THIS AND THAT "There seems to bo a. gpod deal of misapprehension about that decision of tho supreme court in the Jormyn assessment case." eald Attorney T. II. JJurns yesterday. "I have read In some newspaper In the city that tho decision will put J30.000 into the city treasury. That is not true. The deci sion settles a disputed point but asldo from that is of no value to tho city. When the board of assessors made a new assessment in 1807 It was attacked and fearlnc; the whole assessment might be invalidated the city fell back on the triennial assessment and on that computed the taxes of property owners. That tax was paid and property own ers received teccipts In full from the city. There is nothing additional due. nothing to be paid, the now assessment having been abandoned. Tho decision of the supreme court allows tho board of revision and appeal to order a now assessment whenever they see lit so to do, but I cannot but believe that the supreme court did not have a firm grasp of the subject matter in dispute when that decision was decided upon."

It Differs Radically from the State ment of Mangan. "Your paper did mo an Injustice to day In associating my name with that of the notorious Mike Mangan, of Third street," said John Kelley, esquire, yes terday. Mr. Kelley Is tho young man who wenrs tho loose fitting ormlno In the Eighteenth watd and whose Judi cial career has been checkered by largo splashes of color. "I was not passing by ns ycir paper stated," continued Mr. Kelley, "I had business with Mrs. Cpnnors, who lives next door to the Mangan house, nnd whllo In there I heard n woman yelling murder. On looking out tho door, I saw Mangan after his wife with an Iron In his hand. They inn Into tho next house nnd Mnngan caught his wife by the head. 'When I got to where Mnngan was, ho was unmercifully beating his wife. Uoth were on the lloor. "No man would allow such ti brute to bent a woman, nnd tho consequence was that Martin got the worst of the fray and hid behind tho stove llk,c a whipped cur, pleading to his wife not to put him In Jail again. "There Is a warrant out for him now and ho won't be long nt large. No revolver was used. Constable New man tried to get him from behind tho stove while I went and telephoned for the police. When I returned both Mnngan nnd Newman had gone. I will have Mnngan before me before many moons and I will treat him na he treats his wife nnd children." This statement differs radically from the one given by Mangan. which was printed In yesterday's Tribune. The ense is now before tho public In Its entirety. ARE MARRIED AT LAST. Lewis Cass Case Miller and His Youthful Bride Had a Stormy Time of It. Lewis Cas Case Miller and Jennie M. Hendricks were married yesterday by Alderman Howe, after a checkered experli-nco tho past thirty days in which elopements, arrests, "jails, and forgiveness followed one another as in cidents. Miller up to July 1 lived with his wldowtd mother on West Lackawan na avenue and wni employed ns barber In a bhop conducted by .Ituncs Gib bons near the city line, Minooka. On the above date he did not go to work, but, pursuant to an arrangement, met Miss Hendricks nnd went to Hingham ton to 'be married, an event which they were unable to have accomplish ed because they could get no clergy man or Justice of the peace to marry them on account of their juvenile ap pearance. Miller is only 17 years old. and his bride Is but 13. Tho first day of July was Friday. The next her parents saw of her wns on the Sunday following. They nsked what kept her away two days. S1h told the truth. The next day, which was the Fourth, a hearing was given Miller before Alderman Mil lar on a warrant sworn out by tho girl's parents alleging n. number of serious charges for enticing one so young away from home for the pur pose of marrying: her. He was held In 11,000 bnll which he could not fur nish, nnd was committed to tho coun ty jail. A few days later he secured a bondsman and was released. Within a week negotiations were made between "botli families for va tual consent toward the marriage, nd a license was secured yesterday at the ofllcc ot Clerk of tho Courts Danlols, after which they went to Alderman Howe's ofllcc and were married. SEVENTH AND NINTH WARDS. Number of Voters from These Places Examined Yesterday.

