1t has been proposed to amend
the city charter to the effect of
returning property the same as
for state and county taxes. This,
with other revenues, would pro-
vide for all emergencies, sinking

If the proposed amendment is
made we will see an influx into

In order to forestall the ex-
pected demands for a reduction
of the tax rate, by reason of the
vast improvements during the
last fiscal year, and a general in
crease in assessable values, the
assessments and equalizations
we're conducted in a clandestine
manner, to leave the tax payers
in total ignorance of what was
going on-a proceeding which
was a clear violation of the char
ter.
One of the aldermen offered

one much older.

Suicide OF JILTED WoMAN.-Jilted
on three occasions by men who had
promised to marry her, and having after
each of the first two times unsuccessfully
tried to commit suicide, Mary Eyakory,
Russian servant, "a years old, made a
third and final attempt to end her life in
New York Yesterday, and was found
dead with gas tube in her mouth at
the house where she was employed. Two
years ago the woman arrived in New
York from Russia with the intention OF
marrying man whom she had known
in her native land. She found him mar"
ried, with family of two children, and
attempted suicide. She then paid $500
to a "schatchen," or Hebrew matri-
monial broker, to arrange a marriage,
but the intended bridegroom withdrew,
and the woman took carbolic acid. Her
life was saved, however, and when she
had saved up another 5000 from her
wages she again resorted to the schat-
chen. who secured man who promised
to marry her. The engagement was an.
uounced last week and the event cele-
brated with a party. Later the woman
learned that the man she was going to
marry had wife and three children in
Russia. She was found dead yesterday.
