term of Office shall be two years aud
until his successor shall have been
elected aud qualified.
Section / provides for the abolition
Of the Offices now known as county
commissioners. devolving their duties
upon the county supervisors. ETC., from
and after January l. 1895. Now, it is
very plain to be seen that such county
board of commissioners. to be created
dependent upon the election OF su-
pervisor, cannot come into existence
until after the next general election, at
which general election, he is to be
voted for. The term of the boards OF
township commissioners by section .
is made cotermlnal with that of the
Governor by whom they are appointed,
and such section is also to be read IN
connection With section 2, showing their
appointment for the same term.
As result of this construction have
the honor to report that in my judgment
these officers do not come into existence
until after the next general elet'on unsll
which time the present machinery OF
county government continues Res
pectfully, OsMUND W. BUCHANAN,

For Transporting.

Berry Bryant. colored, plead guilty
before Trial Justice Carroll last week
to the charge Of transporting whisky
into the State in the night time. and
was sentenced to pay 6ne Of $loO. or
put in thirty days on the public works
Of the county.
Bryant vas arrested last Saturday
night. about two miles northeast OF
Yorkville, by State Constable Work
man. He was just coming into town
with Two gallons of liquor in one gallon
Jugs. The constable seized the liquor,
and after examining it. tied it up in a
crocus sack and gave it to Bryant to
carry. On the road to Jail, Bryant
managed to open the sack, take out one
Of the jugs aud smash it to pieces. 1t
is presumed that it was his idea to
reduce his stock TO the quantity pre-
scribed by law, but as the reduction
came after the goods had already been
iuventoried, it was no 60.
At the trial. Bryant attempted no
defense. but plead guilty and was SEN
fenced as above.

the authority of an eminent physician
on Madison avenue. who had an occa-
sion to investigate the subject. Fhe
class Of physicians referred to are those
whose incomes are from $40. 600 year
upward. They are men who have
attained rank in the general practice of
medicine. Many of them have dis

Another Juno Bug Blunder.

It was generally understood that the
new eoanty government bill would &C
into effect after January !. 1895, bu'
there seems to be some very bad legls-
lation mixed up With that intention. Il
the frss section Of the bill there is thu
provision /; ..That from aud after the
first day Of January, 1895. all Acts:
parts Of Acts or Sections of the Genera
Statutes relating to the election. duties
powers aud rights Of county commits
sioners be, and the same are hereby
repealed" Then in Section 3 comes
the fatal statement. 1t reads:
.tSectioa 6. That all the duties,
powers sad privileges nov devolved upon
the township board Of assessors be, aud
the same are hereby devolved upon the
township boards Of commissioners. and
township boards Of assessors are hereby
abolished." !"
As2Mil BE seen the township boards
Of assesscrs ate abolished and no PROV.
sion made for their Successors at this
tine Thea Section goes on to say
how this work Of assessing is to be
done:
..Sectiou I. That all tbs duties.
powers aud privileges aox devolved on
the county boards of equalization be,
and the same are hereby, devolved upon
the COUNTY boards Of commissioners. and
said board of equalization is hereby
abolished, and the members of said
board, while performing the duties now
devolved upon the county board OF
equalization. shall receive the same
eompensatioo as such board now
receive !"
Supposing Governor Tillman were to
appoint the boards as provided IN the
Act. there is this obstacle. Section 3
provides ..that the county supervisor,
together With the chairman of the town
shin boards Of commissioners in the
several townships appointed by the
Governor, shall constitute the county
board Of commissioners. of which said
board the county supervisor shall be
chairman"
The Law. provides that the county
superyisoes whois member OF thas
board, shall be elected next November.
and the question is whether the board
without that official would be legal
body.
Tns tine is short for action. aud it
would seem that the best thing is to
take common sense view Of the matter
aud avoid technicalities and let things
run along rs at present. The question,
however, arises will interested lawyers
look at things 10 disinterested aud
common-sense way? Thanks to the
June Bags things appear to be ia very
much Of tangle.-Colunbia Cor.

