Dumped silver Into the Gutter.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Over Sc, 900
worth OF silver bullion was lying in
the gutter in front OF Broadway no.
tel last night. Finally it was picked
from the street by porter OF that es-
adjustment and put in place of safe
ty. The owner of the silver weighs
considerable over two hundred pounds
and his name is Phillips. He halls
from Montana and is said to own the
big silver mine that produced the sill
yer bullion. Mr. Phillips hired a cab
and started out to visit the bar-rooms
of the Broadway hotels. He wanted
to fnd out who sold the best liquor.
He lugged the four silver bars worth
about 81, 800 each in there and began
his sampling expedition at Forty-sec-
ond street and worked down to Four
teenth street where he has been lost
sight of. Every time he left the cab
to so into hotels he would first take
the silver bars from the cab and place
them lengthwise with each other in the
quit er. Cabby tried to have Phillips
allow the silver to remain in the cab,
but he insisted that the precious metal
would be safer in the gutter than in
the cab. After repeating this expert
mont in front of the different Broad
way hotels at which he stopped for
refreshments, he reached the Hoffman
house and again put the silver in the
gutter while he visited the bar. Phil
lips had been guest at this hotel and
the porter felt it incumbent upon him
to remove the silver from the street to
the hotel and have it locked up. He
did so, and Phillips, after protesting
proceeded to visit other Broadway
bnta1s

When you feel n kind Of goneness
about the stomach it is a sign that your
food does not sit well and that you are
about to have a fit of indigestion.
When you begin TO feel nervous and
are unable to SIT still comfortably; when
your clothes suddenly seem to lose their
fit and become too tight in places the fit
OF indigestion is surely upon YOU.
When this fit OF Indigestion is repeated
from day to day it finely resolves itself
into dyspepsia.
Chronic dyspepsia will surely make the
happiest lite a hell upon earth.
Remember that three TO ten OF Bran
dreth's Pills will cure the worst case Of
indigestion or dyspepsia. or both. and
that a regular course of them, say two
every night for a week or ten days will act
as a preventive OF either compliant.

Never were words more ftly pnt together
than these made by Chief justice Peter FUR
ney, of Tennessee. in delivering an opinion on
case:
Technicalities should never be employed
as shields for wrong, but only for the protec.
ton of merit. When they present themselves
as barriers to justice, courts should without
hesitation cut through them to the right that
ends and the purpose Of eqnity and good con.
science may be attained and served"
These words have been copied and com.
rnended ON by the press of Tennessee, and
should find repetition in every paper in the
country. The Appeal.Avalanche in referring
to them, says:
II the courts generally shall heed the
words of the ehiefjustice, the cause OF justice
shall be greatly promoted; aud the people viii
nal courts, technicalities have become the
refuge of the guilty to such degree that
criminals who are able to employ counsel
skilled in technical construction generally find
il possible to evade the laws wrath, This is
particularly true in murder cases, for it seems
to be getting more difficult to punish those
who take human life. When courts act as
Chief Justice Turney advises, the poor will
have more confidence in them as temples of
absolute justice, in which the cause of the
worthy cannot be affected by litigation un.
duly protracted. 'Techniealities should
never be employed as shields for wrongs. but
only for the protection of meritl' Into that
sentence the learned chief justice puts the
whole essence of the law. 1t is phrase that
will live after him and stand to his great
credit 1t should be put in glowing letters in
/ every form of court procedure
/ The Houston Post, in referring to the mat.
/ Ter, recognizes the fact that too many muir
] derers are turned loose on teehnicalities

Valery Willingham, Simond Richard
and Simon Robin, all whife men, with
having armed with clubs and other
dangerous weapons, unlawfully assem-

About dark of the same evening
Sheriff Fontenot arrived with all of the
accused in his custody. Counsel for
the accused immediately made applca-
ton for bail, and about eleven o'clock
that night all of the prisoners were re-
leased on bond.
The facts of the case these: There
is colored Baptist church near Leon
villo. 1t seems that they were little
too noisy at night, whereupon few of
the inhabitants notified them not to
carry on after certain hours of the
night. Hence the arrests.
Bonds were fixed at $3.50 for appear
ance at court, and also to keep the
peace for twelve mouths.
