The Supreme Court of this State mas
Just rendered a decision of considerable
importance to this and other Illinois cities
Under The road and bridge law Of 1877
there was some doubt about tho proper
disposition of the road and bridge tax lev
led upon the property of a township
which includes within its limits an incor
porated city. By previous law, all the
taxes levied inside the city limits had to &C
into the city treasury; but that of 1877
made a muddle OF the matter A cast
came up in Flora, which was taken to thu
Supreme Court, which now says:
The Legislature undoubtedly intended
to give to cities and villages all taxes lev
led within its limits, under both clauses
one and two, section eighty one, of the law
of 1877. The taxes levied for road, and
road and bridge purposes within the city
limits of Flora. should be wholly paid tt
the treasurer of said city. and the commiss
toner's of the township in which said city
of Flora is situated, are entitled TO no par

THE LATEST
As to How the Fever FIOurlshos.

No new cases have been officially
reported at the board of health since
our first edition, but unof6cially it is
stated on very fair authority that the
son of Chief Athy is suffering with a
fully developed case. The residence
of the Athy family is in the north
east portion Of the city, beyond
the point where Tobin and family
died a few days ago. A nurse was
sent by the Masonic order to a Ger
man family on South street, neal De-
Soto, during the forenoon, and it is
said the sufferer has the same fever
that afflicted others in the vicinity.
1t would appear from this that the
sickness is gradually extending its
area, and that it is working its way
%northward from Clay street, which is
next below South.
The barber Eckels, mentioned in
the first edition, has a very high fever.
His face is flushed, his tongue red and
coated, while his eyes are dull and
blOodshot. When visited to-day by a
friend he appeared ~disinclined to talk,
aud was in a half stupor, though quite
rational. Eckols has been pre-dis-
posed to bilious attacks throughout
the spring and summer period. On
several occasions he has been com
PEELED to quit work and lay up for a
few days. His wife is nursing him.
Mr.. Williamson, on the corner of.
Front and Jefferson streets, is getting
along as we'll as could be expected.
lie has a high fever, as is indicated
by the usual temperature tests, but he
is hopeful and so are his friends.
In view of the unfavorable outlook,
two of our banks, the Emmett Savings
and the Manhattan, turned their
deposit accounts over to others this
forenoon and closed doors. Their
officers are preparing to depart and
will not come back until cold weather.
The people seem to be viewing the
calmly. Many are preparing
to leave the city, but there will not be
any rush, such as resulted on the day
Mulbrandon died. The steamer
Shiukle, to leave for the Ohio river
afternoon, will carry away over
one hundred passengers.
The sky is overcast this afternoon
with inky clouds, and a thunder and
rain storm set in soon after three
o'clock.

The fact was that one of. Sir

An Old COnfederate's bad For

The Clifton (Tenn.) Bulletin, of
Tuesday, says
We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Robert Williams, an old Confed-
crate soldier, a member of the Eighth
Mississippi regiment, who was with
General Lee at the fight at Gettys-
burg, and with his brother was severe
ly wounded. After the surrender they
went to Brazil, in company with a
number of Southern people, and he
informs us that all who went have re-
turned that could possibly do so, and
that there are some who never will be
able to get back. His description Of
the people, country and his trials, was
very interesting. His brother and
uncle both died in Rio Janeiro, last
fall, of yellow fever, and he had a
siege Of it, but pulled through. He
came from there to Matamoras on a
coffee brig. On landing on United
States soil, he gave three cheers in ex-
preston of his happiness on being able
to say that he was in a white mans
country once more" He also in
formed us that he was a native of Ten
nessee, born at Nashville, and had
travelled all the way from Matamoras
ON foot, and was expecting to meet a
brother who lives near Nashville.
