Gross Receipts Tax Case. The case of the State of Maryland against the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in the Superior Court for the tax of one-half of one per cent, on the gross receipts of the company occupied the court all of yesterday. There are two suits, one for the year 1S74 and the other for 1875. The amounts sued for are $19,837. tax on $3,967,421 55 gross receipts in 1874, and $17,999 72, tax on $3,599,994 gross receipts in 1875 of the portion of the road I.

i 1 A 1 II 1.. .1 Western Maryland railroad from Reisterstown to Baltimore, seventeen miles. This liberal contract and the paying business now done on the Hanover and Gettysburg road aud its branches have been great inducements to subscribers. This new line will be tbe completion at this end of a route to extend from Reisterstown to Harrisburg, which the Hanover and Gettysburg Railroad Company is projecting. Chief Engineer Captain Taylor and staff are now prospecting for a route from East Berlin to Harrisburg, which will complete the This route will not be many miles shorter than the Northern Central railroad, but inducements will be offered that will secure to Baltimore at least a very large portion of that trade now diverted from this city to Philadelphia by the Cumberland Valley, railroad.

It is stated that a cent a hundred more is charged from Harrisburg to Baltimore than from Harrisburg to Philadelphia, a great deal longer distance, though officials of tbe road say such is not the case. With the construction of this line in view the Heading Railroad Company have entered into an arrangement for the sbipment of freights, coal, oil, grain and Western products to Baltimore. Arrangements with the Pennsylvania railroad prevents tne Reading company from making any shipments over their road further west than the Susquehanna. The Reading company have long desired an outlet by rail to the seaboard, the South and Southwest. The plans of a new bridge over the Susquehanna are now being drawn, contemplated to be constructed at some point below Harrisburg, possibly at Bald-Win's steel works.

The Reading road will connect over this bridge with the proposed line to Baltimore. The Harrisburg and Potomac railroad is interested in the construction of this bridge, being a competing line with the Cumberland Valley road. The Reading road have- of late months been making large shipments of Western produce over the Erie road. The Berlin division of the Hanover and Gettysburg railroad, recently completed, is now in full operation. The Hanover and Gettysburg road controls 54 miles of railroad rnnning out from Hanover, In all directions into the surrounding fertile country, as follows: Gettysburg branch 18 miles, East Berlin branch 9 miles, Hanover branch 12 miles, and Bachman Valley branch 14 miles.

They connect with the Northern Central road at Hanover Junction, but no inducement is offered, it is said, to shippers to Baltimore. The Pennsylvania railroad a year ago leased the railroad from York to Hanover, which completes the Frederick division of the Pennsylvania railroad, running from Frederick. to York and Colnmbia, Pa. The trade along this line is now carried to Philadelphia. It is very probable that the Western Marylan railroad will begin the construction of the Cumberland Valley branch this winter.

The project has not been pushed for several months on account of the unsettled condition of the country. Mr. C. W. Slagle, who is largely interested in the Baltimore and Hanover enterprise, stated yesterday that the people alonz the lines of the proposed roads are clamorous for their immediate construction.

He says tbe policy, energy and enterprise of President Hood have met with eminent success. A rumor that an effort is to be made to dis- fiose of the city's interest in the Western Mary-and railroad, nearly four millions of dollars, to a competing 'line, so as to put a stop to the new enterprises, is said to be without the slightest foundation, and that no council could be found to so operate against the interest and commerce of the city.

September 17, 1S77. TikdofOie Treasury Fraud Case The District 3-65 Bond. t-c. The indictments against F. A.

Sawver, ex-aa-lstant treasurer of tbe United States; vv m. Haines, late a treasury clerk; Wm. H. Barstow, also late a clerk, and P. D.

Koddy and Frank W. Brooks, for conspiracy to defraud the Umted States rovernment out of some 457,500, were called in the Criminal Court this mornmsr. All the defendants were in court except Mr. Koddy, who is understood to be in Kussia. Every seat in the court-room was occupied, but it was not otherwise crowded.

The case owes its orijjia to some transactions which took place about the close of the late war, at Memphis, between the government of the United States and Parkman, Brooks a firm doing then a large business by the asd of permits to trade in Confederate cotton, The firm had claims against the government, but the amount due by them to the gov-ernmeLt was largely in excess of such claims, and a compromise was effrcted'in 1S05 by which they gave their notes to the United States and thus settled all the business. Some years afterwards a number of the claims thus settled were brought up by Roddy and Brooks to the treasury and passed through, the sum of some $57,500 being iu this way abstracted from the treasury of it United States. It is claimed that several clerks, knowing the claim to be a fraud, assisted in getting it through, and tnat Assistant Treasurer Sawyer was a leading party to the fraud, and operated in this way: When one of the claims was presented to the Secretary of the Treasury he indorsed it Respectfully referred to the first auditor for examination and settlement. "VV. A.

