Railroad Taxation.
Correspondence Morristown Gaze

Correspondence Morr1stoWn Gazette.
lind in one of the Knoxville dailies
a memorial of the county court of
Knox county to the legislature upon
the subjsct of railroad tax. The me-
mortal assumes two positions, both OF
which are erroneous:
l. II assumes that the value of the
capital stock should not be deducted
from from the total value of the rail.
road and tax assessed on the balance.
It is sufficient answer TO this to say
that the shares of stock are taxable,
and in Tennessee are actually taxed as
personality in the hands of share
holders, and second, that these shares
are, in great measure, held and
taxed in other states. The law is
right in tlis respect.
2. It is assumed that the basis of as
sessmeDt is wrong, in that the railroad
| is valued as a whole, including its roll
ling stock, machine shops, depots and
all other property, and then the value
per mile azceIt .iued by dividing total
| value by number of miles of length,
and giving t. each county its propor-
| ton on this BASH.
In answer to this It is Only needful
to inquire what would be the value OF
the property Of The East Tennessee.
| Virginia aud Georgia railroad
| company, as railroad property,
if we cut connections at the
Jefferson and Loudon county lines
| The answer is: No more than the
value of lot of old machinery and a
few hundred tons of rails. 1t would
tie worth nothing as railroad property
The twenty-odd miles of track lie
| ~ m \ n.
der the property Of the company stu
ated in Knox county valuable as does
tne track in Knox county or the rounC
houses or machine shops. Withou
the track in Knox and The machine
shops, &C.. in Knoxville, the railroad
property Of the company in HANDLER
would be comparative y valueess.
In short, railroad property is only
valuably by reason OF the continuity
of it's lines-only valuable as a whole
E.ch mile enters int, the value O
every otaer mile. Tha East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
ROAD is worth $4,000 per. mile be
cause it has connections at tn
ends and runs through the whole o
East Tennessee. Isolate it. and
would be worth $1,000 or Sic, 600 pc
mile. So it happens that the million
OF railroad property in Knox count
is worth a million only because til
property of the company in Othe
counties makes it worth million.
Allow ma tosay that this whole sui
ject was carefully considered by tn
legislature that passed the law, an
had been considered by the suprem
court before the law was passed. ~

The Troy, N. Y, Telegram, of recent
date says:
Miss Charlotte Thompson is always
favorite with Troy audiences and Rand's
opera house was comfortably filed with an
ness her rendition of The Planters Wife,"
in which character she has attained the
greatest success of her life. The play is
full of situations which call for the display
of great dramatic ability to make it suc>
cessful, and that Miss Thompson possesses
this ability YES pad ed to IS
evening. The play is something after the
style of BARLEY Campbelps Fairfax"
though superior-presenting moe striking
situations.
Miss Thomp: on sustained the character
of Edith Gray in al admirable manner
and received rounds of applause. Espe-
cially fine is the scene in which she is cons
fronted by her supposed criminal husband
and bis sociate in crime and threatened
with exposure and death should she refuse
to consent to their schemes. In this scene
Miss Thompson's acting is superb, her por-
traysl of the character of Edith Gray be-
ing as near reality as one could wish. Miss
Thompson is we'll supported by carefully
selected company. Miss Ethel Grey
brooke, as Dora Graham, is worthy of es-
pecial mention and she received much de-
served applause. The play has a goodly
sprinkling of comedy throughout, and
there are number of ludicrous inches into
which Miss Rose Keene, as Angie Gordon,
and Mr.. E. 81 Stephens, as Simeon Sincoe,
fit to perfection. Mr.. Walter L Dennis,
as Arthur Blake; Mr. Randolph Murray,
as Albert Graham; Mr.. c. G. Craig, as

A Rector for Old swedes.

A meeting of the congregation of
Old Swedes' Church was held last
year, and $500 subscribed towards the
salary Of rector for the regular sup
ply of the church. This sum, it is ex :
pected, will soon be largely Increased.
A committee of five, consisting of
Messrs. Chas. II. Cord, Thomas Milli-
gan and William Forrest, and Mrs.
Edwards and Mrs. Milne were chosen
to wait on the vestry and ascertain
what aid that body will lend the con
gregation of the Old Swedes' church.
As 1T is likely that several weeks will
elapse before tho pulpit is regularly
supplied, a fund sufficient to defray
the expenses of clergyman who will
hold services on each Sunday until a
rector is chosen, was raised last even
ing. The congregation then adjourned
until Wednesday evening next, when
the committee mentioned above will
present its report.

