Jackson, Miss, Jan. 7.--Thc
decision of the United States Su-
preme Court to day In the case of
the State of Mississippi against
the Yazoa & Mississippi Valley
branch of the Illinois Central rail-
way involved about $662, 900,
which is claimed for taxes from
1888 to 1892. OF this sum the
State and the various counties
and towns through which the road
runs will receive so per cent, and
the revenue agent and his attor-
torneys 30 per cent. Other SINH
lar suits are pending, which make
the total involved about 800, 900.
The charters granted to the va
rions branches OF the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley road carries ex-
emption of taxation for a period
of twenty-five years. When the
road was consolidated with the
Illinois Central, State Revenue
Agent Adams raised the issue that
the exemption was adrogated by
the consolidation, which was the
point Of issue in the case Just dc
