ANNUAL STATEMENTS.
Reports Of Different State Corporations RC
ceived Here.

4 large number of annual state
ments of different Maryland corpo-
rations, required to be made under
the acts of 1896 as amended by the
acts of 1902, are being received daily
at the Office of the State Tax Com
missioner here.
This report is required to be made
prior TO March 10 of each year and
concerns all corporations, whether
subject to n special state tax or not.
Failure to comply with the law sub
icets the delinquents to a fine of 5000
and an additional payment of 500 as
counsel fees.
The penalties of the acts have never
been enforced, but as the provisions
are becoming we'll known il is pos
sible that they may be at any time.
For long time the impression pre-
vailed that the law does not apply to
building associations or ordinary bus
mess corporations not subject to
special tax, but this is erroneous, and
those connected with most of these
have been informed upon the subject.
Statements have been received from
most of the public service corporations
and financial institutions, and these
have generally been accompanied by
a check in settlement of the years
taxes, there being a discount of D
per cent. for payment during the
month of January.

SAVIOR UNTHANKED
NEWARK MAN MADE FOURTH
RESCUE.

David Galloway. of 104 Orchard
street, an ironworker employed on the
new Carnegie Steel Company's build
ings at Waverly, has been receiving
congratulations from friends who have
heard of a heroic rescue he made last
Sunday afternoon at Midland Beach.
Although he has made light OF his act,
his action of Sunday was the fourth of
like nature that he has performed.
The name of the man that Galloway
saved was not ascertained. The man
had gotten beyond his depth while
swimming, when he was seen to throw
up his hands and give a shout for help.
Galloway had been swimming nearby
and at once struck out for the man. There
We're many other men In the water at the
time, but none of them attempted to go
to the assistance of Galloway and the
other man until two Of the life-savers had
their attention called to the need for their
services.
They went out and assisted Mr.. Gallo
way in bringing the man to shore. He
was in seml-conscious state. and Gallo
way was so exhausted that he had to
be cared for also.
The man saved went away without
thanking Galloway. Galloways last previ-
Gus experience of the same nature was in
New Orleans.

murdered his wife, Annie, with an AK,
and with the same weapon attacked
Victoria Napoli, an italian servant,
who probably went to the rescue of her
mistress. The servant died a short
time later in a hospital In this city.
The home of the Horners is situated
In a lonely part of Camden County.
About a month ago Horner had trouble

We're employed for the trucking season

when discharged made threats of
vengeance, Horner said, and one of
them threatened to destroy his house
and barn by fire.
About o'clock this morning Horner
awoke, and from the window of his
bedroom saw a red glare. He arose
and saw that his barn, quite o large
structure, was in flames. He ran to
the structure and saw that the fire had
spread beyond the possibility of his
coping with 1t single-handed. Fearing
that the fire might be carried by the
wind to his home, he left the barn to
its fate and hurried back to the house,
intending to arouse his wife and SER

Upon entering the house he heard
