quirer on Trial before Judge NaE er.

quirer On Trial Before Judge UaE err.
The damage suit of Annie NJ. Johnson
against the Cincinnati Enquirer is being
tried by a jury in the United States Dis
trict Court. The plaintiff. who is a widow
of thirty-eight, is suing the newspaper for
$4,000, alleging the publication of a libelous
article on Jan. q, 1892. Mrs. Johnson's
present home is at Logansport. Her broth
er-in-law, j. D.. Johnson, is proprietor Of
the Johnson Hotel, in that city, and it was
while residing with the family of the latter
hat the plaintiff was made the subject Of
the Objectionable newspaper story. Previ-
Gus to taking up a residence at Logansport,
Mrs. johnson, with her husband, lived in
Australia Three years ago her husband
died there, leaving his family in almost
destitute circumstances Mrs. johnson APP
piled TO her L~ogansport brother-in-law for
aid, and was by him furnished funds with
which to return to the United States. The
plaintiff was made a prominent figure in the
sensational columns of the Cincinnati paper.
In January of 1882 the diningoroom
involved in a misunderstanding with the
landlord, and as a result of the trouble a
girl named Emma Scull was discharged.
evidence, was incensed over her dismissal.
and prepared to even up the score with her
employer. Two days after the episode the
of the trouble, and under a sensational
headline related the details of the Scull
girls revenge. The latter was charged with
writing a letter to the wife of the. hotel
proprietor, in which she connected the
name Of the husband with the widow of
his dead brother. Mrs. johnson, the sister
in-law, Indignantly denied the accusation
made by the girl, and at once commenced
an action against the paper for damages.
j. D.. johnson on the witness stand yester-
day denied having told the Enquirer re-
porter that his wife had received a letter
compromising his sister-in,law; The case
presents a number of fine legal points, and
the Instructions of Judge Baker TO the jury
to-day, 1t is thought, will contain a great
deal of information bearing on the liability
of a newspaper and its reporter. The plain
tiff is represented by attorneys Fishback
& Kappes, of this city, and Fansler & Win
field, of Logansport. Attorney A. c. Har.
ris and Mr.. Myers, of Logansport, appear
for the defendant.

Assessments.
The fact has developed, since the day
Of delinquent taxes has arrived, that many
persons have found themselves delinquent

OF the expense of certain improvements.
Several a been sued through this mad
vertance. The Board of Public Works has
received so many complaints and inquiries
that Clerk Parker was instructed to pre-
pare the following notice to all property
owners, and in this day of general inn
provement there are few property owners
to whom 1T is net of immediate interest:
Assessments are now due and payable
from property owners who have been as
sewers. One is the main intercepting sewer
constructed from White river, near Pogue
run. to Kentucky avenue, and the other
main sewer is what Is known as the lower
section of the Mississippi-street main sew
er. constructed In Mississippi street, from
Pogue's run to Georgia street. The prop
erty owners assessed for these sewers
must pay their assessment, in cash, to the
city treasurer by Nov. Is. 1894. or they may
take the benefit of the ten-year plan, by
office.
"AH property within the corporate limits
OF the city Is assessed for the main inter-
cepting sewer, except that property west of
White river; south of Michigan avenue and
east Of Reid street, south of Woodlawn

Murphy Has 'O5 I'm Mind.

A property owner went into the treasur-
er's office yesterday to ascertain some facts
relating to a delinquent assessment for
street and sewer Improvement. He had
paid two assessments, and supposed that
was all, as the clerks in the treasurer's
Office had not presented any other ac-
count against him.. He was greeted by
Deputy Marshal Murphy with the reproach-
full and impairment remark:
Yes, you keep on voting with Trusler
and the Board of Works and you will have
your property under mortgage"
You need not take me for a fool" was
the somewhat indignant reply, as soon as
the taxpayer could recover from his aston
ishment. II happen to know that all these
contracts were let by the Sullivan admin
istration. / would nave had no trouble IL
your clerks here knew their business"
Controller Trusler says that this is not
the first time the treasurer's office has been
used for partisan purposes. When the We
hicle tax was payable and a colored man
who was delinquent appeared to settle the
account he as all others did, found the
tax doubled. When he inquired why Muir
ply said:
men don't have to pay double"
This went on until Mr.. TruSler COM
planned to Chief Deputy Frank Miller, who
said it would be stopped. and since then
day. The ex-president of the City Council
is evidently intending to use his office to
create dissatisfaction among Republican
voters for effect I'm the next election, which
occurs before the present treasurer retires
from his position.

time she has managed to save 81, 900 and
purchased their home with it and took title
