JUDGE KERSHAW RETIRES.
A Loss to the Judiciary-The Last
Charge OF an Upright Omcial.

AT the opening of the court in Camden
on the 5th inst, Judge Kershaw an
nounced his retirement from the bench,
and proceeded to prepare the way for
his successor.
Judge Kershaw addressed the grand
jury at some length, consuming over
an hour and half. He said that not
withstanding the fact that at the pre-
vious term of the court they were
charged generally, circumstances made
1T desirable that he should say some
thing to them. 1t was the last time, in
all human probability, that he would
have this duty to attend to. Judge Ker-
shaw then went over, in very interest
ing and entertaining way, the history of
the jury, and more particularly the
grand jury. He mentioned tho fact that
juries were frequently harshly critics.
ed and found fault with-a thing which
he nevogsympathised with. No NOR
tai man ever conceived better plan
than our present jury system, and this
present plan should not in any way be
changed. In his long experience at
the bar and on the bench, he believed,
with very few exceptions, juries had
done the right thing. When, in prac-
tice, he knew he was in the right, he
got Il verdict, and when he felt he had u
weak case and could not expect ver-
dict, the jures as II general thing gave u
verdict against him. There can be nc
substitute for our jury system. Reluct-
ance to convict in capital casees is
creditable, as juries should not hang a
man unless it is their duty beyond q
doubt. The excuse as to lynch law is
that juries do not do their duty, that
lawyers mislead by forcible arguments
or that judges are not harsh enough
towards criminals. This is not the
case and lynch law is not justified in
any instance. 1t used to be, but not
now. Kershaw county makes good
showing with only one case of lynch
ing. Only yesterday he saw that in an
enlightened Northern city an enter
prising Mississippi negro was lynched
Many people think that because q man
| deserves hanging any one can hang
him. This is not SO, for no one has the
right to hang a man except the regular
officer of the law. AS to 1t being right
to lynch in certain cases, he remarked
over ten years ago that no exception as
to the law could be made, and since
then lynching had been done in other
cases. All this, said Judge Kershaw
is not exactly in my line Of duty to-day
| but judges have some latitude in this
respect. | have even heard of TEN
perance lecture from very eminent
judge, but people will talk, under the
existing circumstances. The sheriff
keeps you quiet and in order, and yO,
are obliged to listen to me. My pur
pose Is not to enter into the business O
the court, but to organize and prepare
business for Judge Gary, my successor
who will open the court on "Wednesday
morning.
Judge Kershaw then charged on tn,
different bills, paid some attention Il

A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT.

A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT
During the run upon the uChicago
banks recently, the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank, which had a large line
of deposits from the poorer classes,
amounting at times to over twelve mil
lion dollars, put in an extra force of
tellers and paid every one as rapidly
as possible, and at 3 O'clock posted q
notice upon the front door that the
bank would remain open until 10
o'clock or SO long as the excitement
should continue. The run continued
into the night, and at midnight the
crowd of depositors was still large and
anxious to draw their money, The
not until two o'clock in the morning
that the doors were closed, after pay
ing the last depositor in line at that
hour. This performance, it is said,
broke the record, it being the first
time in this country, 80 far as is known,
that bank remained open after mid
night in order to meet O run. AS early
as o'clock, however, another batch OF
depositOrs made their appearance, and
they lounged against the walls or sat
on the curbstone awaiting the regular
hour for opening.
The bank officials said that they
Cdreu HoInlnS WndIeVer lOf tne run,
but were rather pleased than other
wise to pay out the money as it meant
a big saving to the institution. The
quarterly instalment is due July 1st
and the depositors who drew their
money have lost. The bank officers
estimated that the run has given them
@ profit of $4,000. 1t was announced
at midnight that the bank would not
close as long as single depositor cared
to draw out a dollar. A special detail
OF police was sent for, the force of pay
ing tellers, who have been constantly
on duty for several hours, were reliev-
ed, others took their places and the
paying of money was continued at
seven windows.
"We will stay right here for three
MONTHS" said President Mitchell that
night, and not close our doors night
or day If such a proceeding should be-
come necessary. 1t will take these
seven men at least that length of time tt
pay out the money in our vaults, even il
we get no more deposits. We are good
for any run, no matter how long il
keeps up. We have no intention o.
taking advantage of the time clause
Any depositor can get his money a
any time he wants it,"

