FIFTH AVENUE FIXED
The Board of Assessors Has
Decided Not to Change
the Fisnres.
CAUSE FOE THIS POLICY.
A Xumber of Reductions Announced
in the Other Wards.
THE LAST OF THE APPEALS FILED.
in Estimate of tlie Valuation to lie Tre
sented to Councils
TYHEX THAT E0l)T MEETS TO-UORROW
The Board of Assessors have completed
their revision of all the wards in the city,
except the Third, Fifth, Fourteenth, Nine
teenth, Tn entieth and Twenty-second, and
they expect to get through with all but one
or two of those during the next week. They
are now preparing an estimate of the total
taxable valuations of the city and will pre
sent it to Councils to-morrosr, so that there
need be no farther delay bj the finance
committee in preparing the appropriation
ordinance. A member of the board was
asked yesterday what the total would be,
but he refused to say until the matter had
been reported to Councils.
It was learned yesterday that the Asses
sors will not make anyredaction from their
original assessment on Fifth avenue prop
erty, between Market and Smithficld streets.
It will be remembered, a meeting; was held
and a resolution adopted by a number of
Fifth avenue holders of property requesting
the assessors to cut their valuations on
ground between the streets named about 20
per cent The resolution was published in
the newspapers and when the appeals came
in nearly every one, whether the appellant
had attended the meeting or not, called at
tention to the resolution and asked for the
20 yier cent reduction, but with a few ex
ceptions none of the appellants swore their
property was valued at less than the asses
sors' figures.
The Figures Will Stand.
At that time the assessors remarked that
they had been careful in their estimates in
the light of recent sales, and saw no reason
why they should pay any attention to the
resolution, particularly as they had not
been officially notified of the meeting and
were not favored with a copy of the resolu
tion. From what could be learned yester
day they have not receded from that posi
tion on the question and the original figures
will stand.
The reductions made by the assessors in
the revision of the Twelfth waid assess
ments are very general.. As there were
comparatively few appeals from that ward
this was rather unexpected. The reduction
on Penn avenue, all through the ward is 10
per cent off the orijinal assessment. On
Liberty, Smallman and Railroad streets and
on all cross streets and alleys between Lib
erty street ana the river, 13 per cent off No
change is made between Liberty and Arch
streets.
In the Twenty-third ward a large number
of reductions were made also.

