 Items of Interest.
 The Fair Haven and Westville horse rail- road company got their cars on the Fair Ha. ven end running again yesterday afternoon communication with the city. The road is also open from Westville as far as Broadway, and cars were running on that end yesterday afternoon. The company hope to be able to clear the tracks from Broadway to the corner of State and Chapel streets today, and they will if the weather is such as to allow the workmen to work. The company also intend to open the State street branch to the depot
 to o-morrow, and by Thursday the entire line
 will again be in good condition. Since the
 work of clearing the tracks was commenced
 the road has had about 160 men and 50 or
 more teams at work. The men engaged in
 clearing the tracks at the Fair Haven end,
 about 100 in number, were under Contractor
 Blakeslee, while the others were on theWest
 vile branch The snow-plow may be of use
 to-day in brushing off the lighter snow on
 top, but good deal of work will yet have to
 be done with picks. Ice has settled on the tracks and the pick has had to be used all the way. This has made the work of clear ing the tracks slower than it would other wise have been.
 The social and supper which was to have been given by the Young Womens Christian Temperance union at their headquarters in Central Hall block last Wednesday night, but which was necessarily postponed, will be held at the same place tonight.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, May 10.-The
elected delegates to the county convention,
which will meet in this city next Thursday
to select delegates to the State convention
which meets at st. Augustine on May 20.
The closely watched and interesting court
martial case of Private Fraser, of the Jack
sonville Light Infantry, ended to-day, and
the court sent their finding to Gov. Perry,
a scaled decision. 1t will probably be made
public in a day or two. The fol-
lowing officers constituted the court:
Maj w. b. Young, Capt. Barnett
and Lieut.. Reynolds, of the artillery, and
Capt. Fleming and Lieut. Morello, of the
Metropolitan Light Infantry. Lieut.. Cock
rell, of the Jacksonville Light Infantry,
acted us Judge Advocate, and did the prose-
cutting. The most extreme penalty that
could be inflicted, if Private Frazer is found
guilty, is a fine of $50 and diShonorable dis
charge from the service. Military circles
are greatly interested in the result.
FRUSTRATED BY PARALYSIS.
At IL O'clock this morning Joseph Rivas,
senior member of the firm of Rivas q
KOopman, grOcers and bakers at No. 10
West Bay street, was in his store standing
at the counter, apparently in the best of
health. Suddenly, without warning, he
was noticed to be in pain, and an instant
later he fell TO the floor insensible. He
was carried to his residence, where
he remained unconscious for several
hours, despite the best of care. Mr.. Rivas
is an old citizen, having been for many
years identified with the mercantile in
terests of this city. He is about So years
old, IA native of Cuba and has always en-
joyed good health. He has a wife and
three sons, one of the latter grown The
physicians say that it is a stroke of paraly-
sis. At late hour tonight Mr.. Rivas was
improving.
The ward primaries tonight were ex-
ceedingly quiet and no arrests were made
Deputy United States Marshal Vinzant
left here at noon for Titusville, in response
TO a telegram, to take charge of two prison
ers there. The men were arrested there
last night, and it is supposed here that they
are post office robbers.

A ROYAL BABES MIsHAP.
The True Story Of the Bad Arm OF
Crown Prince William.

