Runaway Horse Made Things Lively
 For a Time.


 A horse owned by a Hebrew ped dler made things lively on Rubber ave ~nue last night at about o'clock by running away. The animal was left by it's owner standing near Stapleton's s corner. The horse was not hitched, but had a weight attached to its bridle and it was this weight which stopped the animals mad career. HOW the horse ever got by the many teams that were on the street without colliding with them is a mystery, but he did and ran as far as the old shop, where he stopped. No damage excepting q broken harness was sustained.

QUEEREsT OF ALL THEFTs.
< Not Very Particular Thief Carries OR seventy-Five SkunIxs With
 out Leaving Amy Trace.

Francis Woll, Montour county farmer, would like to Know who stole his skunlzs. Woll lately had 75 fine skunks. One night they were all talk ep away in bunch, and Wou has been nosing around the neignborhood ever since trying to strike the trail of the thief, says a Hazleton (Pa.) corre- spondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Its dummed strange he said last night, after a weary day's hunt, "that I can't strike nary trail. Now it stands to reason somebody stole them skunks, and it's equally sure it must "a been somebody what knows skunks pretty well, or the beasts would "a left trail I could follow''
 Woll esta blished skunk farm about six weeks ago in remote part of Mon tour county and stocked it with 75 skunks and 300 bull frogs, from both Of which he expected to realize con siderable revenue. especially from the skunks, which are becoming scarcer hereabouts every year, and conse- quently more valuable for commercial purposes.
 The industry thrived from the start, and Woll found that so long as the skunks were well fed they would not lose their temper unless roughly handled. Just about the time Wol be- gan to congratulate himself on his business sagacity some thief carried off his entire stock. The skunks were confined in an inclosure fenced in with woven wire. One morning last week when Woll went to the farm to feed his stock he found that the fence inclosing the pound had been torn down and every skunk was missing.

Bogus Coins Disturb Ponce Traders.
 SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Jan. 29.-- Governor Hunt has cabled to the treas ury department at Washington asking that an expert be sent here to settle the counterfeit question at Ponce, where $3,0O0 in bogus silver was recently seized. Business there is practically suspended. The merchants of Ponce are refusing to accept any silver coins of the dates of 1898, 1899, 1900 and 1901. The counterfeit dollars are poor ly executed, but the alleged spurious halves and quarters defy detection. They are apparently of the full weight. The bankers here have examined sam pies of the silver from Ponce and say the coins are good. There are no ex- perts here or at Ponce.

TAX MEASURES DISCUSSED.

Arum Bill Severely Amended by New
 York Senate Committee.
 ALBANY, N. r., Jan. 29.-For sew eral hours yesterday afternoon the senate committee on taxation and re- trenchment deliberated on the two principal tax measures now pending in the legislature, the Krum bill tax ing foreign corporations and the Stranahan mortgage tax bill. The Krum bill was amended in so many important particulars that little re- mains of the original measure.
 The foreign corporation tax bill is amended so that domestic and foreign corporations, with the exception of transportation and transmission com panies, are placed on the same footing. The organization tax for domestic cor porations is reduced from one-twen- tieth of l per cent to one-fftieth of l per cent.
 The license fee for foreign corpora tions, which answers to the domestic corporations organization tax, is re- duced from one-eighth to one-fftieth of l per cent
 The dividend tax on all corporations, excepting transportation and trans mission companies. is wiped out en- tirely. In it's place is a direct tax on the capital stock of one-tenth of l per cent on the first three millions, one twentieth of l per cent on the next two millions, up to and including five millions, and $50 per million for the balance.
 ''In other words" said Senator krum in explaining the amendments that had been made, the provisions are substantially those in the New Jersey law, and I think they are exactly the same provisions"
