The real and personal property of
the State in 1898 was assessed at
S265, S67, 19S. which is not more than
two-thirds its real value. The State col
iects a onefourth of one per cent tax
on this assessed valuation. This ad
valorem tax. together with the special
privilege. license and other incomes,
brought into the Treasury in 1898 Il
total of S1.337 .512.40. while for the
same time the total disbursements were
81 ,23I,392.U9 for all purposes, showing
receipts in excess of disbursements of
SS2,9G0.31 for the year.
From the above statement it will be
seen that the entire Stare debt is less
than S1,20o.0e0. The issue of $4,000.

August 16, 1899. like all y. c. State
Bonds. being exempt from all taxation,
will make this issue very desirable

KIDNAPPING
Of GoIdie Lake Has Story Back
of 1t.

The story back of the kidnapping
of Goldie Lake will no doubt be
made public when Mrs. M. Rasmus
of Covington, has her hearing, says
the Enquirer. Yesterday, accom-
panied by the child and Attorney
Rhyno, she called at police head
quarters and gave herself up to De-
tective Grimsley. She was charged
with kidnapping and was released
on bond. Charles Lake, father of
the child, said he is no relation to
Mrs. Rasmus, but she was acquaint-
ed with his father, and when he be-
came six years of age she raised him
until he could hustle for himself.
His daughter Goldie was also raised
by Mrs. Rasmus. The latter said
she had cared for the child, and will
fight for possession of it. The little
one was with Mrs. Rasnus and is at
tached to her.

GREATER THAN LAST YEAR.
Big Increase In Business Shown by Clear
inghouse Statements-Consume
Trade, Not Speculation.

inghouse Statements-Consumer
Trade, Not Speculation.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2G.-R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade issued to-
day said in part:
Nothing is more eloquent than the
facts. Actual payments through the
principal clearinghouse for the week
were 26.1 per cent larger than last year
and 56.2 per cent larger than in the same
week in 1892. For the month thus far
the daily average of payments has been
1862 per cent larger than last year and
Sc per cent larger than in 1892. Ton
mage from Chicago i'll three weeks have
been S0.70 per cent larger than last year
and 74.66 larger than i'll 1892. 1t will
not be suggested by anybody that such
an astonishing increase over the most
prosperous OF all past years except the
last was expected. Most people really
regarded last years expansion as some
thing like freak. Nor is the differ
ence i'll amount of payments mainly
due to rise in prices, for prices of sew
eral hundred articles actually range
lower now ON the whole than in August,
1892.
1t is consumers business also. Per-
haps never before have demands for
actual use controlled business and prices
with so little speculation TO anticipate
higher markets. In fact the rise i'll
most articles has gone further than
speculative opinions have warranted.
Practically all industries are some
months behind the requirements for
actual use, and in many much of the
output next year is already sold.
Eonworks which supply Pittsburg
are sold up far into 1900, and can do
nothing though prices much beyond
what they received are paid by those
who must have iron this year. The en-
ormous demand for more railroads, and
rails and cars, more vessels, warehouses
and buildings, to handle the exGraordin-
ary business IN progress, cannot be
met as quickly as men would like, and
work of all sorts is delayed, from the
biggest war vessel to the smallest fac
tory.
The demand for wooden goods has
gone beyond all expectations. The sales
OF wool are enormous, 1877, 100 pounds
IN four weeks, 30, 1l9, $40 pounds being
domestic, with prices generally un-
changed though concessions are now
made to secure sales i'll some lines.
Reports of injury to wheat i'll the
northwest have affected the. market,
but only for day or two, the price
closing three-quarters of cent lower
for the week.
Atlantic exports were slightly larger
than last year.
Corn exports continue heavy, in four
weeks l6, 123, ,524 bushels, against 9,3lS,-
ll3 for the same weeks last year and
rose d cents during the week.
Failures for the week have been 16t
III the United States, against 179 last
year, and III Ill Canada, against 26 last
year.

RACE RIOT IN GEORGIA.
More Troops Ordered TO Darien-CitI

Negroes In a swamp.

Negroes In a swamp.
DARIEN, Ga, Aug. 26.-A conferenU =
was held between Sheriff Blount, mill
tia officials and a citizens committee
and it was decided to take decisive
action against the negroes who are
massed and armed in Delaget's swamp.
IL miles from this city.
The sheriff wired Colonel Lawtou,
who is in Savannah, to send the militia
at once, and ne received reply to the
effect that the, men are ready and that
the Liberty county troops will start
from Hinesville for Darien.
The Mcintosh dragons are at their
armory here with horses. The citizens
will move from Darien on a special
train for the swamp and the militia
about 10 i'll number, one hour later.
The negroes are armed i'll defiance of
law and the purpose of the militia Is
to surround the swamp and relieve the
blacks OF their firearms and arrest
them.
An outbreak by the negroes has been
momentarily expected since the killing
by John Delagell, a negro, of Joe Town.
send, a prominent citizen and deputy
sheriff of this county.
The sheriff and his deputies continue
to make arrests of the rioting negroes
and the Jail has large number in it
This was precautionary measure To
prevent an attack on the Jail by the
negro friends of those imprisoned and
make room for those who have been ar
rested since the removal.
The negro citizens outnumber the
white citizens about here.
4 tugboat left for Savannah with the
riot prisoners on board. 1t was thought
best to take them there for safe keep
ing in order to avoid any possible at
tempt to escape and for the further
reason that the Jail here is crowded.
While passing through a negro settle
ment, about five miles from Darien, Il

FAREWELL
Reception to Rev. and
Mrs. E.T. Mac Mahon.
Arlington Street Church Has Increased
Membership-Leaves With Regret.


Members of the Arlington Street
Congregational church on Friday
evening rendered farewell reception
to their pastor, Rev. E. T. MacMahon
who with his family will leave next
Wednesday for Cleveland, where
Mr.. MacMahon has been called to
the pastcrate of the Grace Congrega-
tional church, that city.
The farewell reception was we'll
attended by members of the congre-
CATION and other friends of the
pastor. An informal program was
enacted, and light refreshments
served. The pastor was presented
with a fine book case and Il lamp as
tokens of respect from the congrega-
tion.
Communion services will be held
at the church Sunday morning and
in the evening the pastor will preach
his farewell sermon.
In the four years and half, or
more, that Rev. Mr.. MacMahon has
been in Akron his influence and la
bors have been a power for good
wherever used to further the gospel,
and its truths, not alone has his in
fuence been felt as preacher, but
also as a citizen. In that locality,
where the church is located, material
Improvements have been made
made through his efforts and advice.
The social element of the community
has advanced as well as the spiritual.
In his ministerial duties the pastor
has been ably assisted by his noble
wife, to whom debt Of love and
gratitude is owed by the community
in which the church was located.
Rev. Mr.. MacMahon came to Ak
ron from Guys Mills, Pa. When
he first assumed the pastorate
of the church, but % members
were enrolled on the church list,
now there are more than so.
Then the congregation was in debt
a 4,5OO, now it is but $500 and $500 of
that will be paid this year about
October.
Many persons will recall the Sum-
day afternoon services conducted by
Mr.. MacMahon at the Grand Opera
House winter before last, how that
at times standing room could scarcely
be obtained. During that winter
Rev. Mr.. Mac Mahon preached three
sermons a day-morning, noon and
evening.
The pastor says that is with regret
that he leaves Akron, as he loved all
his church members, and liked Ak
ron and her people.
At a meeting Thursday night it
was decided by the congregation to
