will probably be erected on the site
of the present station, which is regard
ed as an eyesore by all railroad men,
who say that it is surprising that the
old management never made any ef-
fort to rebuild or remodel it. A larger
revenue is derived from the Newark
station than any other on the division.

REVENUE COLLECTIONS.
Amount Received by the Govern
ment from Various Sources Dur
ing the Last Fiscal Year.

The preliminary report of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue on the
collection of internal revenue and the
condition Of the service for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1899, has been re-
ceived by Collector Penman.
The receipts from all sources Of in
ternal revenue, for the year, aggre-
gated $273, asa ,5S2.44, which amount in
cluded $274953.30 tax on money orders
turned over by the postmaster general
to the collector for the district Of Mary
land and for which no expense for
collection was incurred, making an in
crease of $102, ,G17, ,7630S over the receipts
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1895
The expenses of this bureau for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1889, will
approximate %5S4,14543, and the per-
centage of cost of collection on these
figures, less tax on money orders, as
above stated, will be les, a reduction
of 81 in the percentage of cost of col
lection as compared with the preceding
fiscal year, when the percentage of cost
was 2.29

On mixed flour, a clear gain of S7,S40,-
62 was made. The special taxes on
bankers, brokers, billiard rooms, bowl
ing alleys, theatres, amusements, etc,
realized $a,92l ,59321, an increase over
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895 OF

O'Keefe Has Arrived.

Patrick O'Keefe, the recently ap-
pointed chief special agent. or head of
the detective bureau of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad
company, arrived in the city yesterday.
He will assume his Office in a day or
two whep Office room is made for him.
Mr.. O'Keefe was formerly with the
Illinois and Central Railroad COM
pany. Like most Of the new heads of
department of the Lackawanna road,
Mr.. Keefe is a tall and heavy man,
aftable, but strikingly modest with
reference to his brilliant career as a
railroad detective.
When seen by Tribune man yester-
day regarding the policy of his man
agement of his department he stated
he was nOt ready to give any state .
ments Sandy Stillwell will be under
Mr.. O'Keefe and will be valuable
assistant to him.

The Building Trades Strike.

The only new feature in the strike
situation yesterday was the dropping
from the list of one Of the persons
who have been boycotted. No particu-
lar reason was assigned for this action
though it was probably shown to those
in charge that the person had been
done an injustice.
Affairs have now reached such a
stage and each side have grown so
thoroughly accustomed to the present
state of things that it is difficult to
believe that a strike is really in pro-
gress. All work that is to be done
is being done either by members of the
Exchange or the carpenters them
selves. Public interest in the struggle
has waned to a great degree and the
strike is no longer the subject of ami
mated conversations on the streets.
A doubt exists as to whether the
boycott has been effective or not. The
merchants, who have been placed on
the list, maintain that they have not
felt any inconvenience yet.

STAMP is NOT NECESSARY.
Recent Decision of Commissioner
Wilson,

Commissioner Wilson, of the inter-
nal revenue treasury department, has
recently decided that the form of as
signment on the back of a certificate
of stock, authorizing the secretary OF
a corporation to transfer the same on
books Of q company Is not q power
of attorney within the meaning of the
internal revenue law, and does not
require a 25 cent stamp.
In rendering this decision, the COM
missioner says: "In this case the
secretary OF the corporation cannot
be said to be the agent or attorney for
the transfer Of the stock, as the effect
Of the instrument is only to give the
secretary authority to do an act which
he is required to do by the bylaws of
the corporation, when properly author
lied. just as the cashier of a bank
is required to pay a check when the
check is properly signed and presented
for payment"
Therefore, this instrument would only
be taxable as a transfer of stock at
the rate of cents for each 800 or
fraction thereof of the par value Of
said stock.

They Are Still Surveying.

1t is said that the route of the pro-
posed new locomotive road over the
MOosic mountain is not satisfactory to
the management of the Delaware and
Hudson company and thas further sur
yeys have been ordered on the cas-:
side. The civil engineers conversant
with the situation have from the ilrSS
said that the only feasible pla1 is tha.
of tunneling.
A short tunnel about seven-eighths
of a mile in length would be far pre-
ferable to the attempt to cross the
heights by zigzag road, but the best
method of all to adopt would be to
build the long tunnel proposed by the
Erie. Heavy grades are both expen-
sve and dangerous-Honesdale Citi-
zen.
