RAJTOEAUD CHARGED
Against the Mercantile Appraisers
of the Quaker City.
A DBHAKD FOE THEIR REMOVAL.
Treasurer "Wright Alleges a Systematic
Scheme of Swindling.
PECULIAR METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
tftPECML TEI.EGKAM TO THE MSrATCH.J
Philadelphia, Sept. 1. City Treasurer
"Wright to-day took another and highly im
portant step looking to the correction of the
gross abuses he has found to have been con
nected with the collection of the mercantile
taxes. On July 30 Mr. "Wright addressed a
letter to Auditor Genarel McCamant, in
which he informed him of the illegal meth
ods that had been employed by the mercan
tile appraisers and suggested heroic reme
dies. As that letter lias not yet been an
swered the Treasurer, late Monday after
noon, mailed a communication charging the
appraisers with deliberate fraud, and re
questing the Auditor General to join with
him in dismissing the offending officials
from office. The letter is as follows:
TDEAn Sib On July 30 I had tho honor to
address you upon the subject of the Irregu
lar, Improper and illegal practices existing
la connection with the administration of the
present Board of Mercantile Appraisers, ap
pointed by yourself and John Bardsley, late
Treasurer of the city or Philadelphia. The
facts of which I -was then aware fully justi
fied uiy letter of complaint.
CHARGED WITH CRIME.
Subsequent investigations, -which I nave
conducted with care, warrants my charging
that the appraisers have been cuilty not
ouly of dereliction of duty, but-of what may
well be considered criminal misconduct, so
gross as to justify my now stating tbat it
would bo unfair nnd unjust to the public to
permit tnem to longer continue in omce.
The additional evidence of which I am pos
sessed! will be pleaoed to submit to you in
detail at any time. It discloses.
First That tlie appraisers have regularly
and deliberately, for the purpose of defraud
ing the State, assessed fictitious persons and
those from whom no payment of mercantile
taT.es was, or could be, exacted.
Second That they hate recularly ex
empted fiom the payment of the tax tlio-o
who were subject to and perfectly able to
pay it.
Third That they have grossly under-rated
many hundreds of prominent merchant and
dealers lor purpo-es bestl.uoMii to them
selves. Fourth That they sent out notices of
assessment placing certain taxpayers in a
high class, while they have returned them
to this department as-essed in a lower class,
thus enabling third parties to collect from
the taxpayers the larger sum, while the
smaller amount only was paid into the
treasury, and the State was defrauded of the
difference.
Fifth That their plans as to reductions
and exemptions has been a systematic
scheme of swindling, -which has resulted in
variably in oppression to the citizen, in loss
to the State and in demoralization to the
community.
POWER OF THE ACT.
The act of Assembly, approved April IS,
1ST5, and generally known as the recorders'
act, gave the power of appointment of the
mercantile appraisers to the State Treas
urer and the Recorder of Philadelphia. In
case of misbehavior or misconduct tho right
to remove the appraisers was vested in the
Recorder. In 1SS3 the Eocorder's act was re
pealed, and in 1SS7, by act of April SO, the
power to appoint appraisers wasvestedin the
Auditor General and City Treasurer. Koth
ing -was said in this act about the right to
remove. It does not seem unreasonable to
suppose that it was intended tbat the City
Treasurer, who took the place of the Ee
corder, should possess the power formerly
enjoj ed by tho latter; yet, the authority not
being expressly given to the City Treasurer
alone to remove, it may be somewhat doubt
ful whether he posseses that right.
However, as the Anditor General and the
City Treasurer constitute the appointing
power under the present law, upon princi
ple and authority, there can be no doubt
that Jolntlv they possess the right to remove
the nppral-ers tor misconduct.
1 now ask jou in behalf of the State and
of the public whose interests we are both
6worn to protect, to join with mo in dismiss
ing Troui omce, Edward W. Fatton, Albert
Crawford, aamnel F. Houseman, Harry Hun
ter and James P. Bell, constituting the pres
ent Board of Mercantile Appraisers of and
for the city and county of Philadelphia.
Awaiting j our reply, I am, yonrs respect
fully, W. E. Wright, City Treasurer!
IX THE SOUTHWEST
THE M'DONAT.D POOL IS "OT SHOW
ING CrSO HEAVILY LATELY.
Several -"Wells In the Fifth Sand, and
Itatlier Dusty More Expected to Get
the Lower Stratum To-Day A Short
Review of Butler County Work.
The field reports yesterday were some
what bullish. The McDonald pool, which is
looked forward to as the great producing
territory, is not so productive as was at
first supposed The well of Hardman
& Co., or. the Sauters three acres
was reported lai night ns practically
drv in the fifth sand. It is located not over
100' feet east of theRoval Gas Co.'s No 3, on
the hauters farm, ihfcli started off at 150
bairels au hour and then suddenlv dropped
out of sight. Its production ceased without
a moment's warning and since then only a
lew barrels a day have been gotten out of the
well by numping It is presumed that the
Sauters No. 3, of the Itoval Gas Company,
drained the sand around tho well. George
S. Martin & Co 's well, on the Heiser lot, 100
feet south ir the Sauters Xo 3, will get the
Gordon sand this week. Wallace & Co s
well, on the Smith lot, is nn exception to the
small wells of jestcrday. It is located about
BOO feet cast of the Butler lo well and is
flowing at the rate of 12 barrels an hour
from the fifth sand. The reports from Shaf
fer & Co.'s well on the Fannv Johnson lot
last evening were to the effect that it was
maklnjr 250 barrels a dav, 125 of which came
from the Gordon sand. Audv, Gartland &
Co., on the De Koy lot, are located south of
tho Fannj Johnson well will get the
Gordon sand this afternoon or to night.
Theic am many operators who believe that
a big Gordon sand pool will bo found to the
east of the Johnson well. Christj & Co.'s
well on the Richards lot is showing for a
big well in the Gordon sand Brown & Co.
on the Lindsay lot are 15 feet in the sand
with no oil. This well is making IX) barrels
a day from the Gordon sand. Brady
& Ca's well on the Scott lot was
reported as nogood in tho filth sand. T.ie
People's Natural Gas Companv on the John
son lot, 200 feet cast of the Butler lot is prac
tically dry in the fifth sand. It will be tubed
and may make a fair pumper. The same
company's well on the Ed McDonald fami
has a fishing job on top of the fifth sand.
Dne in the Fifth.
Oakdale The Woodlnnd Oil Company's
well on the Gamble lurm will reach tbo
fifth sand to-day
Some New Wells.
McCciiot The tools were gotten out of
Gaidncr, Kennedy & Co.'s well or. the
Mertz farm yesterday. It will bo drilled
into the fifth sand to-day. Pattenon &
Jones Xo. 1 on the Harbison farm was in the
sand last night and showing for a good w ell.
This well is the farthest to the west in the
McCurdv field, and is 1,500 feet west ol tneir
Adams Xo. 1 which w ill make a 70 barrel w ell.
Their No. 1, on the Kelso farm, between
the McCurdv nnd the McMichacl lanrs. has
received its first string of casing They
hai o a rig up Tor Xo. 2 on the Kelso farm.
Tliet hae put the first casing in their Staf
fer X o. 1; their Shaffer Xo. 2 is 'spudding, and
arigisup for Xo.3. Patterson Co. are
ilow n 2.100 feet in their test well on tho John
McMichae! farm. This well is located a
mile and a half north of west from the Mc
Curdv farm, and if it is a well! t n ill surprise
evca the owners.
In nn Old rield.
Moos Gillmor & Co.M well, on tho Samuel
Stevenson farm, is, duo to get tho sand to
day. Aiken Prodens No. 3, on tho Hood
farm, should got tho sind to-morrow. The
Kanawha Oil Company has commenced drill
lag on the James fcpriugcr farm. It is known
ns tho Orchard well. The Fort Pitt Gas
Company has started to drill on tho Dally
farm, near the Sharon church.
In Butler County.
T. W. Phillips is starting a well on tho
widow Snyder farm, located 1,000 feet south
" east of the well drilled near the lampblack
factory on tho Wert Penn Railroad, somo
eight years ago. In tho last named well
they got a littlo show of oil In the fourth
sand. Ho is also drilling a test -well on tho
Knlltlc farm, 250 rods northeast of the drill
ing well on the Snyder farm, and 600 feet
northwest of the gas well oh theXewlet
farm. Southwest of Denney's Mills, three
fonrths of a mile, ho Is drilling a test well
on the Mosler larm. He has not much hope
of developing anything hut a gasser in this
venture. Mr. Phillips controls some 3,000
acres in this locality.

