THE CAR WAS ALL RIGHT.

Trainmaster Epperson Says the Blues
Were Not Taken to Camp in a Dirty
Car.
Trainmaster Epperson of the Central
railroad wishes it stated that the car
which was furnished the Republican
Blues for transportation to Camp Northen
Sunday night of which so much COM
plant has been made, was clean and in
good condition when it left Savannah.
The car was old, Mr.. Epperson says,
but was the only one the Central could
furnish that night, as all the other cars
were in use on account of the heavy Sun
day travel 1t was the same car which
had been used by one of the cavalry COM
panies in returning from camp the day
before, and had been thoroughly cleaned
up after It's arrival here. No complaint
was made by the cavalry company of the
car
There was newer car, which the
trainmaster had intended givingrthe Blues,
but il arrived in Savannah in the morn
ing with cut journals and had to be sent
to the repair shop.

BUSY With Papers.

There is very little doing in the SUI
perior court this week The court is
open every day to transact any equity
business that may come up, butqthe petit
jurors have been discharged until Mon
day.
The reason for this is that Judge Falli-
CANT is busy reading and considering the
exceptions to the masters reports in the
Coast Line case and the suit of Muller VS..
Muller for a division of the Muller es-
tate. He will render his decisions on
these exceptions atan early date, because
he will probably have to try them on
their merits.

derson Street After the Providers.
A number of complaints have been
lodged by people who live in the south
eastern part of the city, in the neighbor-
hood of Anderson street, with regard to
the large number Of negro sneak thieves
who infest that locality.
At $3.50 o'clock Yesterday morning, Mr.
A. G. Lengwicl1, who lives at 81 Ander-
son street, between Habersham and
Price, heard some one at his fence and on
getting up saw negro trying to get into
his yard,
He waited until the negroagot inside,
and seeing him trying TO force an en-
trace into his house, quietly slipped out
and snapped his pistol at him. 1t failed
to go or, however, and the negro, seeing
that he was discovered broke and run
Lengwick fired at him again and from
the negro's yell and actions concluded
that he had struck him in the shoulder
He and Policeman Brennan, who hap
pened along at that time, gave chase
but the negro escaped. This is the second
time a thief has attempted to enter MIR
Lengwick's house.
Mrs. Griffith, who lives only two doors
away from the Lengwick's has, had her
premises entered three times within the
last ten days by sneak thieves ana chick
ems and other articles have been stolen
from the yard.
Mr.. |. H. Mathews, who lives in that
neighbCrhOOd on Waldburg street, makes
a similar complaint, but he was a heavier
loser than any Of the others. A thief en-
tered his premises a night or two ago
went through the house quietly, and
carried of everything he could lay his
hands on.

Governor Mckinney in his special message
on finances an taxation, says in regard to
the taxation of property That it should be as
sessed at its true selling value, and not at
forced sac In order 10 arrest the inaccur-
acy in assessments the Governor suggests
that there shall be a board OF equalization to
take values from various parts OF the State
and change them in such way rs TO more
fully carry out the provisions OF the consti-
tuition, which declares that real estate shall
not be- ass ssed at more or less than its fair
value. In speaking of ascertaining the
amount of personal property he says that
this is difficult because it is so easily con-
ceaed 1t is less difficult, however, TO as
certain its value when discovered than real
estate. tecause 1t 50 frequently changes
hands by sale or exchange, and this can be
used as fair criterion for the ascertainmcnt
of its value.
The Governor, in treating of the taxation
Of incomes. says that after a reasonable tax
has been imposed on real estate and personal
property there should lie fair tax placed on
incomes This will be a varying tax, depend
ent upon the success of the people in their
bus.ress during the year. 1t should be used
to meet the deficiency in the amount Of taxes
necessary for government purposes, after a
reasonable tax on property has been assessed
The only trouble is the difficulty in property

MANY FOREIGN AWARDS.
They CT the Largest Per Cent of
Worlds Fair Prizes,

The Worlds Fair Board of Awards have
struck balance on the awards they have
made, disclosing for the first time that the
foreign exhibitors will receive SO per cent. Of
the prizes, while the American exhibitors
will receive only 81 per cent. Chairman
Thatcher OF the board, says that this show
ing will put an end to the criticisms that the
foreign exhibitors were not receiving. full
consideration.
He anticipates that the American exhibit
tors will now be heard from, and that they
will feel that the board has not been sufi-
GENTLY patriotic to home exhibits But Mr.
Thatcher saws that he and his associates
have been governed by the findings OF the
Judges. and that the latter are responsible
for giving the foreigners the tulk OF the
prizes.
Mr.. Thatcher said the result was no retec-
ton on American enterprises and ingenuity,
as the foreigners had unusual facilities iot
making superior exhibits. Most fthe foreign
countries had commissions which selected
the hest out Of numerous exhibits As result,
the foreigners exhibited the pick oil their
goods, while the Americans net having to 90
so far or to pass preliminary instructions,
exhibited their average commodities.
