Crombje's skull was fractured, his arm broken and he was severely Injured in- ternally. His chances of living are un- certain. Leonard, too, was kicked and beaten | before the reserves from the East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street sta- ‘tion appeared and quelled the disturd- ‘ance. He was carried to the hospital, Dut after his wounds were dressed he ‘was able to go to his home. Robert Robillard, of No. 228 East One “Hundred and Twenty-third street, was arrested. Hopper offered bail for him, but it was refused. In Harlem Police Court to-day Robil- Nard, who was acoused of disorderly conduct, was discharged by Magistrate Zeller. Richard Fayles was accused ot having participated in the assault on Crombie and was paroled until Friday next. O'Connell Banner Attacked. ‘The Hopper crowd left a saloon at 11 o'clock, and one man started to climb up a pole to tear down an O'Connell banner. ‘There are many of O'Connell's support- rs in the neighborhood and men were trying to stop them when Policeman Leonard arrived. Leonard seized Robil- lard, who had started up a pole. The Hopper crowd went to the rescue. The men knocked down Leonard \and beat and kicked him until, drawing club and revolver, he fought his way to his feet, eovered with blood from cuts. He fired into the air several times jn an attempt to frighten the crowd, but they kept at dim. Aiding the Policeman. Cromble heard the shots and ran from his house.

In addition to this indebtedness on account of tax arrears, The World has the auxhority of one of the head ex- perts now engaged on this task for stating that the examination, though far from ‘complete, has already gone far enough to show that the street railway corporations of New York City owe for taxes on real estate at least $8,000,000, and in all probability in expess of $8,000,000. ‘They also owe for taxes on “personal property,” due before the passage of the Gpecial Franchise Tax art, upward of $2,000,000, Total In $19,000,000. ‘This makes a grand total of tax In- debtedness to the city from tho rall- way corporations of approximately 619,- 000,000 indicated at the present stage of the expert accountants’ examination. Of the grand total of $19,000,000 ar- Tears, $12,183,805.34 1s pogitively estab- shed as the amount due on the lines indicated; the balance represents the experts’ careful and conservative esti- mate, based upon data not yet complete enough to fix an exact amount, but etili complete enough to indicate a total of at least $7,000,000 due on real estate and personalty. ‘The total tax indebtedness against the individual street railway companies, under various heads, that has been fully computed by the 2xpr-ts, follows: Metropolitan Street Rallsoad Cumyany, $6,725,544.26; Manhattan Rallway Com- pany, $3,540,382.06; New Vork and Queens County Rallway, $70,988..5; Hrooklyn Rapid Transit system, $1,708,894.15; Coney Island and Brooklyn Hallway, #138,- 966.60; Van Brunt and Erie Basia Kail- way, 9,054.83. No payments have besn made onder the Special Franchise Tax aot, because the corporations still bupe to secure a Gecision in thelr favor in the Supreme Court of the United States, where tho matter is now pending, The law has been affirmed by the Coart of Appeals of New York State. Tna .otal amount affected by the Franchise Tax act is $9, 062;782.24. The First Examination. je is the exam! undertaken to establish aeiiily amount due from these corporations to ‘the olty from unpald taxes from alt wouroes. It was thought that the ex- emination could be completed within & week from the time it was begun, but @o many complications were found in the accounts of the bureaus charged with reconiing the amounts due from various sources, and so distributed wes ‘the authority for the oolieotidon of these immense sums, that what was thought to be a six days’ job turned out to be @ task of more than thirty days before even a fair estimate could be made of the amount due. ‘There 1s no intelligent record on any of the books in the city departments of the amounts due for taxes from the companies which use and ocoupy the streets of New York. These records are scattered about in various bureaus, and @re so separated in the several depart- ments that it was found to be almost impossible to ascertain the exact amounts which the corporations have from year to year failed to pay. In some Instances those commissioned to get at the Agures kept in the dif- ferent bureaus, inatead of having the co-opération of the employees in those Dureaus, when the nature of their mis- sion was learned were met with almost open ‘opposition.
