COUNTY TAXES ON RAILROADS
The Federal Supreme Court Upholds
the Georgia Law.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The supreme
court of the United States to-day affirmed
the validity and constitutionality of the
law passed by the Georgia legislature on
Oct 16, 1889, providing for the taxation
Of the INDICATED, transitory property of
the railroads of that state
By the terms of this law, this property
of railroad was to be divided for taxa
tion among the counties through which it
runs, In the proportion that the mum ber
of miles in each county bore to the full
mileage of the road in the state. The
Columbus Southern Railroad Company
sued for an injunction to restrain the
collection of taxes assessed under this
law, upon the ground that it was repug-
nant TO the provisions of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution
which guarantees the equal
protection of the laws of every state to
all the inhabitants of that state. This
class of property, it was contended, be-
longed to other corporations and was not
divided for taxation. The supreme
court of Georgia refused the Injunction,
and this judgement was affirmed by the
supreme court of the United States in an
opinion delivered by Justice jackson. Fl Q
said that the law was clearly within the
power of the state and not in violation of

FIRE IN A LEGATION.
vandals Enter the American Quarters
at Rome and Burn Papers.

Rome, Jan. 29.-Burglars last night
forced an entrance into the American
legation, No. 13, Via Nazionale, by break
ing locks. The thieves broke open the
safe and desk of the minister and consul
general and then set fire to all the papers
in the Office A number of archives were
completely destroyed and others were
partially burned. The outrage is sup
posed to have been perpetrated at about
midnight
The fire caused a money loss of less
than 81 200. 1t is evident that burglars
who caused the fire did not have robbery
as their object, as nothing was carried
away. Mr.. Potter says most of the pa
pers destroyed were in the otfice of the
consul general, and were not of much i'm
portance. They were the accumula-
tion of ten years. Neither the minister
nor the consul general kept their
most important papers at their Office. No
motive can be assigned for the act and 40
clue is afforded by the character of the
papers destroyed. The furniture was
dapaged and papers destroyed in the
rooms of the minister, and the consul gem
eral but in the Office of the consul moth
ing was touched.

FIENDs REMOVE A RAIL.
They Intended to Wreck a Passenge,
Train But Caught a Freight.

Richmond, Va, Jan. ga Dublin
special to the Dispatch says: "An attempt
to wreck the east bound Norfolk and
Western vestibule train, due here at 9
o'clock last night, failed, owing to the
fact that it was forty minutes
late AS result of this delay
a freight train was ordered from Radford
to Dublin to meet the vestibule here, and
it ran into the trap laid for the passenger
train, having its engine and three cars
derailed, and tearing up the track for
over 100 feet. AT the end of the cut,
about 8 miles east of Dublin, some one
mad removed rail, drawing the
spikes and unscrewing the bolts
that held it to the ties. The crow bar
and wrench, the property of the Norfolk
and Western Company, with which the
work was done, were found near the spot
INTENTIONAL BEYOND DOUBT.
The fact that freight train left Rad
ford a short time before this one, and
reached Dublin safely, shows conclusively
that the intention was to wreck the pas
senger train, as it was the only cne due,
and the one that was wrecked was an ex-
ira.
This passenger train was the through
train from Chattanooga to Washington
1t consisted of eight heavy vestibule
coaches, carrying large number of pas
sengers. Had the vestibule run into the
broken track the loss of life and injury to
passengers would have been fearful.
Traffic was delayed about twelve hours. P"

He Yields to Requests That He Re-
consider His Resignation.


consider His Resignation.
Washington, Jan. 29.--Several days ago
Representative Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
resigned his seat in the House. He was
not in sympathy with the tariff bill. He
felt that he could not consistently sup
port it, and he thought it better to retire
from public life and permit his constitu-
ents to elect successor who would more
properly represent their wishes. The
resignation met with storm Of protest is
from many Of the leading members of
his party Mr.. Sibley went over TO
Harrisburg Saturday, and had confer
ence with Gov. Pattison. The governor
urged him to reconsider his resignation,
his argument being that his withdrawal
from congress at this time would work
more injury 10 the party organization
than any action which Mr.. SIbley might
take regarding the tariff bill. Mr. Sibley
received n number of kilograms to-
day from his constituents, urging him 10
withdraw his resignation and serve out
his term. In compliance with these re-
quests Mr.. Sibley has decided 10 remain,
but this decision will not affect his action
upon the tariff bill. He is still unalter-
edly opposed to that measure and will
vote against il.

Milledgeville, Ca, Jan. 29.-The an

death OF the latter, and since
that day an indictment for murder has
been hanging over him, and up TO the
present day Mr.. Ellison's relatives have
been endeavoring to locate his hiding
place. Futile would be the effort
TO pictnre the surprise when it was
learned that he had been right In the

ELLAvILLE's BANK LOOTED.
Burglars Blow Open the Safe and OBJ

Ellaville, Ga, Jan. 29.-This morning
at $3.50 O'Clock the town was shocked by
the announcement that the Planters
Bank of Ellavi!le had been burglarized
and robbed of all its money, 81 500.
The outer door of the vault was opened
with a drill, and the burglar proof safe
inside, containing the money, was blown
open with dynamite. 1t was evidently
the work of an expert.
The stolen money had been placed on
deposit, and nearly every citizen sus-
tanned loss of from $50 to 81, 800.
About year ago the Planters Bank
was crippled by making loan of S11, 900

Gov. Tillman in an Ugly Mood Against
Charleston.

Chief Constable Gaillard Reports .
Conspiracy Against the Constables.
The Governor willing to Give the
City Bloody Riot if She Wants It.
The Local Paper Denounced.
Columbia, S. c., Jan. 29.--The indica-
tions are that serious results will
grow out of the dispensary troubles in
Charleston. Gov. Tillman has received a
report from his chief constable in which
the latter says that the barkeepers have
formed conspiracy against the law and
the lives OF the state officers.
The chief constable declares that some-
thing must be done TO secure convic-
tion when brought 10 trial. He says
that should there not be convictions
there will be personal encounters and
bloodshed. There are men who follow
the constables on horseback, and there
are also paid spotters who threaten their
lives. The chief says that his force has
located strangers In the city whom they
might at any time have to kill in self de-
fense, He declares that the condition of
things is ugly in the extreme, made so by
unwise and unfriendly lawyers and
lynx press.
GOV. TILLMAN FURIOUS.
On hearing this, Gov. Tillmau said If
these people wanted bloody riot, he was
willing. He would assemble the legisla-
ture IL necessary. He was not going to
have these toughs ride rough-shod over
the laws, and, if the good people OF
Charleston could not have il stopped, he
would go ahead in tho policy he had de-
cided upon. He would uphold the law
even if he had TO kill few of these Ital-
ian cut-throats ana bulldozers He
charged the Charleston News and Courier
with being directly responsible for in
citing this violation and resistance to the
law.

G. B. Mcdonald. one of the dispensary
spies, was slightly stabbed last night. He
claims that it was while in the discharge
of his duty, but no confirmation of tho
story he tells can be obtained, and IL Is
generally believed to be false The wound
is slight. His character is not good, a
warrant having been sworn out for him
last summer, charging that he obtained
money under false pretences.

as of the highest import, assuring me that
France now is in complete control of the
trade of the Soudan. The occupation was
effected, he said, to avenge the massacre
of Marine Ensign Aube and his party. 1t
has resulted in exciting chronic antago-
