THE LAWS DELAY.
The Case Against Haines for Kili-
ing Hannegan at Fortress
Monroe.
Ry The United Press.

NORFOLK, Va, July 1.-THE
case OF Thornton j. Haines, for the
killing Of Ed Hannegan at Fortress
Monroe recently, was called yester-
day for trial at Hampton. Able
counsel appeared for both sides.
The counsel for the defense began
by making a motion for a continu-
ance of the case on account Of the
prisoners i'll health. After great
deal of wrangling the Judge over
ruled this motion. Counsel for the
defense then asked for a postpone
ment, which was denied, and after
the calling of the names of
several Of the witnesses, and
the taking of some unimportant
testimony, a recess was taken until
3 O'Clock. After recess, counsel for
Haines presented an affidavit claim
ing that many important witnesses
for their side were unable to be
present. The Sheriff was then put
on the stand and testified that he
had subpened the witnesses, but
was unable to account for their nom
appearance. Private Richardson
who is the strongest witness for
Haines did not appear. He was
detained on duty but is expected in
court tomorrow. It is claimed that
Richardson saw Hannegan in the
boat at the time of the shooting
with an uplifted oar about to strike
Haines. After good deal Of quar-
reling on both sides without getting
anything done, court adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing in order to secure the witnesses
who failed to appear to-day.

Gyphenated rostofRce Names.

Some of the residents on the shores of
the Hudson seem to be especially FESTIVE
under the humiliation of being compelled
to live in places bearing such common
place and mere American names as Irving
ton, Yonkers, Tarrytown, Poughkeepsie,
Newburg, etc, and insist en- heading their
note and letter paper with their hyphen-
lied ideas of what their postoffice addresses
ought to be-as "Tarrytown-on-the-Hu d-
son." and similar deviations from the
actual names of their postof1ices
There was doubtless good reason in Eng
land for such names bestowed in pre-post-
office times as Weston under Lizard, Mid
dleton-on-th Walds, Stoke-by Maryland and
like compounds, needful to distinguish
them from numerous other Westons, Mid
dletons and StokeseS, but in this country,
where there are no two postoffices of the
same name name in any state, such link
ing on of useless addenda is simply one of
those freaks of fatuous folly
The practice is a vexation. to postoffice
clerks, and often leads to the missending of
letters; and this fact is doubtless the rea-
son for the admonition which appears in
The New York Postoffice Guide" under
the head of Suggestions to the Public"
"Fanciful additions should not be made
to the names of postofices, IS they are apt
to mislead and confuse asserting clerks,
and so cause errors. For example, 'Patta-
gumpus, Me- should not be extended to
Pattagumpus-on the Penobscot" - New

She Bore Up Well.

An elderly and rather stout lady was not
long since riding in train which was just
approaching the Forth bridge. She was
evidently unaccustomed TO travelling, and
her constant fire of remarks to whoever
would listen afforded not little amuse-
ment TO those within hearing. The old
lady WAS nervous about the bridge, of
which she had seen pictures, and which she
had made up her mind was not fully to be
trusted. She kept inquiring when the train
would come to it. At last she was told that
the bridge in question was at hand
well" the old lady said with pathos, 81
don't know whether we shall get over alive
or not, but if we don't it shall not be my
fault"
She settled into the corner of the seat
with determined air and puckered up
mouth, which were only less droll than the
general air OF responsibility which brooded
over her. During the passage of the bridge
she could not be persuaded to say a word,
but seemed to be holding her breath.
There" a gentleman in a neighboring
seat said, 1--WE are over it safe"
The old woman heaved an explosive
sigh.
WELL" she said, 'if we had gone to the
bottom I should have died with q clear
conscience, for it wouldn't have been my
weight that did it. 1 bore up so that l
know really made the train lighter than
II would have been without me"-Lopdon

BOOMING PRICES IN WHEAT,
Heavy Trading and High Figures on the
Produce Exchange.

