Damage Suit Against Seloon-Keeper.
Sarah Burns yesterday fled suit in Squire
Shocks court against John Gels, salooa-
keeper at 81 South Delaware street, for $500
damages. Her complaint alleges that George
T. Burns is under the age OF twenty-one
years On q recent date George was furnished
liquor by defendant, and in an intoxicated
condition he went home, smashed up the
furniture and whipped his mother so severe
ly as to render her sick and cause her to go
to bed. The final result OF the spree was To
send George himself to bed and thus
render him unfit for labor of
bis trade, upon the emoluments of
which she and George lived. Because of this
interruption in the domestic life OF the
Burns family, which is directly attributed
by Mrs. Burns to the non-conformity OF Mr..
Gels to the strict Interpretation OF the Law
governing his business the suit ia fled. liz
will be tried Monday.

A NYAcK, New York, doctor had queer
incident with cigar in that town day or
two ago. He bought cigar as he went home
to his dinner After toe meal lie bit one of the
cigars and. after leisursly smoking for few
minutes, he was startled by loud explosion.
which knocked him from his easy chair. He
was blinded and severely burned about tho
face and head. Fragments of the cigar were
found scattered about toe room, and an
empty shell of twenty-five calibre pistol
cartridge was picked up. An experienced
oculist has charge OF tbs injured man. 1t is
feared that he may lose his sight. 1t Is not
thought that the cigar was known to have
contained the cartridge when sold, aud the
dealer says that the box from which the
cigar Was taken was received By bin from
the manufacturer but few days ago. The
maker, who is one of the most extensive
cigar manufacturers in the country. can not
account for the cartridge being in the cigar.

sBERIFF OARrER's APPEAL CASE.


The Bosrd of Commissioners recently re-
esiving and discharging prisoners from the
cosnty jail. These fees have heretofore
been allowed to Mr.. Csrter's predecessors in
Office. They were allowed all through the
term Of Sheriff Press!y and throughout the
term of Mr.. Hess, except the last settlement
the latter gentleman made with the county,
at which time 1t was known that Democrat
y a. elected to the Office of Sheriff Immedi-
a.ely ihereupon the County Board discovered
that the fees for receiving and discharging
prisoners were not pay able out of the County
Treasury. The present Board of Commits
soners bad allowed the bill for these
s-Tviees more than twenty-five times.
and yet they ntver discovered tina Il
wss not payable out of the County Treasury.
These fees are in plain terms given the lsria
by our statutee, and he is entitled to have
them paid. The question is not one a,,p
whether tie emoluments of the Sheriff ars
great or small, are too great or too title; 1t
is question OF rights under the law. 1t has
been declared by the Supreme Court of the
foremost State of this Union. that an ofi 20
is property. The incumbent has the same
right to it as he has 10 any other property
There is contract between him aud the
State that he will discharge the duties OF the
Office, and he is pledged by his oath, and the
State is pledged by it's honor that ne
shall Fave the emoluments OF his Office.
When the contract is struck il is mplete
aud binding IS a contract bstwasn in
tividuals, and it can not be abrogated or in.
paired except by the consent of both parties"
Fees are perquisites allowed to officers
who have to do with the administration of
Justice as q compensation for services rem
dered. The tees allowed by the statutes of
this State to the Sheriff are, as the courts
have declared, bis property. They are the
compensation for services rendered. Our
Constitution provides that ''no mans par
ticular services shall os demanded without
just com pensat;on." IN this case the Sheriff
is not asking anything more than mis- rights.
He has asked the County Board to pay for
services which are imposed on him
by his Office, and for which
payment has been provided by tine statutes
of this State. II there werc no statute OH
the subject the county would be bound to
compensate the officer, for il is decided that
whatever the lev requires an officer to do
or to furnish for the public the law requires
the public to psy for" But here is an sx.
hibition OF partisan rneanness attempting to
deprive Sheriff Garter OF what is justly due
him. The fees for receiving and discharg-
ing prisoners have been paid out of the
County Treasury of the various counties of
this State since the adoption of the first
fee bill in 1852. These fees are now paid
in every county in Indiana, except Marion
County, where the Board of Commission.
