girls and boys Will be resented Immediately
after election by Bishop Potter himself. who. it
learned yesterday. is thoroughly aroused
to the dangers besetting the work of his young
co-laborer on the lower East Side. Bishop Pot
ter holds the work being done in the Pro-
Cathedral parish in the tenderest regard. He
has watched the steady encroachments of pro-
tected vice upon the parish work with all the
solicitude that father gives to the struggles of
a child. It was said yesterday by those holding
intimate relations with the Bishop that i'm
mediately after election he would take prompt
decisive and vigorous action.
The greatest interest was manifested yester-
day in the resolution adopted by the Episcopal
convention on Thursday AUTHORIZING Bishop Pot
ter to investigate the indignities offered the rec
tor of the Pro-Cathedral On all sides the se-
tior of the diocesan convention was discussed
It was interpreted as marking the beginning Of
a distinctively new aggressive movement on the
part of the clergy and laity of that Church in
this city for the betterment of social conditions
on the East Side-new, because involving to
some extent open warfare against a powerful
political party.
It is the opinion of nearly every student of
politics that the police government of this city
is thoroughly saturated with Tammany Hall
politics, and that attack on one will be
f1ercely resisted by the other. That is why Bish
op Potters policy in the present case Is preg-
nant with interest to those who desire that the
greatest city of the American Continent should
be a fit place to live and grow up in.
RECTOR A POWER WITH HIS PEOPLE.
The Rev. Mr.. Paddock is a fine type of aggres-
sve Christianity. He is about thirty years Of
age, possessed of a strong body and mind. and
OF boundless zeal for his work among the poorer
people on the East Side. When The Tribune re-
porter visited the Pro-Cathedral yesterday,
there was a funeral just leaving the church

TO PAY BACK TAXES TO THE CITY.
Albany. Sept. 2s.-Before the Court of Appeals
next Wednesday the Manhattan Elevated Railroad
Company will make a vigorous and determined
effort through distinguished counsel to keep the
authorities Of New-York from enjoying the victory
over the corporation which would mean the
rchunent of the city treasury by 100000 in back
taxes The company appeals to the higher court
from decision rendered by Judge Nash. which. II
affirmed would mean the payment by the elevated
railroad of 100000 in back taxes to New-York
CITY the payment OF between $4,000 and $4,000 in
annual taxes hereafter by this company. and the
addition OF about S9OOOOOOO annually to the
ble property of New-York City.
The Manhattan company attacked the assessment
in 1884, 1t paid the that year and the follow
ing amounting TO nearly 100000. under protest
and has not paid since. The company secured a
writ TO review the assessment. and the decision at
first went in its favor. The assessment was for
STs60T2. Justice Beach vacated this. The General
Term reversed him. but the Court of Appeals or
dered ressSessment The new assessment fixed
the value at S6.S09 63s. This fought on the
same ground. Justice Nash took nearly six months
to ponder over the case and then decided In favor
OF the city. From this the appeal is taken.

TWO BROTHERS
Quarreled and Came to Blows
On Account Of a Woman.

Thursday evening young man,
accompanied by a woman, walked
into the hotel and requested room,
the man representing the woman as
his wife. All went well until the
following day, when another young
man alghted from the noon train
and proceeded to the same hotel.
Then there was "trouble plenty"
The new arrival claimed that the
woman was HIS wife, and the man
his brother. He ascertained the
number OF the room which the erring
couple occupied, and at once pro-
ceeded to cause a commotion. For
few moments it sounded as if
forty wildcats had been let loose.
Husband No. claimed that his
brother went at him with small
Ratchet, while the woman spared
for his nose. No l succeeded in
getting out of the room, taking
with him the woman S watch, purse
and'cape.
Husband No. 2 and the woman
then left the hotel and proceeded to
the Office of justice of the peace.
They were explaining matters to
the justice when in walked No. l.
The woman stated that she was
not married to either Of the brothers.
She greatly desired to have No. /
arrested. The latter in turn was
bound to have his brother and the
woman arrested.
They were advised to state their
grievances to the prosecuting at
torney Later in the day it was
understood that the trouble had in
some manner been patched UP, and
they left on the night train, east
bound.

BIG CUT OF HEMLOCK.
Lumbermen in the Upper PENN
sula Say It Will Reach
2O,OOO,OOO Feet.

Twenty million feet is the estimate
placed by well posted lumbermen on
the quantity .of hemlock which will
be cut this winter along the line of
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
railroad between Marquette and
Bessemer, says the Houghton Ga
zette.
There will be great element OF
waste in this cut in that none of the
bark Will be taken by tanneries.
Several new tanneries, however,
are in prospect in the upper
peninsula, and it will only be
few years at most until there is a
good demand for all the hemlock
bark that can be cut.
More attention is being paid to
hardwood every year, and within
the past season several mills have
been erected which will be devoted
exclusively to cutting that class Of
timber.
A big project of this kind will be
inaugurated next season at Big Bay,
point on the lake in the northeast
part OF Marquette county. A.
McAfee, of Grand Rapids, has OBJ
tanned about $4,000 acres of hard
wood lands there and expects to put
in big plant for the manufacture
Of hardwood lumber, slaves, head
ings and shingles. The mill and the
village which will be located around
it will be situated on Lake Inde-
pendence, but it will be connected
by a tram railway with Lake Super
ior at Big Bay, which will be the
shipping point.
Hardwood has advanced much
faster in value the last year or two
| than hemlock. An instance OF its
appreciation was given not long ago
in deal which was so small that
ten years back nobody would have
said ''thank you for it. The
original Investment was $4,000 on
an 1882 estimate. This season q
concern offered $4,000 for the logs
but haggled so long its option ex
pired and another firm which hac
been anxious to get in on the dea
| paid 500, 600 for the lot.

WANT TO PURCHASE LANDS
Leather Trust is Said to be After
Lake Superior HcmlOck.

A Marquette dispatch says that
the leather trust is suspected of
designs on Lake Superior hemlock.
The Pennsylvania forests are nearly
all exhausted and the trust has had
cruisers all through the region be-
tween Sault Ste. Marie and Duluth
making careful estimates. On these
will be based its bids for the hem
lock lands. As result the tanning
industry is likely to become centered
in the upper peninsula. 1t is esti-
mated that 10000, 600 feet of hem
lock will be cut this season. Many
owners are holding their timber un
til there is market for the bark.
