The AppraiSement Of the Long Pro-
perty..Card From One Of tho Ap.
praiserS.

praiSerS.
WHEELING, ". VA, Oct /, 1879.
To tho Editors OF the IntellIgencer.
Your assumed knowledge of the judg.
ment OF the persons appointed by the
Court TO sppraise the property Of Daniel
Long for the extension OF Bolton street,
consisting Of Mr., John Handlan, Captain
John Mcclure, W. e. Miller, James F:
Barnes and myself, needs at least this no.
tice from me.
Your proposition that the price fixed
by the appraisers. was rotofiously more
than the property was worth Is not true,
unless the party writing the article is the
nobody that pretends to deny It.
The appraisers should, l think, have the
credit at least Of being disinterested, as
among their number was some OF the
largest real estate tax payers in the city,
while all of them contribute q fair share
to the City Collector, thereby contributing
to the VIGOROUSLY high price, a. you haze
il, fixed BY themselves.
would state for your Information that
the twenty.iour hundred dollars was less
than the price fixed by tho appraisers in
their average, the members from the up.
per part Of the city placing their valuation
higher than the Others, But as Mr.. Long
had agreed 10 take twenty.tour hundred
dollars, which was less than the average,
the appraisers fixed upon that sum. The
Court at least must have thought that the
appraisers were competent men and would
discharge their duty honestly, II nobody
did. Otherwise they would not have been
appointed. :.
For your further information Iwould
say that Mr.. Long could have, sold his
property for the same sum on The same
day, II the city would agree to let 1t alone,
Yours, &c, JESSE 8. WHEAT.

DEATH OF PRESCOTT sMrTn.-Wn.
LIAM PRESCOTT 6M1TH, Of Baltimore,
best known to tho country as Master Of
Transportation for the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, died at his home in that city a
few minutes before eight o'clock last
evening, Of hemmorhage from the bow
eIs. MIR. sMETH was for many years Mas.
ter Of Transportation for the B. s. O..
Company, and in that position during the
war he rendered valuable service not only
to the Company but to the Government.
About the close Of the war he resigned
disposition to accept place in the revc.
nue. service, Collector, we believe, OF one
OF the Baltimore districts, Two or three
years later he gave this up to take the
management OF the through line between
New York and Washington City, as
something better adapted to his inclina.
tions and capacity. On the first Of last
month he resumed his old place at the
head OF the transportation department ot
the B. & o. Company, to the great advan.
tage OF the company and doubtless with
that comGortables one always feels in
coming back to place and to work he
Is accustomed and equal to.
While Mr. SMITH, as we have said, was
known chiefly as railroad man, hewas
great deal more than the phrase would
imply. He was man Of very great abll.
tiles in other directions. He was not only
thorough master of his business, able to
grasp alike the widest ramifcations and
the minutest details, but he was wise
counsellor in all matters requiring exten.
siyeknowledge and sound judgment. He
was, besides, gentleman Of elegant cul.
ture, of fine taste in literature and art, and
an excellent impromptu speaker. Social.
ly, he was genial, winning and accom-.
pIishedi and was thus possessed in high
degree OF the advantages and personal
qualities that make men popular and sue.
cesstul and which make life enjoyable and
the world q pleasant place for them. Mr..
SAITH was still in the prime of life, and
in the ordinary course had many happy
and useful years before him.
