very narrow one. They were returning
In a one-horse vehicle to their, home at the

been detained BY marketing and other
business Both were feeling tired after the
laoors of the day, and as the horse paced
slowly over the homeward route the couple
were overcome by drowsiness and grad
ually fell into a Hight sleep. The horse at
tached to their conveyance was a blind
one, but he had gone over the road so often
that they felt he could be trusted to take
them safely home even while they were
asleep. But their hopes were misplaced
Mr. and Mrs Thomas were aroused from
their slumbers to find that the horse and
vehicle had shot over the steep embank-
ment at kramer's green houses. The up

pinned them in, while the blind horse was

REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION.
Assistant Assessors Report on Har-
mOny Cemetery Proposition. ..

mOny Cemetery Proposition.
The District Commissioners have been
| asked to exempt the Harmony cemetery
property from taxation. The request is
| made by the Columbian Harmony Society,"
which is not incorporated. 1t is stated that
the property was once exempted, but June
-, 1899, in response to the inquiry of Com
missioner Beach, The attorney for the Dis
tr1ct of Columbia gave his opinion that
this property had been Illegally exempted
and quoted section 14S, Revised Statutes
to show that no cemetery other than those
Incorporated had any right to sell lots in
discriminatory for profit or income
Assistant District Assessor Griffin reports
to the Commissioners as follows:
while the opinion OF the attorney in
this case appears to be based upon the
language of section 14S, Revised Statutes
passed June %, 1854, attention is called
to later act passed by Congress March
3, 1877, which says: Cemeteries dedicated
and used solely Tor burial purposes and
without private income profit, shall be
exempt This being the last law passed
by Congress on the subject Of exemption
OF cemeteries
This 1880 acres of cemetery property
although not incorporated by any organic
act, is not held for private income or profit,
but Tor burial purposes only, and therefore
1t would seem that the 1890 acres noted
upon our ledgers exempt was so car
ried under the provisions of the act of
March 3, 1877.
by deed dated January 4, 1898, con-
veyance was made to John F. Cook, In
trust for use and benefit of the voluntary
association known as the Columbian Har-
mony Cemetery, as a cemetery for the bu-
rial of deceased colored persons under the
constitution. of a tract containing 1888
acres, which was added to the ground of
the old cemetery and used in connection
herewith for cemetery purposes. 1t would
appear that this tract of 1888 reg should
also be listed as exempt from July /, 1898,
under the act of March 8, 1877, above
quoted; but in view Of the former action
of the Commissioners in this matter and
the opinion of the attorney thereon, 1t is
recommended that this matter be again
submitted to the attorney, as to the ques-
ton whether the act of March 3, 1877, sec
ton 3, would warrant the exemption of
this cemetery from taxation

VIEWS OF Mr.. O'CONNELl
PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATION OF MA
CHINIsTs DISCUSSES STRIKE.
Men Returning to Work as a Strategic
Move Against Metal Trades
Association.

While President James O'Connell of the
international Association of Machinists
says he does not wish to enteer into
newspaper controversy regarding the situa-
ton of the Cincinnati machinists' strike,
his Information regarding conditions there
does not agree with the press dispa tches
Mr.. O'Connell is in constant teegraphic
communication with P. J. Conlon, first vice
president of the machinists organization
who has charge of the strike there. The
plan which is being carried out. and which
doubtless gave rise to the reports that the
men had given up the strike and returned
to work, was outlined to Star reporter
by Mr. O'Connell. as follows:
"As a strategic move against the Cincin-
natl employers who are members of the
National Metal Trades Association. we
have decided to allow the men who were
employed in shops not controlled by that
association to return to work under the old
conditions. The men who will thus return
to work comprise about 80 per cent of the
3,Goo men who are on strike in that city.
No men will return to shops controlled
by the National Metal Trades Association
either in Cincinnati or anywhere else. We
are in the fight against this association in
particular. No compromises have been
made so far with any of it's members, and
none will be made"
Financial Aid Furnished
In replying to the statement that no finan-
cial aid has been given the Cincinnati
strikers by the Machinists' Association, Mr.
OConnen said that more money had been
distributed among the strikers there than
IN any other locality since the general
strike began.
Several thousand dollars had been sent
from headquarters here before the 5000
which was sent last Friday he continued.
About 5000 men in the tube mills and
rolling mills at Reading returned to work
this morning, according to advices received
by MIR. O'Conne1, having been granted the
nine-hour day and increase of pay de-
manded. The American Fire Engine Com
pany and the International Fire Engine
Company, both of Seneca Falls. N. Y,