The Ltst Big Hatch of Appeal.
Nearly COO appeals from the assessments
in the Fourteenth ward came in yesterdav
being the last day for filing. This ward has
brobably produced more appeals than any
other in the city and nearly half the appel
lants have either suggested, asked for, or
demanded rural or agricultural classifica
tion. It is not likely from the present
attitude of the Board that any but full
value classification will be allowed in that
ward, though the matter will not be
difiuitely settled lor several days.
The agent for the Ursuline Young La
dies' academy, relative to which the As
sessors addressed a communication to the
City Attorney asking for the law on the
subject of exemption from taxes, submitted
an appeal witha copy of portions of thechar-
ter ot the institution. The Assessors' valu-
. -- 1 -...... ,
0 ,.,... lura v M.c I
building 5125,000. The scent's valuation is
5101,487 on the ground and $40,000 on the
buildings; Tho land is divided up into 85
building lots, except five acres surrounding
the building, which are valued at 5100,000,
the agent's figures being only 533,000 for the
tract The same difference in estimates of
value run all through. .
Tlie Case of tho A ciilcmy.
The act incorporating the academy was
passed March 21, 1872, and gave the incor
porators perpetual succession, the -right to
sue and be sued, implead and be impleaded,
and to acquire, take and hold property, real,
personal or mixed, by purchase, gift, devise
or bequest, with fullpower to alien or con
vey at pleasure, and all other rights belong
ing to similar corporations provided the
net annual income lrom the property shall
not exceed 55,000. Section 2 of the'eharter
states that the object and purpose of the
corporation shall be the promotion of Chris
tian ana liberal education and the cultiva
tion of the various branches of science, art
and literature. Section 8 locates the insti
tution in Pittsburg and exempts the build
ing and not exceeding five acres of land
fiom taxation.
The agent protests against an assessment
on the portion exempted by the State from
taxation, and claims further that the As
sessors' valuation is excessive. He says:
"A well-informed dealer stated that the
property would not realize over 575,000 at
a public sale. Part of the ground is at an
angle of 45 degrees and a large part is taken
by a winding road, which, owing to the
elevation of buildings, is necessary." He
claims further that the lots are estimated at
an excessive figure, as some of themare
simply steep cliffs, while others are in a
ravine and would cost 515,000 to put them
in condition for sale. ,
The attention of a member of the Board
of Assessors was called to the above appeal,
and after reading it be said he could see no
reason why the institution should not be
exempted as the act provided, bnt he
thought it strange the matter had not been
presented before. Xo objection had ever
been made to assessing the property until
this year.
A Big Difference In Figures.
The 10-acre tract occupied by Moor
head, McCleane & Ca's mill on Second
avenue is assessed at 5307,875, and the im
provements and machinery at 5503,000.
Their 2J-acre tract on Burlington street is
figured at 582,500. The firm's valuation is
5205,250 on the 10 acres, 555,000 on the 1
acres and 5500,000 on the mill and ma
chinery. They are also assessed 520,690 on
dwellings stable, coke ovens, etc., but ask
for a reduction of 51,390 on buildings torn
down.
R. S. "Warring's assessment foots np
5161,494, but he makes no appeal. He is
assessed 578,594 on 3 acres and 23 perches at
Forbes and Halket streets, 512,000 on brick
mansion thereon; 58,100 each on two lots of
C0xl2T feet each, on Fifth avenue, near
Halket street, and 58,000 on residence and
other buildings on each; 58,100 ou lot 50x
127U feet on Forbes, near Halket street,
and 58,000 on buildings thereon; 54,100 on
29.8 perches of land on Halket street
John R. & A, Murdoch's five-eighths
acre at Forbes and Boquet streets is assess'ed
at 533,000, but ther value it at 521,400, and
as it has always been used for horticultural
purposes, they demand agricultural classifi
cation. IlillBurgwin has 20 lots on Boundary
street. Sylvan avenue and Juno street,
which are assessed at from 5300 to ?1,S00
each, but he declares he has never been able
to set an oner of more than 5800 for the
best of them, while some arc so steep and
rough that a goat could scarcely get n foot
hold on them. His valuations on the lots
run from 5150 to 5800 each. He is assessed
at 512,000 on two acres on Juno street, but
raises the figures to 514,000; on four acres
and 110 perches assessed at ?2S,140 he asks a
cut to 518,800.

McClnrc
A correspondent who has been unfavora
bly impressed by the Law and Order raids,
suggests a new field for official activity in
the protection of public morality as follows:
"I find in my scrap book a newspaper
clipping, where, under the heading of 'Old
Pennsylvania Laws,' appears the followin'g:
'If any white lemale of 10 years or upward
shall appear in any public street, lane,
highway, church, court house, tavern, ball
room, theater, or any other place of public
resort, with naked shoulders, (i. e., low
necked dresses), being able to purchase
necessary clothing, she shall forfeit and pay
a fine of not less than one nor more than
two hundred dollars.'
"If this be really Pennsylvania law; still
in force, it seems to me that police officials
are often derelict in their duty as conserva
tors of the public morals in not sending for I
oinccrs ana patrol wagons wiieu lasnionaoie
ladies appear at balls or even at the thea
ters." A number of Allegheny county lawyers
who were shown the above communication
yesterday were rather inclined to the belief
that if such a law ever existed it has been
wiped off the statute books for a century or
more. The law library could supply no in
formation on the subject The law books
there were examined away back into 1600,
but while there are laws upon laws bearing
on all manner of alleged offenses, there ap
pears no law covering the grave crime of
exposing well-formed shoulders.
"That law, if it really exists, should be
dragged from its musty hiding place and
entorced to its strictest letter." C. P.
McKenna said yesterday, "It must be
shocking for our reform organizations to see
a women appear in fnll and fashionable
dress. The very thought should untie
everv Law and Order reformer in the State,
and if no law for action now exists, a special
session of our legislature should he called at
ouce, to provide the ways and means to
wipe out of society the shocking custom of
appearing in fashionable attire."

