 Dr Tracy, president of the State Board of Charities. has received a direct snub from the board of prison directors. At the regular monthly meeting of the di- rectors, held yesterday afternoon, the | directors had Dr Tracy's letter on the hanging machine read, and then. it is said on good authority, they raked it over the cnals unmercitully. The only official notice to be taken of the communication,
 however, was to direct the warden to write
 to the secretary of the State Board of Charities acknowledging the receipt of the communication. This is direct snub,
 not only to pr Tracy. but to the State BO' of Charities. The communication not only does not make the slightest differ eace with their action, but they do not even give it the courtesy of reply. The case of Bernard McNellis vs Will | liam Butler. which was to be heard before the jury iu the district court to, day. took a new and novel turn. The case is one
 where the plaintiffs son was injured by the defendants team running over him.
 It has been pending for over one year. | When the case was called this morning | Attorney Lowe asked to have 1t go over, as | a change had been made in attorneys and | he wished to consult with his client and | witnesses. Judge Root. who was on the
 bench, refused to adjourn it, and as the | plaintiff did not wish to go to trial he was non-suited Knowing that Attorney | O'Neill had been the plaintiff counsel tho | DEMOCRAT reporter interviewed him as to
 why he did not try the case. This is what Saturday l supposed that Judge Brad
 street would be on the bench to-day
 Judge Root, however. was sitting and l re- | fused to try 1t before him and consequently
 was nOn-suited. I consulted with my clients before this and told them they would be obliged to hire other counsel They requested Attorney Lowe to ask that the case be adjourned, so as to give him an opportunity to prepare the case and consult with them and their witnesses. Judge Root declined. however, to allc W this to be done. I never knew and never heard of case before where when counsel was changed on the eve of trial, the opportu- l nifty for counsel to consult was not grant ed. It Is granted as a matter of course upon terms. That is, the plaintiff to pay the expenses Of the day. I will certainly bring the case over again."