IJicharuson. Sec." Treasurer Sawyer pressed Auditor Taylor to pass tht Account, but ha called Sawyer's attention to the indorsement which required "examination." Sawyer said he would take the case back, ant he soon returned with the word stricken out and-'approved'added to tne document, so that it read, '-Respectfully approved md referred to the first auditoi for settlement," and thereupon the claim was passed. Ail subsequent claims on the same account were passed through by virtue of this approval of the first one. It is now claimed for the government that Sawyer made these changes without authority. When the case was called this morning Messrs.

Cook, Jeffries and Crittenden appeared for the defense. An ett'oit to obtain a postponement until the 15th of October was un successful. A motion to quash the indictment was overruled, and Sawyer, Haines, Brooks and Barstow were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. The jury, which was chosen after examination on a roiriiire, is composed as follows: W. II.

Shea, Thomas t'anev, Joseph Weaver, A. II. Parks, P. II. Ward, 11.

II. Kaiser, Ralph Worm-lev, Tho. A. Gaut, J. P.

Nothing has yet been done in reference to the cases of Judges Grasou and ellott, presented for malfeasance last term, or in the case of Gen. John S. Berry. The present grand jury, it is said, will investigate the cases of the judges, as they think it due the accused to exonerate them if nothing exists upon which to rest the charge of malfeasance. Judge Yellott, who preferred the chtfrge of perjury against Gen.

Berry, says be will not go before the grand jury to testify in the case unless compelled by them to do so. He feels he has discharged his duty, and is desirous the matter shall rest without" nuy further procedure. He regards the whole action as hasty on the part of those concerned in it. Judge Yellott sits with Juaze Watters in the county court daily. Judge Grason went to Cumberland to-dav to see his son, John Urason, who is seriously ill of typhoid fever.

Some forty prisoners are in the county jail, several of them awaiting trial. A door has been cut through from the courtroom to the grand jury room, so that the grand inquest cau reach their apartment without going out of the court-room, as heretofore. The door from tbe grand jury room to that of the county school board has been closed up with bricks. Mr. Frank Moriins, chairman executive committee of the workingmen's party.

In charging the grand jury Judge John A. Lynch called attention to the circulation in this city of a vile Baltimore publication which has for some time past, by its scurrilous and indecent allusions to some of our most exemplary people, (through the medium of a depraved correspondent here,) been exciting the righteous indignation of the entire community.

He inveighed severely against it, and stated ia substance that obscene and scandalous matter of this kind, with its demoralizing aud corrupting tendency, ou2iitnot and could not be tolerated. He instructed them to take the matter into consideration, and upon the advice of the State's attorney to use all diligence in ferreting ont the parties instrumental in circulating it and bring them tojustice.

W1LU1U IUB Ol LUC DiatU UI JHSlJlttUU, The counsel agreed on a statement of the facts on which prayers for instructions were based, thus dispensing with a jury. The issues as raised by the pravers on the part of the State are, first, that the company is not ex empted by acts of Assembly from this tax; secondly, if there is auy exemption at all it is limited to the gross receipts from the capital stock used in the construction of the road from Baltimore to the Ohio river, and that the exemption does not apply to Ahe receipts from other parts of the road, mortgages, elevators, hotels, steamship lines, Judge Dobbin took the papers, and will give his views on the law of the case to-day. The case will be taken to the Court of Appeals promptly by either side. Suicide tcith a fistol. On Sunday last Mr.

Coroner Ogle was notifiea yesterday, but being satisfied ODon the statement of Dr. McKnew tnat tne death was a suicide, declined holding an inquest. Mr. Norris was forty-nine years of age. He was well kDown in the community which here- sided, and also Iu mercantile circles.

He was formerly a member of the hrm of JNorris, calwell but more recently occupied a desk in the office of J. A. Rigby, corner of German and boutb. streets. Mr.

The contracts were not awarded. The Azov and Hurnberq Collision. The suit of the owners of the bark Azov against the steamship Nurnberg for damages for the collision in the Chesapeake bay last May, in which the bark was sunk, was commenced in the United States Court yesterday. Four of the crew of the Azov were drowned. Thirty-five thousand dollars is claimed as damages.

Lastly, Carl Johannesscn, one of the crew of the bark, whose les was broken and who was sent to a hospital, claims $5,000 damages for his injuries. Wm. A. Fisher, of counsel, read the libels and the testimony of the second mate of the Azov, taken by Commissioner Brooks. The case goes on to-day.

