Residents at Mount Pleasant Think the Rate Too High and Ask Relief, For some time past the taxes fixed on prop- erty in Mount Pleasant, where there have been no city improvements, such as water, sewerage, &c., have been at the same rate ag the taxes within the city limits, namely, $1.50 on the hun- dred. Recently Mr, C,H, Armes of the committee representing the property owners wrote to the District Commissioners calling their attention to the matter and asking a reduction. He says that the recen$ increase of assessments, from 100 to more than 1,000 fold over the previous assessments is mee as 6 further reason for a reduction of the tax. This reason, however, he bes 43 oe, equally to all parts of the District where there has been a large increase in the aa- sesaments, and, he adds, it a be ieorene to mention in connection with the subject of a general reduction throughtout the District that in other cities, notably in New York,where assessments have been increased the taxes have been reduced, HOW IT USED TO BE. In conclusion he says the act of Congress of February 21, 1871, to provide a governments for the District of Columbia gave to the legislative assembly power to __ legislate upon “all rightful subjects within said District,” and enacted that each legislative assemb! should Poke ad for all the appropriations nec- essary for the expense of the District; and in the acts of the legislative assembly ao cre- ated a tax of $1.70 on the hundred for Washington, 95 cents for Georgetown and 85 cents for like property without the limits of the city was levied. It will be seen, he continues, that the discrimination now asked we tmaade when the pecnle were represented ina legislative assembly, and it is submitted that such discrimination is reasonable, right and necessary to justice, HE SAYS THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE THE POWER to make this discrimination, or to reduce the taxes throughout the District. No rate, he says, has been fixed for this year, and no rate has for many years been fixed by authority other than by the Commissioners. He uencaty requests that they will make a reduction of the general taxes and make lower rate on property without and within the city limits, The matter will be looked into by the Com- missioners, = A BRUTAL MURDER. The Two Mutilated Bodies Found in a Louisiana Cabin. New Onxeans, La., Sept. 11.—A special from Lafayette, Le., says: A brutal murder was committed six miles from this place on the Abbeville road Monday night. Near the roadside stood a cabin and in this the mutilated bodies of Rosemond Carmier, col- ored, and his daughter, Rosalie, a; fifteen. The following particulars were elicited at the coroner's inquest: Rosemond, who was over sixty years of 5 was whipped and ordered to leave some mon! ago by a band of regulators and, failing to obey, met an untimely end Monday night, It appeared that about 10 o’clock a party of masked men rode up to his house and de- manded admittance, and on being refused broke down the door. The old man fired both bar- relg of & proteus into the crow Filing a white man nami John Judice. Rosemond then fled, pursued by the now enraged party, who fired repeatedly at the fugitive. They overtook him about two bundred yards from his house and blew the entire back part of his head off and then crushed in the frontal bone by blows with their guns, The body of Rosalie lay stretched in front of the cabin this morning with her throat cut from gar toear, The little cabin was riddled with bullets, . ——>——_ SIGNS OF A HARD WINTER.

A statement prepared at the pension bureau shows that on June 30, 1889, there were 489,725 pensioners on the rolls, In July and August there were advanced to pension agente on Tequisitions $34,700,000, while the amounts dis- bursed by the agents in the same months was 11,486,205. The amount advanced to pension agents during July and August, 1863, was 24,800,000 and the amount disbursed by agents during those months €4,840,577. The amount advanced during July and August, 1889, was $34,700,000 and the amount disbursed during July and August past was $11,486,205. ‘More than half of the disbursements during July and August, 1889, were in payment of cases allowed during the past fiscal year, ending June 30, 1889, and were not paid on account of a de- ficiency in the appropriation for that year, making it therefore necessary to pay th claims out of the money appropriated for current fiscal year.
