CARS IN SMASHUP
Sixteen Freight Carriers Jump cd inc Track This Morning.

Conductor Brazil's freight had mishap at Long Meadow brook, Nau- gatuck, at 5:30 o'clock this morn- ing, which resulted in big block on the road and considerable damage, although, fortunately, no one was hurt. Sixteen cars jumped the track and were dragged nearly 200 feet, some of them being twisted in vari- ous shapes and their contents upset and thrown here and there. The early passenger train down had to transfer its passengers, but while all this was going on a temporary track was being constructed around the wreck and in a short time things were in shape so that travel on the road was unobstructed. The wreck CT came up from New Haven and im- mediately set to work and kept at it. until the debris was cleared away. Owing to the fact that many are idle, large crowds collected about the scene of the wreck, most parties being attracted there by a rumor to the effect that several were injured, but this was not SO.

FAIR PLAY TO BANKS.
Perrysburg, Ohio, Jan. IL, 'O7.

The laws of Ohio permit Township
Trustees, Village Councils, and
Boards of Education to take the mon
ey under their care out of the hands
of the duly elected Treasurers, and
place such funds in banks, requiring
from the banks so appointed surety
bonds for the safe-keeping of the
money, and also requiring the pay
ment of interest thereon at the rate of
two per cent. or more.
The laws of Ohio, and the Trustees,
Council or School Board that takes
advantage thereof, commit an injus-
tice, a legal injustice, and enforce an
oppression, also strictly legal, upon
the banks of their communities. Fair
minded readers cannot but admit
this to be true, and for the following
undisputed reason; Overlooking en-
tirely the fact that the local banks
perform many efficient services for
the Village in cashing the orders, pay
ing the principal and interest-coupons
of bonds in New York City as they
mature, and carrying past due bonds
at low rates of interest, the one fea-
ture of taxes levied upon banks in
the State of Ohio is unjust and dis
eliminating. The railroads that pass
through our town are taxed at a val
uation ST less than thirty per cent. of
their real value. The merchant doing
business here makes his own return to
the assessor of his stock of goods,
and that return from our observation
certainly does not exceed thirty per
cent. of the real value of his goods.
The farmer or residence owner here is
assessed upon what is supposed un-
der the law to be forty per cent. of
the value of his land and the i'm
provements, thereon, while it is no.
torious fact that but very little of the
personal property of the people, mo-
ney, notes, jewelry, bonds etc., are re-
turned.
But what is the unfortunate case of
the banks in your communities9 They
are compelled to return a complete
statement of their affairs and are tax
ed not upon thirty or forty per cent.
basis, but upon valuation of sixty
per cent. of their full Capital or Sur
plus, or in other words, sixty per cent.
of their net worth.
The merchants with stock of dry
goods, groceries, liquors, hardware,
boots and shoes, or meats, or the
manufacturer with machinery and
goods in process of manufacture,
worth oyer and above debts, say Ten
thousand dollars ($l0,000.00) returns
his stock of goods or merchandise at
his own valuation, say Twenty five
hundred to Three thousand dollars,

and the assessor, through lack of ex-
pert knowledge, must accept that re-
turn as correct and sufficient. Your

thereof, or Thirty six thousand dol
lars ($36,0OO).
To lovers of fair play this unavoid-
able condition must appeal as unjust
and oppressive. No other line of
business in the State of Ohio other
than her banks is subjected to such
an injustice. And as result your
banks in Perrysburg are paying
twice as dearly for their privilege of
doing business as any other business
house or resldence-owner in the vii
lage, as sixty per cent. is twice thirty
per cent. Bearing, then, an extreme
ly heayier burden OF your local taxes,
we appeal to your sense of justice on
the following proposition:
Are not your banks entitled and
welcome to the few dollars they
make on your public funds, in con-
sideration of the fact that they han
die the accounts in good shape and
bear greater proportion of your
taxes than any other business interest
in town? Respectively,

spite of the extremely easy conditions of
the money market the public continued
to hold aloof from almost all departments.
but dealers and brokers enthusiastically kept
up quotations in the hope Of broadening
business after the holiday season. Rus
sian bonds rose moderately on the signing
OF the Anglo-Russian agreement. Other
wise the foreign section was Hfeless.
Copper shares fuctuated slightly at
first dropped on the cut in prices Of the
metal in New York, and then hardened on
the hopes that the lower prices would re-
suit in an increased demand on the part Of
customers. finally closing little changed
for the week. Americans failed to liven
the existing dullness.
Operators here did little beyond mark
ing quotations to the New York level, ow-
ing to the absence of a decided lead from
that quarter. Union Pacific was the only
really active stock, and at the close was
four points higher. the others averaging
a gain or about one point for the week.
The money market continued extremely
easy. Supplies were obtainable at about 2
per cent. This weakened discounts con-
siderably and created fear of further COM

the fact that Germany required gold and
the knowledge that the Egyptian and

that Secretary Cortelyou would release

HINDUS AROUSED.
Judgment of Higher Court at Cal
cutta Causes Ill-Feeling.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
CALCUTTA. September THE high court
here recently delivered a sensational tudg-
ment upon the appeal In the Comilla shoot
ing case. in which a Hindu was sentenced
to death by the seasonal Judge for the muir
der Of Mohammedan during the riots of
March last. The high court criticised Sc
verely the decision OF the Judge in the lower
court. and commented upon the untrust-
worthiness of the evidence adduced by the
police authorities. The bench asserted that
the district judge had apparently divided
the evidence into two classes. accepting
that given by Mussulmans and rejecting
that rendered by HfnduS.
1t went further and declared that the fail
ure of the commissioner of<he division and
the district magistrate to put in an appear
ance was an extraordinary feature of the
case. and that the police superintendent
whose evidence was very material had been
purposely transferred to another district to
prevent his being called in evidence.
This Is the third case in which the high
court has either auaShed a sentence Of i'm
prisonment or committed death penalty
Indian resentment has thus been reused
against the judgments of the British civil
ians. who have Jurisdiction over such cases
The result OF the Comilla appeal, however.
increases the bitter suspicious entertained
by the Hindus that the government Of the
new province Is unfairly favorable to Mo-
hammedanS.
