TAX INoUIsIToR CASES

Suits have begun in many counties
in the State by the Tax Inquisitor TO
compel the payment of taxes under the
law OF April 10, 1888. In some OF the
counties the Auditors refused to place
assessments on the duplicates and the
suits were instituted to compel them to
do no. This was the case in Allen
county. and the Common Pleas and
Circuit Courts refused n mandamus
praved for by the IuquistOr. In Erie
county the Auditor put the assessment
on the duplicate, bnt when the Treas
urer demanded the taxes, payment was
refused and he instituted proceedings
to compel payment. The Court OF
Common Pleas of Erie county held that
the law of 1888 was unconstitutional
and found for the defendent. The CIR
cuit Court affirmed the decision OF the
Common Pleas Court. Both cases wore
taken to the Supreme Court and deci-
sions were handed down last week re-
yersipg the findings of the lower courts
i'm each county. 1t is probable the
back taxes will now hava to be pald.
The following is the syllabus in the
Allen county case:

a general demurrer to the reply Will
search the record and put in issue the

2 The act of April 10, 1888, (S9 ono
Laws, 170), entitled "An act to secure a
fuller and better return of property for
taxation and to prevent omissions OF
property from the tax duplicate" IS
constitutional, and a contract made
pursuant to its provision is legal ana
valid. One who is employed under IL
to furnish facts and evidence necessary
to authorize the Auditor to subject to
taxation property improperly omitted
from the tax duplicate, who is to receive
for his services percentage of the tax
collected on the restored property, has
an interest in the matter sufficient 10
entitle him to maintain proceeding In
mandamus against the County AudltoT
to compel him to act upon the facts ana
evidence furnished by the relator.
1t is the duty of County AuditoI
to act under sections 2781 and 2Io2
Revised Statutes whenever he is in
formed or has reason to believe" that
propertv has been improperly omitted
| from the tax duplicate of the county
If he declines to act upon reasonable
information, petition in mandamus by
relator who seeks to compel him tc
act, is sufficient, if it state facts showing
| that there was reason to believe tnal
property had been improperly omitted
from the tax duplicate.
4 Where, upon a petition in man
damus, an alternative writ is issuec
commanding number of acts, eithel
separate or connected to be done pS
the defendant, the relator is entitled t.
a peremptorywrit for such distinctive
acts, or parts or connected acts, as h'
may show right to have performed

TULARE, Aug Oh. Frank Tandy, pas
tor and founder of the Christian Church at
Tulare, committed suicide at an unknown
hour last evening by taking poison. The
body was discovered near the railroad track
at Tagus siding at 10 o'clock this morning
by freight brakeman. The cause OF the
act was sut for divorce bought by his
wife on July Sth last in the Superior Court
Of Visalia. The complaint in general alleges
cruel and inhuman treatment. He leftletters
TO his wife, son, parents and friends, and IN
all of them he claims the charges against
him were magniied. The answer to her
complaints were hints against her chastity.
and for this lie feared violence at the hands
Of her brother and friends, and for safe pro-
lection he carried the revolver found on his
person after death. BE leaves son 12years
old and commended him to his mothers
care. Deceased was Kentuckian, about 81
years of age, and an ODD Fellow. The
COroneTs jury brought in a verdict of
suicide. Public opinion is about evenly d.
vided as regards his innocence or guilt. He
had more than ordinary ability and the
largest congregation in Tulare. In the
letter to his father he says: while l have
been led to say and do many things which
were wrong, l am sure she had also, in
many cases, been cruel 1 am not here to
erlminate her. The foul charges she brings
are utterly false. l did no such things, as
God is my judge, did not" etc.

THE MOMENT OF DEATH.
The Pain Manifested by a Dying Perso
Purely Imagjnatfye

The Pain Manifested by a Dying Person
Purely Imaginative.
Many persons WONDER" said the house
doctor of a well-kno wn hospital to New
York Telegram reporter, show physicians
can watch unmoved the death OF persons
whose dissolution is seemingly accompanied
by evidence of great suffering, and the
remark is common one that doctors are
heartless and unfeeling. This harsh criti-
cism is founded on wrong idea of things.
The fact is that what is known as the death
agony is largely restricted to the Imagination
of the watcher at the bedside of the dying
person. The visible spasms and distortions
of the facial muscles, which In many cases
mark tie ending OF life, are not only pain
less, but take place unconsciOusly as far as
the dying person Is concerned.
Even III cases OF death by hanging, where
the prolonged agony of the sufferer Is feel
ingiy described by witnesses, it is reason
ably certain that in a few moments the
person becomes unconscious and dies in that
condition. Such has been the experience of
persons accidentally or purposely hanged,
hut afterward resuscitated. 1t is fact that
persons who have been nearly drowned
agree In the statement that after a few
moments of painful struggle feeling of
tranquility enSues.
g The suffering is while the resuscitated
person is being brought back to cons cious-
ness. Then it is he often suffers physical
pain and mental misery 1t is a meIciful
dispensatiOn of God and nature that when
the last moments of the dying man are at
hand Vital forces give out. and the long
drawn-Out gasps for breath come and go,
the apparent sufferer is happily in coma
tose condition, and SO passes painlessly into
the other life"

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Signs of Strife on the Horizon
of the Future.
Freshmen and Typothete Will Confer To-
Night-Discharges at Croekers-shoe-
makers Labels Counterfeited.

