The Consolidated Intervention Be-
fore the Court at Atlanta

d.
Macon, Ca, May 14.-The Central rail
road tax case came upin the United States
to-day before Judge Speer. The following
attorneys are engaged in it: Attorney
General Terrell, who represents the state /;
Alex Proudht, who represents the coUu-
Iles OF Blob and Wilkinson; Dessau &.
nooge' who represent the City of Macon ::
Lawton X Cunningham, of Savannah
VINO represent the road.
Inc character of the case is this. II
is the consolidated intervention for taxes
uleu on behalf of counties and corporated
towns along the main stem between Macon
ana savannah by Controller William A
wright. The question is to be determined
whether under its charter the Central is
IlaOIe Tor taxes to those counties and
towns between Macon and Savannah. The
staUe contends that there is no limit upon
the power OF these municipalities and
counties 10 tax the company; while, on
Ine other hand, the corporation holds
tnat u cannot be taxed by MUNICIPALITIES
or counties except on such real or per
sonal property of the company as is NOT
used for railroad purposes, and only on
such real or personal property as is
within the jurisdiction of the corpora
t!on. The charter of the road states
mat the Central railroad shall not
De taxed higher than one half of one per
cent. upon its annual net income, and no
municipality or county can tax the CAPT

contention is made that the stock of the
company as specified i'll the charter.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TRAGEDY.
a Few Additional Details of the At
fair


Orlando, Fla, May 14.-There IS little
to add to yesterdays report of the killing
of Luther Walker by j. D. Shepherd. 1t
seems that the difficulty grew out of the
fact that Shepherd has for some time
been Jealous OF his wife, who is Walkers
sister, and had made some threats against
her, which had caused Walker to be
somewhat apprehensive. 1t was for this
reason that he had Shepherd placed
under bonds to keep the peace YesUer-
day morning Shepherd sent one of his
boys with a horse and buggy to bring
Walker to his house to settle the matter,
1t was supposed that a peaceable settle
ment was desired. Walker went with
the boy. On arriving at the gate and ask
ing for Shepherd another boy said that
he was in the house and possibly was
asleep, as he had slept but little during
the night. About this time Shepherd
appeared from the rear of the house with
his gun, and covered Walker The latter
threw up one arm and said, Dom
shoot" These were the last words he
ever spoke, as he fell almost at the same
instant with charge of buckshot in his
head, Shepherd came into town and sur
rendered to the sheriff.

CHURCH FOR e0WD0Iv CENTER.
The Inter- enominational Commission Decides
in Favor Of the Free Baptists.

VAUDEVILLE, April Especial. The
executive committee of the interdenomina-
donal commission of Maine having listened
to the arguments of both parties interested
in the formation of a church at Bowdoin
Center reports unanimously as follows:
The majority of the residents at Bowdoin
Center are of Free Baptist antecedents :and
he Free Baptist churches at West Bow
ioin are favorably located for Cooperation
with n Free Baptist church at Bowdoin
Center. For these reasons and in accord
4nce with article " of cur Principles we
prefer to see Free Baptist church estab-
iished at Bowdoin Center.
Turning, however, from ancient to recent
history, and from our preferences of the
people Immediately concerned, we find tina,
for the past five years the chief financial
support of public worship at Bowdoin Cen
re has come from persons of Baptist SYM
patbi's; and that the most acceptable ano
fruitful services have been conducted BY
Baptist ministers. Eleven have signified in
writing their readiness to become charter
members of Baptist church; nine to
unite with Baptist church by baptism and
letter, and SO others to attend and support
the services of such a church.
Hence, in accordance with Article Ill of
our Principles, believing that a Baptist
church is the desire of majority of the
people, believing that it would receive a
more generous financial support and more
cordial welcome, we recommend the organ
zation of Baptist church at BowdoiD
Center.
We desire to express our thanks to the
brethren of both the Baptist and Free Bap
tist churches of Bowdoin and vicinity VIII,
Kindly presented to us the facts bearing
upon the case, and pray that the new
church may prove blessing to all tie
people of the town.
By order of the executive committee.

DOUBLE DEALING IN CANADA.
Alleged Way in Which ihs Pending French
Treaty is TO be Got Rid OF.

MONTREAL, April 4.-Sir John Thomp-
son is reported to have solved the difficulty
as to how to get rid of the French treaty,
which threatens serious split in his cabi-
met. He proposes to stand by it in the
House of Commons and kill it in the Sem
ate. His course will release the govern
ment from having to force ratification OF
resignation.
Ii they pass the treaty through the Com
mons they will make show of claimin 3
that they did what they could to keep faith
and if it is thrown out by the Senate they
will express regret that they could not con-
troll the Senate.
This will not deceive Sir Charles Upper,
or his son, the minister of marine, and the
alternative is the resig2 alton of Doth. Some
close friends of the government say that
this would not displease Sir John Thomp-
son.
