We see by the PhIllipsburg papers
that President Low, of the c. K. & n q,
has written q letter to C. A. Spaulding
in which he says that the division, both
passenger and freight, has been estab-
lished at that city and that the same is
there to stay. That settles it, Low
don't say much but when he does speak
he usually means exactly what he says.
Smith Centre Bulletin.
It appears that the article in the
Kansas City Journal a short time ago
to the effect that the @. K. & n, round
house was to be removed from Phillips
burg was without foundation. We are
very glad for our sister town, as the re-
port has gained q wide circulation and
while in our opinion it would not re-
tard the growth of that city, it is ex-
tremely annoying to have such reports
in circulation. We hope that Phillips
burg may always retain its present
faciiit es and that they may increase.
The probabilities are that the citizens
of that town had failed to pay the
Journals young man for q write up,
and In revenge the false report was
started. Philipsburg will be benefit
ted in the main by having the report
started.-Smith Center Pioneer.

dilapidated pocket-book containing four
silver dimes.

along with him and carry the fish, but he
exacted security from him, as he was afraid

fish. The negro handed over his pocket
kuife which Grimes accepted.
When Grimes returned to his sloop, he
returned the knife, and after survey of his
furniture, finding that none of it had been

and money. Grteu, however, went to one

THE LAMAR CASE.
Judge Speer to Render His Decision
Tomorrow Morning.

JuOSe Spo6r TO R9nQ0r his decision
Tomorrow Morning.
There was no session of the United States
Court yesterday, Judge Emory Speer hav-
ing gone home to Macon to remain over
Sunday. He announced before his depart
ure that he will on Monday render his de-
cision in the important case of Jones, adj
ministrator of Gazaway B. Lamar, VS.. Mrs
Caroline A. Lamar, administrative, and
others, the children of the late Charles A.
l.. Lamar.
This case involves in the neighborhood of
$500, 600 and about eighty acres of valuable
city property, near the lower compress and
wharves. The property has been lying I'M
improved for a great many years, mainly
on account of this litigation, and the de-
cision is anxiously awaited, not only by the
parties but by many interested in the flu
ture of Savannah.
No inkling of the Judges conclusions can
be obtained. 1t appeared on the argument
that the inclination of his mind was toward
the defendants, but the length of time taken
for consideration leaves it entirely in doubt
On Monday morning also the interesting
case of the Crumbie children VS.. Henry r.
Jackson will be taken up.
The court will convene tomorrow morn
ing at $50 o'clock.

MUST RETURN EVERY SHARE.
The Supreme Court and the Loan Asso-
Citations.

Citations.
The recent decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of McGowan, Tax Collector, VS.
the Savannah Mutual Loan Association has
fallen into the camp of the building associa-
tions like n bombshell.
Tax Receiver Dillon required the Presi-
dents of the associations to return the mar
ket value of such shares of their stock as
had not been loaned on real estate. Or
in other words to exempt shares where
money had been borrowed upon them for
the purchase or Improvement of real estate.
The associations contended that all stocks
which had been loaned on for any purpose
were exempt from taxation.
An execution was issued by the Tax Col
lector and the Sheriff made a levy, but the
association resisted and took the case TO the
Superior Court, and, on the plea of Illegal
ity, Judge Adams decided in favor Of the
association. The case was taken to the
Supreme Court, which has reversed the
decision of the lower court.
The ruling of the Supreme Court must
have gone further than the plaintiffs in
error asked, for under the Instructions of
the Comptl oller General to the Tax
Receivers, the associations will not be as
literally dealt with as before the suit was
instituted in the lower court. The follow
ing is q copy Of the letter of instruction re-
ceiver by Tax Receiver Dillon yesterday:

DEAR SIR-By a recent decision of the Su
preme Court OF this State, in the case of Nc

citation, 1t has been held that Presidents of all

stock of their associations to the Tax Receivers
of the counties in which their associations are
located at their true market value, on the 1st
day of April, without regard 10 the provlso in
section of general tax act of 1886. You will
therefore require the returns of this property on
this basis. Yours respectfully,
