IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Camden Village Corporation Tax
Case Settled.

CAMDEN, Dec. 3.
T. r. Simonton of Camden, received Tues
day the rescript in an important case, the
first of the kind decided in court. The case
was the town of Camden against the Camden
Village Corporation, to recover taxes for the
years 1ss0-l-2 of 5000 each, tax on the Viii
lage Corporation hall. The tax of 1880 was
paid by the officers of the village.
An action to recover for lSSO-l-2 was sub
mitted on an agreed statement of facts to the
full court as to taxing the hall. The rescript
states that buildings and other property own
ed by municipal corporation appropriated
to public uses, are but means and instrument
talities used for municipal governmental pur
poses, and are therefore exempt from general
taxation, not by express statuary prohibition,
but by necessary implication. 1t saves the
Camden Village Corporation 800 a year
since 1880, for all future time. T. h. Simon
ton, attorney for Camden Village Corpora
ton A. p. Gould, attorney for the town.

once received Col. Sladen, who accompanied

and frightened. He said he hoped the Brit
ish would spare his life; that he wished to
abdcate and would remain in any house al
loted to him by the British government.
King Thebaw claimed his ministers had de-
ceived him in regard to the situation of af-
fairs he was ignorant of what was occurring
outside of Mandalay. He was almost a pris-
oner in his palace: that he feared assassination n
if he left the palace. Col. Slsden advised
His Majesty to plead with Lord Dufferin,
viceroy of India. On Sunday King Tbebaw
surrendered in the presence of the ministers
and embarked for Calcutta under guard The
French consul accompanied His Majesty.

LONDON, Dec. 5.
Dispatches from Nissasreport that council
of war was held there, Wednesday. King
Milan. Col. Horvatovitch, and the Austrian
General Albori were present. 1t 10 reported
that Gen. Albori insisted upon the Servians
maintaining defensive position until they
are strongly reinforced, in case war shall be
resumed. Austrian transports of all kinds
are going to the front and feverish feeling
exists. Active military preparations are pro-
crossing.
The Bulgarian government has sent anoth-
er circular to the powers. 1t points out that
Servia first declared war; that after reverses
Bulgarian valor forced the Servians to retire
to their own territory; that despite the arm
istice agreed to the Servians continued hos
tilities against Widdin aud Tevas. Owing to
threats by the Austrian minister at Belgrade,
Alexander agreed to an armistce and inv tied
Servia to appoint delegates to arrange mat
ters. Prince Alexander gives assurance that
he will not try to influence the Roumelians
against the Porte's delegates, but he asks the
Powers to persuade the Porte to defer action
until after the conclusion of peace with
Servia.
NIssA, Dec. 5.
Col. Horvatovitch has ordered all retired
officers who served under his command dur
ing the last Turkish war, to go to the 'front.'
1t is considered that the only chance that ex-
lists for preventing an extension of conflict, is
the formation of cabinet under M. Ristics,
formerly prime minister, whose policy is to
contine hostilities within their present limits.
Col. Horvatovitch has been appointed
commander-in- chief of the Servian armies
In official circles it is thought that the re-
sumption of hostilities is certain, owing TO
Prince Alexanders refusal of the terms pro-
posed by Servia. 1t is stated that fighting
has already been resumed.

A meeting of citizens was held, and the
bishop urged them to repudiate the proposal
to restore the status quo ante. The Russian
agent was present, and said that delegates
had preceded the European commission. and
that the Sultan's special commissioner was
coming to organic statutes. He warned his
hearers that if the commissioner was not re-
ceived Turkish troops would enter the coun-
try, and that Russia would refuse assistance
to the Roumelians. The meeting, however,
declined to accept the commissioner or to
treat on the matter of restoring status quo
ante The Russian agent then withdrew from
the meeting and afterwards sent to the
various foreign consuls copy of the resolu-
ton, which in substance was as follows ::
That Turkish delegates be requested to post
pone their mission and depart tor their homes ;
that the citizens of Phillipopolis only ac-
knowledge Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, as
the seat of government; that the army of