NINE DIYOKCE StflTS
Brought for Many and Various
Causes Filed Yesterday, and a
FEW DESERTION CASES HEABD.
Judge White's Clear Kuling in the Collins
libel Action.
BUSIKE3S OP THE C0UKTI COURTS
It seemed as though the desertion court
end of the temple of Janus was closed yes
terday, Coqnty Detective Beltzhoovcr not
having made out a list of matrimonial
jangles, but the door was sufficiently ajar to
let in two or three cases.
Margaret Jack, of McKeesport,
wanted her husband, James Jack,
made contribute to the domestic
expense account. James came out
strong. He averred that Margaret, though
a rather delicate looking woman, looked
upon the wine when it gave its color in the
cup, and looked upon it to such an extent
that her seven children suffered to an extent
that induced the "human" 3gent to inter
fere. They are people of some considerable
substance, owning several houses, and "Mr.
Jack's income from his work at the
National Boiling Mill amounts to
1,401 a year independent of his rent roll.
.- 3Ir.
Jack stated that five of the children
were at the Home of the Friendless in Alle
gheny, and that he paid 25 a month for
their support. One had preferred to live
with her grandparents and was provided
for there, and the seventh had lften assigned
under the management of the "Human"
society.
The Other Side or the Case.
The "human" agent supported Mr. Jack's
story and then Mrs. Jack told hers. She at
first denied that she was excessively ad-
'dicted to the cup, but finally turned the
tables on the "Adamitic" excuse for the
lords of creation, stating that if she did
drink to excess her husband caused her fall
by bringing liquor into the house and lead
ing her into temptation. She said she had
"worked just as hard as her husband to make
their property. She admitted that her
husband allowed her one of the houses and
that she lived in it and rented a part thereof.
Judge Kennedy thought as the wife had
support for herself and was not obliged to
care for her children that she had better go
to work and retrieve her reputation as to
the charges preferred against her. He put
the costs on the husband, but told Mrs. Jack
that as it bad been necessary to bring her in
oti a process, she must find the way to pay
the costs thereof herself or take the conse
quence. John Lane said that Philip Denmeyer
had threatened to kill him on January 17,
aud had fired a revolver. Philip denied it,
but a witness for the prosecution said he
had heard Philip threaten to do the prose
cutor up, and as to shooting, he was all the
time at it. Judge Porter sentenced Philip
to pay the costs and give security in ?300 to
keep the peace inuture.

An unusnal action was commenced Ves
terday in the Quarter Sessions Court" A
petition was filed by Jennie "H. Hannen to
obtain ?1,000, the proceeds of 'a forfeited

18SG, she owned a piece of property on Fed
eral street, Allegheny. She desired to sell
it, and L. A. Bradley represented to ther
that he had a purchaser in the persons of
some people in New York. They wanted,
he said, to exchange some timber land in
Tennessee lor the house and lot in question.
She agreed and Bradley induced her to sign
a deed for the property, stating that it was
necessary in order to carry out the agree
ment She afterward learned that the deed
was one giving to Bradley the property.

the premises for 51,500. She sued him for
false pretenses, and he was held for court

bond be paid to her.

rights over certain streets of the borough.
Later the representative of the railway com

company began tearing up the streets. An
injunction is asked, restraining them from

Judge White Reduces a Verdict
Judge "White handed down an opinion
yesterday by which he reduced the verdici
from 512000 to 50,000 in the case of Eugene
Maxwell vs the Pleasant Valley PassengeV
Bailway Company. In the opinion the
Court says extravagant testimony must not
be encouraged by the courts approving
large verdicts. In this case the defendant
said he had saved the lives of 40 passengers
bj stopping the car. Judge "White thinks
this statement excited the sympathy of the
jur-v. He says that if Maxwell had minded
his own business he would probably not
have been injured at all.

