A DULL DAY FOR THE CADI.
TWO UNFoRTUNATES WHO APPLY
FOR THE WAGES OF THEIR SIN.

The Steps Taken By Chief DoIAn Prohib-
iting the Sale of Liquor to HabItual
Drunkards Producing Good Results In
Reducing Arrests for IntoxicatIon.
The black list inaugurated by Chief
Dolan has already produced good results.
and the best evidence of this Is shown by
the marked decrease in the drunks
brought before Judge Ball In Municipal
Court. Those saloon keepers who paid
no attention to public sentiment, but
continued to sell to habitual drunkards,
provided always that they had the plice,
have taken alarm at the determined
stand made by the police authorities,
and recognizing the fact that If caught
they will get punished, no matter what
.pulr they may believe they have,
now refuse to sell their infamous stuff to
those who are on the prohibited list.
Several of these offenders have tried
alcohol and Jamaica ginger obtained at
paint and drug stores, but the liquid
don't seem to FIJI the place of the forty
rod whiskey sold on the coast and Is not
destined to become popular.
The list which has bssn furnished the
saloon keepers land police is made up of
persons who have been sent to jail three
times ard over by Judge Ball during
any twelve months for drunkenness, and
up to date contains sixty three names.
They are Eil past masters In the lodge
John O'RoGrke was arrsigned this
morning for drunkenness. He was
brought III by officer Sarcoski, who
found him on the street, unable to navi.
gate. Bis name was recommended IS a
candidate for the third degree, but
fortunately for him, he succeed ed In
convincing the judge that 1t had been
over year since he was before him. The
fine was 81 and costs.
Enoch Smith, a colored minstrel,
was gathered in by Officer Payne. He
had q guitar which he had made
himself, and large cargo Of rum which
he had gathered on his farewell tour
He pleaded hard to be allowed to return
to his home on Mechanic street, but vii
have to pay 81 and costs before he can dC
so.

a TENNESSEE Law INVALID.
The Mobile and Ohio Exempt From
Taxation.

Washington, May l4.-The Tennessee
law, which the officials Of that state con-
tend authorizes them to tax the property
of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Com
pany for the years 1885 to 1889 inclusive,
was declared by the supreme court of the
United States to-day in an opinion read
by Justice jackson TO be invalid as far as
that company is concerned. The COM
pany was chartered by the state of Ten
nessee in lS4S with q provision eXempting
its capital stock from taxation, and its
property for period of twenty-five years
from its completion, aud that no tax
should be levied which would reduce the
dividend below per cent. per annum.
The supreme court decided that taxes
Tor 1880 and 1856 could not be collected
because they were within the period of
twenty-five years subsequent 10 compile
ton, but that for the subsequent years
taxes were due under the law and should
be collected The railroad company
appealed on the ground of viola
tion OF contract, and the state officials
set up want of Jurisdiction
By the supreme court of the United
States. Tho latter point, Justice Jackson
said, the supreme court overruled, and
held that II did have Jurisdiction. AS TO
the question did the exemption clause
In the company's charter violate a section
Of the constitution of Tennessee, which
requires all property to be taxed" the
opinion said the legislature had power TO
exempt the property under consideration
The ) per cent, provisions, Justice Jack
son said, constituted a contract between
the corporation and state, which the law
In question contravened. The Judgment of
the supreme court of Tennessee Is, there
fore, reversed
Chief Justice Fuller dissented.
The dissent of the chief justice Is based
upon the theory that the per cent. pro-
vision was a rule Of taxation which was
special, exclusive and in violation of the
constitution of the state justices Gray,
Brewer and Shiras joined the chief JUS
tice in his dissent.

BROOKLYN'S BIG HANDICAP.
Pool Room Keepers Trying to Do Up
the Jockey Club.