An Illinois Runian Fastens Boy
to the Rails to be Run Over.
A specia despatch from Pekin, ILL.,,
says:
Willie Cantrell, the thirteen-year old
son Of the section superintendent on the
Indiana, Bloomington,a and Western Rail-
road, was sent to a field this afternoon
for potatoes. As be was on his way
home he was met by middle aged man
with blue shirt and smooth face. He
seized the boy, threw him down, aud
with rope tied him to the rails. The
man then secreted himself short dis
tance away. The road here is curved
and has heavy grade. The passenger
train due at 3.42 was upon the boy be-
fore it could be stopped. He was struck
by the side Of the pilot, which broke his
ribs and one foot. As soon rs the train
had passed the murderous ruffian ran to
the boy, evidently expecting to find him
cut In two. But the lad had twisted
himself to one side, and escaped with the
above-named injuries. The man cut
and threw away the rope chat bound
young Cantrell, and then made his es.
cape through corn field. The train
was backed up, and the boy was found
In the ditch, moaning piteously. Several
passengers saw the man 60 up to the boy
after the train had passed over him, and
witnessed his flight. Policemen and
several parties are hunting for the brute,
with the intention of lynching him.

between eight hundred and one thous.
and people on the steamer FELTON,
when she left French street wharf at
6.25 O'Clock. Notwithstanding the
boat was held back five minutes after
the announced time of leaving, (6.20
o'clock) more than dozen people
were left behind. The excursion goes
by way Of Pennsgrovs and the Della
ware River Railroad, and tlbe weather
being fine a very pleasant time will
doubtless be spent by all hands. The
excursion will arrive here on the re-
turn between 8 and 9 O'Clock.

at Rugby-TW0 Fatal Cases.


at Rugby-Two Fatal Cases.
A special despatch from Cincinnati
says -
News is received from Rugby, Tenn,
the English coleny founded by Mr..
Thomas Hughes, that over one-twentieth
OF the colony is suffering from typhoid
fever, two deaths having occurred and
several persons being In . very precari-
GUS condition. A few days ago . mes-
sage came to DR.. J. T. Whitaker, .
leading physician Of this city, askipk
him to visit the colony to treat some
urgent cases. On arriving there be
found large number prostrated with
something similar to typhoid fever.
That night two of them died, and .
hurried post-mortem examination con.
hrmed his opinion and pointed out the
proper method OF treatment.
The next thing was q search for the
cause. Rugby Is located on the Cum
berland plateau, over 1,50O feet above
the sea, in the middle Of q fine mountain
country 1t was discovered that the
colony had been using water from q
large cislern which, when emptied, was
found to contain filth 90 noxious that its
fAoeo oNoiSaIuc LuC WOEhmou WHO ~
tempted to remove it. The water from
the cistern and q we'll near by it, which
Is supposed to have been contaminated,
was prescribed, and proper treatment
for the suffers was begun. An interne
from the Cincinnati Hospital was sent
to the colony to give his entire attention
to the cases, and number of Sisters Of
Charity have also gone rs nurses
The two victims, Osmon Dakene and
William Chatter, who died on Saturday,
were the first persons who have died in
the colony. They were buried on Sat-
urday IN the woods near Rugby. The
bodies, enclosed in plain coffins, were
placed upon chairs in the large Assem-
bly, Rail, brief service was read by
Hasting Hughes, and they were borne
silently to the lonely graves.
What the result of the illness among
the inhabitants will be cannot be fore
told, but it lie hoped that change Of water
and proper treatment may check the
disease.

The Board OF Health.

In relation TO the recent work of the
Board of Fealth, the President, DR.. L.
T. Bush, publishes the following card in
the Morning Netos:
The Morning Ne,os of to-day takes an
undue credit to itself for the subsidence
OF the small pox in this city. As a meu-
bers of the Board of Health, do not
intend that the good done by that body
shall be absorbed by your paper.
From the entrance of the new 30. rd
upon it's duties the efforts of The mem
bcrs have been unwearied TO bring the
city back from the very unhealthy con-
dition in which they found it. The
smallpox was an appendix 10 the usual
labors which that body have TO perform.
In alluding to the improvement In res
pect to this disease, which is now show
ing itself, the work of the vaccine physi
Glars of the board, and Of the city, the
discredit which it attached to the vac
cine points and quills which had be.
come almost worthless, the rules for
disinfectng the houses OF the sick, and
the recent ordinance OF tie Council quar-
abtining the families of the infec! ed, ,inay
be advanced as the legitimate means by
which, at length, we may hope that this
disease which has troubled our people
and which has troubled the minds Of oui
neighbors even more than our own, Is
disappearing from our city.
This Is stated not as a matter to be
boasted OF, but as simple truth. for
the members of the board did not under.
take this business either for honor OF
profit, but solely to try what could be
done by u few men, instead of large
body, and they are well satisfied with
their work whatever the opinion Of
others may be. 1t would not be Justice
to omit the indefatgable exertions
which have been made by the secretary
OF the board aud the executive officers
