MILLAGE CUT DOWN. Tax Levy for the County Fixed at a Mill and Three-Quarters. POOR TAXIS ONLY ONE-HALF MILL. The Total Taluation Jlay Tet Be Increased to .N'early $450,000,000. GE.VEKAL GOSSIP FK01I THE CODETS The County Commissioners have made llieir tax levy for the year 1892. The mill age is 1 mills for county purposes, ivitb. an additional l mill in horoufihs and townships for poor purposes. The Com missioners have had hard work arriving at an estimate of the total valuation of the county, but have taken as a basis 430, 000,000. This will be under the actnal valuation, but they desired to be on the safe aide. The books already in show a valua tion oi ?3G7,000,000, and it -was estimated that the other districts to be computed would run the valuations to 5411,000,000 on property valuations. To this there will be added at least 33,000,000 on occupation valuations. This would give a total of $446,000,000, but 430,000,000 was taken as a safe basis. The Controller's estimate of the amount to be raised by taxation for current ex penses for the year 5445,703 97. To meet this a levy was made of 1 2-10 mills, which would jjive about 5516,000. A loss, how ever, of about 12 percent is estimated for the5 per cent discount and about 7 per cent lost taxes. This would reduce the ret inae to about 5464,000. TTIpinc Out the Court Hon'o Deot. In addition to the current expenses the Commissioners desire to raise 5235,000 to complete the fund for the payment of the bonds issued for the new Court House in debtedness. The bonds are not payable until 1906, but the Commissioners propose to invest the money and thus have the debt provided for when it matures. To raise this $235,000 a levy of 55-100 of a mill was added. This would produce about 5237,000 more on the valuation estimated and make the total millage mills. The tax for poor purposes levied in Jfc Keesport and the townships and boroughs was nxed at one-half a mill, making the millace outside of Pittsburg and Allegheny 2' mills. The Estimated al nation outside ot the two cities is $120,000,000. Xext rear, Commissioner Mercer stated, the Commissioners expect to have the county millage less than 1 mill. There will be no money to raise for bonds, leaving 5235,000 less to raise and 570,000 less on ac count of the new lisht and power plant to be built this year. This will give 5305,000 1 ess to raise. Lower Taxes for Next Tear, The county will also receive about 5150, 000 more lrom the State than heretofore, owing to the new law which gives back to the county threc-lourth of the State tax; it pays. At the old valuations on a 4-mill State tax the State tax would amount to 5200,000, of which the county wjll get 5150. 000. The countv's share will, it is figured, go to at least 5200,000. This will make a difference to the payers of county taxes of 5455,000 less to raise. Tn addition to the revenues this year the county gets 53,000 from the State tax, un der the old law, which was not estimated in the receipts, and will go into the county treasurv to swell the surplus at the end of 1WI2. The County Commissioners yesterday heard appeals from assessments "in Glen Geld and Mansfield boroughs and West Peer and l"indlcy townships. There were the ordinary number of appeals, none ot which were of special importance. In Glen field borough the assessors' books showed an increase of 44 per cent and the Commission ers added 20 per cent. Mansfield borough had been increased 22 9-10 per cent and the commissioners added 20 per cent The books lor Findley township showed an in crease of 11 4-5 per cent, and they were o. k'd. "West Deer township had a" slight increase, and 10 per cent was added. MILLVALE GETS A THEN NOW. Tho Philadelphia Company Enters Suit Against the Borough for the Gas. The Philadelphia Company, through its attorneys, entered suit yesterday against the Burgess and Town Council, of the Borough of Millvale, to recover a gas bill of 5245 64, for the month of December last The plaintiff alleges that in 1888 an ordi nance was passed by the Council, granting the plaintiff company the right to erect telegraph and telephone poles and wires through the town, in consideration of which they were to furnish free gas. In November, 1891, the com pany having no further use for the poles and wires tore them down, first having terved notice that such would be done, and that the borough would in the future have to pay for the gas used. The Millvale authorities thereupon noti fied the company that they would resist any attempt to disconnect the gas from the street lamps, and continued using the gas in three street lamps during the month of December; hence the suit. Stahl to Be Tried Tor Conspiracy. Owing to the fact that it is near the close of the December term, Criminal Court closed down at noon yesterday, owing to a lack of cases. The calendar of the present term is nearly cleared up. On Thursdav, W. G. Stahl will be placed on trial for con spiracy. This case grows out of the old grain and railroad brokerage business and the defendant is alleged to have received a aum of money from K. H. McCreery, which he failed to properly invest and defrauded him out of the money. Damage for Injured Bepntatlon. William Shelby, through his attorney W. A. Hudson, filed a suit yesterday against Police Lieutenant George H. Wag goner and Officer Charles W. Allen, for damages. The plaintiff alleges that on the 24th of last December, the defendants with out a warrant as authority of law, entered his house on High street in search of al leged stolen property, which was not there. Mr. Shelby claims that his reputation in the neighborhood has been damaged to the extent of Su,000. Hart Held for Counterfeiting. Henry E. Hart was given a hearing be fore United States Commissioner McCand less yesterday on a charge ot passing coun terfeit money. He is acensed of passing counterfeit silver coin.

