Further Aramment in tho Taxation Disagreement. SALEM, Dec.

case of the town of Beverly vs. Franklin Haven. in which the latter appeals to the county commissioners for an abatement of taxes assessed for 1887. was continued today. Solomon Lincoln.

and his assistant. Mr. Bassett, appeared for Haven. and IL r. Moultcn, Forrest L.

Evans and Judge Choate appeared for the town of Beverly. It was shown that the assessors in 1885 assessed this estate at 6130.000. and in 1887 the same property was assessed at over $1300,000: and that Mr. Haven nad made a sworn state that its value was but $200.000. Mr.

Lincoln offered figures to show the va- rious valuations of property in Beverly in different years. Mr. Moulton objected, as the only question was the tax vain I of Mr. Haven's estate in 1887. and other estates had nothing to do with this.

hir. Lincoln said the oniv estimate was by comparison. Mr. Moulton said the case Was one of considerable importance. and if this mat-UT was it would require an investigation into the values of all in Beverly.

and read from Gray. le--38. Inhabitants of Chicopee vs. county commissioners of kiamptien. to show that such comeatison was not allowed.

He cla med that the only question was: Had the assessors taxed tire estate at more than its fair cash value? The assessors had wade oath to their valuation as being fair. He read other authorities in the same line. Mr. Evans thought the case of le Gray should establish the line of action tor the commissioners to follow; that if pot fol- lowed it would open the entire valuations of the town of Beverly for that year on both sides. Mr.

Lincoln read from the statutes the law in regard to assessols1 valuations. He claimed that Mr. Haven had been taxed more than a fair valuation in comparison with others. anti wished Mr. Haven's valuation scaled down to that of others in town.

He also read from 16 Gray in support of his position, and he proposed to show that on two other estates in Beverly Farina the same rule had nut been observed by the assessors. 'hat he did propose to show was that land of like value had been otherwise assessed. and if he was not allowed to use comparisons how would tie be able to show that this estate had been unjustly assessed? Mr. Moulton statel that the presumpcon was that the assessors of the town bad wade their valuations in accordance with the law. Mr, Lincoln said be proposed to show that the line of the store had been taxed by the assessors in similar locations at entirely different rates.

and appealed to the commissioners to allow this to be shown by figures. After nearly an boar's consultation. the commissioners decided that they could not see how they could arrive at a fair valuation unless they allowed the comparisons, and they would allow the question. Mr. Moulton wished the commissioners to take notice that he objected to the admission of any such testimony as to the value of other estates in 1887.

Mr. Lincoln first spoke of the valuation of William D. Pickman's land. Pickman place. three acres.

615.675 I 20 acres. three and a half sere Neptune street. 29 acres. Hale street, $11,000. William Sohier's estate.

Havens, heirs of Edwin Woodbury. rear of Hale street. 3 acres. 67800. Mr.

Moulton asked the commissioners if any of these cases were to be reected. if not near enough to Mr. Haven's for comparison. to which the commissioners answered. "Yes, it is so unde stood." At 4.15 the court adjourned to 8.15 tomorrow morning.

An Abundance of Bitter Accusations and Scandalous Ntw Your. Dec.

27.In Supreme Court chambers today Judge Lawrence made an order. on motion of Counsellor W. Lane O'Neill. in one of the most extraordinary divorce suits ever begunthe suit of Mrs. Linnie von second wife of von.

Prochoazka to be legally severed from him. her tbird husband. and incidentallY to receive $40 a week IIIIMODY and $500 counsel fees. The affidavits in the case are many and voluminous; the accusations and recriminations are both bitter and scandalous. defendant's first wife is practically placed in the attitude of a co-respondent.

4 There are charges hinting at hase conspiracy, and defendant's counsel is by one witness accused of having fabricated a false affidavit. it is a suit that porn sea to evolve a great deal of conflicting testimony and bad temper.and to throw same flashes of lurid light on certain edify. ing phases of our social economy. Mis. Linnie von Prochoazka i the daughter of Mrs.

3uckley. a lady well-kuown In this city for active work in heti di of temperance and organized benetolence. nie's brother is a physician here. and her uncle is a respected Episcopal clergyman in a town 20 miles distant- Mr. Joseph Otto von Prochoazka is a teacher awl publisher of music at 12 East Fouiteenth street.

His first wife. Minna von Pioshoazka. nee Weiss. procured a divorce from him. and it is on her account that the secowt wife, Ulnae.

now seeks a similar judicial severance of the newel knot. Luau() avers that Joseph and Minna have not been living un to the mandates of the law which put them Although only 22 years old. the fair plaintiff in the suit now penclaig has had a variegated and picturesque matrimonial rience. bbe first wedded when she was but 14 years old. That union was annulled because she was under the etatutory age.