The advance in the price of wheat and
the boom i'll speculation on the produce OK
change, which has been going ON for
several days, was accumulated yesterday.
There Were lively times about the
wheat pit, caused by very heavy option
trading amid much excitement. 1t was a
great bull market, and May wheat was
boosted up to Sl.26 bushel, point which
ii has not touched since the great wheat
corner which Jim keene engineered eight
or nine years ago.
The transactions yesterday We're very
heavy, aggregating 22.S00,000 bushels.
There were no failures reported during the
day, but nobody will feel quite sure until
this morning that all the traders on the
short side have been able to come TO time
with the heavy margins which have been
called within few days past.
The market opened with an upward ten
.er " Of quotations which drove the shorts

scenes in New York repeated on the Board
of Trade there and cable dispatches from
Europe showed the English and French
markets to be stronger and higher.
May deliveries were the fayOrite options
in the early dealings III wheat, although
August and December led later on. May
opened in a wild and excited rush, with
the first sales made simultaneously at from
81 % to Sl.23 all around the pit, against
S12l$5 at Saturdays close. The figures
went on and up until Sl.25 was reached, the
highest price for years.
Representatives Of foreign houses were
said to be buying freely. This fact, to-
gether with the continued strength of the
foreign cables and the reports of great dam

especially in France, pointing TO Il largely
increased demand from this country, helped
to brighten the shorts and swell the general

THEY WERE OPEN.
THE SALOONS CLOSED ONLY
BETWEEN 9 AND a O'CLOCK.
The Proprietors Consider the New Charter
Gives Them the Right to Open
at Other Hours.

Sunday morning at u o'clock the saloons
in Fort Worth at least, majority of
them, did not close, as has been
the custom, but remained open selling
liquor and cigars until 8 a. II.
when they closed their doors and nothing
could be bought. They remained closed
until O'Clock in the afternoon, when the
on as usual. This action is the result
of what is claimed to be q change
in the city charter passed recently by the
legislature and signed by Governor Hogg.
A clause giving the city council the right
TO regulate saloons was stricken out of
the charter by Senator Carter on the petit
ton of 2000 people of Fort Worth, but a
clause in the section defining the powers
of the city court gives that tri-
bunal exclusive Jurisdiction over saloons
up to 8 o'clock Sunday morning,
and after o'clock Sunday afternoon. This
being the case, it is held that the county
cannot interfere, and the city evidently
desiring 20 enact 9 to o'clock
law shown by the clause Civ
ing the council the power 20
regulate, will not do anything to stop the
Assistant City Attorney Jackson was asked
il regard to the matter yesterday
and said the mayor and the mar
shal might institute proceedings, but
he saw no authority lodged elsewhere to do
so. Senator Carter takes the position that
the charter as passed gives no right to open
saloons at any time other than that granted
by the state law.
The real reason for the desire of the city
council to have power to regulate the hours
of saloons was that saloons in Dallas under
the ordinances of that city could sell all day
but between the hours of 8 and +.
1t was said that open saloons
in Dallas and Theoretically sealed
saloons in Fort Worth caused a regular
Sunday exodus from this city of those who
desired TO drink, and that this took money
from Fort Worth which went to
the upbuilding Of our sister city. If
there was any power vested in Dallas to
permit open saloons Fort Worth wished 10
have the same power.
Something will probably be done in re
gard to the matter by those who oppose
selling on Sunday.

Early Medical Educn1ion

In a certain country part of Russia the
art Of medicine was not much advanced
twenty-five years ago. At that time the
son of the local doctor, who had spent a
winter in st. Petersburg, asked his father
for means to go take q course of study at
Paris. If the truth must be told, he was
more anxious to see the charms of the gay
city than to secure a physicians diploma.
Nonsense" said the old man sternly,
81 never graduated, and yet l do fairly,
well. Follow my practice and advice and
let Paris go"
The lad sighed at this rude dispelling of
his dreams.
All that is necessary" resumed the
parent, lis to look thoughtful. and when
you are called in to attend case feel the
patients pulse with grave air and mean
while throw your eyes at the kitchen
hearth. As rule you will see there lot
of swept up turnip peel, end of cucumber,
cabbage stalk or something of that kind
Having noted this, tell the patient he has
been guilty of eating such saings. He'll
wonder how you could know It. Prescribe
some hot drink or other, tell him TO be
careful of his diet collect your fee and de-
part. I've saved thousands by just such
means.
The student took the lesson to heart, and
when his father died fell into the practice.
Fer a long time the parental rule worked
without fail, and ON one occasion being
called to attend fever case, he was equal
ly astonished and embarrassed at seeing
the hearth swept quite clean.
He must, however, find something on
which to base his treatment. So noting an
empty halter and set of harness lying by
the CRATE generally used by the only sort
of steed the family possessed, and taking
heart at hope he charged the patient &C
cordingly.
The trouble with you is you've gone
and eaten donkeyr'
"Whatp yelled the patient; donkey!
Get out of this house instantly or I'll real
ly make your word good by eating you''
And jumping up he so belabored the m
fortunate physician that the exercise broke
the fever and wrought quick and perfect
cure.-Philadelphia Times. ..,.s.sss..e.
