THE SUN, BALTIMORE, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1905. 12 COST NOT CONCLUSIVE BOLD KNIGHTS IN LISTS Biding: At My Lady's Manor The Best Seon In Years. MANY BDYERS COMING Two Hundred Registered Under Rebate System. TEXAN FINDS IT PROFITABLE TROLLEY IN CEMETERY Loudon Park Will Have A Private Electric Railway. LAKE TO BE CONSTRUCTED TOO OVERCOATS SEEN ON STREET Real Autumn Weather And Thermometer Down To Baltimoreans were treated to real autumn yeather last evening, and at midnight the thermometer registered 66.

As a result of this cool spell, after such a long siege of hot weather, several persona were seen on the streets last night wearing light overcoats. Everybody moved along briskly and all seemed greatly pleased over the relief. Although no rain is predicted by tho weather man for today the weather Is by no means regarded as settled, which Is chiefly due to the continued eastward movement of the area of low pressure. The day was comfortable and dry but for the fall of a few drops shortly before noon. The humidity was not nearly so manifest It SERGT.

REMARDT DEAD He Was Long A Familiar Figure In Financial District. BANKERS WERE HIS FRIENDS lie Was Known As Tne "Bismarck" Of The Force Declining Health. Caused His Retirement In 1897. Retired Sergt. Charles Reinhardt, of the Central district, who was known among the members of the Police Department and his numerous friends as the "Bismarck of the police force," died yesterday morning at his home, 720 Alsquith street, of paralysis.

While he was standing in the yard of his home on February 14 last he was paralyzed and lost the use of his left side. He suffered a second attack six weeks later and the third on August 7, which affected the nerves of his throat so that he was unable to articulate or take nourishment. Trobably no officer on the force was more popular than Sergeant Reinhardt, and he was personally acquainted with all the prominent business and financial men of this city. For 15 years he commanded what was known as the reserve squad, the members of which were stationed throughout the center of the city. Sergeant Reinhardt was born in a large, old-fashioned house which stood beside the old Fountain Hotel, later the Carrollton.

on Light street, on January 11, 1841. He was a son of the late Charles C. Reinhardt, a manufacturer of surgical Instruments. "When he was a child his father sold the house to the city, in order that German street could be cut through, and he moved with his family to Gay and Baltimore streets, where he continued his business. After receiving his early training in the public schools, young Reinhardt entered Calvert Hall College.

Shortly afterward he as on the day before, while the maximum temperature, registered at 10 A. M. in the forenoon, was only 79. This decreased rapidly and in three hours the mercury had fallen 0. The weather man declares there Is a slight probability of the low passing up the St.

Lawrence Valley and being followed by a high from the Northwest, which, it is believed, would break the wet spell which has lasted nearly two weeks.

Lewis J. H. Lewin. Mr. Ritchie Renders Opinion On Valuation Of Real Property.

City Solicitor Bruce submitted to the Appeal Tax Court yesterday two opinions which had been prepared by Assistant City Solicitor Kitchle. One relates to the ouestlou whether the cost of a building represents Its assessable value. This question has caused considerable contention, and It was the Idea of the Court that It should be decided by the Law Department. Mr. Ritchie holds "that it is tne duty or the court to assess all property at full cash value, and that while the cost of Improvements Is, of course, evidence of the value of the Improvements, yet it is by no means conclusive." He rioints out that the separate valua tion of lot and improvement, contemplated by the Maryland statutes, is intended to furnish, a method by wnicn tne wnoie ag gregate value of the land with the improvements may be ascertained.

In regard to the contention cometlmes made that nan the cost of party walls should be deducted In assessing buildings. Mr. Kitcine says that while this method may give the net cost of the structure, yet the value of the building "may bo greater or less than this sum, and may be entirely unaffected by the fact that one or both walls are party walls." The other opinion concerns the claim of the city against the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Hallway Company for taxes on its steamships. Mr. Ritchie reaches the conclusion that the steamships are taxable at the place of principal office of the com pany, which he finds to be at Salisbury, Wicomico county.

He therefore holds that the vessels are not taxable in Baltimore city. Incidentally, he says that there is no basis for the theory that the vessels can be treated as rolling stock and taxed under the laws governing Buch property. WANTS BOARD TO AWARD ALL Controversy Over Contract Leads Mayor To Talce Action. Mayor Timanus has asked the commit tee on accounts of the School Board to at tend a conference at 11 o'clock this morn ing th ntv TTnll.