Attorney Generals Opinion on the
Tax MIDDLE.
From the State, Feb. Is.

From the State, REQ. 10.
The trouble referred to yesterday 10
regard to the bunglng Of the new
county government act, created quite a
stir among the State officials at the
capitol. The seriousness of the condi-
ton of affairs vas not exaggerated. and
it is still matter which is causing the
Governor considerable Wogry. He
Yesterday morning officially requested
the Attorney General to give him an
opinion iD regard to the matter and
that official did So This. however. is
simply the opinion of the States
attorney in the matter, and Of course
that opinion would not affect Che deci-
sion Of the Supreme Court if the matter
ever reaches that body in the proper
form. It is the custom of the court,
however, as shosn 10 past decisions to
look at the general objects of the
legislature in making law. aud no
doubt it would be construed as the
Attorney Genera! construes it.
HoRever there is plenty of
jurisdiction for the court to render a
decision on the other side. aud then
there would be serious state of affairs.
Here is the opinion Of the Attorney
General, and it speaks for itself:
His Excellency, Governor B. R. Till
man.
Dear Sir: Your note asking if the
&C. approved January 4, 1894. consem-
plate the Immediate devolution of the
duties of township aud district boards oI
assessors upon the officers mentioned in
such act, received. In reply would
say that. if section 6 be taken and con-
ssrued byi.self. a mere cursery examiua.
ton might leave the impression that q
hiatus exists, but an examination of the
whole act giving effect to every section
regarding the inte:-dependence Of every
provision, will show beyond all doub
that the act contemplated the change
..from and after the first day Of January
1896" as mentioned in Section l pro
viding for the appointment of count,
supervisors.
Section 7 provides for county board
of commissioners. and section 8 declare
that 1.-The county supervisor, togesbe
with the chairman of the boards o
commissioners 10 the several townships
appointed by the Governor, shall con
stitute the county board of commits
sioners, of which said board the count.
supervisor shall be chairman.
It is to be remarked that there can
rot be county board Of commissioner
without the appointment of count
suneryisor. So there coming int
existence as such board is TO be measur
ed by and coexistent with the time Of hi
appoiotment-beginnipg at the sam
time.
Now let us see the time of his ele'
tion OF appointment. and the begionin
Of his duties. Section 2 declares th'
be shall be elected at the "next ger
eral election for State officers and
every general election thereafter, who's

STRUCK BY A Boy Some excite
ment was caused in the southwestern
portion of the city yesterday evening
by a difficulty which occurred between
a colored woman named Annie Johnson
and an eight-year-old colored boy
named Fenton Washington. The lat
ter and the woman's boy had had some
difficulty, aud the mother had parted
the belligerents, when the Washington
boy struck the Johnson woman over
the right eye with IN oyster shell, max
ing an ugly wound which bled freely.
Later the father and mother of the
children had a war of words. This
morning the mayor released the child
who threw the missile with the under
standing that the father (Lem. Wash
ington) should correct him, and tined
the latter for d~isorderly conduct in
cursing and using threatening language
toward Annie Johnson.

A false alarm of fire was sounded shortly
before - o'clock yesterday which brought
out the fire department, and also caused num-
bers of persons who were attending the vari-
Gus churches to make hasty exits. The cause
of the alarm was the cries of the residents of
the house in which Mr.. Frank Quadc lives.
That gentleman some time since fell on the
street and broke one of his ribs. Yesterday
while suffering from pain, he attempted to
walk down the stairs and fell, badly ~injuring
himself. 1t was supposed that he had been
killed when some of the inmates of the house
rushed to the door and called for help. These
cries were mistaken for an alarm of fire.
Mr.. Elijah S. Alvord died Saturday morn

that the change is a permanent one.

