Mr. Thomas Nicholson, of BellaIre,
will hereafter direct the destlnes of the
Wheeling base ball club.
Mr.. Howell states that he will be
given full power to brace up, weed.oub
or engage new players as his judgment
dictates.
Mr.. Nicholson is no stranger to the
Wheeling base ball public, and will, no
doubt,ad strengthto the teamandtreat
the fang to some new experiences.
He is a gentleman in every sense of the
word. and his large experience in the
sport will stand him well at this critical
period in the history of the Wheeling
team. He assumes charge to-day, and
Will be in the game himself.
The history of the teams trip abroad
would be interesting II 1t could be Witt
ten here. Mr.. Howell had almost In
superable difficulties to contend with.
but 1t would accomplish no possible
good to retail them at this moment.
Let us hope new and brighter pros
pect opens with Mr.. Nlcholson's as
sumption of the management.
Play ball!
The record made away from home is
not so dlsgraceful when 1t is remember
ed that the New Castle team in good
form, and without single cripple or
invalid" only won three games during
the same time Wheeling chalked UP
four victories.
Now. everybody root. We will be
happy yet.

End OF the Bridge.
The Rock Hin Coal Company, which
has been for several years operating on
the lands of Nathan Holloway, are
buslly engaged in tearing down the
props in the portions OF the mines not
now in use. They are still operating
portion OF the mines and will continue
10 mine conl for probably month. The
abandonment Of this mine does not
mean that the Rock Hill Coal Com
pany will not engage in the business In
the future, for they are owners OF n
tract of land consisting Of ninety acres,
located directly south Of their present
mines and It is stated upon good au-
thority that they will soon open mine
on their own territory. This VIII be
gratifying news TO their present en-
ployes, who had thought that the a6nn-
donment OF the mines on the Holloway
lands meant permanent suspension OF
work at that place. which. however, Is
not the state OF affairs. The mines are
running half time now, because they
can't get sufficient cars to ship their
coal.

THE 6iLLiN0S ESTATE AND THE
INHERITANCE TAX.

The cOnstitutiOnality of the Inherit
ance tax law was attacked Tuesday In
Judge Carriers court by the heirs Of
Albert NJ. Billings, who died two years
ago, leaving an estate valued at $780,
900 to be divided among his wife, Au-
gusta; his son, G. X. q. Billings: and
his grandson, Albert Billings RuddOck.
The authorities taxed the estate under
the law about $4,000. 1t IL now sought
by attorneys representing the heirs to
avoid the payment of the tax on the
ground that the law IL invalid.
Counsel for the heirs argued that the
fact that the Inheritance tax law estab-
fishes a tax where the will provides
that the remainder of the estate, after
the death Of the beneficiary, goes TO
llneal descendant, while no tax Is pro-
vided where no provision IL made for
the disposal Of the remainder to take
place after the death Of the heir, known
In law as collateral remainder. makes
the whole law void as In conflict with
that part OF the constitution Of the
State which provides that all privileges
In the same class shall be equally
taxed
Judge Carter took the case under ad-
yisement. A decision viii he rendered
In a few weeks and the case will be
appealed by the defeated party.

our LETTER CARRIERS APE VERY

The lettcr.carrters of Chicago. ac-
Cor,iing to report which seems to
have some foundation. have united In
n national movement for an increase of
salary from $1,000 to $1,000. A meet.
ing was held at Steinway Hall Monday
night. at which II Is said that nearly
1000 carriers were present. at which
John NJ. Parsons. president of the Ma.
tional Association Of Letter. Carriers.
appealed to the men to respond to an
assessment Of $40 each to further the
movement for an increase of salary. II
the report Is true Mr.. Parsons appealed
to the letter-carriers to Join In the
movement with the assurance that the
assessment of $40 would be more than
necessary. and secured the unanimous
Endorsement Of large representation
of the carriers. 1t II snid that a ma
tional organization has been perfected
with the object Of securing an In
creased salary. and that the increase IL
expected to materiallze not later than
July 1. 1890. Postmaster Gordon said
Wednesday night that he had no def.
mite Information concerning the report.
ed movement. and declined to express
any opinion on the subject. save to say
that 1t was perfectly laudable ambi.
ton for any letter-carrier to seek an
increase Of salary. MFR. Parsons will
hold similar meetings In st. Paul dur.
Ing the coming week. with a view to
enlisting the letter-carriers Of that city
In the cause. A meeting Of the Chicago
branch Of the organization will be held
In about week to elect men to act az
guardians Of the money to be raised.