Howard, of F. Weber had sought the advice of the City Solicitor and the latter had advised him to yfnra tho Mnvnr.

A recommendation for four-color boxes was presented, rondverttslncr. It la contended. the committee awarded a contract for four- color boxes to the Dulany Company. If this was done, Mr. Bruce told the Mayor, the action of the committee was illegal first, because the School Hoard ana not a committee can award contracts and, mAsnA Wanaa contract should have been awarded for an article not advertised.

Mavor Timanus went through a portion of the burnt district yesterday morning with Building Inspector Freston.

The Mayor was agreeably surprised at the progress made since his last visit. The number of uncleared lots, he said, is unfor tunate, and he recalled that he had given notice to all property owners in the district to have their sidewalks passable by September 1. "The time will soon be here," declared the Mayor, "and the owners of these uncleared lots can expect no mercy at my hands." The Mayor added that arrangements had been made for the clearing of all lots in the city's possession before the first of next month. The lots In the market and wharf districts are not included, as they will be cleared when the construction of the piers and market houses Is started. Contract For Horses Reversed.

After awarding the contract for fur nlshlng five horses for the Health Department to Harry M. Little, the Board of Awards reversed Its action and gave the contract to E. O. Christopher. Sir.

Little bid 00 cents a day for each horse for two years, and it was thought that this was the lowest bid. Later it was discovered that Mr. Christopher's lump bid of $2,544 was lower. The award of the contract to Mr. Chris topher was protested, and the protest will be taken up at a special meeting of the board this morning.

The contract for repairing the Iceboat Annapolis was awarded to the E. J. Codd Company. Worlc On Conrthonae Commenced. William Ferguson who have the contract for repairing the St.

Paul street side of the Courthouse, have commenced op eratlons.

It has been decided not to pave the plaza until this work Is practically completed. Manager Timanus is anxious to have all city work In the burnt district complete by September of next year.

Addition Of About 250 Acre la Be- ins Laid Oat Fnnernl Car Ca Go Nar Grave. The Loudon Park Cemetery Company ha decided to build a private electric rallwa in the cemetery. The contract for the constrnctlon of the road, which will connect with the Frederick road and "Wllkens avenue lines, bra bepn awarded to Ncwhall electrical rail way contractors, of this city, and work on ulreadv been started.

It Is expected that the line will be In operatlo by October 1. Besides this Innovation, the company Is n- arranging for extensive Improvements, I eluding the construction of a large laKe the southern section of the cemetery, with floating Islands. An addition of about acres In that section is now being laid out by Thomas Meehan Sons, landscape gardeners. Secretary Frank rrlmrose, of the company, said yesterday that two cars for the electric lino have been ordered. They are of a new type, which has never been used In this part of the country, although some of them are now In operation In California.

The cart have large windows, resembling nn observation car, and Instead of the ordi-nay sent there are stationary chnlrs In each plde of the aisle. The current for the line will be furnished by the United Railways and Electric Company. The line Is being constructed to afford accommodation to the visitors to the cemetery and to obviate the necessity of walking any considerable distance- The company operates five wagonettes, but the electric line, It Is thought, will give better service. It will also be tistnl by the funeral car of the United Hallways through the cemetery. At present the funeral car can only go to the entrance on the Frederick road.

From that point the coffin must either be carried or conveyed by dray to the grave or vault. Switches will be built at convenient points, so that the car can be run within easy distance of the lots. The line will connect with the Frederick road tracks just west of the entrance, and will run In a southerly direction, following closely the stream which flows through the grounds. A waiting room will be erected near the palm house. The line will pass close to the mausoleum, where the first switch will be built.

It will then skirt along the proposed lake to a point neur the track of the Catonsville Short Line, when it will take a westerly direction, crossing that ilortton of the cemetery which Is being opened up. and extending to the proposed tVilkens avenue entrance, where It Is Intended to have the line connect with the Wllkens avenue tracks, which will be extended to that point. IN EXCESS OF $60,000,000 Fire Innnrnnrr SnlvaKe Corpa Es timate Of Loan Fly Great Fire. Of especial Interest is the last annual report of the Fire Insurance Salvage Corps for the nsrnl year ended December 31, 104. because of Its reference to the great conflagration of February 7 and of that year.