The True Story Of the Bad Arm of
Crown Prince William.
In a talk with New York Herald re-
porter a few days ago, DR.. G. F. Shrady
said:
The present difficulty of the Crown
Prince William dates from his birth, when
a fracture of the left arm occurred, which
resulted in that member being about 2
inches shorter than the other, and has given
rise to the stories of his being afflicted with
scrofula. Prior to the birth of her child
Empress Victoria, the then Crown Princess
was seriously i'll, and her mother, Queen
Victoria, dispatched from London two
English o. sterriciRns to attend her. These
physicians found themselves unable to cope
with the difficulty that pr scented itself, and
then arrived the necessity for consulta-
ton. A messenger was dispatched for Prof
Martin, the elder, since dead, who at the
time was high i'll the circles of the court
and president of one of the universities
Piqued at the introduction of the English
men in the case, to the exclusion of those
of the Fatherland, the eminent scientist re-
turned this answer: 'If | was not able to
attend to tire Crown Princess in the first
place, ! am not able to do it now"
Informed of this brusque reply of Prof
Martin, Emperor William, at that time
King of Prussia issued an imperial edict
ordering the obdurate physician to attend
the Crown Princess. Such summons had
to be obeyed. Prof. Martin went to the
palace. He was conducted into the pres
ence Of the Crown Princess, where were the
two English obstetrcians. Saluting the
Grown Prince, who was in the apartment
the German physician silently gave his at
tention to the royal mother, overcame the
difficulty that had puzzled the London
doctors, placed the new born infant in the
arms of a nurse, bowed stiffiy TO the two
protest. nal gentlemen from England, and
retired from the apartment without utter
ing word. Here was the spectacle of
proud, scientific man who would not unbend
for royalty. He had performed his duty.
in taciturn manner it is true, but that was
all. Prof. Martin was dismissed from court.
When the little Prince was or days old
it was discovered that his left arm was
Who broke it Il! Did the accident occur
through the agency of Prof. Martin, or
while the babe was in the care of Its English
attendants That question has never been
answered, probably never will be. The
doctor who broke the arm felt the snap of
the infantile bone. From the nature of
things he would keep the news to himself,
fearing to have it known that to him be-
longed the blame. The fracture of the
newly born infants arm is not an unusual
occurrence, and is not regarded in the medi-
cal profession as serious or attended by
great danger. In this case, however, when
the bones knit the left arm of the Prince
was shorter than the right, and it has ever
since so remained.

From the London Daily Netos
That every visitor to Spain who makes
his way to the old Roman and Moorish city

tcctural labyrinth of the courts below that
Dr. Middleton one day last week accepted
the protfered services of a gypsy, under
whose guidance he assembled till the twain
found themselves at last i'll the little gallo Y

one as could well be imagined. What noises
there are in the sleepy old city far down
below reach here only In n confused muir

such a height to call for succor. DR.. Mid
dletonS account is that when he had arrived
at this point his slulster companion, pre-
tending to quarrel, made a sudden attack
upon him, presumptively with a view to
robbery and murder, and that, III sclf-de-

get out his revolver and shot his a,Sailant

aud bleeding from pistol-shot wound, the
story necessarily rested upon the mere state
ment of the stranger; TOR, apart from the
two principals, no human eye had rested on
the deadly struggle. DR.. middleton, how
ever, lost no time in surrendering himself
TO the authorities, by whom he was promptly
LOGGED in Jail pending the necessary in
quiries. Fortunately for him certain facts
have just been brought 10 light which can
leave no reasonable ground TO question the

AN IDIOT AND A GIBBET
GOV. GORDON COMMITTEES THE

ATLANTA, GA, May 10-About month
ago William Hopkins and his brother killed
William Thomas for refusing to take a
drink of whisky with them at a church
door in Rabun county, and within one week
from the commission of the crime William
Hopkins was convicted of murder and
sentenced to be hanged. He was sentenced to
be hanged tomorrow, and had the sentence
been executed it would have been remark
able example. of swift justice. 1t would
have been also a tragic comment on the
illiteracy of some parts of Georgia, that a
young man who could neither read
nor write, and was even reported to be igno-
rant of the existence of God was hanged for
q murder committed at a church door, upon
no more provocation than the refusal Of the
victim to take drink with him it seems,
however, that the iliteracy in the murderer
was coupled with semi-idiocy, and the Gov
ernor, upon the recommendation Of the
judge and solicitor who tried and pro @
cuted Hopkins, and upon petition of citi-
zens, has decided that this is case whore

cised. He committed his sentence this morn
