mooted question relating to the remov
al of the county courthouse from its
present situation on Fort Meyer
Heights to Rosslyn. A special election
will be held on September "a at which
the voters will be permitted to give an
expression Of their views.
The proponents for the removal
point out the inaccessibility and gen
eral unsanitary condition of the pres
ent structure, and on the other hard
it is stated that the county will be put
to an expense in the neighborhood of
100000 to erect Jail and courthouse
of credit. 1t is also said that it will
be difficult to obtain a good location
for the building. Opinion is about
equally divided on the matter.

COUNTY TAXES.
Object Lesson for Anti-Annexation.
lists Who Feared Increased
Taxation.

When the question of anneXing GER
tain portions of Fairfax and Alexan-
dria counties to this city was first
sprung most residents of Alexandria
county We're subjects of baseless
scare superinduced by the assertion
that the county would be the loser in
the procedure, as it was supposed a
higher rate of taxation would prevail
in this city than in the county. At
tempts were made at the time to dis
pei this illusion, but anti-annexationists
would listen to rehuttals This fact,
however, has been forced before their
eyes by newspaper published at
Roslyn. The headline is as follows:
Limit reached in taXation-High Rate
of Assessment and the high rate there
on a heavy burden upon the people"
The paper complains bitterly of the
fact that while the assessments are
high the county has to pay a tax
rate of S1.85 on the hundred dollars.
The writer is exceedingly pessimistic
in his forecast of the future of the
county under such conditions.
1t must be remembered that certain
modern improvements-in the way of
sewers, etc.,-which are essential in
the near future are sure to raise the
tax rate in excess of that prevailing
in this city; hence the enemies of an
nexation will be compelled to find some
other issue with which to combat the
city when the case comes before the
Circuit Court.

ACCUSED SET FREE.
John Bell and William Massey Exon
earated by Coroner's Jury.

That William Ferguson came to his
death as the result of injuries infict-
ed by John Bell, who acted in self de-
fense, was the verdict of the coroner's
jury which met at W. Demaine's un-
drtaking establishment this morning.
This verdict exonerated Bell and Will
liam Massey, and they were released.
Several witnesses were examined,
including c. H. Zimmerman, Samuel
Elliott, Henry Robertson, colored, Fac
hariah Rich, colored, and Robert Fer
guson, brother of the dead man, who
was himself badly cut in the affray.
Rich, who was the only eyewitness
of the fight, graphically related The
circumstances relating to it. Bell ard
Massey had come into a barroom on
market Alley, together, and the latter
was under the influence of liquor, so
much so that he lay over the bar and
fell asleep. A few moments later the
Ferguson brothers entered, and after a
few drinks, began to berate Bell, who
attempted to avert trouble. Finally
with an oath towards Bell, William
Ferguson pushed Massey against tie
bar. At this point bartender in
terferred, and Massey and Bell went
out. They were soon followed by the
brothers. The witness stated that Bell
was apparently doing everything in
his power to soothe William Ferguson.
Finally, there was tussle, although
Rich could not see that any weapons
were used, and the two men ran. ID
women were in the alley, during the
fight, he said. Prior to the cutting,
he said that Ferguson had pushed
Massey off the sidewalk.
C. H. Zimmerman, owner of the bar,
testified that he heard Robert Fergu-
son state, Il will kill Massey and take
his shoes off before he falls"
Robert Ferguson, who was brought
from the hospital to testify, appeared
in very weak condition, and was re-
turned to that institution at its conclu-
sion. He denied most of the testimony
of the beforegoing witnesses in ref
erence to his actions while at the bar
He stated that he was not drunk, did
not throw a rock at Bell, and furthe:'
that neither had raZorS in their pcSs-
ession. He denied even owning a ra-
Zor, and stated that he had never seen
either of the instruments in the posses
sion of the coroner.
After deliberating about fifteen min
utes, the jury brought in the verdict,
exonerating Bell. BY its failure to
mention Massey he was not held re-
sponsible for the murder.
The inquest was conducted by DR..
Samuel B. Moore, city coroner, and
the following composed the jury: a.
S. Doniphan, foreman; Charles S. Adj
ans, James 3. Martin, Harry H. New
