REV. DR. ". ". LORD DEAD.
CHAPLAIN IN CONFEDERATE ARMY AND FRIEND OF DAVIS.
Wordsworth Admired His POetry-Ac- tive in Baltimore Cholera Epidemic Was One of the Lord Family of Lyme, This State.

1ulb SEate,
 The Rev. Dr. William Wilberforce Lord died on Monday at the Clenden- ing, in West One Hundred and Third street, New York city. He was born in Madison county, New York, in 1S19; at tended the Western New York univer- sity, and was graduated from the Princeton Theological seminary in 1S45, having been appointed to the first fel- lowship of that institution While he was Boudinot fellow the degree of doc tor of divinity was conferred upon him by the University of Alabama,
 After acting as a tutor at Amherst for short time he was ordained a dea- con in the Episcopal church and in 1850 l became a priest. His active labors dur l ing the great Baltimore cholera epi- demic, in addition to similar service in seven yellow fever outbreaks in vario- ous parts of the south, won general rec ognition ana praise.
 For a time Dr. Lord was in Charles ton, s. C., and was appointed a chap 1 lain in the Confederate army at the outbreak of the civil war. He was in Vicksburg during the entire siege, act ing as rector of Christ church in that city He was an intimate friend of Jefferson Davis. At the close of the war he became rector of St. Paul's church in Charleston, afterward foun- ding the Church of the Holy Trinity in l Vicksburg.
 Dr. Lord was prominent in education- al work in the south, being one of those who, in the hopeful days before the civil war, selected the site for the 1 University of the South at Sewanee. In later years Dr. Lord came to the north and became rector of Christ church at l Cooperstown, N Y., where he contin- ued until physical disability made 1t necessary for him to cease active la bors. He was offered the position of rector emeritus, but declined 1t. He made his home at Cooperstown almost continually after his resignation, but he had been accustomed to spend a part of each winter in New York. He was one of the Lords of Lyme. Conn, the first of whom was one of the four primary patentees of that state.
 Dr. Lord attracted considerable at- tention as poet when twenty-slS years old, Poe ridiculed his work, but Wordsworth praised it, expressing re- gret in letter that the young man ] should enter the ministry and abandon l literature. Among his works are two epic poems, Christ in Hades" and Andre, a Tragedy published in 1851 and 1856.

 BUT THE MINE TAX BILL

show the direction which the delibera- ton took and preserved throughout the day. The governor further said that there was no need of a bullion tax law. The present law was all right if it were properly administered by the county assessors and the local boards
 To this point there had been no dis cussion Of the main object of the bill to increase the assessed valuations of the mines or to distribute the burden more equitably among the mine own CTS of the various classes.
 The governor was followed by NIT. Ellinwood. He alluded to the fact that there had been a demand for years for a bullion tax law. Property owners of all classes had demanded it and now for the first time the mine own CTS had expressed a willingness to ac- cept such a law for the purpose of establishing an equality among them selves and at the same time to assume larger share of the general burden The present law was not equitable as he illustrated by the assessments of the Copper Queen and the Calumet and Arizona The latter which produced last year S5.000000 million pounds of copper had been assessed for S2O0. 000 while the latter with a production of i10O0,000 pounds had been assessed at only SSl. .O00.
 Mining property he said could not be handled by the tax Satherers as other property is handled. It is created in a different manner and it passes out of existence in a different manner. Millions must be spent on a big mine before it becomes a producer and the drill at any moment may show it has been "bottOmed." Replying to the gov ernor's allusion to the guano islands. MT. EllinwOod said that the simile was not correct one. unless it could be shown that the gUano merchants left twenty dollar pieces on the rocks Fh hich they had stripped bare. The mine owners had not only assisted in the development of the territory in a material way but he was prepared to say that Phelps, Dodge & Co. had put as many millions into Arizona as they had taken out of. Illustrating the lransitory nature of mining property he said that several Of the mines Of

THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

Notwithstanding the occupation of the legislature with mine taxing mat tcrs each house found time to trans act some business in a short session in the afternoon. Several more bills
 were introduced and a few bills were passed. In the house MT. Pace intro duced bill No. loo for the organization and control of mutual fire insurance companies. MT. Hampton introduced
 bill No. l0l amending the law with reference to the adoption of orphans. providing for the adoption of children without parents or guardians with the consent only of those who may be in tended to meet a condition in the cases of the so-called Clifton orphans who have been left in the hands of their foster parents by the decision of the United States supreme court but under the laws of this territory there can be no legal adoption of them.
 Mir. Williams introduced house bill No. log for the remuneration of attorneys appointed to defend per sons charged with crimes and without means to employ attorneys IL has been the practice of the court to ap- point lawyers for their defense but there has been no provision for the payment of these attorneys. This bill authorizes the expenditure of S60O a year by counties of the first and sec ond class and $500 by counties of the other classes. The largest fee that may be paid is S10O
 Several matters of greater or less importance were taken from the speakers desk ready for final action. but on account of the pressure of oth- CT business they went over until next week. One of these was the bill rais- ing the salary of the public examiner The bill originally provided for a sal ary of $500 a year but the committee cut that down to s3O0O on the theory that having provided an assistant at :le00 year and increased the contin- gent fund to S14OO. that was as much the committee thought, as the territory could stand at one time.
 Another bill passed was one making an equitable division of the tax mon- ~ received from the Santa Fe Pa
