NASHUA RACING

A strong wind prevSited fast time IN

Guiding heat OF the race.
Luzaro was never headed after tho hrst
heat. The 2:is pace was the second extra

KNEW NOTHING OF PLOT
New King ReIterates His Former
Statement That He Was Ignorant

Geneva, June 12.-The new King of Ser
via was interviewed yesterday, upon the
representation Of a diplomat who urged
on him the wisdom Of an authoritative
statement. The King said:
Il was utterly ignorant Of the inten-
tions of the revolutionists."
AS he said this he turned for conhrma-
ton to the diplomat with whom he had
dined and had conversed on matters of
state three days ago, and added appeal
ingly:
You know that 1 expected nothing"
Asked by the correspondent what truth
there was in the report that he would
take the throne and then abdicate in favor
Of his son, he replied:
Il shall occupy the throne myself Il
possible to take 1T. am greatly gratifed
by the manifestations Of loyalty shown
towards me in servia. I have always
considered myself the rightful king, al
though not wishing or expecting blood

PRETENDER GOING TO BELGRADE
Prince Declares Himself Innocent Of
knowledge Of Tragedy.

Geneva. June u. Prince Peter
Karageorgevitch, whom the Servian
army has proclaimed king, has been
living in Geneva since 1891. He ap-
peared greatly astonished on receiv-
ing the news from Belgrade, which he
said had reached him through a pri-
vate telegram from Vienna.
lie said he had not yet received any
official notice regarding the events
which took place in Belgrade. He did
not even now whether it was true
that he ha been proclaimed king. and
he said he did not ,know when or
whether he would start for Belgrade
The new ministry, he added, included
several of his adherents, but he was
unable to speak definitely on this sub
iect. as a number of names had been
mutilated in telegraphic transmission.
The Russian consul, an intimate
friend of Prince Karageorgevitch,
made tho following statement:
prince Karageorgevitch declares
himself innocent of any knowledge of
the tragedy at Belgrade. He said
that through his grandfather he un-
doubtedly had the best right to the
Servian throne. and intended taking
Il If possible for the sake OF his son,
but he expected to meet with great
difficulties and hoped for assistance
from Austria"
From other sources II is learned
that the prince left secretly this
morning for Vienna, whence he will
proceed to Belgrade. Rumors have
been current here for three days Of ex-
pected trouble in Servia, and Prince
Karageorgevitch has been receiving
an enormous quantity Of kilograms for
week past, many Of them from the
frontier of Servia.
Russian money was undoubtedly
used in the revolution, which, accord
ing to general belief. was planned
here.

SWARMS OF WORKMEN
BUSY BUILDING ELEVATED
Operations on the Overhead
Road OF the Pennsylvania
Being Rapidly Pushed

All along the Pennsylvania tracks in this
city swarms of workmen are busily en-
gagged In building the elevated railroad, or
preparing for the walls. The contractors
are making the most Of the good weather
and before the snow falls IL is probable
all the masonry work on the elevated
structure will be completed. and the laying
Of tracks and other work that the cold
weather will not affect will be done dur
ing the winter.
BY next summer the trains will be run
ming over the new road, but in the mean
time the affairs Of local railroad men will
be IN badly mixed state.
With the moving to the new quarters at
Todd's Cut of almost all the departments
and the tearing up Of tracks for the walls
of the elevated road everything is in
state of disorder. The putting Of dinky en-
glnes lifting the heavy stones into place.
the ringing Of the chisels as they are
smoothed OF and cries of the teamsters
and foremen, and the running back and
forth OF the engines make excitement from
early morn until late at night.
The removing Of the shops and the build
ing Of the temporary passenger station will
be the next big moves in local railroad
circles The latter will occur first. 1t is
expected the present station viii be aban-
doncd in about a month, but the machine
shops and passenger car department will
not occupy the new buildings before the
first Of September.
The piling for the foundation of the new
yardmaster's office has been completed
and as soon as that structure can be fin
fshed Yardmaster Cantwell and his corns
of assistants will leave the Third street
office and occupy the new quarters which
are situated between Landlith and the new
roundhouse.
When all the departments are settled in
the new location, II will indeed be busy
place. All the railroad work viii practi-
cally be done there and with the new cut
offs taking the freight trains out Of the
city and the elevated completed. nothing
but Passenger trains will come through
here. This will mean fewer accidents and
better service in the city.

CAPITATION TAX

Solicitor Reinhardt

Fathers Last Nisht-Many speota-

Council last night were given treat Ia
the way OF an old-tlme session that
proved interesting and exciting Hot
words and lively tits were In order,
Councilmcn Smith and Kane appear
ing 20 play the leading parts In the
controversy
The trouble was brought about by
Mi. Smith presenting an opinion from
City Solicitor Reinhardt relative to the
rate Of caoitatlon tax fixed by the
Board OF Assessment and Revisions and
Appeals The letter was addressed to
Tax Collectors Eugene M. Sayers and
George H. Mccall. and was lengthy. Mr..
Reinhardt said In part that in his be-
lief the capitation tax fixed by the
Board of Assessment was Illegal be-
cause Il was not uniform, whereas the
Constitution expressly provides that
IL should be- He advised the tax col
lectors. however, TO copy the figures as
presented by the assessment board, but
TO lay the matter before Council and
have a resolution passed, II possible,
making the tax uniform.
Mr. Kane jumped uD after the opin-
ion had been read, and denied the tax
was not uniform, and defied anybody to
tell him otherwise. When asked why
the Board OF Assessment Of which he
was the chairman, had fixed a rate OF
s10O on some and 5000, $500 and $1,000
on others. he said; "The capltation tax
was fixed az 500 for everybody, and
all taxed in excess OF this amount we
assessed for their personal effects"
Councilman Monaghan seemed TO
think that the opinion was a reelection
on the Board of Assessment, and was
a serious matter. He thought the
subject should be laid over for ono
week in order to give the members who
did not understand the matter time to
; look into a.
Mr.. Smith objected to any delay and
made motion 70 accept the opinion

Scranton, Pa, June 12.-Fallure on
The part of the operators to pay the 2

the selection of conciliators, which will

have granted the additional increase

the reason for this.
An operator who was asked for ar
