Captain Sadler, of the State of Florida, it is
reported that while he fully realized the in

set about to do all he could to save the lives
of those who had committed themselves to his

In the Superior Court, Judge Howe has
affirmed the law limiting the number of JUS
tees of the peace in township, and provid-
ing that they shall be residents of their partic

matter of form, to the general term but it is
not presumable that Judge Howes careful
and deliberate opinion will be overruled, and
if it should be taken to the Supreme Court
the Judgment will unquestionably be affirmed
1t is we'll to have this law definitely settled,
for more than one reason. One reason, and
the most important one, is that the Justices

IT is said that the number of shocks in an
earthquake varies indefinitely, as do the in
tervals between them. Sometimes the dis
turbance lasts only a few seconds. Thus, the
city of Caracas was destroyed in about half a
minute, 10, 600 lives being lost in that time,
Lisbon was overthrown in five or six minutes,
but the Calabrian earthquake which began in
February, 1888, lasted through a continued
series Of shocks for nearly four years, until
the end of 1886 The earthquake that pros
trated the Democratic party in 1860 is the
longest on record, having lasted twentyfour

a fair compensation, wherefor they can afford
to make their courts as dignifed and efficient
as courts of higher grade, while such talent
can be commanded for justices that these
courts of the poor man, of the small suitor,
may command degree of respect that will
serve to reduce the amount OF more costly
litigation in the courts above. Another reason
why it is we'll that this case has been decided

township convention and the township cen

but as to all, except one justice, the entire

MAYOR MCMAsrER will be heartily sus-
tanned in the position he has assumed with
respect to what is known as the 'higher law
toward the liquor saloons in this community,
a law the creation of Commissioners Murphy
and Frenzel, as the public are at present adj
vised, and against which Commissioner Malott
has protested without avail Superintendent
LANCE is understood to be perfectly willing to
undertake the enforcement of the law as it is
written in the statute book, but he has been
given to understand that he must only enforce
it as the majority of the board desires it, and
that is, that saloons with back doors are to be
permitted to sell on Sundays and at all hours,
with impunity, while those which are not pro-
vided with this facility must be arrested,
brought into the Mayors Court and fined, in
order TO keep up pretense for the virtuous
police board It is insisted that Mayor Nc
Masters only duty is to pass judicially upon
the cases presented to him by the police, and
that he has overstepped the prerogative of his
Office in saying and doing what he has. Such "a
position cannot be maintained for a moment
The mayor is not dummy or a mummy
He is presumed to be a live man, to know
something of what is going on about him,
and to be able to tell when he is being made a
tool of and his court turned into farce. The
mayor is the highest police and peace officer
of the city. He is the superior, by virtue of
his Judicial function, and by the very necessi-
ty of his Office, to the police force, which are
but the right hand, the executive ministers, of
his court. 1t is a reversal of the natural and
legal order to say that the mayor is the Great
ure and tool of the police board, and that, as
mayor, he can do nothing and know
nothing but such things as the po-
lice board-though it be Independent of
his immediate personal and ministerial
control-shall ask him to do, or shall assume
credit of the city, the public peace, and the
dignity of his own Office and court to main
tain, and to say that all these shall be at the
mercy of lawless combination between a
majority of the police board and a law defy
ing, arrogant, tax-eating, corrupt and thor
oughly vicious element, is to ask more than
either the law or the patience of the people
will concede Let Mayor McMaster keep to
his position, and see that his court, at least, is
kept free from the faint of the foul alliance
which brings all law and justice into con
tempt.

 Dr. M. O. White, medical examiner, by di- rection of the coroner, yesterday made at the almshouse an autopsy in the case of Mary Conofrey. the unfortnnAte young woman whose death was. yesterday reported Ger tain features of the case led to the suspicion that an abortion had been procured and that possibly her death had been in part the result of Q criminal operation. Deceased had stated in her interview with Attorney Dailey, who'married her to Dorsey, that Dorsey had betrayed her and that she was likely to be, come mother. The autopssy disclosed no such state of the case and that she had not been the subject of criminal operation. pr. White further states that Miss Conofrey had once given birth to nearly fully devel- oped child, but this. at the latest, could not have occurred within several weeks at least. There was no sign of poisoning apparent. as it was not expected to find any, as opium is absorbed into the system so thoroughly as to leave no trace in the stomach or else where Dr. White found that Miss Como frey's heart was in diseased condition and that she had Q tumor which might explain her belief Rs to her condition It is not impossible that she took the laudanum to re- heve pain and with no intention of suicide, and accidentally swallowed an overdose. Coroner Bollman thinks however, that Miss Conofrey died from the standardization of the laudanum.
