AN OUTRAGE IN BARN
WELL.
A Witness in a Murder Case Kid
mapped and Whipped Oh Ac-
count of his Testimony.

BLAcKvlLLE, August 9.-Cyrus Da-
vid, colored barber, was fooled
into the country last night and given
a severe hogging. A party went to
his home and told him he was wanted
to shave dead man and he started
out in the vehicle, but it came very
near his being the dead man A crc-
Gus sack was thrown over his head
and severe whipping administered.
This morning he looked rather badly
bruised. He says he was told that
the reason he was whipped was be-
cause of his having given certain ev-
idence against a party recently
charged with murder in case which
attracted a great deal of interest.
This evidence is alleged to have been
given at the second trial in connec-
ton with the tragedy The chief of
police had heard of the incident, but
no official report had been made to
him and the whipping was done in
the country
1t might not be hard work for the
right persons to find out who COM
mitted this outrage and have the law
take its proper course

Touching The Taxes.
What Changes the Comptroller
Wants Made.

A representative Of The State yester-
dag asked Comptroller General Norton
what changes be could recommend in
the State Constitution as affecting the
tax department. Of the State govern
ment, if the coming convention would
ask him for such suggestions 10 view
of the experience be has bad.
He talked very freely and it was
found that there we're only two mat
ters he thinks Of consequence to the
tax machinery-,he matter of the ad
valorem basis Of valuation Of property
for taxation aad the constitutional two
mill school tax
He says that the requirement that all
property in the State shall be assessed
ad valorem-at it's actual money value
is entirely equitable SO far as the citl-
zens of the State are concerned, but it
ie very different With foreign property
holders. There is DO way to get at
them He cited for instance the Pull
man Palace Car Company. This COM
pany. be says, always has vast
amount Of property moving in the
State, carrying away from the State
thousands of dollars, get there is 20
way by which the company can be re-
CURED to pay taxes. because Of this ad
valorem basis Of taxation He would
have the organic law changed SO as to
reach this class Of business interests.
The constitutional two mill tax pro-
vision in the Constitution also gives
great trouble to the tax department.
He says be is not opposed to education
10 any way whatsoever. and does not
wish the money given to educational
institutions curtailed. He would like
to see the Constitution FIX the mini
mum amount that should be levied aud
devoted to education. and then leave
it to the State Legislature to fix the
maximum. The trouble is this: A
State is looked upon as to its standing
by the amount Of property it has
assessed for taxation. With this two
mill tax milestone hanging around the
departments neck all the time. the
valuation of property for taxation has
to be kept low aud high tax put on
for State and other purposes, for when
you double the valuation you double
the amount to be received from the two
mill tax, aud all the taxes will 60 to
school purposes alone. If this were
not the case the valuation Of all prop
erty for taxation could be doubled, and
the rate of taxes charged on the
amount could be reduced oDe-balf sc
tha, the people would pay DO more IN
taxes than they did at the double rate
on low valuation The State.

Corne, ing the Orange Crop

JACKSONVILLE, Aug THE Brit
ish steamer ason, Capt Frazier, will
sail from here to- morrow for Jamaica,
carrying a cargo of orange box ma
terial and also many expert orange
pickers and packers. These orange
pickers and packers are the en-
ployees of Williams & Hubbard, of
the Boston Fruit Company, which
has cornered the Jamaica orange
crop for three years to come. or until
they expect that the Florida trees
will be in bearing again, and knock
out trust prices. A shrewd piece OF
business was done by this concern
The moneyed men of the country
and the business men thoroughly
alive to point of vantage, hurried
over to Jamica Immediately after the
Florida freeze and secured leases of
large number of bearing orange
groves. These leases were obtained
for period of three years.
The boxes on the Jason are theirs
and will be used to pack the first
part of the crop. which will be
ready for shipment in September
The beauty of the orange groves in
Jamaica is that they bear two crops
year, one in September aud the
other in March. They do not bear
as proli6cal'y at time as the orange
trees in Florida do, but in year
produce fully as many oranges.
There is now on board the Jason
English material to manufacture into
$4,000 boxes. AS these are filled,
the Jason will come back for more
She will probably bring back on her
retu, voyage the first shipment of
Jamaica oranges, which, on account
Of their earliness, ought to command
fancy prices

To Attack New York.
The White Squadron to Show
How it Should be Done.

