The famous railroad tax })ill, which requires railroads to pay the.u' ta.txes by counties, was declared cons‘.lt.utfona.l by the Supreme Court of Georgia in a de cision rendered Thursday. This decision of the Supreme Court means that the railroads in Georgia must pay a county tax to every county through which they pass. The tax is assessed upon the value of property in every county. The taxable property isabout $50,000,- 000. The taxes which it will bring to the counties will be nearly $400,000. This case was a test case made by the Columbus Southern Railroad, wlich went before Judge Marshall J. Clark, of Atlanta, with a bill to enjoin the comp troller from colleciing the tax on the gsround that the Glenn railroad tax bill was unconstitutional, Judge Clark re fused to allow the injunction. The case went to the Supreme Court. 1t was first argued last fall by Hon. W. A, Wimbish for the railroad, and Hon. Ww. (. Glenn and Attorney-General An derson for the State. Some difficulties arose and the case was reargued last January, when briefs were filed by every jailroad lawyer in the State. The Supreme Court sustained Judge (lark and upheld every point made by the attorneys representing the State. The Atlanta Journal says that the case may now go to the United States Supreme Court.

From the Atlanta Herald. Maggie Alverson, the little two-year old girl who was so horribly scalded Tuesday, April 5, and an account of which appeared exclusively in the Her ald died at eleven o'clock last night, The Herald of yesterday told the story of the little girl’'s burning. At 2:30 yesterday afternoon she was resting comparatively easy, and there were some hopes of her recovery. The anxious mother watched by the bedside of the little sufferer and prayed that she might be saved to them, when the father returned from his work yes terday at 6 o'clock he was cheered by the doctors assurance that his daughter might recover, But at 7 o’clock the child's condition changed for the worse. FOUR HOURS OF TERRIBLE SPASM, Just after 7 o’clock the child began trembling as though in a chill. Gradually her movements became more frantic and in the frenzy of her pain she struggled and foamed at the mouth. For hours this awful convulsion lasted and the agonized parents prayed that their little one might then die and be saved such terrible suffering, if death must come at all. A few minutes before 11 o’clock the spasm ceased, and little Maggie lay quiet, moaning in pain, Afew moments later she died. Upon her lips there was a peacefnl smile after death, and no traces of the spasm were left to mar the beauty of her baby face. SWALLOWED BOILING WATER. When Dr. Bennett was called in he thougt at first that the child might possibly recover,but later on he discov ered that she had swallowed some of the scalding water. Her throat was gradually becoming more and more inflamed until it was only with the greatest pain that she could breathe. Ifer left arm had been shrivel ed Dby the heat of the water and her left hand was drawn up so that it would Liave been forever useless had she lived. How the child lived as long as she did is something wonderful.

The meeting of the Southeastern Tar iff Association last month in Washing ton was an important one. The most important - feature of that meeting has Just been brought out in a circular being issued by the association to agents within its jurisdiction, The circular is regarding “he action of the association in declaring the exigen cies of the business demands a more ade quate and satisfuctory system of rating with reforms in the matter of co-insur ance which, they say, has heretofore been neglected in the South. THE RESOLUTIONS. The circular asks the agents’ co-opera tion in putting the follow resolutions into effect. The resolutions read: Resolved, That the exectuive com mittee be instructed to revise these rates strictly in accordance with the tariff in second, third and fouarth-class towns as rapidly as possible and promulgate same to members, making such improvements in the schedules of these towns for rating as may be deemed by them to be proper. Resolved, That the practice of except ed cities be abolished and the rates in all such places be revised in accordance with the rules of the association under the direction of the executive committee, at as early adate as possible, and that all former action of the association incon sistent herewith be, and the same is here by, repealed. Resolved, That as our tariff is based upon an insurance as to values of 75 per cent., therefore an extra charge of 25 cents per 100 may be added to the rate, unless the 75 per cent. co-insurance clause is inserted in policies covering mercantile risk: Provided, this shall not only apply to towns coming under the op eration of the three-fourths value clause. - ——————— When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, When she became Miss, she clung o Castoria, When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, STILL IN THE RACE. Hill Resents the Intimation shat He Is Not a Candidate. A Washington special says: Senator Hill, like General Alger, still thinks he is likely to be nominated this year for the presidency. He resents the friendly intimation to the contrary, which he had from his quondam friends, Gorman and Brice, and repudiates the delegation of other friends to the effect that he recognizes the fact that he is out of the race. He says that no one was authorized to declare his intentions at any time, and that certainly when he declined the presidential nomination he would do it in propria perfona. For the present, at least, he sees no reason for declining It. As a matter of fact he knows it is now or never with him, inasmuch as he has reached and passed his highest point of prestige and influence, He will, there fore, fight desperately to the last possi ble moment. As yet he has no second choice. To nominate himself or to prevent the nom ination of Cleveland is his entire pur pose. A sacond choice would be diffi cult for him, for he does not like either Gorman, Brice or Whitney since they de clared for Cleveland. Boies, Palmer and Campbell he knows to be for Cleve land, and Morrison he. knows to be against him if not for Cleveland. No one but Flower seems to be left to him.
