BEFORE THE MAYOR.
Glimpses of Character in the Trial Of Cases in
the City Court on Monday Morning.

Harrison Campbell colored, appeared In the
Mayors court, yesterday morning, as the prose-
cutting witness against Mr.. Johnson, also col
ored, in a case of assault and battery. Mr.
Campbell introduced, in evidence, badly con-
fused eye He hadn't said anything to Mr.
johnson, who had, he testified. fired away and
cracked me, and said if he rested for it
next time he would spew his [Campbelrs brains
all over town"
Mr. Johnson acknowledged cracking" him.
He was very much provoked. Campbell kept a
vicious dog. and the dog had bittaG his horse
through the nose and on the necksfter Camp
bell had been repeatedly told to keep the dog
tied up
Mayor Denny-A man who persists in keep
ing vicious dog ought to be cracked once in a
while. Why do people who can hardly buy
bread keep dogs2 It's plea of guilty, but I'll
make the fine reasonably light.
A middle-aged man named Bay and young
man named Mullane were placed in the box. Mr.
Mullanes face was an eloquent witness against
Mr.. Bay He had bad cut over his right eye
and various minor embellishments. The charge
against Mullane made by Bay was that he had
pushed or showed Mrs Bay. Mr.. Mullane and
wife roomed with the Bays and, as it appeared in
evidence, Mullane was q cents, one day, In ar
rears for room rent.
The Mayor remarked that Mr. Bay appeared
to have introduced new system of getting pos
session of property. He said he didn't approve
of the use of stove-lids in dispossessing tenants,
and fined Mr.. Bay $25 and COSTA total of
$34 40.
Lucinda Davis, a neat-appearing colored
woman, was brought in charged with disturbing
the peace. A small leather sack filled with
stones was introduced in evidence. 1t was a
home made slung-shot She had not used
it, but had started out on the rampage
with that intention She said her husband
spent his money on another woman, and at
Charley Polsters saloon, leaving her and her
child without crust of bread to eat On Sun
day she had started out TO End him, and he had
struck her, but she had not struck him back.
She had had an hysterical angry fit on the
North-street bridge over the canal, and the
police had run her in. The poor woman cried.
The Mayor was lenient and fined her ST..
VIM and Ellen Gaskell, husband and wife,
who live in block on the corner of Indiana
avenue and Douglass street, were brought in.
She wore ragged sun bonnet, and taking it off.
showed the Mayor face covered with bruises.
Her husband had whipped her twice on Sunday,
once in the forenoon and once in the afternoon.
The brutal husband, a very tough looking citi-
zen. appealing to the Mayor said he had been
greatly provoked that his wife was an opium
eater and got drunk on beer. She, too, was
charged with assault and battery.
Mayor Denny-You needn't talk any more
about her assault and battery on him. / would
not find her guilty if she had struck him forty
times. You go home. madame. I'll find
him guilty of everything charged.
Mr.: Gasken will retire to the work house for
sixty days.

cluded. fare only few sample cases. but the
people are getting their eyes open TO the imposi-
ton of the Infamous thing. and believe they
will resent it at the polls. If any OF 1t was in
the interest of the people there would be some
excuse for it. but as it is simply and wholly in
the interest of lot of schemng politicians, it
deserves the fate that is due all intrigues that
come in conflict with healthy public policy and
the general welfare Of the people"

