Camden County VS.. Washington
Township.

tOWnSHh0s
The opinion of the Supreme Court in the
case of Camden Co. VS.. " ashington township
was delivered by Justice Gilbert Collins
last Thursday, and is in favor of the plain
tiff. The suit grew out of the refusal
of Camden county to pay taxes on their
poor house farm, located in said township
The plaintiffs had assessed and collected
taxes on the property for years up to 1895,
when the Board of Freeho' ders of that
county, through the advice of its
Solicitor Henry S. Scovel, declined
payment under the general tax law
that gives county or municipal prop
erty immunity from taxation The town
ship, through its Counsel, A. H. Swack-
hamer, held that inasmuch as the property
was located in tax district in another
county and received benefits Of government
to the maintenance of which the owners
did not contribute by taxation, that pro
vision of the tax laws did not apply Ii
was further held by the township that the
county had acquired more land than was
necessary to the needs of the institutions
and offered proof of products sold.
The Justice held that the last proposition
would be we'll taken by the State, but
could not be set up by the township, and
that the tax law gave immunity from
taxation.

issue was as to whether a certain word

ward disclaimed any intention of using
Should appear in the permanent record
Mr.. Hepburn offered to withdraw mo-
ton he made to make the record con-
form to the stenographer's report if Mr.
Norton would again disavow the word
on the floor, but this Mr.. Norton de-
clined to do, and, after a long debate,

RELICS FOUND.
Interesting Discoveries Made Relating to
the Mound Builders.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 13.-Interesting relics
of prehistoric times has been discover
ed on the banks of the Chippewa river,
in northern Wisconsin, just between
Maple and Potato creeks. A party of
hunters discovered three mounds at
this spot whose curious appearance and
symmetrical construction at once indi
Gated that they were the work of the
Mound Builders. The skull and leg
bones of a human being were found
close to the bottom of the mound and
were taken out in fairly good condi-
tion.
The skull was as large around as
half bushel measure. and Dr. McCor-
mick estimated the height of the man,
judging by the bones of the leg, to be
at least nine feet and six inches. The
skull and chest of another skeleton,
much smaller than the first, probably
woman. were found beside the other.
While excavating, there was picked
up slender rod of copper, finely mold
ed and as rigid as a piece of steel. The
rod is about double the thickness of
shoemaker's needle and nearly IL
inches long. So finely tempered is the
copper that the strongest man could not
bend or break it.

ty by successive stages to congressman,
governor and finally to the presidency.

family which was transplanted from
England to the hills of Virginia. The
