Attorney-Ge Fitzgerald, when seen

ment to be presented in the railroad case
in the United States court to-day, but he
delayed his work long enough to say:
"The dispatch from Washington an
nouncing the decision in relation to the
tax case is too meager to enable me to
make any extended statement as to the
merits of the decision, but it means this:
The railroads will have to pay their taxes
to the State. 1t means that they will have
to pay about S1,0O0,000 into the State
treasury, and it means that this is an end
to all quibblcs about Federal franchises
and the like. This decision also means
that in the future the railroads will have
to pay their taxes"

THg Rash MURDER CASE.

Henry Gibbs. a Coiored Man. Arrested
on Suspicion OF Being an Accomplice
In the Crime.
CENTRRvmLE, March Estates At.
torney Harper has secured the services OF
Detectives Pumphrey and Ssibold TO
investigate the murder OF Samuel Rash.
They spent yesterday with Deputy
Sheriff Roberto In making q thorough
examination OF the surroundings, and
while they are very reticent as to any
disclosures, as any publicity would In
terfere with their plans, the following
facts we're elected;
Last night they caused the arrest OF a
colored man, Henry Gibbs. and he was
committed until Saturday on the charge
OF carrying concealed weapons. He bad
lived formerly with Thomas Brown and
recently was much sought after Thy him.
The statements OF Gibbs were contra
dlctory and 10 was deemed advisable to
take him In charge In the hops that
further evidence from him would bs OF
value, either In favor Of or against Brown,
as he Is known to have been frequently
In company with the latter.
On the first visit OF the detectives to
10 the home of Brown pistol was found
IN uufthu uNaWtl III MS IoOmt buJ \
later examination showed that IL had been
removed. Gibbs denied any knowledge
Of II, but on searching him revolver
was found In his pocket. 1t Is now
thought that the tracks Of the two
vehicles in the peach orchard In the rear
of Rash's home, have a most important
bearing on the case, and II this ls true,
more than one person was directly or
indirectly concerned In the commission
OF the crime. Messrs Humphrey aud
Seibold state that they are secur
ing points that will result In
satisfactory evidence against the guilty
party or parties, but do not yet justify
any definite conclusion. The deed was
evidently done by some one thoroughly
familiar With the environments OF the
home OF Mr. Rash, The body will be ex
humed and a post mortem examination
made In order TO discover the exact cause
Of death and what vital wounds were In
flcted Presumably there can be no
doubt that death resulted from the effects
Of the gun shot wound. but precise and
positive evidence Is desired. States At
torney Harper Is highly commended for
his Jealous, though cautious handling Of
the case.