of "Silver Age" Pure Eye Whisky has stood
this test for many years, and it is gaining in
public favor every day. Physicians indorse

BAD ECZEMA ON LIMB
From Knee, to Foot a Mass of Running
Sores. Cared by Ccticura Rem
edies. Total Cost 81.75.
1 have been afflicted with a sore limb. -which the
doctors called eczema. My limb from the knee to
the foot was one mass of running sores. The doc
tors bandaged it every day for a week, and every
time the bandage -vat removed a large scab would
come off, and tho blood pour down. I got one
bottle of CtmcrmAKKSOi.VKNT, one box CrmcunA,
and one cake Cuticuka Soap, and they cured me.
I told a lady who was similarly afflicted to use it,
and it cured ber also. I gratefully acknowledge

"111 blows the wind that profits nobody!"
The failure of W. E. Schmertz & Co., 43 Fifth avenue, bad
as it was for the Eastern creditors, certainly was a good thing
for the Pittsburg and Allegheny public. The loss of the former
was the gain of the latter. That 'we give our customers the
benefit of the ruinously low prices at which the goods were
auctioned off at the Sheriff's Sale last week is fully confirmed by
the figures below. Why, in every instance,
WE SELL TRE SHOES AT RETAIL
FOR LESS MONEY
THAN SCHMERTZ & CO. SOLD THEM WHOLESALE.
Men's shoes sold wholesale by Schmertz & Co. at $1.87
BETAILED BY US NOW FOR $1.25.
Men's Kangaroo 'shoes sold'wholesale by Schmertz
& Co., at $2.50,

Men's fine French calf hand-welt dress shoes, sold whole
sale by Schmertz & Co. at $5,
RETAILED BY US NOW FOR $3.00.
' Ladies''fine Bright Dongola Button Shoes, sold whole
sale by Schmertz & Co. at $2,
RETAILED BY US NOW FOR $1.25.
Child's Spring Heel Shoes, sold wholesale

Schmertz at Co. at 50c,

Finest Misses' Spring Heel Shoes, sold wholesale
by Schmertz-& Co. at $2,
RETAILED BY US NOW FOR $1.00.
The above are but a few of the lines bought by us at the
Sheriffs Sale last week. They will suffice, however, to show
that never in the annals of the trade have shoes been sacrificed
at prices so low. No wise person, therefore, will miss this op
portunity. GOMEAT QNGE, BEFORE THESIZES ARE BROKEN.
