ment of the Gazette that a SEN
sstion at the New St. Charles hotel
was so devoid of decency that they would
not handle it, was rather a newspaper
sensation Of itself and but increased the
public curiosity to learn the particulars.
Such course is to be commended when
guilty parties get their deserts by due
process of law; but when, as at present,
newspaper notoriety seems to be the
only fear known to the evil minded then
such men as Kent Kane, formerly an
under clerk in the Farmers Exchange
bank of this city, should be given the
full benefit of being known as they are.
Under the plea of desiring very quiet
retreat for lady friend whom he said
was witness in the Maria Martinez
case, he secured private room in the
New st. Charles hotel, that her testi-
mony might be taken there and save his
friend the embarrassment of appearing
in court, Mr.. Urban, proprietor, re-
luctantly consented on the condition
that Kane should not visit the lady in
her room. That was on Wednesday
last. Yesterday morning at ! O'Clock
Mr.. Urban concluded to put an end to
what he was convinced was trespass
upon his kindness, and with the night
clerk he demanded an entrance to the
room. The result was guilty pair was
obliged to pay up and take an early
morning walk. Since the matter was
made public the young man has left the
town, thereby escaping from the dis
grace such an act deserves. His family.
who are numbered among the socially
prominent ones of the city, feel the
situation keenly.
Prof. Frye, city superintendent of pub
lie schools, gathered his teachers in
council yesterday afternoon to better
prepare for the opening of the schools
next Monday.
A few days ago DR.. Heating was de-
clared innocent of the charges preferred
against him, and now three others have
passed through the suspense of trial
and are set free, there not being euffi-
cient evidence to warrant their further
confinement. Such was the decision
Friday in the case of Langford, Cahart
and Nihell, who were arrested on eus-
picion of being connected with the MUIR
der of Marie Martinez. All of the testi-
mony OF the defense went to prove an
alibi, and the district attorney an
nounced that while he still believed it
was case of murder, and not suicide,
there was insufficient evidence to con-
tinue the trial, and as the justice coin
cided with him, the case was dismissed.
The new electric light company are
erecting fine poles throughout the city
and have large force of men at work
upon their new power house. An effort
is being made by the company holding
the present contract to have the new
contract decided illegal on account of
the manner OF asking for bids, but as yet
without success.

Milo Wood returned from the north
ern part of the state on Thursday, and /
speaks highly of his week of pleasure. I
He spent one day at the state fair, but
for him there were other pleasures yet
fairer and more enjoyable.
A happy company of people gathered |
at the First M. E. church last evening
to enjoy social conversation over ice-
cream and cake, and there pass the few
hours given to the last social occasion of |
the conference year. They were joyous,
not because there was prospect of so
soon losing their favorite pastor, Rev.
G.. W. White, but rather that for awhile |
longer, at least, they could rejoice in
having the presence of Mr.. and Mrs.
White with them.
