Added to Unpaid Taxes.
"On the first Monday in December of
each year, at o'clock p. m, all unpaid
taxes become delinquent, and thereafter
the county treasurer must collect for
the use of the county an addition of
10 per cent"
The above section of the political
code went into effect last evening.
There still remained about SIG, 900 of un-
paid taxes. Out of that amount some
thing like $1,000 is expected to have
come in by the mail yesterday. The
mail has not yet been opened, as Mr..
Hallahan had been kept busy all day.
The crowd that surged his Office dur
Ing C.lice hours was enormous. AL
though the amount taken in yesterday
amounted to only $4,000, more people
visited the Office than on Saturday,
when $4,000 was taken in. The
amounts yesterday were all small ones.
All the big amounts had been paid in
last week.
There was $4,000 taken in at the
wicket and $1,000 is expected to have
come by mail. which leaves $40, 900 of de-
ilnquent taxes. which is less than last
year i'm proportion to the amount to be
collected. The correct figures of un-
paid taxes will not be known until to-
morrow.
The payment Of taxes has this year
been more than satisfactory.

RACING STARS SUSPENDED.
Chairman Mott Furnishes Rebel
Who Defy the League.

Chairman Mott Furnishes Rebels
Who Defy the League.
New York Sept. 24.-Chairman Mott has
made the stroke and suspended the lead
ing racing men who were shouting rebel
lion and defiance.
The word reached New York today that
Bald, Cooper, Mcfarland, Stevens, He'd
strom, Babcock, Anderson, Mosher and
Terrell and ali others who had been train
ing on the black-listed track at Berkeley
Oval were suspended pending investiga-
tion.
Gardiner is one of those who were
named by Manager Young as among the
defiant ones training on the track, but
his name is not explicitly mentioned in
the PRONUNCIATION of Chairman Mott.
Word was sent 10 a certain league official
in the city, however, to investigate and
it is supposed that Gardiner will be in
cuded by the phrase "and all others"
The men named had only defied the
rules and declared that they were ready
/ to form an organization in antagonism
to the league. They boasted that all the
racing men would hang together. but up
to the present time no organization has
been formed and the aspect of matters
is wholly changed by the suspension of
the rebels.
The remaining riders are entirely likely
to take a selfish view of the situation
and, recognizing how much better chance
they now have of getting the money and
the points at the remaining circuit meets,
! they are apt TO refrain from joining the
rebel camp and go after the purses and
| glory.
The prospect at present is that there
will be colored champion this year. Ma
! jor Taylor is now in second place, and
with Bald, the leader, and Mcfarland,
| third man, out of the fight, there is every
| reason why he should finish first, and
| especially as the remaining two meets, at
! which sixty points are to be counted for
| first place, are to be run on small tracks,
the one at Philadelphia being four laps
/ to the mile and that at Baltimore six
| laps. Major Taylor is excellent on small
| tracks of this kind, and Bald would have
| been his most formidable opponent had
| he remained in the fold and been able to
| ride. As it stands, Taylor should easily
win the necessary points to make him
champion.

there is already a good nucleus. There

last year won the League championship.

Renewal of the New Postofnce Labor
Trouble.

Trouble is said to be brewing again be-
tween the brickIayers employed on the
new city postoffice building and the sub
contractor for the brick work. The men
say that when they finished their week s
work yesterday afternoon their employer
was not on hand with the cash to pay
them off, and in consequence they were
compelled 10 go home to their families
without their wages.
This is repetition of the condition of
affairs which existed at the city post
office about two weeks ago, and which re-
suited in the bricklayers having TO wait
four days for their pay for the previous
weeks work.
AT that time it was said there was con-
siderable dissatisfaction among the other
members of organized labor employed on
the building, and it was feared that the
non-payment of the bricklayers would re-
suit in a general strike of the union men.
1t was stated last night that the brick
layers will wait until noon tomorrow for
their wages and if they are not forth
coming at that hour the other union men
employed on the building will walk OUT
on a sympathetic strike.