Tho hearing this forenoon will be de voted to the examination of witnesses from Archbald. The attorneys on both sides have be come habituated to badgering each other, but nt a stage of yesterday's hearing this conduct suddenly rose to fever heat. Mr, Hamilton laid a tax receipt on the table and Mr. Donovan picked it up, He was told to put It down and ho refused, nnd upon still refus ing ho was informed that some ono might come over and tako it from him.

War Itevenuo Bill Has Increased the Amount of Collections Ono Hun dred and Fifty Por Cent Com missioner Scott Rules That a Mar riage License or Certificate of Mar riage Does Not Havo to Be Stamp edTax on Bond Accompanying Mortgage. Major T. F. Penmun, Internal rev enue collector for this district, has pro pared and forwarded to Washington his report for the month of July. It shows that during the thirty-one days the war tax measure was In operation up to Aug. 1, the revenue of Uncle Sam In this district has Increased about 1M per cent. An opinion from Revenue Collector Scott received yesterday states that mnrralgo licenses and the certificates of marriage Issued by cler gymen are not subject to the war tnx when first Issued. Subsequent dupli cates of them must be stamped. The amount of business done by this Internal revenue district during the month of July Is shown by tho follow ing llgures: List, under which head Is Included all revenue for which stamps are not Issued, J26.757.54; beer,. I100.47fi.08; whiskey, $3,387.32; cigars, $G, 766.15; tobacco, $4,034.11; specials, $25, 677.13; documentary stamps, $23,994.65; proprietary stamps, $4,70S.31. Total, $203,733.59. The revenue collected dur ing the month of July, 1S97, was $148, 506,96, but that does not give a fair In dication of the normal condition of rev enue affairs at thnt time for the rea son that the Dlngloy tariff bill went Into effect during thnt month, cutting off the seven nnd one-half per cent, dis count that had been nllowed on beer Btnmps when bought In quantities. ' Knowing that the new law would cut off this rebate many brewers bought thousands of dollars worth of stamps early in July which Increased that month's receipt to a wonderful extent, but decreased tho receipts for the suc ceeding months. BETTER COMPARISON. A better comparison is furnished by the month of July, 1S0S, when normal conditions prevailed. The following were the receipts for that month: List, $4.80; beer, $30,710.90; whiskey, $3, 686.21; cigars. $7,698.00; tobacco, $3,073. 9S; specials, $15,850.50. Total, $81,924.39. It will be seen by these figures that the amount derived from tho sale of cigar stamps In July 1896, wns almost $1,000 more than In July of this year. This Is due to the fact that prior to July 1 the cigar manufacturers stamped all the stock they had on hand with stumps at tho old rate nnd consequent ly there was n decided falling off In the demand for cigar stamps during July. Taken altogether. Uncle Sam should be very well pleased with the showing made by Collector Penman's district. At the request of the clerk of tho orphans court of Luzerne county, Col lector Penman asked for an opinion as to whether or not marriage licenses and the marriage certificates Issued by ministers should contain ten cent stamps. Ho received Commissioner Scott's reply yesterday. Ho rates that the marriage license and marriage cer- tlllcate are for the purpose of collect ing and registering vital statistics as a basis for the administration of pub lic health laws and that the license and original marriage certificate come within the exemption of Section 17 of tho war revenue act, which Is to tho effect thnt all state, county, town or other municipal corporations in no exercise of functions strictly belonging to them In their outline of governmen tal taxing or municipal capacity are exempt from the stamp tax Imposed by the revenue act. On certificates Is sued subsequently to the original the commissioner decides that a stamp must be placed. TAX ON BONDS. At the request of many lawyers, Col lector Penman secured an opinion as to whether or not bonds accompany ing mortages should be stamped and If so at what rate. The revenue law provides under a sub-dlvlslon entitled bonds In schedule A that "All other bonds of any description require a fifty cent stamp." Mr. Penman gave It as his opinion that bonds attached to mortgages aro independent securities and should be classed with promissory notes, requiring