The question whether or not the Norfolk

likely 20 change hands. based as II IS on
the rumors to that effect which have been
in circulation here for several days, IS very
generally discussed here to-day. Though
General Mshone's name is very generally
mentioned ms one of the purchasing syndi-
cate. and Senators Cameron OF fennsyl-
vania and Plumb Of Kansas are spoken
OF as other capitalists therein. there II
no means of verifying the reports mere.
Wellinsormed railroad-men do not
give credence Ia tho reports. lhey
say that Senator Cameron u not recog-
nizod az ralroad-man or invester; [;
that Senator Plumb Is more OF specu-
lator than ANYTHING else. ,and that II any
such change Is IL contemplation, u woulu
most likely have leaked out from
some one of the great railroad and hnan-
cial centres in the North. " II would take
a vast amount of money" said thorough
Iyinformed man to-day, from thirty to htty
millions OF dollars to Obtain control OF the
Norfolk and Western. All the directors;
stockholders, and managers OF the road
are largely Interested III valuable proper
ties along the line-in cities aud towns
and mines, and furnaces, and such IKE,
the value of Which can hardly be esti-
mated. and these properties would have to
be considered in any change that is con-
templated.n
And yet there are many people who be-
heve that there is some truth IN these re-
ports. One gentleman suggested that tue
Richmond and Danville may have hand
in the matter, and that the surveying
party pat in the field at Danville may have
been little diversion toaccomplish an end.

WHY lie Mnnted 90 Pay More Taxes.

WANTS TO PAY MoRE TAxgs-Richmond can
boast of ~ least one truly patriotic ciuIon.
When the real ostato assessors went around yes
efday he actually besought them 10 Increase
the valuation OF his properly, which he claimed
was worth a great deal more than tue sum az
which they had it appraised.
RICHMOND. Va. March 2G, 1890.
To he Eddor Of tie DispQtct:
Dear Sir.-The enclosed piece cut from
your paper of the 26th presume aludes
to myself. have no disposition TO appear
in public print.
The facts in the case are that property
on nv block has been assessed at $50 per
foot, which | consider a fair valuation.
certainly not lees than it is worth, and /
think the assessOrs did wrong in lowering
the price. and therefore gave them my
opinion. The piece of property adjoining
me on one side / offered the owner $50 per
foot cash for in the last ten days, which
was refused On the other side OF my
property offered the owners tC5 per foot
cash, which they refused. With these facts
before the commissioners lsaw no good rea-
son for reducing the assessment to S4s.
NV idea of the law Is that property
should be assessed at its fair cash value or
as near 20 it az the assessors can estimate.
The city has 10 run the government and
keep its streets in order on the taxes or
her citizens. and il the same line Of pro-
ceedng is adopted in tho balance Of the
city as was done on my square do not see
how Richmond is to go on improving with
ont increasing her bonded Indebtedness
beyond It's present limits. | do not wish
to pay any moro than my far proportion
of taxes, but did not think it just to allow
the assessors 10 FIX price of $48 per foot
for what the owners had refused $50 cash
in the past ten days. | have the highest
regard fOr the gentlemen in question and
they NAV be right and | wrong.
Yours very respectfully. NIX

Philadelphia paper:
Major John ID. Baird. of Belle Island,
Va, has sent relic gift. through +. q.
Steane. for George &. Meade Post. No. l,
this city. with q note which explains the
nature of the gift. He says:
please find, per messenger, a fragment
of the steamer Merrimac, which played a
very important part in Hampton Roads
when she revolutionized modern warfare
for the whole world. You viii see the shot
mark in it. Il is proper TO say we bought
the greater part of her armor. The rest OF
It has been converted INTO nails, bar-iron,
