The Clerk of the Peace at OEford,
England, has just placed marble tablet
at the outer entrance of the County
Hall OF that city, to commemorate a sad
event which occurred three hundred
years ago. The inscription on the
tablet is as follows: Near this spot
the ancient County Hall. unhappily
famous in history az the scene in July,
1915. of the Black Assize, when a
malignant disease. known as the gaol
fever, caused the death within forty
days of the Lord Chief Baron Sir
Robert BID. the High Sheriff Sir
Robert Doyley OF Msnton), and about
three hundred more. The molady
from the steuch of the prisoners deyel-
oped itself during the trial of one,
Robert Jenkes, saucy, foul-mouthed
bookseller, for scapdalous words uttered
against the Q1een.' This tablet
was placed here in 1873, exactly
three buudred years after the event
which it records"

The disseusions in Louisiana have
had a most deplorable eAeot upon
New Orleans. The State valuation Of
property has been forced Up. In the
ci,v the assessment is nearly As high.
The New Orleans Times, commenting
upon this bal state Of facts, says: ::
"Thc valuation is about thirty five
millions more than the property would
sell for under the hammer, aUG conse-
quen,ly the people Of the city and
parish of Orleans lay taxes on vast
amount Of property That does not exist
save on the books OF the Assessor. "
The State tax of Louisiana is 81 47

who las Just returned home from a
visit to the stricken CITY, gives an
equally gloomy description Of It's aP-
pearauce aud business depression lie
says:

CRn8DED WITH IN5nGRANTs. Dis
patches from Sacramento say that the
city is crowded with immigrants. The
hotels are full, and the crowd still
pours in. 1t is apparent that some
steps must be taken 10 provide these
newcomers with temporary shelter
But very few can afford for any pro-
longed period the charges Of even sec
ond and third class hotels The rich
ones, ii there are any such, can look
out for themselves. They can go from
one portion of the State TO another,
and finally choose ior their future home
the locality which suits them best, all
things considered. But motives Of
policy aS vel as instincts of good
feeling require us TO make provision
by which the little money the poorer
class Of immigrants bring should be
spared as much as possible. These
people come at our repeated invita-
tion, and ii is our duty to make good
orr assurances that they could better
their condition by emigrating to this
State. There is no danger that too
many will come, but there is DANGER
that IN the confusion of first arrivals

disposed, can do much, but some kind

count of bloody af'ray;
From Elder Todd, just from Jack
son county, we gather the following
particulars Of 4 terrible tragedy ell
acted near jacksonville, Sunday, April
18th:
It appears that . Mr.. Doty and
widow lady by the name Of johnson
live neigbborS, and aFe not on the
best Of terms, ~ Mrs. Johnson aud
Mrs. Duty have had serious troubles
Of late. The road running through
Doty's place has been changed lately,
and parties have been in the habit OF
going through on the old road, as 1t Is
much nearer than the new.
Mrs. Johnson has two sons, aged
about twenty-five and fifteen. Last
SUNDAY Mrs. Johnson was returning
home, and started through on the Old
road in Doty'5 field. Do;y met her
and requested her 10 60 back. She
replied tha, if he would let her 90 on
then, she would never attempt to 90
through again. lie forbade her, and
attempted to turn her back. She per-
sisted in going on, and he finally
struck her over the head with club
with such force a. to crack her skull.
and Law her senSeleSs at his feet. Her
sons, seeing the contest with their
mother, came running across the field
to her assistance. The woman was
struggling TO get on her feet, rising
partly up, but falling down again
Duty, seeing the boys coming, stepped
behind a tree, and, when they came
opposite, demanded where they were
going. They replied, to assist their
mother, Doty told them to let her
alone and she would be all right di-
rectly. The woman was still strug-
/ Cling TO regain her feet, and the boys
again started to their mothers assist
ance, when Doly stepped from behind
the tree, and, with a double barrel
shotgun, shot the older brother in the
right side, tearing him almost to
pieces. The brother shot, then cried
out to the younger one to shoot Doty,
lie fired, but missed his mark. Doty
drew a revolver and fired at the boy,
/ hitting him in the arm. The boy
turned and aed. DOty followed him
up, firing as he ran, and hitting him
/ twice more, in the leg and back.
/ The parties were still alive when
our informant left, bat physicians say
it is an impossibility for the boys to
recover and a doubtful case with the
mother. Doty is ROW in jail. He
has been considered a good, peacable
citizen, heretofore, and a member of
the L. B. Church.

PRoGREss IN RUSsIA-The Emperor
of Russia has lately been considering
how he may improve the condition of
the working classes IN his dominious,
To better carry out the object be
summoned together representative
assembly which has been holding its
sessions at ST Petersburg. This body
Is composed of eight officials of the
central government, eleven presidents
Of territorial boards, eight men from
the untitled classes, 50 .!aal;ng mana
facturers AMI merchants, and the chief
civil officers of Moscow and ST. Peters
burg. The class most interested in
the assembly-the working people
and who are presumed to be the most
capable Of suggesting measures Of q
beneficial character, are without a
voice IN It's deliberations. However,
under an absolute government, where
the nobility themselves give advice
only when asked for it, this was hard
ly 10 be expected. Labor in Russia
has no dignity such as is accorded it
under republics. Notwithstanding,
the Emperor's design Is one worthy Of
approval, and the assembly may effect
great good in the line Of its duties.
1t will consider the relations of EN-
ployers and employees, the formation,
dissolution and breach of contracts
between the two classes, childlabor,
the hours Of labor, the education of
children Of artisans, and sanitary im-
proyements in the food and homes of
working people Of Russia. 1t Is es,i-
mated That there are sixteen millions
OF free-born worknen in Russia, to
whom whatever benefits are devised
viii apply.

MASSACHUSETTS, LyQJoR BILI.-The Les-
islature now in session in Massachusetts,, has
grapPlcd earnestly with the question Of the
l;quor traffic. BY general consent, the idea
of prohibiting the sale Of liquor has been
banished from their deliberations. 1t is an
accepted principle that the average man viii

TIE CENTENNIAL. The State Of
Pennsylvania has appropriated a nj!
lion of dollars to the centennial, the
city of Philadelphia has given a mil
lion and half, and it is probable that
q further sum of one million dollars
will, within a few weeks, be devoted
to the same object. This amounts TO
three and 4 half millions from one
State alone. These appropriations do
not include the private subscriptions
from individuals in Pennsylvania,
which will probably amount to an
other million. In addition to the
above, very many Of the Atlantic
States have made large appropriations
in order to ensure a proper rcpresen-
tation of their respective industries ut
the centennial exhibition.

MRs. TuToy will not he witness
in the Beecher trial, unless the counsel
on both sides should consent TO call
her. The Legislature has refused to
pass bill giving wives the opportun-
ity of testifying in eases i'll which
either husband or wife is 4 party.
This was the bill introduced to meet
the case of Mrs. Tilton. We epresume
some sound legal principle controlled
the action of the Assembly. At the
same time we cannot but feel that a
law which permits Mr., Tilton, the
husband, to spend weeks on the stand
assailing the honor and virtue of his
wife, and which prevents the wife
from vindicating her womanhood, is a
violation of the true spirit of the law.
In this case all the parties i'll interest
should be heard, and the jury left 10
determine the credibility Of the wit
nesses.