No effort Is made to go Into the details of the tire further than to treat the matter generally. The actual loss as given in the report of the board of management of the corps Is declared to have been "In of $60,000,000." In connection with this the board's report reads, in part, as follows: The year 1801 waa the most disastrous one in the history of Are underwriting in this city, owing to the conflagration of February 7 and 8, which de-itroyed the larger portion of the business section cf this city. It Is Impossible to jrire you an accurate estimate to the actual Iojs sustained by the February conflagration, hut, after a careful penisal of all the data obtainable we are of the opinion that the actual fire loss caused by the conflagration referred tn was In eieess of and that the losses raM by the Tarious Insurance companies and organizations interested was about $42,000,000. Tills estimate Includes all losses not reported to the general loss committee and losses sustained by non-represented companies and Lloyds, none of which has otherwise been aeeovnte for. Inference to the conflagration In that portion of the report wherein Is given a complete list of the alarms, location of buildings afire, their description, names of owners and occupants, amount of damage, Is made as follows: Time.

Comparison With Philadelphia Largrely In Favor Of Baltimore Other Significant Facts.

About 200 merchants have so far registered at the rooms of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association and will receive a rebate of one-half of their transportation fare from Baltimore wholesale houses pro vided $1,200 worth of goods are bought in this city. These merchants come from all the Southern States, with a fair sprinkling from Pennsylvania. The register contains names from Pennsylvania and Texas, but by far the largest number so far are from the Carolinas and Georgia-Secretary Forrest says that the season for purchasing fall and winter stocks throughout the South Is Just about opening and he does not look for any great rush until next month. Then, he thinks, merchants will be coming forward in droves, and the outlook is bright for a brisk fall trade by the Baltimore jobbers. These have all provided for the rush, and in addition to complete lines of all domestics many novelties in millinery and special goods are displayed.

The number registered by no means represents all the visiting merchants. Many are in the city and more will come later who do not seek the rebate offered and perhaps may not visit the Merchants and Man-" ufacturers' rooms at all during their stay. A number of this class come to Baltimore regularly each season for their supplies and it requires no Inducement with this class to make them appreciate the advantages Baltimore possesses over Its Northern competitors in the wholesale trade. That the work of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, however, in Its efforts to attract trade to this city is bearing good fruit was demonstrated In the case of Mr. J.

William Brown, who comes from Georgia. He has usually gone to Philadelphia in the past. This trip he took the steamer at Savannah and, being unable to secure a berth on a Baltimore boat, he obtained one to Philadelphia and came direct from that city by rail to Baltimore yesterday. He will buy his goods here, and was making an inspection of the several stocks during the day. The difference in the rebates offered by Philadelphia and Baltimore was explained by the merchant who came from Texas.

In Philadelphia 1 per cent, on the amount of goods purchased is allowed for return trans portation. That Is, a purchaser of $1,200 worth of stock in Philadelphia can obtain only $12 from the merchants association. In Baltimore a buyer to this extent receives one-half his fare, regardless of what it amounts to. The Texan's return fare is $41.25. Had he purchased his stock in Philadelphia it would have been necessary for him to buy over $4,000 worth of goods before he could have obtained the required sum.

Under the system of the Baltimore association he will get the full return fare If he buys $1.200 worth. DROWNED WHILE ON PICNIC George It. Bauera Had Dived From Boat And Strangled. George H. Bauers, 14 years old, was drowned yesterday afternoon at Falrview, Anne Arundel county.

Wm. Sml fiBTIif AGO. engaged in business with his father, con-tinning until December 2, 1871, when he was appointed to the police force and assigned to duty in the Central district Being of commanding appearance 6 feet inches tall and weighing about 230 pounds he was given a post in the financial section. His Jovial manner soon won the friendship of bankers and business men, and on April 16, 1875, he was promoted to the sergeantcy largely through their personal indorsement. Then it was that he took command of the reserve squad, mostly composed of six- footers.

One of his favorite corners was at Balti more and South streets, where he would stand for hours pleasantly chatting with pedestrians. His popularity also extended to the men under him, and they generally referred to him as "Bismarck," a nickname which had been conferred upon him by a well-known banker. He was apparently fond of being told of the resemblance between himself and Ger many's foremost statesman, and as a result a number of jokes were played on him. One of these, which he related himself, was the receipt of a telegram purporting to come from the Kaiser, shortly after the retire ment of Bismarck. The telegram said that he (the Emperor) had realized that he had made a mistake in allowing Bismarck to step aside, and earnestly requested the Baltimore "Bismarck" to hurry to Germany and take charge of affairs.

