How It Cost the State $31,194.20 te Collect 82,750.50, PmiLapenpiia, Aug. 1.—City Treas- urer Wright yesterday communicated to Auditor General McCamant the resul of an investigation by his officers inte the matter of the assessment and collec tion of the mercantile tax for the years 1889 and 1890. He says it has been found that the lists are padded with the names of persons who are dead, of people whe had removed, and of small shep kee ’ whe were not liabg to the tax, i whom nothing could be collected, yet the appraisers charged sixty-two and one-half cents for every one of these names which they placed upon their lists. The magistrates costs to the state for collecting $2,726.50 in 1890 amounted to $31,194.20. He asks the anditor general to advise him as to what action he shall take to purge the lists, In his letter Mr. Wright says: “In the course of my investigations it has been established to my satisfaction that firms and individuals engaged in business have been exempted, although the volume of business transacted by them clearly jus tified and required the assessment and ayment of t mercantlle license tax. This irregularity becomes the more ap arent and prominent because of the act that in the same vicinity or locality with them there were found many per sons assessed and who are delinguent who never should have been assessed at all.” UNCLE SAM IS RICH.

One section of the pier was begun on the New Jersey shore and built out, and the other section was begun oat in the river and built in. Last week there was trouble by the great flow of water through the gap. Contractor McLeon's pile driver was sunk there, and is still on the bot- tom of the river. A new contractor was engaged to assist in the work. It was then discovered that if the work was continued the two ends, instead of meet- ing, would lop over each other.

PIrrseure, Aug. 4.—Major McKinley, Republican candidate for governor of Uhlo, accompanied by his wife and party of friends from East Liverpool, O,, were in Pittsburg last night. “What about your wool schedule, which the Ohio Democrats are raising such a ram- pus about,” was asked the major. “That rumpus yon speak of won't make any political capital. The prevailing prices of wool are lower becanse the price of wool is down all over the world. The wool schedule has not had a fair show, because before the bill went into effect the market was gutted with foreign wool and foreign goods.” Tried to Cremate an Official, ABERDEEN, 8.
