THE TRUSTEE QUESTION.

Some weeks ago Attorney.Ceneral
Davenport gave it as his opinion
tina, the Act passed by the Legislature
in regard to the election Of school
trustee was unconstitutional, and the
several elections were null and void
This opinion, however, does not settle
the matter, and probably the only way
to settle it will be TO have the new
boards tina, were elected go on with the
business they are called upon 10 trans
act, until some one Of The old board
makes an objection, and then make a
test case.

BALTIMORE, May 27.-The jury in the
Kirkland assault case, after an absence
of a few minutes, brought in a verdict at
6 O'Clock tonight of guilty against James
Graham Pearre, the prisoner, as charged
in the Indictment. From 1G a. m. the
case had continued without interruption

the jury. The courtroom during the entire
time had been crowded with the same

to blacken his victims name in order TO
brighten his case. and asserted that he had
been led to Mrs. Kirkland's room by not
understanding the elevator boys answer.
He averred that while in his victims
room he used no violence, although he
confessed that she left it to escape him.
The evidence of the prOprietress and
servants of the hotel disproved part OF his
statement, while her reputation dis
proved the others. His counsel tried hard
TO save him, but without success. The
case Will probably be appealed. The
verdict, however, meets with popular APP

years in the peniteutiary at hard labor.
In the evidence some surprise was occa-
stoned by the prisoner acknowledging
that he had been married five years ago,
while at school, but was divorced from
his wife a year later, fact unknown
even to his most intimate friends.

murder in June, lS16, before the
Court of General Sessions for
Edgefield county. He was found guilty
of manslaughter, and was recommended
to mercy. The penalty OF manslaughter
is from two 10 twenty years imprison-
ment. The presiding Judge requested
the States solicitor TO assist him IN writ
ing out the sentence, aud the solicitor
believing that the criminal law had been
amended as to manslaughter, prepared
sentence Of life Imprisonment, which was
signed and pronounced by the Judge.
The court then adjourned sine die. The
error was discovered too late TO be cor
rected.

before the Supreme Court for a writ OF

Supreme Court holding that it cannot
correct an error Of the Circuit Court on
habeas corpus proceedings, but only on
appeal. An appeal was therefore taken.
the question was within what period of
time could a man appeal from criminal
sentence. Counsel for the prisoner con-
tended that there was no limit TO the
time, and the supreme Court has so de-
cided. The judgment below is reversed,
and the prisoner is remandeG for sentence

The CentraI,s New Purchase.


The directors of the Greenville and
Lsurens Railroad have authorized Presi-
dent Mauldin to contract with President
Raoul for the consolidation of the Green
Vile and LauIens Road with the Central.
A delegation Of officials of the road, it
will be remembered, was in Savannah in
conference with President Raoul and the
Central directors in February. At the
last meeting of the Greenville and Lau-
rens directors President Raoul was pres
ent, and had with him written PROPOSE
ton. which was not submitted to the
meeting owing to the fact that by vote
the directors decided that they were not
then ready to act upon proposition.
The substance of the proposition was
stated verbally TO the meeting by DR..
Mauldin at the time. 1t was definitely
stated at meeting on Wedoes-
day that President RGoul had not
changed his views upon the subject, and
that he was ready to treat with DR.. Mauldin
looking to the speedy completion of the
road. The action Of the meeting on
Wednesday, it is claimed, may, therefore,
be regarded as virtually an acceptance of
Mr.. RaouPs offer, with possibly a mOdi-
hcation of some of the details, which are
Of little Importance. President RaouPs
proposition, which he was prepared TO
make at the former meeting, says the
Charleston Nelcs and Courier, gave the
Central two years in which to complete
the road and have it in operation, but he
assured DR.. Mauldin at the time that it
was the purpose of the Georgia Central
in the event of a consolidation to COM
mence work at once, and to have the road
in operation from Laurens to Greenville
in the fall of the present year. There is
every prospect, therefore, that the new
road will be completed in time for the fall
trade. DR.. Mauldin has yet to meet
President Raoul and complete the con-
tract, which will doubtless be done at an
early day.
The Central is to have majority of the
stock and a controlling interest in the
road, and the consolidation is to be per-
manent. The counties of Greenville and
Laurens, the present owners of the road,
will continue as stockholders, owning the
balance or minority Of the stock. The
bright prospect for the early completion
of the road is welcome news to the people
of the section of country through which
il runs,