She next bestowed her hand and atrections on Edward Kuesler who. she says. misbehaved so badly as to earn a term in the penitentiary, where he died. he deeply felt the disgrace and i mortification ot sharing his name. and consuently got a lige' divorce trom him while be was in jail- Becoming a clerk in 1 Proeboaska's music store.

their hearts vibrated in unison, and the married him. She now avers that he not only starved and abused her.but that be also persisted in maintaining as intimate relations with hii first wife as if they had never been divorced. When she found this out she left his house and went to her mother. The plaintiff contends that Von Prochoazka enjoys ample means, that he is pro. pristor of a musical journal.

the Keynote. and of other lucrative publications; that his income cannot fall short of $130 a week on the avetsgre. while she has no property of any kind except her necessary wearing apparel. Moreover. she never should have married him bad he not made her believe that the decree divorcing him from his first wife hat been in his favor.

which was not the fact. nce quitting Mr. Prochoazka's home his wife has received many kind and endearing letters from him. legging her to return. offerinx money to her and expressing a willingness to support her Another.

Copious este'', ts from the letters are includ.4 in the affidavits submitted-You could have a beautiful home of your own, my good child." he wrote in October. "but know it is not you who op. poses, but yetis folks. and they soon enough wiil see how brainless it is to act against a husband who wants to make good anything.

everything which has hap's( nod." She alleges that her husband not WY abused tried to compass the ruin of her reputation by me3ns of forgsd letters. Her affidavit adds: 'Petitioner believes that even were she to forgive the detendant and even were he sincere in any of his protestations. his first wise. who appears deeply to regret been divorced from him, and who is jealous of petitioner and regards her as an interloper and a li'nfirance would make life intolerable to petitioner." At the time when wife No. 2 (then Miss Bucttlee, or Mrs.

Kneshsr.) was tirst employed by Mr. Prochoazica, wile No. 1, although divorced, occupied apartments in the rear of her ex-husband's store and was employed by him as esookkeeper. Her two children and her sister were there with her. Mr.

Procheazka saya while he slept on a fold ng bed in the front room. He swears that the plaintiff exercised her arts so conspicuously and successfully upon him that his divorced wife went away in disgust. and the vacated apartments were taken by Miss Bucklee. who subsequently cos.n ied lent to go over to Hoboken and marry her on false representations. She dew wed him, he declareti.

in many ways. telling him nothing about her second husband, and for that matter he is persuaded that she has made a business of marrying. He pronounces wickedly and maliciously false charge that he had renewed intimacy with his divorced wife. Ile has never, he says, tieated his wife cruelly, or starved her. He has only recently learned and realized that she -has long bi en a person of notorious and immoral character, and that she has per evered in her own line of conduct since her third marriage." and 'lites Leon guilty of stealing Ss000 worth of music and other articles belonging to her husband." Mr.

Prochoazka adds that his income is only $SO to $100 a month. out of which be has to pay alimony to his first wife. Having been at times unable to meet his obligations towards her. he had to give her a bill of sale for the music store. As to the musical journal punished by him, he declares that it about pays expenses and nothing more.

On Sitter. day the young ladies of Lodi choose Miss Jennie Baxter. a prominent eociety young lady and daughter of the oldest physician In the place, to assist at the exercises. Phillips declined her assistanA, and told several people she did not have a correct moral character. Miss Baxter beard of his words, but kept silent.

At the Christmas tree exercises last night Phillips was the sole conductor; The hall was crowded and the scene was a merry one.

German Editor at Worth Adams Fails to Prov His NORTH ADAM, Dec. 27.The first ease for boycotting that has ever been tried in this part of the State came before Justice Thayer at the District Court in Adams South village today.

Warrants were made out against Adolph Schaarinan, Emil Auerbach and Otto Bauman by Lehman it Brenner, prOintotors of Der Zeitgeist, a German newspaper published in Adams. All the parties in the case are Germans, and the trouble grew out of the course Lehman Brenner took in relation to the banging of the Anarchists at Chicago. The accused Germans are Socialists, and were yen' active at the time and expresied their sympathy with the doomed Chicago Anarch anat. They had a meeting in Hermann Hall on the day of the funeral at Chicagn. and speeches were made and resolutions passel.

