NEW YORK, July 13.-Samuel j.
Tilden's estate, according to the exc
cutors' final account, amounted to
$500, 900. After the death Of Mr..
Tilden, in 1885. his will was found to
contain special bequests aggregating
81, SOC, 900, and practically all OF the
residue was left to establish a free
library in this city. Had his intention
in this respect been carried out. the
condition of the estate shows that
there would have been about 81, ,OOO, 600
to found this library, which would
have made of it what he hoped it to
be, one OF the best in the country.
Mrs. Mary B. Peyton, sister OF Mr..
Tliden, who would have been entitled
to one-half of his estate If he had left
no will, and half of his residuary estate
when the CLAUSE for the will was found
to be void, refused to allow her
brorher's scheme to fall through, and
made an agreement with the Tilden
Trust, through the executors, by which
she relinquishes her share of the estate
for about $1,000, 900, so that the re.
maiuder Of what she would have been
entitled to was left to establish the
| library. The New York public library,
Astor, Lenox and Tilden foundations,
have received from the estate 1885,
OBJ, which is s5,OOO,OOO less than the
amount Mr.. Tilden desired should be
devoted to his grand scheme for pub
lie library.
It was in the suit of George 81. Til
den, a nephew of Samuel ]. Tilden,
that the residuary clause of the will
was held to be void after years Of
litigation, carried to the court of ap-
peals, and the half of the residuary es-
tate went to himself and his brothers
and sisters, Samuel J. Tilden. jr.,

Rioting Strikers.

BRIDGETON, N. j., July 13.-The
arrival OF 15 nonunion glassblowers
here today caused an outbreak. The
strangers came from Indiana on 8
train over the New Jersey Central.
They were met at the station by a
large crowd of strikers, who immedi-
ately stormed the train and captured
the nonunion men. A lively fra
cas- ensued, duripgswhich many blows
were exchanged. Manager King, of
the Cumberland glass works, who
was in charge of the party. was hit on
the head with a brick and was badly
injured. The car in which the nom
union men rode had the doors and
windows shattered and hack waiting
at the station for mail was wrecked
by the strikers in the belief that it was
to take Manager King to the works.
The nonunion men were finally in.
duced to accompany the strickers to
the latter's headquarters, where an at
tempt is being made to force them to
leave town.

THE TAX SALE.
Why Collections OF Taxes Due the County


Why Collections Of Taxes Due the County
| are Necessary.
Taxes like all other legitimate debts
must be collected in order to keep the
county from going into bankruptcy,
| and the county court of Wasco comfy
seems to have opened its eyes to this
fact, for at each term of court it
dockets an order to affix a warrant to
delinquent tax roll, commanding
the sheriff to collect by levy and pub
lie sale taxes that have become de-
linquent. The sheriff is sworn to do
his duty, and the present sheriff, al
though using all legitimate means and
lenlency within his power to collect
without adding costs to the property
owner, yet he is determined to abide
by the law. All property on which
the taxes remain delinquent will be
sold out closer this year and the books
more nearly balanced than they have
ever been since the county was estab-
lished.
Property will be sold subject to re.
demption st any time during two years
and the price bid must cover taxes
and accruingcosts. If not redeemed at
any time within two years, the pur-
chaser will be entitled to deed from
the sheriff. II redeemed at any time
within one yeor 20 per cent will be
added to the.price paid, and after one
yearand at any time within the second
year, 10 per cent more will be added.
It therefore behoves all delinquents,
who porsibly can, to pay their taxes
prior to sale.
Sheriff Kelly has, by his strict at
tention to the duties of his Office, |
collected'more taxes and put the county |
on better footing financially than it
has been for years. He has been
sheriff only little more than a year
yet he holds the county treasurer's
receipts for 500, 1902 for taxes col.
lected and turned into the treasury
during his term. This amount ought
to enable Wasco county's treasurer to
call in good many of the outstanding
warrants that are at present drawing
8 per cent interest. and if the rule he
has adopted is followed by future
sheriffs there is possibility that the
county may at some fnture time be put
on a cash basic.

An o. Il. q n. Freights Runs Into Some
Deraiied Cars Near viento.
Another wreck occurred on the O.
r. & N. line late yesterday evening
near the town of Viento. Little could
be learned concerning how the same
happened more than that some cars
got off the track when another train,
the engine of which was at the time
on a side track switching, got loose
and ran into the derailed cars badly
smashing FIVE cars and injurying
brakeman Robert Chambers. At first
it was reported that he was fatally in.
jured but later reports stated that his
injuries were not as serious as at first
reported and that he would recover.
Chambers is an old Dalles boy aud his
friends here are pleased to learn that
his injuries are not as serious as at
first stated.
The wrecking train was taken from
this city to the scene of the wreck and
the track was cleared at about 2:30 80
that the east bound overland arrived
in The Dalles at about o'clock this
morning. The wreck seemed to have
been unavoidable and no blame is
attached to any one for the same.

Arrested for Larceny.

A young colored man went into M.
T. Nolan's store last evening in COM
pany with a drunken whiteman and
purchased some canned salmon.
While Mrs. Nolan was getting the
salmon he put can of beef under his
coat and left the store. Mr.. Nolan
noticed that he had taken the beef and
upon inquiring as to whether or not
he had purchased the same was in
formed ny Mrs. Nolan that'he had not.
Mr.. Nolan followed the fellow and
had him placed in the city Jail.
He had his hearing this morning,
b. 81. Riddell appearing in behalf of
the state while Recorder Gates acted
as attorney for the defendant and ] P.
The lad plead guilty and was given his
choice to pay fine of $500 or spend
80 days in the county Jail. He was
short of funds and was forced to spend
a month under Jailor Fitzgerald's
hospitable roof. 1t appears that .he
lad was not sober when he committed
the theft while his companion was very
drunk. He afterwards stated that his
name was John Simpkins, and that he
had been working for some time at
Johns mill. His companion, he stated,
had all his money, and as ne left with.
out ceremony last evening. the
colored gentleman is is in rather bad
predicament.

A droll story of a mishap to a pick
pocket is going about town that I hope
Is true. but Ike all too good stories one
IS inclined TO doubt its righteousness, says
Inc Boston Herald. 1t seems. however
mat a suburbanite who had been in town
doing her spring shopping on very limited
means finally took the electric for home
with precisely $263 in her possession. ATT
er paying her fare, she tucked the purse
in her pocket-wOnderful woman she had
a pocket!-and thought no more about it.
The car started crowded, but after q
While the passengers Trimmed out, and
when the lady reached her destination
she was nearly alone. On arriving at her
nome, she made the discovery that her
purse was gone. The pocket had been
picked, and she remembered that, In one
of the various joits and shakings up. a
man leaned heavily on her side, had apol-
ogized, and shortly after pushed out off
The car. Well, there was less than 81
gone, if the pockeCbook was new and
pretty. The next day the lady had occa-
sion to feel in that pocket of hers, when

ring of great brilliancy There was but
one conclusion regarding its presence
there. The ring had slipped from the
finger of the thief who had picked her
purse. To be brief, this unexpected booty
has been carried to a well known jewe,er
who appraised its worth at $500. Now the
question is, where did the pickpOcket get

to the occasion when he discovered The
loss of such a gem to gain a paltry sos