PULPUS T0 BE TRIED
For the Mysterious Killing of Miss
Sarah Joyce a Week Ago.
LIGHT EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.
Doctors Say Death Besnlted Entirely From
Jsphyxia.
THE WOUNDS COUIiD 2C0T HAYE KILLED
John Pnlpus will have to answer for the
murder of Sarah Joyce. Coroner McDowell
held his last hearing in the case yesterday,
at the conclusion of which the jury decided
against the colored man and he was com
mitted to jail to await trial in court.
The Coroner and policet have been hard at
work endeavoring to get at tht facts in the
case ever since the body of the young woman
was found a week ago. As a first result of
the research it has .been pretty clearly
proven that death resulted from the
woman being smothered. Her wounds
were not serious enough to kill
her. As to the connection of Pulpns with
the affair, the evidence is entirely circum
stantial, and not very strong at that The
Coroner, however, considered it good
enough to hold the man on. The impression
has gained considerable ground that the au
thorities have not brought out all the facts
in their possession, but are holding some
thing back for further investigation.
She Picked Ont the Mao.
The first witness called yesterday was
Mrs. Bridget Hollornian, of Bates street
On the night of the murder she met a man
coming tip Sylvan avenue. He was saunter
ing slowly along, and spoke to her as he
passed. He was of medium size, and wore
a soft hat "When asked by the
Coroner whether she could point out
the man if he were in the room
she replied yes, and pointed to five colored
men sitting "in a row listening to the tes
timony, saying: "It is one ot them." Tfle
Coroner ordered the men to stand and put
on their hats, and Mrs. Hollorman at once
picked "out Pulpus. .The latter simply
smiled.
Officer Mike Hanley testified that he ar
rested Pulpus. He asked the prisoner to 4
come down Sylvan avenue to show him a
man and he refused. The officer then took
him by force, at which he made an unsuc
cessful attempt to throw away some pieces
of -inch wire. Pulpus told the officer he
had secured the wire from a blacksmith
named Nowlar.
The next witness called was Jennie
Rutherford, aged 14, who lives on Sylvan
avenue, about 100 yards below the place
where Sarah Joyce's body was found. She
left her father's store to go home about 6:30.
She saw a man going down toward the run
who spoke to Joseph Haycock, who was
taking her home. The mln said:
"Hello, Joe; you have' a lot of mud on
you.
Saw Sarah Joyce Pass.
As the witness arrived at- her home a
young woman wearing a bonnet passed up
the road. It was the same girl as she after
ward saw dead. The man who spoke to Mr.
Haycock turned and went up the hill She
thought the man was white.
Joseph Haycock testified 'that two par
ties passed them. He may have replied to
the person, but he was a little under the
influence of liquor and was feeling pretty
good. He made a strong plea of ignoiance.
Stephen Butherford testified to Haycock
being in his store. The latter seemed to
him to have been quite capable of knowing
what he was doing.
"It is myifirm opinion," he said, "if Hay
cock wanted to know he could tell what he
did and whom he spoke to on that night"
Phillip Kewlan, a blacksmith, identified
the wire found inJPulpus' possession as be
longingto him. He had seen a man around
his shop on Friday, who had asked him for
a piece of wire. He was colored and wore a
soft felt hat
Michael McGinley, .brother-in-law of the
deceased, testified that Sarah could not
read or write and had no lover in any other
country. She was never flighty, so far as
he knew. - -
The reporTof Drs. MoyerandMcCandless
on the autopsy was as follows:
Death Resulted From "Asphyxia.
It shows two injuries or external marks.
One a scalp wound on the left side of the
head; the other injury is' tow aid tho right
ancle of tbe right orbit, about the size of a
lead pencil, and penetrating to the malar