Philadelphia People Throwing TJp Their Hat for President McLeoJ. Drummers from the Quaker City report that the people there are going crazy over the Beading combination. The stock of the company has been a drug on the market for years, and it was held principally by es tates, widows, orphans and poor people who couldn't realize a cent on it. Now the stock is jumping up at a rapid rate, and every body is happy. The Pennsylvania people are very weary, and nobody in Philadelphia takes any stock in their cry that the deal is unconstitutional. A Quaker City man expressed the feeling among the people yesterday when he said: "The Pennsylvania road has done all in its power to throttle competition in Philadel phia. They drove the Heading into bank ruptcy, and built a line up through the Schuylkill "Valley to Pottsville at an enor mous expense of 16,000,000 for no other purpose than to kill off the Beading. This new road is not paying, and there is not enough traffic for the two lines. Everybody thought that the competing line to Potts ville was the last nail in the Beading's cof fin, but the people underestimated the abil ity of President McLeod. He is not as brilliant a man as Frank Gowan was, but he has a square jaw, which denotes bulldog pertinacity. He is a good everyday busi ness man, and is responsible for the combi nation. Xobody ever dreamed that the Le high Valley could be leased, and this is what threw the Pennsylvania people off the track." A GEAND SECBETABY MUST BESIGK. Sew Development lu the Embezzlement of Catholic KnlghU' Funds. Cincinnati, Feb. 15. A committee of the various branches of the Catholic Knights ot America, appointed to examine the books of Grand Treasurer O'Brien, who was re cently indicted for embezzlement, has made a report through Chairman Dolle, of Branch Xo. 60, Covington, recommending that Grand Secretary George W. Barr send in his resignation, for the reason that they are satisfied that he withheld the knowledge that O'Brien was in default, and, therefore, was subject to censure. Mr. Barr is of .Leba non, Ky.

There is still con siderable excitement here over the poison ing of the Morton family. One of toe girls, it was said yesterday, would likely die. The others are slowly recovering. The coroner held an inquest. No facts as to who caused the poisoning were elicited. The jury rendered a verdict that the death was caused by poison placed in the flour by an unknown party. lie Once Drove La Fayette. Er-Contractor Dennis Doran.of the South side, who has lately had a wrestle with the grip, was able to attend to business in the Court House yesterday. Pew men have the philosophy to enjoy living as Mr. Doran has. He does not pine for the olden days, but enjoys the present almost as much as he did when he drove La Payette in the grand parade of 1824. Mr. Doran had a contract to supply a number of carriages on that oc casion. ' Mr. Doran is one of those who do not pro pose to get behind the procession. In early life he went to California. He continued in business until he had secured a competence, and though he no longer contracts he is still engaged sufficiently to give him a zest and relish for social intercourse. He says the grip gave him the hardest tussel he ever en countered, but as usual he came out on top. lie Bobs TJp Serenely From bed whoso liver is all right.

Wyman Asks to Have His Case Tried Again. CLAIMS THERE WERE ERRORS. Elphinstone Thinks a Serf Trial Will Kot Be Granted. THE AUDITORS ARE ALMOST TflROUGir Mayor "Wyman, of Allegheny, yesterday applied for a new trial. The argument will hardly come up until the last week of the present term, which ends March 5. In case a new trial is refused sentence will be passed immediately. Until the argument Mayor Wyman will be allowed to hold offlce, and will not, it is stated, resign. The reasons set forth in the motion for a new trial are: First There was not sufficient evidence of extortion bv the defendant. Second Tho lack or evidence was repre sented In the cliargo and instruction to the Jury. Third Tho Court erred in the admission of evidence. Fourth The Court erred In the charae to the jury on tho duties and responsibilities of the defendant. Fifth The Court erred in not charging that If the fee charged by the clerk waa unlawful illegal there could be no conviction. Sixth The Court erred In the general lean ing and tending of the charge in favor of conviction. Seventh The Court erred as to points mado by the defendant's counsel. Eighth The Court erred In Instructing tho Jury as to tho value of good character. Ninth The defendant, Mayor Wyman, had not a fair trial by a jury empaneled to try his case. . Tenth This point represents that a new trial should be granted on account of a claim having been allowed bv the Court that the counsel for tho defense had made points of alleged facts not m the evidence. "Will Appeal to Supreme Court. City Solicitor Elphinstone thinks there is no probability that a new trial will be granted. He thinks the first was fair and that the entire bench will sustain Judge Kennedy. If it is not granted, it is the in tention of "Mayor Wyman's attorneys to appeal to the Supreme Court. In case this is done and the Mayor should be given a workhouse sentence by Judge Kennedy, he would be retained in jail, until the Su preme Court would fix the time for a hear ing. The Supreme Conrt is now in session in Philadelphia and It -could require three or four days to get an order releasing Mr. Wyman " from jaiL The gloomy prospect is the only subject dis cussed by Mayor Wyman's friends, but no remedy can be found. The statement that negotiations have been made whereby the prosecution is to ask for leniency in the Mayor's case is vigorously denied by Mr. Elphinstone. Do Not Want Any Compromise. "So far as I know," he said, "no pro posals have bn made by either the attorneys for. the defense or prosecution. All talk on that subject is by outsiders, who do not speak with authority. There will be no more cases taken up by us until Mayor Wyman's is disposed of." Dr. Gilliford is quoted as being in favor of going on with the cases against ex-Mayor Pearson. Mr. Elphinstone and all the other prosecutors oppose such a course, and the former asserts that Dr. Gilliford is prompted by personal spite. It is well known that Gilliford and Pearson are not good friends, and it is said the former will proceed against the ex-Mayor with his own attorney in case Mr. Elphinstone insists on delay. Mr. Henricks said yesterday that the auditors are almost through with their work. They will soon make a final report on the affairs of the water bureau and other departments. Mr. Henricks thinks the Mayor will not be given a new trial. All alone, both 'in the way it nets, and in the way it's sold, is Doctor Pierce's Favorite ft Prescription, .for ft.'- sromen.
