ton.
The freeholders of the Eighth militia dis
trict who recently petitioned Judge H.
L. Ferrill to order an election for fence
or no fence in their district which petit
ito was denied by him, filed mandamus
proceedings against him yesterday in the
superior court.
The petition was filed through their at
torney G. H. Miller, and was made in be-
half of fifteen property owners of that
district, who asked for the election. They
hold that the law allows an election in each
district, and that Judge Ferrills refu3al
to order one will constitute defect of
legal justice. They ask that writ of
mandamus issue and that Judge Ferrill
be required to show cause why he refused
to order the election as requested. Judge
Falligant issued the order and set the
hearing for Sept. 6. The matter was pref
ty thoroughly gone into at the time. and
the no fence people have no fears as to
the result of the mandamus proceedings.

The reply to the second demand is that
Nicaragua, even before receiving the
British communication, had revoked the
DEGREES of banishment. To the first and
third demands the answer is that in
order to preserve friendly relations with
her majesty's government and with the
purpose of fairness and justice. Nicar-
aqua proposes that all questions of pay
ment for personal injury, injury to prop
erty, etc., be referred to an impartial
commission of arbitration.
The foregoing is regarded rs most
diplomatic answer, as it comedies Mica
ragua's willingness to adjust the differ
ences, and yet courteously suggests that
the e15,500 demanded as exparte esti-
mates and the whole question of the
amount should be left to arbitration.
Great Britain's answer to the counter
proposition is awaited with interest, but
Nicaragua's reply is so pacific in char
acter that it is believed the subject has
ceased to have warlike aspect, and that
diplomacy will adjust the remaining de-
tails.

Nicaragua Replies.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-It is reliably
stated that Nicaragua has replied to
Great Britain's ultimatum. 1t is in the
nature of counter proposal, and not a
direct acceptance or rejection of British
demands, and as such it is not yet known
whether Great Britain will accept it as a
response to the ultimatum which made
three demands:
First-Money indemnity of Els, 800
sterling for alleged personal injuries to
British subjects, including the British
consul, Hatch.
Second-The revocation of the declara-
tion of banishment against British sub
jects.
rhird-The formation of commission
to decide by arbitration the damages
done to property of British subjects ex-
PEELED from Nicaragua. The ultimatum
contained no limit of'time, but in sub
sequent note, Earl Kim berly stated an
answer to the ultimatum would be ex.
pected within seven weeks from Febru-
ary 26. The seven weeks are up to.
morrow.

bility for the crimes upon Durant, but
they will Withhold formal filing of the
charge of murder until after the inquest
has been held. It is said however, at
police headquarters that it is by no
means certain as yet that Durant did
not have an accomplice.
News of disquieting nature reached
police headquarters about II O'Clock last
night, and it was feared that an attempt
might be made to break into the central
station and take Durant from the author
tiles. Crowds gathered around the
bulletin boards, and talked of lynching
him, and it was thought that an attack
might be made on the prison. Officers
were stationed around the entrance to
the prison and the heavy barred doors,
examined by locksmith to see that
they were firm and in condition to re-
sist attack. Every point of possible at
tack was carefully examined, and the
officers of the prison felt more assured
when informed that no weak point had
been found. At midnight several officers
were detailed to keep a sharp lookout
along the streets leading to the station,
in order that no mob could approach
without the officers on duty being
warned.
There is one clew in the case which
the detectives have overlooked. On the
left side of Durant's chin two small
pieces of skin are torn off. The scars
were quite red this morning, When
questioned Durant promptly explained
that he got them while out riding yester-
day. The police surgeon, however, after
examining the wounds with a view to
determining when they were inflicted,
with the murder of Marian Williams
Friday night, and as the scars look like
nail scratches, it is not improbable they
were made by Marian in her struggles
with the murderer.
Durant last night made several state
ments which investigation has proved
incorrect. He said that on Friday night
he left home at 8 O'Clock, and after tax
ing short ride on the cars, went to DIR.
Vogel's house, arriving there at $3.50
O'Clock. The fact is that Dnrant did
not arrive at Vogel's till almost 1C
o'clock, and then his appearance be-
tokened a struggle. His hail was disor-
dered, his linen crumpled, his face in g
perspiration. He asked to rearrange
his toilet.
This morning Durant refused to tall
for publication, but conversed with
friends who called, to each proclaimins
his innocence. Even among his fellow
church members his guilt is believed.

The habit OF using profane Ian
guage is the most senseless one in
to which any man ever fell, There
is nothing to justify it-absolutely
nothing. No possible good can
come OF it. 1t is the only hook
that the devil does not bait. That
any rational creature should so far
forget what is due to his personal
dignity as TO use his lips for the ut
terances of defling oaths, is thing
that passes comprehension. Still
stranger is it that anyone shoald
be found so foolhardy as to thus in
suit the majesty of Jehovah. In
particular we wish TO say that the

an example of profanity before his
growing sons lacks little OF deserv'
ing the epithet satanic.-Christiar

A very large crowd OF Louisa
people spent last Friday afternoon
at the school house. The occasion
was the closing Of the Louisa pub
lie schools. In the two advanced
departments an exposition was
made OF the work Of each pupil up
on examination in all the branches.
These were nearly all models Of
neatncss, and were prepared and
compiled in the clearest and most
compact manner. These papers
were examined by the public with
much interest. II is new plan
here, and a most excellent one.
Remarkable progress is shown by
the pupils OF Messrs. Anderson and
MelOy.
In the intermediate aud primary
departments the showing Is also
excellent. The children had pre-
pared recitations, aud performed
very crcditably. Misses McTIenry
aud Billups have done splendid
work.
Tho interest displayed by the
parents and friends is greater than
usual, and this fact speaks highly
