More Disaster.
Micks gives the following account of the weather from to-ilay on until .Tune: "A series of heavv storms, roourring in ovclos of 21 hours snv each afternoon nnil evening—will most likely result for several days about the l'.Hh. The wind falling obstinately back to the south after the passage of storm paroxysms, will be good evidence that the storm will repeal itself about or a little in advance of the same hour on the succeeding day. A cold, steady wind from west and north will indicate the cessation of storms. Heavy frosts will be heard from to the northward between the 1 ftih and the 21st. On and about the 22d look for a return of very warm days, with reactionary storms greatly intensified bv the Venus equinox. Keep your eye on the indications. Cool wind holding strongly from the west, will be proof that the storm center has passed east of yon.
Mrs. Oonnue Moore-Lawson. The musical festival at Cincinnati next week will murk the third of the series in
WIKMII
this gifted soprano and
altogether charming artiste and soprano lias partic'pated. Since her festival debut sho has sung in all of the principal cities of the country, winning in every instance a rich guerdon of praise for sincerity in her art and a pure style of vocalization. But the most noteworthy circumstance of her career is to be recorded of her elVorts abroad luring the past year. In (ieniiany, in critical ller'uii mid classic Leipxic, with its rich store of traditions, her work was universally accepted as bearing the stamp of genuineness. England, likowite, heard.ami applauded, lu London she wing at the llichte* concerts uuder the direction of the master himself, giving the Venus music from '•Tannhaufier," a distinctive character that won for her warm words ot commendation from the greatest leader of modern limes. To say anything by way of introduction to a festival auditory is almost superfluous. Her musical studies were pursued in Cincinnati under the guidance of Mr. B. W. Foley, of the
College of Music, and she may be fairly claimed as flower of the C^ueen City.
A Hot Game of Ball.
It was 3(J to 3. Wabash has not sustained such a blighting disaster since the famous piratical whiskers of brother Abbott faded away before the jxjlished razor of an unscrupulous nnd ghoulish barber, leaving the melancholy wind of the great north-west to blow whoro it listeth. The Wabash team arrived at Groencastle to find that a heavy riin had fallen. The management of the team had supplied the boys with light tennis shoes, devoid of pikes, so very naturally when the game began on the slippery clay grounds the Wabash players made monkeys of themselves, slipping and sliding about in a ridiculous manner. The infield made enough errors to reverse tho game and the out field did as badly with the exception of Jliggins and even ho dropped a lly as though it were red hot and weighed three tons. It was simply awful and in the very first inning Del'auw made four runs on errors. They kept up with their lick, too, and piled up runs almost as fast as Wabash piled up errors, although that is putting it pretty strong.
Tor WabaBh tho new men did mo6t of the hitting and all took part in the rank playing. The game was fairly umpired and fortunately no one -was mobbed Tho event was too much of a walk awav for oven revolvers to bo drawn by tho recherche audience. The following is the score furnished by Dol'auw to the Indianapolis papers: Wabash.... 1 0 100001 0— Del'auw. ..1 2 0 3 2110 *—10
Batteries--Walmsh,Martin and Green Del'auw, Tompkins and ^IcMullen Hits—Wabash, 3 Del'auw, 0. Errors —Del'auw, 8 Wabash, 15. Struck out —by McMullen, 11 by Green, 5. Stolen bases—Wabash, 3 Del'auw, 11.

NEW ftlOHMOND GRAVEL K0AD.
According to S. B. Hoofgen tho Assess men is Are Budly Mixed, I'D the Killtor tho Journal.
Mary 1J. Brown owned the oast half of the south-^ast quarter of section 11, township 10, range f, SO acres, that was assessed at 40 cents per acre ou the first assessment for building the Now Richmond gravel road, 'which was $32, but by a clerical error it was copied into the tax duplicate at SI.40 per acre, or SI 10.00. Upon this erroneous assessment 30 per cent, was paid, amounting to S33.U0, before tho error was discovered. It was thou taken off the tax duplicate, but for some unknown reason it was again entered ou the duplicate for taxation two years aftor at the rate of 40 cents per acre, and $9,110 more collected and again discontinued. Tho last payment of S9.G0 was paid without being aware that it was paid on the 80 acres, that had already been fully paid out and the discovery would have not been made if second assessment to finish the road had not been made.
The fund raised on the first, assessment was looted to such an extent that a second assessment was necessary. The commissioners apjxunted to mako a reassessment were directed to assess the lands along the line of the road subject to assessment 50 per cent, on the first assessment, but instead of assessing the above described 80 acres SIC, which would be 50 per cent, on tho original of S32.00, they followed tho error of 112.00 and assessed it S5l. When I went before the commissioners and asked a coirection of the error thev were gracious enough to change tho assessment from $56 to SIC, but it seems they refused to allow what was over paid ou the first assessment as a payment of the second assessment. I wiis misled on this point from a note I received from Commissioner Bowers to whom I explained the matter in a letter, to which he replied that I should have no more trouble about the matter. lie probably had in mind thai the assessment should bo reduced from $56 to S1G and that tho county vr.vi under no legal or moral obligation to account for the money collected on the first assessment in excess of 832 which was tho full amount of it. Ot the second assessment the court directed that only 70 per cent, should be collected. Taking 70 per cent, of S1G makes the second assessment on tho SO acres SI 1.20 and the first assessment of $32 makes tho amount of both assessments S43.20.
