they had anticipated, was a disagree
ment Of the jury. States Attorney Porter
was interviewed on his return from the
Springs, and though considerably dis

that he and his assistant counsel, l.. w.

SURVIVING CORPS COMMANDERS

Charles K. Melville Of Chester. Pa.
comes to the relief of the New York
newspapers which, in reporting the
Grant memorial ceremonies, stated that
Generals Schofield, Howard, Dodge and
Slocum are the only men now living
who commanded Union army corps
during the war of 1865. Mr.. Melville
writes:
The feet is there are still alive the
following men who commanded a corps:
Mp. Banks of the Fifth and Nineteenth:
Daniel Sickles of the Third; d. S. Stan

too, Is q mistake. as J. g. Parke. now
living, commanded that army at one
time. Many old soldiers will DENY this.
but 1t Is matter of record, nevertheless.
and to spare my comrades any unneceS-
sary controversy, l viii state that Cen

Army OF the Potomac all the forenoon
of March %, 1865. during a temporary
absence OF General Meade, General

RAILROAD ASSESSORS,
From the Top eka Capital.

From the Top eka Capital.
The average citizen has little idea of
the great amount of work that devolves
each year upon the state board of rail-
road assessors.
The many millions of dollars repre-
resented by railroad securities and equip
mentS of various kinds throughat the
state. all has to be reviewed in the
voluminous returns made by each com.
pany. Each road is also given an oppor.
tunity to appear before the board with
a representative to explain all changes
asked for by the road regarding the APP
portionment Of its taxes. The board has
been in session about two weeks now,
and, although assessments have vet
been made, number of roads have had
their hearing
One Of the most important changes
that will probably be made in the assess
ment this year will be on telegraph
property. The board finds that telegraph
lines have been taxed on valuation
nearer their first cost, without regard to
their loss in value by action of wind and
weather, than any other property. The
valuation placed on many of the tele-
graph last year the board has found by
sworn statements from experts regard
ing cost of material and construction,
was too high and in some instances al
most double, and on this property there
will doubtless be a reduction.
