While we can introduce no reason
why stor ms and tornadoes arc more
frequent and more destructive now,
than when we were young, memory
running through 70 years, establishes
the fact, that they are more numerous
and moie fearful in effects. At what
point in childhood memory begins to
exercise its functions by storing oc'
currences for the future, we do not
know, but we do know. that it began
with US between three and four years
OF age, at the pulling Of tooth-our
father holding me in his lap with the
strength OF a giant, while an uncle
thrust or pushed in our mouth, a shoe
makers instrument with tweezer jaws
and good sized hammer beneath.
Pulling teeth at any time since, with
the best instruments and most ex-
perienced dentists. has been terrible,
but our introduction to tooth pulling at
the early age 8, began: with such an
instrument, was we'll calculated to open
all the avenues Of memory, and from
that hour until 1s4O. when we were 26, the
first terrific storm that lover saw struck
the neighborhood in which we was liv
ing, unrooting houses, overturnine
fences, uprooting trees. etc, without
any loss of life. Soon after we came tt
Mississippi, where they have become
more frequent, almost every year. A;
there is no effect without cause, there
must be reason for this change to
wards more frequent and more violen
atmospheric and electric demonstra
, tions.

If to be just before being generous,
is u good moral maxim, the Prince OF
Wales ignored it when he sent fifteen
hundred dollars to be paid for flowers
with which to decorate St. George S
church in New York, on Easter. Had
he paid some Of his debts in London,
which constantly haunt him, he might
have felt better; anyhow, he would
have been more just.

HENRY FOSTER MAY STILL HOPE.
Supreme Court Grants Morgan's Slayer
New Trial
Special to Appeal-Avalanche.l

Special to Appeal-Avalanche.l
JACKSON, Miss, April 1.-THE case
Of Henry c. Foster, on appeal from
Yalobusha county, Foster having been
convicted OF the murder of ex.Con-
grcssman John E. Morgan, was decid-
ed by the Sureme Court to-day, a new
trial being granted Foster. The court
held that it was error, but did not say
reversible error, to permit the medical
expert to give his opinion as to the
course of the bullet after leaving the
body, or what must have been the
position of Morgan when shot, for this
is not matter for expert testimony, but
is common experience and matter for
inference as to which the jurors were
as competent to draw inierences as the
doctor. The same view applies to the
doctors evidence as to the position of
Morgan's s arm at the second shot.
The action of the court in sending
the jury to the car in which the killing
was done, and thus having part Of the
trial without the presence of the pris-
oner and the court. was held to be a
fatal error, and so much OF the section
of the code OF 1892 as authorizes such u
proceeding is declared to be violation
Of the constitutional right Of tile accus-
ed. 1t was declared that all evidence
Of previous difficulty between Morgan
and accused should have been excluded.
and that so far from the accused having
the right to show its particulars, he
should not have been permitted to
show that there was difficulty.

Boy DRowNED.-Shortly before II
o'clock to-day Willie Wilson, colored,
aged I, son of Eli Wilson, who drives a
truck for Mr.. F. S. Harper, fell into the
water from Reeds wharf, between King
and Prince streets, and was drowned.
The unfortunate child, with several 9TH
ers of about his own age, was fishing
from the south side of the wharf, and
some say he fell asleep and rolled over
board, but others assert he was in the
act of reaching for dead fish which
was floating in the water when he fell
in. Mr.. James Phillips. who was in
the neighborhood at the time, heard
the alarm, hoy overheard y and ran
to the spot in time to see him in the act
of going down. Mr.. Phillips plunged
over with his clothes on and endeavor-
ed to find the drowning child, but his
efforts were futile and after some min
utes he abandoned the work. He re-
turned later with others and after div
ing for some time the body was recoV-
cred and placed on the wharf.
The city coroner being out OF the city
Justice Nav. at $50 o'clock this even
inc examined into the cause of the
drowning and being convinced that it
was entirely accidental, decided not to
hold an inquest and turned the body
over to the boys father.

Baltimore yesterday the money market work
ed easier, closing with better feeling, with
the rate unchanged at per cent. Local
shares are quiet with little doing.
NEW YORK. July The stock market
continued to improve after the opening this
morning and prices made substantial ad
vance on comparatively light offerings. The
aders on the floor were more hullishly de-
clined and some of the shorts attempted to
cover. The latter developed the fact that
stocks were scarce. The improvement in
London prices also tended to import firmer
toac to speculation. At II a. M. the market
was firm in tone.

DELIVERED HIMSELF UP.-A few
weeks ago the county authorities raided
some gamblers at Jackson City and q
man named Charles Beverage was cap
tured and held on the charge OF con-
Quoting policy shop. Hcwas released
on bail for his appearance, and on Mon
day delivered himself up to Judge Chi
chester for his disposition. Beveridge
was fined 5000 and sentenced to impri-
sonment for ten days. Upon his soli-
citation Che being still under bond he
was allowed to go back to Washington
to settle some private affairs with the
understanding that he would present
himself on Wednesday for incarcera,
ton Beveridge appeared at the jail
on the morning of Tuesday, the Fourth
of July and asked to be locked up in
order that the mandate OF the court
concerning him could be carried out. A
turnkey, who knew nothing of the cir
cumstances of the case, took him for
tramp and refused to allow him to Ell
ter the building Beveridge left his
gripsack and concluded to return to
Washington and await until Wednes-
day for an opportunity to get in Jail,
and upon his temperance here on that
day he was given accommodations by
Sergeant Smith in the institution into
which he had been denied admission
the day before.

THOMPSON. Vincent aud the Superin-
tendent.
In the absence of the chairman Mr..
Strauss was elected Chairman pro. tenn.
Mr.. Vincent, from the committee on
school houses and furniture, reported
in reference to placing water pipes IN
Washington building, that the water
rent would not be increased if the by
drant was removed from the yard and
pipes placed in the eight rooms OF that
building, and submitted bid OF SSg;oO
from VIM. Desmond for the work. The
committee was directed to prepare a
contract for putting water in and car
rying it from each Of the rooms IN
Washington building in substantial
manner and report the same at the
next meeting.
The same committee was authorized
to have trees planted in front OF Wash
ington building. IL,

Mt that building was referred 10 that
committee with the request that they
report the estimated cost, &c, at the
next meeting.
The same committee was authorized
to have the necessary repairs made to
the various buildings during vacation.
Mr.. Marbury, from the finance com
mittee, in reference to the application
of Mr.. X. Kemper for an increase OF
salary as Superintendent OF schools;
after stating that the committee had
held conference with the finance
committee of the City Council on the
subject, reported in favor OF making an
application direct to the City Council to
supplement the salary OF the Supcrin-
1endent of Schools 10 the amount OF
$500, which report was adopted.
Previous to the adoption of the CON,
mittee's report some debate occurred
on the subject of the proposed increase,
Mr.. Kemper urging that the board
should specify sum for Council to APP
propriate rs supplemental to his pre-
sent salary as Superintendent; other
wise, he said, the application was like
ly to prove abortive and amount TO
nothing. He had individually petition
ed Council for supplemental salary
they had referred the matter to the
School Board, and it was now in order
for the latter body to act. :,
Some members of the board agreed
with the Superintendent. but others
yere averse to designating the amount,
arguing that Council should be allowed
to appropriate sum they might deem
suitable.
The Superintendent reported that he
had held final examinations OF the
schools during the past month and was
much pleased with the result, and that
he had closed the schools for the vaca-
ton in accordance with the directions
of the board. The schools, he said, had
made satisfactory progress during the
session.
1t was ordered that the schools be
reopened on the first Monday IN Sep

rected to begin the issuance of permits
