Codnty VIII N AXE a Test
Of Tax Case.
OTHER |NJUNCT|ONS
May be Asked by Companies
Whose Tax Values Have Been
Raised by the
Board.

The commissioners auditor and
treasurer will fight the Injunction case
brought by the Canton Malleable Iron
company to prevent the treasurer from
collecting taxes on the basis OF the
recent increase in valuation made by
the county board of equalization. The
contention of the company is that Il.
was not notified that an increase was
contemplated and for that reason the
action of the board was illegal. The
commissioners state that they had in
formation from the attorney general
that 1t was not necessary to notify
the parties interested.
II Is stated by those who are In a
position to know that q number OF
other manufacturing companies will
also commence injunction proceedings
upon the grounds that they did not
have an opportunity to be heard and
that the values fixed are excessive
compared with those of other concerns.
: Prosecutor Day will have charge of
the case, but additional counsel will
bc secured to assist him in the trial.
The Malleable case will be made 4
test, and upon 1t will hinge the
others. Should the company win, II
would open the door to large num-
ber of similar cases.
The board of equalization gave the
greater number of property holders
chance to be heard, but It seems
that in some instances they were not
notified. At least that is the con-
tention.

msn Remained at Their Posts.

Everett, Wash, May 27-Special
from Skykomish. Wash:
A frightful accident occurred on the
line Of the Great Northern railway,
which resulted in the demolition of an
engine, almost half train of loaded
merchandise cars and large steam
shovel. That no one was instantly
killed is regarded as little less than a
miracle.
Westbound freight train No. Is pass
ed through the big tunnel shortly after
noon and was speeding along down the
rugged western slopes of the Cascades
and had reached a point about four
miles east of Skykomish. when sud-
denly loaded push car came into
view
Engineer John McGhourly, who was
in charge of the forward end of No. Is,
made every possible effort to check his
engine, but the momentum was too
great. When within few feet of the
then deserted push car he and his fire.
man were Mortified to see can after can
of giant powder piled high on top of
the car. 1t was too late to even think
of jumping and the two heroically stood
their ground.
A second later and the pilot crashed
into the push car. Explosion after ex-
plosion rapidly followed, each succeed
ing one being more terrific, If possible,
until finally, when the smoke had
cleared, the awfulness of the havoc
created was realized.
The engine was literally torn to frag-
ments, her boiler raised clear of all
other parts, while her great trucks
were hurled up the steep mountain
side for considerable distance. The
steam shovel, which stood on siding
nearby, was torn to splinters and will
be fit for nothing but scrap.
About rs yards from the scene of the
terrible explosion stood the shack of
the track walker. 1t, also, was utterly
demolished, but, strange to say, the
track walker himself. who was in the
shack. was but slightly scratched.
Loads of merchandise of various kinds
are scattered promiscuously in all di-
rections. A hole sufficiently large to
bury a locomotive in was torn in the
roadway.
Engineer McGhourly was severely in
jured about the head and otherwise
bruised up as a result of the concus-
sion. He was put aboard a special
train and taken to a hospital at Ever
EFT. The fireman was also badly
bruised, but not seriously injured. No
one else was hurt.

nificence to Scotland university.
MANY of the oldest and best fam
lilies in Scotland" continues the per-
riodical, "send their sons to Scottish
universities where they pay the fees,

be believed that this will continue if
the fees are paid for them by Mr..

View. Creed.

Philadelphia, May 26.-The Presbyterian
general assembly has taken another step to-
ward revising the confession of faith by re-
jecting the minority report which had been
offered as substitute amendment for the
majority report. The vote was 27l to 234
The recommendation is as follows:
I'VE recommend that committee be in
structed to prepare brief summary of the
reformed faith, bearing the same relation to
the confession which the shorter catechisnl
bears to the larger catechism, and formed
on the general model of the consensus creed
prepared for the general assembly of 1892
or the articles of faith of the Presbyterian
church of England, both of which docu-
ments are appended to the. committees re-
port and submitted to the assembly to be
referred to the committee appointed"
With the consent of the assembly the mo.
ton was changed so that the vote was
taken on the question of striking out the
recommendation from the majority report
stead of accepting the minority report as
a substitute. During the discussion of the
subject Moderator Minton gave the gavel
to Vice Moderator Pitcairn while he ad
dressed the commissioners in favor of the
amendment.