Secretary Williams of the Association Of
Employers and Manufacturers thinks that
the relations between capital and labor
on this coast are becoming strained. and that
there will be troublous times ere the falling
OF The leaf. The union pressmen, he says,
have presented new scale of prices that
VIII interfere with the internal arrangements
of the offices in the city and will not be ac-
cepted by the proprietors.
AS result of the demand Crocker & Co.
on Thursday discharged six of their hands
A meeting of the committees representing
the Typothete and the Pressmen's Union
Will be held tonight, at which it is hoped
by both parties that an amicable settlement
OF all differences existing between the two
bodies will be made. AS stated in yester-
days CALL. the employers have no desire
to antagonize the men. but are willing and
anxious to promote peace.
The interview" with the Secretary of
the Typothete (which appeared in a daily
paper yesterday morning on the trouble be-
tween the IypotheiB and the pressmen was
originally written on July oath by Everett
Walden Of RichmondiVa., as part of an ad-
dress TO the United TypUtheta of America.
In speaking of the demand which 1t is
probable the typographical Union will
make for reduction of hours in Job offices
w h'uO pOL udSt w duucU says Tile EXecu-
tive Committee of the United Typothete
earnestly advises united opposition to the
movement, on the ground that it would be
unequal and unjust in its enforcement, be-
cause it could not DE made operative in
more than one-tenth of the printing offices,
and 1t would be unfair TO expect that one
tenth of the offices would submit to disa-
bilty from which nine-tenths are free.
Practlcsl printers In this city differ with
Walden, but they consider his alarm some
what premature, as the Typographical
Union has not asked for a reduction of
working hours as yet, and will not do so
until three-fourths Of the unions in the In
teTnational Union have voted in favor of it.
Secretary Williams of the EMPLOYERS
Association published letter last night in
which he declared that it is not the purpose
of that organization to crush" the labor
unions, but merely to restrain and oppose
them. The President of the MoIders'
Union, after reading the letter last night.
remarked: You don't kill a hsh, you
merely take Ii out of the water"

SWindled Ont of His Hard Earn.
ings by F0rger.

An oily-tongued young man named Bayard
Seville. all the way from Delaware, swim
died Hon. James G. Fair out of $500 early
In June on la cleverly executed forgery.
Fair Endorsed draft for Seville ON letter
OF introduction purporting to be from ex-
Senator t. F. Bayard. an old friend OF ex-
Senator Fair. The draft proved to be
worthless. Fair lost his money and Mr..
Seville is behind the prison bars booked on a
charge of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses.
The story of Sevile's downfall is pecu-
liar one. 1t was brought about through
sickness and want and that is all he offers
IN extenuation for the crime OF forgery. A
few years ago he was a prominent New
I ork stakeholder. Business was good,
but his wife took sick with consumption.
Seville exhausted all his means doctoring
his wife III the East, but it did no guod. So
be came out and made the acquaintance of
Il. J. Baldwin. The latter took an interest
in Seyille's case and sent him and his dying
vile to Santa Anita rancho, near Los
Angeles. Here he remained until his wife
died in june last. lie then came to this
city early in June without money and with
out friends and proceeded to make raise.
MI Baldwin was out of town or he would
have gotten some money from him. So he
approached Mr.. Fair.
lie introduced himself to the eX-Nevada
Senator, and told him he had formerly
been employed in the law Office of the ex-
Senator from Delaware. Next he preSent ted
the letter with the forged signature. Hav-
ing thus established his identity to the salts
faction of Mr.. Fair. he told that gentleman
lie had a lot of money on deposit in the Sc
curity Trust and Safe Deposit Company of
Wilmington, Del.
Would you kindly indorse draft for
me? Mr.. Seville asked,
Certainly, with PLEASURE" replied Mr.
Fair.
Seville made out the draft, Mr.. Fair put
his name on the back aud MIR. Seville went
to the Nevada Bank and got The $500. Later
the draft was sent ON for collection, but was
returned as worthless. Fair made good the
amount.
Detective Bob Hogan and Captain Lees
were detailed on the case. They traced the
forger to hotel at San Rafael, where he
and n female companion had registered as
John Quigley and wife. He then went to
Menlo Park, but finally returned to the
city, and was arrested Tuesday night on
kearny street by the detectives. Seville
said that after he committed the crime re-
morse drove him to drink and dissipation,
and when the money was all gone he came
back to face the music. He had 81 when
