"2 125,000 pi i Besult of Exempting Jiicli Cor porations Prom the Pay ment of City Taxes. ONE MOBE FBEE LISTED. In Ignorance of Escape Some Have Been Paying Up Willingly. tKACTM TEOPLE KOT KICKING. How the Board of Assessors Defend Their Course of Action. SHOULD EXEMPT ONLY CITI PROPERTY Under the law expounded by the attor neys on the exemption of public corpora tions from local taxation the city will lose over 5125,000. This only applies to the taxes of 1S92 and previous years. What it will amount to in futura years can only be conjectured. In fact, the city can congratu late iierseli that the question was not raised Tears aj;o. Most of the big corporations have been keeping their taxes paid up, evidently ignorant that the courts had freed them from the annoyance of paying for the privileges they enjoyed. The Board of Assessors, for various reasons, have de clined to make public the list of corpora tion properties which are exempted, but they ha e such a list prepared and it shows & total of something over $125,000. Only one corporation demanded exonera tion yesterdav, but no doubt is entertained but that those who imagine they are entitled to it will all come forward and make a de- tuaud. A Blc Saving in Taxes. The Monongahela "Water Company came to the Iront yesterday and secured what it wanted without opposition. The Board of Assors promptly allowed the exemption alter Controller .Morrow had signed his ap proval to it. and the Delinquent Tax Col lector checked the charge off his books. This company had paid its taxes each year lintil 1S9L Its assessment this year on its property in the Twenty-fourth ward alone, IncludiLg the water works, basin, improve ments and machinery amounted to $1, 615 DO. The company owns property in the Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth and Thirty first vards aggregating about $12,000 in value, on which the tax would amount to S15Q. The Allegheny County Light Company has not paid any city taxes on its Third ward plant. The assessment for 1892 alone amounted to $1,770 44. Its new plant in the Isintli ward is assessed to the pre vious owner at a valuation or 592,000, on which the city should receive 51,186 in taxes. Waiting for nn Exemption. The Pittsburg Gas Company has already paid a part of its tuxes ior 1S92, and no charges appear against it for previous years. Its plant in the Sixth ward is assessed at 5120,400, yielding 51.C25 40 in taxes. Its effice building in the Third ward, assessed at 571,000, yielded 862 14. In the Four teenth ward, where the plant of its East End branch is located, it has paid $393 on one piece of property valued at 530,200, but on the balance, valued at 5639,000, which should yield 58,434 80 in taxes, it has held off, evidently waitins for the exemption. The traction companies have all paid up on their power plants and car sheds. The car barn used by the Duquesne Company at Bellefield is assessed to Senator Flinn, but the power plant located in the Sixteenth ward, on ground which is not considered valuable, is assessed to and paid by the company. The assessors have not yet recovered from the sharp criticism of their case contained in the communication from the City Attor cey. They defend their action by saying it was not their duty to assist the corporations in evading the taxes they should pay. Position of Chlet Assessor Case. VI em opposed to the exemption of any but city government property from taxa tion," said Chief Assessor Case yesterday. "Wc have been aware of the Su preme Court decisions . bearing on the case, but as long as the rich corporations were willing to pay or could be induced to pav their share for the advantages and protection they receive lroni the people of this city, we felt it our duty to get all we could. It relieved the other taxpayers for whom there was no escspe, aad was nothing more than right. All these big corporations have lawyers, renerallv Eciart fellows, whose business it is to look after the corporation interests, and if they did not know it was possible to avoid the payment ot this money to the city, wc would be poor servants of the people to call their atten tion to it. By watching this matter and standing some of the corporations off from time to time we have prevented the loss of a considerable 6um to the city in past yean, a sum compared to which the amount to be paid on the liens illegally filed is only a trifle. Opposed to Granting Exemptions. "As to the exemption of the properties named in Mr. Trailer's opinion, 1 was op posed to them and uould not have granted them. But after Controller Morrow ap proved them no other course was leit open. This board lias been wrestling with that matter ever since the early part of June, and had it received less publicity at this time, I feel satished a number of corpora tions affected would not have found out their opportunity to escape, but would lave paid their taxes as usual. "I don't consider these corporation ex erations exactly as legal exemptions. ;y rather strike me as an escape lrom a tax, which rich corporations are really er able to pay, and in all fairness should properly pay than the average citi- Controller Morrow said yesterday that he woYld approve all exonerations that were covered ii. the City Attorney's opinion, not because he thought it right "or just, but be cause be has no choice in the matter. "However," he continued, "the fact that exonerations are approved by me or by the assessors, will not have any effect if we sub sequently find that they are illegal. If we find later on that that these corporations are not legally exempted lrom taxation we can notify them, and, on their rfusal to tar, can file liens against their properties. Our signatures do not make the exemption legal if the law docs not "We are acting now as we understand the law, but can easily reverse ourselves if we find the law reverse."

