Chesapeake and Ohio Engine House Burned
-Four or Five Locomotives Lost-Fire En-
CINE Unavailable.
ESPECIAL TO THE STATE JoURSAL1
Staunton, "a, July 3l.-About two
o'clock this morning fire was discovered in
the engine house of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad company, and a general alarm
OF fire was given.
The members Of the fire department
turned out hastily, and made great efforts
to subdue the flames, but being deprived
of the use of the fire-engine by the action
of the City Council, they proved unavail-
ing. The engine-house, which was wholly
of wood, was speedily consumed.
Four or five new locomotive engines,
which it was impossible to remove from
the burning building, were destroyed. 1t
is supposed that the loss will reach $2O,-
600. The surrounding buildings were but
very slightly damaged.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT A sad
accident occurred just over the river last
night, about half-past nine o'clock, on the
Richmond and Danvile railroad, by which
Bob Trice, an aged and worthy colored
man, long an employee of the company,
and experienced in the business committed
to him, was instantly killed. The switch
locomotive was engaged in moving num-
Der of loaded freight cars to this side of the
river to make up a train, the freight cars
being in front coming this way. Just be-
fore the foremost car reached the river it
struck COW that was on the track, killing
her, but resulting, unhappily, in throwing
the foremost car off the track, and the one
next to it partially off. Bob Trice was on
the foremost car with signal lantern, and
he was hurled to the earth by the collision
and killed. This acc dent also resulted in
so obstructing the road at the point where
it occurred that the $3.50 P. M. passenger
train could not GENE over to this side, hav-
ing to stop in Manchester. Most of the
passengers, however, walked over. Trice
was raised in Louisa county, and was for
some time brakesman on the Chesa peake
and Ohio railroad. .r

L: Pridemore, of Lee, in place of Mr.. Cum
mings. The action OF the resident members

ly, the action of the resident committee was
approved by vote of nine to eight.

HENRY WILSON.
Senator Wilson left tonight for India ma
, 1872-04-17

only upon the consideration that the plan
ter has to pay an export duty upon his
crop, which must naturally enhance his
taxation, can it be accounted for that this
dlsproportiOn In the assessing of the taxes
has been allowed to exist.
In all fairness then, let the export dutv
be brought into the calculation, to prove
whether the planters pay an equal proper
ton OF the taxes assessed upon property
holders or not.
Such an estate as above mentioned,
ought to average $50 hogsheadS of sugar,
OF 100 ID. each, which would be equal
to 10000 10. at Al cents, would be worth
SlO,l25, and 5 p. ct. Of this amount would
be equal to $500. 25. Now let Nj. ANY
body calculate, and see whether the amount
OF export duty, added to the direct fax on
the estate, Will amount to u per cent of
the united value Of the property and the
crop aud 1t 1t should be found to be SO,
then may the planter boast that he is taxed
IN a proportion equal to the town-foIks:
but IN no case viii it be found that this
IS so, except IN such solitary years like the
last, when the crop exceeded the expec-
tatIons OF all parties, beyond measure.
When, however, it is considered that a
large portion of the crop is sold on the
spot, and that this circumstance exempts
the planter from payment Of shat portion
OF the export dues, then the matter be-
comes very questionable, whether in the
most prosperous years, his AMOUNT of tax
alton ever amounts to u per cent on the
value OF his property, as it always is the
