A TESTCASE BSFORR THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS— AN APPEAL DISALLOWED. Mr. Franklin H. Mackey, of the law firm of Crit- appeared before the Commis- stoners yesterday afternoon and argued a question ; Which is regarded of considerable importance at | least 1,50) lors tn this city in just the the District bufidings. “It is a question,” sald Mr. Mackey toa Star reporter, “which directiy Interests atlesst 2,500 tax-payers of this city.” The question argued related to the special assess- ment agatnst the property of Mra. M. C. Hender- son, fronting 281 feet on M street northwest, be- tween 24th and 25h streets. This property ‘was assessed.according to frontace,for special improve- mts on M street in 18:3, $1,452 92, and in 1876 was again assessad "for ' improvements on 2th "street, $1,085.90, The as- sessments were “subsequently pafd, with the accrued int-rest. Under the act of June 27, 1879, Mra. Hend -rson asked for revision of the as- t, claiming that no special benefit had oc- toher lot by the Improvements,and she cites, as couclusive proof of tuls, the report of the late board of audit allowing het $7,000 as damages for injuries to her property by reason of the said special improvements, “Mr. Mackey, in his angu- ment, said thatthis Is but one of many cases where Une property assessed has been absolutely injured by the improvement upon the adjoining street. Nevertheless, Ubes? lots have been assessed by the seme rule,” and for the same amounts, that other lots have been which have bern Lrgely and specially benefitted by the improvement. ‘The many property owners and tax-payers of the District, who have been thus wronsfuily burthened and embarrassed with the assessments, look to the decision of the Commis- stoners In this case for just relief, He asked tho ‘onsideration of the following propositions :—Ist. That under the thirty-seventh section of the act of Congress approved February 21, 1871, and the second section of the actif the legisjative assem- bly approved August 10, 1871, every assessment for speclal tmprovements made by the board of publi: works against the adjoining prop»rty is er- roncons if the’ property was not specially ben e- fited by said improvement. 21. ‘That by the act of Congress ap row d June 19, 1878, and the act approved June 27, 1879, tt becomes the plain duty of the Commissioners, where written complalut has been made by the persons designated, and within the Ume stated by those acts, that the said -3'S Monts are erroneous, &-., to inquire into the fact whether or not the property In question has been specially benefited by the finprovement, and if found not to have been so benefited, to revise nd correct each erroneous assessment and to Jssue a drawback certificate for the amount theieof to the per-on ent tiled to receive the sai 31. That in all eases where damages have b awarded by the board of audit for Injuries to property by reason of special improvements, stich wird should be accepted by you as conclusive ence that the property has not been spectally benefited by the Improvement, and 1s not, there- fore, suaject vu the assessment.

THE REDUNDANT POTATO CROP—A BIG SUPPLY AND LOW PRICKS—CONCERNING GREEN CORN—UNSEAS- ONABLE WEATHER—OTHER MATTERS, =~ Correspondence of THe EvexIne STaR. Fats Cuurca, Va., AQzust 6, 1883. It did not require the spirit“of prophesy to state last spring what would in all probability be the Price of potatoes when digging time should come, Observation for a course of years in agricultural Operations 1s all that one needs to enable him to foresee that when the farmers for a whole regton unite their money and energies to buy and plant potatoes, with every probability of a potato grow- ing’ coming season, as there was last spring, with the country surrounding that region growing enough to supply 1ts own wants and to send abroad besides, that the price of potatoes In such region would be rutnously cheap. Potatoes have been soid already this season in your city for 75 cents per barrel, and digging has scarcely begun yet. There 4s not now a tthe of the crop dug. If the price of green corn should rule as high through the rest 0: the season as It has thus far, one may predict with as much certainty as if he poss the gift or prophesy, that next season— without any natural interdiction of the growth of it, as there might be in extremely unfavorable wealher—tie price of that market article would be at the very remunerative price of Nive cents per jozen. The Colorado bug has not, I think, proved to be “a Oxture” in any of the ugricultural regions of this country. _ It stays for a few scasons and then disappears. So far’as my observation extends {¢ has ‘done very littleInjury to the potatoes yet; Dut few growers have applied Paris green this, Season.

A Jealous Husband's Deed. HE STARS WIS WIFE, WHO WAS WITH A STRANGER. In New York yesterdiy Charles Wolff, a gusfit- ter, 93 years old, told his wife, Mary, 17 years old, that he was going to Staten Island to work, and would remain there all the week. Last evening he returned and found her absent trom home. Some time later he found her walking tn Central park with 2 man who was a stranger to him, The hus- bind follow d them and saw them go to his home, Where the wile, a'ter looking about, Invited the man to enter the house. Wolf sprang forward and made several lunges with a jack knlie at the man, who turned and fled. Turning on his wife, he stabbed her seven times before her brought a policeman tothe spot. She w to the hospital, where her wounds are be! be fatal. Wolff expressed no regret for , his act. He says he also stabbed the man who ran ‘away. sabato A at Tue Ouro Wid MAN CarrurnD.—A few days ago a wild man was discovered Inthe woods neir Mason, Ohio, Since then a party of men have been in pursutt of htm, and Monday nlgnt he was eiptured by the city inarstal and touged in all He was entirely nu ie.

Frederick, a boy about 15 years od living with a farmer ‘named John ‘Thumma, six miles south of Carlisle, Pa., committed suichte Monday night by shooting him: self through the heart. Tle was sitting by himself on the stoop of an out-house, and fired the fatal shot as his employer passed by on horseback. Mr. Thumma, thinking at first that he was shot at, ly dismounted oni swayed his riding whip to Prevent a repetition of the firing, when he was apprised of the fact of It being Frederick, and of his Injured condition, by, the agon‘zing éxelama- ton, “Oh, my God, John!” Assistance was called, but the young min was beyond all human help and died almost immediately. An Inquest was held and a verdict was rendered that the shooting Was done with sulcidal intent. ——o A New York PHYSICIAN ACCUSED OF PERJURY.— The New York Sun of to-day says: Seabright, N.

It appears that these two girls, with two others, were seated In Mary Homier’s bed-room getting ready to go to a picnic. John Homier, Mary’s father, had placed a pistol, a seven-shooter, under the ‘pillow in the morning, after firing five shots at a target. While not clearly shown how it was done, evidence es- tablishes the fact that Mary Homler, while en- Zayed In making the bed, seiz-d the pistol trom under the pillow, and a report followed. The ball entered the lert temple of Kate Willlams and came Out on the other side of the head by the ear, klll- ing her instantly. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of accidental shooting, but upon additional evidence Mary Homter was held to bail. It 1s ram- ored that a young colored m:n caused jealousy be- tween the two, and that this is the fatal termina- tion of several quarrels.
