CoLoRED PREACHER SHOT.

From Rev. Stephen Duncan, pre-
siding elder of this, III. Il. church
(colored) district, we learn that on
Saturday morning last, Rev. IL. 0.
Williams, pastor Of Shady Grove
church, about 8 miles from Mansfield,
was shot and dangerously wounded
by one Friday Cate, colored youth
about 20 years of age. Rev. VIII
liams is said to be an extremely con-
scientious, clean and firm pastor, who
kept the standard of his congregation
lifted on the high plane of Christian
morality, and Is very popular with his
presiding elder and the conference.
The ouly reason that can be as
signed for the deed is that Rev. Will
liams had ',een forced to expel both
Friday Cato and his brother for gross
immoral conduct.
The wounded man is exceedigly
popular with the white people OF the
neighborhood, and all classes who es-
TEEN religion and morality.
The shot, which was said to have
been a mimic ball, DR.. Walker says
broke or fractured the spinal column.
The feeling against the wouid-be
murderer is said to be intense
and if the murdered man dies,
as is now thought to be ex-
ceedingly probable, it will go hard
with him on the final trial.

play craps. I mention these things en-
passant, dear Smith, not because there
has been any infraction of this particular
law. but only to prove that the Times is
ght and TIE PRoGRtSs 8 wrong.
At any rate, if crap shooting is INDUCED
in l am certain the police aIe Lot aware
of 1t. as they have never been accused of
going into public places, aud besides, they
do not thuk it any of their business TO
meddle with such small matters. Crap
shooting is a SengaDbian game, and il is
considered b-ueath the dignity Of any
high-ioned officer who respects his badge
aud baton to disturb a sociabie and pleas
ant game of craps. Do YOU think any
policeman could do il and hold his job?
But for any one to say or insInuate
that the Sunday law is fiagraltly viOlat-
ed aud that crap shooting is carried on
Within the hearing and seeing of the po-
lic- is gross and objectionable slapder,
for 10 is a well known fact that no well
Disciplined policeman ever goes into Il
saloon, even to keep ont of The weather.
Now, dear Smith, You see the point.
Will you please set le il! IL you can't get
your answer published in either the
III -nes or THE PRosRSss, hand it to Pink
Hyams. He will give il circulation. It
will be better than posting. iG OIL the

THE LAW AGAINST CRAP-sHooT-

As warning to those who may be
Ignorant of the subject, The PROG
REss gives below ali exact copy Of the
latest enactment directed against
that species of gambling known a.
crap shooting:
Section L. Be it enacted by the
Genera! Assembly of the State Of
Louisiana, That whoever shall en-
gage in the gambling game Of craps
for money, or any representative of
money, or any other consideration
whatever, shall upon conviction
thereof be fined in sum of not less
than ten dollars nor more than one
hundred dollars, or imprisonment
for not more than ninety days.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, etc,
That any owner, lessee or proprietor
of any building who shall permit ill
or about the same, or on the premi-
ses connected Herewith, the playing
of the game of craps, shall upon COT
viction be fined not less than one
hundred dollars, nor more than five
hundred dollars, or imprisoned for
not less than thirty days nor more
than ninety days, or both, at the dis
cretion of the court"
Thusly reads act No. 7 of the acts
of 1892.
1t will be seen therein that the law
OF 1886 has been changed, now max
ing it CRIME to play anywhere i'll
stead OF, as in the former law, only
in public view. It will be noticed
further that the owner or lessee of
the building which permits crap
shooting in its enclosure, commits u
graver crime and is assessed heavier
ON conviction.

A LUXURIOUS sINECURE.

The mayors salary is vastly too
much. Tnis Off ,e is a veritable sin
cure which our taxpayers are not
able to pay. IKE salary should be
reduced and immediate steps should
be taken TO have the city charter
amended in order that this beneficial
change can be effected. If we under
stand the matter correctly, this
amendment can be secured by two
thirds vote Of the taxpayers and prop
erty valuation cast for that purpose.
Surely then we should not longer
hesitate about mat, or so important
In The extremity of the case, Mayor
Vinson must be too good citizen to
oppose such q move himself. In
fact he could place himself on record
by taking the initiatory move in th.
matter. He is bound to realize that
this Office pays salary vastly too
great for the services rendered, and
for that reason, as q patriotic citizen
he will doubtless be found, as a may
or should be, in the lead of all mat
ters which will rebound to the citys
improvement aud strengthen her
financial condition.
Who will lead of in this line, will
you MIR. Mayori
