wife. An accounting was ordered some time ago,
and the Hon. James S. Thayer was appointed the
referee.
A New York paper thus gives an account of
recent assault by reason of the controversy over
the dead mans estate
George F. Gilman, according to his own show
ing, has frequently been violently attacked by his
half brothers, and he has been almost constantly
under the near protection of the police. The ref
erence was underway in Messrs Fullerton, Knox
X Crosbys offices in the Equitable Building, Fri
day. When it was adjourned soon after o'clock,
Fisher, Charles and Tneophilus Gilman waited for
Geo. F. Gilman in the lower hallway. The latter
descended the staircase TO the street. The janitor
OF the building was his protector. When George
F. Gilman entered coupe, Fisher Gilman opened
the door Of the vehicle and leaned inside. The
janitor pushed him away
Then the excitement began. Who struck or
threatened to strike shoot first, has not yet been
definitely settled, but, according to the generally
accepted story, the driver whipped up his horse,
and Fisher Gilman ordered him to stop. Then the
driver, Thomas lialoran, hit Fisher Gilman on
the head with the whip. At this Charles Gilman
attacked llolloran and received several terrific
blows on the head with the butt of the whip.
Fisher Gilman hurried to the rescue of his brother
CHARLES, jumped upon the wheel, pointed a revolt
yer at the driver and attempted to discharge the
weapon. Theophilus Gilman shouted, "Shoot
him" and Fisher Gilman seemed about to obey
the instructions when the driver lsshed his horse
and the coupe ratified up Broadway. Fisher,
Charles and Theophilus Gilman frantically chased
the vehicle and yelled. "Stop him. Charles Gil
mans head and face were covered with blood.
When near Cour,land street the coupe was b lock

ArTesled.

BANGOR, February g. F. A. Warren, a young

Court Matters.
The text Of opinion of the Supreme Court in suit
brought by the State to ollect taxes of the Maine
Central Railroad Company will be published in
the Wing tomorrow occupying seven columns.
The opinion is drawn by Chief Justice Appleton
the other judges concurring, and is very mpor-
tant, being test case applicable to suits by the
State against other railroads for taxes. The
Court holds that the legislature may incorporate
new distinct corporation out Of two or more
existing corporations that the special act of con.
solidation of 1856 is also an act of incorporation
that the statute authorizing mortgages of insol-
vent railroads to form new and distinct corpora
tions must be construed, subject to a general law
roserving the right Of the State to amend, alter or
repeal; that new corporation formed of two or
more existing corporations, and invested with
privileges, immunitcs, etc. possessed by each of
said corporations, has only the privileges,
immunities, etc, which corporation, with
the fewest such possessed, and which are
common to all; that when two or more corpora
tons with special immunity from general taxa
ton, the amount being dependent upon certain
precedent acts to he done by such corporations
thus to be exempted, and those corporations are
incorporated into new corporation, which is not
required, and is unable TO do and perform the
acts which are to precede such limited and spe-
cal taxation, the new corporation thus created
cannot claim such special exemptions and that
immunity from taxation is not one of the fran
chises Of corporation. Judgment was given
for the State involving about $50 600 taxes from
the Maine Central, and affecting suits against
other coInorations.

Turkey.

CONSTANT NOBLE, February 6. The Sultan of
Turkey has removed Grand Vlzier Midhst Pasha
and sent him out Of Turkey. Edhem Pasha has
been appointed in his place. The dismissal of
Midhat Pasha is attributed to his scheme of con
sttutional REFORM which was regarded by the
Sultan as encroachng upon the imperial preroga-
tive. The rumor is current that his removal is
due to a discovery oil conspiracy to dethrone the
Sultan and replace him by ex-Sultan Murad.
The Pail Mall Gazette says it does not believe
Midhat Pashas downfall betokens more concilia-
tory policy, but rather believes Edhem Pasha's &C.
cession means more uncompromisIng resistance.
special from Constantinople to the Pail Mall
Gazette says the cause of Midhat Pashas fall dates
from from some time back. The imperious char
acter of Midhat Pasha clashed with the frmness of
the Sultan, whose liberal views went far ahead of
Nj ldhats. The constitution disappointed the Sui
tan by the multiplicity Of its and qualif-
cations, and many warm discussions occurred be-
tween the sovereign and minister.
The Eastern Question.
LONDON, February 6. The Standards cores

of a pamphlet which has appeared there contain
ing the private correspondence between Gen. L.
natief and the Russian ambassador at Vienna
and between the Russian consuls in Serva, Rag
usa and various parts Of Turkey and the Sclavonic
committees.
The correspondence ranges from 1871 to 1873
The most important are one from the consul gen
eral at Belgrade, stating that he has supplied GER
tain emssaries who are going to the Vilayet Of
the Danube TO establish branches of Amladina
with funds and introductions to the consul general
at Rustichuk. A letter from Ignatieff to the
khedve of Egypt urges the latter to prepare for
war, and conclude alliances against the Porte.
The Times Belgrade special says it is evident
that the Servia government relies on some power
to support 1t in case no agreement is reached be-
fore March first, as there is apparently no appre-
hensioD in Belgrade of the consequences of the
Servians being left to confront the whole Ottoman
empire
The correspondent adds A person fully in
formed of acts of the Servian government informs
me the Russian Consul General here (Belgrade)
IS really acting IS agent of Russian political So
cieties. 1t is perfectly evident from what is TAX
