The Nebraska Supreme Court Decides
Against the Burlington at Lincoln.
The right Of city or town to assess an
occupa ton tax on a railroad corporation
was sustained by the Supreme Court at
Lincoln, Neb., which holds that such n
levy Is not in violation Of the interstate
commerce act, nor void because it taxes a
business transacted wholly within the city.
Further, the court says, it is not an at.
tempt to impose a tax ON the railroad de.

general assessment Of the railroads prop.

without pretense of secrecy, the pa
triots in the oppressed and reDeliious
isle. The last trip that the Virgnius
made was in the autumn of 1878, when
she left Kingston Jamaica, with ITS
volunteers, and complete armament,
and turned her helm toward the Cuban
coast. An accident to her machinery
Obliged the virginius to take temper
airy shelter in the harbor of Kingston,
and this delay sufficed to put the Span
fish authorities on her track, so that her
second start for the destined landing
was interrupted by the Spanish man
of-war Tornado, which, after pro-
tracted chase, effected the surrender
and capture of the Virginlus, and took
her to Cuba. Her crew-mostly New
Yorkers-had not been made acquaint-
ed with the object of the expedition.
But innocence is a word the Spanish
have yet to learn the meaning of, and
the unfortunate men were made to suf-
fer no less on that account. Then, too,
at the moment of capture, the Virgin
ius was in reality an ordinary mer-
chairman floating under the stars and
stripes, for every object that might
have caused suspicion had been thrown
overheard. Again, the capture was
made in British waters-a fact, how
ever, that was not sufficient to stop
the course of Spanish determination.
The Spanish authorities, according to
their custom, condemned the entire ex-
petition to death, without even the
formality of the flimsiest kind of in
vestigation. and on the pretext of pira-
cy on the high seas. On Nov. 2 the
four leaders of the expedition (includ-
ing Pedro Cespedes, brother of the
president of the Cuban republic) were
condemned to death, by order of Gen.
Juan Nepomuceno Burrlel. The SEN
tence was executed on the following
day, when the four martyred patriots
were bound, blindfolded and shot.
ERrdly had the smoke cleared from
above the bodies of these four lovers
of liberty when a second court martial
assembled to try the rank and file of
the expedition, including the captain
and crew OF the vessel. As IL was i'm
practicable to execute the entire body
OF victims at once, they were divided
into patches and on Nov. 4-the day
