temperatures.

NEW YORK, Dec. g.-With the
eter marking s above zero, the coolest
weather Of the winter thus far prevailed
today. On Staten. Island the body of John
Stallenwarf, a blacksmith. was found in
the roadway. He had apparently been
frozen to death.
There was much suffering, especially
among the poor, because of the scarcity
and high price OF coal.
At the meeting OF the board Of aldermen
a resolution was unanimously adopted ask
ing the Board of Estimates and Apportion-
ment to authorize an Issue Of reserve bonds
to the amount OF 500 900 to purchase an
thracite to be distributed free to the poor
during the winter.
Perhaps never in the history Of the re-
tail coal trade in this city have dealers
had to face such a situation as confronted
them today. In every ONCE there we're
numbers Of anxious buyers and at the
same time eager inquiries for coal we're
constantly coming by telephone. To all
but a few the dealers were forced to turn
a deaf ear.
1--WE can't promise you more than one
ton and we may not be able to deliver that
for q day or two" was the stereotyped
feply to all demands for fuel.
The situation was admitted to be ex-
tremely bad and, according to one dealer,
there appears to be no way of relieving 1t.
A tour of the East side today revealed
the fact that there is much suffering
among the poor. The operators have
ceased to send coal to be sold by the pail
and the tenement dwellers find # dlnicult
to get fuel.
The Salvation army also reports wide
spread distress occssioned by the coal
famine.
b Schenectady. N. Y, Dec. 9.-Bitter
cold weather prevails here. The Their
mometer registered 20 degrees below zero
at Q a. m. 1t IL next to impossible to
procure coal from local dealers and many
cases Of extreme suffering have been re-
ported.

BOSTON, Dec. 9.-"The coolest night since
December, 1888" was the statement OF the
Weather bureau othcials in this city with
reference TO the temperature last night
The thermometer at the weather station
went to s below zero during the night
and at s a. m. was 8 below.
Reports from places In the vicinity Of
Boston indicated temperatures ranging
between 20 below and s below during the
early morning.

vslue OF the Terminal.
These net earnings capitalized on a 5
per cent. basis, IT Is stated, would show
the fair cash value OF the criminal prop
erty TO be 100000. But the complaint
states that by reason OF the location Of
said system and the prospects Of the city
Of Omaha and the state Of Nebraska and
the command said terminal system gives
over the freight business OF said city, tho
value OF said terminal system is much
larger than its present net earning value:
that on April "a, 1894, the said Union Pa
scihc Railway company. predecessor OF the
Union Pacific Railroad company. in a liti-
cation with the state Of Nebraska pro-
duced Virgil @. Bogue as an expert witness
upon the value Of the properties Of said
railroad company. Then is quoted at some
length the testimony OF Mr.. Bogue. in
which he placed an estimate Of $1,000 900
on the terminal property. but said he did
not believe IL could be bought IL vacant for
less than SIS, 900, 600 and that IL It was &C.
cupled by private parties he did not believe
il could be purchased"
The complainant submits that the pres
ent value OF the terminal system is greater
than Il was in 1894 and that Il is now
worth SIS. O00, 900. This rmina system, IT
is stated. was wholly omitted from the
1903 assessment, and the board is there
fore asked TO place 1t upon the assessment
rolls at SIS, 100000.
shops and shop Grounds.
In it's sixth complaint the document takes
in the machine and repair shops Of the com
pany and the land upon which they are To-
Gated. The grounds are estimated to be
worth $500. 900; the impro Vements 81, 900, 900,
and the machinery and supplies 81, 900, 900.
The complaint states that a great deal Of
this property has been omitted from the
assessment and the board is asked to in
crease the valuation upon this portion Of
the company's holdings from s3eS, 200 to 81
800, 900.
And finally in a closing paragraph Of pc
tition the complainant ''prays that the said

Toward the close Of yesterday after
noon, F. A. Nash appeared before the board
to show cause why the assessment OF the
New Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric
company should not stand as raised by the
tax commissioner. from t442, 900. as re-
turned by the company, 10, $500 900. Mr..
Nash said that apparently the board had
a wrong impression OF the value Of the
company's property, and a. FAR as he could
See this must be due to a false estimate Of
the new subway as an addition to the
plant. He pointed out to the board the
fact that this new underground system.
while not adding to the earning power of
the plant in any respect, did convert into
mere junk a great quantity Of wires and
poles and transformers and other mate
rial that formerly had had a Ttilitarian
value. This condition. he said, would ma
turally detract from the inventory valua-
tlon Of the property. Of the company. Mr..
Nash also stated that not long ago experts
from the east, who came for the purpose
Of placing a purchase value upon the prop
erty Of the company. had appraised the
entire Omaha equipment at s416,000 Mr..
Nash was requested in case he decided TO
open the question to furnish figures as to
the earnings and expenses Of the Omaha
plant, and also the entire property sepa-
rately, as he said he was ready to do. 1t
was found in the discussion between Mr..
Nash and the board hat $500. 900 Of the
company's bonds had been omitted in
making the return, and the board held
that these should be included, while Mr..
Nash argued that they should not. While
Mr.. Nash suggested a compromise on $475,-
900, this proposition was rejected and he
was advised first to inquire into the ques-
ton Of law.
Some Changes Made.
In the course Of the Afternoon the assess
ment OF. the Chicago Lumber company was
increased from SOS, 900 to ss6.245 and that
Of the Sol Bergman Jewelry company re-
duced from $40, 200 to $4,000; and numer-
GUS minor changes made. O..
Among the Arms to appear before the
board was ]. L. Brandeis q Sons, but no
disposition was made Of that case. Mr..
Emil Brandeis spent some time in discus
sion with the board as to the value of his
firms building and the lease OF the grouId
upon which 1t stand and also the value
of the stock, but the board reserved its
decision.

which was increased from 500, 900 to $780,
900. Guiou 4 Ledwich we're increased from
$1,000 to $40, 900; Helm & Co., from 5000

Anumber of the cases heard in the course
Il the morning were continued to allow
further information to be presented or
aiken under adyisement by the board for
'ther reasons
Mr.. Carpenter Of the Carpenter Paper
company made ar earnest argument to the
OBJECT that mercantile capital should not be
assessed at more than half its value, while
other business institutions we're being as
sessed at full value. NJ. Levy of the Ne
braska Clothing company appeared and dis
cussed the Affairs Of his company with the
board. but no action was taken ON his case.
Others who appeared and whose cases
were not decided were w. J. Broatch and
the Omaha Daily News. An attorney came
before the board on behalf Of George Hoag-
land, lumber dealer, but the board re-
quested that the house be represented by
some person familiar with its business
affairs.
