Judge Robertson has rendered an i'm
portant decision in the injunction case
of the Roanoke Street Railway Com
pany.
Dr. liodson and others owning prop

Joined the railway company from laying
its tracks along the side of the street in
front of their property.
After hearing the case argued at
length by both sides the Judge rendered
an elaborate decision in the case. saving
the charter of the Street Railway Com
pany gives them power to erect poles for
use OF electric motor power. and that
whether the tracks shall be laid on the
side or center of the streets is a matter
entirely within the jurisdiction of the
City Council. The court decided fur
Their, that damages may be recovered
whore the value of property is deprcci-
atcd by the construction of the street
railway.
The judge thought that some of TIE
lines proposed to be constructed bv the
street Railway Company would iniurc

Crime Hanged From

He Confessed the Crime, and
a Trial Was Considered
Unnecessary.
Seventeen Carloads Of Beef
Cattle Suddenly Converted
Into Hash.
Vigilantes in Pursuit Of the
Slayer Of a Missouri 0e-
togenarian.

LEXINGTON, Mo-, Aug. 29.-An afro
cious murder. the escape of the MUIR
derer, hi arrest, confession of the
crime and subsequent lynching. These
are the elements of double tragedy
that was enacted at Mayview, ten miles
south of here, to-day. Sheriff Mitchell
received a telegram from Mayview this
morning stating that ii. F. Parker, a
merchant of that place. had been MUIR
dered. The sheriff and two deputies
started for the scene of the crime. Upon
their arrival they went directly to Par
ker's store, where chastity sight met
their gaze. In pool of blood, be-
hind the counter on the floor.
with the head nearly severed
from the body, lay the body
of the dead man. The motive for the
crime was most likely money, for the
cash drawer was rifled and an examina-
tion of the clothes of Parker, who was a
widower and slept in room back Of the
store, showed that the pockets had been
turned inside out. Forty dollars in cash
and gold watch was found which
would suggest that the murderer was
frightened away before his object was
accomplished. Parker's mother lives
in Sharon, Pa, and has been informed
by telegraph of the crime. DIR. Nc
Donald arrived from Mayview this even
ing and stated that negro named
William Walters had been arrested by
Constable Thomas Chinn, for the mur-
der of Parker, had confessed his crime
and was hanged from the branch of
tree by mob.

LIKE THE MARsUPIAL SYSTEM
Mississipians Evolve New Plan
of Suffrage.

JACKSON. Miss. Aug. 20.-The work
of the committee On elective franchise
was completed to-day. The plan of
suffrage as agreed upon embraces the
modification of the Australian ballot
system known as the Dortch law; a
residence of two years in the state and
one in the voting precinct; the
prepayment of poll tax of
50 and qualified woman suffrage
based upon the possession by
her or her husband, if married, of real
property to the value of $500. The
property qualification was abagdOned
and an educational qualification pro-
