Firebug's Conscience
 Causes His Arrest

New York, July 7.-James Hunter Wright of 460 West Twenty third street, an art dealer with a trouble some conscience walked into the Dis trict Attorneys office yesterday after noon and asked to be arrested for set ting fire to his art shop back in 1905. Wright seemed to be sane enough, but apparently he had his doubts as to how the confession would be taken, for earlier in the day he had sent his cousin, Alexander Fisher, to Acting District Attorney Smyth to ask if a surrender would be acceptable. Fisher was told to bring in the erring one and a few hours later he came back with Wright.
 To Assistant District Attorney Turn bull Wright explained that his con- science had given him no peace since the fire. He had travelled, but he hadn't been able to go far or fast enough to get away from his con- science, and had at last decided that maybe the troublesome thing would quit if he was locked up in the Tombs.

GOV. BROWNS SON
 SUED FOR DIVORCE

Baltimore, Md, July 7.-Charging that her husband set his bulldog on her. twisted her arms, pulled her hair. compelled her to take off his shoes him, the wife of Frank Snowden Ridg- ley Brown, only son of former Gov. Frank Brown, has applied to the courts for absolute divorce. She also instituted suit against the young mans father, charging him with alienation of her husbands affections and de- manding $1O0,0 damages.
 Young Brown was married on Oct. city by the Rev. Henry M. Warren in New York. The wedding was sur prise to society and club circles, in which the Browns are prominent.
 Mrs. Browns bill for divorce also charges her husband with misconduct ing himself with other women; that he struck her, kicked her, and used pro- fane language to her; that he insulted and humiliated her in the presence of her friends; that he brought women companions to his wife's apartments and forcibly excluded her, locking the door on her.
 It is further alleged that he fre- quently threw food in her face when on one occasion he threw a pin in her face; on still another occa sion, when visitors were present, as Mrs. Brown charges, he threw a pack o1 PidyluS III 1cT IdCe. SQ0 dlSO stated that he would destroy her clothes and articles of personal adorn- ment while friends were present.
 At one time, the complaint says, he aimed a revolver at her, threatened her life, and compelled her, long after the proper hour for retiring, to get up and wait on some of his jolly friends serving. them with food and drink. This was on the occasion of the stop over here of Massachusetts regi- ment on its way to Washington.
 Mrs. Brown says that once, when her husband came into her apart ments with his bull dog and threat ened to set the brute on her, several of her friends were present. She re- monstrated with him because of his many cruelties, she says, and he in- formed her that he had only just be- gun- Fearing the bulldog, she fled and took refuge with friends. Subse- quently, she returned to her parents home.
 Another of Mrs. Browns charges is that her husband is excessively ad- dfcted to alcohol, and has not proper 1y supported her. The bill says that that from the mid-winter holidays to the present time he has given her less than s100 Accordingly an order was submitted for alimony and for an in junction restraining young Brown from disposing of his property for the purpose of defeating his wife's mari. tai rights. as she alleges he has threatened to do.
 Judge Elliott signed an order allow ing Mrs. Brown $50 a week temporary and $250 counsel fees.

New. York's Tax
 List is $7.25O, 50O,OOO

New York July With the presen-
 .<ation of the tax books for the pres ent year to the Aldermen yesterday
 by the Board of Tax Commissioners and, their consequent opening to the
 public it became evident that the fore
 east Of a nine-point rise in the tax rate this year will probably prove to
 be no exaggeraion. The total asses Eed valuation of the city is fixed by (which s6,so7. 7.17s.7o4 is in realty and s443. 32o. sS5 in personal property. Of fhis total s$4, ,946.6 ,920 is assigned to Manhattan and $476.66s.679 to the Bronx.
 i The increase in the assessed valua- tion of the city this year is less than years past has been from $400. 900 to $500, ,0Oo. 900. This naturally accounts Tor the large increase in the tax rate 6his year. The normal increase is us- naliy from six to seven points, but this year it will undoubtedly go from 1.61 to no.
 porate real estate and $18.000.000 de- crease in special franchise taxes. This is due to- the decisions of the courts treducing the valuations Of many or the large corporations on which they have been taxed. When the Consol fdateda Gas Company saw that the eighty-cent gas law would undoubted- iy be confirmed. it immediately took hhe question Of its valuation to court and won a very profitable decision. Other corporations followed its exam ple The personal assessment roll shows a $7,O00, 900 increase. but it is fheId that this is not as large as it might have been. The swearing off, this year was very large. The failure of thes city to start the Fourth Avenue subway and other projected improve nnents is given as a reason for the failure of real estate values to take their usual rise.

Two Placer Gold
 Strikes Near Victoria

Victoria, B. C., July By a freak coincidence two placer gold discover ies, both of which promise important mining camps, have been made all travel respectively of British Colum- bias two chief cities, Victoria and Vancouver.
 Seymour Creek, where J. L. Mar riott, an Australian, has made the lucky touch, is indeed but five miles distant from Victoria, and already it is staken virtually to it's source Mar riott and his seventeen associates have been banning five weeks near Seymour canon, the gold running 20 cents to the pan.
 The gold is found in the sands of the creek bottom and shores and in the old basin southwest of the pres gun, and when the turbulent stream has subsided to summer placidity large forces of men will seek the golden harvest.
 The Vancouver Island discovery is at Port Renfrew, on the southwestern Leechtown, the scene of British Co., lumbia's first gold mining and the pio- neer colonial capital now boasting a popula ton of one lone Chinaman, the occupant of the original Government house. The new finds are on Sombrio River. They are seemingly a contin- uation of the same deposits which at Leechtown returned $6O,OO0 in the first months working.

The disease in the meantime spread all over the face and the eyes began to swell. I became very anxious. The itching grew intolerable. l had to tie the baby's hands to the cradle to prevent her scratching. The cheeks were covered with blood and it was a terrible sight to see. I consulted doc tors from September to December, but athey were unable to cure the baby. I spaid out from twenty to thirty dollars without relief.

where he attended the big family re-
union" of the c. NJ. He had a good
time; he went over the entire system of
the road: he met many old friends, and
he came back with renewed enthusiasm
to put in some good ticks for the Mid
land the coming year. He brought back
with him a neat little pamphlet entitled
THE Midland Family" 1t contains
thumbnail pictures and biographical
sketches Of representatives of the Mid
land outside Of the state of Colorado,
and this Is said about Harding:
L. H. Harding is an admirer Of
Brigham Young and the erstwhile Alb

zephyr from Kansas to Colorado, and
used to herd sheep at Carbonate. Is

RUM0RS CONCERNING
D. & R. 6. CIRCULATED

The Denver Times believes that W. L.
Park, general superintendent OF the
Union Pacific, is slated to succeed A.
G. Ridgway as general manager of the
Denver & Rio Grande. That paper says
that many rumors concerning the Den
yer & Rio Grande being taken over by
Hartman are being discussed, and the
arrival in Denver Of Vice President c.
II. Schlacks is awaited with a great
deal of interest To make the rumor of
Parks selection seem plausible, the
Times states that two months ago when
Parks was offered the position of gen.
eral manager of the Chicago Great
Western he declined upon advices from
the Union Pacific headquarters that
Hartman would soon acquire great
increase of mileage over which he would
be asked TO take control.
None OF these rumOrs is credited here,
When Mr.. Ridgway resigned it was
reported here that the Office of general
manager would be done away with on
the Denver &; Rio Grande and that the
duties Of the Office would be assumed by
the vice president.