Ahdavtts and Warrants Laid Before
the District Attorney Alleging That
the Club is About to Engage in a
Lottery-The District Attorney Re-
ceives the Pool Room Men Rather
Coolly-The Probable Starters in the
Race-Cliftord Sure to GO to the Post
the Favorite.
Brooklyn, N. V, May 14.-Peter De.
Lacey, New York pool room keeper, has,
through his counsel, George +. Elliott, of
this city, prepared to do as much damage
as he can to the opening meeting of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club at Gravesend to-
morrow Accompanied by MIR Elliott,
DeLacey visited the district attorneys
office this noon. MIR Ridgeway said
to DeLacey that if he learned of
any violation of the new law, or any
likelihood Of its being violated, he would
be prompt to take proper action. While
the interview was progressing delega-
tion of pool room men arrived and were
received rather coldIy by the district at
torney. They brought with them affi-
davits and warrants.
CLAIM OF THE AFFIDAvITs.
The aifidavits were from unknown
parties and alleged that the Brooklyn
Jockey Club and its officials were about
to engage in lottery; that the monev
which it represented in the stake of the
Brooklyn handicap was a lottery, and,
therefore, against the law of the state
The afidavits did not touch on the point
of book making and pool selling
on the track, as that would be
swearing out warrant for some
thing which was in the future.
Alleging the money now up for the handi-
cap TO be a lottery scheme, cleverly
enough gives a basis for warrants to be
issued. Warrants were drawn up for the
officials of the Brooklyn Jockey Club and
for prominent horsemen whose horses will
engage in the event. The pool room dele
cation soon took their departure for
Gravesend to hunt up justice of the
peace who would sign the warrants.
Those warrants can have no effect, except
to place the officials of the track under
arrest, and cannot interfere in any way
with the running of the handicap.
THE DAY ON THE TRACK
Almost as many people as were at the
track Sunday were on hand this morning
to watch the last appearance of the
horses engaged in the Brooklyn handicap
to be run at Gravesend tomorrow. The
list of probable starters, as far as can be
learned tonight is as follows

OUTRAGED By A NEGRO.
The Daughter of a Widow Assaulted
in Her Bed Room.

Ocala, Fla, May 14.-South Lake Weir
was fearfully aroused this morning by
another raping case coming to light MIN
Young, young negro of Summerfield,
went to Mrs. Helmes house, at South
Lake Weir, this morning at 3 o'clock,
stealthily entered it, went into the sleep
ing room of her two daughters, aged
l3 and 10, and in drawing the
cover off them awoke them. They
resisted, when he snapped his pistol
three times at them, but it did not go off
He so frightened the girls that. he accom-
p.ished his design on the older girl. When
tue mother discovered that the black
f,n1 had satiated his lust she was so
0 ,ercome that she begged him to shoot
her and her child. The negro hung
around awhile, threatening the occupants
of the house if they gave the alarm and
then left.
Edward Chase, living near, was aroused
and told the fearful story, and in company
with a negro hired man tracked the tiend
to an old church near Weirsdale on the
Florida Southern railway, arrested him
and brought him to Ocala and lodged him
in iail. Had the news Of the act been
spread sooner at South Lake Weir, Young
would never have taken the train, but
would have been hung to the nearest tree,
so aroused and incensed were the people

seen in the rear of the hall, and calls for
Mr.. Crovatt brought him forward. He
explained that he was there for the pur-
pose of answering specific charges that
he had heard would be made against

bage on the grounds of friendship and
the belief that he would make good
alderman. As to charges against him he
asked any person to be fair and state
them in public He courted an investiga-
tion and asked for questions Many ques-
tions were asked him and answered, but
no charges were made.

ness to break the contract, if it was a
wrong one and oppressive to the people,
with the water company, about which
discussion arose, and make a new one.
Questions were asked and answered on
both sides, each party showing no i'll tenn
per.

posed that the meeting nominate an alder
man for SUBMISSION to council
j. l.. Beech offered a resolution, which
was carried, sustaining the mayor and
aldermen who voted against Mr.. Bur
bage.
Mr.. Tilton argued against such resolu-
tions as promotive of bad feelings.
f. f. Twitty nominated c. d. Ogg, and
upon request Chairman Putnam asked
Aldermen Crovatt and duBignon if they
would support Mr.. Ogg if he was nomi-
mated. Both declined absolutely to be
bound by the action of the meeting ire
spective of the party named.
j. l.. Beach proposed that a committee
Of ten from the meeting name man.
M. Isaacs was named and indOrsed by
a rising vote.
M. j. Egan then attempted to read
paper relating to Brunswick's late relief
committee, but was cried down and a
motion to adjourn was put and carried
while he stood attemptine TO read.
Brunswick will not suffer by to-aight's
action. All questions were fully dis
cussed, but no bad feeling exists that will
hurt the city.
