The case of the Tax-Payers Ag aims
the County Com ts.BOners.
By reference to the decisions of the
Supreme Court, the case given else
were. it will be seen in one instance j.
stated us W. A. French ct al. VS.. the
Commissioners of New Hanover, and in
the other as John McRae VS.. the Com~
missioners of New Hanover. In the
first, the Judgment of the Superior
Court is affirmed by the Supreme
Court. In the second the Judgment is
reversed. Since the two cases as re-
ported are one and the same, ali ex~
planation may assist III the understand
ing OF the apparent contradiction.
It will be remembered that the re-
straining order was granted by Judge
Seymour, a bond in the sum of five
thousand dollars being filed by the
plaintiffs as indemnity. The defend
ants then made a motion to dissolve
the Injunction, which motion was
heard by Judge McKoy. and after ar
eument the motion Was allowed
and the judgment of the court was
that the injunction be dissolved. From
this Judgment the plaintiffs appealed
The appeal being granted, the case
was made up and taken to the Supreme
Court, standing on the docket as W.
A. French ct a. VS.. the Commission
ers of New Hanover. After the appeal
was taken, the defendants moved that
the irdemnifying bond of the plaintiffs
be increased ten thousand dollars.
making the amount of the bond in all,
fifteen thousand dollars. This motion
WAS heard by Judge Henry and was
likewise allowed. From this judg
ment the plaintiffs again Appeared.
The Supreme Court reversed this judg>
ment, but affirmed the other. In
other words, they decided that after
the case had been taken to the Supreme
Court, the Superior Court had no
right to increase the bond, nor to hear
any other motion in the case SO long
as it remained in the higher court. SO
that the result is, the bond was not in
creased and the injunction was dis
solved.
The remaining taxes will, no doubt,
be now collected.
The Court has, however, decided in
another case at the present term, fro "a
the county of Pasqnotnnk, that board
of county commissioners have no
power to levy tax in excess of 66S
cents on the 800 value Of property, for
State and county purposes, that being
the constitutional limitation.
In the case from New Hanover the
defendants RENTED the taxes to the
limitation, before Judge McKoy would
dissolve the Injunction.

Action Against Ta4Payers' Bonds

nlShs
1t was rumored upon the streets oa
yesterday that suit had been insiitu
Nd by the County Commissioners
against the bondsEaen of the recent
county Injunction case. We traced tbs
rumor up and find that an action TO
damages arising out of the injunction
recently dissolved by the Supreme
Court was not but will be instituted
just as soon as a certified copy of the
Supreme Court decision in the case
eau be bad. So says one OF the COM
missioners' attorneys who appeared In
the Injunction case. Tine amount OF
damages to be sued for has not been
ascertained, nor will it be positively
known until action is instituted against
the bondsmen.

Killed by Ambition.

A terrible comment on the process of
brain examining which obtains in our
public schools, is the melancholy death
of a New York schoOl-boy. The boy, it
would appear, was an ardent, ambitious
temperament, highly sensitive, and up
to a certain critical point in his school
boy life, studious to the extent of dis
tancing all class competitors of his own
age. Unfortunately, as the result
showed, these qualities attracted the at
tention of his teacher and his parents,
who, DESTROYS of creating prodigy, had
the lad promoted to higher class, with
the members of which it was morally
impossible for him to cope. The natural
result followed. The studious boy lost
his ambition with the full knowledge
that he could not crafty it, and gradu-
ally found his way to the end of his
class. He became so negligent that his
teacher, in the belief that he had de-
generated through simple carelessness,
wrote up his name in great letters on a
blackboard, so that all corners should
read it. The rest is shortly told. The
boy told his schOOlmates that he would
commit suicide, and he kept his word,
though they thought it was school-boy
bravado. He deliberately hung himself
with bOOk-strap, and the verdict of the
cOrOner's jury was simply ''suicide by
hanging" There is no doubt that the
boys mind was unhinged by over, study,
and he became a sacrifice to "the ambi-
ton that kills" Studi0usness is an ex-
ceIlent thing, in the scholar, but, like
all good qualities, may be carried too far.

The Agricultural Building

stands north of the horticultural building,
Being separated from It by a romantic
ravine, and has a commanding view of
the Schuylkill river and the northwestern
suburbs of Philadelphia beyond. This
building illustrates a novel combination
of materials, mainly wood and glass, and
consists of a long nave crossed by three
transepts, each being composed of truss
arches of Gothic form. The nave is eight
hundred and twenty feet long by one
hundred and twenty-five feet in width,
with 3 height of seventv-fiye feet from
the floor to the point of the arch, the CEN
trial transept one hundred feet wide and
saventy-five feet high, and the two end
transepts eighty feet wide and seventy
feet high. Its interior appearance re-
sembles that of great cathedral, and in
looking from transept to transept, the
vista Is extremely imposing. A portion
of this building is supplied with steam
power for the use of agricultural machin-
cry. The four courts incI0sed by the
nave and tFansepts, and also the four
spaces at the corners of the building,
having the nave and end transepts for
two of their sides, are rooted. and form
valuable space for exhibits. The ground
plan of the building Is parallelogram Eve
