TAXATION OF MORTGAGES.

The Acting Commissioner.

Collector Charles Fl. Treat, of the
Second International Revenue Dis
trict, has received final notification
from Robert Williams, Jr., Acting
Commissioner of the Department at
Washington, that every assignment
Of mortgage is subject to taxation.
The acting commissioners ruling is
the result of an inquiry from Wall
street lawyers. This is the decision.
ssIt is not necessary that an assign
ment of a mortgage should be one
representing mortgage sold in order
that tax shall accrue on the assign
ment.
1.-THE same reasoning is not appli-
cable TO assignments Of mortgages as
is applicable to conveyances, for the
requirement of the statute in the re-
spective cases is not similar. Every
assignment Of mortgage is subject
to taxation"

CAMP SPILLMAN, Keyser, Aug 3D.
Company L is winning all kinds OF
encomiums in camp. They have been
intensely soldierly and alert since
they reached here. On all sides off,
GERS and men OFFICIALLY and unofficially
have given them the highest OF
praise. They were the only ones in
camp who preserved discipline on the
very first night out and they have
kept up the good work steadily. Col.
G. n. Sims this morning compli-
mented them on the extreme cleanli-
ness OF their quarters and ia his re-
port will be equally open in his praise
He states that the company has the
best Buglers in the state in Cox and

Lieut.. Kunkle was this morning re-
lieved as officer of the day having been
on duty for the last twenty four
hours. In discussing him Col. Smith
commanding officer said. 81 want to
thank you for the very excellent order
you preserved. You left nothing to
be desired in the manner in which you
discharged your duties.
The tour was particularly severe
test as the men had been under tax
discipline and it was ordered that
they be shut down completely.
There was no noise or other disturb
anee after taps as there had been
on previous nights and all of the men
got good nights rest.
The men will be paid Ia camp
which while apparently a good move
is not endorsed by any of the company
commanders for various reasons which
are quite potent
A sham battle is on the program for
Saturday afternoon The regiment
will be disposed so as TO defend an
attack on the old fort which overlooks
the camp. Nearly forty yeas ago a
regimental camp was established on
the present camp ground and the fort
which the troops built is to be seen
A very interesting spectacle is expect

The health Of the men is generally
good. A few of them are slightly
knocked out by the indiscretions to
which green men are addicted when
first going into camp life. Major
Joseph and Hospital Steward Frank
Wood assisted by Sergeant st. Clair
all of Morgantown are looking after
their duties very assiduously.
Governor Atkinson will be here on
Saturday and the ceremonies incident
to his arrival will be very imposing.
Lieutenants Kunkle and Nicely have
been ordered up for denomination for

night. A ball was given the officers
