taxes for 1897 and 1888 on the 2 feet
inches next to the east q feet Of lot !,
souare 22S. assessed in the name Of Ma
tilda Clark The matter was referred to
the Tax Department, and II. II. Oar
nellie the Assessor, has reported on the
case as follows:
From 1854 to 1893 the above recited
property was assessed to Matilda Clark
and the taxes paid or Cancelled mp to and
including the year 1886, from which date
the taxes are unpaid except where paid
bv sale. In 1897 the q feet inches next
TO the east % feet Of lot l, square 23S, was
sold for the tax Of 1896 and special assess
ment taxes to Robert Y. Slater, who
transferred his certificate Of sale to Al
bert Marshall, and said Marshall OBJ
tanned tax deed and the property was
transferred TO him in 1893, in whose name
the same is now assessed.
''NIr. Marshall obtained a decree from
the Chancery Court of the District of
Columbia. canceling all arrears OF taxes
prior To 1886. The taxes for 1897 and 1895
being unpaid, were advertised in the de-
Iinquent tax lists for said years as re-
quired by law, and bid off to the District
of Columbia.
"In 1900 and 1901 the taxes for 1899 and
1900 were duly advertised and sold at tax
sales TO c. II. Wiltsie.
1T is for the years 1871 and 1888 that
the applicant requests remission of pen
aIties and interest for the reason that
the assessment of the property in the
name of Matilda Clark after her death
invaIidated the assessment. II is sub
mitted that ii was not then incumbent
upon the Office to transfer property ac-
uuired by will. except where the parties
interested filed a copy of same in this
office and requested a transfer OF title.
This not having been done, 1t is pre-
sumed that they acquiesced in the man
uer in which the assessments were made.
1T also appears that the heirs of Ma
tilda Clark have no interest in this prop
erty at this time, as the title is now In
the name of Albert Marshall. The case
OF John r Shields, referred to by Mir.
Williams in his communication, is not
considered analogous to the facts in this.
In view of the facts recited above and
All the requirements Of law as To ad-
vcrtisements and sales being complied
with / see no reason for granting the
relief requested and the matter is sub
mitted with an adverse recommendation"
The action of the Commissioners. il is

PICKPOCKETS AT WORK.
Two Big Gangs Invade Fairmont and
Rob after Being. Ordered Ont.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, Nov. 2l.-This
city was visited by two separate gangs
of pickpockets and.thieyes this week
The first gang that became noticeable
arrived on Monday and yesterday they
were followed by another gang, in all
numbering about %. They came
from the West. They had no sooner
secured comfortable headquarters un-
TIL they were given orders by the police
force TO leave the city at once. They
boarded an east bound train last ey-
ening, and SO far as can be learned
they did not succeed during their brief
stay here, in committing any depreda-
tions. Among the gangs was an old
time crook, who has visited this place,
it is said, for several years past, espe-
cially when anything in the nature of
fair, or anything that would likely
draw large class of moneyed people
to the city.
Word was received here late last
evening stating that two piekpockets
were headed in an eastern direction
and that two passengers aboard No.
4, due here at 9:35 p. M, had been
robbed between Wheeling and Gamer
on. One of the parties robbed was
DR.. Rinehart of Wyatt, Harrison
county, who lost about $l6. He did
not discover his loss until within a
short distance Of this city. A Mr..
Morris, wealthy farmer, who reaps
a considerable amount each month
from oil wells located on his farm ia
Marshall county, was the other victim.
Two we.l.dressed men approached the
old man near Moundsville, 1t is said,
and started a conversation. As he
stepped out ON the car step he was
relieved of his cash. At this point
the thieves left the train and so far
as can be ascertained are still at lib
erty.

rnE sUnooLT EAeHERs VICTORY.
The Wonderful Victory of two Plucky
Young Women.

A signal triumph has just been won
by two Chicago school teachers over
the most powerful corporations of
that city; and the more fully the de-
tails of the struggle become known,
the more remarkable their victory APP.
pears.
The appropriations for schools in
Chicago have long been inadequate,
and whenever the Board Of Education
needed 81, 900. 900 or s., 600, 000.for any
purpose, it has been in the habit 0f
deducting it from the teachers sala-
ries. A few years ago about 1000 of
the 5000 teachers In Chicago organized
a Teachers Federation. Having rea.
son TO believe that the shortage or
money was due TO the fact that most
Of the large corporations were eyading
their legal taxes, they appointed two
young teachers Miss Margaret Haley
and Miss Catherine Goggin a commit
tee to investigate. Then as the Bos-
ton Journal of Education says, 1.-THE
battle royal began between two little
sehoolmarms and all the most power
full corporations and trusts in the
state combined
The wemen's inquiries revealed a
most extraordinary state of things.
Up to 1875 the railroads of Illinois
had been assessed an annual tax on
their franchises. In 1874 the assess.
ment was $31, 200. 600; In 1875 only
81, 600, 900; and from 1876 TO the
present time they have not been as.
sessed at all. In 1874 the franchises
OF the two little horsecar lines which
Chicago then had were taxed at ST.
600, 600; but in 1899 the franchises OF
the 700 miles of electric and cable car
lines in Chicago were not taxed a
cent. About 1876 the railroads APP
parently found out that it was cheap
er TO bride the officials whose duty 1t
was to apportion their taxes than it
was to pay the tax. Other corpora
tions found out the same thing. OF
% large corporations that the teachers
investigated The majority we're not
assessed at all and the others were as
sessed or only small fraction Of their
actual property. These % corpora
tions were TIE gas aud coke company,
the telephone company, an electric
company and 200 street railway
companies.
The women tried to induce the
officials whose duty IL was TO tax
these corporations to tax them.
Finding that they were in league with
the tax dodgers and were determined
not 10 comply with the law the
women. engaged an able lawyer and
took legal action TO compel the OFF,
Gals To do their duty. The corpora
tlonS fought hard; they exhausted
every resource OF evasion and delay,
they appealed the case up from court
to court; but the law was clear and
the evidence OF fraud overwhelming,
and the Supreme Court Of Illinois has
ruled that they must pay. The decis-
ion will add millions every year to the
revenues Of Chicago. Hereafter there
will be money enough TO keep the
schools open the full term and to pay
the teachers their salaries. All the
other municipalities In Illinois will
also profit by the decision.
Are not those two plucky young
women worthy Of a vote?