The Sergeant thought this a huge joke, and for weeks he showed the telegram to his friends, possibly with the hope of finding Its author. Neverthe less, he immensely enjoyed the Joke himself. Sergeant Reinhardt was taken 6ick with rheumatism about 10 years ago, and lost about eight months from duty. He was on duty only a few months when he had a second and more severe attack, and he requested the Police Commissioners to give him a pension. This was granted on March 11, 1897.

After being under the doctor's care for several years he was relieved of his sufferings somewhat and was able to take a walk through the financial section possibly twice a week. His old friends gave him a warm welcome. His health continued to fall, and for the last two years he did not venture far from home. When a youth he became a member of the Volunteer Fire Department, and he was an active member of the Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Association. He was also a member of Joppa Lodge of Masons, Eu-taw Conclave of Heptasophs, O'Kell Bene ficial Association, Warren Lodge of Odd Fellows and the Police Beneficial Association.

On February 2, 1865, he married Miss Vlrgina Lowe Coulter. She survives him. with one daughter, two sons and eight grandchildren. The daughter is Mrs. Mary V.

"SEE MR. BONAPARTE" So Said They All As They Left Secretary's Office. "COUNCIL OF WAR," QUOTH HE Messrs. Mndd, WTachter, Stone, Williams, Putzel, Hanna And Golds-borough Were There. A conclave of war the name given It by Secretary Bonaparte lasting two hours was held yesterday afternoon in Mr.

Bona parte's office, 216 St. Paul street. Those present were Secretary Bonaparte, Congressman Mudd, Ex-StateSenator Putzel, State Chairman Hanna, CoTifrreasrosui Wachter, Collector Stone, Ex-State Senator 8. A. Williams, Collector of Internal Revenue F.

H. Goldsborocgh, There was great secrecy about the conference and few besides those directly Interested knew even that a meeting had been arranged. Those who had the password entered singly and endeavored to attract as little attention as possible. What they talked about can only be surmised. "See Mr.

Bonaparte we have decided not to say anything," said Mr. Hanna, the first to leave, his complexion bronzed by a business trip to Massachusetts, from which he returned Tuesday evening. "See Mr. Bonaparte," said Collector Stone, emerging a moment later with Congressman Wachter. They were heard to call each other "Frank" and "Billy" as they passed out.

"No, I haven't anything to say," said Mr. Wachter "see Mr. Bonaparte." Then came Congressman Mudd, Senator Putzel and Mr. Goldsborough. "No, we haven't anything to say see Mr.

Bonaparte," they said. "No, I haven't a thing to tell that I haven't already told," said Mr. Mudd. "Mr. Bonaparte can give the facts about the meeting." While "see Mr.

Bonaparte" was being said Mr. Charles Morris Howard, secretary of the Reform League, was admitted to Mr. Bonaparte's office. He remained but a few minutes. Mr.

Williams, who came out last, only said, "How do you do." "The gentlemen who Just left said you should be seen," Mr. Bonaparte was told. "Me? See me first? Ha, ha!" Mr. Bonaparte chuckled as he settled in his chair. "See you about the conference you have Just held." "Well, we talked about a good many things the defeat of the amendment, the defeat of the Democrats and other things and the decisions at which we arrived we are inclined to keep secret." Mr.

Bonaparte was In an exceedingly jovial mood, smiling throughout the "telling" of what was done In the conference. "It was a sort of conclave of war, you know," he said, "and everybody apparently went away happy. Really, there is nothing that I can tell for publication without being indiscreet. It was a conclave of war, you know. "We thought it would be to the advantage of the party to hold a conference about this time.

It was decided to hold it at my office for the convenience of the out-of-town gentlemen. There has been no date set for another conference, and I don't know whether another will be held shortly. Later in the campaign tnere will naturally be conferences." Secretary Bonaparte came to Baltimore j-esterday morning and will return tomorrow morning. This afternoon he will attend the Hibernian gathering at River "View. He will be escorted by a committee.

She trip from the Belvedere to River View will be made in a special trolley car. Congressman Mudd and Chairman Hanna called on Collector Stone and held an extended conference In the morning.

Contrary to the expectations of Baltimore and Harford county Democrats, the Republicans will nominate candidates for the chief and associate Judgeships In thoso two counties, which compose the Thlru Judicial district. This was decided at a conference of Baltimore and Harford county Republicans held In Baltimore Tuesday night. The selected candidates, it is stated, are Mr. D. Hopper Emory for chief Judge and Mr.

