The Railroad vs.. The Assessors.

peka u Santa ke road and the asst sors
Of the several counties through which
this road passes. The road has sent TO
each assessor u duplicate copy of the
properly they claim to haye in the ter
rltory ut the present time. This prop
erty is confined 10 locomotives, bag
gage cars, passenger cars, and baggage
and passenger cars combined, and
supplies, fuel. lumber. and the like. Ali
rights Ut way, road beds, ties, depOts,
eating houses, section houses, freight
cars, and all things else, are omitted
except the lens preyJous y mentioned.
BY this means the entire properly oi
the road In the territory Is put down at
$229, 970. VI this there falls to the
share Of San Miguel county, three loco
motives, valued at $4,000 each; one
passenger car, $b85U,. one passenger
and baggage car, $1,000, and supplies.
fuel, lumber, ETC., $36, 600, making q
total OF $55,0O0.
Od the other hand the assessor thinks
IL shoul d be listed in the sum of nearly Oh
quite ~, 00U, ,000 for San Miguel county
alone. Nor is this the only difference,
for the road puts in even the small
amount already specified under protest,
contending that by legislative act they
are exempt from taxation for SIX years
after the completion of the road, or fol
twelve years from The commencement

atory OF the act affecting the taxation OF
railroads, is of cumbers ONE construction
oauly expressed and difficult to under
stand. 1t says, when freed from repe-
titions, That tor the purpose of taxa
ton any railroad shall be deemed to
have reached completion, at the end OF
six years from the time of commence
ment of the construction, whether the
point to which the road has been put in
operation IS the place of destination as
mentioned In the articles of incorpOra-
tion, or whether it is some point inter
mediate between the termini of the road
as named in the articles of incorpora- :
ton" This matter will come up be-
fore the county commissioners at their
session in June, but as it is one affecting
the entire territory, no doubt it will
ind its way to the highest judicial tri-
bunal of our territory. The coming leg
islature should take this matter in
hand, and either modify the old law SC
that it shall no longer be ambiguous, OF
better still, enact more reasonable law
on the subject.

Rabbi DIR. Glueck.

This pastor of the Montefore congre-
cation of our city, on last Sunday, to
the surprise Of his people, rendered his
resignation. to take place on the close
of his second term in September next.
The resignation has not yet been form
ally accepted, nor is IL known what
course the congregation will take. DIR.
Glueck Is q man of large and varied
learning, and Of lndefatigable industry.
He has endeared himself to many out
side OF his own denomination BY the
breadth of his views and the catholicity
of his sentiments. The Hebrew of our
city have taken 1t in hand to build II
temple fer themselves unto the Lord
and the resignation of the Rabbi just al
this juncture IL to be regretted, because
he was vigorously pushing the matter 10
success. The cause of the resignation
is no breach Of harsmony between the
pastor and his people, but comes en-
tirelY from the purpose of DIR. and
Mrs. Glueck to revisit Europe. They
have been absent from their father land
for fifteen years, and intend availing
themselves Of this opportunity to graf
ify long felt and ardent desire, Ii the
Rabbi holds to his purpose, he will be
followed by the best wishes of larg 9

Martinsville, Va, the Scene OF Bloody
and Fatal Combat Between
Angry Citizens.
IMartinsville Cva.) telegram.

No greater tragedy has occurred in Vir-
ginia in a decade than that which fills this
town with gloom and excitement. In
fight on a crowded street many shots were
fired, and as a result Jacob Terry, young
farmer, is dead, and the life blood of his
two brothers, j. X. Terry and Benjamin
Terry, is fast ebbing away. Colonel p. ID.
Spencer, prominent business man and
manufacturer; Tarlton Brown, proprietor
of Browns tobacco warehouse; b. l.. Jones,
n saioon-keeper; r. l.. Gregory, hotel
clerk, and Sandy Martin, a negro, are all
dangerously wounded. All the parties are
prominent in the business life of this place
and well known in Southern Virginia.
The affair was due to the posting of an
anonymous circular seriously rejecting on
w. X. Terry, a young business man, and
his father, the late William Terry, promi-
nent citizen. Yesterday morning Terry
telegraphed for his two brothers, j. X. and
Benjamin, living at Aiken Station, twenty
miles away. They arrived at l p. M, and
after a brief consultation went to the print
ing Office and demanded the author of the
card The printer told them il was Col. p.
ID. Spencer, member of the town board,
and one of the leading business men.
Last evening, soon after the tobacco fac
tory had closed for the day and the streets
were filled with operatives returning from
their work, the Terry brothers started in the
direction of Spencers factory. When about
half way they were met by Spencer, with
his brother and several friends. w. X
Terry addressed few words to Spencer;
who told him not 10 shoot. Just then
some one fired pistol and precipitated the
fight. Forty shots were fred. w. X.
Terry was shot from the rear, the ball en-
tering near his spine and lodging in his
right breast. Jacob Terry was shot through
the abdomen and fell dead. Benjamin
Terry was shot through the neck and in the
body. Spencer was shot in the hip, and
his business partner, Tarlton Brown, re-
ceived two balls in the groin. Gregory and
Martin were hit by stray balls.
The Terrys are we'll known, and occupy
a high social position. None of them is
married. All the business houses in Mar
tinsville are closed to- day.