Elte Purchased for S20,UOO Work to lie Commenced as Soon at Fosslbte Ladles Show Their Ability to Hostle for Funds. A lot on Twentieth and Mary streets has been purchased as a site ior the proposed new Southside Hospital. The Ladies' Aid Society met yesterday afternoon and ratified the purchase. The Board of Directors held a special meeting at 'the hospital last even ing, indorsed the action of the purchasing committee and made arrangements to pay part of the price at once and give a mort gage for the rest. The lot is the site of the old Jones & Cavitt glass works, and was purchased direct from "William Schuette. It has a frontage of 120 feet on Twentieth, and ex tends back on Mary 124 feet to Harcnm's alley. It is ample for all the requirements of the proposed building. The price paid was 520,000, but these terms were only agreed to on condition that the owner donate jl, 000 toward the hospital fund, which was done. The old buildings on the ground have been removed, and everything is ready to begin the erection of the new building. When that work will be begun has not been decided yet. The plans are now under discussion, and will be acted upon at the next regular meeting. It is the intention of the directors to begin work on the new building as soon as possible. A building to accommodate about 100 patients will be put up on the back part ot the lot and the front left for a more pretentious building in the future. At the meeting ot the Ladies' Aid Society yesterday afternoon the treasurer reported 512,000 in the treasury. This sum is to be put into the ground at once. Preparations are now going onfor a fairwhich is expected to net the management between $3,000 and 54,000. The directors expressed themselves as highly pleased with the purchase, when spoken to last evening. They said new life had been infused in the project, and the work of raising the necessary funds could be carried on much more" successfully. Dr. Arnholt also stated that he considered the price very reasonable, and continning said: "The lot is lares enough to not only allow a building for 100 patients to be built, but if necessary four lots can be sold off, and enough ground left fo- the hospital. This, of course, would not be considered except in case of not being able to raise funds to meet the mortgage. I want to say also that all the credit for the success so far is due to the ladies, who have worked so hard for the new hospital I would not be surprised to hear of $6,000 or 58,000 moro raised before the end of the year lor this fund." THEY WEBE MUCH ALABHED. Besldents of the Twenty-First Ward .Anxious Over n False Rumor. Residents of the Twenty-firt ward were much alarmed last evening. Their anxiety was the outcome of a report that a case of "black" smallpox, had been taken from that district in the early part of the week. This report, in nassing from one to another, was considerably exaggerated, until it had be come current that there were several cases of a similar character in that neighbor hood. An investigation last night revealed that on Tuesday last it was reported to the Bureau of Health that there was a man suffering from a light case ot smallpox in the Twenty-fisst ward. The officers went to the house of the sufferer and found him to be an ironworker employed at the Brad dock mills suffering from a mild attack of varioloid. For fear ot contagion the health officers removed the man to the municipal hospital, where he is now resting easily and in & fair way to speedy recovery. HEW ELECTEIC 1INE.