Some of the seeeches were reported in Der Zeitgeist, init tbe editors refused to print some of the articles which the Soela.ists brought them for publication. This displeased the Socialists. and they held a meeting in the hall and appointed a coinm tteo, consistineof the dt fendants, to go about among the advertisers of her Zeitgeist and try to induce them to take their advertisements out. The evidence given by the merchants who were visited did not sewn to Justice Thayer to he very conclusive. for no threats were made.

A few merchents testified that they were induced to take out their advertisements because they feared that they might lose trade if they continued to ad' anise. Lawyer Bixby appeared for the Commonwealth and made a strong plea the defendants with conspiracy. Lawyer P. J. Moore defended the Socialists.

Justice Thayer did net consider the evidence strong enough to hold the defenda tits for conspiracy and discharged them. The court room was filled with Germans. some of whom sympathized w.th one side and some with the other. The case has attracted wide attention, for boycotting is something entirely new in this county.

Dec. 27.A delegation of the striking spinners at the Stafford mill waited upon the authorities at the factory this morning and held a long consultation relative to the Present low rate of wages. It was shown that the pay of the spinners had fallen off from $9.60 a week to $9.04. and that the average loss was something like 75 cents or $1 a week. These figures were shown to the" clerk.

who acknowledged that they were correct, hut nobody could explain the cause of the poor pay. Spinners in other mills are earning about $10 a week. and those at the Stafford are skilled operatives who work steadily and seldom change their place of employment. It is claimed that the troub a lay either with the weighng or the sizing of the yarn. The ageut.would give the spinners no satisfaction.

The strikers met egain th's afternoon and voted to remain out until tiley are assured that their wages will equal those paid elsewhere.

A large party was at once formed. which entered the opening of the chff on the Vilsoirlarm. On one of the ma'n avenues numerous evieences exist that the place had been the abode of cave men, as many relies were found in the shave, of pottery and bronze articles.

Shall the Colonization of Lower California by Citizens of the United States be New Steamship Line. Crry OF Maxim (via Galveston. Dec. 27.The question of allowing Americans to colonize lower California continues to be agitated, the opposition taking the ground that the administration of President Diaz. in its cordiality toward Americans, forgets the result of permlttng American colonization in Texas years ago.

General Pocheco, minister of public works. replies in a pamphlet, showing that no danger from American colonization exists. and. in fact. that the Americans are in a large minority in the territory of lower California.

Ile argues that the separation of Texas from Mexico was brought about, not by Amer'. cans who had gone there to settle. but by adventurers who had flocked Into the State from the United States. lie takes a liberal view of American colonization. and intimates that it is too late in the century to show dread of a friendly and neighboring vat on.

Gent ral Pocheco maintains in his pamphlet that no self-governing State. al thouda colonized by foreigners. will prove disloyal to the Mexican union.

The controversy occupies the public mind to the exclusion of other topics. A concession has been granted to a steamship company for alms between New York. New Orieaus and Vera Cruz. the vessels to touch at all Mexican ports on the gulf of Mexico. and to carry the mails.

Dec. 27.A state of semi-mutiny prevails among the soldiers of the York and Lancaster regiments quartered in the Wellington barracks. Bad feeling bas been brewing amos.g certain companies for some time. Two-thirds of the regiment and its officers epared to celebrate Christmas in old English style, handsomely decrated the barracks and issued invitations for a ball. Imirin-r, yesterday there was a great deal of drinking among the men.

in fact most of them were arunk, when orders were issued that no more liquor should be supplied to men of Company G. The men of that compAny had had enough to be very ugly. and 'from that moment trouble was assured. At o'clock the festivities and all preparations for the ball were brought to a sudden stop by the discovery that the barracks had been set on lire. The greatest excitement prevailed for a few minutes.

but the lire was soon located in Company G's apartment, and was quickly extinguished. It was clearly the work of an incendiary. three of the ivildiers being in the place at the time. These were put under guard. the whole battalion called out into the exercising grounds.

formed up in companies, extra sentries and guards put on duty and orders given that no man should leave the barracks that night; that all festivities were at an end, and the ball which was to commence three hours later was indefinitely postponed. The men were terribly enraged at the severity of the orders issued by Colonel Luck, and that commanding officer. clad in full uniform. was hooted and jeered at by his fienzied soid'ers. A mob of them is reported to have surrounded and badly jostled him.

A court of inquiry will sit t6morrow. The large number of civilians who nad invitations to tile ball were of course greatlY disappointed. The same barracks were burned down 20 years ago. MALDEN CITY COUNCIL, Aldermen Pail to Pass the Ward Ordinance Over the Mayor's Veto. MALDEN.
