An Exciting Explosion.

On Monday at the drug store of B.
F. Hughes there occurred an accident
of peculiar nature, which to say the
least, was remarkable that no one was
hurt. Clerk Boyd, young man of Edin-
burg, who is with Mr.. Hughes in the
absence of Robert G.. Bickle, was mix.
ing a preparation, when all of sudden
and without a moments warming, an
explosion took place doing considerable
damage to the store and startled the
neighborhood. Mr.. Boyd was at work
at the prescription counter when the
accident happened. Fortunate for him
he was little hurt outside of a cut on
one of his hands and a few on his face.
The marble slate on the prescription
counter was broken as was also several
bottles containing medicine. The motor
in which the preparation was being
mixed was broken into thousand pieces
and for while there was great excite
ment prevailing. Inside of two minu-
ties after the explosion the store was
filled to suffocation with smoke and
people, but as soon as the extent of the
accident was learned, the crowd soon
dispersed. Mr.. Boyd was taken to his
home and at last accounts was resting
easy. He will be able to be out in q
few days.

An 'order for the payment of any

Such obligations are not under seal

Identifying, etc, so cents" Under
which head, if either, would the enclos-
ed copies be placed? We know them
as bonds.
2. The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue first decided that notary pub
lies certificates were not to be taxed,
but since | see it claimed that if the
consideration of n deed or paper &C
knowledged is under 800 then tax of
IL cents shall be paid on the certificate.
Schedule A says: "Certifcates of any
description required nv law not other
wise specified in this Act, 10 cents"
suppose the Commissioner puts a not
ary's certificate under this; but, if so,
why Is it exempt when the considera-
ton OF the paper acknowledged is over
$1OO2 F.
Reply.-The blanks sent us by onr
correspondent are simply various forms
of sealed promissory notes. Under
previous revenue laws containing prac- |
tically the same provisions concerning |
promissory notes as the law now IN |
force, the Internal Revenue Commits
sloner held that IAN instrument in the |
form OF promissOry note, under seal,
should be stamped at the same rate as
promissory note We are of opinion
tnat this would be sound ruling under
the present law.
enue has held that "the ordinary not
ary's jurat is not required to be stamp
ed" AS to acknowledgements, the De-
partment held at first that they require
a stamp, bus this ruling was afterwards
reversed. The last opinion we have
seen upon the subject is under date of
j uly rs, and in these words:
In the letter to you of the 18th in
slant, relative to recording documents
required by law to be stamped, and
published in treasury decisions, VOL 2,
o. 3, page 1O4, it was stated that certi-
hcates of acknowledgment to deeds or
mortgages required a 10-cent stamp as
certificates. This ruling has been re-
versed. It was matter of consider
able doubt, as there was no exception
Z ade in the Act of June 10, 1898. In
'he old Act, the law specially exempted
certificates of acknowledgment. (Sec-
ion 100, Act of June. 80, 1851 1t is
however, that such certifi-
oates are part of the deed or mortgage,
ind do not require stamp.
We have not seen any opinion in I
which 1t was held that the need of a e
lamp upon an acknowledgment was ! !
n anywise dependent upon the consid-
ration of the deed-NewYork Review.