stamps at the rato of two cents per $100. Tho department has sustained Mr. Penman's view of the law In an opinion which says'. "In all cases where a mortgage Is accompanied by a note or a bond for the amount secured by the mortgage the note or bond which is In effect a promissory note Is subject to a stnmp tax as provided In schedule A, under the head of bills of exchange, etc," This reauires thnt a tax of two cents for each $100 shall bo affixed to every bond attached to a mortgage, Tho commissioner goes further and states that when a mortgage contains a clause or stipulation promising to pay a certain amount tho instrument will be subject to taxation as a promissory note according to tho rulo provided therefor and this is, notwithstanding the fact that the mortgage may bo for tho sum of $1,000 or less. This leads to the conclusion that the commissioner considers a mortgage as a defeasible deed as distinct from an agreement for the payment of money. Many of those who did not pay tho ivu- tax before Aug, 1 are settling up and paying tho CO per cent, penalty, although not without much murmur ing. It is not likely that extreme measures will have to be resorted to In many cases. If It Is necessary, how ever, thlB will be done. TAX ON WINE. It has been reported to the collector that many liquor dealers are not ob serving the part of the war revenuo law which requires that each bottlo of wine must be stamped. The stocks In the hands of tho local dealers were ob tained prior to July 1, It Is reasonable to suppose, and therefore were un stamped by the manufactuerer or wholesaler. It therefore became the duty of the retailer to stamp It. Not many of them havo done so, and ar rests are likely to follow. The. same applies to dealers who had proprietary medicines on hand when tho wnr tax went Into effect. Many of them havo mado no effort to secure stamps or comply with the law. REMOVING: BIO CULM PILE. Process That Is in Use at the Payne Colliery. I One of the most economical Indus- tries In the Wyomlnc coal field Is now In operation nt Payne's colliery In Lu zerne. It hns already taken hundreds of tons of saleable coal out of what once seemed to bo a valueless culm pile. The culm Is washed Into a chute on tho bank's surfneo by the means of a strong current of mine water which Is pumped by nn englno from tho bot tom of the shaft. After the culm Is In the chute It Is convoyed by the means of an elevator to a smnll brenker designed for Its re ception nnd the larger sizes, nnmely, steamboat, egg and stove coal, aro taken out and loaded In enrs for tho market, whllo tho culrn Is sent through a pipe Into tho mine and Is utilized In filling old workings and making them secure from caving In. Tho small coal, such ns pea coal and buckwheat. Is used In the boiler house to mnke steam for the various engines. The lnrge bank which once obscured the view of the surrounding towns Is now being removed and If this Industry is continued In operation for nnother year, as no doubt it will, since the pros pects arc so Inviting, no traces of tha once Immense culm pile will be left to mark Its site. Wllkes-Barre Times. SOME SERIOUS CHARGES. Made by Mrs. Ellen Fadden Against Her Partner, John F. Roche Are in the Hotel Business. Last week nn equity suit was brought by John F. Roche, ot the firm of Roche & Fadden, praying for a partition of the property at No. 9 Lackawanna ave nue, between himself and Ellen Fad den and her children. He alleged that she refused to agree to a partition, and took that means of compelling her to do so. Yesterday Attorney S. H. Price, act ing for Mrs. Fadden. tiled a bill in equity against Mr. Roche praying that the co-partnership be declared void and that nn account be taken of the moneys received and paid In regard to tho said co-partnership. And that In tho mean time Mr. Roche be restrained by an or der or Injunction from collecting or receiving any of tho partnership debts or money. She alleges that in December, 1S87, she entered Into a partnership with him In the business of hotel keeping at No. 9 Lackawanna avenue, nnd one hnlf of tho capital stock was furnish ed by each. That for upwards of one year he has had tho active manage ment of tho concern and she believes and expects to bo ablo to provo that he has permitted the Indebtedness to Increase and has confessed Judgments for the alleged purpose of causing the property to be sold that ho might ac quire title thereto.

