by a decision which it rendered
yesterday, a man who was not

votes; Boyd, Democrat, 1881;
Powers, Independent, 70,ls7,

Yet the Court holds that Thayer,

DURHAM RECORDER.
WEDNESDAY May Is, 1891.
The mi. Carry.

Durham came up slow on the
approval of the S25,ooo bonds
for the building Of a graded
school house. 1t seems to have
been reluctantly done yet it
was done.
Four hundred and nine votes
were cast favoring the measure,
thereby making q majority Of
thirty EIGHT Of the qualified
voters of the town. In elections
of this kind the town commits
sioners are empowered with the
authority to purge the registra'
ton books, either before or at
ter the election. Having done
this they find that the total
number Of persons entitled Y
vote is seven hundred and eiglt'
ty.
We think that some Of oui
people have become q little con
fused on this subject, from tht
fact that the recent call for |
prohibition election, was requlr
ed to be made upon a petition Q
one-third Of all the names ap
pearing on the registration
books, whether they were quail
fled to vote or not; and this is
special law and does not appl,
to the general law governing
elections.
We trust that allof our pee
pie will accept the result grace

preiudices they may have ha

provide a comfortable building
for the children of our town
where they may have better ad

established in Durham, and ]
seems reasonable that it shoul'
be provided for and placed o.
the best footing possible.

The Question of Its Denomination to Be

MOUNT HOLLY. Jan 3, 1s91.-The Union
Sunday School, at Unionville, is pas sing
through crisis that will probably cause
about one-half the scholars to leave, ow-
ing TO the giving of Christmas present
to Mount Holly minister. the funds for
which were ordered to be taken from the
treasury.
1t appears that several years ago Miss
Mary Halsey, Presbyterian, secured
funds from all denominations for the pur
pose of buying the ground and erecting
a Union Sunday School. The school
prospered for some time and finally fell
under the control of the Baptisus,
until now all its officers are Bap-
lists, but many OF the scholars belong TO
other denominations, and they were op-
posed 10 drawing upon the treasury for
the present, but did not object to con-
tribution. They were willing. however,
to take the school money if all the minis
ters were given presents. This action
reused the ire of the BaptisLs, who claimed
full control of the school.
The question: SIS this a Baptist or a
Union Sunday School s' will be decided
at a meeting of the school on Sunday.
Miss Halsey proposes TO turn the prop
erty over TO three trustees for their OWE
action, and names Jervis 5. Zelley,
Charles Fort and Mrs. Thomas Fish.
There is the Iiveliest kind of interest over
the matter.
The trouble in the school began three

HALLORAN'S DEATH.
No One Seems to Know Just
Where He Got the
Whiskey From.

All dav yesterday the body Of nine-year
old Jimmie Halloran, whose death was
caused by too much liquor. lay in the
dingy bedroom In which ne had breathed
his last. at No. 222 First street, Hoboken.
The mother, who is a widow, was IN
able to procure a coffin for the remains.
All day long she moaned and cried, and
people in the vicinity say that seldom
have they witnessed more touching
scene. made some inquiries last night.
with view to finding who it was that
gave the little fellow the liquor that
caused his death. The police seem TO be
unusually apathetic. and as far as can be
learned the Coroner has not made an In
vestigation at all.
II appears that the deceased, with
George ana Eddie Mcclure and Johnny
Reilly. Of No 46 Monroe street, ali about
the same same age. started out calling at
about ten o'clock in the morning OF New
Years Day. They called at three places;
just where IL IS not known. Then Hal
loran brought his companions back TO bis
house. His mother and sister were out.
but he got in some way. He had a bottle
Of whiskey and drank great deal
Of 1t. All the boys then went around at
Halloran's invitation to call on bis
married sister. Mrs. kerrigan. Mrs.
Kerrigan said asst night that she saw the
boys were under the influence of liquor
and that she aid not give them anything
but told them to take Jimmie Halloran.
who was the worst off of the lot. home.
The boys left saying that they would do
so.
The little fellow was next seen by some
neighbors of Mrs. Halloran's staggering
through Jackson street. They were all
drunk and went up into Halioran's house
again. Sarah Halloran, the twelye-year
old sister of Jimmie, was home when the
boys came in. After a short time Eddie
McGutre aud young Reilly left aud went
home. Halloran lay down on the bed
and Mcclure fell on the floor and was
soon fast asleep. Several hours later
McGuire awoke ana went out without
looking at his companion. Some time
after that young Halloran was found
dead by his sister.
The Mcclure boys told me last night
that the bottle of liquor which Halloran
drank was given to him by the saloon
keeper who owns the saloon be-
meath the apartments in which
they lived. The boys said that be
gave it to him as a New Years present.
The Italians name is d. Ferdinando. He
is a swarthy fellow. He denied most
strenuously that he had given young
Halloran any whiskey either for himself
or his mother. He admitted, however,
that he had sent up bottle of red wine
TO Mrs Halloran Gu Wednesday.
