TAX ON B. 8 0. BRIDGES.
Hearing In The InIunstiOR Continued By the
UnitSd States Court.

UnitSd States Court.
The fact was announced during the re-
cent session Of the United States District
Court here that Judge Jackson had grant
ed q temporary injunction against the
State officers and shsriHs Of Wood and
Marshall counties to prohibit them from
the collection Of State and county taxes
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad bridges
across the Ohio at ParkersbuEg and Benz
wood.
The questions raised by the pleading in.
yolyed the right Of the State OF West Viz
ginia to tax thesetWo bridges as independ-
emit subjects OF taxation. The claim Of
the company Is that they are not indie
pendent subjects Of taxation, but arc q
part and a portion OF continuous line OF
railroad belonging to the company, and
are only shsble to taIation as Q part .oi
that railroad, like any other bridge on the
line. The company further contends that
inasmuch as the Ohio now 10 national
highway, under the control and jurisdiC'
ton Of the Government OF the United
States, neither the State 81 West Virginia
nor any other State on the borders Of the
river has a right to impose q tax on q
bridge built under an act Of Congress,
There are other minor questions involved,
but these are the principal ones, The
motion to make the injunction perpetual
was to have been argued at Parkersburg
this week, but Judge jackson continued
the hearing Of the appeal until the June
term, where it will be heard before al
three Judges-0hiet Justice Waite, Cir
cult Judge Bond and District Judge Jack
son, The amount OF money involved i
very large, no taxes ever having been paid
by the railroad company on these bridges
since they were built,

Shy Of Poison,

FTeNl NC WlANFNVlVN DuAV FVsi
A very insidIous form OF poison and one
which largely affects not only the health
but the lives OF children, is that which
comes in the form OF popular cough medi-
clnes, Nine out OF ten OF these, contain
narcotics or deadly metallic oxides, The
difficulty, however, has been to find SUBJ
stituts for such things which would be
purely vegetable, and at the same time
effect prompt cure. That such dfsCoV.
cry has been made was announced re-
Gently, and DR.. o. Grothe, chemist to the
Brooklyn Board OF Health, publicly Certi-
fed that he had analysed the remedy, and
found 1t free from narcotics and opiates
and q happy and effective combination.
Dr.. Samuel X, Cox, an expert analytical
chemist Of this city, also analysed 1t, Civ.
ing public testimony as to its purity and
efficacy, and q reporter OF the Pot was
told by him that he believed 1t marked o
new stage in the treatment Of throat and
lung diseases, Hon. j. q. s. Blackburn,
U. s. Senator from Kentucky, on being
approached, said he had used the remedy
with marked effect. It had removed all
irritation from his throat and relieved a
cough which troubled him much,
United States Senator German, OF Mary
land, said that he firmly believed in the
remedy, which he had personally tested.
Congressman Bagley, OF New York Mitch
Ter, OF Pennsylvania; Brewer, Of New Jer-
sey, and Holton, Of Maryland, were EN-.
phatic in their endorsement Of the remedy
in question, which Is Red Star Cough
Cure. II Is free from oFiates or poisonB
and Is purely vegetable.
A phyaician who stands In close rela.
ton 10 the Board Of Health Of the District
Of Columbia said that there are two things
which seriously Affect the health OF the
ple,-impure water, and impure drugs.
and therefore the benefits OF q discovery
like Red Star Cough Cure cannot be over
estimated. Thousands Of children die an.
nualIy from the use Of cough and sooth.
ing mixtures containing opiates or poisons,
and even adults are exposed TO the danger
Of blood poisoning from such cause. In
view Of these facts members Of Boards oil
Health In various cities; public men Of
Maryland, from the Governor down, and
leading praCticing physicians throughout
that State have over their own signatures
testified that Red Star Cough Cure, which
by the way costs but twenty-five cents,
cannot fail to be q boon to the suffering
and afflicted. The reporters investiga.
tons were thorough and unprecedented,
and the testimony obtained, judging from
Its character, cannot be gainsAid.

A BOY BADLYBUnNED


IJy the Explosion of Gasoline Lamp.
Almost y Fire,
Yesterday afternoon a boy nam'd Joe
Peters, employed at Prachps bakery, on
Main street south OF Ninth, was engaged
in putting FIRE wood into the oven furnace,
by the light Of a small gasoline lamp, when
the gas In the lamp became ignited in
some way and caused an explosion. The
flaming fluid was thrown into the boys
face and drenChed his hands, burning
both painfully, singing his eyebrows an
hair, and running down upon the floor,
set fire to the building also.
An alarm was rung In from box 10, at
the corner OF Ninth street, but the flames
were put out by means OF q hand hose be.
fore the arrival Of the department, which
made good time.
The boys injuries were dressed by DR..

40 Remove Nathan Bell, the Ohio HOrs'
Thief, over to BIldEspOEt-A HabsaS Cor

Accompanies Nothing bat Delay.

The deputy sheriff from Holmes county,
Ohio, who left here for Charleston last
Sunday, armed with 9 requisltion from
the Governor Of Ohio for Nathan Bell,
alias Burt, arrested here for stealing a
horse at Millersburg, Ohio, returned to
the city early yesterday morning with
Gov. Wilson'S warrant upon the Sheriff Of
Ohio county for Bell. Col. Arnstt, Rttor-
ney for the prisoner, heard Of the coming
OF the officer, and at o o'clock on Tuesday
aight he applied to Judge Boyd for writ
ofhabeas corpus, and it was granted, re-
turnable on April 3, When Judge Boyd
heard Of the arrival Of the officer yester-
day, however, he at once returned to
the city from MoundsvIlle, and made the
writ returnable at Ar. NJ. yesterday.
Atthat time Col, Arnett argued thai
Judge Boyd should order Bells discharge,
on the ground Of noncompliance OF Gov
ernor Wilson's warrant with the deci'
sions Of the courts, as to the essentials
warrant should set forth on its face
Prosecuting Attorney Jordan held that the
warrant fully complied with the require
msnts Oithe Constitution oil the United
States aud the act OF Congress,
Judge Boyd, in giving his opinion said
the warrant was all that the act OF Con
Rress required, and as to the West yir
ginis statute on the subject, he thought II
con tllCted with the act OF Congress,
The application was therefore dis
mlssed, and the prisoner surrendered Y
the authorities Of Ohio, who at once tool
him over to the Ohio side oil the river.
From the jail on EoR street to tn
corner OF Ohapline aud Twelfth, Bel
fought hercey and continually. The twI
Ohio officers were assisted In conveying
4 their man by Officer LGkens, who made
the arrest, and who goes to Ohio as q wit
mesa against Ball, It was all the three
men could do TO manage him, On Chap
line street q Bridgeport lumber wagon wal
found, and II was impressed into service
a. q "BlaCk Maria" Bell still fought, ant

he had to be tied on the wagon, and ther
the officers sat on him to keep him from
Kicking the ropes loose. At Bridgeport

II Is said here that there is stronI
circumstantial evidence to show that Bel
was the party who short time ago gtolt
fine team from n man named Miller
living in Holmes county, and that be j
suspected OF being concerned in the thei
OF a dozen horses In that part Of Ohio
running through some time past, and 1t i
suspected that his unusual aversion Il
going to Ohio is born Of fear that tn
