The Commissioners Report FavorabIy
Upon an Important Local Bill.

The Commissioners Report FavorabIy
Upon an Important Local Bill.
The District Commissioners have
recommended favorable action upon
Senate bill 9G3O, "For the relief Of
holders of District of Columbia special
assessment certificates and for other
purposes" which was referred to them
by Senator Ingalls, for opinion. In their
report they say.
"The necessity for the relief this
measure contemplates arise through no
laches of the holders of the liens in
question, but through the action of the
public authorities in the following
ways
al. BY acts of Congress remitting
taxes on the property subject to tax
lien, as in the act for the relief of the
heirs of Cornelius j. Boyle and the act
for the relief of Eliza W. Patterson.
g. BY act OF. Congress retroactively
exempting property of religious and
charitable organizations, as the act re-
lieviDg parsonage property and orphan
asylums of all taxes prior to July 1, 1874,
upon payment of all taxes accrued since
that date.
20. Where the collection of the tax
upon which the lien Is based is re-
strained by the courts.
a. Where property encountered by
tax lien came into possession of the
United States by escheat or gift, or of
the United States or District of Colum-
bia by gift or purchase, and the unpaid
assessments against the same thereby
became void.
"'5. BY the omission of the amount
of unpaid tax from the certificates of
arrealages of taxes required to be given
by the collector by act of Congress
of February 2, 1870, which directs that
said omissions shall operate to relieve
the property affected from further pur-
suit for such tax liens against such
property Of their security.
IS. BY reductions and cancellations
of special assessments made in the
course of revision and corrections of
such assessments under acts of June
10, 1878, and June "a, 1872
1.-The claims for amount of reduc-
ton in special assessments mentioned
in the bill grew out of the provision in
the, act of June 26 1873, limiting the
benefit of revision to those who had
paid their special assessments prior to
June 10, 1873. This provision was ap-
parently designed to extend to those
who had paid their special assessments,
the relief given by the act OF June,
1878, to those only whose special as
sessments were unpaid, and not to ex-
clude from such relief those who paid
after that date. A number of these
payments were made after June 1S,
1878, but, before the completion of the
revision of the assessments, upon the
promise, II is claimed, of the then Com
missioners that, if such payments were
found by the revision to have been ex-
cessive, the amount of the reduction
would be refunded The Commits
sioners know Of no good reason why
these claims should not be allowed.
"The amount involved in this bill
will not exceed $4,000"

Terrible crime by an Eleven Year
ola hoy.
MEMitrIs, TENN, March 24.-A
special TO the Appcal from Somerville,
Tenn, says: "A murder was COM
mitted here this morning, the victim
being Mrs. Sally Hobson, colored, and
the murderer her 11-year. r.old boy. Mrs.
Hobson was a servant in the family OF
the Episcopal minister and lived with
her four children in small house in
the rear of the parsonage.
"This morning her husband, who had
been in the country at work, called at
the house in company with another
negro, and after short stay started out
for work. Returning a half hour later
a terrible sight met his eyes On one
side of the door lay the decapitated re.
mains of his wife, and several feet
away the head. a stick of wood on
which her neck had been placed when
the cutting was done showed three dis
tinct cuts of an axe.
"The boy was found playing with
the other children, his clothing satu-
rated with blood. He at first claimed
that the blood came from q chicken
which, he had killed. but at the cor
oner's inquest he admitted that he had
committed the crime. He said his
mother laid her head down on the block
and told him if he did not cut her head
off she would kill him. The boys
story is not believed, and he was placed
in Jail pending further investigation.

Army and Navy officers are receiving

Chicago, the McCalla case in Brooklyn,
and the Healy case in San Francisco. In
each case the commanding officer is be.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Volume of Business Larger Tha
in Any Previous Year.

The Volume of Business Larger Than
in Any Previous Year.
New YORK, March 24.-The business of
to day is large, says r. G. Dun & Co.'S
Heekiy Rerleic OF Trade, but signs are not
entirely fiattering as to the business of to-
morrow. Another belated fragment OF
winter, which would have been welcome
in January, came just in time to disturb
trade little, but the volume of business is
indisputably larger than in any previous
year at this season. The tonnage shipped
Eastward by rail from Chicago continues
larger than ever Railroad earnings thus
far reported for March exceed those Of any
previous year.
Bank clearings at New ork show gain
over last year of 3! per cent. at Boston,
Philadelphia and Chicago of IL per cent,
and at all other cities of II per cent. All
the signs prove that actual shrinksge of
consumption is confined to few lines only,
principally those affected directly by the
absence of winter, but that in other
branches consumption is larger than at any
former time. In some cases, as in iron, the
only difficulty or danger comes from the
fact that consumption clearly the largest
ever known is probably surpassed by a
production far beyond all records. Re-
ports from every part of the country re-
present trade as fairly satisfactory.

He Says He Is Not the Author of the
Charges Against MiZen.
. JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 24.-
United States Senator Call arrived here
last night With reference TO the pub
lished statements regarding his en-
counter with United States Marshal
Mizell on Saturday, he said he did not
think the subject was fitting one for
newspaper controversy. The report
published, he declared. was incorrect
He admitted that Mr.. Mi2ell had used
language toward him as substantially
stated. He denied that he had asserted
that he would have killed lIizell but for
the presence, of Mrs. Call. He merely
told Mizell that he was at all times
responsible for his conduct. Mr.
Mizell becoming satisfied that his
remarks and manner of approach were
improper, voluntarily withdrew and
apologized. The matter was settled
satisfactorily to both parties He de-
MED being the author Of the charges
against Mizell. He has written no let
tiers with regard to Mizell's private life,
but had merely placed some letters and
documents sent to him respecting
Mizell, but not his private life, before
the proper authorities.
