Annual Statement OF the CommissfOn-
ers shows y Condition of
Marked Prosperity.

DEs MONIES, Dec. 4-(speciaI Tele-
gram.)-The annual report OF the railway
commissioners was fled today Prosperity
has been the portion of iowa railroads dur
ing the year The report shows
Total gross earnings of all roads s4S 466 =
1873; total operating expenses, s31 419 III:
total taxes paid in Iowa, 81, Ais 465; total
number of employees, 30 1856; total compensa-
tion Of all employees, SIS, 406, 393
The significance Of these details arises
from the fact that the gross receipts repre-
sent, approximately, $3,0O0,OOO more than the
gross receipts of last year, and the red let
ter year of 1893 among Iowa roads; that
100 more men than ever before are EN-
ployed. and their wages are greater by ST.
200 600 than last year. 1t iE true that the
net earnings of the roads did not reach s1I,-
100000 due TO the extraordinary expense of
operating and the heavy taxes. The net
earnings in fact, are less than those Of the
year 1893 and are little more than these of
1896 when times were comparatively hard.
There has been a net Increase on all roads of
So GOO 600 Several new features are intro
duced this year in the form OF comparative
tables Of unusual interest One shows the
net earnings per mile of road since the year
1878 up to the present time. In 1878 81 ,960I2
represented the net earnings per mile; in
1899, $1,g94.85.
Another table compares the number OF
employees since 1878. In that year there
we're t3518, which number has Increased to
81 3s5 in 1889 Wages have increased since
1873 from $s 329, ,s10.31 to the figures of this

Annual Auction Attracts "a Crowd and

The annual tax sale of Delinquent prop

urer Arnd and attracted a large number Of
bidders with the result that he competition

keen. The usual crowd with the addition

who is a familiar character at all tax sales
in this city and Omaha. Following his
usual custom, he invested heavily, especially
in delinquent country property
The competition for a few OF the choice
city holdings was exceedingly brisk and in
one instance a desirable lot was knocked
down to a local real estate dealer for a one
millionth interest. Another went for
thousandth interest and several were sold
for one hundredth interests. The Merriam
block was knocked down for a one thou
sandth interest, the bidding on this being
very keen.
The tax sale this year was about as large
as last year and the proportion Of country,
city and outside town property was about
the same In the county there was very
little delinquent property to go under the
treasurer's hammer as the farmers have
taxes have been well paid up. In three of
the ownships-Pleasant, valley and York,
there was not a single delinquent piece OF
property. while but one township-knoX-
showed as many as eight delinquent hold
ngs on which the taxes for 1893 remained
unpaid The number of delinquent pieces
in the other townships was as follows:
Waveland, a: Grove 4 Silver Creek, :;
Keg Creek 8; Wright . Center, L, Wash
ington, g. Hardin, /; Lincoln, 2; James, 1;
Norwalk, 3; Hazel Dell 4; Layton, 8; Min
den, I Nicola, A. Boomer, g.
In the city the number of delinquent
pieces Of property offered for sale was about
the same as last year, owing to the fact
that three Of the outside additious-Cline' ),
Colby's. Walnut Grove and Potter &
Georges, the latter in East Omaha, were
in the list entire, making quite an item in
the total number. But for these three ad-
dtions the showing this year would have
been better than last, when it was the
smallest known for several years
In the towns outside of Council Bluffs the
taxes this year were exceptionally well paid
up and there was but little to offer. Such
as was, however was eagerly snapped up
md practically everything worth having on
he entire list was disposed Of when Treas
urer Arnd closed his days work.
Such remnants as are left over viii be Of
fered again at an adjourned sale which will
be held some time in January, the date OF
which will be announced later by Treasurer

also suggested the propriety Of building

City Attorney Wadsworth gave il as his
opinion that neither the Board Of Health
nor the city council had any authority to
eXpeud the city's money in either building
pest house or making repairs to one IN
case Of emergency The city could act as
il deemed best, but the expense would have

INQUEST oN DEATH OF BOYLE,
Three witnesses Examined and NOth-
Ing New Brought to Light.

Three witnesses Examined and NOth-
Ing New Brought to Light.
After three witnesses had been examined
at the inquest over Michael Boyle killed by
a freight train on the tracks Of the Terminal
company Saturday night, an adjournment
was taken until o'clock this afternoon. The
three witnesses examined we're C. L. Rankin,
foreman; W. c. Heaton switchman, and
John Mlkesel, engineer. Much time was
consumed by Attorney Calvin, who appeared
for the relatives OF the dead man, in CROSS
examining the witnesses, ir being his en- =
deavor to show that the railway company
was negligent and euIpabIe in having three
cars ahead of the engine while the balance
Of the train was behind.
Practically nothing new as to the manner
in which Boyle came to his death was
brought out. Switchman Heaton testified
that he saw Boyle on the track and that he
gave the order to the engineer to slow up.
Boyle stepped off the track and he signaled
again to the engineer to go ahead. When
about twenty feet from Boyle the latter fell
or threw himself across the track, He at
once gave the signal to stop but although
the train was only going about four or five
miles an hour IL was impossible to stop the
train after Boyle fell in time to prevent 1t
running over him.
Engineer Mkesel In answer to Attorney
GalVin's CROSS examination said that the
three cars ahead OF the engine had been
picked up from the Milwaukee and the ten
behind from the Omaha & St. Louis and
that in order to have had all the cars back
Of the engine Il would have been necessary
to have made drop" which was contrary
to rules, or else to have made two trips
from the Eighteenth street siding to Fif-
teenth avenue.
The funeral will be held this morning
at o'clock from St, Francis Xavier's
church. The services will BE- conducted by
Rev Father smyth and interment will be
In the Catholic cemetery. The body was re-
moved to the residence Of the deceased at
