The train from Nashville, over the
Louisville & Nashville road, composed In
part Of the two special coaches of the

iiyc minutes late yesterday afternoon. Tho
delay was attributed solely 10 the add.

rendered II impossible for them 10 find n
stopping place under the depot shed, but
were left standing east OF Second street,
the boudor car occupied by Mr.. Booth,
MIR Barrett and Mr.. Arthur X. Chasc,
director Of the tragcdians, being at
the extreme end. TO reach the plat.
form, tho actors and actresses had
20 wade through mud two inches deep on
Second street. From expressions falling
irum their lips, Il was apparent that the
ladies' and gentlemen were not charmed
beyond measure by the experience. No
time was lost IN entering hacks and omni.
buses, IN which they wcp driven rapidly
b. the Gayos0 hotel. A the distinguished
tragcdians marched through the long
depot building. they were closely scanned
by fully 100 men and boys, who had ~.

Inspecting them. II was their only chance
90 see the visitors without rendering uthcs

COLUMBIA ATHENEUM.
THE QUESTION OF ITS EXEMPTION
FROM TAXATION.
The Supreme Court Reverses the De-
cree OF the Chancellor The Cand-
ler-Kery Abbott Combination--Hunts-
Vile g. Edora Politics.

Special Dispatch 10 the Appeal.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. ga case OF
no little interest to the friends of educa-
tonal institutions throughout the State
was decided in the supreme court this
morning. II is the case OF the State of
Tennessee, the county of Maury and the
mayor and city council of Columbia
against X. ID. Smith ct al. The suit was
brought to recover taxes for the past six
years on the property known as the Co
lumbia atheneum. The payment OF taxes
was resisted on the ground that the legis-
latiye charter exempted the property from
taxation, and the State, county and city
have for thirty-two years recognized the
Justice Of the exemption.
Section OF the charter, granted by the
Legislature in 1856, provides that: "rhe
grounds, buildings, ETC., shall be exempted
from taxation while appropriated for the
use OF the Columbia atheneum for educa-
tional purposes" II is claimed by the
State that the exemption is void because
the grounds, buildings, ETC., are now APP
propriated to the use, not OF the Columbia
athenpum but 10 the use Of X. ID. Smith
& Bro. for educational purposes. The
chancellor decided in favor Of the defend
ant, but the supreme court, Justice Lurton
delivering the opinion, reversed the decree
and gave verdict for taxes for the years
lSSS-6-7.
From this decree Of the court Justice
Folkes dissented in very vigorous opin-
ion. lie insisted that the court to arrive
at the opinion delivered was forced to in.
torpolaie the act Of the Legislature incor-
porating the Columbus Athen@um. lie
said that the words appropriated Tor the
use, etc, could not well mean that the
title must be vested. In closing his
minority opinion he said "When diller
