SURPRISED THE PROSECUTION.

Judge Morrow Quashes the Indicted
Against Frank l.. Wilson.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 9.-In the case
of the United States vs. Frank L. Will
son, Judge Morrow of the district court
has granted the motion OF the defend
ant to quash the indictment charging
him with sending obscene matter
through the mails. The expressions
complained of were written by Wilson
at Lakeville to a friend in San Francis
CO. Judge Morrow surprised the United
States attorney and postal inspectors by
his Interpretation OF the statute govern
ing such cases. He decided that per-
sonsl letter, securely sealed, contain
ing obscenity, is not indictable, even if
it passed through the mails. He
interprets the law to refer only to mani
fold stylogrsph printed copies or similar
publications. Numerous courts have
held that written letters containing
obscenity are included in the meaning
OF the statute. and such cases have been
punished by fine and imprisonment.
District Attorney Garter announces that
he will appeal this case to the higher
court.

Three Miners Seriously Injured at Grass
Valley.
GRASS VALLEY. Nov. 9.-This evening
Stephen Davey and Samuel Kitto came
near losing their lives in the North Star
mine. They were descending the shaft
on truck, Davey sitting in front; they
had with them what miners call a
scraper. When nearing their destina-
tion in the shaft the scraper struck a
post of the shaft and then struck Davey
in the muscles of the arm, passing
through the aeshy part, coming out back
of the shoulder blade and entered the
body OF Kitto, penetrating his right lung
and passing nearly through his body.
DIR. Jones thinks that Kitto will die.
William Leonard was quite severely
hurt this morning in the Pennsylvania
mine. He was walking down the shaft
when he heard car coming. There
was no chance for him to get away 80 he
lay down on the track and the car passed
over him. His scalp was badly torn and
lacerated but his injuries are not of a
serious nature. 1t was miraculous es-
cape from death.

one of Mello's torpedo boats yesterday.
Nictheroy and Fort Villegagnon have
been much damaged by shells. Al
though various explanations are
made to account for the explosion of the
powder magazine on Governado's island,
the real cause is left in mystery. The
magazine was the principal storehouse
for ammunition for the rebel feet. The
loss is felt all the more because four of
their magazines have been blown up
within a week.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 9.-The Republic's g
special from Columbia. s. c., says: AT
the state fair today W. B. Meetz was
selling rice beer. Governor Tillman
sent word that IL must be stopped.
Meetz refused. The governor told
Sheriff Cathcart to stop it, and Cath
cart said he would make no arrests ex-
cept under a trial Justices warrant.
The governor, accompanied by some
pepitentiary guards, then ordered the
sales to cease. Meetz telling him he
would only recognize the authority of
the state constables when they were
armed with a warrant, the captain Of
the local militia company was appealed
to and said he could not get his COM
pany together. Meanwhile Meetz dis
pensed more beer. Then the governor
mustered a large posse and armed them,
telling them to shoot il necessary, but
carry out his orders. He marched at
their head. Two of Meetz's clerks were
arrested in Meetz's absence, but he ap-
peafed suddenly and ran all OF
the posse out and said they could
not interfere with him except
at their peril. Governor Tlllman said
they could arrest Meetz under the dis
pensary law without a warrant, and
ordered them to do 30. "The t1rst man
that CROSSES my counter to arrest me
without warrant I'll shoot" said he.
No one tried it. Neither would Meetz
allow his contract to be revoked by the
secretary OF the fair. when the latter
tried to do go at the governors request.
Finally Meetz sold out all his beer and
war was averted.
