Six suits to quiet title, with the city
as an interested party, are now pending
in the district court and their consid-
GRAFTON by the court, and the possible
outcome, threatens to render worthless
St PauPS entire system of assessments
and make void every city certificate
now outstanding which has delinquent
tax property for it's lien.
The whole trouble arises from a
slight error in the charter and a de-
cision handed down by the supreme
court in which a state claim is given
priority over a city claim, and to the
extent that any claim the city may
have is practically annulled. This only
applies to delinquent -burdened
property, but in itself operates to the
extent of annulling assessments for
street improvements often running into
the thousands, compelling their pay
ment out of the general fund, instead
of by the property which is benefited.
These assessments form the basis of
large blocks of city certificates is
sued every year and which find ready
sale, but if the new order of things
prevails they will be rendered worth
less and no one will buy them.
The latest snarl in the assessment
system arises from the delinquent tax
sales of 1898 and 1895, and holders of
the certificates issued under these sales
are rushing into the courts to take adj
vantage of the decision rendered by
the supreme court giving their tax cer-
tif1cates priority over the city certif-
lcates. By a combination Of interests

presented for payment repudiate it

gives.
City Is Turned Down.
Anticipating some of the suits the
legal department has been endeavoring
to compromise the city's claims to the
best advantage, but in the majority of
cases. the holders Of the tax certif-
icates have fatty refused to recognize
the cfty's claim in any manner. The
amounts now at issue are small, but
they threaten to grow in extent
The present mix-up is one of the
worst the city has encountered in
years, attacking as it does a part of

False Calves.

The necessity of wearing knee
breeches at the coronation ceremonies
has called the attention of many OF
those who will participate to the fact
that their neither limbs are not as full
az could be desired, and steps have
been taken to remedy this fault. 1t is
learned that extensive orders for arti-
fetal calves for human legs have been
placed in France in view of the cere-
monies. Now that the United States
has decided to send representatives to
the coronation the dealers who are
making the artificial calves are expect
ing orders from the other side Of the

The Speculative Craze.

One of the most prolific sources of
speculation during these boom days,
seems to be oil, oil wells, gushers and
gushers TO be, Judging from the circu-
lars received at the LEADER Office from
oil agents who, according to their cir
culars, are just dying to give you a
chance to get in. on the ground floor
and make fortune at jump. Their
principal desire is for you to send them
cash, always cash, nothing but cash,
and they will do the rest.
There is no doubt but many fortunes
have been made out of oil, and many
more will be made, but the hundreds
or thousands who buy little oil stock
now under the general craze will, in,
years to come, wonder what became
of their money while the other fellows
will wonder what has become of The
suckers. Men who have dead sure for
tunes in sight don't go around the
country hunting up gudgeous. A man
or a company who has ''sure thing"
money maker can find all the capital
at home to do business with. Men
who go around the country trying to
make you rich are safe men to let
alone. The present speculative craze
will ruin many and cause others to
wonder how it was done. If there are
any in Canton anxious to make money,
with ample assurance of safe invest
ment, let them put their money at
work at home where they can watch
and see it grow. No better illustra.
tion is needed than to call attention to
the gentlemen who have just organized
a company to manufacture Disc Sharp
eners in Canton, thus helping to build
up the town and promote business.
Canton needs plow manufac tory, and
new opera house, and while there
may not be such brilliant promise of
rapid money making in these as in an
oil well, the venture is safer and you
will be doing something to help build
up your home town.

LIVE WIRE DEAD BOY.
Negro Youth Instantly Killed.
at Washington and
Cary Streets.

Willie Watkins, a negro boy about l0
years of age, was instantly killed yester-
day afternoon about 4SO o'clock at the
corner of Washington and Cary streets by
the current from live wire which haO
fallen to the ground.
Shortly after noon yesterday one OF the
lighting wires of the Passenger and Pow
er Company came in contact with the
branches of tree at the corner, and
burning out. fell to the ground. There II
lay until 5 o'clock, when Mr.. Il. T.
Guvernator,s who runs store across the
street. called up the company's offices. at
the corner of Ninth and Main streets. and
notified them of the fallen wire and the
danger connected with it. The small boys
in the neighborhood were not long in
discovering the "liveness," and had con-
verted it into plaything, moving it about
from place to place to see 1t spit and
splutter.
An hour and a half elapsed and no re-
pairs were made. Finally the little negro
Watkins walked up the street. and not
realizing the danger, picked the wire UP
in his right hand Without a culver he
dropped to the ground, dead. while the
wire continued to burn into his hand until
Mr.. J.. o. Comps came out of his house
and kicked it clear of the boy. Mr..
James Boyles was the only witness to the
accident.
The Coroner was notified, He got the
names of those present, after which he
ordered the body to be turned over to
A. w. Bennett, funeral director.
The little negro was the son OF George
Watkins. His mother is dead, and he was
raised by his grandmother, Della Wat
kins. who lives in the rear Of No. 12O5
west Grace street.
When the undertaken arrived the grand
mother, shrieking with horror, rushed
upon the scene and refused to let him
have the body. The officer in charge,
following the directions of DR.. Taylor, Or
dered Bennett to take the body.
An inquest will be held this morning at
II o'clock at the Third Police Station.

NEW SOUTHERN TRAIN
To Leave Here at $50 A. M
for Greensboro, Via
Danville.

The Southern railway, on November I'd,
will inaugurate a new train, which has
long been desired by the business commu-
nifty of Richmond.
This new train will leave Richmond at
$50 A. NJ, and arrive at Danville ll:2O
a. NJ, Greensboro about 1920 noon; Sal
isbury about 2:so P. NJ, and arrive at
Charlotte about 3:45 P. NJ.
This train will take the place Of train
No on the Southern railway, which
now leaves Richmond at 1915 A. M, and
the advantage to the business men Of
Richmond lies in the fact that nearby
points in Virginia and North Carolina
are brought into closer trade relations
with Richmond.
Connections will be made at Danville
by this new train with the Southern
railways 'Transcontinental Fast Mail
Train,' which will arrive at New Or
leans the following morning at n:3O
O. clock
At the same time the Southern railway
will! change the schedule of No. g. so that
it will leave Richmond at 1 P. NJ, instead
of 2:3O p NJ, as heretofore; and this
train will carry the Richmond and Bir-
mingham sleeping-car, and make lmme-
date connection al Danville for New Or
leans. Jacksonville, Nashville, and all
points South
1t is understood that when these
changes are made the through train ser
vice of the Southern railway, now ope-
rated from Washington via Richmond,
will be discontinued north OF Richmond.
but the same connection will continue
from Richmond, south, with the addi-
tional improvements Of fast mail SER
vice from Richmond by reason of the
early morning departure afforded by the
new train from Richmond.

Morgan on board the latter's steam yacht

After the conference Secretary Root
drove to the Twenty-third street ferry,
where he checked his bag for Washington
and sent three kilograms.
One of these was addressed to President
Roosevelt personally, and briefly put him
in possession of the results of the con-.

What occurred during the conference
no one save the President and the men
directly concerned knows at this time.
Neither Secretary Root nor Mr. Morgan
would discuss the matter after leaving the

taken up by. Secretary Root alone. Mr..

from his own point of view, and that Of
the coal operators. He advanced the ar
gumeuts which have been repeated SO of

Secretary Root was persistent, however.
and Mr. Morgan was invariably brought
back to the Presidents position and his
declaration: "The strike must end, wheth-

to the miners or not. If the operators
will not END it. the United States gov
