The heaviest rain storm for fourteen
years visited Baltimore Sunday morning.
The storm broke oyer the city at 4:30
O'Clock, and continued two hours. The
rainfall was 4.47 inches, and the destruc-
tion was very considerable. In the de-
pressed portions of the city the streets
were flooded, the sewers not having suf-
ficient capacity to carry the water off. The
damage was particularly heavy among the
tenement houses along the line Of Jones's
Fall. The water rose to the second stories,
and there was considerable anxiety felt for
the lives of the people living in the houses.
The fire department worked hard, and
fortunately no lives were lost. The flood
ed districts present a strange appearance.
In some places mud is piled up to a hight
of six feet, and furniture and merchandise
of every description is strewn around pro-
miscuously. The steeple of Westminster
Methodist Church was struck by lightning
and considerably damaged.

Virginia Coupon Cases.

A dispatch from Richmond says Judge
Bond, of the circuit court, has entered a
decree in five suits brought by taxpayers
VINO have rendered coupons in payment
OF State taxes, perpetually enjoin-
Ing the defendant treasurers from levy
ing upon, selling or returning as delin
quent the property of compliments, or
taking any other steps to collect taxes.
The insufficiency of the amount in these
cases makes the DEGREES final, unless case
IS made up, which it is understood has al
ready been done, to carry the matter to
the United States Supreme Court. Judge
Bonds DEGREES are claimed to be in exact
accordance with the decision of the Su-
preme Court in April in the Virginia cou-
pom cases. Their practical effect is that
the taxpayer has only to tender tax re-
celyable coupons to proper officer, and
any proceedings thereafter to collect the
the tax In money will be perpetually en-
joined. Costs of about $50 were awarded
IN each case against the treasurers, for
refunding of which to them there is no
provision by State law. Judge r. w.
Hughes, of the district court, to-day
granted preliminary injunctions in other
and similar cases. The effect of these
proceedings will be to embarrass the State
seriously in the collection of it's revenue.

George III quit being prince at the age Of
q years and began to hold down the English
throne. He would reign along for a few
years, taking it kind Of quiet, and then all
at once he would declare war and pick out
some people to 60 abroad and leave their
skeletons on some foreign shore. That was
Georges favorite amusement He got UP
the Spanish war in two years after he
CLONE the throne; then he had an American
revolution, a French revolution an Irish
rebellion and a Napoleonic war. He dearly
loved carnage IL it could be prepared on a
foreign strand George always wanted i'm
ported carnage even IL it came higher. 1t
was in 1865 and early in Georges reign that
the American stamp act passed the legisla-
ture and the Goddess of Liberty began to
kick over the dashboard.
George was different from most English
kings morally. When he spit on his hand
and grasped the scepter he took his scruples
with him right onto the throne. He was
not talked about half SO much as other kings
before or since his time. Nine o clock most
always found George in bed, with his scepter
under the window sash, SO that he could
have plenty Of fresh air. As it got along
toward o o'clock be would call the hirei
girl, tell her to spread a linen lap-robe on
the throne till morning, issue royal uk ase
directing her to turn out the cat, and in
structing the cook to set the pancake bat
ter behind the royal stove in the council
chamber, then he would wind the clock and
retire. Early in the morning George would
ne up and dressed, have all his chores done,
and the throne busted OF ready for another
hard days reign.
George III is the party referred to in the
declaration Of independence as the present
king Of Great Britain, and of whom many
bitter personal remarks were made by Amer
lean patriots. On this side Of the water
George was not highly esteemed. II he
had come over here to spend the summer
with friends in Boston, during the days Of
the stamp act excitement, he could have
gone home packed in ice, no doubt, and
with Swiss sunset under each eye
Georges mind was always a little ON the
bias, and in 1910 he went crazy for the fifth
time. Always before that he had gone
right ahead with his reign, whether be was
crazy or not but with the fifth attack of
insanity, coupled with suggestion of the
brain and blind staggers, 1t was decided to
tie him up in the barn and let some one else
reign awhile. The historian says that blind
ness succeeded this attack, and in 1911 the
Prince Of Wales became regent.
George III died at Windsor In 1920 with
the consent Of joint committee Of both

stopping for feed or water, of any monarch
