THE Sherman Register, comment.
ing on the trial of Johnson, Kansas
City Sun correspondent at Dallas
and on the fact that not one iots Of
evidence was adduced to show that
Johnson had told anything false, re-
marks:
IF this precedent is to be followed
always the highway robber must be
spoken of as angels of mercy and the
red-handed murderer as u shining
religious light. This state of affairs
may be due to common law which
governs in these cases, but If it Is
why the legislature is greatly to
blame for not passing law to correct
these evils. The Register sympathiz-
es neither with the Sun nor with
Johnson, and believes that the
former should be barred out of the
state, but even the greatest Of crimi.
nails should have q fair show, and
Johnson did not have the benefit OF
it,"
Whatever may be said of the John.
son case, the libel law of Texas is q
disgrace to the statute books of the
state, and leaves the honest newspa-
per man no margin for exposing the
corruptions of government or the rot
tenness of society.

ALLEGED ROBBERS.
The Victim Badly Beaten in a Saloon
Somewhere.

The Victim Badly Beaten in Saloon
Somewhere.
Thomas Walsh, aged nineteen years. of
No. 800 Railroad avenue, who tends bar
at Homer's liquor saloon at Newark ave-
nue. and Monmouth street, and John
Reilly, were arraigned before Police JUS
tice O'DonDell this morning on suspicion
of having beaten and robbed r. j.
Coburn, stationary engineer, of No. 179
First street. Coburn was found lying
senseless on the sidewalk by
Policeman Council early yesterday
morning Just outside of Hamer's saloon.
His face bore a number of bruises; one
eve was closed, and in general he bore the
appearance of one that had been severely
beaten. His watch and chain were gone.
At the Grove street station house he told
Captain Kelly that he had been beaten,
robbed and kicked out OF Homer's
saloon. Detective Clark was as
signed to the case and yesterday
arrested Walsh and Reilly. But
when the prisoners were arraigned this
morning Coburn appeared to know moth
ing whatever about the case, and said he
had been robbed and beaten in o saloon
at Jersey avenue and Eighth street.
There is no saloon in that imme-
diate locality. Detective Clark produced
Walsh's jumper, torn and despatched
with blood. There was no direct EVIL
dence, however, that Walsh or Reilly
assaulted Coburn, and Justice O'Donnell
released both from custody.

CHASTITY MYSTERY.
Found Dead Man at the Bottom Of
a Canal Feeder.
Special to the Jersey citg News.


BELvIDERE, September 10, 1S91.-What
looks like another Jersey murder mystery
is agitating the people Of this locality.
Some residents of Lambertville work.
ing about the canalfeeder yesterday saw a
ghastlv face at the bottc d t the water
Graphing irons were occurred, and
after much trouble the body of man
was brought to the surface OF the stream.
1t was hauled out upon the bank, and
then it was found that heavy stones had
held the body to the bottom.
Several large stones were attached to
the limbs and arms of the body by strong
cords, and 1t was plain that the victim of
a murder had been discovered.
What added to the horror of the dis
covery was the fact that the body was
bloated, disfigured and decomposed to
such degree that its distorted features
were beyond recognition.
The body had been in the water many
days. No one has been reported as miss
ing from this vicinity, and the police
authorities are mystified. They are ex-
erting every effort, however, to solve the
mystery.
The men Fastening to the village from
the canal feeder came upon old James
Catlan, an aged and highly respected
resident, lying beside stone wall in a
dying condition, and bearing evidence of
having been the victim Of an assault.
The old gentleman was still alive, but
unconscious. He was gathered up ten
derlv and carried to his home, but ne died
before the house was reached, without
regaining consciousness.

TAX ADJUSTMENTS.
Apparently A misunderstanding
As TO the Payment of
Expenses.

Mayor Cleveland yesterday addressed
communication to the Finance Board,
which was referred to Committee of tn e
Whole, stating that he was under tn 9
impression that the collections of adjust
ed liens under the Martin act SO far S
they had been collected from the adjus t.
ment of arrears nd assessments for i'm
provemen is, had been diverted from the
purpose intended by the act. He believed
the act intended that these collections
should be used to extinguish the de bt
created to carry these liens, or what is
known as assessment on Improvement
bonds. They should not be put in the
assessment account to take up improve
ment certificates issued for new inn
provements.
He also called attention to another
practice that had "obtaiped without any
ioteutional impropriety." Said he:-"The
expenses attendant upon executing the
act referred to have been very large. The
act requires that they should be paid out
of the trust moneys collected, but that
has not been done. Whenever the amounts
collected from arrears of taxes, arrears OF
assessments aud arrears of water rents
have amounted to any considerable sum
different accounts by your Board without
reference to the expenses, and then
when call has been made by
the adjustment commissioners for
funds for salaries and other expenses, a
warrant has been ordered drawn upon the
general lien account, rs il iE had not al
ready been divided and exhausted. These
expenses stand now as a deficiency aud
proper adjustment should be made so tnar
