GET BACK ALL THEIR TAXES.
Decision Against the City and for
Insurance Companies.

BY a recent decision OF the Court Of Ap-
peals the Fire and Marine Insurance Com
panies Of this city are not obliged to pay
taxes on 500. 900, 900 OF capital stock
assessed against them, and are entitled to
sue the city and recover for taxes on such
stock paid since 1880.
Representatives Of the companies and the
Tax Commissioners are in consutation this
afternoon over this serious situation.
In 1886 all act was passed by the LeGsla-
ture ostensibly to relieve the companies Of
an onerous burden OF taxation.
President Coleman, of the Tax Commits
sion, contended that 1t relieved the COM
panies from paying any local taxes.
Tho representative Of the insurance COM
panies said this was not intended, and that
they would pay their tax on capital stock as
usual.
President Coleman asked Gov. Hill not to
sign the bill, but he took the advice OF
Attorney General O'Bren, aud the bill ho-
came a law.
The companies all kept faith and paid the
tax until last year, when the Commonwc alth
Insurance Company brought action to pre-
vent payment.
June II the Court OF Appeals handed
down a decision in the Company's favor,
Judge OBrien not voting because OF his
previous action as Attorney General.
Should the other companies not keep
their agreement and pay this wear,
tho city will lose about s5G. 900 in
taxes, besides having to pay the State tax on
the assessment, which was made before the
decision OF the Court of Appeals was
handed down.
While the amount OF the assessment is
s85. 900. 900, this is scaled down to about
80. 900, 900 by Investment in Govern nent
bonds, &c.
Commissioner Coleman said that the law
will be amended at the next session Of the
Legislature.

and they are trying to hold Mr.. Morton
personally responsible, on the ground
that the Company did not go to the bank
with oil its officers and ask for the loan.
The bank claims the full value OF the
lumber, S12, 900, but they neglect to say
what their lien upon the property was.
F" Within the last two years there we're
probably pledged upward of six or seven
hundred carloads OF lumber representing

while.
- Instead Of waiting the bank rushed
right away and brought suit. The whole
transaction is piece OF persecution"
Mr.. Morton is about forty-seven years
old. He employs about six hundred men
in his lumber mills in Oakville, w. Va
and does an enormous business in Eng

Morton's counsel said they intended to
go before the Supreme Court this after
noon and get an order to show cause why
the order of arrest should not be vacated.
If that fails. they will give bonds for his
appearance when wanted, so that he will
not have to spend another night in Jail.

But in vain, Pale and silent, he roamed
restlessly to and fro upon the public prone
nades, or wandered away to hide his wretch

Sometimes he would mingle with the gay

He had seen and experienced the evil OF that

ago he had vowed never to play, and he had
kept his oath. for no card had ever been
touched by his hand. Even now, when he

then, looking Oh with some little interest At

shudder, turn suddenly away, and not re-
turn again for days.
Nothing could be more regular than his
