TaIIahassec Assessments.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 1.-THE citizens
specially interested in municipal affairs
have held a second meeting and appointed
a committee TO confer with the city coun-
Gil
The tax payers who attended these meet
ings have been termed by some as kick
ers," and the meetings as indignation
meetings" This is unjust and unwar-
ranted. Many tax payers believe that the
the purpose of taxation, is contrary to
the constitution and the law, in that the
city assessor has exceeded the states
valuation of the same property for taxa
ton. Tax payers only ask that this ques-
ton be legally determined. If the mat
ter is settled in favor of the tax payers
gally taxed; If the case goes against
them, they viii submit gracefully. There
is nothing personal in this matter. 1t is
purely a question of legality that has

Atlanta. Ga. April u.-Alexander Carr.
the convicted murderer OF Capt Il. o.
King, was placed on trial FOR lunacy before
Ordinary Calhoun to-day The trial at
tracted such a crowd Of spectators and eS-
pert witnesses that the o-Ginary's Office
would not accommodate them and the pro-
ceedIngs were conducted in the main sU-
perior court room, which was crowded
throughout the day. At O'Clock this af-
ternoon there were still Ions list OF ex-
perts 10 be examined and the investigation
VIII be resumed tomorrow.
1t is a l.fe and death matter with Carr.
The supreme court denied him a new trial.
after he was convicted and under sentence
of death. Upon the judicial trial the plea
of insanity was made. but 1t did not cut
any figure with the jury. although then. as
now. Carr presented pitiable spectacle
of shattered humanity as he appeared IN
the court room. To-day he was led IN by
two stalwart bailiffs and had TO be handled
as carefully as a child. He sat all day
with his head bowed almost to his knees
continually picking at the knee Of his
trousers with finger nails that have grown
out until they resemble a hawks talons.
The experts differ as to Cars sanity,
many of them believing that he is feig1=
Ding All the prominent physicians in toWE
have been summoned as witnesses. Some
thing like a dozen of them to-day analyiz-
ed the symptoms Of the various forms Of
insanity for the jury and gave it as their
opinion that Carr is insane on the other
hand several physicians, who stand at the
top notch, and who have made careful
study of the case have testified that his
mind is sound and tomorrow others VIII
follow on the same line.
Cars father his brother, cousin and
brother-in-law were witnesses to-day.
The father testified that two Of his daugh-
tiers had become insane and that insanity
ran in his family. He told how, when only
IA years of age. Alex Carr took notion
TO have his fingers trimmed of 10 the same
length, getting his sister of years TO DO
ithe job. She succeeded in cutting off one
finger with an AK before the operation was
interrupted. At another time he talked
about blasting a route TO China, and once
attempted suicide.
Jones Osborne, the brother-in-law, testi-
fed to the insanity Of his wife, Carr
sister and TO the insanity Of her sister,
now in the asylum.

CoLvIN GETS A CERTIFICATE.
The Bond Suit Now Goes Back to the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
Jacksonville, Fla. April lin the Uni
ted States circuit court for the Southern
district of Florida, Judge j. W. Locke
to-day granted a certificate on the ques-
tion of jurisdiction in the suit Of John
II. Colvin against the city of Jackson
willie which was dismissed by the supreme
court of the United States April l, and
the case now goes back to the supreme
court for a rehearng. This suit was
brought by Mr.. Colvin, an ex-alderman
of Chicago, who owns property IN Jack
sonville, to restrain the city from dis
posing of S1,000,UUJ of city Improvement
bonds, and was dismissed by Judge Locke
FOR want of jurisdiction on the grounds
that the complainants' property would
not be liable to taxation for a sufficient
amount to meet the interest on the bonds
during the life of the bonds to bring
the case within the jurisdiction of the
court. An appeal was taken from this
decision to the supreme court, which
dismissed the suit on the grounds that
st had not been property ce0ltied to the
court from the court below. The decision
of the circuit to-day in granting the
certificates takes the case back to the
supreme court, and in the meantime the
city cannot realize on its bonds.

THE LIE coNTE PEAR.
An Immense Crop Promised This
Year in south Georgia.

Townsville. Ca. April 1.-THE lie
Conte and Kieffer pears promise an abun-
dant yield. The trees have all the young
fruit for which there is room on the
branches. For several years past either
the cold or the blight has about ruined the
crop. So far this season there is no sign
Of blight, while there has been ample
time for its appearance. Many people
now believe the trees win escape this
destructive disease altogether. They
never looked more luxur!ant and promis-
ing Trees badly hurt in the past have
fully recovered their beauty and symme-
try and seem to wave their wealth of
foliage in exultant joy while the young
fruit laden branches nod up and down in
serene hopefulness. Shall the blight come
and wither all this prophecy OF good?
VIII this stealthful enemy, more insidi-
Gus than wild beasts, or vandals, or even
nre-Steal upon US in the night ana scorch
and destroy before breakfast in the morn
ing all the green hopes Of the present?
1t may even be so. We shall see.
The full moon in April is gone and about
all danger OF frost. If there Is no blight
the pear crop from this county may reach
quarter to a half million bushels. The
railroads VIII be put TO their utmost ca
pacity to move 1t. Unless there is or
ganization among the growers and proper
distribution the results viii be disastrous.
II tra1nlOaQ after trainiOad is dumped into
the old markets a glut must result, and
there viii not be freight realized. New
markets must be found-new disposition
made Of them in the way of canning,
desiccating or making wine, vinegars,
preserves or jams. The people OF this
section are promised a fabulous crop, and
this fabulous crop IS threatening loss TO
its producers by neglectful and thr!ftless
methods. Who will move in the matter?
Another thing this spring will demon
strate. That is that Thomas county IS
great peach country. The writer has al
ways claimed this for this immediate
section. A number of growers have plant
ed peach orchards, and this season will
witness their first fruits. Time was when
It was thought that the peach belt
stopped at Albany, II. indeed, It reached
that far down. This spring will see inn
mense quantities of peaches gathered
from the orchards south of Albany
reaching down into this county.
The grape Industry, covering this same
territory, has reached a magnitude few
people would be willing to believe. De-
spite the croakers. this is a great coun-
try-one peculiarly blessed by a benefit
cent creator, and one truly flowing with
milk and honey and full of cream and
peaches, which is better still.

Bitter Opposition to the Silver
Party shown.
THOMPSON, Ca, March 18th,
Populist convention of the Tenth dis
trict of Georgia met here today, and
was called to order by James Bar
rett, of Richmond county, who was
made chairman. A committee consist
ing of C. H. Ellington, of McDuffie;
G. e. McGregor of Warren; w. ID.
Dees, of Richmond. and Allen Ed
wards, colored, of Talferro, was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions express
ing the sentiments of the convention.
The committee offered a resolution in
dorsing the Omaha platform; de-
clared the money question to be the
great question of the day; declared
for the free coinage of silver and op-
position to national banks, and called
on Gov. Atkinson to Immediately or
der an election. These resolutions
were adopted unanimously. William
Halves, of Warren county, nominated
Thomas q. Watson to be the Populist
candidate for congress, and Mr.. Wat
son was nominated without opposi-
ton. Mr.. Watson then appeared be-
fore the convention and spoke for an
hour He called on the Democrats to
give him a fair showing, AID declared
that If they did not have a majority
of the votes he did not desire to rep
resent the district. His speech
throughout was mild and conserva-
tive, and was loudly applauded.
Speeches were made by several dele
gates, the chief characteristic of
which was an attack on the fourth,
or silver party.
