THE r. r. TAX SUIT.

Expert Harrison Details Some Prop
ersy the Central Failed to Report.
The State has closed its case in the suit
brought by the New Jersey Central Rail
road Company to defeat the enforcement
by the State of the new railroad tax laws.
Expert Harrison, however, gave some in
teresting testimony, under the lead of ex-
Judge Hoffman on redirect examination,
showing the failure of the railroad com.
pany to make an honest return to the
State Beard of Assessors of the property
they owned that was subject to taxation.
Mr.. Harrison got on this feature of the
case by comparing the property transferred
by the Central, in the lease to the Pniladel-
phia and Reading, with the property in
ventoried in their sworn return to the
State Board. By the lease they transferred
316 locomotives. In their return to the
State Beard they report the ownership of
only 1876 locomotives. The lease shows
the ownership of 305 passenger coaches.
They return only 27S to the State Board
The 205 stone ore cars transferred by the
lease dwindle to when they are counted
for taxation. Mr. Harrison prepared ta-
ble showing the total value of the rolling
stock they thus failed to return. The table
shows the following items:
100 locomotives at average value $7,081
each, $849, 720; ~ 8-wheel passenger cars
at average value $3,348 each, $90,396; 1913
8-wheel house cars at average value $461
each. $59, 00S; 40 8-wheel gondola cars at
average value $40 each, 5000; 277 f.
wheel stone ore cars at average value $3.50
each, S41, $50; making total of $1,O60,-
764.
The case on the part of the Central
Railroad has been opened, and testimony
was takel at the Rowland House in Long
Branch. The railroad company has trav
ersed the several items of property refer
red tn in Mr.. Harrisons testimony, and
the evidence of J. NJ G. Marsh. Road
Master Peddle, and George Holmes, a
young lawyer of this city, who have ap-
praised the items of property for the rail
road company was taken. The railroad
company base their main stem land valua-
tons upon the returns of the local asses
sors, and there is an intimation that all of
the local assessors in the several taxing
districts through which the road runs may
be on the stand as witnesses for one side or
the other.

city ordinance in selling liquor without

Mr.. Norton few days to pay the fine.
Yesterday three days had gone by and
nothing had been heard OF him. Judge
Stilsing sent vandriYer Kilburn to inquire
about him. Kilburn learned that he had
sold out his saloon and had gone to New
York to stay.
"Has he taken all his goods?" Kilburn
asked
"No." some one said, "he has trunk
here"
An express wagon stood at the door, and

Mike Kuntz's Myes,ertous Shot In the
County PenItentiay.

county Penltene1ays
couple of months ago Freebooter Law
son, of the Fourth district, nominated ex-
Fire Commissioner Kuntz as one of the
night Waterman at Snake Hill. Freebooter
Neuman seconded the nomination, and Mr.
Kuntz was appointed. Considerable sur
prise wes expressed in some quarters at
the appointment, but no complaints went
before the Snake Hill subcommittee.
A week sgo last Tuesday night, while
most of the prisoners were asleep the sud
den pop of gun or revolver was heard in
the corridor of the prison. Warden Grimes
and other officials hurried to the scene.
where they found Ike per Kuntz using
strong language against an alleged tom cat
An investigation next morning showed
that bullet had been fired through the
prisoners dining room, the ball entering
between the grating, and lodging in the
wall.
Last Tuesday, the subcommittee, COM
posed of Freeholders Birdsall, Rouse,
Hoos, Norton and Kelly, met, and Mr..
Kuntz was fined thirty days pay for being
away without leave. Nothing was
said officially about the shooting, although
joke was passed about it. The absence
without leave occurred after the shooting,
when Kuntz went to picnic at the
Schuetzen Park.
A TATTLER yesterday saw Freebooter
Neuman. The latter said in substance:
81 don't know how responsible Mrs. Kuntz
is, but know he has large family, and
that is the reason voted for him. heard
something about the shooting a week ago
Tuesday, but don't know any Of the parti-
culars.
An employee of the County told the
TATTLER that he saw where the ball entered
the prisoners dining-room.
Freebooter Hoos admitted that some
thing was said about the shooting at the
last meeting of the subcommittee, after
the penalty of five days had been imposed
for being absent without leave. The origi-
nal remark about the shooting, he said,
was made by Freebooter Birdsall. The
latter gentleman declined to know any
thing about the case. 1t is charged on the
Hill that Mr.. Kuntz is not responsible
keeper, and that Superintendent Kelly has
had to exercise his ingenuity more than
once to maintain discipline when Kuntz
was in charge of men on the road.

