BOSTON, Nov. 2S, lssS.The manage
ment Of the Portland Steamship CO.. an-
.nounced at noon today thai they had no
information as to the whereabouts of the
steamer Portland which left this city SAT-
urday night. for Portland. During the
fornoon a report was in circulation that
the Portland was at anchor in Gloucester
harbor but the captain Of the steamer
Glouscester, which arrived from that
port, says the Portland is not at Glou7
cester. The company has received a
despatch from Portsmouth stating that
their vessel has not put in at that port
A number Of steamers are at anchor IN

TAXES CONE IN RAPIDLY.
Citizens Flock to the Col
lector's Office to Pay
Their Assessments.

The rush to pay taxes began ait nine
o'clock this morning. City Collector
Davis had all his assistants in their
proper places and the work Of making
out bills, figuring interest and rebate
passed off with unusual smoothness. The
present clerical force OF the Collector s
office is practically a new one and 1t was
hardly expected that there would moi be
little confusion for a day or two until
the clerks became familiar with their
duties Collector Davis went into the
cashiers box himself and handled the
money that flowed IN with the alacrity
Of one WHO had spent many years in the
office.
Deputy Collector higgins sized up the
situation quickly and worked beside his
superior with the confidence of an old

of taxes when rebates have to be figured
few cents either way causes no end Of
difficulty. II is necessary for the Collee-
tors books to tally with the Comptrolieris S
to penny every night before any Of the
clerks of either office can go home. IN
the rush there are errors sometimes made
by the clerks making out the bills. but
all such mistakes as those are rectified by
the Board Of Finance.
This year the clerks have been instruet-
ed to exercise unusual care, as it is hoped
to have the rush season passed without
any great errors being made. Bills are
being made out in Room No. 16, the
room of the Commissioners of Appeal.
The Appeal Commissioners, during the
rush season, will meet in the Alder
manic Chamber. 1t was at first intended
to have the tax bills made out in the
Assembly Chamber but that would have
necessitated the carrying of the tax
books up and down stairs twice a day.
Room No. 16 is more convenient. II is
on the first floor Just across the hall
from the City Collecor's office. AS soon
as bills are procured taxpayers present
Secretary Tuttle presides. The bills,
when returned by him. are ready for
presentment for payment at the cashiers
window.
After payment is made the bill is sent
to the Comptroller and countersigned. It
is returned by a messenger and given TO
the owner. There were two long lines
in the Collectors office this morning. but
there was no confusion. Up to noon about
$50, 600 had been collected. and the indica-
tions are that heavy payments vii be
made this afternoon The Collectors
office will be open from nine until four
o'clock every day except Saturday The
Office will close at noon on that day.

GRAND REPUBLICAN.
Matt Quay Fighting His In
dictment for Theft
Purely Technical
Grounds.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. Is, 1895 The
case Of Senator Quay and others, charg
ed with conspiracy in the misuse Of the
money Of the State on deposit in the
PEOPLES Bank, came up today in the
Court of Quarter Sessions, Judge Fin
letter presiding.
The defendants. who are Senator NJ. S.
Quay, his son, Richard R. Quay, and
BENJAMIN T. Haywood, ex-state Treas
urer, We're not in court their interests
being looked after by Attorneys Rufus
q. shopley and A. S. L. Shields. Inn
mediately upon the opening of court At
! torney shopley filed demurrers to four
OF the fve indictments found against
the defendants by the Grand Jury and
also filed motion to quash the fifth in
dictment
Argument on these demurrers was pro-
ceeded with BY Mr.. Chopley In a gem
eral way the objections to the indictments
were based on contentious of insufficient
specifications, complete failure to charge
any unlawful act, and an absence of all
| legation that the defendants unlawfully
obtained any money either from the bank
OF from any other source.
II the defendants did, as the indict-
ments charge, purchase stocks and bonds
through Cashier Hopkins, as agent, Mr..
| shapley claimed that no unlawful act had
been committed. He claimed that the
banks every day act as purchasers for
their deposftors or customers. Regarding
the allegations respecting the use of State
moneys, he argued that all moneys de-
posted in a bank go into the general fund
of the bank and that therefore the indict-
ments are defective in charging misuse
OF State funds obtained from the Peoples
Bank. whereupon, if any money was OBJ
tanned from the bank it was funds Of the
Peoples Bank and not State funds.
Furthermore. these State funds were de-
posted in the bank by various State
Treasurers in full authority of law.
Upon conclusion of the arguments Of
Iessrs. shapley and Shields and the reply
Of District Attorney Graham the court
took the papers under advisement He did
not intimate when he would announce his
decision on the motions presented.
