ENTICING LABORERS.
The ore Repeated Trial Of an Inter
eStimg Case...Farnlcrs Might Catch

a Hint.
Trial Justice r. F.. Cox Of this village had
an interesting case before him last Saturday.
One man indicted another for enticing
away labUrer.
IL appeared from the evidence rs we under.
stand IL thai the defendant had employed Il
laborer, without knowing that he was already
under contract, and sent his agent with Il waS-
on LO the fail of the plaintiff for the purpose
of removing the goods OF the laborer.
The plaintiif protested against the removal,
alleging that he objected on the ground that
the negro was under contract with him, and
that he had advanced money TO the laDorer
The plaintiff told the agent, however, II The
| principal for whom he was acting would re-
fund the money that the lahorer might go
| with him.
The agent then said that the principal
would pay the money, and the laborer was
| taken away.
| Demand being made upon the defendant for
| the money which his agent had promised, he
| refused TO pay.
The plaintin then sued the defendant for
cntcng away his laborer.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Upon trial the question involved was:
! Was the principal bound by the unauthor-
| lied act of his agent? 9,
| If so, should the suit be brought Tor The
amount SO promised. rs in the case of an or
dinary debt or should q criminal prosecution
| be issued for the unlawful act.
The jury took the view that the principal,
was not bound for the promised money, but
held that the principal was bound for The un-
lawful act and subject to the results for entic-
| ing away Il laborrr. That the promise TO re-
! lease The labOrer on condition OF the payment
! of money, did not in fact release the laborer
until the money was paid-payment being re-
| fused the indictment held good. and the jury
rendered their vrrd let accordingly.
The Trial Justice held TO the other & view,
actly aS any other debt, and that no acton
| Tor criminal action could stand. He over
ru led The verdict, and granted new trial. -.

The Cotton Plant has an editorial which, VIC
think, contains threat to bolt the Democrat
ic ticket at Chicago in case the National Dem
ocratic Convention refuses to adopt the Ocala
platform. We are not authorized to speak
for anybody, but we venture to suggest that
there will be one delegate from South Caro-
lima who will not bolt or 20 into the Third
party, and that delegate is Mr.. l. H. McCalla,
OF Abbeville county. We don't think Cover
nor Tilman or Senator lrby will bolt. We
have had nothing upon which to base an
opinion as TO the other delegates, but we can't
think many would bolt with MIR. Stokes.

Prohibition in Augusta.

We are real glad of the agitation OF this
subject in Augusta at this time, as it will give
the Chronicle something TO do.
Although the campaign has just com
menced the Chronicle has already begun tc
call names.
We do not know how it is in Augusta. bu
up this way there are some very good mer
and some very respectable women who favor
prohibition. In fact, it seems that the prohi
btionISts will average up TO the standard o.
the average anti. We believe pro
hibitionst may be as honest as the anti-pro
hibitionist, and we think it the essence o
presumption for the antls to pretend to sneei
at the prohibitionists and call names.

THE KITCHEN WASTE.
Should not be Pitched out of the
Window. but Should be Put at the
Roofs of Trees.

Yes, it Is nasty habit of pitching out OF
the back door pailful and dipperful. now
and then, OF greasy water, and q handful par
ingS and the greater waste Of the kitchen
that breeds fever and bilious diseases. The
waste disappears for the most part in the sol
and that IS the key TO the mischief. The soil
gels full after time and evaporates and The
hot sun breeds gases that float round and en-
ter the house. This is true not only OF the
cheaper, poorer houses and careless fam lies
but well-to-do, intelligent people have spots
behind their houses saturated with SlopS In
populouS towns no amount of supervision can
prevent great deaf Of filthy evil. But in the
country towns SlopS should be carried out Ia
trees and poured in small quantities here and
there as fertilizer. Trees Will take upu barge
quantity of water and be grateful for IT,
There must be simply constant intelligence in
the disposal OF waste.

We Sill Stand on the Old Platform

So fur South Carolina is the only State that
has been able TO Incorporate into its platform
all the demands of the Alliance. IL has done
Il good work.--CottOn Plant.
That Is a mistake. The convention of the
18th instant, met for the specific purpose OF
eecting delegates to the National Convention.
Upder the party constitution 1t had no power
to do any other binding act. The convention
recognized that inability by passing rcsolu-
lions, which show opinion perhaps rs well as
Il platform, but which are not u platform.
The August convention will formulate a plat
form, which will probably incorporate the
Ocala demands, but until that Is done the
party stands OH the platform OF lSM.--Barn-
well People.

this delay on reaching the city. left the train
Ballard ana came in by electric car. The Ballard
board of health met last evening and decided to
cooperate with the Seattle health officers In
preventing any such evasion OF the quarantine
regulations in future
DR.. Sparkling vaccinated sixteen passengers
who came in on the Northern Pacific trains. but
found that none of those on the Lake shore
trains needed the operation. He vaccinated
thirty-ive passengers on the steamer Premier
from down Sound.
Mayor Ronald last night received q dispatch
from Mayor Beaver, of Victoria, protesting
against the quarantine against that port 1t
reads as follows:
If you realized the true condition of affairs
here you would not think of quarsntining this
port All smallpox cases have been quaran-
tined or removed to hospital two miles from
Government street or to the quarantine station,
eight miles distant. We take every precautiou
to prevent spread of infection persons liable
TO injection leaving by steamer. No new cases
reported in the last thirty-six hours
Mayor Ronald sent the foil owing reply:
Telegram received. Same laid before our
board OF health and win receive all due con-
siderAton
He said last night that he will lay the tale
gram before the board OF health today and let it
act according to its best Judgment. He viii
make no recommendation in the matter.
DIR. F. A. Churchill. president OF the board of
health, said that the quarantine would be con-
tinued several days longer, and until the board
is satisfied that all danger i. past He con-
tinued: "The period OF incubation of the dis
ease in those who have been exposed is eight or
ten days from the time OF exposure. If we were
to raise the quarantine infected persons might
get over here and the disease would not come
out upon them for that length of time"
The question was asked DR.. Churchill: "Are
there any new cases in Scatter"
mo, there are no cases beyond the two con
valescents at the pest house." he replied.
"Those two cases do not belong to the present
epidemic"
"But there are rumors that several cases have
been privately quarantined."
"There is no truth whatever in these rumors,"
said the doctor. "We have traced every such
rumos right down and found that there was no
truth in them"