Answer for the Losses of the Depositors

The Court OF Errors Holds That any OF
Them May be Brought into Court 10
Answer for the Losses ofthe Depositors
TRENTON, N. j., July 25.-Chief- Justice
Beasley to-day handed down the decision
of the Court of Errors and Appeals in the
case of Washington B. Williams, as Re-
ceiver of the Mechanics and Laborers
Bank, of Jersey City, against the Directors
of the Bank, against the directors and in
favor of the Receiver. The bill filed by
the Receiver was against all the Directors
OF the Bank, from its incorporation down to
the time of its failure, holding them liable
Tor neglect in making improper investments
IN second mortgages and in personal secur-
tiles, as well as for Halliard's defalcation.
The defendants filed demurrer to the
bill, claiming that they were not liable,
because more than six years had elapsed
nee the losses which followed the failure
of the bank,sand that some of them
had actually been out of the manage
ment for more than six years before the
bank failed, and that, although there is no
statute of limitations to cover such case,
yet it is the duty of the Court of Chancery
to apply the same rule that would apply in
law court where claim over six years old
would be barred by the statute of limita-
ton. The defendants also claim in their de-
murrer that the Receiver cannot lump
them together in one large omnibus"
suit, but must bring separate suits against
those individuals who were neglectfnl in
any particular case or cases; in other
words, in legal parlance, the bill was null
hilarious. In this phase of the suit, of
course, the merits of the particular ne
elects of duty charged are not involved,
but the demurrer simply takes the bill
astrue for the purpose OF argument. The
Chancellor, 1t will be remembered, decided
in favor of the Directors; and had his de-
cision been affirmed to-day, it would have
ended the whole case. The Receiver, how
ever, appealed from the decision of the
Chancellor. and the Court Of Appeals have
unanimously reversed the Chancellor's de-
cision, holding that the statute of limita-
tons will not be applied by Court of
Equity I; and that the fact that there are
different suits and claims against different
sets of directors is not fatal, because justice
can be done in final decree, and each
man held for what he is personally liable
for. This leaves the case open for the Re-
ceiver to make proof of all the cases Of
neglect and bad investment, and gives
promise of a long litigation. Mayor Col
Inns argued the case for the Receiver.

The Ordinance Not Unreason BILE.

TRENTON, July 25.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company certioraried the
Board of Aldermen of Jersey City, claim
ing that the ordinance imposing a fine of
$40 on the railroad company for each and
every time its trains blocked any street
crossing for more than three consecutive
minutes, was unreasonable. The Court of
Errors to-day handed down an opinion
holding that the Railroad Company could
not claim that the whole ordinance was I'M
reasonable, as the Railroad Company only
complained of two street crossings = Greene
and Washington streets. The decision of
the Court affirms the ordinance and states
that the Railroad Company might raise the
question that they claim in the certiorari
exists on any Judgment to be recovered
against them for penalty under the ordin-
ance if they should be sued for violation
of it. Senator William Brinkerhof ap-
peared for the city, and Messrs. Vreden-
bergh and Garrettson for the Railroad
Company.

The mercury went up into the nineties
as usual yesterday, and another torrid day
was the result. But while it was hotter
than on many other days, and far more
sultry, the effects were lighter, perhaps,
because people were becoming more used
to it. On the seashore the heat was felt
almost as much as inland, the breeze blow
