The 1893 Taxes.

The most important thing done
the present term of the commits
sioners' court is the tax levy for
1898. Although Lavaca county is
building a zine court house and
has more substantial iron bridges
than any other county in South
west Texas, its tax rate is lower
than that of any other county we
know of. The court levied the
same tax that was levied last year
viz: 90 cents. Here are the items
COUNTY,
General Advalorem, 22c.
Road and bridge, 15c.
Court House tax, 12c.
Road and Bridge, 05c.
STATE.
General Advalorem, Zoe.

FOUR FAMOUS WOMEN.
Their Portraits Will Be Carved In
the Albany Capital.

Albany n. Y, Jan. 3O.-Superintendent
of Public Works Aldridge has decided on
some changes in connection with the ar
tistic work of the grand stairway in the
capitol building. One of the features of
the stairway is the carving of distin-
guished personages' heads in the cap of
the columns. There has been some criti-
cism of this work. on the ground that
some of the personages whose memory 1t
has been sought to honor have not been
of distinguished character When Super
intendent Aldridge took charge he en-
deavOred to overcome some of the criti-
cism, the outcome of which was that some
of the heads that had been cut We're re-
moved and others re-cut. He also decided
that the heads of the governors should be
carved in the space below the dome of the
stairway, instead of indiscriminate sub
jects- There are not to exceed a dozen
spaces for heads remaining uncut. In
all the artistic work. the part which wo-
man has taken in history has been over
looked for the face of not one single dis
tinguished woman looks down upon the
visitor. 1t is this discovery that has led
to the change of plans referred to- and
caused Superintendent Aldridge to an
nounce that he has selected four women
as types representing woman in four dis
tinct spheres and giving directions that
their portraits shall be carved in the
stairway caps. These four women are

Stowe. Clara Barton and Susan B. An

PLUNDERED THE OLD MAN BY
WHOLESALE.
Career of a Baltimore Gambler and
Thief Who Married a Rich Mans
Daughter.

New York. Jan. SO.-Moses Rosenstock
was arraigned in the Center street police
court today on the complaint of his faith
er-in-law, David Wilson, of Baltimore, as
a fugitive from justice He was held
pending the arrival of recuisition papers
from Baltimore. Rosenstock was arrested
last night.
Mr. Wilson. the complainant is the
senior member of the millionaire turnl-
ture manufacturing firm of David Wilson
* Son, Baltimore.
Thirteen years ago, according to the
story told by Mr.. Wilson in court today,
Rosenstock was compelled, through his
gambling debts and entanglements, TO
leave Germany. He came to this coun-
try and after a short residence in BaIti-
more. married Mr.. Wilson's Oldest
daughter. despite her fathers objection.
Soon after that Rosenstock was given
an important position with his father-in-
laws firm. but after paying attention 10
business for Il few months. Rosenstock
again plunged deeper than ever into d1Ssl-
patton. One day came the refusal of one
of the firm 5 largest customers to pay
bill OF over $4,000. which. II IS claimed.
according to Mr.. Wilson. had been paid
to Rosenstock months before. Then con-
frOnted with the evidence. Rosenstock
but the matter was settled for time by
RosenstockS accepting few hundred
dollars and leaving town. He left his
wife and five children behind.
and Mr.. Wilson states discovered that
Rosenstock was $4,000 short in his ac-
counts. This was in 1896 His dissipa-
ton in Baltimore said Mr.. Wilson in
court today. had already cost me over
$4,000. and when l found he had been
robbing me besides. l determined to pun
ish him severely if ne could be found"
For year and more detectives secured
the country for Rosenstock. He went,
they learned. to Philadelphia, and after
being in the employ of firm there for a
few months, disappeared, having de-
faulted in small sum. Later he went
to Pittsburg and, according TO the story,
did practically the same thing over again.
RosenstOck had nothing to say when
arraigned today and greeted his fathsr-in-
law with downcast eyes. He showed
little emotion when told by Mr.. Wilson
that during the two years he had been
absent two of his children had died. After
he was remanded to that TOmbs. Rosen-
stock said he would prepare a statement
showing the amount of money he had
taken from Mr.. Wilson.

sation was created here last night,
when it became noised about the city
that Second Lieutenant Joseph Drips,
the missig soldier, was here. The man
suspected arrived on the afternoon
train from the north Friday. He was
drunk, shabbily clothed and appa-
rently badly muddled mentally, but has
a military bearing and bears some re
semblance to the picture of Lieutenant
Drips publishd in last Tuesdays Her
aid 1t happened that the militia men
of company K were out in uniform last
evening. and as he staggered down the
street the unknown man saluted them
all. He was questioned as to his home
and career, and showed a knowledge
of several forts with which Drips is
familiar, but refused TO tell whence he
came. Last night and this morning he
approached a number of citizens, beg
ging small sums OF them, and at va
rious times representing himself to be
a lawyer, editor, soldier and tailor Tie
officers got wind of this and inter
viewed the fellow, but do not believe
tonight that he is the missing lieuten-
ant.

DEMAND ON UTAH COUNTY.
Suit to Recover the Proceeds of a
Tax Sale.

Provo, Jan. 3O.-Since the year 1890
suit has been pending against Utah
county, the plaintiffs in which are
Clara L. Mccormick, Ellen Mccormick,
James, Samuel and John Mccormick
and Annie Brown.
In the year above mentioned Susan
Mccormick was the owner of piece of
property located in this county which
was sold for taxes by Collector w. II.
Brown for $3.50 to Cornelius Baxter
The tax upon the property was $21 03,
which made surplus of S42S.97. sub
ject to the order of the parties en-
titled thereto. County Clerk V. l..
Halliday conveyed the property thus
sold to the purchaser Baxter in De-
cember, 1892, as it had never been re-
deemed by the owner. Since that time
a demand has been made upon the
county for the sum of S42S97 by the
plaintiffs. On the 18th day of March
this claim was disallowed by the county
and the plaintiffs claim it is still due.
The persons named as plaintiffs in this
action are the heirs of Susan McCor-
mick
1t was claimed by the county officers
that these parties were not the
proper persons to bring suit. that it
should be the administrators of the
estate. The complaint was also de-
INJURED to because it did not set forth
who the county officers were who ap-
propriated the residue of this tax sale.
Elmer Z. Corfman, attorney for the
plaintiffs, will appear in court tomor-
row and answer the demurrer and will
also ask that a time be set for the
trial of the case
