Mr., A. G. Riddle, attorney for the District,
has submitted an opinion on the subject of

panics, under the personal tax law, in which
he says; "Wththe policy, expediency, or Jus.

are to ascertain their meaning as well as we
can, and enforce them, without reference to
consequences to individuals or the public inter-
ests. Those matters rest with Congress. Or.
dinarily the amount of the stock of the incor
pOration authorized by its charter Is 70 be
taken as its capital stock If there is no way

A Homicide IN South Washington.

An inquest was held yesterday over the
body of James Simms, colored boy, who died
Thursday night from the effects of a stab re-
ceived from Charles Nelson, another coloro1
boy, during fight in Levi Kadden's restau-
rant, No. 400 Four-and-a.half street south
west last Wednesday night. From the evil
dence taken it appears that a number of coll
ored boys, including Simms and Nelson, were
assembled in Kadden's restaurant playing
cards and drinking. A quarrel arose between
Nelson and Simms, and Nelson struck Simms.
After short rough-and- tumble fight Nelson
drew pocket knife and plunged the blade
into Simms' left side just below the ribs
Nelson then left. Simms was taken to his
home, on II street, between First and Half
streets southwest, and died Thursday night
The affair was kept from the police on Wednes'
day night, so Nelson escaped arrest. The
jury rendered verdict that death resulted
from wound in the abdomen inflicted with
knife in the hands of Charles Nelson on the
night of February -. Nelson gave himself up
at Police Headquarters last night.

"BOB HART" RATIFIED.

New York Special to Chicago Tribune.
Tho Berean Baptist church was the scene
to-day, of the mastering in of ex-senator
Bob Hart, as soldier of the cross. James
M. Sutherland, known to the theatrical world
as "Bob Hart" was baptized at noon by the
Rev. John Quincy Adams. The church was
crowded, i'll anticipation of the baptism of
the minstrel. The "Senator" looked su-
premely happy as he grasped the clergy
mans hand, and when he emerged from the
water there was sparkle in his eye which
spoke in unmistakable language of his re-
ligious enthusiasm. Had the place been
other than church, the great congregation
would have broken forth in q
burst of applause. There is probably
no man in this city better known
to the general public than "Senator' Bob
Hart. He is AZ years of age, and for twenty
three years he has been before the world in
the character of a stump orator in the min
strell hall. His life has been one of dissipa-
ton and excitement. The whisky which in
spired at first demoralized at lasi. He lost
engagements because he was not reliable,
and was fast descending to utter disgrace
when the hand of Christ, as he says, was
stretched forth to save HIM. Mr.. Adams de-
scribed the rescue of Bob Hart: "Four
weeks ago Sutherland was returning to
Hackensack. He had been on spree, and
was drunk at the time. some person in the
car told him Billy Dwyer had signed the
pledge. The intelligence sobered him. He
said to himself: If Dwyer cen reform, there is
hope for me- He determined to reform
then and there. It was terrible struggle
with the whisky in his system, but, with the
aid of his wife, he fought it out. He hunted
up Dwyer, went with him to Evans' tenn
perance meeting, and signed the pledge.
From that moment he began to seek saliva
'tion, and, on the next Friday afternoon, was
clearly converted. The transformation of
the man was complete. He has renounced
the stage, and is going to devote himself to
the gospel ministry: he will make great
clergyman. He has the gift of clothing his
thoughts in language, and all he needs is pre-
paratory study. He is the happiest man to
day ever saw, aud believe he will max
one of the most successful ministers this
country has produced
