November 30 is the last day oa which taxes can D5nvWMTABED &? bo paid without the addition of the penalty. The flirt tnon to pay his taxes wai Nicholas Kiln, of 1318 Stafford ave nue. He took Assistant Treasurer ltuunc's breath away hy admitting that ho owned n dot; anil unking how much tax he would have to pay for It. The poor tax duplicates are about ready and Collector Furr will open bis books next week. Despite City Treas urer Itoblnson's orders against the poor tax collector being allowed quar tets In his oill'-p, Mr. Fair will very likely do bis collecting there. The le solutlon tiniler wbleh the poor board was allowed a place In the treasurer's ollleo for the life of Its collector, though passed In 1M3. is stilt In force. It directed the public buildings com mittee to provldo a place for the poor tax collector and the committee de signated u portion of the ireasurer'a olllce. The same committee placed the treasurer In that apartment and neither has any more right there than the other. PRINCIPAL THILLIPS IN CITY. Declined to Discuss School Board or Himself. Dr. 'leou'e AV.

THE STONE-MASONS NOW Have Decided to Demand an Eight Hour Day Ten More Carpenters Have Signed the. Building Trades Council Agreement. The stone masons union have now demanded an eight-hour day. This action was decided upon tiv a meeting held on Monday afternoon but Iho facts were not made known until ir.le last night. It Is understood that none of the other trades will demand nil eight-hour dry, the rest appearing t be satisfied with conditions before the strike. Ten more enrpentets signed the Hulldlng Trades" council agreement yesterday making a total of seventy who have appended their signature since Thursday morning Inst. The two most important concerns who signed yesterday were Uert Davis und th" South Side Lumber company. Until of tlies firms control lumber yards In addition to being general contractors. While a number of those who have signed the ngrecutent have had sulll clent lumber to do nil the work they reriulred up to the present time, there wei-e n few who were handicapped by being unable to procure It. The Uulld Ittg Trades' council would not of course, allow lumber to be bought from mem bers of the Kxchange, and ns all of the linger lumber yards are members of the organization, the question was as suming a serious aspect. This dlllleultv has now been adjusted and the con tractor.., niv in a position to secure nil the lumber thev may need. A committee from the plumbers' nl ii visited the various master plum bers yesterday and endeavored to get them to sign nn agreement. This agreemnt embodied the eight-hour de mand with the same wage scale ns for nierely and several clauses of the old agreement. jacKcu at mo etui ot It was a clause stating that these rules were to be subject te the rules of the Untitl ing Trades-' councl!. This last clause "phased" the mnste.' plumbers anil they refused to even consider the sub Jeit. Six plumbeis from out of town were at work In the city yesteidny and the agent sent out by the master plumhera on Monday night will probably arrive In the city today with n number of others. The plumbers are determined to get their work done. A large sum of money has already been received by the executive com mute of the Hulldlngs Trades council In answer to the appeals recently sent out to Hie vniiotm national orpanlza iIoph. The money Is arriving daily from the various local unions through out Ihe country and Is being distributed among the different sympathizing unions who ate out. In addition to the complaints out lined in yesterday morning's Tribune, to be pn felled to the treasury ofllclal by the committed who left for Wash ington, D. C. yesterday morning in re gard to the stone work on the new Immigrant station, being done by Frank Cnrluci I, nnother complaint wlil br presented. This Is that there has been a vlolutton of the fedeial and slato lnjv" which provide that eight hours shall constitute a day's work on all government, stale and municipal build ings. Prior to the tie-up the stone cut ters at Mr. Cnrluccl's yard worked nine hours a day cutting the stone for this building and It Is claimed that this fact will have great weight with tbo treasury department. It was learned last night Urn the large lumber and wondwoiklug firm of Joseph Alusley X Sot! had signed the agreentnt. The woodworkers In this establishment u 111 go back to work this morning. This Is Hie biggest llrm that has et signed the agreement. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Took a Boat from the Lackawanna to tho Mississippi River It Went Over the Allegheny Mountains. In the recently issued "History of the Pennsylvania ltallroad," an Interesting two volume publication from the pen of William Hender 'Wilson, It is related that a man from these parts was the first to take a boat from the waters of Pennsylvania to the Mississippi. The rent was accomplished with the aid of the Pennsylvania railroad. The histor ian relates tho Incident as follows: t "In October, 1S34, this portage road wns actually the means of connecting the waters of eastern Pennsylvania with those of the SltssNslppI and as the circumstance Is peculiarly Interest ing, we hear place It on record: "Jesse Cbtisman, from the Lacka wanna, tributary of the north branch of the Susquehanna, loaded bis boat, named 'Hit or SIlss', with his wife, children, beds and family accommoda tions, pigeons and other live stock and started for II :nos. "At Holllilnysburg. where be expect ed to sell bis boat. It was suggested by John Dougherty, of the Itellanee Transportation line, that the whole concern could be safely hoisted over th. mountain, nnd set ufloat again In th" canal. , 'Sir. Dougherty prepared a railroad ear calculated to bear the novel hut den. The boat was taken from its proper element and placed on wheels, and un der the supoiintend?ncy of Slajor C. Williams, (who be it remembered, was th? first man who ran a boat over the Allegheny mountain), the boat and cargo, nt noon on the same day b"can their progress over the nigged Alle gheny. All this wns done without dis turbing the family arrangements, of cooking, sleeping, etc. They rested nt night on the lop of the mountain, like Noahs' ark on Ararat, and descended, the next morning. Into the valley of the Mississippi and sailed fur St. Louis." GIVING PALMER A BOOM. Meeting in His Interest Held in Wilkes-Barro Yesterday.