The mass meeting held in the Beaver Falls Opera House last night by strikers from the Carnegie mills was a success. The building was filled, and the addresses of the Pittsburg and Homestead speakers were well received. They confined themselves to a discussion of the present labor troubles between the Carnegie Company and their employes. John Sheehan presided at the meeting, and the speakers were David Carney, Hugh Boss, Jerrv Dougherty and William Hatfield. Isaac Brown, of the Art Tile Company, who made such sensatiopal remarks at a former meeting, was then introduced at the close of the meeting. He spoke briefly, but nevertheless many people left the half. He gave the People's party a boost, condemned the Beaver Falls officials, and said that every good citizen should kill a Pmkerton whenever he saw one. ELEVEH MKH ABBEBIED. The Trains Between Coraopolls and file Keesport to Bo Kept Free of Tramps.

NO FEAR -OF CHOLERA. Chief Brown Does Not Expect It, but' if It Should Come He Will BE PKEPAEED TO RECEIVE IT. A Pittsburg Broker Gives a Constantinople; Cure Used in GENERAL CLEANING UP PK0JECTED The possibility that the terrible scourge, Asiatic cholera, may appear in tne unneo. States before the frosts of winter come is stirrine the health authorities of all the. large cities to extra exertions, to secure cleanliness. Chief Brown has directed the inspectors of the bureau of health to ex amine carefully the quarters of the poor and the localities where the foreign colonies are and to compel the destruction or removal of all filth and decaying organic matter. Some parts of the city are not in very good con dition, as far as cleanliness goes, and the health officers have their hands lull. Among the Italians, Kussian Hebrews and Slavon ians there is a great deal of filth and squalor. All expert authorities agree that the spread ot cholera is aggravated by filth. "Where houses, yards and streets are kept clean the disease finds slight foothold. It generally rages in the quarters of the poor, where cellars are unclean and where there is more or less decaying matter in the alleys. Even in Hamburg, where the scourge is virulent, it is confined almost en tirely to the old city, the new portion hav ing developed few cases. Chief Brown Is Not Afraid. Chief Brown said yesterday that he did not expect any cholera in this country, but he thought it well to be prepared for it Immigrant Inspector Layton is carefully watching all the arrivals of foreigners. Im migrants are coming in daily, and if the cholera should be brought to this city it will come in by way of the immigrant car. There is not mueh danger from this source, however, as all arrivals are carefully examined at quarantine in New York and in other seaports. The cholera develops quickly alter exposure to it, and does not lie latent for an v length of time. If an im migrant should be affected, the disease will lay hold of him before he reaches the Amer ican shore. Jacob Glosser, the broker,- has been through four epidemics of cholera in this country and abroad, and he yesterday gave The Dispatch a cholera cure, which has been, he says, used with marked suc cess. The ingredients are simple, and the mixture will be prepared by any druggist. This is the cure: Cut This Out and Paste It. Ono ounce of laudanum, ono ounce of spirits of cam phor, two ounces or tincture of singer and two ounces of cap sicum or red pepper. The In gredients should bo thoroughly ' mixed. Mr. Glosser said: "A dose is a teaspoon ful in a wineglass of water, and should be taken at the first symptoms of the disease. If the case is obninate repeat the dose everv three or four hours until relief is obtained. Usually, if taken in time, one dose will be found efficacious and will check the disease. A smaller dose, of course, should be given to children. The cure is good for dysentery and cramps. "This is called the Constantinople cholera cure, because it was used by the American missionaries during the great epidemic of 1832 with marked Buccess. I have seen this remedy tried in many cases, and never knew it to fail if taken'at the proper time. It brings almost instant Telief. The lauda num "produces" a'slightly comatose1 condition and stops the pain in the stomach, , t , Anotber-Bitmedy for thn Same Disease. The cure offered by Mr. Glosser is similar to the New York Sim's cholera remedy, which has been very efficacious in cases of bowel trouble, and is as follows: Equal parts ot tincture) ot opium, tincture of rhubarb, assence of peppermint and spir its of camphor. Mix well and take 15 to 30 drops in a wine glass of water, according to age and violence of