SUPREME COURT OPINION
The Decision In Case Against
IaCOb S.cYeMA.

Criminal Court Clerk Young has re-
ceivcd the opinion of the Supreme court
in the case of State VS.. Jacob Stevens.
which went from the mayors court to
the Criminal court, and was there ap-
pcaled by the State. Stevens had been
tried for selling whiskey without license
in the city, and Judge Jones decided that
it was caseior Jurisdiction of the Grim
inal and not the mayors court The
opinion is by Justice Burwcll, and rccitcs
that the Board of Aldermen is empowered
to levy ard collect license upon every
dealer i'll spirituous and malt liquors,
and continues:
Having this authority to impose
license tax on this business and also to
pass all laws and ordinances necessary
to carry the intent and meaning of that
act into effect. it NUT follow that the
municipality was invested with power
to enforce the payment of this license
tax.
he offence charged against this de-
endant, that lie sold spirtuous liquors
in tie city OF Ashevillc without having
paid the tax levied on that business and
without having obtained from the city
license so to do, is, as we have said, a
distinct and separate offence from that
tor which it seems hc is indicted in the
Criminal court of Buncombe county,
and this prosecution by the city for a
violation OF its ordinance can in no wise
contlic. with any criminal action that
hppt1 h, ttt tpI
the defendant on account of the alleged
selling as an act vlolative of the general
State law.
"Ou- attention has been called to the
provision OF section SO OF chapter 2yl of
the laws of 1893 (rcvenuc act where it
is enacted in regard to the licensing of
dealers in liquors by the County Sommis
sioncrs, that the license authorized
within an Incorporated town or city
under this section shall first be granted
by the authorities of such town or city.
The effect of this provision is merely to
regulate the licensing of an applicant by
the city or town authorities as a condi.
ton precedent to the granting OF IA license
by the County Commissioners and to
declare that license to one who has
not complied Herewith shall be void.
. We conclude, therefore, that no
one OF the three reasons assigned for
quashing the warrant was valid. The
Board of Aldermen of the city Of Asheville
had authority to adopt such an ordi-
nance, plainly conferred by the act above
referred to. The ordinance in no wise
conflicts with any of the general laws of
the State, and is reasonable. 1t being a
| valid ordinance, the violation OF it is
made by statute a misdemcanor OF
which the mayor had jurisdiction"
The Supreme court costs, $2O.6O, arc
| taxed against Stevens.

SCORING BRECKENRIDGE
PLAIN TALK REFOu-
LADH State Library ! !
A Great Audience Of The Rest
People OF The Ashland Dis
nation

LEXINGTON, ky, May -. If the
white-haircd, silver tongued Breckenridge
could have looked into the Lexington
opera house yesterday afternoon at 3
O'Clock and have heard what was being
said about him, who were doing the talk
ing and who composed the audience he
to show his face again in the Ashland
district, Upon the same platform where
Col. Breckenridge received the ovation
which gave him confidence of his rc.elcc
ton, sat some 100 members of the most
prominent and most honored families in
the country, aud some Of the best known
educators i'll Kentucky.
The first speaker was Elder |. ".
McGarvy, who defended the Ministerial
Union from the attacks BreCkinridge
made upon it in his speeches here aud at
Paris. He cOntended that ministers did
have a right to point out TO their flocks
the dangers that lay before them and
that when a wolf was coming TO destroy
them it was the duty of the ministers
to warn their focks in time. Pointing
to the motto over the stage which read:
"rhe honor and integrity of the Ashland
district must and shall be preserved" he
said he urged all voters who were truly
patriotic to cast their votes against the
return OF this man to Congress.
Hon. Milton ], Durham, comptroller OF
the treasury during Cleveland's first
term, scored Breckenridge numerically.
In closing Judge Durham said II ask
YOU in the name OF these women, of these
mothers, and daughters and wives Of
good Citizens not to return Col. Breckin-
ridge to Congress, because believe it
would be Il disgrace 10 the district and
to the State" This was received with
loud and prolonged applause

WASHINGTON, May 1J.-The House

hearing today on Representative Living.
stons bill making an appropriation for
government exhibit at the proposed
cotton states and international cxposi-
tion at Atlanta in 1895. Among the
large number present were Senators
Gordon and Walsh. Speaker Crisp, c. A.
Collier, president of the exposition com
pany, S. M. lnman. Mayor Goodwin,
Clark Howell, $. D. Woodson, president
of Atlanta Chamber Commerce and
Judge Tompkins.
Clark Howell stated the object OF the
delegations visit to Washington. He
said they represented every business or
ganization in the South and came to
present a matter in which the whole
country was Interested.
{. A. Collier, president of the exposi-
ton company, said the idea which in-
duced those back OF the enterprise to un.
dertake it was that the time had arrived
for securing closer commercial relations
WIN the South American countries. hey
did not ask government appropriation
to aid the exposition, but wanted the gov
ernment to erect a building and make cX-
hibit. While Atlanta men had started the
enterprise it was in no way local affair.
All the Southern and Southwestern
States had endorsed it and promised
their support. New York, New Jersey
and some of the New England States had
already expressed a desire to participate.
The Exposition company desired Cor
gress to authorize the erection of a
100000 building and to appropriate
100000 for the transportation and
care of the government exhibit, BE
tween $4,000 and 100000 could be
secured, but the company did not want
to go beyond the limits OF their State for
subsci iptions until the government had
given the movement its approval.
