The Smith party paper does not like the
way the Journal spells it, namely, Ter
ruth" Perhaps it prefers the Rev.
Chadband's spelling. 1t was thus that Mr..
Chadband discoursed: II say tbs brother
present here among us is devoid of parents
devoid of relatives, devoid of fiocks and
herds, devoid of gold, devoid of silver and
of precious stones because he is devoid of
the light that shines in upon some OF us
What is that light? What is it? l ask you

band, the ray of rays, the sun of suns,

says Mr.. Chadband, SAY not to me that it
is not of the lamp Of lamps. 1 say to you it

TO you whether you like it or not; nay, that
the less you like it the more L will proclaim

is this Terewth?' The Reverend Chadband,
owing to Interruptions, never fully an
swered his own conundrum, but Mr.. Chad
band F. Smith, looking upon the Indianap-
oils public in the light of a Poor 10, has
for rude Interruptions, but will print the
Herewith every day in easy object lessons.
If the needless public doesn't heed he is
confident that it, too, will be smashed. The
ChadbandS are always with us.

now assessed at 500 an acre. AS the valu-
alton of real estate is supposed to be upon
a cash basis. the land cannot be worth
over that amount. When the appraisers of
land to be sold the city for parks consid-
cred the matter they valued the land at
$500 an acre. Has the land been under
valued for taxation or appraised at three
times it's value when it is to be sold to the
city? Here is a question for the mayor and
his friends
Nor is this all. Mr.. Bookwalter has found
other interesting transactions in the rec
ords of the Park Commission. There are
lots on Raymond street which are included
in the park system The lots on both sides
of this street are valued at $50 each by
the assessors, but when 1T comes TO the APP
praisers appointed to put price upon
these lots, which the people must pay, those
on one side of Raymond street were APP
praised at 500 and those on the other side
at $40 each Why this difference, since the
assessors make the values the same? Is
it because the lots for which the city must
pay $40 each belong to Mayor Taggart?
Mayor Taggart may not know of the con-
scfenceIess indiscretions which the ap-
praisers have perpetrated In his behalf
He may be shocked that they have come
to light. If such is the case, he can easily
disclaim all knowledge and take steps to
set aside a system of appraisals which
seems to be a series of raids upon the prop
erty of taxpayers. Mr.. Taggart has been
prompt to dsavow and dispreve charges
less important than those involved in the
records of the Park Commission. VIII he
be as prompt to denounce the attempt of
the appraisers to put more than $4,000 of
the peoples money into his pockets?

Ruddie Brown Suffers Injurfe. which
May End His Life.

'Budofe Brown, a colored resident of
jackson Hall alley was carried to the
Emergency Hospital last night by the police
of the fourth precinct. he having sustained
a severe injury to his back His spine. IL is
feared, is injured, and his condition is Sc
rious, although the doctors at the hospital
are hopeful of his recovery A keg or beer
was what caused the trouble leading up 10
the use of a base bali bat on the injured
mans back, and Harry Gross and Edward
Queen have been committed to Jail charged
with being responsible for Browns condi-
ten.
1t appears that Brown had the keg of
beer at his house, and he invited number
or friends to help him get rid of the bever-
age. When most OF the beer had disappear
ed the men took a stroll over to South
Washington, and landed in Fighting alley.
A game of crap was started in the alley,
and, as usual, a row followed Several
members of the party were considerab bly,
under the influence of the beer and hardly
knew just what they were doing.
Brown, IL is stated, seemed anxious for a
fight, and he got more than he wanted.
During the first struggle he was cut across
the face with a penknife. He went away
to tell his troubles to a policeman. and
when he returned the trouble was renewed.
Then it was that he received the blow
which knocked him down and caused him
the more serious injury Later in the night
the police arrested Queen and Gross. and
they were taken to the Police Court this
morning.
Brown the charge against the prisoners
was made assault with intent to Kill. On
this charge they were committed TO await
the result of Browns injuries.

The Last Display.
There has not been a police parade since
1872. and the increase in the force since
that time will cradle Major Moore to make
a much better showing with his men than
he did on the former occasion Police
drills have been held several times since
the organization Of the department, one
OF them having been reviewed by Major
Moore, when he was President Johnson's
private secretary. He stood on the por-

FLEMING CASE ARGUED.
Plea of Defense by Special Examiner
of Pension Office.


Geo. B. Fleming the special examiner Of
the pension office, who was indicted in the
southern district OF Iowa the 21st of last
month for alleged Justification of his ac-
counts, was yesterday afternoon surrender
ed by his surety to the marshal, whereupon
his counsel, Messrs. Z. V. Brookshire and
c. L. Trevitt, filed a petition for his release
by writ of habeas corpus. Judge Bradley
directed the writ to issue, returnable be-
fore him this morning.
In support of the petition Mr.. Fleming
submitted that the indictment does not
charge the commission of any ofrense
against the United States or any state
thereof, and questioned the jurisdiction of
the District court. He also contended that
he was committed for removal by one
Samuel c. Mills. who wrongfully assumes
the office of United States commissioner"
When the case came up for hearing
this morning District Attorney Davis and
Assistant District Attorney Baker repre-
scented tie government. Mr.. Davis at the
outset explained that the question OF Jus
tice Mills to act as a commissioner of the
United States did not arise In the case He
frankly acknowledged that, as stated in
The Star at the time. he had several days
ago questioned the legality of the appoint
ment Of Justice Mills a commissioner of
the United States, and still believes him
to have been unlawfully appointed.
By consent of counsel on both sides the
question of Justice Mills appointment was
not considered, and Messrs. Brookshire and
Trevitt briefly argued the case, Mr.. Baker
replying.
Judge Bradley took the case under ad-
visement. Mr.. Fleming being continued on