attack. Repeat every 15 or 20 minutes until relief is found. Among the arrivals in the city yesterday was H. Seamon, the toby manufacturer of "Wheeling, who has just returned from a trip to Germany. He stopped for awhile at the St. James Hotel. Speaking of the cholera he said : "Germany is thoroughly scared over the plague, and when I hurried away from Bremen the people there were nearly panic-stricken. Jiivery Indication point's to the spread of the disease in Europe, and I do not think it can be kept out of England." IN TEE CEOLEBA DISTBICT. Friends Anxious About the Safety of Miss Ellen Essellns. The friends of Miss Ellen Essellns are feeeling some anxiety about her getting back home safely. Miss Esselins is the teacher ot the Sloyd industrial system in the Forbes district and spent her vacation this summer visiting her relations in Sweden. She wrote to Superintendent Luckey from her mother's home that she expected to sail on the Eugia, of the Hamburg American line, August 21. As Hamburg is right In the midst of the cholera infected district it is feared she might have been detained. No word has been received from her, however, and it is expected she will arrive in five or six days. CATEEPILLAES VISIT THE PABKS, Devonr the Leaves, Friehten the Ladles and Prove a Nuisance. In these last days of summer the dust and the caterpillars have formed ah unfortunate and pestiferous alliance wherewith to deface the beauty and injure the 'leafy growth of the trees. This is particularly noticeable throughout the Allegheny parks. Like his cousin, the grasshopper, the cater pillar has there become a burden, a nnisance and a plague. Their cocoons and lairs are to be seen . in great numbers upon the leaves and long branches of the trees." Many trees are almost entirely denuded of their foliage.by these leaf gormauds, while many more are In a state of half nakedness. These wretched beasts of prey, as .an observer characterized the caterpillars yesterday, are an annoyance and even terror, to many of the passersby. This is particularly true in the case of the gentler sex, upon whose fair shoulders the little hairy, wriggling things sometimes unwittingly descend when they lose their foothold. ' Like some other beasts of prey, they devour the flesh and leave the skeletons of their victims, and, in consequence, instead of the fair, firm substance of the leaf, only its ribs or bones are left to wither and bleach in the sun or fall and decay in the coming rains ot the autumn. In the opinion of several citizens spoken to yesteroay an intelligent systematic treatment should be persisted in until the trees are well rid of their undesirable visitants. , Whipped the Whole Family. J. W. Findly. of No. 42 Vine street, was arrested yesterday. He has been drinking considerably lately, so his wife avers, "and yesterday he took his wife's watch and pawned it The wife remonstrated and he knocked her down.

Investigating Statements Made at Meetings in the East. THINKS THE MEN AEE TOLL TREATED Bev. Louis Albert Banks, of Boston, an eminent divine who is famous the country over as an unfaltering friend of labor, and who within lecent years has attracted widespread attention by his exposure and assault upon the sweating system in the New England industries, was in Pittsbnrg yesterday on his way back from. Home stead. Mr. Banks went to Homestead on Thursday afternoon. He was accompanied by L. M. Warden, of the Lake Erie Bail road, and B. G Catel, a painter of Wheel ing. Mr. Banks does not look like a minister. He dresses in good taste, but with an utter disregard for the conventional ideas of the church. He wears tan shoes, a well-made pair of light-colored pantaloons, a pepper and salt coat of the skeleton pattern, a light leather belt, a negligee shirt and a white plug hat His face is handsome and oval. He wears a blonde mustache, and looks well pleased with himself and the rest of the world. Believed All He Heard of Homestead. "I came from Boston to Homestead just to satisfy my curiosity," Mr. Banks said yesterday before leaving for his home. "When Hugh O'Donnell and Burgess Mc Luckie were in Boston some time ago I went to hear them tell of the Homestead strike. Their story was interesting, and from what they said on the subject I was positively convinced that the men who had gone into the mill to work since the strike were being badly treated, and in fact were being subjected to'all sorts of outrages. Ibelieved that men were being chopped to pieces by the great saws in the mill and I had no doubt that the new men were un able to operate the great concern. How ever, I came to see for myself and now I am heartily