A VERY sHORr-LIvED SCARE.
Case of Flea-B Bite on . Train-Appeal
From Victoria.

from VICTORIA
short-lived smallpox scare occurred on the
arrival OF the Great Northern train at $40
O'Clock last evening By permission of Super
intendent Homer, Assistant Health Officer
Wright goes up to New Whstcom on the north
bound and returns on the south bound train,
and the conductors have instructions to aid him
in every way possible. Thus he sees where
every passenger boards the train, and can vacci-
nate them during the journey.
On the train which came in last evening was
a man who was covered with spots resembling
smallpox pustules He had come from Banff
Hot Springs, and Dr.. Wright on arrival of the
train, held him for further examination by
Health Officer Sparkling. The doors of the cars
were locked, and the passengers, of whom there
were about 200, were not allowed to alight until
it had been determined whether the suspect
had the dreaded disease or not The passengers
kicked and some OF them jumped out OF the
windows, while those who were expecting
friends on the train stood on the street and con-
doled with the prisoners.
When Dr.. Sparkling reached the depot he and
his assistant made thorough examination of
the suspect. Then they came to the conclusion
that the mans own statement was true and
that the marks on his skin were the work of the
feas and mosquitoes of Banff. He and his fellow
travellers were allowed to go their several ways,
kicking at the delay of an hour. About seventy
five of them were yaccinated on the journey.
Thirteen passengers, apparently anticipating

tons, and il was impossible for the officers of
the sea Lion to get an authentic story The
telegraph Office closes AZ O'Clock and the
observation-disclosures correspondent was I'M
able TO verify the news this evening.
Ali of the officers on the Sea Lion
state positively that the people on the Port An
geles wharf hailed their vessel and gave them
the news. One person stated that the impress
sion existed that several persons are believed to
have crossed over from Victoria 10 the Ameri-
can eide in Indian canoes and to be now max
ing their way up the Sound. The Port Town
send municipal authorities have issued q call
for meeting early tomorrow morning TO take
action against Port Angeles, and will probably
order rigid examination OF all passengers from
Ciallam county points.
NEW WESTMINSTER, July l6-lSpecial. +
Frank Moreland, the only smallpox patient in
the pes, house, was released from quarantine to-
day, completely cured.
Application was made today before Judge
McCreight in the supreme court for q rule
calling upon the city of Vancouver to show
cause why l. II. Jenns, of Port Angeles, who
was Guaranteed for leaving the steamer Yose-
mite, should not . released on habeas corpus.
Argument was fixed for Tuesday.

men of the Great Northern were not allowed to
GROSS the river at this place tonight. The train
was run back to Blaine and will start from there
tomorrow morning without passengers from the
Canadian side.

have been given TO officials OF the Canadian Pa
cifc railway by Deputy Collector Reilly that
hereafter no passengers will be allowed to cross
the boundary at Sumas, including overland pas
sengers. Many Victorians went through What
com TO Seattle today.
Special prayers are offered in Victoria churches
for abatement Of the smallpox, but 1t Is doubtful
If prayer is of much avail while the city author
tiles are so lax as the following, from Wednes-
days C0Ionist, indicates:
Yesterday afternoon Police Officer Mcneil
picked up q man on the streets who he
supposed was sick. He took him to DR..
Davies office, when 1t was discovered that
the man had smallpox as was suspected. DR..
DAVE gave the man a letter to take to the
quarantine hospital and told him to 60
directly there, and to walk in the middle of
the road. Instead of going to the hospital,
fee, where he presented the note DR..
Milne, who is the medical health officer for the
city, did not read the note, but seeing the mans
condition he ordered him to go home and go to
bed. The man started up Douglas street, fol-
lowed by a couple OF onlookers, and went to
his cabin, No. 3, Woods cabins, Johnson
street. He did not stay there long, but in
the meantime the spectators had sent for police
officer, and he was not allowed to go away.
Later on the Smallpox ambulance" passed
down the street and the driver was asked to
come back shortly, and did come back and took
the sufferer to the hospital. In the meantime
several people had lett the cabin, one of them q

occurred in the northern suburbs of this city
on Thursday aud Friday of the present week.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 16.-The epidemic of
cholera is not SO highly infectious as former
outbreaks. Very few persons are attacked in
proportion to the population, but the disease is
quickly fatal. 1t is raging with extreme viru-
lence among the workingmen of Tsaritzin,
where many have died twenty-four hours after
being attacked. Riots similar to those at As
trakhan are feared at Tifis, where the butchers
are excited over decision of the authorities to
destroy the old abattors and build new. The
