The legislature Of 1901 passed
law taxing all male dogs one dollar
and females three dollars the rev.

addition to the regular personal
property tax which was assessed by
the proper officer. The law was
considered unco Institutional at the
time by many but no one seemed to

THREE BAReEs PROBABLY LOST.
It is Believed That Thirteen People Have Gene
Down With Them
4By the Associated Press.

New York Feb. 4.--There is every rea-
son to believe that three barges coal
laden, from Newport News for Boston.
have been lost at sea as a result of the
storm on Sunday night, and that thirteen
people comprising the crews. have per-
ished.
The barges We're the Antelope Belle of
Oregon and Mystic Belle. Hhey were in
tow of the tug Richmond and the finding
of piece of wreckage bearing the let
ters 20. P. f." lends confirmation to
other information at hand.
The Antelope loaded coal at Newport
News for Boston. She was towed TO
New York by the tug Claverton and was
transferred to the Richmond, which was
to have towed her to Newport. During
the height of the blow the Richmond's
heavy towing hawser snapped and the
barges went adrift off Fire Island
The tug Richmond belongs to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. Agent Willet, of that company,
says that Sunday afternoon the Richmond
in command of Captain Mcconnell left
Liberty Island, in New York Bay, with
three barses in tow, coal laden. Each
barge had on board three men. Besides
these there were Captain Miller and his
wife. who acted as cook on the barge
Antelope; Captain Harding on the Belle
of Oregon and Captain Rogers on the
Mystic Belle: a total of thirteen persons.
The Antelope carried 1910 tons of coal.
the Belle of Oregon 1850 tons and the
Mystic Belle ,0SS tons.
Agent Willett was in telephonic COM
munica ton this afternoon with Captain
Mcconnell, who had reached Newport
r. j.
The barges, he said We're well out to
sea at o'clock on Sunday night off the
Long Island coast. The rope from the
forward barge parted and the barSes
were blown away from the tug.
Captain Mcconnell said he did not
give up the hope of rescuing the men on
the barges until it became too dark for
him To distinguish them. The tug ten
made for Newport.
Captain Mcconnell thinks the barges
ana those aboard of them have been lost.