glad I came." "Well, tell me what you found there," the reporter suggested. "Well, I am going to write abont what I found at Homestead. I can sav, however, that I did not verify the stories told in Boston by O'Donnell and McLuckie. I found the great mills running. That much must be admitted. I am not a Bteel expert, but in my judgment the work being turned out is first-class. "It was just noon when Igot there, and at my own request I was shown through the ditiing rooms and I examined the food as it was being placed upon the tables. The food would have been good enough for me. It was substantial enough for the workmen and it appeared to me to be tasty. I ex amined the kitchens and thev appeared to me like the kitchens of a first-class hotel. Couldn't Find a bpeak-Easy. "I made a careful examination nt tlin sleeping apartments. I had the bunks opened for my inspection, and I can say cheerfully the bunks were clean and com fortable. "Another matter, and one in which I was thoroughly interested, was investigated by me," Mr. Banks said. "We were told in the East that the company was running a speak-easy in the mill for the ben efit -of the workingmen. We know but little of speak-easies in the East and I was anxious to see one. I asked to be shown to the place, but I was told by the authorities that thev did not have a r speak-easy orrthe premises. I was slow to tieueve what they told me in the face ot the other stories told- ns and I decided to investigate the matter on my own account I took Mr. Catel into my confidence, and I had him go to Super intendent Potter and," if possible, secure for me a small drink of liquor. Mr. Potter was- anxious to send uptown and get the liquor for me, but he assured my messenger that there was none In the works. That con vinced me that the speak-easy story was not well founded. "However," Kev. Mr. Banks concluded, "the mills at Homestead are working and I am glad 1 went there and saw the conditions for myself." A QTJABTET OF ACCIDENTS.

Death or Mrs. Marl Anne Boslnskl, Wife of the Elng of the Poles t Courtship Interrupted by Political Intrigue A Borne In the Tew World. Mrs..Marie Anne Bosinski,wife of Joseph Bosinski, of 1813 Penn avenne, died yester day after an illness of several months. The history of the courtship .and marriage of the couple is interesting. Mr. Bosinski is prominent among the Polish peonle of the city; in tact, he has attained the distinction of being called the "Polish King of Pitts burg" on account of his services to his countrymen. Bosinski's father -was a well-known citi zen of Mootzen, in the Province of Posen, Poland. As young Bosinski was growing into.boyhood a little child next door, who was destined to become his wife, developed into a Deautuui gin. xneir early court ship was broken short, for Bosinski was sent to school at Tremeschen. Dur ing this time he kept np a con stant correspondence with the young girl. While at school his father became involved in some political affairs attending the up rising of the Poles against Bussian author ity in 1863. His father was first charged with being an agent of the rebels, and was arrested on the charge of being in con spiracy with a priest and a nobleman to kill Frederick Wilhelm, the grandfather of the E resent Emperor of Germany, on the day of is coronation at Polish Kroen, where the Prussian monarchs were formerly crowned. The charge could not be proved and he was released, but was not allowed to leave his native town for three days before and three days after the coronation, being strictly watched bv military all the time. After this every move Bosinski's father made was watched by the authorities and it became very annoying to him. At last, his son having graduated, he announced his in tention of leaving the country for America. This almost broke young Bosinski's heart. He had only been back with his sweetheart a-short time and now he was to be torn away from her perhaps forever. The parting between the young lovers was very pa thetic and all sorts of promises were exchanged. Having landed in New York theyimmediatelyprooeeded to Pike county, this State. Although the father was 'a shoemaker he took a nick and shovel and worked by the side of his son. Joseph Roainski had but one object in view to earn enough money to enable him to send for the girl he wanted to make his wi'e. He worked hard and not satisfied with his success he left with his father for Wisconsin. They were not successful there and moved to Pittsburg where Bosinski has established a good publishing business and has remained ever since. As soon as Bosinski was prospering he brought his first love