DR.S. C.SNYDER jji Spruce Street, Opp, Hotel Jermyn NO MATCH MAKING ALLOWED THERE MEMBERS OF THE POOR BOARD ENTER AN OBJECTION. Routine Business Transacted at the Board Meeting Dr. xt. W. Weta orlll, ot Philadelphia, Makes a Re quest John Sargeant, of Nichol son, Wants His Son Back Super intendent Beemer Submits His Ho port for July Mayfleld Sends an Insane Patient to the Home. Stnld, unromantlo members of the poor board object to having their rooms In tho city hall used for "matchmak ing" purposes, as President W. S. Langstuff rather unpoetlcally stated the proposition yesterday, and while nothing wiyi done In nn official way. It Is probable that If ngaln a poor, for lorn nmn asks the kind offices of Mrs, DuEgnn In securing him a good wife she will have to compel him to be silent while In the apartments where public charity Is measured out. The man who collides with the poor board's objection to matchmaking under the direction ot a public official may feel thnt It Is a cold kind ot chnr lty he Is receiving, but he will prob ably console 'himself with tho thought that there aro other plnces where matches can be made besides heaven nnd the poor board rooms. Yesterday's was the monthly meet ing of tho board and Superintendent Beemer submitted his monthly report for tho Home. Tho board wns honored by a communication from Dr. H. M. Wctherlll, secretary of the State Board ot Public charities. Most of the ap plications for aid were worthy nnd wcro referred to the proper directors. THE REPORTS READ. President Langstnff presldcdasusunl. Superintendent Boomer's report for July Indicated nn Increase of thirty two inmates for the month. For tho month ending June 30, there were 411 inmates. During July fifteen males were admitted, classified ns follows: Five sane, eight insane nnd two sane born. Also committed during the month were seventeen females, classified ns follows: Ten sane, five Insane and two sane born. During tho month there were fifteen discharges, eight fane males and two sane females and two insane females, nnd died, one sane male nnd two Insane females. The whole classification was 120 sane males and sixty-five sane females: 120 Insane males nnd 126 Insane females, making a total of 240 sane nnd Insane males and 191 sane and Insane females, or a grand total of 431 Inmates. Mrs. Margaret Drier, of Lackawanna avenue, applied to the board for as sistance In reference to the care of her grandchild, Bernard Bacon. This makes the third chnpter of the sad history of the Bacon-Drier families. Bacon wns arrested and as a result married tho girl. Later a case was brought ogalnst the girl, Gertrude Drier, charging her with perjury. Bacon meanwhile de serted her nnd joined tho army. Tho mother has now deserted tho child nnd gone nnd It Is thus a care for tho grandmother. The board directed that the little lad be sent to the Home. WILL RECEIVE THE MAN. Dr. H. M. Wetherlll, secretary of the Board of Public charities, sent a com munication to tho board requesting the admission of nn insane man to tho Hillside Home. He states that it Is a pitiable case and the Danville author ities will not take It. The man is a resident of Watsontown. Northumber land county, and by present inference will not live long. The board felt high ly complimented by the apparent con fidence reposed In them by Dr. Weth erlll, and the patient will be admitted, Almost Identical with the above case is the request of the Mayfleld author ities to have an insane woman ad mitted at the Hillside Home. Warren and Danville asylums both plead a crowded condition. Tho woman will be sent to the Home as per request and Mayfleld pays expenses. John 'Sargeant, of Nicholson, ap peared before tho board and asked to have his boy, Charles Sargeant, given back to him. The lad is now at the Pope school, after having been nt the Home for the Friendless, St. Patrick's Orphanage and the Hillside Home. Tho father gave up his son because the mother hod deserted tho homo and ho could not devote sufficient time to his care. This was about four years ago and, although the wife has been back about three years, they did not wont the boy, Mr. Sargeant says, because he and his wife thought tho boy would be better cared for where ho was than with them. Now that the boy Is nearly six teen years of age, he thinks different. FANCY 98c Bushel. Coursen's Java Coffee, 25c. Per Pound Fresh Roasted Rio Coffee, 15c. Per Pound Java and Mocha, 30c.
