(Special to The Eagle.) Long Island City, June 22-In order to preserve the present width of roadway on the viaduct above the tracks of the Long Island Railroad east of Jackson avenue, with the elevated line above, it was decided yesterday by the engineers of the Public Service Commission, to place the elevated road pillars on the outer edges of the viaduct instead of the edges of the roadway. The footpaths are included in the space between the pillars on each side. This change in the plans necessitates the use of longer girders between the pillars, and these have already been ordered by the Public Service Commission. The change in the plans has also caused a little delay, which, however, the commissioners believe is warranted by the importance of the change. The placing of the pillars on the outer instead of the inner edges of the footpaths, also, will allow, in the future, for the widening of the roadway--with owing of the paths--if found necessary." IMPALED ON MEAT HOOK.

Flushing, L. June 22-William Callahan, 18 years old, was impaled by the right hand on a meat hook at the Flushing public market yesterday.

TAX LAW DECISION INTERESTS NASSAU Westchester Decision Encourages Opponents of the McWhinney Tax Measure.

(Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. June 22-The decision of the Court of Appeals declaring that the Westchester Tax Bill was unconstitutional was received with great interest in Nassau County. While the McWhinney Tax bill differs considerably from the Westchester bill, the same principles are involved, and it was freely predicted throughout Nassau County last night that Charles F. Lewis, who was recently appointed county tax receiver by County Judge James P. Niemann, County Clerk Thomas S.

Cheshire and County Controller Charles L. Phipps, will never assume the duties of the office. The fight on the Westchester bill was made because its enforcement was claimed to be a violation of the home rule provision of the State Constitution, in that it violated Section 2 of Article 10 of the State Constitution, which guarantees home rule to incorporated villages. When Charles F. Lewis was appointed county tax receiver at a salary of $3,500 per annum, it was announced that legal action was to be taken to test the constitutionality of the bill as violating the independence of the villages in Nassau County.

Former Lieutenant Governor M. Linn Bruce has been retained, and he announces that he intends to test the legality of the McWhinney bill at once. In Westchester County the bill provides that the towns shall be the unit of collection, while the Nassau County bill goes a step further and abolishes town lines and makes the county the unit of collection. It was claimed by the opponents of the McWhinney bill yesterday, that if the Court of Appeals cided that the Westchester bill was illegal where it provided for town collections, the law will surely apply to Nassau County, where not only the villages and school district collectors are legislated out of office, but the town officers as well. WANTS MARRIAGE ANNULED.

Hawkins Says Sister Was Mentally Weak When She Wed. Charging that Arthur Macdonald took advantage of the mental condition of his aged and wealthy sister, Mrs. Lancie Blum Macdonald, and married her, last January, two weeks after her first husband, Samuel H. Blum, of Blum Koch, hat manufacturers, had died, Henry L. Hawkins of Manhasset, L.

yesterday began a suit for the annulment of the marriage, before Justice Blanchard, in the Supreme Court, Manhattan. Mr. Hawkins alleged that the wedding took place at Bayonne, N. less than twenty-four hours after the marriage license had been obtained, making the marriage illegal under New Jersey law. He also alleged that Mrs.

Macdonald was "cajoled, persuaded and coerced," by Macdonald, while her mental condition was not normal. Testimony was taken from witnesses yesterday who said Mrs. Macdonald's mental condition was not normal. The case was adjourned for a further hearing today. GLEN COVE GRADUATION.
