The readers of the MESSENGER
will remember the circumstances sur
rounding a wreck which occurred on
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Allan
tic Railroad, Lear Berlin, several
months ago. They also remember that
Mr.. Samuel C. Rulings. of Berlin, was
arrested and lodged in Jail on the
charge OF having wrecked the train.
He was subsequently released on bond,
and no indictment having been found
is prima tacia evidence that he was
innocent of the charge Mr. Rulings,
by Wilson Il Collins. attorneys, has
brought suit, by titling, against the
railroad company, which is said TO be
a suit for damages for false arrest and
imprisonment. We believe he has a
good cause. He has acted wisely in
the selection of his council, and he may
rest assured his case will be prosecuted
with ability and for all there is in it,
We have never believed Mr.. Rulings
committed the crime neither do we
believe the poor boy, Ellis, who now
languishes in the penitentiary, is re.
sponsible for the act he committed
because of his mental condition. In
addition to the above evidence Ellis
fully exonerates Mr.. Rulings He says
Rulings was in no wise connected with
the wrecking, that he never knew Mr..
Rulings and he could not recognize
him i'll a crowd OF six persons who went
TO see him Ellis while in ilil.
There is difference Of opinion
among persons who have read the new
assessment law rs to whether the spec
ial rate of taxation imposed by what
is known as the Newcomer plan
upon shares of stock in corporations is
not limited to the shares of companies
Incorporated under the laws OF other
States The wording Of the law is
certainly susceptible OF this interpreta-
ton, and If il is a correct Interpretation
all owners of stock in corporations doing
BUSINESS under the laws Of Maryland
will have TO pay the rate Of taxation
levied by the counties in which they
reside, and will not receive the benefit
of the reduced rate Of III cents for
State and 80 cents for county taxes
imposed by the Newcomer plan" a
distinction seems also To he made he.
tween bonds and stocks OF home com
panies, the one being taxed at Il
cents and the other at the rate levied
upon other property for State and
county purposes. II this idea is cor
rect. and we believe ii is, the losses
anticipated in the State will not occur,
as nearly all Of the shares OF stock
owned in the counties of Maryland are
issued by State corporations, and they
will continue as formerly to paw at the
rate levied upon other property In
Baltimore city, where holdings of tor
eigu stock is large. the loss will he APP
