MET HI ASSESSORS.
State Tax Commissioners wingate in
the City.


John c. Wingate, a member of the State
Board of Tax Commissioners, was at the
Denison yesterday in consultation with the
Marion township assessors. Mr.. Wingate
has just completed the circuit of the coun-
ties north of the national road. in which
he has met with the county and township
assessors. advising with them as to their
duties. He says that on the whole the as
sessment this year will show an increase in
personal property. Cattle and sheep have
increased very materially, but this is more
than offset by the decrease in corn, wheat
and hogs. He said the mortgage exemptions
will show an increase of from % to 80 per
cent. The wheat crop, according to Mr..
Wingate, is almost a complete failure, but
the oats crop will be very large. He says
the assessors are progressing very smooth
ly, and few difficulties are being expe-
rienced by them. Next year the work of
supervision by the State Board OF Tax
Commissioners is likely to be much more
arduous, as there will be an entirely new
set of tax officers.

1t Is generally admitted by railway off,
Gals that the annual report of the Nickel
plate, showing operating expenses for 1899
to have been 81 per cent. of gross earnings.
goes far towards sustaining the allegations
that the road was a rate demoralizer, and
that the large operating expenses shown
in the report are mainly due to the pay
ment of rebates to shippers and others,
and which were charged TO operating ex-
penses. No other road has such an I'M
enviable reputation as a rate-cutter, both
on passenger and freight business. In fact,
IL is claimed that this road is Away in

TO shippers. In order to cover up this ir-
regularity, which Is in violation of the in
terstate commerce law, these rebates, which
amount to a vast sum during the year,

actions of the Nickel-plate have frequently
been brought to the attention of the Inter-

mission claims to be unable TO afford relief.

MORRIS PARK RACES.
Toboggan Handicap Won by Voter
and Larchmont Stakes by Kilogram.

NEW YORK, May S.-The Larchmont
stakes for three-year-olds and the Tobog-
gan Handicap were the features at Morris
Park to-day, and a large crowd was on
hand to see some high class sport. The
Toboggan attracted nine of the best sprint
ers in training and Voter, the even money
favorite, won easily. Contestor was the
first to show and he led his field at a merry
clip. A furlong from home Voter jumped
into the lead. while Firearm and Belle OF
Lexington looked dangerous. Voter was
never troubled, however, and came home
two lengths clear of his field. Maribert
closed very fast in the last sixteenth and
got up in time to beat Contestor a head for
the place. The Larchmont went to Kilo-
to 1.
