A little boy stepped off the car this at
ternoon and spilled his can full Of kero-
sene on the track. The poor little fellow
was overcome with grief, and cried bit
terly when kind, benevolent, old man
came up, patted him on the head, and
said: "N,ver mind, little fellow, it
wasn't your fault, and you needn't care
who-seen you" This pun added insult
to injury and was the last straw. The
boy dropped his can and ran.

THE LATE AFFRAK.
A Question, Perhaps an Idle One,
But Well Intended.


On Wednesday afternoon the passen-
ger train bound to Knoxville, somewhere
between here and Marshall, was the
scene of exceeding violence. intoxicated
men took virtual possession of the first
class coach, weapons were drawn and
Aourished and fired, passengers fleeing
and crouching from the shots, and taking
refuge in the next coach. The upshot
was that one of the party was badly
shot in the left breast, and when pros
trate on the floor, was badly dubbed, by
the man who shot him, with the butt OF
a pistol; and then all the parties got OFT
at Marshall. and no arrests have yet
Leen made.
The question occurs, where is the SeCu'
ritv of passengers under such circum
stances? Where is the protection of the
law, and where it's vindication Does
the question of Jurisdiction come in. anc
must legal action be suspended unit
that is decided? Must a disturbance
ending i'll bloodshed, beginning in Bun
combe and ending in Madison, be passet
over because of the uncertain definition
of county jurisdiction? Orrather, canno
the Judge now on the bench here settle al
these questions of underlined jurisdiction
assume a general jurisdiction, and issu
a bench warrant to have the transgress
ors brought before him, and disposed OF
They will not be hard to find. All pas
senecrs on trains are interested to knoN
how, and how far, the laws OF the Ian
will protect them.

Mr.. J. p. Sawyer, Member of the

Full Reports as to BuncOmbe's
Counts Jail and Poor House.
The calling out of it's dormant state
the Board of Public Charities into active
existence has been followed out in many
counties by the work outlined by Capt.
[. B. benson, head of the board. 1t has
been intelligently andindustriously taken
up in this county by Mr.. J. P. Sawyer, a
member of the board. Like good work
will be done, possibly has been done, in
he other counties in the west.
The intelligence and humanity OF apeo-
ple are best illustrated by their consider

the poor ye have always with you,"

performing their allotted part in the
economy of society and of humanity.
Their position is involuntary and per-

TO relieve and ameliorate it. So withthe
prisoner, in the eye of the law innocent

having rightful demand on the law and
humanity, even if ultimately the law
shall adjudge him a criminal; tor he is
still human.
We present the reports as follows, show

its rule and christian charity holds its

CKuRcH- GOING PY rELEpHoNr.
The Sick and the Lazy May Enjoy the
Services at Home.


From the Boston Herald
1t has been rumored frequently since the
telephone went into operation that it
could be used for transmitting the sermons
and the church services on Sunday to the
homes of those who could not attend Sun
day worship, or were too lazy to put forth
the necessary exertion; but it has oeen felt
that there was more poetry than truth in
any such device. 1t is now stated by
correspondent of the London Standard
that the South of England Telephone
Company has been able to convey to in
valids, to doctors aud chemists assistants
on duty, to people five miles distance from
church and to large numbers of private
residences i'll various parts of an English
town, the whole of the church service Sum
day morning and evening, so that the or
gan voluntaries, the singing, the reading
and the sermon were clearly transmitted.
Sixteen " Tres ire 'cC injected with single
church, and the preacher was satisfactorily
heard in as many different places. The
success of this experiment has already
been such that wires are being laid to the
homes of subscribers in various adjoining
English towns, who viii thus be able to
participate III religious worship at a dis
tance. The success of this experiment
will undoubtedly cause its repetition in all
parts of England, and it will be great
boon to all who are debarred from Joining
In Christian worship with their bodily
presence.
But, while it viii work for the convent
ence Of those who suffer from inability to
attend church, it will also work for the
convenience of those who like good ex-
cuse for not being present at the center of
worship, The head of household can
listen at the telephone receiver, and be-
come the agent Of The different members of
the family, giving in substance what comes
to him in detail, so that in this busy age
the different members Of the household can
keep up their engagements and still have
the credit of attending worship, ii not its
full enjoyment. Then, again, with so good
an excuse for not attending public worship,
1t is likely there will be a falling off where
these telephone arrangements are provided.
Who would care to go to the trouble of
attending church ON a rainy morning when
he could have the full benefit of the serv-
vice by sitting at home and listening to
what his telephone reports? To carry the
point further, the question NAV be asked
why public worship could no be dispensed
with, the minister preaching his sermon IN
his own study and the choir performing in
an adjoining room? This would greatly
decrease church expenses and would con-
duce largely to the comfort of individual
parishioners.

cred around.

witness, The Marshal was paid by him to
assas sinale Judge Terry"

70 DO anything other than slap Judge Field,
She neser allow ed her husband to carry a pistol
or knife for fear he might get into trouble.
She always took his arms and carried them.
Mrs. Terry said that for several days people had
been asking when Judge Terry was going to san
Francisco, ana she suspected some job was be
ing put up to murder him. She said herself
and husband intended starting for San Fran
cisco day earlier, but waited a day in order to
avoid meeting Judge lie on the train, as they
were informed ne would be travelling to san
Francisco on Tuesday.
Mrs Terry then inveighed bitterly against
Justice Field, denouncing him in strong terms.

siderable excitement in stockton. aud public

better of the agent. As a certain sum of
money was apportioned TO each man,
woman and child, the father of family
tried TO make the number in his lodge as

Eight sticks are added to the heap.
