A Tax Decision.
Y. }

Chief Judge Alvey, in delivering
the opinion of the Maryland Court
of Appeals in the ca of the County
Commissioners of Allegany County
rs. The New York Mining Com
pany, in application for injunction
to restrain the collection OF taxes
illegally assessed. said:
at appears that the supposed
uniustifiable increase of assessable
value complained of was $500 per
acre on 500 acres of coal land, rais-
ing an aggregate increase of 800,
600. And the question here is one
Of power and jurisdiction in the
commissioner to make such alter
alton. and this depends upon the
construction and effect of sections
1877 and l45 of articles 81 of the
code.
"By the first Of those sections
the county commissioners and APP
peal Tax Court are directed annu-
ally to correct the assessment of the
property in their respective coun-
ties and city Of Baltimore. and ~
to alter and correct the valuation OF
any property which may have been
properly valued and to assess the
same at its true value; (2) to alter
correct the account of any person
whose property or any part thereof
may have been omitted in the for
mer assessment or may have been
since acquired, and (3) if real estate
or other property shall, from any
cause, have increased or diminished
largely and materially in value
since the last levy they shall cor
rect. alter and amend the assess
ment of the same so as to conform
to its present value.
"These are large and important
powers, and no less important to
the property-owner than to the pub
lie at large, and therefore they
should not be attempted to be ex.
ercised in an arbitrary or caprici-
GUS manner, nor exercised in any
case without due regard to the
rights of the property-owner. He
must have right to be heard, and
that, too, before his rights are de-
termined by the only tribunal that
can hear him in defense of his
rights"
The court decided that until the
property-o was duly notified
and given an opportunity to come
in and answer as to the valuation
of the property proposed to be
affected, or had failed to come in
after receiving such notice. the
commissioners had no authority or
power either to increase the valua-
ton of property already valued and
assessed, or to add thereto other
property not valued and returned
to them by the proper assessors or
collectors, as provided in the statute.
The statute law of the state appli-
cable to the case, the court says,
should have been complied with,
and the notice given as required.

A Sensational Suicide at Keyser

this place, committed suicide last
night by drinking carbolic acid in
the presence Of his sweetheart, Miss
Ann High, whom he was to marry on
Christmas night, but at that time she
refused to have anything to do with
him, which caused his mind TO go
astray. He then went out into the
ward and a. ked Andy Pancake, an
employe at the clearinghouse, to
knock him on the head as he wished
to die. Pancake jokingly told him
all right, to get down on his knees.
Instantly he did SO, and begged Pan
cake to kill him quick, which OF
course he refused TO do, and told him
to get up and act like man and not
let anything worry him. He then
went to the home of his sweetheart,
and elm bling in The window searched
the house for her She in the mean
time ran to the boarding house in or
der to escape him Finding she had
gone there he went rushing into the
room, and taking bottle from his
pocket containing portion of whisky
mixed with carbolic acid, offered it TO
her, and she refused. He then re-
marked, you caused me to do this,
aud drank from the bottle. lie lived
but few minutes.
