They Have Been Transferred With Those
OF His Family.
Springfield, Ill. March 13.-The re-
mains of Abraham Lincoln were trans
ferred from the crypt of the national
Lincoln monument to a temporary
vault There were no ceremonies in
connection with the event and few
witnessed the disinterment of the pres
ident's remains and their removal to
the temporary vault.
As soon as the remains of the presi-
dent are placed in the temporary vault
two great stones weighing over four
tons will be put in position to block
the entrance and as the work OF de
molishing the old monument gees for
ward the stone from 1t will be piled
around the vault as an additional safe
guard.
The removal of the body was made
necessary by the demolition of the
monument preparatory to, its entire
reconstruction on a different plan for
which 100000 was appropriated by
the last legislature.
When the cedar box containing the
metallic casket was exposed to view it
was found to be in a bad state of decay
and in a few years more it would have
entirely rotted away. This is due to
the moisture which has found its way
i2to the concrete masonry which formed
a covering for the casket. The casket
itself was not opened. that ceremony
being postponed until the remains are
placed in their final resting place upon
the completion of the new monument
The temporary vault prepared for the
casket is twelve feet square and con-
structed with double decks, thus in
surfing room for the six bodies now
under the monument

Franchises Not Taxable.

Austin, Tex, March 12.-The corpora

district court here in securing from
Judge Norris an opinion throwing out
of court the hundreds of franchise tax
suits pending against all quasi-public
corporations for taxes claimed to be
due on their franchises The conten-
ton was that such franchises were
taxable the same as personal or real
property, and under such contention
hundreds of suits have been brought
all over the state to recover taxes, in
some instances as far back as 1880, and
representing thousands upon thousands
of dollars. Judge Morris, the presiding
judge, held that such franchises were
in no wise taxable under the law, thus
scoring big victory for the corpora
