Rain Has Fallen on Certain sunday
in May for Fourteen Years Except
One.
Carrolton. Ga, June5.-A very peculiar
coincidence has come to light here in re-
gard to rain coming on a certain Sunday
for the past fourteen years. The people
in the vicinity Of Pleasant View, six miles
north of Carrollton. have been holding an
old-fashion singing for the last fourteen
Years on the fourth Sunday IN May, and
old men say ii has actually rained on
every fourth Sunday in May but one in
the past fourteen years.
The MORNING News correspondent
called on the Hon. S. p. Vaudeville of this
city, who has been keeping a correct
weather diary for the last twenty years,
and he says it is fact that good rains
have fell every fourth Sunday in May for
the past fourteen years except one.

TRYING TO FREE STOCKS.
His Attorneys Deny the Courts Right
to Dismiss the Jury.


Atlanta, Ca, June Sin the superior
court today, Judge Richard H
Clark presiding, the attorneys for
Porter Stocks entered motion
to have the prisoner discharged,
the ground for the motion being the out
come of an extraordinary state of circum-
stances. Stocks was convicted a year ago
of the murder of Alph Cassin, both being
well connected young men. The supreme
court gave him new trial, which was
begun last week. During its progress the
mother of one of the jurymen died and
after a short but lively dispute between
the attorneys the court dismissed
the entire jury and declared
a mistrial. Stocks attorneys claim
that they did not consent to this, that
there is no law providing for such action.
and therefore claim that the prisoner is
entitled TO his freedom, on the ground
that he cannot be placed in jeopardy
twice for the same offense. Argument of
the questions of law and fact, the prose
cution holding that the defense did virtu-
ally consent to the discharge of the jury,
consumed the entire day. Judge Clark
has reserved his decision until tomorrow
morning If the motion is allowed the
case will go on record as one of the most
extraordinary in the criminal history of
this state. If it is overruled the supreme
court will be appealed to in case Stocks is
convicted

AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT.
Wen Located Real Estate.

On the northwest corner Of Jones and JEFF
ferson streets there is a 2-story wooden resi-
dence, with sufficient vacant ground on JEFF
ferson street to build another house.
This corner house could, at small outlay,
be converted into store, with living rooms
attached and above, and would prove an ex-
cellent stand for business.
On Jones street, west of the above, is a g.
story brick house, with large yard in the
rear, and sufficient vacant space on the east
to build another house. The frontage on
Jones street is eighty feet
This valuable property, consisting of the
above described residences, a small store and
the large lot can be bought at a low price for
cash, or if a small cash payment be made the
balance can be arranged for through a loan
company.

THE EXCURSIONISTS.
How and Where They Are
 Enjoying the Outing.
In Letter to The Republican Mr A. Redewill Thus Speaks of
 the Late Excursion.

"The 300 excursionists from Arizona points-200 of them from Phenix-had a very pleasant trip. The heat on the desert was not as great as was antIci- pated. The only discomfort experience ed was in the lack of accommodation on the train. The number of seats were inadequate for the number of ex- cursionists. To accommodate some eighty people who wanted berths on the sleepers, only two half sections Tn Pullman" and five upper berths in the tourists cars were unoccupied.
 "The hotels at Los Angeles are full of AriZonans, the "Hollenbeck" and "Natic" being the favorite for our Tue son and Phoenix people. Both furnish ample accommodation although it would add to the comfort if more energy were ohown in the matter of destroy ing those "horrid" insects mentioned in the Bible as "the pestience that walketh in darkness.
 Many of the excursionists are stop ping at Santa Monica, while others are visiting Redondo Beach. A carload of them left Los Angeles this morning for San Diega and Coronado Beach. About September 10 all will have returned to Arizona, as the tickets issued for the excursion would not be good after that date. Santa Monica is delightful sea side resort with ample accommodations in it's dozen hotels for thousands of touristsn
