Tacoma, October As the result of a murder committed at Merker Junction, ten miles east of here, Sunday night, one man is In the county jail and tbe other Is fleeing through the heavy forest, pursued by trained bloodhounds and 2o0 armed Deputy Sheriffs.

Both men then escaped In tbe for est, but were pursued all night by Sheriff Maunewsana posse. Just before daybreak Deputy Harry Moore and another deputy, who were guarding a croamng at AicAiiiian, saw iwo men coming and called a halt.

A shot was the answerand Moore fell with a bullet In tbe breast, badly wounded. The other deputy poured a double-barrei full of buckshot at the murderers, but they escaped unhurt Monday morning the Sheriff of Kittitas county started with a pack of trained bloodhounds. In the afternoon one of the men, a youth not more than 20 years old, was run down and captured at South Prairie. He was hurried to Tacoma to tavoid lynching at the bands of tbe Infuriated rangers, who are demanding speedy vengeance. The other man has not yet been caught but tbe bloodhounds are pressing him close, and it Is only a question of a short time.

Strong efforts were made yesterday to induce the survey committee of the Councils to strike the Boulevard from thcity plan, bat despite the appeals of several committeemen and of many citizens it was decided that though the scheme is dead the great avenue shall remain on the city's records for a while longer. The matter came np in the form of a hill repealing the ordinances placing the proposed fraud Boulevard from the City Hall to the Park on the city plan. There was a large attendance of committeemen, and the office of the Clerks of the Councils was crowded with prominent citizens anxious to give reasons why tbe bill should be sneedily disposed of with a favorable report. There was a disposition to review the long-contested Boulevard matter aDd to go over tbo arguments which during three years have frequently been presented for and against the scheme, but Chairman Seeds and Chairman Pro Tern. Cleaver managed to keep the speakers to the question under discussion.

Tbe law providing that while a street is on the city plan all improvements to property along the line made by the owner goMor nothing when the city takes possession was the nriucipal weapon used by the friends of th bill. William Findlay Brown moved that the bill he reported favorably and immediately the discussion was opened. Hunn. in behalf of property-owners along the line, asked that they be allowed to enjoy full possession ot their properties. As the matter now stands he declared a great injustice is being done to them.

There is no prospect ot a boulevard being built within a reasonable time and yet the properties are tied up so that owners can neither improve thera nor dispose of them profitably. Dr. James E. (riirretson. dean of the Med-ico-Cbirurgical College and chairman of the anti-boulevard committee, echoed this sentiment and illustrated his point by saying: I have bad people owning property along this line ask mc if tliey might be allowed to paper or paint their houses.

This shows in whnt condition tbe matter now stands. We should bo allowed to have full possession of our homes." WANTS A DECENT BURIAL. Councilman Brown presented the case briefly, saying Since the Boulevard scheme is dead because of the Mayor's veto it is as little as one can do to give it a decent burial. We should act and act promptly, for keeping the avenue on the city plan is doing a great deal of harm, wliilo striking it off can do nono, even to the scheme itself, if it should ever he revived. The Survey Bureau has done everything possible, and if these plans nro ever wanted again they can bo revived with very little legislation." He added that in all probability, if a Boulevard ever is built, it will not go along the same line, for the Reading subway would rcssitate some changes in the plans.

George H. Earle, Joel J. Baily. Rudolph Blank-enburg, iiev.W, J. Nichols and several others spoke along the same line.

Chairman Seeds made a vigorous protest against reporting the bill favorably, for he thought that the building of a Boulevard is not far distant. He favored appointing a commission of three real estate experts to canvass the route of the proposed Boulevard and make an intelligent report to Councils. Id their report Mr. Seeds said, they should cover tbe price for which it could bo purchased, what the cost would be for laying it out and to build and equip it. In conclusion, he moved that turther consideration be temporarily postponed.

His motion was boc-onded bv Mr. Byran, and after a lengthy dis cussion the motion was adopted by a vote of 12 to 6. No More Filtration Discussion. Members of the water committee of the Councils decided yesterday to drop for tbe present the consideration of plans for filtering the city's water supply. Keveral Mils relating to the subject were presented, but they were all referred to the chairman to be called up at some time In the fardistant future.

Mr rowel I explained that all that Is needed is for tbe finance committee to find the money, any way. There tire plenty of plans for a filtering plant on band now. In Its Investigation of the future water supply question the committee has arranged to visit all of the city's pumping stations and reservoirs In a 6bort time. HER CHILDREN KIDNAPPED. Discord in Dr.

She screamed, but before tbe occupants of the house were aroused the children were seized and taken to carriages In wait-Jng.

special Telegram to Tbe Timks. Harrtsburg, October 2. During the early part of this year fears were entertained by the fiscal authorities of Pennsylvania that the revenues would be materially diminished on account of the depression id business, hut the receipts from taxes of various kinds for the past two mouths ended on tbe last of September, indicate that they will not vary much from those paid into tbe State Treasury for tbe. corresponding months of the previous year, For the year ended November 30, 1893, the receipts exceeded those of any previous twelve months, and with only two months to close the present fiscal year, they aggregate $11,785,000 in round numbers, or within $301,000 of the amount credited to the ten months of December, January, February. March, April, May, June, July.

August and September previous. Iu October and Novera-dcr of last year the revenues collected aggregated only $1,106. 723.36, or about the avcraga monthly amount for the entire year. TAXES ON CORPORATIONS. As several large corporations bave not completed their payments into the State Treasury for the past year the revenues may exceed those of the preceding year.

The amount paid into the Treasury by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as a tax on gross receipts illustrates that the revenues from this subject of taxation will be less than formerly. For the year ended November 30. 1893, this corporation pnid on its gross receipts $156,377.40, while this year it contributed to the Treasury only of a similar tax. But these losses will he made up by increased receipts from other items. But for the fact that a large number of appeals from tbe settlement of taxes against corporations have been pending in the courts, the revenues the present year would probably reach an unprecedentedly high figure.

CHURCH AND TROLLEY AT WAR. Tracks Torn by Order of the Church Council at Barren Hill. Norristown, October 2. Another trolley war is on as a variation and more tracks bave been torn up. This lime it is a church that stands on its dignity.

By direction of tht church council of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, at Barren Hill, a gang of laborers tore up nearly two hundred yards of track mid by the Manayunfe and Box borough Incline Railway Company. it is a part of tbe company's scheme to extend its line up the Ridge pike to St. Peter's Church, and, passing over tbe road in front of the church, connect at the tierraantown pike with the ChoNtnut Hill and Rorrlstown line now In course of construction. The road Is only thirty feet wide.

On the east side of the road Is a public kcdooI, the land surrounding which is owned by the church. Tbe road, which was opened before the school wan built, was surveyed forty feet tn width, but Die church was only reimbursed for the thirty feet osed and was unwilling that the narrow thoroughfare should become a roadway for a trolley line.
