MISSING MAX MARETzEK.
He Turns Up in New York City.

ST. Louis, December 7.-Nothing
has been heard of Max Maretzek up
to a late hour last night, and the mem
bers Of his company are greatly dis
tressed at his disappearance. His
spirits had been much depressed of
late because Of the non-success of his
opera, Sleepy Hollow" and he had
also been embarrassed financially.
which worried him much. These facts,
and the additional one that when he
left the Lindell hotel Thursday morn
ing he took nothing with him except
what he wore, and that he was known.
to have no money with him, lead to the
belief that he either wandered out to
the country in mental alteration, or
has suicided. The latter theory has
the most advocates. The police are
searching for him in every direction.
and kilograms have been sent to num-
erous places, in the hope of finding
him. The company was given a bene-
fit tonight at the opera-house. and
the chorus and orchestra will leave for
their homes in a day or two. Mr..
Lien, agent, and Mr.. Peak, stage
manager, and perhaps Mr.. Turner,
will remain here several days, or until
there are no further hopes Of hearing
Of the missing manager.

THE act Of the Legislature passed
last winter postponing the collection
of taxes until October, required trus-
tees to come forward and renew their
bonds in order to protect the State and
county. Trustee Knight, of Davidson
county, failed to do this and Judge
Merritt, Of the Chancery Court, has
granted an injunction restraining him
from the further collection Of taxes.
The Banner says: Chancellor Mer-
rift, in giving his opinion, said hat his
opinion was based alone upon the act
of 1879, and that he expressed no
opinion as to any other matters in the
record. He said that the Legislature
clearly had the right to declare, as it
did by act, that having suspended
the collection of taxes for a definite
period, to prevent any question as to
the release Of sureties, no collector
should proceed to collect taxes unless
by the LIST day Of March, 1879, a new
bond had been given, or the sureties
on the old bond would appear and
agree to continue to be bound. The
Chancellor thought that Knight had
failed to give bond, and was, there
fore, inhibited, by law, from collecting
taxes. He thought that Knight was a
de facto officer, and payments to him
were good, but he also thought that
the citizen had the right to be re-
lieved of all uncertainty, and that
upon the whole, it was his duty to
enjoin him from further collecting
taxes, and he so ordered.

Death of Rev. Sam'I Mckinney.
knoxville Tribune.l
MI. Saml Mckinney has received
the sad intelligence Of the death of
his uncle the Rev. Saml Mckinney,
D. D., of Huntsville, Texas. DR..
Mckinney was the last of a worthy
family of brothers and sisters. He
was born, reared and educated in
Philadelphia, Pa, and was distin-
guished no less for sincere piety than
for his elegant scholastic attachments.
He devoted the greater part of his
life to tesching-was for a number of
years the principal of a fourishing
school at LaGrange, West Tennessee,
whence he removed to Holly Springs,
Miss, then to Louisiana and finally to
Huntsville, Texas, as the President of
Austin college. The death of this
eminent divine, and laborious and
faithful instructor of youth, will be
deeply regretted wherever he is
known, and must leave a void in the
state of Texas which can not be
easily supplied.
