sALIsBURY's BAD BREAK.
Uses the Queens Visit as an Excuse
to Tell Irishmen They Can't
Be Independent.

NEW YORK, May 1O-A dispatch
to the Tribune from London, says:
Lord Salisbury took the grace out Of
the recent visit Of the queen to Ireland
by the vehemence with which he
warned Irishmen that recent events in
South Africa proved that there could
not he practical independence any
where in the empire with opportuni-
ties for arraying hostile forces against
the imperial government. 1t was a
trenchant but acrid speech, and was
not well timed.

TAxpAYER MAKES OBJECTION.
Interesting Case as to Municipal
Levies in COIIinsviIIe.

A protest, in the shape of a suit IN
equity, was fled in the Superior Court yes
terday against municipal taxation of land
and other property in Collinsville. The
claim is made that the property is ex-
empted from municipal taxation by virtue
of city ordinances, that were in the nature
of contracts. and that were passed nearly
half a century ago.
The piaindff in the case against the city
is Mrs. Marianne Appleton Schley, who
sues as the Administrative of the estate
or James Montfort Schley. The
contention is made in the petition that the
city has not fulfilled its obligations as 10
Collinsville, that were incurred by reason
or the adoption of past ordinances. and
that, therefore, the recently adopted tax
ing ordinance Is void and of TO effect.
Inc petitioner recites that in her repre-
sentative capacity she is the owner Of
about twenty acres OF land in ColHusville
that the city has seen fit arbitrarily to
divide into lots of certain dimensions and
TO assess for taxation. This division Rnd
assessment for taxation. 1t Is stated, is il
legal and without warrant or authority of
law. The amount of taxes assessed
amounts to something more than $500. and
II Is averred that under the authority
granted him by such taxing power, City
Marshal John Power mas advertised the
property and Is proceeding to offer ii for
sale. II the sale is permitted to take place,
the petition AYERS, irremediable loss, suf-
fering and injury will result to the plain
tin and those whom she represents.
The petition declares that in the year
1853 the Mayor and Aldermen of the city
or Savannah passed an ordinance, by
which 1t was declared that the land stu
ated in Collinsville should be exempted
from municipal taxation until the plan of
the city had been extended so as to cover
the addition made by this ordinance to
the corporate limits. 1t is averred that
because Of the oEty's failure TO extend
Gwinnett Lone, Bolton lane, Waldburg
'street and Waldburg lane through Collins
vile the taxing powers of the city cannot
be exercised. The petition says that the
ordinance previously passed amounted to
a contract, that cannot be violated by the
city at the present day.
The case affords good test as to the
city's power and right of taxation II will
doubtless decide The questions that have
been raised as to this issue and settle
them finally and for all time. 1t makes
an interesting case for the discussion OF
the members Of the community interested
in the lessening OF city taxes.
Judge Falligant has granted a restrain
ing order, returnable on May rs, when it
is to be argued. prohibiting the sale of
the property on the f. fas. issued by the
Mayor and Aldermen of the city. The pc
titioner is represented by Mr. John Sui

GUARDS LIKE THE GRAY.
The Corps Virtually Decides to Keep
the Old Inform.

The Corps Virtually Decides to Keep
the Old Uniform.
The May meeting of the Savannah Vol
unteer Guards last night was devoted
very largely to the discussion of the uni
form question. It was virtually decided
that the gray uniform ought and should
be retained.
There was considerable discussion. The
matter was argued pro and con, but no
definite determination was reached. Those
in favor OF the change argued that the
amalgamation of the corps with the First
Regiment of Infantry, Georgia State
troops, should declare strongly for IT.
those opposed to it were just as strongly
convinced that this very amalgama ton
should declare against any change in the
uniform.
Mr.. H. E. Wilson introduced a resolu-
ton, providing that the various firms of
the city, interested in such matters
should be asked to furnish estimates on
gray uniforms, of the kind and chara cter
now worn by the members of the corps,
md that these bids and estimates should
be submitted to the board of officers. The
motion was passed.
Capt. Wright Hunter offered a resolu-
ton providing that the offer of the state
as to a certain number of blue uniforms
DE accepted, and that the corps adopt this
uniform in connection with the gray. 1t
was decided that under the rules this reso-
luton should be posted for month and
then submitted TO the vote of the battalion
If the vote Of last night be taken as an
indication il Is pndouhted that the mo-
ton VIII be lost and the gray uniform re-
main that of the Guars battalion. 1t is
undoubted that the gray appeals more to
the people of Savannah and that the SIM
nj q tar r. mo -
applause than could be produced in any
other manner.

DISTRESSING FIRE AT GARDEN GROVE.
Rushina's Livery Barn Burns with
23Head OF Stock.

Last Friday night about 1890 the PEG.
pie of Garden Grove were aroused by
the ringing of the alarm bell and dis
covered that the large barn in the rear
OF Shaw's Hotel was mass of flames.
When first discovered by Curt Knapp it
was veritable furnace inside and too
late to rescue any of the animals inside
and seventeen horses, one COW and five
pigs were cremated. 1t was the most
distressing fire ever in Garden Grove,
with several hundred people standing
around and unable to do a thing
towards getting the animals out Of the
fiery furnace. Only the dampness and
the lack of wind saved the adjoining
buildings as the fire was very hot and
quick, as it was burning shingles were
carried quarter of a mile. The build.
ing was insured for 5000, about one
half Of its value. Knapp's four horses
for $3.50, and the livery stock for $500
shows the amount of stock insured.