We have tax receipts for 1880 on this land in payment of 10 per cent, on the erroneous assessment of SI 12 amounting to $11.21.) and for 1881 to the amount of $22.40, and for the year 18S4 for $9.GO wlion it reappeared on the duplicate for $32.
The p'lyments, made on this tax in 1881, 1882, and 1885 amount to the sum of $43.20 which is just the amount due on both assessments.
What law or reason tho commissioners had for refusing to accept those receipts in payment of $43.20 tax on this land I don't know.
If I should go to Mr. Price and show him by his books that ho had charged me wiih S5G that should bo only $16 ho would make tho correction promptly, and if I should show him further from his books that in a former transaction had overpaid him S1G, and ask him to enter that to my credit he would correot this error just as promptly by giving me a receipt in full. Those who know Mr. Price's character for integrity and honesty would look for just such condncl in his private business. The other commissioners who acted with him in this matter stand as high I suppose in their private business matters as Mr. Price does. Yet as a court they refused to accept this$43.20 in full ot both assessments. If they did refuse because the payment made in 1885 was made when no tax was due, they were taking advantago of their own wrong bv the act or acts of their agents, the Treasurer md Auditor.
Tho recoipts show that the $13 20 was paid as a gravel road tax on tho 80 acres, and the nsBesBinents show that $43.20 is all that is due on the land for that gravel road tax.
It does not follow because the commissioners as a court refused to order tho money paid in 1885 to be applied to tho second assessment that tho appellate court will also hold that it is not a good payment. But as thoy had the monov when a valid tax was assessed common honesty requires that :t should bo applied to tho purpose for which is was paid.
Solon H. Brown owned an 80 acre tract lying along the lino of tho road in section 1, township 19, rango 5, which was assessed at S2 per acre on tho first asseesment or SI.GO. Tho second assessment is S9G which is GO per cent, on tho first assessment.
Tho first assossmont of tho land on the
opposite Bide of tho road belonging to tho Messrs. Slarks was $347.90. The second assossmont $132.92, or 38 por cent, on the first assessment.
Win. L. Loo was taxed on 158 acres at $1.75 por acre, amounting to$27G.50 on tho first assessment. On tho Bocond nsBossmejit 8132.72, which is 48 per cent, on tho first assessment. Was the assessment or GO por cont. on tUo ono side of tho road and only 38 jor cent, an error? If the commissioners reached thoir conclusion, after a careful consideration of what tho assossmpnt should be and conclude that it should lo GO por cont. on tho ono sido of tho road and only 38 por cont. on tho othor, it would hardly Btrike tho avorage mind as a just assossmont. But they did far worse in thoir assessment on tho othor two tracts in Solon H. Brown's namo on tho 80 acre tract in section 12, township 19, range 5. The first assessment was $80, tho second assessment was $76.80, which is 96 per cent, on tho first assessment. On tho opjxwite sido of the road from Mrs. Brown Mrs. Wray was assessed $G0 on tho first assessment or
SI an acre. The second assessment ou this GO acres is §17.28, which is a little less than 28 por cent. But the most outrageous assessment of nil is tho second assessment on the 40 acre tract in Solon H. Brown's name in section 12, township 19, range 5. The first assessment on this tract was $24, the second assessment is $88.40, whioli is 160 per cent on the first assessment. Tho other 40 acres of the same 80 aore tract was assessed at the first assessment at $24, and on the second assessment at $11.52, which is 48 per cent, on the first assessment. The 80 aore tract directly opposite assessed in the nauie ot G. W Zook was assessed at $48 on the first assessment and $23.04 on the second usseBsmont, which iB 48 per cent, on the first assessment. So that the 120 acros lying in line with Mrs. Brown's 40 pays $3.84 cents less than Mrs. Brown pays on her 40 acres, although the original assessment on these three tracts was tho same, GO cents per acre. Now if Mrs. Brown waB assessed as high as the highest about her, whioh on the average is less thun 48 por cent on the original asiessment, but suppoee she had been assessed 48 per cent, on the original assessment—and there is no reason why she should huvo been assessed for more —of $2.64, it would be S12G.72. From this the court deducted 30 per cent, and her second assessment on the three tracts would be paid with $88.71. But instead of assessing her for the second assessment at $126.72,
Bhe
is assessed at
$211.20, at leust $84.48 more than she should have been assessed. She paid the first installment of 35 per cent, of this second assessment on the 25th of October, 1888, amounting $73.92. As this first installment was payable in two payments, one in the Spring and the other in the Fall, and both were paid in the Fall, why was not the penalty collected? Is it discretionary with the Treasurer to add the penalty or not at his pleasure. The fall installment of the second 35 per cent, was paid on Nov. 4, 1889,—$37.96. Hero again no penalty was attnehed. Was the Spring installment paid? Or, if not paid and the Treasurer gave Mrs. Brown a receipt for the Fall payment without demanding payment for the Spring installment is not the county estopped from selling the land for tho non-payment of the Spring installment ot taxes? I believe it is a principle ot tho common law that a receipt for road paid is an estoppel to the collection of prior unpaid rent, and tho same result would bo applicable in paying taxes. The statute may, however, set aside the common law on this point. I hope tho Commissioners will see their way clear to do what is right and just in both those cases. S. B. HOEFHEK.
