A section Hand Tern 90 Pieces by a
Passing Train.
fatal accident occurred on Tuesday
night, on the Louisville and Nashville rail
road two miles this side of Elizabelhtown,
Kentucky. A section hand named Michael
Drohan, while laboring under fit of in
toxicatiou, stumbled upon the track, and
was so much under the influence of liquor
that he was unable to rise when the cars
came along. His PROSTATE form was not
observed by the engineer, and he was lite
rally torn to pieces as the train passed over
him. This is only one of number Of
similar accidents which have occurred on
our railroads the past year, IA consequence
Of too liberal Indulgence in intoxicating
liquors.

BREAKING OUT AGAIS.
The burglary Epidemic Takes n Fresh
starts Scientific Robbery Of Berry g.
Co.'S ROnk Qfnre

The burglary Epidemic Takes n Fresh
Co.'S Book Store.
The extensive book and stationery estab-
lishment Of w. T. Berry & Co., % Public
Square, was entered by two burglars some
time during Tuesday night, and five hum
dred dollars worth of gold pens, pocket
cutlery, etc, stolen. Nearly every drawer
in the store was found drawn out yesterday
morning, and a big hole in the thirteen
inch brick wall, just above the basement,
at the rear of the building, showed the
place Of the ingress and egress of the rob-
bers. In the yard there were tracks oftwO
persons, one Of them apparently with feet
as dainty and delicate as a woman's, so small
and neat were the imprnts made. The
privy door had been wrenched from its
hinges, aud was standing against a wall,
on the other side of which rested another
door, thus forming an almost unobstructed
route to the new Porter block on Cedar
street, from whence the burglars probably
operated.
Only the costliest articles were removed,
anu the HOAutIS Ol many u tiit StOlcil pens
were found in the show cases. No less
than forty varieties of knives were Sc
lected, among which were number of the
celebrated Alabama knives, of Sellers
manufacture, Sheffield. The cash drawer
was not molested, nor was it apparent that
any attempt had been made to enter the
vault. A piece of candle was found upon
the floor, along with "sheep-foot used
about the store. The work was evidently
that of experienced hands, as nothing but
the best and most conveniently portable Of
everything was taken.

two rings Of caterpillar eggs upon it, and
the gentleman who had it informed us that
the trees in the garden from which this
specimen WAS taken were full Of eggs. 1t
would be an easy matter TO destroy these
pests by removing and destroying the eggs.
Every fermer aud gardener should at once
examine his fruit trees, and wherever he
finds these rings on the small branches,
destroy them and thus protect his trees.

A Revolution In Corporation Assess
meut and Taxation.

men1 and Taxation.
The new city charter, which is claimed
10 have been made law in the late Cen
eral Assembly, If carried into effect, will
completely revolutionize the system oil
assessment and taxation hsfetofore prac-
ticed in this city. Though the Senate
amendments were concurred in by less than
a quorum of the House on the day OF adj
iournment, makinga question as towheiher
the charter can be considered law, MAJOR
Gunkel, the Assessor, proposes to proceed
with the assessment in few days. Hall
the city has already been assessed under
the old plan, but the new charter will throw
aside all assessments thus far made. We
publish below the first section Of the new
law in regard to assessment and taxation,
as it really embodies the whole matter:
Section l. Be i further enacted, That
all property and estate, real, personal or
mixed, situated or belonging in said city
including town lots, parts of lots and
parcels of ground, with the buildings and
Improvements belonging to the same
watches, iewelry, and gold and silver plate,
or ware; goods, wares and merchandise
chattels and furniture, embracing kitchen
and table ware, clocks and other house
hold property not before described; horses,
live stock, and other animals and poultry;
carriages, carts, drays and other vehicles ;
stocks or bonds not exempt by law moneys
on hand, on deposit or at interest, whether
at home or abroad chooses in action, or
notes, bills or obligations, and all demands
or dues owing or accruing to any cor
poration, firm, or inhabitant of the
city from persons, corporations or firms,
within or without the same all interests
in corporations companies, or copartner-
ships, shares in national banks, in steam
boats or water craft of any description, in |
railway cars and other movable property, |
if not assessed or vested in the corporate |
company or firm name, or under some pre- |
yious description of property, and all |
property or interests not previously de-
scribed in the foregoing subdivisions, and
subject to taxation in said clty-shall be |
assessed and listed for taxation therein, at |
the fair and full worth and market value |
and price of the same. Corporations ether |
than national banks and copartnership |
property, when known or ascertained, and
easily described and defined apart from |
property, should be listed in the |
corporate and firm name; but no error iii |
this particular shall vitiate the assessment,
except when twice listed, the corporate or
taxation shall be proper |
tionately reduced, or that of the individual |
mariner az most convenient, in the discre- |
ton and judgment Of the Assessor.
