All Will Probably Be Sentenced This
Week

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-The reasons
for a new trial for Ellery p. Ingham
and Harvey X. hewitt, the lawyers
who last Friday were found guilty
of bribery and conspiracy, We're not
filed today. The defendants have un-
til tomorrow to act in the matter, as
four days are allowed for filing rea-
sons when a motion for a new trial
is made.
After the reasons have been ad-
vanced Judge Mcpherson, before whom
the case was tried, will fix a day for
argument and If his decision is ad-
verse to the defense an appeal will
be taken to the United States circuit
court of appeals. Bail must be fur
nished pending a decision upon the
appeal, which will allow Ingham and
hewitt their liberty for a long time.
Kendig, Jacobs, Taylor, Bredell,
Burns and Downey, the six men who
have confessed and are to be sem
fenced for participation in the coun-
terfeiting plot, will not be brought be-
fore the court until after the Ingham
and hewitt application is disposed of.
When the six are brought into court,
John f. Wilkie, chief of the United
States secret service, will go on the
witness stand and detail the COM
plete story of the crime. The six
months spent by five OF the defen-
dants in Moyamensing are expected
to count on their sentence. Kendig
is at liberty on bail.

An Immense Breaker.

"To fully realize the immense height
of the mammoth breaker under con-
struction by the Delaware and Hudson
company on the flats one should
mount to the top most floor and look
to the ground below" says the Carbon.
dale Leader.
when finished it will be one great
piece of machinery and will contain all
of the newest methods of preparing
coal for the market. In a building
at the terminus of what looks to be a
place similar to the one now in use to
pull the cars over to the top of the
Coalbrook breaker is a building under
which there is an immense hopper
where coal can be dumped both from
the standard guage cars and the small
mine cars. From this hopper a coal
conVeyor carriers the lumpy material
to the topmost point in the breaker,
which looks like a separate two story
structure, placed directly on top of the
main building and about half as wide.
BY the conVeyOr arrangement the pull
ing Cf the cars upon an iclined plane
to the top of the breaker, the method
| usually employed, Is avoided, making
great saving of time and money, for
often times a cable broke and the
whole trip of cars ran to the bottom of
| the plane and were smashed
"The coal from Wilson Creek mine
| was formerly taken over q trestle from
| the top of the culm pile into Coalbrook
| breaker but that with the other coal
| will be dumped into the immense hop
| per and taken into the new breaker by
| the copveyor. For this purpose a new
| track has been constructed along the
hillside from a point above the culm
pile and across the tracks leading
from Coalbrook mine circling in a min
iature horse shoe towards the hopper
| building. There they are switched
| back toward the mule barn on q cir
cular track that rejoins the horse shoe
| In the straight line that leads from the
old track. The grade in some place1
on the new track Is said to be three
| feet in a hundred.
THE immense enterprise is impressed
upon ones mind fully when the coal
stopnage plant on the site of Anthra-
| cite Park is visited Here great pro-
gress has been made, the seven tracks
! having been laid already and every
| thing is in readiness for the laying
of the circular rails upon which the
| relOader will work The coal will be
piled upon culm instead of cement as
| first intended. The coal will be piled
| by conveyors which will be operated
| by stationary steam engines. 1t is first
| dumped into hoppers similar to the one
at new Coalbrook breaker, except that
| they operate upon movable chute like
arrangements which are supported by
| an iron trestle."

The manufactures committee of the
board of trade desire it understood
that the only support to be given the
proposed tin plate factory by that
body will be what might be termed
moral support. The actual work of
obtaining stock subscriptions is to be
done by MIR. Torbet himself.
The support of the committee will
not be given until Mr. Torbet brings
here a practical man who will agree
to assume the management of the
plant. Mr.. Patton, who was here on
Saturday last, is being prevailed upon
to do this, but as he already has a
good position in Cleveland, it is doubt
full If he will accept.
Mr.. Torbet is at present engaged in
looking up such a man and has pro-
missed to come to this city again on

HOW TO TAX RAILROADS.

An error in proof reading yesterday
changed the meaning of Mr..
Ford's point upon the subject
of taxing railroads. What he
wrote and what the Supreme court of the
United States decided was THE MAR
KET VALUE OF THE BONDS AND
STOCK is the cash value of the proper
ty.' The capitals were omitted.
If the road is not worth more than
the bonds. the stocks would be worthless
on the market.
The bonds are practically preferred
stock.
The market value of bonds and stocks
is sure test of actual cash value CT
the corporation assets-and our statute
requires .,rIIE ACTUAL CASH VAL
UE'' to be assessed as the tax value.
The difference between value of tangi-
BILE property (road bed, cars, &c.1 and the
total value of bonds and stocks is the
franchise, which the law requires to be
assessed. This franchise varies in value
according to proftableness of the bust
ness
An individual owning house and furni-
Ntnre has no franchise, but a corporation
using and doing a quasi public business
has valuable franchise which the law
requires to be taxed. 1t is property.
The above plain facts, if gotten into
the heads of our people would answer
all the sophistries of railroad counsel.
The bonds and stocks of all North Car.
DINA Railroads (the pro rata part in this
State will bring in the North Carolina
market S12OOOO.O0O at present prices.
Whatever the value of road bed and cars,
the excess over it of total prices of bonds
and stock is the value of the franchises.
Again railroads receipts in North Car
Olina last year were $12.OO0,OOO of which
$5.O0O,OOO were net profits. and five mil
lions is per cent on 100000. 900
showing the buyers of bonds and stocks
calculate on per cent basis.

part against the white mans having

it will be a vote for the continuance of
race trouble and conflict and clash, and
finally it will be vote which cannot pos
sibly help even the negro for which it is
cast, since if he could succeed in defeat
ing the purpose of the white men. as
expressed i'm this amendment, the race
question lin the settlement of which he
is as much interested as the white man

other, but to settle it and SETTLE IT

WANTED--A DECENT LIBEL LAW.

The libel law of North Carolina is
virtually the law of the middle ages and
has not been changed since Guttenburg
discovered the art of printing.
The editors are now assembled in an
nual session at Wrightsville. At their
last meeting Il committee was appointed
to draft a modern libel bill and seek to
have it enacted into law. The chair
man of that committee Mr. III. A. Lon
don. drafted modern libel law. it was
introduced and championed by Mr..
uoey. editor of the Cleveland Star,
but did not become law. 1t is in the
hands of special committee. We hope
they will report it favorably so it can
be enacted into law at the special SEES
sion of the Legislature to be held in
June. 1900.
The editors. Of all men in the State,
have right to demand libel law that
is based upon right, justice and modern
conditions. The Wilmington Messenger
does not overdraw the services of the
editorial profession when it says:
.'The editors of North Carolina in criti-
cal times have proved faithful sentines
upon the walls and watch towers of civil
liberty and the peoples rights. They
are on the outposts in peace and i'll war

Unlike the political canvassers and office
seekers they work fifty-two weeks. and
the daily journalists 312 days i'll each
revolving year. They keep the fires of
liberty burning and are always on the
outlook for the enemies of their coun-

sacred interests, to prevent the long

the very palladium of liberty, and even
tyranny raises its accursed head to strike
to crush the monster. The cause of the
people. often in peril, is sometimes stag
gering under an uncommon pressure and
remains steadfast and faithful still, 'un-

how precious truth and conscience and