bone. Internal examination showed the
bone is slightly fractured. The brain is
found to be normal in appearance with tho
exception that the venus penuses at the base
of the brain are quite full of venous, blood.
Examination of the thorax reveals no evi
dence of any injnry or diseass of this cavity.
The heart is healthy and its cavities are
emntv: its valves are normal and there is no
evidence of any disease of any of the blood
vessels connecting with the heart. Tho
lungs showed no pleural adhesions. They
are quite dark in color and contain an
abundance of venous blood. Tne abdominal
walls contain considerable fat and there is
no evidence or anvlnjury or disease of any
of tbe abdominal organs. The liver and
kidneys are a little dark in color but othei
wise normal. j
Conclusion In concluding tbe evidence
revealed by the post mortem examination of
this bodv. notinz the abnormal appearance
of thelungs, liver and kidneys, and of the
fullness of the venous blood vessels of thesq
organs, and the blood being rather moie
daikandfiuld than ls'thecase ordinarily,
and the absence of any other assignable
cause of death, tho evidcnco'Is indicative of
the fact thar death may have resulted from
apucca or asphyxia.
On the stand Dr. Moyer said: "If the
girl had been an epileptio it was quite
likely there would have be"en some" evi
dences in" the membrane of the brain. Her
tongue was tied as though evidencing a
struggle to breathe or strangulation. The
death was unnatural."
The Wounds Were Not Serlons.
Dr. McCandless said: "The wounds were
not sufficient to cause death. In death
from asphyxia it is possible to find the con
ditions 4 the organs. If the body had
fallen lrom the road where it was found we
would etp'ect to find some evidences of a
fall, and we found none. The cheek wound
xmilrl have been made by the wire while
the young woman was standing or movine."
james j.normon, coioreu, who lives nun
Anthony Johns below where the body was
found, said: "I had supper" the night before
the finding ot the body at i ,0'clocic While
eating, Pulpus, who boards there, came in.
He,had been drinking a little bit. He came
in the front door facing the run. Johns
came next. Pulpus wore a slouch hat, and
was sitting on the bed fhen Johns came in.
I never saw the wires anywhere. Cannot
recall what was said."
James "W. Bobertson, colored, saw Pulpus"
Friday afternoon at Philip Kowlan's black
smith" shoji. Pnlpus asked Nowlan for a
piece of wire to make a ring. Nowlan gave
him a piece about two feet long. Witness
helped Pulpus cut the wire into about nine
pieces.
Antnony Johns told his story as fol
lows: Friday afternoon about 5:30 he
went to MacAvoy's saloon and re
mained until -8:40, and then went up
Greenfield avenue to the .bend, where there
was a path leading home. He passed a man
and girl, but took no-notice of them. "When
he reached home Pulpus( was there and
Thornton. Pulpus was listening to the
other boarder playing on the guitar. Pulpus
looked as though he had a drink or two.
He had known Pulpus for two years.
Palpal Has Nothing to Say.
Pulpus was then given an opportunity to
make a statement, but declined, saying the
other witnesses bad told nil' he could .tell.
Tlie jury then retired, and after a'short
time returned the following verdict:
Sarah Joyce, aged about 21 years, was
found dead in a rayina near Sylvan avenue
and Boquet street. Fourteenth ward, Pitts
burg, onFriday, February 1?, liOl, about 10-.30
o'clock "X M. From the evidence the Jury'
find that she had left her- sister's bonso
about C:Z0 r. u.t Thursday, February 18, lS9i,
and started np said Sylvan ivenue, and was
assaulted and died from asphyxia dnring the
struggle from said assault ami further from
tho evidence in, thejnry believes that one
John Pnlpus committed said assault and in
our opinion is responsible for the death of
Sarah Joyce.
Tht Coroner then ordered the commitment
of Palpus to jail, charged with murder, to
await the action of court
