Road Duty -. Important Ruling by
Judge Wallace.
lkeowee Couricr.1

On an appeal from a Trial Justice,
imposing a fine upon a party for failure
to work the road. Judge Wallace, at this
term. of Court made IN important rul-
ing. We report it from information
only. The defaultcr had in his posses
sion a certificate Of disability from a
physician, which was held sufficient
excuse. and a fine Of five dollars was
imponed. Judge Wallace confirmed
the decision of the Court below and dis.
missed the appeal. In so doing, His
Honor stated the certificate of a physi-
clan was an e1 parte statement and
only a ground of excuse. The party
sheltering himself under such exemp.
ton can be returned as n defaulter. and
the Trial Justice on hearing the case
can determine on the character and
extent Of disability: If, on hearing the
evidence, he concludes there is an
actual disability, either temporary VI
permanent, the defaulter ia excused.
otherwise he can impose the usunl
fine.
The decision is based both on law and
sound common sense. for the law de-
clares all able bodied persons, within
scertain ages, liable to road duty, and it
rs a farce OF. every person who has
lost a finger or had a limb broken in
time, as consequently exempt, when he
may be one Of the ~stoutest and henrtiest
men in the County while a weakly and
decrepit man, having no visible defect,
is compelled to work the roads. The
aim and object Of the law is to exact no
pablo duty only from those physically
disabled. Persons of good health and
sound constitution. who can do labor Of
any and all kinds. are not contemplated
by the Statute. The ruling will add q
good number OF able road hands to the
Comfy.

Seminary has been engaging the atten-
ton Of the Synods, arrived in this city
Mt eight o'clock last night. coming in or
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Goor-
gia Railroad. He stopped ut the Kim

daitcly discovered that his watch was

upon going to look at the time of night,
and excited much sympathy when he
only found the silk guard hanging
around, the thief having slipped it from
the watch. The watch was Il handsome
double case gold and had his monogram
81. W." engraved on the cover. DR..
Woodrow was very much panied
ut its loss, as he priced it very
highly, having been presented him from

Gladstone on the Irish Question.

LONDON. Eng, November 9.-Glad-
stone, in Edinburgh, said "The Irish
question is about to assume a new posi-
ton. because it is not now n question Of
cruel grievance. Thanks to the pa
thence, zeal and energy and good sense
OF Parliament, the grievances have one
by n been removed, but I know that
my fellow countryman in Ireland still
feel and believe that one grievance re-
mains. concerning the management Of
their own country, as opposed to i'm
perial concerns. Formerly the cleo
torate Of Ireland was so limited that
it was almost impossible to recognize
its utternnce rs the voice Of the Nation.
The members were split into three parts
-Parnellites, Tories and Liberals.
Now Ireland's electorate is as broad as
extended, as we'll qualified to speak of
the wants and wishes Of the people as
are the electors of Scotland and Eng
land. I am confident England will
never repent giving perfect equalityS to
Ireland. We must look a step further
forward, and expect the party which is
probably in vast majority in Ireland to
demand the large powers Of s~clf-govcrn
ment. Such will be u grave contingency
But let it not fill us with alarm, because
as long as we give literally, equitably
and prudcntly it will be needless to
fear the results, assuming always that
nothing will be demanded that would
Ijeoparadize or compromise the unity Of
the Empire. If such demand be made
we. will know how to deal with it. tt is
unjust for the people Of ireland to
think any other basis is contemplated.
Whatever demand Ireland may constitu-
tionally make, unless it infringes on the
principles connected with the honorable
maintenance of the unity Of the Empire.
VIC are bound, at any rate, to treat it
with careful attention Loud cheers].
10 stint Ireland in the powers ncces-
sary or desirable for the management Of
purely Irish matters, is a great error.

has a close and immediate bearing on
the circumstance connected with the
present elections. Taking part in Par
Lament in the handling Of this question
it is not for me a great difficulty to con-
template, because in years past I have
declared that such a discussion would
be allowable but also beneficial once the
wishes of Ireland had been constitu-
tionally enumerated. l am confident
that the Liberal vote in the next Par
Lament will exceed that Of the Tories
and Parnellites combined. If it does
not the Empire will be endangered.
The fair consideration of the probable
Irish demands is a new and commanding
reason why, stunding shoulder to shoul-
der, uniting heart with heart and mind
to mind, we should adhere to the great
and liberal policy received from two
generations Of statesmen"