WASHINGTON. August The inau-
guration of series of naval evolu,ious
and strategic manoeuvres greater than
ever attempted before 10 this country
was marked TO- day by the departure of
the cruisers New York. Montgomery

these vessels With several others belong
ieg to the North Atlantic Squadron will
execute marine programme extending
from Hampton Roads, Va, to Halifax,
N. S.. which will include stragetic
attack on New York, aud the working
cut of a number of problems prepared
by the naval war college.
Ou their arrival at Newport the yes
sells which left New York to-day will be
joined by the Raleigh and the dispatch
boat Dolphin.
Evolutious in naval tactics will be the
first business of Admiral BuDce's feet
aud these will extend to Portland, Me-
Secretary Herbert will probably ac-
company the feet for that distance.
The battlestip Texas will be placed

join the squadron Immediately thereaf-
ter. II the Columbia proves to have
sustained no injury from her recent
docking experience at Southampton,
she also will be sent to join Admiral

dock at Brooklyn. The cruiser Mime

and it is possible that the Monitor
Amphitrite will follow If the battle
ship Maine ia completed in time. she
too. will be added to the feet.
The programme of evolution has not
been fully prepared. but it will be ue-
cessarily kept secret in order to carry

BOUNTIES ARE ILLEGAL

WASHINGTON, Aug The extra
ordinary argument which began in
the office OF the Comptroller Of the
Treasury to-day was brought about
by Mr.. Bowler's refusal to issue a
warrant for about $4,000 in favor of
the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company, OF
Nebraska, certified to by the Auditor
aud by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, and by the Auditor sent to
the Comptroller for his action. MIR.
Bowler was in doubt, upon looking
into the case, OF the constitutionality
of the appropriation, to pay bounty
on the crop of 1891, contained in the
new tariff law. inasmuch as the
Court of Appeals of the District OF
Columbia had decided that .bounties
in themselves were unconstitutional ;
and he notified the claimants that
until lie was satisfied of the propriety
and legality of the law he should de-
cline to issue the warrant To- day
was fixed tor hearing argument on
the question.
This determination Of the Comp.
troller interested the cane sugar men
Of Louisiana far more than it did the
beet sugar men of Nebraska, as they
had FIVE millions at stake to about a
quarter of million by the Nebras-
kans. So Senators Gaffrey and Blan
chard and j. F. Semmes, of Louisi-
ara, joined ex.Senatc, Henderson, Of
Nebraska, in the effort to satisfy the
Comptroller that the proper thing to
do was to issue the warrants. They
failed to induce either Secretary Car
Isle or President Cleveland to inter.
fere iu behalf Of their clients, both
of those asserting that the Comp
troller was supreme in his sphere and
beyond any influence or any direc-
ton from them Senator Manderson
opened the case for the sugar men.

Minister Denly Will Guard
American Interests in
China.

WASHINGTON, Aug Inquiry at
the Department Of State to-day
brought to light the fact that more
than month ago, Minister DENLY
had secured from the Chinese govern
ment assurance that murderers of
American citizens woald suffer capi-
tai p nnishment, and following vigo-
rous insistauce on his part, that per-
sons implicated in the riots at Chang
Tu should be put to death. Mr..
Denby's action in this regard has re-
ceived the approval of the State De-
partment, and in view of the conf
dence imposed in him, it was not
considered necessary to send him
more explicit instructions in the
present troubles than to do all that
could be done for the protection of
American citizens.
1t was stated at the Department to
day that no doubt was felt there that
Mr.. DENLY would secure protection
of American interests IN the present
unsettled state of affairs Minister
DENLY and Admiral Carpenter. COM
