SUITS FOR Personal TAN.
Omciais Deny That Oppression Is Prac.
tised Oh the Exempt.

Since Gov. Odell stated In his speech at
the Republican Club four weeks ago that
one Of the reasons for the large Democratic
ma jority In this city at the last election
was that many people had been annoyed
by the action of the Corporation Counsel
in bringing suits against persons who had
refused to pay personal taxes improperly
levied Mayor Low has received many COM
plants from citizens concerning the ac-
tivity OF the Bureau for Collection of Ar
reare of Personal Taxes.
The officials Of the bureau say there is
no ground for these complaints. The
greater part of the arrears which have
been recovered, il was learned yesterday,
have been paid by corporations and es-
tatee. So far as individuals are &C ncerned
suits have been brought. the officials say,
only against people who seemed to he sys-
tematic tax dodgers. About 5000 suits
have been begun during the present ad-
rninistration, while az the beginning Of the
wear when Mayor Low came into Office
there we're found pending no LEES than
IS, 90 suits in which recovery was mpos-
sible for the reason that the defendants
either did not own personal property or
had been unjustly assessed.
From Jan. 1 last TO Dec. is the bureau
succeeded in collecting about $4,000 more
than had been recovered in the previous
seven years. In Il q q seven years the ar
rears collected amounted TO 1877 .787. OF

CAPTAIN DREAMED or RESCUE.
Fulnlment Of His Dream by the Rescue
Of Crew Of Schooner NOkomls.

HALIrAx, n. s., Dec. ?0-The Allan Line
steamer Peruvian has arrived from Liver
pool after a most tempcstuous voyage and
having lost two propeller blades. as pre-
viously reported from st. Johns, n. F.
She rescued Capt. Curtis and crew of the
British schooner Nokomis adrift ON the
coast OF Newfoundland for nine DAYS.
The schooners crew had no water during
that time and had nothing to eat but rice
boiled in salt water. The ship had no
sails. was helpless and was leaking so
badly that il was feared every moment
that she would sink. The pumps were
frozen w and the ship from stem to stern
was a mass of ice. The crew were with
difficulty taken of by the Peruvian.
Capt. Curtis said that for nine DAYS they
had hoped against hope. On Saturday
night he had o curious dream. As the
hour grew late. his mind and body tired,
he lay down and dreamed that q steamer
was coming to rescue them. So vivid
was the dream that on waking he went
on deck TO sec II IL was true, but no sail or
steamer met his gaze. The day passed
and at night again he had the same dream.
At noon on the following day the Peruvian
bore down and the poor men huddled
around the rail. frantic with JOY at
what they considered deliveranoe from
certain death. The Peruvians captain
says hat If the stea mer had not been driven
50 far south by the loss of her propeller
blades thcy would have never run across
the Nokomis.

four hours a working day is prejud-
icial to the constitutional pursuit