to Pittsburg where he married her. His wife's death has caused great mourn ing in nearly all the homes of the neigh borhood as well as in his own household. A SOLDIER IN JAIL. Got Ten Days for Ilisgraeeful Conduct on the Streets Ore of the Eighteenth K-cIment Amory Guards What Sapor Intendrat O'Mara Thinks of It. "William Jones, a private soldier who has been doing guard duty at the armory of the Eighteenth Regiment, on Diamond street, since the labor troubles broke out, was sent to jail for ten days by Magistrate Oripp yesterday on a charge of disorderly conduct. The arrest of Jones was caused by "Warden McAleese, of the county jail. For some time past, the Warden states, some of the soldiers haye been carrying on disgracefully with women and young girls, who came to the armory to see them. The women did not enter the armory, but were entertained on the street, in lull view of the "Warden's residence, where their actions, as well as their loud, and at times foul conversation could not be avoided by the "Warden's 'family. On Thursday at nearly midnight the "War den was awakened from his sleep by the noise just under his window. Police Officer Fred happened along soon afterward and the "Warden askid him te arrest the soldiers and their female companions.. The party fled at the officer's approach, but he managed to capture two girls. Jones walked after them to the patrol box and was arrested also. At the hearing . yesterday mornine the "Warden told his story. The magistrate said he had, heard other stories of the same char acter and he believed them. The whole party was fined ?5 and costs, but in default of the fine Jones was sent to jail. The other guardsmen on duty at the armory claim Jones was not acting improperly, nor were they, and they talk lndeunitely'of investi gating the matter to see if the police had any authority to make the arrest. They claim the police are jealous of them. They say further that some of the women who come to see them are wive3 or mothers of the men. The police officials say they are ready for an investigation and that the soldiers are just as amenable to the civil law for dis orderly conduct as any other citizens. "From what I hear of the Jones case." said Superintendent O'Mara last night, "I think he should have been sent to the workhouse. No man who cares for his family wonld tole rate such shameful 'conduct under bis win dows. I believe there are manv good, respect able men in the National Guard, but some of those on duty last night were an exception. If such a case is reported from that place again I will have every man in the place arrested. I know the officers of the regi ment wonld not tolerate such conduct if they knew it."

BUSINESS NOW H0TES MOKE BRISKLY "The tide of travel has turned toward the "West," Conductor Al Borland, of the Pennsylvania Bailroad, said last night. "The greatest season we have ever known for visiting the seaside resorts seems to be closing, and the railroads are hustling as much now to get the people home as they were bustling two months ago to get the people down there." Every train coming to Pittsburg for two days past has been crowded with excur sionists from the Eastern resorts. On the street corners may be seen at every turn faces that have been missing from the great throng for a month or two, and business seems to move just a trifle faster. The pretty girls who with their summer beaux have swelled about on the beach at Long Branch, Cape May or Atlantic City for two months are back to the stern reali ties of life. Their parents are also back from the resorts figuring out just how the tame amusement of the shore comes to cost so much. Each of the incoming trains yesterday carried extra chair cars and sleepers. -The greatest difficulty of the railroads is to get sufficient cars in the East to supply the de mands ot the people who are hurrying home. Conductor Pitcalrn, of the Pennsylvania Bailroad, returned to Pittsburg yesterday from Atlantic City. He had charge of a delegation of excursionists. He says the coldwave has not yet reached the seashore, but it's expected there at anytime. "While some people enjoy the beach even in winter, the bulk ot the visitors will leave there within the next week. All the leading hotels will then close up with the exception of one or two that will remain open to entertain those who linger there in search ot health. "The last excursion from Pittsburg to Atlantic City will be due to return to Pitts burg on Sunday night. After we get those excursionists in we will have but little trouble handling the others who are still lingering there," Depot Master Cowie said last night.
