SUPPLEMENTARY ASSESSMENTS
AS a Result of the -McCulley Pro-
ceedings.

The Bird McCulley suits to secure
five per cent Of all money loans made
by citizens and not reported to tax as
SCISSORS. have caused a great deal OF
unfavorable comment throughout the
city. but have had at least one good
effect.
A number of citizens who inadver-
tently neglected to acquaint assessors
with the knowledge that they had
loaned certain amounts, have become
frightened and have consulted the as
SCISSORS with view to making correc-
lions in their lists of personal prop
erty. Assessor Addison Israel is re-
ported to have made the statement
that his supplemental assessments
through this source will aggregate s7o,-
900 thus far, including $4,000 reported
by one citizen alone.

CONSOLIDATION
OF the Wheeling and B, B. 4 l. F.
Street Railways.--A Rumored Deal
Which Is Denied by Manager jolly
Of the B., B. & n. T.

Rumors Of deal between the Wheel
ing Street Railway Company and the
B., b. & NJ. F. company by which the
former company becomes the owner OF
the latter's road, cars, barn and plant,
were afloat yesterday. The deal, &C
cording to report, was cOnsummated
this week, and the Wheeling company
takes hold to-day. Assistant Manager
Frank Jolly and Secretary Bethel will
remain in the Office another month and
then the Wheeling company will take
charge in full. the office to be removed
to Wheeling.
Various improvements and changes
are talked of, according to the report,
which will facilitate the operation OF
the lines at a reduced expense. The
present terminus of the Wheeling lines
on Bridge street at Bridgeport will be
connected to the B., B. & NJ. F. road
and all cars for Martins Ferry and
Bellaire will run by way of Bridge
port. By running the Martins Ferry
cars by way of Bridgeport the COM
pany would save the money charged
fer allowing the cars to run over the
steel bridge at Aetnavilie.

cars, as two cars will be run on this
line direct to Wheeling.
Various events have been observed
of late that would lead to belief that
the rumor was we'll founded, and at
present Mr.. A. NJ Jolly, heavy stock
holder in the Wheeling company, and
brother of Manager J. K. jolly, OF
the B.. B. & M F. road is in town
and has been the past few days on bus
mess of some kind.
The fact that quite a number OF the
men employed on the road are under
the belief that the line has changed
hands this week would also tend toward
giving credence to the rumor- How
ever, Manager jolly, when seen by
Register reporter yesterday, said 1t was
an unfounded rumor. He stated that
there was nothing in it, any more imam
there had been in former rumors OF the
kind. He did state, though, that II is
probable that the two companies Will
consolidate on the Martins Ferry
end. in the use of the loop that is TO
be made by the extension Of the Wheel

is the two companies would use each

memorial services had been held dur
ing the year for Col John Walton, de-

ishing condition and that more money

poses than in former years.

crossing Main street near alley 8. and
as he is quite deaf he did not hear the
approach of an Island car. The mo

but as Mr.. He'll did not make any sign
that he had heard it, brought the car
to stop as soon as possible. This
was not accomplished. however, until
Mr.. He'll had been knocked down in
such a position that had the car adj
vanced a foot further his head would

The sudden death of Mr.. Frederick
Cony. in the prime of life, and with
every apparent promise of fullness of
years, came as distinct shock to the
people of Augusta, where he was born,
and in whose affairs he has always
taken an active interest. Mr. Cony was
a man of loyal nature. He was true 20
his friends at all times and under all
circumstances. He was social in his
instincts, and generous in his dealings.
His sympathies We're broad, and he
never lacked a kindly human interest
in those about him.
