The Early County News and its able
editor, DR.. Howard, are somewhat stirred
up because Judge Griggs reduced the
fine imposed upon a barkeeper at Fort
Gaines upon the conditi On of the filing
of an affidavit that the barkeeper would
never sell liquor on Sunday hereafter.
The good doctor anxiously makes IN
quiry concerning the legal tender value
of such afidayits, and is afraid such re-
missions may become matters of class
legislation. Perhaps there may have been
reasons for the remission of the fine
which have not yet found their way into
the Early County News sanctum, We
doubt not that Judge Griggs had good
cause for his action.

CONGRESSMAN RUSSELL is happily sit
uated. In fact, he is to be envied by our
other public men. While he makes sill
yer speeches to his constituents and runs
for congress on silver platform his
paper exerts itself for the gold standard.
He ''shinnies'' on both sides of the line.
1t is great sport. And we are helping
him enjoy it.

GUATEMALA ALL RIGHT.
Wilde Dispatches Not Believed by Mr..
LazO.Arriaga.

LdZO' ATTluSd.
Washington, April 3.-"I don't be-
ieve." said the Guatemalan minister,
Mr.. Lazo-Arriaga, this morning, that
any of these alleged kilograms was
written In Central America" The min
lister referred to several dispatches
printed in the New York World today
which stated In substance that as a re-
suit of the Mexican troubles Guatemala
had lost prestige in Central America; !;
that she now had a strong temptation
to declare war against Salvador to re-
cover her lost prominence, and that the
Barros administration in Guatemala
would have difficulty in sustaining
itself on account of Guatemala's set
tlement with Mexico.
1t is well known here that Guatemala
had strong sympathy of all the
Central American states in her dispute
with Mexico, that so far from losing
prestige as the result of her new treaty
with Mexico. she has come out of the
affair with credit to herself, and
throughout the continua tion Of the dis
pute, she has had the strong moral sup
port of all the other republics in Central
America.

IMPORTANT DECISION,

Judge Scott Declares the borough Or.
dinance Void.
South Bethlehem, Pa, April 3-Every
town in Pennsylvania is indirectly
effected by decision rendered today by
Judge Scott. The case was brought by
this borough against New York firm
for the recovery of a penalty for the
violation of borough ordinance. This
ordinance requires persons not engaged
in permanent retail business here, be-
fore beginning the sale Of any goods
whatever, to pay license fee of $50
a month. A penalty of a fine not less
than 500 Is provided for the violation
of the ordinance. The defendants con-
tended the ordinance was in violation
of the interstate commerce law.
Judge Scott declared the ordinance
void, because the act of 1893 does not
limit the amount of the fine to be i'm
posed. The ordinance was also declared
to be unlawful because it is in con-
travention Of the rights Of interstate
commerce,

wounded. One of them was captured
in hiding an hour after the sklrmish,
but the rest are in the mountains. The
prisoner would give little information.

daring but unsuccessful attempt to es-
cape from the Eddyville jail ever made.
was attempted yesterday afternoon by

Bonner. The men had in some way
procured two pistols. and when the
gate was opened to let a car enter, they

the fire, wounding two of them, but
they continued their flight. They were
not captured until mile from the
prison. Mccoy and Mitchell were dan
gerously, II not fatally, shot.
