Exciting Conflict of Authority

There was a conflict >of authority yester-
day at Atlanta, Ca, at the meeting of po-
lice commissioners. Mayor King, under
instructions from the city council, took the
chair. Capt. James w. English, who
claims that his term has not expired, re-
fused to recognize the mayor as chairman
Commissioners Venable and Branan recog-
nized English as chairman, and ignored the
mayor, while Commissioners Brotherton
and Johnson ignored English and recog-
nized King.
The mayor ordered the chief of police,
Connolly, to seat Venable, who insisted on
speaking. Connolly refused, and nearly a
faction fight followed. Connolly shouted:
He shall not insult me if he is mayor"
Chief Connolly was finally led from the
room by friends and the excitement sub
sided. A hot discussion followed as to
who was chairman. This kept up all day
and until late last night. The English fac
ton will apply for an injunction restraining
Mayor King from acting as chairman. The
factional fight is extremely bitter

The Fatal Act.

Last evening young Corbett dressed him
self carefully after bathing, and saying
nothing to his family went up to his room
a little before o'clock and locked himself
in. A few moments later the sound of a
pistol shot was heard and his sister down.
stairs, guessing the awful truth, at once
rushed out to a neighbor's house to sum-
mon help. She went to the home of Mr..
Rex Smith across the street and Mr.. Smith
and his son hurried to the house and broke
in the door where the young man had
locked himself in. They found him lying
on the bed with revolver tightly held in
his right hand. Physicians were sum-
moned without delay, but there was moth
ing they could do for long before they
arrived the unfortunate youth was dead.
He had laid himself out in an easy position
on the bed, and, holding the pistol close to
his breast, had fired the fatal shot. One
was enough, for the bullet had gone
straight to the heart. When an entrance
to the room was effected the young mans
clothing about the spot where the bullet
had entered was scorched and smoldering.
The coroner was notified, and after view
ing the remains he decided that an inquest
was unnecessary, and thereupon signed the
death certificate. The young mans father
was also found and notified of the sad
affair. He at once went to the bedside
and was completely unnerved by the shock
incurred. Mr.. Corbett makes his home for
the most part in Alexandra, where his

company and of the Old Dominion Tobacco
Company.
The young man who ended his life under
such tragic circumS tanceS last evening had
always been known as eccentric in his
ways and had little to do with the young
people with whom he grew up. BY nature
he was rather delicate and for the most
part had Stunned society and had made
few acquaintances. He spent much of his
time alone, sometimes deep in book but
more often simply dreaming the time away
in idle thoughts. For hours at time he
would gaze into the flames of an open
fire and seemed to find them a great solace
and comfort After being rather more
bright and cheerful he had lapsed into
his old ways of late and spent more time
than ever in the seclusion of his own room.
In some ways it was an unfortunate and
unhappy life that ended so suddenly last
evening, and the young mans family have
the sympathy of a large circle of friends
and acquaintance in their sorrow.

PUT AN END TO HIS LIFE
Brooke E Corbett Committed Suicide Last
Night.
Bullet In His Heart Finishes q
Young Life-He Had Been in
the Asylum.

Brooke E. Corbett, a young man about
nineteen years of age, who for some years
past has occasioned his family considera-
BILE worry by his eccentric habits, succeed
ed last night in putting an end to his life
by means of pistol ball. It was the third
or fourth attempt he had made to kill him.
self. Corbett was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank E. Corbett, and lived with his moth
er at 924 NJ street. The father is a promi-
nent business man Of Alexandria, where he
makes his home.
There is no doubt that the young man
was insane when he put an end to his ex-
istence, for he has twice been confined in
hospitals for the insane, and was only out
on furlough from the Staunton Insane
Asylum, where he was sent last fall. re-
naming there until about the first of De-
cember. Prior to that he had been confined
at st. Elizabeth's. where his case is said to
have puzzled the physicians. He was quiet
and tractable and seemed to have no
strong decisions, and was regarded as a
model patient While under confinement
he showed no disposition to violence. but
was given to brooding when left alone. He
returned home from St Elizabeth's after
having suffered from malaria, and though
he attempted no violence with his family,
he made threats on several occasions. and
once attempted suicide with strychnine,
but that time his life was saved. Last
summer, while with his father in Alexan-
dria, he made another attempt by jumping
into the river, but he was rescued by a
man who saw him jump, and it was after
that attempt that he was sent to the
Stanton institution.
His First Outbreak.
1t is something over year ago that
young Corbett made the first violent out
break which showed that his mental con-
d.tion had developed into positive insanity.
He coolly announced one day that he in
tended to set his mothers house on fire,
and. following the word with the deed, he
began pouril kerosene about the parlor
and ignited it. Quite a fire resulted, but
the firemen succeeded in putting out the
blaze before the house was destroyed.
On his return from Staunton last fall it
was thought that the young mans condi-
ton had taken turn for the better, and
he himself hoped that the furlough which
had been granted him would end in his I'M
conditional discharge. 1t is said that for
some time past had been brooding over
this condition of affairs, and had expressed
an intention of putting an end to his sus-
pense somehow or other. Yesterday a let
ter came from the Staunton asylum. and
although 1t contained nothing but a fur
Their furlough of sixty days, Corbett evil
IDENTIFY conceived the idea that it was an
order for his recall, and then his mania
took a more severe turn. 1t is not known
just how or when he secured the revolver,
but he evidently had it in readiness when
needed.

o. That the understanding and expectation

OF extraordinary exigency, and such has been
the practice down to Aug. Is, 1894. III the
power to do so is 10 be exercised as an ordinary
and usual means of supply that fact furnishes
IN additional reason for circumspection In DIS
posing Of the present case.
T. That taxes on all real estate belong to the
class Of direct taxes, and that the taxes on the
rent or income Of real estate, which Is the in
cidcnt Of its ownership, belong to the same
class.
8. That by no previous decision Of the court
has this question been adjudicated to the con-
trary OF the conclusions now announced
o. That 30 much of the act Of August 10,
1894, as attempts to impose "a tax upon the rent
or income OF real estate without apportion'
ment Is invalid.
The court is further Of the opinion that the
act Of Aug. 10. 1894, is invalid 80 far as II at

therefore, such tax Is tax Oh the power
