TENNEssEE's ASSESSMENT.

Temporary Injunction in Favor of
the Railroads.
Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 2S.-Judge Clark
OF the United States circuit court has de-
cided the case of the railroads VS.. the
state board of equalizers in favor of the
former. The new railroad commission,
in making out its tax list, assessed the
railroad and telegraph companies in the
state about $30,000O00 higher than the as
sessment Of the previous year. The rail-
road companies thereupon enjoined the
board of equalizers from certifying to the
controller the approved assessments. The
court grants a temporary injunction but
with the proviso that the railroads pay
the taxes to the state on the basis of the
taxation of 1867.

MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY.
A PROBABLE CLUE TO THE MURDER
ERS.

What appears to be murder was
probably committed last tuesday
night near Deanwood.
Wednesday morning the dead body
of William Lazenberry, colored, was
found in Culvert near the railroad in
the vicinity of Deanwood.
There was deep, clean cut on the
back of the mans head. 1t looked as
if inflicted by some sharp instrument
and undoubtedly caused almost instant
death.
| Just how the man met with this in
jury is unknown. 1t is certain he was
not struck by train. The position of
the body was face downward, and signs
of a struggle were visible OH the
ground.
An engineer coming in on the 9
O'Clock train from Baltimore was the
first to see the body. When the train
stopped at Deanwood he informed
Mounted Officer Jack Boland, who no.
tilted the Ninth precinct police station.
A patrol wagon was sent to the police
and the body brought to the morgue.
Coroner Carr was notified. and, after
an investigation at O'Clock.
Morgue Master Schoenberger
searched the dead mans clothes and
found numerous receipts made out to
William Lazenbury. Other papers
discovered showed that Lazenberry
was the mans name, and that he is a
prominent member of Columbia Lodge
No. 1876, of Odd Fellows.
He was also treasurer of the COM
mittee which has in charge the collec-
ton Of funds tor the purpose of erect
ing a hall for the Colored Lodge o.
Odd Fellows in Georgetown. AssO
/ ciated on this committee are Ralph
1 Lee, lawyer on 18th street, between
+ and G. streets northwest, and Jane:
Y l. Turner, at :, 900 NJ street northwest
: Maurice Honesty, secretary of Co
lumbia Lodge, stated that Lazenbur!
t last Tuesday night attended meeting
:, on Twenty eighth street, between {
S and p streets northwest. He left tht
= hall in time to catch the Io.45 train tC
d Deanwood, and did not collect tht
e money from the members, as is his Gus
a tom, he being treasurer of the assocla
S ton.
y 'Lazenbery was about forty year
s old" said Mr.. Honesty. "He neve
If drank liquor, and | cannot account 70