AN exchange says: Until recently
sugar cane was looked upon as prac
tically worthless also, and was Pc
mitted to go to waste 10y the thousands
of tons. In pursuing some investiga-
tions short time ago for the purpose
of discovering, if possible, whether the
fiber of the cane could not be used in
the manufacture of bagging, gentle
man found properties which convinced
him that paper could be made of the
stalk if suitable machinery could be de-
vised for reducing it to a pulp. After
many discouragements the task was
accomplished, and of the first batch of
pulp manufactured. a Northern paper
mill recently made enough sugar cane
plper to print one edition of the New
Orleans Picay,tne. a copy of the pa
per now i'll hand is substantial and
tough, with fair color and smooth sur
faces. 1t is claimed for it that it will
be specially desirable for use on fast
printing presses, and that its manuflc-
ture, which is now regarded as a pey-
manent enterprise, will add largely to
the wealth of Louisiana, as well as tend
still further to simplify the problem of
paper making.

Instinct and Intelligence in Sheep

James Hogg, the shepherd poet, has
related many interesting incidents in
his experience. Among these is that
the Sleeps sense of hearing is SO acute
that she can distinguish the cry of her
owr lamb among "a thousand bleat-
ing at the same time; and the lamb is
able to recognize its mothers voice
even though it be in the midst of large
flock.
IN relation to the mystilication of the
lambs over their dams after the latter
had been shorn, he says while the sheep
were Icing shorn the lambs would be
put into fold by themselves and the
former he sent to join their little ones
as soon as the operation of shearing
was over. The moment a lamb heard
its mothers voice it would hasten from
the crowd to meet her. Instead of fin1
ing the rough, well-clad MANN,
which it had left short time before,
would meet a strange and most deplor-
able creature. At the sight of this it
would wheel about, uttering a most
pit~ouG cry of despair. Soon, how
ever, the sleeps voice was heard again !;
the lamb would thereupon return, then
once more bound away, and sometimes
repeat this conduct ten or dozen
times before it fully understood that the
shorn eve was in reality its mother.

Two Ideas OF Education.

The New England idea, embodied al
ready III the statutes of Connecticut,
1914, and Massachusetts,, 1647, that the
State should look after and provide
for popular and elementary educa-
ton, so rs to fit all, and especially the
poor, for the duties of citizenshi and
leave the higher education to be main
tanned by private benevolence, aiding
only in exigcncies where sucn
help seemed necessary, was quite diff
.ferent from the Southern course, which
left the question of schools to individu-
ais, asking the State not TO educate the
common people, but TO found uni
versity. The sequel has, think, justi
fed the New England plan, and the
higher education can be very safely left
to private benevolence; but it would
hardly be wise to try this just now in
the South. In most Southern States
good State institution. with large me ms
conferred upon it by the State, may
ser as a model and spur for all the
weaker, denominational and other in
stitutions, and in some sections these
are q necessity.-Atlantic Monthly.

n SlhANOE pHcuOulCHOu oCCuiItu
during a storm on n recent evening in
the vicinity of the Board of Trade
tower-light, in Chicago. 1t was none
other than a shower of birds. The
next morning when the Waterman made
his rounds at daylight he found the
sidewalks and streets m front of the
tower fairly covered with dead birds of
all sorts. A little later the electrician
came down, and when he saw the great
pile of birds he said that it was the
electric light at the top of the tower.
When he went up to the lantern with
several members of the Board of Trade,
the roof was found to be covered with
dead birds, and each of the lamps in
the big circle of light was filled W tn
them; one globe had eight birds in it,
two being still alive. These birds were
of every known variety, and many I'M
known, or rather unfamiliar, species
were among the lot. All shades and
colors were there, scarlet, blue, pink,
red, canary, notified black and white,
and there were some snipe and plover
among them. The theory is that they
we're migratory focks, going from
south to north, and were attracted by
the great light, which the moment they
touched killed them. The birds were
all of the small species, the gipe be-
ing the largest, and this kind usually
fly lower than ducks and geese, about
300 feet high. The great light is just
at that height, and accounts for the
destruction of the birds. There were
millions of them, enough to trim all
the ladies' hats in Illinois.

Il don't know that the public have any
right to know what our real strength is.
We are stronger and better organized
than people have any idea of We have
college in Now Jersey where the mem
bers are taught how to use dynamite
and Greek fire. We have rifle corps
organized, not to provoke fight, but
to be able to cope successfully with the
police and militia when the struggle
which is bound to come is on us. The
Chicago fight is simply the first gun in
the revolution Our brothers there
did nobly, but they were not as well
prepared as they might have been, or
more of the blue-coats would have got
their last dose. Our motto is, Neither

be simply stated as Down with Church,

ACCORDING to the calculations made
by scientific writer lately, it requires
prodigious amount of vegetable mat
ter to form layer of coal, the esti-
mate being that it would really take
million years to form a coal-bed one
hundred feet thick. The United States
has an area of between 800, 600 and
100000 square miles of coal fields,
100000 tons of coal being mined
from these fields in one year, or
enough to run ring around the earth
at the equator five and one-half feet
wide and five and one-half feet thick,
the quantity being sufficient to supply
the whole world for period OF 1900 to
1000 years.
