HORSE STEALING CHARGED.
Various Offences Alleged Against
New York Youths

PORT JERVIS. N. Y, June 1-Sidney
Green and his brother John are locked up
in Ararat charged with horse stealing.
Sidney is twenty years old. and John is
fourteen.
According to the complaint Of Constable
Mcmahon. they started from Ararat
Wednesday morning with a horse they
picked up. They hitched the animal to a
blackboard. Mcmahon says, slung Farmer
fuckers calf into the wagon. carried it
away, butchered it. and enjoyed a roast
leg of veal.
Justice COe Roberts is said TO have per-
sonally paid Tucker SO for the calf. At
all events, the boys were discharged.
Wednesday night, Mcmahon declares. Sid
ney and John surreptitiousIy borrowed a
good team of horses and a saddle from
Justice Roberts and fed TO the woods near
Herrick Centre. They found Burt Corry's
buggy in his barn, the complainant swears,
hitched one of Justice Roberts horses to
it. tied the other to the tailboard. and
started for Susquehanna
Mcmahon started to meet the boys at
$50 a. n. yesterday. He swears that he
found they had traded one horse, the har-
ness, and the buggy with a farmer named
Green, who gave them a gold watch in
trade. The watch, Mcmahon says, the boys
traded for a bicycle and with this they
started for Franklin Forks. Mcmahon
overlook the lads two miles outside of
Franklin Forks handcuffed them, and re-
moved them 90 Hallstead, whence they
were taken to Ararat for trial Sidney and
John declare their innocence.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The stock market
opened dull and showing irregular price
changes, in comparison with yesterdays
final figures.
For the most part the railway list in
the early dealings showed fractional de-
elines. although New York Central and
Pennsylvania we're exceptions.
The industrial quarter was generally
firm, with advances appearing in all of
the steel industrials. while Sugar Rein
ing was rather reactionary. There was a
great deal of profit realizing in the lat
ter stock on the announcement of the ar
rangement arrived at by the independent
refiners. and the deal was also wanting in
the spectacular aspects which Wall Street
had looked for.
The local traction issues were neglected,
with the exception of Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, which was steady.
The London market was also very dull,
but American stocks were generally
steady. Very little was done here for for
eign account in the early dealings.
Little that was novel with any bearing
on the market or particular stocks de-
veloped over night.

BURNETT's HEAVY FINES.
Fifty Dollars for Carrying n Pistol
and Twenty Dollars for AssnuIt.

Thomas Burnett. the labc-er who drew
a revolver and threatened the life Of
joseph Bailey, plumber last night, and
who was arrested by Policemen Lynch
and Galpin. was arraigned this morning
before Judge KimbaI charged with as
sault and carrying concealed weapons.
The evidence indicated that Burnett
went out last night in search Of some
man who had difficulty with a young
woman in whom Burnett was interested
Bailey, who had never seen the rampant
laborer, encountered him at Sixth and
Streets Burnett fiourished a revolver
and only the alacrity Of Bailey prevented
Its discharge with probably serious re-
suits.
when arraigned in the Police Court this
morning Burnett had little TO say except
that he was intoxicated last night. Judge
hlmball ordered Burnett to pay a fine
OF 800 or serve three months in jail for
carrying the revolver. and in the assault
case imposed a fine OF $40, with the al
tentative OF sixty days in Jail.

Preacher In a Burglar Chase.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. J.. June IA bur-
glar who had secreted himself in the
apartments of Rev. Frederick j. Stanley,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
caused panic about midnight "Wednesday
night in the Arnold Flat Building. Pacific
and Kentucky Avenues. As he entered
the bedroom door DR.. Stanley lighted a
match, which put the burglar to flight.
The preacher gave chase and raised cry
OF stop theft The janitor appeared. but
the man was too quick for him and escaped,
going through the rear door and over a
back fence. There was little sleep for the
tenants Of the building, as they engaged III
a search for burglars in every conceivea-
Bile place DIR. Stanley reports that the
thief carried of new suit Of

wear at a fashionable wedding.

REFUNDING OF TAXES.
The Attorneys Report on the Appii-
II


cation of A. =. Cayvvood
A S Caywood has been informed by the
District Commissioners that they are
without discretion or authority of law to
comply with his request to remit the tax
on sub-lot 81, square S95, for the year
1893. They base their letter to Mr.. Cay
wood upon legal opinion recently rem
dered by their Attorney, as follows:
Il have duly considered the application
Of A. s. Caywood for the cancellation Of
the general tax, etc, because the same was
omitted from a certified statement of
taxes issued March H. 1886.
1t appears from the report OF tha As
SCISSOR that the aforementioned lot is part
of the estate Of c. F. T Roserthai. and
that in the division Of the sane il ---s
conveyed by deed, recorded March 2 1894
TO Wilhelm and Gunther Rosenthal, to
whom IL is now assessed A certiied
statement of taxes was issued March IL
1896. and there was omitted therefrom the
general tax for 1898, which was then un-
paid.
Tho certified statement Of taxes vas
issued TO A. s. Caywood, agent for the
owners, who claims that he had been
paying taxes from that time, according
TO the certificate. He claims cancellation
OF the omitted tax, or, at least, a remis-
sion OF the interest and penalties on the
same.
The act of Congress approved February
s, 1873, authorizes the issuing of such a
certificate, and provides that any omitted
tax or assessment shall be discharged as
to Subsequent purchase The case pre-
sented in the application is clearly rot
within the act OF Congress
The penalties aceruing apon an unpaid
tax have been adjudicated to be part and
parcel of the delinquent tax itself While
there may be strong equity in favor of
this application, so far as the remission
OF penalties is concerned, / am unable 10
find any legal authority for such action on
the part of the Commissioners.
Therefore am of the opinion that the
application should be denied"
