MICHIGAN RAILROADS.
Recommendation Made In the Annual Re
port OF the Commissioner.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 3l.-Sybrant
Wesselius, state railroad commissioner.
has submitted to the governor his an
nual report. In addition to the usual
statistical and advisory matter the re-
port recommends:
Increase of the tax upon railroad
property, to be accomplished by a gen
eral revision of the law taxing all
auasi-public corporations and not linn
tied to railroads only; repeal OF all laws
providing for a tax on gross earnings
as being unfair to the property OF pri-
vate individuals not having this privi-
lege: all railroads should not be taxed
alike, because their franchises are not
of equal value. In determining the val
ne of the franchise the earning power
should be considered, but for no other
purpose payment of all taxes realized
from corporations to the state treasury
heavy penalty inserted in all tax
laws governing taxation OF corpora
tions if the tax is not paid when due
so as to discharge appeals and Ions

Wore Lirht Wanted.

The bicyclists and others using ogle-
thorpe avenue at night, are DESTROYS OF
having electric lights placed at the cor
nors OF Price and Houston streets. The
convenience Of the street for bicycling
makes 1t very attractive, especially to
those who can only go short distance
from home. The character of the houses
on the eastern end of the street Is well
known, and the darkness which now en-
velopes the street from the police barracks
eastward Is entirely suitable to its pres
ent inhabitants. While Il is not likely
that any effort TO clear the street OF these
people win be made at once; ~ Il We're
better lighted a step would be taken IN
that direction, and the disorderly charac-
tors, both male and female, who now dis
port themselves on the streets in that Sec
ton az night, would not find Il so well
suited to their purposes. Those who use
the street at night would appreciate the
placing of lights at the corners named.

BERRY DEMPsEY's DEATH.
Daisy's Murdered Marshal Was n
Hero of YamacraV's Riot.

Berry Dempsey, marshal of Daisy, on
the Georgia and Alabama railroad about
forty miles from Savannah, who was kill
ed by a negro Saturday, May l. was well
known in Savannah, having resided here
for several years.
Dempsey is said by his acquaintance to
have been one of the pluckiest men that
ever lived. His home was WATERFORD, S.
c., where as a boy he was a participant
in the exciting scenes which preceded the
redemption of South Carolina from the
reconstructionists. On one occasion he
was attacked by a band of negroes and
nearly killed. His assailants thought that
they had killed him, and dragging his
body into the woods, covered it with brush.
He recovered consciousness, made his way
home and recovered from his injuries. AS
a memento of this affair he carried hole
in his head large enough to lay an egg.
in, the result of a blow from some blunt
instrument. After coming to Savannah,
Dempsey worked as a carpenter in the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
shops When the Yamacraw riot of sew
eraI years ago occurred he was one of the
first on the scene, and went to the assist
ance of Policeman Cronin and McMurray
when they were hard pressed by a gang
of negroes.
The manner of Dempsey's death was
worthy of the man. Acting in his capac-
ity as marshal, he had arrested a negro
for disorderly conduct. The prisoner re-
sisted, and while attempting to subdue
him, another negro named Bacon came up
and shot the marshal Although desper-
ately wounded, Dempsey did not release
his hold upon his prisoner until assistance
reached him. In the mean time the negro,
who fired the shot, had escaped. The
brave marshal was removed to his home
where he died the next morning. Although
the killing occurred over a week ago, no
description of the murderer has been sent
out and no information concerning the af-
fair has reached the police department
here except such as came by hearsay.

SUCCESSION OF THE APOSTLES.
Rev. c. II. StrOng's Sermon on Episco-
palinnism.

pRlihnism.
Rev. c. II. Strong preached last night
at St Johns church upon the apostolic
succession. He held that Christ laid the
foundations for the church in the forty
days which he spent on earth after his
resurrection, and that the work was con-
tinued by the apostles.
The term of apostle fell into disuse, he
said, out OF respect to the mon who had
given the term its significance. when the
bishops succeeded TO the duties Of the apos-
ties. There had always existed since he
said, bishops, presbyters or priests and
deacons, the three orders established by
the apostles.
Although records exist in proof of this
claim, II was not necessary to attempt to
prove apostolic succession any more than
St is necessary to prove that everybody
had grandfathers and great grandfathers.
II is an entirely natural succession. The
liturgy OF the church is the natural out
growth of the conditions prevailing at the
formation Of the church, Mr.. Strong said.
The Jewish faith had always been litur-
gical, and it was only natural that the
Jewish Christians should introduce the
liturgy into the new church. Within "a
short time after the establishment OF the
church there were four liturgies or
prayer books. the word liturgy meaning
that the people took part in the service.
The Episcopal church inherited the lit
urgy Of 50. John, left by one OF the dis
ciples of that apostle I'm Gaul and trans
ported from Gaul 10 Britain. After the
Introduction Of the liturgy Of St. Peter by
st. Augustine the liturgy OF the country
was divided between the TWO turgies that
OF st. John being used in the northern
part and that OF ST. Peter Go the southern

Repairs to Ocean Steamship COM
pany's Vessels to Be Made Here.
The Ocean Steamship Company's YES
sells sailing from New York, Boston and
Philadelphia will now cease to purchase
supplies in those cities. With the sailing
of the vessels from those ports yesterday
the last of the supplies to be bought for
the company in the north were brought
out, and hereafter all supplies will be pur-
chased in Savannah.
All repairs that can be made here on the
company's vessels will, when necessary, be
done in Savannah. The local shops of
the Central railroad have been accustom-
ed to do much of the lesser repairing on
the steamships, and. herafter they will
do it all, unless repairs are sometimes re-
quired which it is beyond the capacity of
the shops to make. If this is ever the
case the foundries of the city will have
an opportunity to do the work. When ex-
tensiVe repairs or overhauling is to be
done on the vessels, they will be taken
north. This is the case with the City of
Augusta, which will have new engines and
boilers put in at New York. She will be
locked there for that purpose next week.
Vice President Egan of the steamship
company says il is the intention of the
company to centralize all of it's expendi-
lures as far as may be possible in SaVan-
nah. Everything required for the opera
ton of the company will be procured here,
and the company's stores in New York
and Boston and Philadelphia have been
abolished. Mr. w. A. Kinchley, former
ly port steward at New York, is now port
steward, with storerooms at the company
wharves in Savannah.
