Supreme Cour. Decisions.

Bismarck Tribune: Three more de-
cisions have been handed down in the
supreme court. One is the case of Ill
stad VS.. Anderson, on appeal from
Grand Forks County. The judgment
of the trial court is affirmed, the opinion
holding that IAN order of reference re-
ferring an action to a referee with the
usual powers, warrants the referee in
making and reporting findings of fact
and conclusion of law"
The next case is Boss rs. Northern
Pacific Railroad. up from Cass County.
This is a personal injury case, aud has
had three trials, and this time the judg
ment will stand as rendered. The
amount Of the recovery is So, 500.
In the matter of Powers VS.. Larabee,
up from Barnes County, the court has
made a very important decision, and one
that will have a far reaching effect on
taxation matters in the state. Powers
property in Barnes County was sold for
alleged taxes of 1886, to Larabee, and in
due course of time Larabee received a
tax deed. Prior to the time of his re.
ceiting his deed, and subsequent to the
issuing of the tax sale certificate, Lara.
bee paid the taxes assessed for the years
1887 and 1883. The sale for delinquent
taxes was based upon a description on
the assessment roll and tax list, as fol-
lows:
Description. Sec. Twp. r.
" 2ol !aS %
Esofe ID ll3 s.
MOI nW.... . lSa S
The court unanimously holds that the
above description is only an attempt at
a description, and that it is insufficient
as a basis of taxation, and that no valid
assessment was or could be made on
such a description. They say that the
description is not expressed in common
language, nor are characters and abbre-
viations employed such as are used by
conveyancers in describing real estate,
nor do the people generally use such a
combination of words, letters and figures
in referring to or describing land. A
description of real estate is essential to
it's assessment. and there being no suf.
fcient description in this case, there is
no assessment, and consequently no tax.
On the trial in the court below the in
validity of the tax deed was admitted by
the defendant, but as a condition pre-
cedent to cancelling the same aud re-
moving the cloud on Powers land he
wanted his money paid for the delin-
quent taxes to be refunded with 80 per
cent interest. The trial cour. agreed
with him and rendered judgment &C.
cordingly. This is reversed by the SUI
preme court on the ground that there
was no valid tax and it was error to re.
quire a repayment of a worthless con-
sideration expressed in the tax deed.
Another point of great moment to the
taxpayers Of the state was also passed
upon. In this case it appears that the
board of county commissioners did not
assemble as n board of equalization at
the time required by statute. Judges
Co1liss and Wallin hold that this fact
is fatal to the legality of the tax; that
the fact that the board of equalization
convened at a later date does not cure
the omission to meet at the time and
place fixed by law. They say that the
public is not chargeable with notice OF
any meeting of the board except that
designated in the statute. Judge
Bartholomew does not agree with this
part of the opinion.

Relief for FamiIie. of Victims.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Mayor Grant
has appointed a relief committee, and
money for the families OF the dead has
commenced coming in. One thousand
dollars has been received from Mrs.
Grain, owner Of the building that COL
lapsed. She sends a letter saying she
wished she could give more for the fam.
lilies of the dead. The coroner will be-
gin an inquest next Monday. The
mayor this afternoon received a letter
from the widow of Thomas Will.
liams., of 1876 Vatick Street, one
of the victims of the disaster,
in which she says che is too poor to pay
the expenses of her husbands funeral.
The mayor wrote to the commissioners
of charities directing them to provide a
coffin, hearse and carriage, and to bury
the body in Calvary cemetery. The
announcement that tho search was con-
Guided and the last body taken from the
ruins had its effect on the crowd, which
with morbid curiosity had dung to the
ropes that formed the lines. The people
went away and the overworked police
breathed signs of relief. Several DESC
late women, whose dead had not been
found, only remained behind. 1t was a
matter of surprise to all that there was
so large a number of missing who
could not he accounted for. The theory
advanced was that the ferceness of the
flames, which ragged for several hours.
had caused several of the bodies to be
consumed.
THE UNCERTAINTY OVER
New YORK. Aug. 26.-At last the
dreaded uncertainty is over Every
inch Of the black space where once the
fatal building stood has been gone
over, every bit OF the d. bris removed,
even to the sand under the flooring Of
the sub. cellar. When night approached
and the lights began to twinkle here
and there, a solitary gas lamp was lit in
the center of the block almost facing
the now vacant supulchre. Between
was q great pile of bricks, posts and
beams. and perhaps-who will
ever know-the ashes of men
and women lost and not found.

Bacchus was the inventor Of the jag.
One time Bacchus spent the day on
the Island Of Dia, experimenting with q
little private jag Of his own. II was very
hard work TO make it ct properly, and
in the afternoon he sleep asleep overcome
BY his szeEtiOns. While unconscious he
was captured BY . body Of sailors, COM
manded BY . skipper named AlceStes.
ThesS sailors thought 1t would be an en-
celisnt idea to carry Bacchus OF to Egypt
and ell him into slavery. They did not
% very far, though, before Bacchus pre-
ssnted each Of them with nice hand
painted JIG. which induced the sailors TO
abandon their dire purpose. While they
were amusing themselves with their re-
spective jass, they all became possessed
and with the idea that they were
dolphins, and jumped into the sea. This
iSnot remarkable because they was no
other place for then dump to. Baechus
and Aleestss being left in charge Of the
chip, sailed 10 the Island Of Naxos.
Here Bacchns had q large plant for the
manufacture Of jags and was extern
siVsly patrOni1ed by the nobility and
gentry Of the neighbOrhOod.