Drowned in a Pond. Yesterday the body of a male child, apparently a month or six weeks old, was found drowned in a pond at the corner of O'Donnell and First streets. Canton. The discovery was made by boys playing by the pond. The body was very much decomposed and had been in the water for some time.

A handkerchief filled with sand had been tied around its waist as a sinker, but a portion of the sand had been washed out by the water, allowing the body to rise to the surface. No marks of violence were found upon it. Justice Adam Elgert decided that an inquest was unnecessary, as no evidence wa3 present to lead to identification. The body was taken in charge by county policeman A. S.

Crockett, and was buried. vl safe Attempt at Suicide. James Mc-Sourley, of Mechanics" court, while under the influence of liquor, swallowed two ounces of laudanum at the middle police station yesterday afternoon. He walked into the station and took a seat in a -chair. He then moved to another scat, and taking the vial of laudanum from his pocket becitoned to Capt.

Lannan to watch him drink it. When it was understood what he had done Capt. Lannan caused him to be removed to Washington University Hospital, where he was relieved of the poison. He was particularly anxious that the reporters should be informed that he had attempted suicide, but he took good care to select a place where he was safe. He is about 28 years old, and has been at the station several times.

The JtTethodist Preachers at their reeular weekly meeting yesterday resolved to place a tombstone at the grave of Rev. John Hagerty and his wife, Whose bodies have been recently removed from North Baltimore Cemetery to Mt. Olivet. Reports of revivals in various churches were received. Rev.

Dr. Clemm, Jef ferson Street Church, reporting thirty conver sions during the oast week. The corner-stone laying at Parlett Chapel and the improvements at Patterson Church were mentioned. The dis cussion was upon a pnrely theological topic. but it is expected that the subject of sectarian appropriations will be brought np very soon the attention of the preachers having been called to this matter by the last grand jury re port.

Rev. Dr. ciemm, it is expected, win open the discussion. Excuses from Jury Service. Judge Pink- ney made some timely remarks in the Citv Court yesterday ou hearing excuses of persons drawn tor the jury or that court who desired to avoid service as jurymen.

He said it generally happened that business men, who would make the best kind of jurymen, sought to escape the performance of jury duty, and these very per sons, when they have cases for trial in the court are loudest in complaints against the class of iuries which is lelt after excusing the best men on the list drawn. It is the dnty of every qualified citizen to serve the public as a juryman, and the court will excuse no man for business rea sons from this duty. By the judge firmness a good jury list was secured. The Odd-FMotes'' Library of Baltimore, which has been closed since June 30, was re opened last evening.

Important Railroad Enterprises Baltimore and Hanover ine Frotectina Jial-tlmore Trade. Final arrangements are being perfected for the construction of the Baltimore aud Hanover railroad, an enterprise of importance to the commercial interests of Baltimore, and tbe work is expected to commence at an early day. The road is to extend from Reis-teratown, where it will connect with the Western Maryland railroad to Black Rock on the Bachman Valley railroad, which point is immediately on the Pennsylvania line.

The new route is designed expressly as a direct outlet to Baltimore from the system of railroads controlled by the Hanover and Gettysburg railroad, for the purpose ot bringing to Baltimore an extensive trade which has long been directed to Philadelphia. Before railroads were constructed and operated in the immediate interest of Philadelphia the trade of that rich section came to Baltimore, its natural market. Years ago the Reis-terstown and Hanover turnpike was a busy thoroughfare for wagoning product to Baltimore. The incorporators of the Baltimore and Hanover railroad have had several meetings of late at Hampstead, Carroll county, and they have called a meeting for October 9, when a board of seven directors will be elected. The incorporators are Capt.

A. W. Eichelberger, president of the Hanover and Gettysburg railroad: Wm. Grumbine. L.

F. Melsheimer and Stephen Keef-er, of Hanover, and also interested in that road, and Chas. W. Slagle, of Baltimore; William H. Hoffman, Baltimore cunty; E.

S. Everhan, Manchester, and Chas. M. Murray, HaniD-stead, Carroll county. Two routes have been surveyed and nfapped out, tbe first and most direct running along the Reiisterstown and Hanover turnpike on the ridge seventeen miles long, and the second throngh the Worthington valley twenty-one miles.

Books of subscription to stock for both lines were closed some days ago. and will be laid before the directprs at the next meeting, when the line to be taken will be decided ou. The right of way has been given free on both routes, with two or exceptions, and the citizens have subscribed liberally. Larger subscriptions have been secured for the ridge line, which requires but little grading and little or bo bridging. The cost of construction is estimated within $12,000 a mile, labor and material being cheap at this time.

A perpetual contract has been entered into by the incorporators and the directors of the Western Maryland railroad whereby they have se- cordtue act favorable termj for Being tbe.