'sThe earthquake is caused, 1 think" said State
Geologist Thompson yesterday, in reply to an in
quiry, "by disturbances from or beyond the At
lantic. The theory that it is caused by dis
placement of land in that section of the CONT
nent seems to me unreasonable. The crust OF
the earth along the Atlantic coast is supposed to
be rather thin, and l have no doubt that at
some time the ocean covered all of the land
reaching to the rock line back Of Charleston. A
slow upheaval has doubtless been in process for
thousands of years, and at some time there will
be mountainous range along the coast just as
there is along the Pacific. Such an upheaval,
however, Is not going to take place in a minute,
month, or probably less than
million years It is a slow process. It would
prophecy to what will develope from the
earthquake, because there is no means OF know
ing just what Its results will be. The shocks
nav continue for some time. The earth
quake of 1911 continued violently for
more than a month, and lakes disappeared and
appeared, some of those that may now be found
in Tennessee and Missouri, having sprung into
existence during that time. The great destruc-
ton of property at Charleston may be partly ex-
planned by the character of houses that they
have there. Nearly all of the dwellings are
succeed brick, and the walls are very weak.
Many of the houses are built on high founda-
tions, and, altogether it taxes but slight
quake to cause them to collapse"

REMARKABLE SURGERY.
A Man with Six Bullets in His Head-Trache-
otomy Performed,

Few York World.
The surgeons at Bellevue Hospital are deeply
interested in the case of Marshall j. Hillman,
the merchant of Barre, Mass. who fred six bull
let's into his head at the Grand Union Hotel on
Friday When taken to the hoptal it was found
that but two bullets had produced dangerous
wounds, one having fractured the skull and the
other having entered the throat at Adams apple.
These required most delicate operations includ-
ing the trephining of the skull and after hours of
careful work. remarkably successful results were
obtained. The case will doubtless be carried
down to PROSPERITY in the history of surgery DR..
Mitchell performed the operation, assisted by
Drs Howell, Clark, Charlton and Lambert. The
operation was effected as follows:
The patient was placed upon long. narrow
operating table. and his head and shoulders were
elevated by pillows and covered with sheet
and piece of oil cloth The scalp was shaved and
the bone exposed by an incision. The bleeding
of the small arteries of the scalp was stopped by
compression. The crown of the trephine was
planted upon sound portion of the bone The
instruments were moved in semi-circular sweeps
from right to left and left to right until it had
formed groove deep enough to maintain its place.
The bone dust was then removed with brush.
Approach to the dipo indicated by a great
er freedom Of motion, increasing flow of blood
and dimunition of the grating sound. The OPP
orator moved with more caution now, and the
disk of the bone came away in the saw. All
depressed pieces of bone were next ele-
waited and all loose pieces removed. The
bleeding vessels were then tied, and the wound
in the scalp carefully drawn together by catgut
suture, small interspace being left for drain
age. the wound was dressed antisepticaly be-
ing busted with odiform and covered with gauze
soaked in bichoride Of mercury. Over this was
placed some borated cotton, and over this roller
bandage
The doctor then began the operation of trache-
otomy rendered necessary by the wound in the
throat. An incision was made in the skinaof the
throat below the CLOTHS, and certain muscles
were separated An opening then made in
the trachea Ordinarily after tls operation the
condition of the patient varies. He is quite
well one minute. and then suddenly, from the
swelling of the loose tissues around the CLOTHS,
suffocates. and is liable to die before relief can
be attempted In this case, the incision being
made below the CLOTHS, the danger of suffoca-
ton was avoided.

That must be bad cause that can only be
defended with lies. And such unblush hing
falsehoods as the Bell organs are putting for
ward every day are rarely seen. Thus the
New York Sun says that the Governments
suit against the monopoly is unprecedented.
Yet, as we showed last Sunday, there are sew
eral important preoedents in suits brought
by former Attorneys General. The Sun says
the points at issue have already been Judi
cially determined, and that they are in
volved in pending suits. This again il not
true. The main point is whether the Bell
monopoly is founded upon fraud, and the
courts hold that a private litigant cannot
allege against the adverse patent that it was
obtained by fraud-that being matter be-
tween the Government and the patentee,
to be pleaded only in suit brought by
the United States TO vacate a patent
There was no way to reach this question ex-
cept that taken by the Solicitor General with
the approval Of Secretary Lamar, and those
officers would have been recreant to their
duty had they failed to bring to judicial
test, on behalf of the people of the United
States, the validity of the patents claimed by
the Bell monopoly.
