Treasurer Tate's Office vas submitted
to the Kentucky Legislature, last Tues
day. It contained no sensational dis.
closures, the deficit being placed in the
neighborhood of $2S0,000, the sun
already named. This may be reduced to
5000, 900 If certain papers prove good.
OF the seven schedules attached to the
report, the most engaging is that which
relates to miscellaneous due bills and
evidences of indebtedness due j. W.
Tate, treasurer, and in his own right.
Twenty-seven type. written pages are
included in the statement and the total
amount evidenced as due is $59 1852 80.
II il estimated by those who ought to
know that not exceeding One-third OF
the amount is subject to collection for
the very good reasOu mat a majority OF
the due bills have been cancelled long
ayo, but carelessIy left in the treasury.
The report shows that the greatest
carelessness prevailed in the %treasurer's
office during Tate's regime.

The United States supreme court has
rendered a decision in a case involving
the right of the state OF Virginia to tax
rolling stock OF the Baltimore u Ohio
railroad, a Maryland corporation. The
railroad company resisted payment q
the tax on the ground that it applied
only to domestic roads, and an iniunc.
ton restraining the auditor from seiz.
ing its property was issued by the
circuit court. The case went there Oh
appeal from that court. The court
holds that while it cannot be denied
that the state has the power by appro.
pirate legislation to tax rolling stock Of
y company not organized under the
state laws, II careful review of the acl
ia question shows hat il was intended
to apply only to domestic roads and
not to outside roads doing business
within the state. Judgement affirmed

New York city, and though only thirty
eight years of age at his death last Sep

worth between SAC, 900 and $4,000. His
store and business, valued at $4,000 or
over, he gave to faithful emplOye. He
was much devoted to the Catholic church
and bequeathed $4,000 of his money
to charitable institutions connected
with the same. The residue was dis

though Michael received recognition
only by his children being left $1,000

$4,000 are void, and that this sum will
be available for distribution among the
six remaining children, Michael's por-

The matter is before the courts, and

Aid. Mills, johnson, Vogt and Morse,
the committee recently appointed by
the council to confer with the st. Anth-
Ony Water Power company, in regard
to the water troubles, met Col. Benton
and Engineer Tanning at Col. Benton's
Office yesterday morning and held a
lengthy conference in regard to the
matter. City Attorney Smith was not
present, and messenger was sent for
him. The situation was informally dis
cusSed while the party was waiting for
him. Col. Benton, speaking of the
city'S right to use water, said:
"You are not entitled to a single
pound of power. As to water for the
city for drinking purposes that is an
other thing. You use ten times as much
for power as you do for the city,
''Well, what does your company con-

Morse.

discussion followed in regard to the
amount of water used. Engineer Faii-
ming said it could be easily measured
by. the stroke of the pump. At this
point it was learned that City Attorney
Smith was sick in bed. An adjourn

Something woke me up, | don't know

husband what it was, and he said it was
some one killing dog. We got up then,

and went with them, over to the turn

said Julius Heyn had gone away on
the car. We found a pair of slippers
close by the car track, near the ceme-
terry gate, on Cedar avenue"
On the crOSS-eXaminatiOn, MI. Davis
asked her if she had ever told any one
about hearing more than two shots. She
said she told about dozen persons at
the turntable that night.
''They did not agree with you about
there being more than two shots, did
they?" asked MIR. Davis.
They agreed Oh the number of shots
better then than they do now,' an
Swered the witness.
81 am sure l heard three shots: they
were right together. The bowling |
heard was not like the screaming of a
human being; it did not seem as though
a human being could make such noise.
The bowling stopped after the last shot;
the last howl was quite low, compared
with the first ones" Court then ad-
