COURT MATTERS,
James G. Richardson's Case Postponed.
Circuit Court

James g. Richardson's Case Postponed.
Circuit Court.
The case against James G. Richard
son, for breaking Toto the store of Nell
son & Myers September 90. was called
in the Hastings Court yesterday and
postponed until the April term of court.
Harvey Dow was arraigned for partic-
iratson in the late riot, and the case is
now In the hands of the jury.
In the Circuit Court yesterday the day
was occupied in the trial OF Mary Null
care lat the relation of the Common
wealthy vs.. j. b Traynham, city ser
geant. The principal feature in the
case is that some time ago Sergeant
TraYnham accepted forthcoming bond
on which E. j. Bond was surety. Mr..
Bond at that time owned real estate
sufficient to cover the amount, but since
then disposed of it. Judge Williams
ruled that the possession of real estate
by surety did not mako a forthcoming
bond valid, and the jury, acting und or
these instruc tions, brought in a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff for S456 So.
Counsel for the defendant made a mo-
ton for new trial, which has not vet
been argued.
In the Police Court.
Thomas Evans was fined SIS in police
court yesterday morning for disorderly
conduct, and Will Leftwich was dis
missed on similar charge. Med. Lee
was fined 81 for leaving his team unat
tended. The case Of Bob Thomas for

That Baltimore intends to give
the Exposition a prompt and gen
erous support is fully evidenced on
all sides. The City Council has
unanimously approved IL, anu
Mayor Latrobe, who is one of the
directors, is actively engaged in
promoting the development of the
project. Governor Brown is also
giving it his hearty encouragement,
At largely attended mass-meeting
of business men held at the Mer-
chants club in June last the pro-
posed exposition was endorsed IN
speeches and resolutions, there
being no dissenting voice.
The inhabitants of Baltimore are
enthusiastically entering into the
spirit Of the undertaking, and it is
not anticipated that there will be
any serious difficulty IN the way of
raising all the required financial
aid through popular stock su bscrip-
ton.
To both Baltimore and Maryland
the Exposition will present an OPP
portunity that neither can afford to
neglect. AS an advertisement cal
culated to stimulate immigraeeiis5ffisi
to our counties and the investment
of capital the opportunity is indeed
a rare one.

September Forecast 1894.

A wave of fair and bGacing wealth
er tlnged by a slight admixture of
cool northwesterly winds, making it
feel somewhat chilly, will prevail at
the opening of the month in CEN
tral and western parts. save in the
far east, where the disturbance of
the latter days of August will still
be lingering. As the 4th APP
proaches the temperature will be
growing warm, and east to south
winds will be in attendance, culmi-
mating in a wave of disturbance on
or about the 9TH, which will deyel-
Op narrow belts of showers, une-
quaIlv distributed, likely to be
continued to the eth, when wave
some cooler will rush in behind the
disturbance. On the 9th the tenn
perature will be growing very much
IN heat, and local thunder showers
are likely to deyelope on both the
9th and 10th. High temperature
will be apt to prevail from the 10th
to the 18th or 14th. A wave of dis
turbance will center on the 18th,
which will start to develope about
the 18th in the west, and run its
course about the 18th in the east.
Rains more generally distributed
are likely to prevail. Storms Of
wind on the northern lakes and the
North Atlantic ocean will be most
likely to manifest their presence,
and on the southern wing of the
disturbance tornadoes and cyclones
are likely to prevail at this period.
A rush of cold air will follow the
disturbance, which will reach the
frost line in many places, especially
northward. Indeed, northwest in
Minnesota ana the Dakotas, where
in July the temperature registered
100 and 112 degrees at the Wealth
er Bureau in the shade, from 16 to
"a degrees higher than at the de-
partments in the Gulf and South
Atlantic States, on the same dates,
snow squalls are likely to manifest
their presence there. A wave of
disturbance may arise on or about
the 21st, denoting some energy.
However, the indications point to
the waves of the 18th, and also CEN
trail on the 9th, as the periods at
which the exciting causes will more
generally intensity the meteorolog-
ical elements.
October will be apt to be a pleas
ant month, comparatively free from
any great storms CT wind and ex-
cessiye rains or prolonged periods
Of wet weather in central parts.

who was the Republican Worlds
Fair Commissioner from West Yir-
ginia, has left the Republican party,
and will enter the campaign in the
Second Congressional district in
support of the candidacy of Mr..
Wilson. Major Butt left here to day
and means to put in his time from
this to the election in doing what ne
can to aid the Democratic cause.
Major Butt IS an ardent admirer
of Mr.. Wilson, regarding him as one
of tile purest, ablest aud most disin-
terested patriots the country has pro-
duced in this generation. Majsr
Butts conversion to Democracy will
not fail to have marked effect on
the more intelligent Republicans of
the Second District, as he has long
been prominent in politics, and has
again and again been talked of as
the Republican candidate for the
Legislative and Congressional nomi-
nations in the districts.
