About the hotel a circle of ra. ined dwellings gave evidence of the cy- clonie nature of the tornado and the re- sistiess force of ita progress.

The Supreme Court Decides that the Act is Constitutional, An important decision was handed down last week by Judge Paxson, of the Supreme Court, which bears upon the congtitutiooality of the new tax law, known as the new revenue act of June 50, of last year. The bill on which the opinion is based was filed by Edward J. Fox, n member of the Northampton county bar, who prayed for an injunction to restrain the assessors from compelling him to comply with the act of 1885. The lawyer claimed that the sect conflicted with portions of the new coustitution, because it exempts building and loan as- goclations, manufacturing corporations and the personal property of corpora tions from taxation, while taxing similar property in possession of individuals exempts * 2} Judge Paxson di ¢ | phrase {ove r,” used in t) tcorporatious, and tl s | mortgages and other mn¢ , lin the hands of corp - {under the new reve ‘leurs in the vie we A 1 3 - { Mitchiell and Thay ithe Common Pleas, that 1{son” does not inc that mortgages and their hands of are not tact le | 311d « 0G 1885 { the provision exempting iig1r constitutional, does not inva 1 that there is no su lin its provisions a netitutional, ¢ for its execntion provision imposir nee with M1 tutional.
