 Sinpson Csse.

NOrthport. l.. l.. Jan. 3-Fright has thrown Frank wisniski. a stable boy. into such a drug-like stupor, that he cannot testify today in the prelimin- ary hearing of Dr J. w. Simpson. the dentist, charged with having wilfullv shot and killed Bartley J. Horner. his wealthy father-in-law. The stable boy who was employed by Mir Homer. was in the kitchen when his employer was shot by the dentist.

DECATUR'S CASE
Prosecution Introduced New Wit ne.se: To-day in Court
 Martial Proceedings.

Annapolis, Md, Jan 3.-The prosecu- tion introduced witnesses to-day 10 disproye the statements of those who had testified for the defense in the courtmartial proceedings against Mid shipman Stephen Decatur, jr, of Ports mouth, N. H., charged with hazing Fourthclassmen Isaac N. McCrary of Calvert, Texas, and Gaylord Church of Meadville, Pa. It is practically ce'- tain that the case will be finished and given to the court today, and it is conceded that the decision in the case will rest on very narrow lines. Al though McCrary and Church testified to separate acts of hazing on the part of Decatur there was no additional witness to any act and Decatur has denied them all emphatically. It is generally admitted that the strongest case has been made on the fourth spe- cificatiOn, which statey that Church was hazed by being compelled to do number 16." Although Decatur claims he did not order him to do this,i he admits that he did order him to, re- port to his Decatrirs) room and that someone else gave him this order in his presence. Nlidshipman P. B. Mar zom, witness for the defense, also made this statement Marzoni is un- der charges of hazing.
 It is reasonably certain that the courtmartial of Midshipman Decatur will conclude to-day.
 The court will take up the case of Midshipman Worth Wright Foster of New Albany, Ind, firstclass man, charged with hazing Midshipman Charles s. Roberts of Joliet, III, to- morrow. It is alleged that Foster hazed Roberts by compelling him to get under the table during a meal and also by compelling him to drop from the top of the door frame. The latter form of hazing is particularly dan. gerous one, as the victim strikes the end of his spine against the floor af- ter a fall of three feet.

KENT G0UNTY'S
POOR AND INFIRM.

1t cost Kent county less than dollar
per voter for the support Of the eounty's
poor and infirm. The Levy Court this
week passed resolution paying 50, 600
to the Trustees Of the Poor to pay float
ing Indebtedness incurred at the aims
house several years ago, and the trus-
tees asked for $1,000 as an annual ap.
preparation with which to operate the
institution. The report of Treasurer
William K. Davis, submitted 10 Com.
missioners Powell and Hudson. the
Levy Court auditors. showed an expen
diture of IS $3.50 last year. sum
equivalent to about twenty cents per
capita Of the population of the county.
The big. fertile farm, com posed of
the most responsive and profitable land
in the State of Delaware, upon which |
the county institution is situated, has
proven too much to be managed by the
same uperintendent, who also has on
his shoulders the care of the sick and
infirm poor. For this reason the court
will probably approve the trustees plan
Df selling of ninety of the 400 acres, for
which they have been offered $50 per
acre, without any buildings, but believe
hey can get $50. This sale will operate
o cancel a debt Of $1,000 incurred by
he trustees in 1862. during the war.
By the use of all proceeds of the farm,
has become possible to maintain the ,
Iealthy inmates of the almshouse at a
lonthly expense OF 81 in cash, possi- ;,
ly the lowest per capita Of cost ever :
cached in the matter of the mainten. :,

Two False Alarms Of Fire.

Last Saturday night some one saw
smoke coming from the chimney Of the
store occupied by J. J. Handy and gave
an slarm # fire, which br ught the
firemen to the scene in a few minutes
but there was no need for their services,
as the smoke came from rubbish burn
ing in the stove.
Again on Monday morning a CHM
ney caught lire in Jimtown, and some
one ran all the way down to the fire
station and had an alarm blown, while
others more practical proceeded to
throw some water on the roof, and no
damage was done. A little common
sense is Of some use even in giving

Farm House Burned.

On Sunday night the residence on a
small farm owned by William H. H
Davis, which was located just below
Cedar Creek. was consumed hy fire.
The loss was about $500, and there was
no Insurance. AS no person had resided
there since the first of this year, the fire
was Of incendiary origin. The property
was purchased by Mr. Davis at public
sale, and he had trouble in getting the
colOred people who were the heirs to
sign the deed, but the matter was taken
into court and the title cleared up for
Mr.. Davis. This probably caused the
fire, as there was considerable hard
feelings, but without any cause from
Mr.. Davis.

Want New Method Of Taxation.

Is Mr.. Carroll right or wrong? l thinb
he is right. Why is he right First. un.
der the pre- t system of taxation, to do
justice, all property must be assessed a
like. Is it right to assess $1,000 farm at
500? then assess the horses and cattle
necessary to work the farm, at $500.
making the tenant pay four times as
much on $4OO as the the owner does on
his $4,000 farm? This put heavy tax on
the man who rents the farm; also the
rental value is only put on the improve
ments, on the land; leaving the bare
land untaxed Which am sure, if Hooked
into, would be unconstitutional; also, is
it not true that good schools and churches
reflect their value in the bare land, and
not on the improvements and stock.
That method is taxing labor to benefit
the man who owns the bare land, or
sourse Of labor. To make it more plain,
does not good roads and good buildings,
reflect their value in the land; also does
not the paved streets, the electric lights.
and water works reflect there value in.
the same way. Let us hear from some
one on the school tax, as it needs intel
ectual airing. A. W. Robinson.
