THE REVENUE ACT DECISION.
Judge Adams Says the Pol-TaX Must
be Made $13S.

be Made S1.3S.
Last night Immediately after the com
'jrtion Of argument in the asylum. cases
judge Adams heard argument touching
the constitutional equation of taxes In
the new Revenue Act.
This Act, by an error i'll its enroll
ment, levies 46 cents on the 800 valua-
ton of real and personal property, as
State tax, and $129 on the poll. The
Constitution, however, requires that the
poll-tax shall be three times the property
tax on 800, but that the poll-tax shall
never exceed 50, except for special pur
poses Therefore in order to preserve
this equation between property and poll,
the poll-tax should have been $1.3S.
The Governor brought suit against the
Auditor asking for Il writ of peramtOry
mandamus to compel him to put the poll
tax on the list at S1.3S.
The Attorney General appeared for
the Auditor and demurrcd to the COM
plant, Mcssrs. c.. A. Cook, John w.
Hinsdale and J. G. l.. Harris represented
the Governor.
The complaint set forth that, by an
rror the equation was disturbed, that
he tax Oh property is the standard for
'
10 be arranged from that.
The Attorney General in his demurrer
alleged simply that the facts set forth
in the complaint did not entitle the de-
fcndant 10 the relief asked.
Mr. Cook. speaking for the Governor,
contendcd that the Legislature having
fixed the property tax ut 43 cents. all
that il has to do is to say that I'VE
levy Il capitation tax 1t need not be
fixed. the Constitution fixes it TO con
form to the property tax. Mr. Cook
said that this equation having been
violated it should be adjusted according
TO the requirements of the Constitution.
The Attorney General, however. took
an opposite view of the matter and read
from Il decision of Judge Pearson de-
claring the poll-t1X to be the standard of
taxation. He contended that a failure
to observe the proper equation, that fail
IRE renders that part of the law uncon-
stiufional and void. Mr. Walser did
not think il competent for any court to
now come in and Iegislate on the matter.
He Thought it IA serious question as to
whether the defect can be rendered by
the court on whether that part of he
Revenue Act il entirely imperative.
The Judge decided in favor of the
validity of the law. and declared it as
his opinion that the poll-taX must be
increased to $1.3S instead Of remaining
$1.29 as in the enrolled act.
An appeal will be AIKEN at once to
the Supreme court to have the matter
settled finally.

G0RDY SENTENCED TO HANG

Belief That the Condemned Man VIII

Georgetown, Del, April ia large
crowd gathered in the courtroom here to-
day to hear the sentencing of James NJ.
Gordy, who was convicted yesterday of
murder in the first degree for Killing his
York
The lawyers for the defense made mo-
ton Thursday in arrest Of Judgment, but
they withdrew it and allowed sentence
to be passed.
Judge Lore sentenced Gordy to be hanged
on Friday, Tune IL.
There is a general belief that Gordy
will soon tellthe story Of how he Committed
the crime, although one of his Counsel is
of the opinion that he will never tcllit.
This lawyer gives as his reasons that al
though the counsel for the defense re-
peatedly begged Gordy To give them some
facts on which they could present evidence,
he would never eniighten them as TO his
movements in the slightest degree. There
are many peoplein the country. who, while
satisfied with the verdict, cling to the
belief that the murderer must have had

Covering her face with her handkerchief,
Mrs. Gordy continued: "The news has

MURDERER STILL AT LARGE
Efforts to Capture Bank Cashier
Stickney's Brutal Slayer.
Evidence of Il Desperate Fight I
fore the Victim Was Overcome
Throat Cut and Head Battered.

Somersworth, y. H, April 17.-"he cor
oner performed an autopsy today on the
body of Cashier Joseph y. Stickney, who
was murdered in the Great Falls National
Bank yesterday by a robber, who got away
with nearly 5000 of the banks money
He found ten or twelve wounds on the
head, most of them penetrating to the
skull The skull was cracked in several
places, and there was stellate fracture,
one point extending five inches in length
down over the right side Of the head,
toward the temple, All of these wounds
were evidently made with slung-shot,
which was found soaked in blood beside the
dead man The throat was cut just above
the Iarynx, and the cash laid it open clear
to the spine.
The windpipe and the right artery were
completely severed The body was found
in the corner behind the counter, the face
turned upward The cash in the throat
was evidently made with big knife and
was not as clean cut as it would have been
had the assassin welded a razor.
There is every indication that fight
took place in the bank, and that Mr.
Stickney resisted the robbcI to the bitter
end.
Every effort is being made to apprehend
the murderer The police in every town
in New England have been notified to keep
a close watch on all suspicious characters
The coroner impanelled jury this morn
ing, and an inquest will be held at 2
O'Clock this morning.