CASE DECIDED.-The case of Kin
chqloe vs.. Tolson and others was CON
ended in the County Court of Prince
william at Manassas On Saturday. This
ca.e is ofsome interest, as besides 81, 900
i~also involves q nice law point.
Kjncheloe was county Treasurer of
Prince William county previous and up
n I,9l. Tolson was for several years
DEPUTY Treasurer, and failed to make
returns of moneys to the above
amount. Hence Kincheloe's suit
against Tolson and his bondsmen.
during the years 1856. 1887,
and lSSS the d~efalcations occurred, and
We're settled by Kincheloe in 1889 and
I>i1. Tolson continued in office, and
made other collections and returns, still
leaving the back accounts unsettled.
Kiucheloe entered suit against Tolson
and his first bondsman for the amount.
Then Tolson desired to apply the
amount collected and paid in 1889 and
lS90 to the former years and throw the
damages against his last bondsmen.
Whle Tolson acknowledged his indebt-
ness, the point was could he apply the
money paid in one year to make up
Deficiencies Of former years. The jury
was instructed by the Judge, and after
over three hours deliberation, brought
in a verdict for the plaintiff, aud decid-
ed that the money already paid could
he applied at Tolson's discretion to the
first or the last years.

4 HARNESS THIEF.-'Ise telling the

that innocent individual, Nat Jackson,

chickens leave their roosts and follow
him at any hour of the night and he
cannot "shoon them away. Nat had
been seen by two OIL three responsible
witnesses in the act of carving a set of
harness belonging to Mr.. II. B. Pullman
over a fence. 'SiXty days on the chain

THE LADIES WILL Nor VorE.-The
bill passed by the legislature last week
authorizing the city to issue more bonds
does not allow all freeholders to vote on
the question when the election is held
as was at first stated. 1t is understood
that the bill is worded to allow only
qualified male freeholders to vote on
the question, so the ladies who own
property and who were considering the
question of whether OF not to take part
in the election need give themselves
no furthur concern on this point.

BODY FoUND.-As is well known,
John Colson (alias "Mumps'), a we'll
known colored individual, had been
missing for about six weeks. 1t was
supposed by most people that John
while enjoying his usual Saturday
nights spree had wandered too ear
toe river and fallen overheard, and was
not captured by night doctors as was
supposed by some colored people. This
theory proved correct, as yesterday
morning the remains of the old darkey
were found floating in Queen street
dock in an advanced stage of decompo-
sition. The body was taken to Mr..
VIM. Demaine's undertaking establish
ment and DR.. Purvis was notified. At
the request Of Coroner Purvis, Drs.
Smith and Howard held a post NOR
tenn examination, and, though they
found a cut on his forehead, they de-
cided that death resulted from drown
ing. An inquest was held yesterday
evening, but, without finishing the tax
ing of testimony, the jury was ad-
journed till to-day when a verdict Of
death by drowning was returned.
"Mumps" was probably one of the
most universally known colored men
in the city. Fifty-four years ago some
small dilapidated frame houses stood
in the lot on Wilkes street. near Alfred,
in one of these John lived. He was
.iuollensive, but the appetite for slim
ulants acquired in his early days never
left him, and scarcely a Saturday night
rolled around that did not find John
enjoying his weekly debauch, for which
privilege he very often had to pay in
the Mayors court next morning.

THE New COUNTY ROAD LAW
The new county road law requires Il general
superintendent for the whole county. All
work upon the public roads will have TO be
done under his supervision and will not be
paid for until he has inspected and approved
the same. An improved system of road build
ing will be inauguratcd, requiring a solid
stone foundation with a gravel surface. The

Of persons came here from Washington
and numbers of Alexandrians went to
that city or strolled in the country,
while many others were on the streets
most of the day. Between 2 and 8
o'clock in the evening the skies became
overcast and a few drops of rain fell.
Early in the night heavy clouds gather
ed IN the west, the temperature became
rather oppressive and a thunder storm
was threatened, but after a few vivid
flashes of lightning accompanied by
peals of thunder the skies again cleared.
