ly decorated, while neatly and artistic
ally arranged upon various tables eX-
tending around the entire double par
lors were useful and ornamental articles
Of every description. Many OF them
were made by the young ladies connect
ed with the various religious organiza-

Mrs. Vance, herself, outlined many OF

HOLSTERS BECOME BUCKEYES
without the Formally of aioving-A Sur
veyor's Instrument Makes the Change.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, December 1.-The
report of Prof T. Mendenhall, chief Of the
United States Geodetic and Coast Survey,
concerning the Ohio and Indiana boun-
Diary line, was made to Governor Chase
this morning.
1t is a duplicate Of that made to Gov
ernor Campbell at Columbus yesterday.
Ohio has disputed the correctness Of the
Indiana line, claiming that it was too far
east at the northern extremity. The sur
vey of Prof. Mendenhall aud assistants
show that it is one mile east Of its proper
place at that point and converging 70 the
proper point at the southern extremity.
This would give Ohio nearly one hundred
square miles of Indiana Territory.

E. Barr, proprietor Of the Hotel Warwick,
shot and killed his wife some time last
night and then killed himself.
Both appear to have died instantly.
When they were married the wife had con-
siderable money and as he was supposed to
be not doing very we'll in the hotel bust
ness, and as they were reported TO have
had frequent rows because she refused to
furnish him money, it is supposed the muir
der was caused by her refusing TO comply
with his request for funds. Barr has had
the reputation of being fest man.

THE ROANOKE AND SOUTHERN.

Chief Engineer OnderdonE Here Looking
After the Work.
Major A. Onderdonl, chief engineer
of the Roanoke and Southern railroad,
arrived here yesterday to look after the
work at this end OF the line. Nearly all
the work of grading is done through the
city to the river. The most difficult
piece OF work that remains to be done
Is cutting through heavy ledge of rock
near the big cut back of Z. l.. Terrys
residence. The close proximity of the
houses there may prevent blasting.
If it can be arranged for the rock to
be blasted this difficulty will soon be
overcome, but If it becomes necessary
to cut through the rock the work may
be delayed several days.
There is also somo changes to be
made in the plans for the depot build
1ngs that are to he erected here. AS
soon as the plans are definitely decided
upon the work of erection will be COM
menced.
Major Onderdonk is hero to look after
these matters and will arrange them
satisfactorily without delay.

the gang is that the hole drilled into
the rock struck mud seam, which

Tho Lottery Case.


Commenting on the postponement of
tho lottery case the New York World
says:
THE Supreme court has postponed the
hearing until autumn in order that the
case may be determined by a full bench
but the briefs are in, and careful read
ing of them is not very reassuring to
those who desire to see some effective
restraint placed upon this legalized
gambling. The argument of the lottery
lawyers upon the constitutional cues
tions involved is very strong; that of
Assistant Attorney General Maury for
the Government seems much weaker
than n really capable Attorney General
would have made it. If the law lies
with the right in the case we must de-
pend upon the court to discover the fact
without much help from the Attorney
Generals Office as at present Manned"
This is scarcely just to the attorney
generals Office. Mr.. Maury has made
the best case that was possible for the
government in this controve rsy, and
has, presumably, acted in full harmony
with Attorney General Miller, who has
been prevented by illness from prepar-
ing the brief in person. The trouble is
that the government has not much of a
case on tho face of the papers The
Company challenges before the SUI
preme Court can be defended only on
the ground of moral expediency. I'm
doubtedly 1T is, as an abstract PROPOSE
ton, an invasion of the liberty of the
press and an infringement of personal
rights. Theoretically, if congress may
deny the use of the mails to newspapers
containing lottery advertisements, it
may with equal propriety take similar
action in the case of liquor advertise
ments. playing card advertisements,
bucket-shop advertisements, or any
other which the party in the ma
jority at the moment may choose to re-
gard as immoral and pernicious. There
is, indeed no end to the mischief and
oppression to which such principle,
once established. may not lead. 1t is
but natural, therefore, that the Consti-
tuition should rcpudiatc it in a general
way, and that it should be destitute OF
support in precedent. We can readily
see that the Attorney-General's office
may have found it impossible to defend
the law on any but moral, and, to GER
tain extent, sentimental grounds. AS
we sec it, tho question is not whether
the Government can find any defense in
laws already existent, but whether the
Supreme Court WILL in view of the
gravity of the case, originate n law to
lit this particular emergency. The
structures on Mr.. Maury strike us as un-
just He has no case and he virtually
cOnfesSeS as much. What his brief
means is that the Supreme Court should
make case for him.-Washingto Cd.

The New York World comments on
the above as follows:
Why did not the Attorney General
then discover the limitations of power
and see that tho bill was so framed as to
be constitutional? The World urgently
pointed out tho necessity for such
caution at tho time, and the reply uni
formly was that the Attorney Generals
office had thoroughly considered that
matter. How comes it, then, that the
moment the law is questioned the best
the Acknowledgement can do is to con-
fess that he has no case and pray the
court "to make case for him?"