ALASKA BOUNDARY TREATY
Clause Discovered in 1t That Must
Prevent Ratification.
For a Little Land Gift From Eng
land This Government Would
Have Suffered Great LOSS.

President Cleveland sent to the Senate
on January 80 last an Alaskan boundary
convention, arranged between Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador, and
Secretary olney, which still remains on
the executive calendar, undisposed of. AT
the opening OF the present session Senator
Davis, the chairman OF the Committee On
Foreign Relations, explained the treaty
at length, and urged the Senate to ratify
it at once, stating that by its terms the
country would gain large addition val
liable territory. Senator Stewart, uf Ne
vada, however, objected to the considera-
ton OF the treaty al that time, and Senator
Davis announced that he would call it up
later, but has not done SO, apparently for
good reason.
1t is now discovered that the particular
clause in the agreement 10y which the
United States was said to gain about four
teen square miles OF terri tory through
the IbeTality OF the British government
was misunderstood both by Secretary 0lney
and the Committee on Foreign Relations,
and ii is not likely that the bound dairy treaty
in ITS present shape will again be considered
10y the Senate II il had not been for Sena-
tor Stewards objection, which it is tald
was not based on any knowledge of the
flaw in the treaty it would have been rati-
fled at once.
During the interval the terms of the
convention have teen examined, with the
result that certain Senators feel assured
that the wording of the third clause of the
first le, providing that, notwith-
standing the summit Of Mount st. Elias is
within the Canadian bounds, the Canadian
government is willing to divide it with the
United States because of it's convenience
in marking a new initial point, is really
bait to entice the United States into
complete abandonment of our ten
marine league claim throughout the
thirty-mile strip, between the 141st me-
ridian, west longitude, and the head Of the
Portland Canal.
In other words, the Canadians proposed
TO put the United States on record as di-
vitling with them the summit of noun
tain that lies wholly within our thirty
mile strip and its intersection with the
141st meridian. Using this point or
false departure as a precedent OF our own
making. the Canadians would insist upon
applying the rule all the way down the
coast OF the islands and mainland, to the
mouth of the Portland Canal The appl-
states practically all of the territory in
that region worth having, and which the
Government claims.

YOUNG EVANS Wins HIS SU 7
Justice 0'Neill Gives Judgement
Against Sculptor Dunbar.
Decision That Nothing in the Ng-
ture of Money Contract Was
shown, aud Artist Wen Pad.

The case Of the sculptor, L, s. j. Dunbar
against Frank L. Evans, before Justice OF
the Peace O'Neiil, was decided this morn
ing in favor of the defendant, MI. Evans
Mr.. Dunbar entered suit against Evans for
$3.50 for tuition given his son during the
time between January "a. 1894, and July,
1895, which he said Evans father had
contracted to pay
The arraugelnsht, as Mr. Dunbar stated
it, was that he agreed to take young Evans
as his apprentice, receiving money CON
sideration during the first two years of
the three years term, and also the serv-
ices of young Evans. During tile third
year Evans was TO give his services alone.
At the end OF year anda half Dunbar dis
charged young Evans, but afterward TOOK
him back He staid a few days on this
occasion, and was then withdra wn from
Dunbar's employ by his father
The case, as il was developed yesterday,
was to tie effect that Evans left Dunbar's
employ because Dunbar wished him to pose
in the nude for him. 1t was also stated
by the defendant that no money consdera-
ton had been spoken of in the agreement
which Mr. Dunbar had made with Evans;
that the boy was simply TO give his services
in return for his instruction, and that no
period OF apprenticeship was named.
Justice O'Neill reserved his decision last
night but rendered it this morning in favor
of young Evans, stating very emphaticaily
that nothing in the nature of a money con-
tract had been shown, and that he was OF
the opinion that Dunbar had been very well
repaid for the instruction that he had
given.
Mr. Evans stated this morning to a
Times reporter that during all the time
his SOD had been in Dunbar's employ the
sculptor had done almost nothing toward
the education OF the boy, that he had kept
him at the manual labor about the stu,tio
and had done nothingto encourage him. He
said also that Dunbar had never done any
thing to help his sou to get the sitting
for bust from Secretary Morton, OF the
Agricultural Department
Mr. Evans said that instead OF this he
had gotten the sitting from Secretary
Morton himself, and that although Mr.. Dun
bar called twice at Secretary MortOns
while the bust was being made, unasked,
and made two changes in the bust, also
unsolicited, Secretary Morton had both Of
these cha nges removed, andleft word with
his people that Dunbar should not be adj
mitted again during the work on the bust
Mr. Evans further stated that the scuip-
tor had reported his version OF the story
among the artists in Washington, obtain
ing their sympathy on his side. and making
it very unpleasant for his son in many IN
stances.
