the Vice Presi-
dent, D. r. Forgan, and informed him
they wanted $85,273.12 in cash as quickly
as he could produce it. They told Mr..
Forgan THAI unless he paid over the
money without delay they would shut
the doors of the bank and help them
selves. 1t was case of the collection
of taxes under a decision of the su-
perior court. which refused to sustain
an injunction asked for by six banks
against South Town Collector Ernst
The bill sought to enjoin the collection
on the ground that the assessments
were excessive and fraudulent. The
banks affected were the First National,
Fort Dearborn National. Northwestern
ANdtiolidi INdllDHdl, bdIheTS IVA
tional and National Bank Of America.
The decision of Judges Shepard and
Freeman was pronounced yesterday
morning. Efforts to notify E. B. Toll
mag, counsel for the banks, failed,
, while the attorney for the South Town
collector, John ]. Rooney secured at
once a certified copy of the courts
order. Armed with this copy and with
special baliffs at their heels, Collector
Ernst and Attorney Rooney hastened
to the First National bank and de-
manded immediate payment of the tax
Mr.. Forgan was astoniSiied, and led his
visitors into the office Of the banks at
torney, Orville Pecl1ham.
This is news to me-" said Mr.. Peck
ham. you will allow me at least to
communicate with my associate So
licitors before going any further?"
Collector Ernst replied that he would
levy on the banks property instantly
unless the money was Forthcoming and
close the banks doors
I'VE have enough men to close this
bank" said Attorney Rooney.
After consultation Mr.. Peckham ad-
vised the payment of the tax rather
than risk such a disturbance to bust
ness as might follow Collector Ernst
was given sS5,273.12, with due notice
that his right to take the same was de-
MED
All that was required was sight Of
the warrant and little explanation to
the other bank officials. The Bankers
National paid over s132S6.15, the Fort
Dearborn National s9,726S9, the Globe
National s14. .39O,14 the Northwestern
National $23. 1852 and the American
National $19,36597.
Each bank protested and refused to |
accept q receipt from Collector Ernst
showing that the money had been |
taken in payment of taxes.

Mr.. Lane, who is said to have some Of
these ships for sale. though he does
not at present have the right, in the
case of the two small Brazilian bat
tleships now building at La Seinne,
In France.
As to these. or indeed any Brazilian
or Chilean warships, 1t has been dis
covered that Brazil and Chile are par
ties to a treaty by the terms Of which
neither country can sell any Of its war
ships unless the other sells a ship.
The reason for this peculiar provision
Is to be found in the alliance that Is re-
ported to have been entered into by
these two countries for mutual pro-
lection against Argentina and other

purchases may be made, even IL hos

A Crazy World.

An English statistician, basirg his con
clusions upon the average increase OF
of insanity during the past forty
years, has reached the conclusion that by
the year 230l there will be no further use
for insane asylums, as there will not be
sane persons enough to lock up the crazy
ones. The old Quaker was still more of a
pessimist when in u confidential mood he
said to his wife: 'Bettie, the whole world
Is off its balance, but thee and me; and
now / look little more closely, thee seems
a little peculiar, too" twas gratiflca-
ton to the old man that there was at least
one sane man in the world.
