values while new business was responsible
for the increase on the personal values.
When the Commissioners heard the
values of Weehawken read by Assessor
John O'Donnell they sighed, and there was
a same-old-story look on their faces. Wee

official sides. To put a little wholesome
activity into that sleepy part Of the coun-
ty the Board last year added twenty-five
per cent. to their values. The valuation
last year was 81. 206, 05G,. which with the IS
per cent. added (s551 .512) jumped up the

New buildings and the loop Of the

slble for the increase in the realty, and
new busine such as telegraphs and rail-

HIS TEETH IN EVIDENCE
F. H. WORKMAN, AN OLD GERMAN
CITIZEN, IN THE JUSTICE COURT.
Had Trouble with NeighbOr Earring
Thoman & Thoman Partnership.

A neighborhood row and ree-for-all fight
was the topic for discussion in Justice Lock-
mans court yesterday. The different phases
OF what appears to have been sort of feud
of two years standing occupied the entire
day. Justice Lockman this morning will
pass judgment in the case. Six men and
boys were implicated in the charges.
F. III. Workman is an old German who
makes business Of herding cows, and it
seems in the course of his work he has en-
gendered the ill-will of Henry Forsinger,
who lives at No. 1912 Rural street The
large herd of cows has been an eyesore to
the latter for many months, and he claims
the herd has been a nuisance. Many times
words have passed. between the two men,
and fist fights have only been narrowly
avoided. On the Fourth of July, as claimed,
Workman allowed large herd of cows to
stand in the alley behind Forsingers house
the entire day. Finally Forsinger went out
and ordered Workman to drive the cows
away Workman refused, saying the alley
was public property, and that he would
keep the cows there as long as it was con-
venient. From angry words they passed to
blows. and Workman, it is claimed, used a
whip, which he was carrying, with good eff
feet on Forsinger's back At this stage
George Forsinger, seeing that his father
was possibly getting the worst of the al
fray ran to his assistance. AS a result
Workman was. Knocked down and came up
with four teeth loosened. He introduced
tfem at the trial yesterday as evidence of
the violence used Workman, after being
Knocked down, called for help and three
boys. Philip Leppert, Ed Pake and Martin
Hunger, ran forward and took hand in
the light. All six participants were arrest
cd, AND the lawyers had a good time ex-
planning things yesterday

CLEVELAND, o., July 2S.-Twelve thou
sand people were at the Chenille track this
afternoon in anticipation of the fine sport
that always comes on the next to the last
day of the meeting. The weather was fine

In consequence only two races, the 2:23 trot
and the POS pace, were started and finished.
In the 2:23 race Directum Kelly, winner of
the M. and NJ stake at Detroit, was hot
favorite, selling in the pools at 100 against
80 for the field, which included True
Chimes. Directum Kelly proved that the
confidence in him was not misplaced, for he
won the three heats with ease finishing in
the first and second heats six or eight
lengths ahead of True Chimes and Belle

favorite at so to So before the first heat of
the 2:0S pace and he became great favorite

to be serious question as to whether or
not the Blues would ever get man, to third

never have scored afterward. Stewart hit

Partnership Difficulties Aired in the
Probate Court.

In the Probate Court yesterday Attorney
Merle Walker, acting in the absence of
Judge OBryan, took UP the petition asking
that the condition. of the Thoman & Thornan
partnership be investigated. This firm has
been dealing in boots and shoes on Virginia
avenue, and last Monday a deed of assign
ment was filed, naming DR.. B. NJ. Wylie
assignee. The petition for an investigation
was filed by Henry W. Thoman, who claims
that his cousin Clement Thoman. made the
assignment without authority. He says that
Clement Thoman is manager of the store
but is not partner. Although the Thomans
advertised themselves as partners, the pc
ttioner declares no partnership exists In
his petition, Henry W. Thoman asserts that
he is solvent and that there is no reason
for an assignment He asks that the action
taken by Clement Thoman be set aside
by the court and that he be given possession
of the stock of boots and shoes. Attorney
Walker said yesterday evening that unless
1t is shown that emergency existed for
the action taken by Clement Thoman he
would probably declare the assignment void
to-day Clement Thoman insists he is a
full partner, and he claims the firm is in
solvent. fsrN

THEY RANG THEIR BELLS,
And the Sound Was Irritating to Mrs.
Rebecca Cuttings.


Rebecca Cuttings.
Bad streets and good sidewalks are giving
the justice courts a lively run of business
Several evenings ago Samuel Crawford, with
his wife and Paul Van Tuyl started out on
their wheels for an evenings ride. In the
course of their wanderings they came to
West Seventeenth street, where for a short
distance the street is very bad and unfit for
cycling. They took the sidewalk, which is
improved, and found it necessary to ring
their bells for Mrs Rebecca Cuttings, who
lives in that neighborhood, to step out of
their way. She was indignant and when
they had passed her hurled a stone after
them which struck young Van Tuyl on the
head and injured him painfully. Mr. Craw-
ford on the following day. brought pro-
ceedings against Mrs. Cuttings for assault
and battery in Justice Habich's court and
the woman pleaded guilty and paid her fine
But she also filed a. cross complaint in
Justice Searss court. and the three wheel
riders were arrested for riding on the side
walk In the trial yesterday two policemen
appeared who acknowledged they had given
permission for riding on the sidewalk past
the poor stretch of roadway on West Sew
enteenth street. The case will be finished
this morning and a finding made by the
justice.

ENCAMPMENT SOUVENIRS.
Pitts & Smith, Who Undertook the
Work, Have Given 1t Up.

A number of people have inquired what
has become of the firm of Pitts & Smith,
who had an office in the Fitzgerald build
ing, and had secured the contract for pub
fishing the souvenir programme of the
knights of Pythias encampment. At the
Knights Of Pythias headquarters it is said
that because of fear that Pitts & Smith
could not get the programme out in time,
the work was taken out of their hands, and
will be carried on by the officials of the en-
campment themselves Frank Bowers of
the x. of p, says he knows nothing of
Pitts 81 Smiths business affairs. The office
of the firm was on the fourth floor of the
building. An inquirer found the door
locked, and the elevator operator said the
people who had occupied the room were
gone.

WILL REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR.
Labor Commissioners Go to Anderson
to Investigate Wire and Nail Trust.

to Investigate Wire and Nail Trust.
State Labor Commissioners Mccormack
and Schmid were again delayed in getting
away to Anderson, and it was not until
last night that they arrived there. They
have no hope of settling the strike in the
wire nail works. They simply go to inves-
tigate the trouble and make a special report
to the Governor. The state officials wish to
secure information which may aid in prose
cutting the National Wire and Nail Trust
under the federal antitrust statutes. The
Governor is in sympathy with the strikers
and is of the opinion that the trust is vio-
lating the United States law. 1t is expected
it will not be long before proceedings are
begun against the trust in the United States
District Court. Attorney General Ketcham
has assured the Governor that the state
antitrust law is too fiimsy to catch trusts
and besides. as the Wire and Nail Trust
controls IS per cent. of the output of the
country, it should be prosecuted under the
federal law.

In his biennial report to the Governor At
torney General Ketcham, it is said, will pay
attention to the whitecapping cases in Rip
ley county. From this and other similar
cases he will draw the conclusion that they
occur because of the insufficiency of rural
police. The attorney general thinks that in
many cases the farmer is forced, for his
own protection, 10 take both his shotgun
and the law into his own hands.