That Disturbed Ms. Kate Toulouse
AND Confused Officer Harvey.
Mrs. Kate Toulouse is not unknown to
police fame. She brought herself con-
spicuously into print about two years ago
by stabbing her husband late one night at
the door of Aberles low variety show on
Newark avenue. She pleaded that he
spent his nights and his money with the
dissolute women that he met inside, while
his family was left to starve at home, and
public sympathy was strongly with her.
Her husband deemed it wise not to press
the charge of atrocious assault against
her, and she was discharged from
custody. Harry that was his name
probably behaved himself for a
little time after that Four months
ego, however, he abandoned her,
and she has been living with George chad
wick, who she says is her cousin, in apart
ments over the Three Bells, saloon on
Henderson street. The sThree Bells" was
originally the name of a vessel that achievss
ed fame twenty years or more ago, by the
heroism of her crew in saving life, and in
admiration of her exploits the proprietor of
the saloon painted her name over his
saloon door. Early yesterday morning
there was violent racket at the door at the
side of the saloon leading to the apartments
up stairs.
"Who's thereg" asked Kate.
"Its Charley" answered the stranger,
who clamored tor admission.
ssWhat do you want?" queried the
woman.
ST want to see you" was the answer that
came back.
s'Come at the right hour, them" replied
Mrs. Toulouse.
Still the man clamored at the door,
Chadwick finally leaped from his bed to
drive him away. As he reached the door
it crashed in. Just then along came Off ger

was booked as Thomas Start, of % South

Under Lock and Key.
Sim bound to marry that girl now,
Judge"
Thus spoke a young fellow, whose blonde
face was decorated with blonder mus
tache, to Police Justice Stilsing yesterday
morning. He was Frederick Haywood,
who used to he barkeeper in Mahken's
saloon, on the corner Of Montgomery street
and Greene The reference was to the
pretty daughter of John Gardner who
lives at No. IL Court House Place,
on the Heights. Haywood had boarded
in Gardners house and made love to
Gardeners pretty daughter. The young
couple met the other evening, and intended
to go off on the sly and get married Gard
ner was opposed to the marriage, and he
tracked them out, took his girl away and
had Haywood arrested. The young bar
tender made public profession of his affec-
ton for the maiden. He confessed that he
was ssdead mashed on her, and wanted her
for wife,
"You already have wife," shouted the
irate father.
ssNo, sir, !" retorted the blonde faced man
with the blonder mustache. sNeyer. I
defy you to produce any one who can say
that am married man"
He was held, and the young
woman was borne off in triumph
by her indignant parent, not, however,
till she had stolen into the unwholesome
cellar IN which her lover was immured, and
renewed her troth through the iron bars
that separated them. Yesterday morning,
when the case was called in court for final
disposition, Haywood was there of course.
The police made him be there. The old
man was there, but the daughter was non
est. Gardner said she was suffering from
nervous prostration, but others suspected
that he had put her lock and key to keep
her from her beau. The old man returned
to his charge that the prisoner is already
married man. He produced an anonymous
missiye upon postal card that, with beau
tiful uncertainty, said:
81 know him, but he's not married to
me-"
seThat's true murmured the blonde
mustached prisoner, leaving the court in
serious doubt as to what it was that was
true.
"And you had that postal card sent to
me, !" roared the old man.
IN yer, siri" meekly answered the sutton
for his daughters hand, 81 wouldn't do
such thing"
Judge Stilsing concluded that it was no
crime for the young fellow to be married,
but pistol had been found in his pocket,
and he was fined for carrying that. The
old man had fruitlessly endeavored to per-
suade the owner of Mahnkens saloon to
say that the young man had stolen the pis-
toll; but he wouldn't and as there were no
other charges against the young man he
was allowed to 60.
ssLet my girl marry bar-keeper"
snorted the old man as he wheeled out of
court, s'well, guess not!"
Haywood found out last evening where
his lady was imprisoned, and sang love
song to her beneath her chamber window.
