buildings were erected for four exposi
tions. These four have been held, and the
uses for which the property was intended

Give Up Their Offices.

morrow a highly interest!!**, perhaps a *

spectively to the offices of county collec
tor. county assessor and c ounty treasurer
on O- t. 1, i*M. will present themselves at
these ofTh-es. prepared to take charge of
them under c ommissions duly signed by ;
the secretary of state. Mr Muller will en
counter no opposition for Tim Murphy, the
incumbent treasurer, had an anti-election
understanding with Mr. Muller, whereby
neither was to resist the other's entry into
the office after having been duly declared
elected by th** proper authority. But Col
lector Johnson and Assessor Verelst will
decline to give up their offices under the
plea that there was no election on Oct.
and that they must remain in charge of
the offices until their successors shall
have been elected and duly qualified. This
w ill compel Messrs. Geiger and Turner to
ask the supreme court for a writ of quo
warranto, to which the incumbents will
object through their counsel. The argu
ments, counter pleas, etc., may consume |
six months' time, or an opinion may be
decided that there was no election. Then
Mr. Muller, under the terms of their agree- I
men’, will have to surrender his new office
back to Mr. Murphy. Much interest cer.- i
ters about the final outcome of the case,
and it is said that a big crowd will be
present at the court house to-morrow to
witness the formal refusal of the officers
to give up their places.

GOULD LEFT $80,943,580 .
The Appraiser of the Estate Files His
Report.
New York, Jan. 7.—Lawyer David Mc-
Clure. who. In March, 1893, was appointed
appraiser by the surogate to fix the value
of the estate of the late Jay Gould at
the time of his death, with a view to de
termining the amount of tax that should
be Imposed upon the personal property,
has made his report, by which he finds
the value of the personal estate of the
late millionaire to be 550.93f.550.79, less the
amount of his debts, $6,553,529.71, and less
legacies, annuities, etc., to his brother,
sister, grandson, of $1,136,313; making the
amount of tne residuary estate to be
$73,224,547.08.
Mr. M.-Clure says in his report that it
was found at the outset of the hearings
that they would be protracted, and it
w as then determined by the executors of
the estate to deposit with the controller
an amount, which, in their judgment,
would meet the taxes to be paid upon the
property. The executors, therefore, paid
$600,000 to the controller, upon the as
sumption that the personal estate would
not exceed $60,000,000. Each of the six
children of Mr. Gould is entitled to a life
estate, in trust, in one-sixth of the resi
duary estate, with the remainder to their
children. Under a recent decision of the
court of appeals, it is held that these re
mainders are not liable to taxation,
whereas, formerly they were. This wlli
reduce the tax considerably. So that It Is
expected that the executors will be en
titled to recover from the $600,000, which
they paid to the state, a small sum in their
favor.
The report will be submitted to the sur
rogate for consideration.
NEWS: TUESDAY, J
DEBS CHANCES BAD.
The Motion to Quash the Indictments
Not Apt to Be Granted.
Chicago, Jan. 7.-Judp* Morris this morn
ing announced that he would render his
decision in the proceedings touching the
indictments for oonspivmc y agains' Eugene
V. Debs and others to-morrow afternoon
at 1 o’clock. He indicated by his words
that he would deny the motion to
and told the counsel to be ready to go
to trial. Several motions for separate
trials were made and all denied. The
court advises the government to weed out
all small offenders and those again t
whom there would be no chance of secur
ing conviction.
Attorney Darrow, for the defendants,
asked for a month's continuance. This
was also taken under advisement
To-morrow morning Mr. Debs and the
other officers and directors of the Ameri
can Railway Union, with the exception of
Mr. Me Yean, will go to jail an-i a writ of
habeas corpus will be applied for before
Judge Woods. If he denies the writ the
cas*- will beat once taken to the supreme
court. In the latter case the .conspiracy
trial is certain to be postponed.
St. Paul, Minn.. Jan. 7.—W. W. Erwin,
one of the attorneys in the Debs case,
last night expressed to Chicago a writ
of habeas corpus to be used for Eugene V.
Debs and his associates. Mr. Edwin said
Mr. Debs and th** other American Railway
Union men ordered imprisoned would ap
pear in court in Chicago to-morrow morn
ing. The petition for a writ of habeas
corpus cannot be signed by him until in
custody. One of the attorneys from f'lii
cago will leave for Washington to-morrow
evening and Is expected to arrive there
Wednesday evening. Thursday apple t
tion will be made to the suprem * court of
the United States for a writ. In case it
is granted a telegram may be sent to Chi
cago, instructing the court there to admit
Mr. Debs and his associates to bail.
After the adjournment of the court of
appeals Judge Woods, sitting as a circuit
judge, informed the attorneys for the
defendants and the government that he
would overrule the application for a writ
of habeas corpus, as he could not review
his own decision, and would allow* the
appeal direct to the supreme hem-h.
Judge Woods added that he war not
disposed to enforce the imprisonment of
the defendants, but would remand them
to the custody of the marshal when the
stay of execution expired to-morrow, and
that officer would undoubtedly use his
own discretion.

ing witness. One day last July Brunson
found Bowden in a Bay street cafe and