showed no signs of fatigue. While, of
course, appearing older than he did
the last time that he presided at the
Camden court, he still had the clear
eye. elegant manner and undisputable
ability that has always marked his be-
havior on the bench, or in fact in any
public capacity.
After some routine business to-mor-
row morning, resolutions will be offer
ed by committee of the Camden Bar,
commemorating the close of Judge
Kershaw's public services, and parti-
cularly his voluntary retirement from
the bench, and some speeches will be
made by bv members of this bar and
other bars in the Fifth Circuit, the
g representatives. of which will be in at
tendance.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
How il Stands on the Sherman Act
State Banks and Income Tax.

The New York World has interview
ed nearly all the members of Congress
by telegraph on the following ques-
tions:
l. Do you, with present information,
favor the repeal of the Sherman silver.
law?
2. Do you favor an income tax?
3. DO you favor the repeal of the
State bank tax?
The World, in reporting their an
swers, says:
"Many of the answers dcviate so far
from the plain yes or no. and in
volve so many qualifications that no
tabular statement would fairly repre-
sent the opinions they express.
The important facts shown are
that to the first question. Do you,
with present information, favor the
repeal of the Sherman silver law p
there are S6 representatives who say
practically, Yes, while Is say no.
of the rest many who qualify their
answers so strongly that they cannot
fairly be placed in the affirmative col
umn, show plainly that their inclina-
tions arc in favor OF a repeal. The
sentiment of the lower house on that
question seems to be overwhelming.
"The World has already polled the
Senate on the silver bill, and or March
9th last printed Il table showing that
the body stood for repeal 30, against
81 repeal %, non-committal is. 1t will
be noticed that several who were non
committal then are now in favor of the
repeal.
There seems to be no doubt that
nearly twO-thirds of the Senate will
vote that way.
THE newer question Of the income
tax develops an interesting situation.
Many who speak freely as to the Sher-
man bill evade or ignore this question,
but forty-five say squarely that they
favor it, and forty-two that they do

of his head was badly crushed and his
face was cut in several places. The
body was removed with all possible
care and sent to the morgue to await
Identification. The total casualties as
near as can be ascertained at this wri-
ting are as follows:
Twenty-one death bodies are at the
morgue and the Emergency hospital.
Four more persons are reported dead,
whose names were probably confused
with those of victims or their identity
confused with some of the bodies
through physical resemblance.
Two persons whose names were in
the earlier list of victims taken from
the ruins escaped uninJured. The
number of injured reported is about
fifty, but many others who were able
to proceed to their homes were more
or less badly hurt. The following list
of dead is as near as can be made at
this time. Several of the dead are al
most unrecognizable and the names by
appear on the official list of persons in
the building. The list is obtained by
comparison of the imperfect state
ments prepared at the morgue and
Emergency hospital with the official
record Of the war department contain
ing the names of all employees in that
part of the record and pension division
located in the ruined building. All
the victims at the morgue and hospital
were in the employ of the government
with the probable exception of three
whose names rs given when .iden-
titled do not appear on the war de-
partment list.
The following is a list of the dead
with the names of the States from
which they were appointed:

Unknown man taken from the ruins
at o'clock this evening, evidently
clerk.
G. II. Miller is reported killed, but
it is probable that the name is meant
for G. r. Miller who was supposed to
have been killed but will recover.
The names of Jordan and Paul have
been attached to an unofficial list as
having been taken out dead, but their
bodies have not been located.
Jordan is probably duplication of
the name of David G. Jordan,
of Missouri, who was killed, and Paul
may have been confused with McFall,
also killed. One man taken from the
ruins dead was identified by a by
stander os an old man "McCauley"
who lives in Virginia, but this identi-
fication was not verified as the death
list does not contain his name.
