that In his possession. listed only $1,000 In
1874, reply IL made that Birchard's return
included notes, credits and book acco uuts,
and that Gov. Hayes made no return of such
matters because all the credits and notes

upon which tax IL paid by the bank. Indeed.

Gov. Hayes never returned one worth $500.
his three watches were returned as keep

twenty years. Hayes never had a piano

He ID said TO have returned four carriages at

one and $3.50 Tor another. In reply, he says
the carriage referred TO was bought year
after the false return, and was then properly
listed. As the return of 1876 shows, two OF
these carriages were a buggy and q wagon,
one OF which shortly sold for so, and one
would not sell at all, but both were listed at
s15; The other was a second hand phaton,
which cost 500. As to the $50, 900 left In
Gov. Hayes hands, in bequests from Mr.
Bircbard, which he held three years aud
never returned for taxation, the fact is that
not dollar was thus left him, and that be-
quests were 70 be paid from the sale of the
land, and he was given three years in which
to sell It, This land is, OF course, taxed by
the ounty without consultation with owner

not required that he should make sep arate

Personal Property Tax.

BUSINESS MIN DlSSATlSFIED WITH THE
PREsENT LAw-How THE BANKS ESCAPE
The business men Of Washington are much
dissatisfied with the law OF July 18th, 1876,
imposing q tax Of IL per cent. on persoa al
property in the District. This IL additional
to ~ per cent. imposed on real estate. The
law 10 80 cleverly drawn that the very class
es most able to pay taxes, such as the banks
and bankers, are practically exempt from
TAX. They would be taxed on debts due to
them, but as they are allowed to deduct debts
due by them, they treat their deposits as
debts which they owe, and consequently
have nothing to pay, although deriving q
profit from the very sums they treat as debts
70 escape the tax. In addition to THE, their
capital, being mainly held in government
securities, which are non taxable, they es-
cape altogether, while poorer persons, whose
Investments are in securities other than
governments, pay by this tax bill 25 per
cent on their income. Deeds Of trust being
taxed, 1t follows that In many cases the
same property Ia twice taxed. This bill was
passed In haste under the influence Of John
Sherman, Hannibal Hamlin and Dis trict
Commissioners, and has been found to be so
detective that very few returns have been
made under IL, except by people who have
nothing to pay.-tRdsh. Or. ~ r World.

The Political Riot at Kingston, NY

FATAL ShOOTlN6 AT A POLE RAISIN9.
Additional dispatches giving the details OF
the political row at Kingston, N. Y, men,
toned In the telegraphIc columns OF TIE
STAR yesterday, set forth that the inhab-
ftants of the place are nearly all Irish demo
Gratis, and that republican club OF thirty
Irishmen has lately been formed there, and
much Ill feeling between the two bodies is
the consequences. About three weeks ago q
pole raised by the republican club was cut
down, and Wednesday afternoon the repub-
Ifcan club made an excursion to Stony Hot
low to erect a new pole and present the club
OF that place with a flag. One hundred and
thirty persons went from Kingston, with
Gen. Gates and A. T. Clearwater as spea kers
Ar1iving there meeting was Orgs nized
Gen. Gates attempted TO speak, but was
silenced by bowls. the ringing of COW bells
and other noises. The meeting was abau-
doned, but the pole was raised, and the
party started for the cars. All but two had
got into the cars; these two, John T. Bond
and Edward Clay; were on their way. when
they saw Michael Lamb take hold OF the
pole to pull IL down. Lamb was drunk, and
Constable Hy land and others say they tried
to pull him away. Bond, however. thought
they were rushing TO help Lamb TO pull the
pole down, and wildly eesticuiatIng and
fouiishiDg club he She Cted to the men I'm
the cars, "They are pulling down the POLE"
The democrats made a rush for the crowd,
and revolvers were drawn by the parties
from Kingston, most OF them being thus
armed. Revolvers were also seen Ia the
hands of some OF the Stony Hollow party.
1t is claimed that shot was fired Dy some
OF the republican band, but accounts differ
although mainly supporting this statement
The fight then became general, about nfty
shots being fired, aud stones were hurled
iteeIy. The republican party was finally
stoned back to The cars, and several Of them
were wounded. Captain AL Tanners was
badly cut on the head with q stone; d. L.
Montague, a clerk In the post office, was cut
also on the head with stone; Frank Harden
and T. ]. Bond were wounded By pistol SHOTS.

He Is still alive, however. Jos. Brachett's

Centennial Retrospect Of Medical

DIR. TONERS ADDRESS IN PHILADELPHIA
At Wednesdays session of the Interna.
tional Medical Congress, DIR. ]. n. Toner, OF
this city, read an address on "Medical Bio

Evening Telegraph Of that day We take the
following extract:

have generally been promotive Of medical
science, and our profession was no dou bt
much benentted by the contest for indepeu-
dence.
For the first quarter of century after this
armed struggle, the leading physicians aad
surgeons were those who had served in the
army. The most notable event OF this pc
Rod was the occurrence OF
AN EPIDEMIC YELLOW FEVER,
which appeared In the summer of 1893 and

disease tested the courage and taxed the en-

The second quarter Of the Centennial pc
Rod was distinguished by the
INTRODUCTION OF vACCINATION,
the occurrence Of spotted fever, and the war
OF 1872. All OF these were events which slim
ulated the profession to more extended stu,
dies and became incentives to AUTHORSHIP D;
this was especially true of the disease known
as spotted fever.
The war OF 1872 proved to be another great
school Of exf erience, although IL was not
fruitful in medical reports or publications
The aspiration which 1t aroused, however, in
the profession gave an impetus to the es
tabllshment OF medical periodicals and the
foundiDg off medical colleges and hospitals
In following out the plan of dividing the
century into quarters, the third may be
marked as noted for the
DISCOVERY OF AN1ESrHESIA,
the epidemic of Asiatic cholera in 1892 and
discovery and the application OF many new
and improved methods of physical explora-
ton In the search for disease.
Inc last quarter which has just closed is
specially distinguished by thu vast expert

school, and which has benefited the medic 81
profession OF the whole country. The ex-
tended use of ansethesia In painful surgical
operations, the increase of scientific means
for exact diagnosis. the introduction OF new
and potent remedies and modes of adminis-
