AN EXPORTING MASTER.
An Irish Landlord who Subjects His
Tenants to the Worst Forms OF Land.
lordiSm.


CHIcAG Ills, Jan. 25.
The Tribune today devotes four columns
TO the career of VIM. Scully. at present of
London, England, who, it is claimed, owns
large tracts of American land. and testimony
is offered to show that he has introduced the
Irish landlord system in the nsgement of
his American properties. The paper in its
allegations saws
"Scully is one of the chief figures among
the alien proprietors of American soil and
has introduced the meanest features of the
worst forms of Irish lsndlordism on his es-
tates in this country. He has acquired in the
neighborhood of 90, 900 acres of land in Him
ois alone at merely q nominal figure of fifty
cents TO one dollar His career as an Irish
landlord was u history of oppression and ex-
tortion that was appropriately finished by a
bloody encounter with his tenants. He was
tried and acquitted on the charge Of double
murder. but became So unpopular that in 1850
he sold the most of his Irish property and has
since devoted himself to building up the land
lord system in Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and
other States. He made entries of the public
domain through the medium of land warrants
issued to Mexican soldiers, which he pur-
chased at a rate of fifty cents per acre In
Logan county, Ills, alone he has 10000 to
4, 900 acres.
1t ls the almost universal testimony that
Scully's rule in that country has reduced 250
tenants and their families to a condition of
approaching serfdom. Furthermore Scully
payssno taxes, the tenants signing iron clad
agreements to assume the same, bu, they are
required TO pay Scully's agents tax money Al

each year-whereas agents need not turn over
the tax to the county treasurer till about the

MAINE DINP4TlHES.
DECISION RENDERED
In the U. y. Supreme Court In the Case
of T.. y. COe vs.. Town OF Enrol, N. Fl.

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.
Tho supreme court today decided the case
f. s. Coe, plaintiff in error, vs.. Town Of
Enrol, in error to the supreme court of New
Hampshire. The plaintiff and others, resi-
dents of Maine and Massachusetts, owned .
large number OF spruce logs that had b, en-
drawn down from Wenthworth's location in
New Hampshire to the town Of Enrol to be
thence foated DOWN the And-os % .gin river
to the State Of Maine, to be manufactured
and sold. While the logs remained at Errol
the sFlectmen Of the town appraised them for
taxation and Assessed thereon a State, county,
town and school TAX. Another lot of logs
belonging to COe, which had been cut in the
State of Maine and were on their way to
Lewiston, Me. and which were detained in
IN he-town Of Errol by low water were also
assessed for taxes. The plaintiff filed a pc
titlon in the supreme court for an abatement
of taxes. That court decided thai the tax
assessed on the logs cut in the State of
Maine be abated and upon the log. cut in
New Hampshire be sustained. The petitioner
took bill of exceptions and upon a writ o..
error carried the case to the supreme CO urt
of the United States. The question in the
case is whether the products of the State is
are liable to be taxed like other property
within the State though intended for exporta-
ton to another STATE and partially
prepared for that purpose by being deposited
at the place of shipment, and such products
being owned by persons residing in another
State. Justice Bradley delivered the opinion
of the cour.. He held -
That until actually launched on their way
to another State or until committed to a COM
mon carrier tor transportation to such State
tine destination otthe property is not fixed and
certain. Carrying it to depot is only an
interior movement entirely within the State
and putting it into course of expectation is
not expectation itself Until shipped and
started on its final journey out of the State
its expectation Is matter altogether in fere
and not at all an affixed and certain thing
Property thus situated. he held, can be taxed
as all o:her property is taxed in the place
where it is found II taxed or assessed for
taxation at the usual time and manner which
sucb property Is taxed and not singled out To
be assessed bv itself at an unususl and ex-
ccptIonal time because OF its destination, if
taxed in the usual manner that other similar
property is taxed and at the same rate ard
subject to like conditions and regulations the
tax is valid These conditions having been
complied with in the present case the judg
ment of the supreme court of Nv Hamp-
shire is affirmed.

Another victim is counted by the Cedar
street fire Of last night, Mrs. Michael Caile-
han dying after nine hours of intense suffer
ing 1t is stated today that the Mehan woman
instead of dying of sufiocation must have
died OF heart disease, as her husband who was
in bed with her was uninjured by the smoke.
If this theory is correct she must have been
dead before the fire broke out She had been
in delicate health and a sufferer from heart

with some suspicion and are investigating.
The fire originated from an over-hested coal
stove setting fir to Mrs. Csllehan's bed.

A Woman's Devotion.

From an Exchange.
When Mr.. Widgeon came home last
evening the first thing that he said to his
esteemed wife was: MARY, l have Joined
the Knights of Labor
She glared at him with an expression
that set his teeth on edge as she cried:
"A Knight of Labor, eh? You'll
make sweet old Knight of Labor"
why, Mary, its noble organization,
and"
Eyes, I know it is; and now l suppose
you'll be a walking delegate or chairman
of the committee on boycotting while Pm
hustling around in the back yard trying
to rake enough wood together to make a
fire! know you, Widgeon; in my mind s
eve see you addressing large and en-
thusiastic audience and telling your
brethren in toll to shake off the giant
grasp of monopoly that is crushing the
life blood from them; but you don't tell
them how your wife is down in the cellar
wrestling with barrel of apples or trying
to plug up the hole in the stOvepipe with
q piece of carpet"
II can imagine you filling the air with
eloquenee about the horny-handed work
ingmen andan injury to one being the con-
Germ of all; but l can't fancy you mailing
a few shingles on the roof to keep the
water from soaking the flour barrel.
II want you to understand, John Hen
~, that you have joined enough orders al
ready; you are High Key Bearer of the
Knights of Gambrinus, Past Grand Chief
tain of the Royal Order of Free Lunch
Hunters, Supreme Chancellor of the An
Gent Order of Dog Catchers, and l don't
know what else.
az have seen you carrying banners and
drilling and attending conventions until
my soul is weary; and unless you stay
home and act as Right Worthy Grand
Chief Coal Carrier and Wood Sawyer, you
will think you are married to an equinOc-
tial cyclone.
Just drop that book Of constitutions
and bylaws and trot down to the butch
er's for few spare ribs, or there will be
about a dozen lodges in mourning to-mor-
row, and some one else will be Grand
Key Bearer"
Mr. Widgeon didn't like the looks of
this and concluded to insure his life in q
regular company.
