'flic air lias been full of rumors yester day about a ohooling crape which took place , as alleged , at Kallon's Cotlonwood villa , on Sherman avenue , lasl night. The story was to the ouVot that a number of Omaha pugilistic lights , conspicuous amonj ; whom was McCormiek , were at the road house dis cussing the merits of various fighters , when a dispute arose as to Me- OirinlcV' prowc . That worthy , it is said , became wrathy. ami .suddenly let out his right < | tiarn" into the face of a man \sho N as making ll ht ot him. A free light , it is * aid , followed , in which lovolvi'rs were drawn. McCormiek , it is alleged , was shot , receiving serious though not neecsnanly dangerous wound. Whore ho was taken to , or what became of the man who did the shooting could not be ascertained , Professor P ) . Tallon who was ques tioned about the matter yesterday after noon , denied that any such affair had happened at his plac. Ho could not ac count for the ruinorc , but thought that it was originate by some envious person who wanted injure him or the reputation of liis place. Later on in the day it was reported that IMeUorniiek's wounds had been received in a brawl at a saloon in South Umalm , and that lie liid : died. Me- Cormick since the light in which he broke Al Marx's jaw , has been ar rojant ; in the extreme , and tried to "lord it over" men whom ho considered in ferior in pugilistic ability. It is proba ble that the trouble of Monday night arose from his too free display of these characteristics. HAMjHOAI ) TAXATION. An IntrrcMttiK Discussion lU'I'orc Wakeloy Vrstcrclny Morning. The much mooted question as to the right of the cliy to tax all railroad prop erty within Hie corporate limits , was be fore Judge Wakcley yesterday niorninpr , and was discussed by Mr. PopploLon for the railroads and by City Attorney Cou ncil on behalf of the city. The question arose on a demurrer filed by the city , to a petition of the Union Pacific railway company , asking for an injunction to prevent the collection of taxes assessed against certain properly belonging to the railroad company. It was claimed by the city attorney that notwithstanding the state law rcnnlrinc railroad and telegraph companies to make returns of its property to the state board of equalisation , that the city had iiowotr to assess nil such properly us might no within the limits of the city , the samn as the property of other corporations and individuals is assessed. Mr. Popplelon de nied the correctness of this proposition. and contended that for the purpose of city taxation the pro rata proposition of milage , as determined by the slate board of cqnali/ation , was the only proper sys tem of the taxation of railroad right-of- way , depot , grounds , etc. Mr. Popple- Ion also urged that oven is such system was not correct , all objection thereto should be addressed to the legislature , in place of to the courts. . JJiirin'j : the nrpunipr.tr. the citv attorney .jUlkeiLMr _ P. ! > tip1tton if lie denied the proposilion , that under the present state law , if tiic charter in express terms gave the city the right to tax all railroad property within the limits , according to valuation , the city would have. such rijjlit , and thai such right would not bo in con- llict with the stale law. To the question of the city attorney , Mr. Popploton responded , Dial if such charter provision was enacted subsequent to Uio stale law , Iho city would probably have such right , and il would not bo in conflict witli the state law. Upon the conclusion of the arguments , Judge Walsely took the cao under ad visement , and will probably render liis decision bcforo the adjournment of the present term of court. With regard to the taxes involved in the litigation , it was further claimed by j\lr. Popploton as a matlor of fael ll > at the city had already collected taxes for the jear in controversy , according lo Iho system for which lie contended , and the city attorney admitted lhat if such was the tact , the city could not again collect taxes for such year upon a valuation as sessment , for that would amount to double taxation. The principal question involved still remains lor settlement by the charter amcndmcnl committee , and it is prob able thai in view of the admission of Mr. Popploton that the charter may bo so amended as to assess all railroad properly for oity taxation according lo valuation thai such an amendment will bo made.

"It Is a startling fact , shonn up by ic- liable figure" ! , " said an army ofliccr ve tcr- day ; "that 50 per cent of tlic oldiors in department won1 , during the past year , tried by court martial. Most of them , of course , were tried for putty ofl"ensc , "such as tlriinkenncvs , being oft" duty without leaye of absence. Tliis is a pitiful show ing , and at the same titno its truth enn not be-dispntcd. It proves that there is something radically wrong with the pros- nut system of court martial. As the thing is now , if : i soldier goes ofT or be comes intoxicated , he is immediately tried by court martial , and sentenced tea a term in tin- guard lion e. That relieves him from duty ami throws the work on the men who behave lhnm ches. 'I his di couargos tlio good soldiers anil helps the bad ones The fact is there ought to be a fi\ed undo of laws , rigidly onioroeil , with a certain punishment for each crime .something similar to the code which obtains in the police court. Tuuti a soldier who disobeys these laws would know , | ust what punishment to ev poet. Under the present sy tum a sol dier , tried by our court martial , might get a sentence , more severe or more leni ent than a soldier who commits the very same crime , but is tried by a dill'erent court-martial board. In my opinion there ought to bo less guard-house sen tence and more lining done. Let a sol dier umler tuul ! that an infringement of the law is going to eo t him the half or half or whole of his months pav and ho will be pretty apt to keep .straight. 1'or that reason a lixcd code of laws and lines ought to bo determined upon. "The percentage of crime among the .soldiers during the past year , " continued the speaker has perhaps been creator on account of the change of regiments which has taken place. Men who have been stationed at posts far out in the western country , have brought into the "confines of civilization , " and they immediately proceed to allow their vicious tendencies lull play. This is illustrated in the case of the second and the twclth regiments ol infantrv. " ( Sons. Crook and Dandy have returned from their trip to Hobinson and Niobrara AMIKIGIir'S ClIOH'R. NOTICS.