John S. Ensor for associate. Mr. Charles J. Bonaparte, before bis elevation to Secretary of the Navy, was spoken of as the Republican candidate for the chief judgeship, and It was said at the tlm that he was not averse to accept the nomination.

Ex-State Senator Stephenson A. Williams, of Harford county, was also spoken of for the nomination, bnt he demurred. Judge N. Charles Burke and Mr. Frank I.

Duncan are the Democratic nominees. Said He Wan Nearly Smothered. Mr. Samuel Hlldman, of Rock Creek, who was charged with destroying the nronertv of the Rock Creek Steamboat Company on Tuesday afternoon, was dismissed by Justice Leake, at the Southern Police Station, yesterday. A second charge of acting In a disorderly manner was entered against him, but after hearing the evidence the Justice released him on payment of costs.

Mr. Hlldman said he travels considerably on the line. Tuesday afternoon while going to Rock Creek he became sleepy and lay down. Officer Lane passed, he said, and decided to awaken him. WTords ensued and the officer placed Mr.

Hildman in the hold. It was badly ventilated. Mr. Hlldman testified, and he nearly suffocated. The officer, hearing Mr.

Hildman's efforts to free himself, went to the hold and decided to put him in another section of the boat. An Untamed Philosopher.

From Having Teeth Pulled. MARSHALS SHADOWY ARMIES Hurls Regiments Against The Foe And Weeps At Slanghter Sent To Sprlngr Grove.

Made temporarily insane by having near ly all of his teeth extracted, George W- King, 35 years old, 1030 North Wolfe street, held the police of the Central district entranced during the larger part of two days by the realistic manner In which he, in the small space of his room, marshaled imagi nary legions, directed their fire at phantom hostile armies and, calling the role after the engagement, wept over the horrors of war as the gaps in the fancy-conjured lines were revealed. Mr. King Is said to have gone through the ordeal of having his teeth drawn sev eral months ago. In a nervous condition at the time, the result Is said to have been madness. Last Wednesday he left his home, leaving no word of where he was going.

Finding that he had left the city, his wife notified the police and, having reason to believe he had gone to Pen-Mar, went there in search of him. Her search was not re warded, and last Saturday she was return ing home. The train stopped at a small siding. While it waited Mrs. King, looking from the window, discovered her husband crouched behind a small knoll near the track in the attitude of a skirmisher.

En listing the sympathies of the men on the train, ehe succeeded in getting him into the car and brought him to Baltimore. Quiet at times on the way, he would sud denly grow violent. The trip sorely tried the little woman who was clinging to him, but when he reached Hillen Station he grew uncontrollable and was taken to the Central Police Station. There he stayed until Tuesday morning, when he was sent to Spring Grove Asylum, the physicians saying that he would recover under treatment. The house force at the police station say they have not seen anything so.

impressive as the ravings of the man during those two days. At times he wovtld pace to and fro, moody and silent. Then, standing erect in the center of the room, he would marshal battalion after battalion and regiment upon regiment before b.lm Infantry, artillery and cavalry. Now he would order the infantry upon the scene, calling upon them to deploy or advance in close ranka, exclaiming as they broke and ran-before a pictured foe, hurling others to take their places as a panic struck them and they ran from the field. Again he would call upon the guns to speak from a hilltop, his gleaming as the roar he alone heard broke forth and the shells only he could see made the lines of the enemy wither, ne would call on the cavalry to charge and gloat over the way the men rode yelling into the fight.

As the chances of battle favored his armies or frowned upon them he would shout or weep. The tension of the struggle would hold him and the relief and reaction as the field he pictured was cleared would be reflected in his manner. Then he would talk of the soimding of the bugle, of the counting of "fours," with the many breaks in the lines, and would discourse, with tears in his eyes, of the grief for which cause had just been given, later calling the roll of his companies and crying bitterly as they failed to answer. Now he was fighting the wars of America, now those In Manchuria, During these intervals the police listened spellbound. All who heard him say that the feeling, awakened was not so much pity for the man as a feeling of conviction that there must be something where he pointed with such confidence, which he addressed In such assurance.

His wife cared for him while he was in the station, but could not endure seeing him. He is a pipefitter. HOW EXPORTS HAVE GROWN Comparative Table Has Been Pre pared By Collector Stone.
