Must Support HIS Family.

A telegram from the City of Mexico dated the 18th inst says: The entire day yesterday was devoted to the vote of the Verastegui-Romero duel case. The public prosecutor made a great speech, which was immediately cir culated in circular form all over the city. He denounced dueling as a crime, demanded the punishment of everybody conceIned, and declared his conviction that Romero and his sec onds laid deliberate trap for Veras- tegui. He continued that General Rocha should be punished for having furnished piStols. The whole thing was premeditated murder of Veraste- gui. The grave was practically dug before he went to the Spanish ceme- tery to exchange shots with Romero.
 The civil prosecuting attorney fol- lowed in speech strongly denonncing Romero, causing an uproar in the court. Lawyers for the defense fol- lowed, Romeros attorney defending his rule to fight as military man who has received insulting language.
 Judge de la Hog occupied two hours in delivering his charge to the jury. The jury then retired bringing in d verdict. The hall of the court was crowded. The jury brought in yer dict of guilty in the case of Col. Ro- nero, and by majority absolved Gen. Rocha and the four seconds, Prida, Castillo, Barreto and Carrillo. The public prosecutors asked for penalty of five years for Romero.
 The judge sentenced Romero to three years and four months at hard labor in the municipal prison, with liberty to choose the trade he pre- ferred, and he was also sentenced to pay fine of $500 or serve 100 days additional. Furthermore he was ad- monished that if he ever committed a similar offense, the severest penalties of the criminal code would be applied to him. The judge then sentenced him to pay to the family of Veraste- gui for eighteen years the sum of S4500 yearly, and also to pay the cost of VeTastegui's funeral and all cost in the case. The severity in the sen tence was considered almost extreme, but public opinion justifies it.
 Dr. Preciado was absolved by the jury. Judge de la Hoz then gave notice that the verdict absolving all prisoners, excepting Romero, was, in his opinion contrary to law and the and he, therefore, would send the case to the upper court for it's decision, which, if unfavorable to the prisoners, will result in severe sen tences for all these. The sentence of Romero establishes precedent that men killing antagonists in duels will have to maintain the family of their victim or remain in prison perpetually. |

NEXT: Do you know why Collector Sam F. Webb reminds me of two dollar horse under a forty dollar saddle?
 BARBER: No.
 NEXT: Because he bears the same relative value to his official position as the horse does to the saddle.
 VICTIM: And one feels just as proud of his covering as the other.
 THE OTHER MAN: He always re- minds me of the little four bit fellows one sometimes meets in Mexico, wear ing fifty dollar hats.

 VICTIM: l hear you have lost the custom house trade again?
 BARBER: Yes.
 NEXT: Why does the outfit boycott you?
 BARBER: One of them said I had given away to THE OASIS the scandal about Sam Webb's personally arrest ing the Mexican woman who was sus- pected of smuggling goods across the line under her apron.
 THE OTHER MAN: That was silly, for that scandal has been so great and widespread that THE OASIS has doubt less heard of it from a score of differ ent people.
 NEXT: l told Bird about it myself when l was passing through Benson, before he ever came down here.
 BARBER: 1 surely never told THE OASIS anything about it. At the time that the scandal occurred I said it was one of the most disgraceful things ever saw, but 1 have never mentioned it since.
 VICTIM: They boycotted you at that time, didn't they?
 BARBER: Yes; but they had all come back since.
 THE OTHER MAN: A more simple, childish crowd were never got together in public office.
 NEXT: There IS a question in my mlnd whether trouble could not be made for them at Washington should it be made known there that the GUS tom house force were banded together to make their trade an object to squeeze out of people what they don't want to give, or as menace to busi- ness men, preventing their expre ssion of honest opinions about gross delin- quencies in public servants.

 BARBER: Will Nogales ever again see good times?
 VICTIM: Just as sooh as the silver luestson is settled.
 NEXT: There has been an influence here which has done more to kill the trade of Nogales than the deprecia- tion of silver and everything else ad- verse combined.

The thorough investigation which the
Morning News has undertaken has
brought a number of manufacturing in
dustries to public notice that were almost
entirely unknown, to a great many peo-
pie, and some Of these industries are car
ried on in such a quiet way that it was
not an easy matter to gather the neces-
sary information.
That the most unexpected of all our
manufacturing, the manufacture of cheap
cloths existed in savannah, was never
thought OF. 1t is nevertheless q fact that
number of people are thus employed
At No. 30 Williamson street Joe HalDrein

looms only are made for one Jobblng house

the wages paid out average about $40 a

could employ twice as many more hands
as ] have. There are others in the same
business, but can give no names or par
ticulars; there is one party who makes
capcs and mantuas.
Inquiry showed that there is such an
establishment on Price street, and several
others on Indian, jefferson and on West
Broad street. and elsewhere, but all seemed
rather disinclined TO give any particulars,
and seemed to have been warned not to
make the fact for whom they worked
known, and beyond the statement that
they manufactured for a large wholesale
house in the clothing line, but little in
formation could be gathered.
The Halprein establishment is how
ever a fair specimen, and probably sixty
or seventy people in all are employed in
the manufacture of cheap clothing for Sa-
vannahs wholesale trade. The wages
earned probably average so to 90 cents per
day per person, and will reach $1,000 or
$4,000 u year.
All the places where the manufacturing
is done are clean, airy and all have am
pie room. They cannot be termed by any
means sweat shops, as they are in the
north, and they give at least living to a
number of people.

Look After the Pavements.

Editor Morning News: The sidewalks in
portions of the city need looking after.
Some of them are in a very bad condition,
being extremely rough, making walking
on them unpleasant. There is a bad break
in the pavement at the southeast corner
of South Broad and Abercorn streets, and
another on the east side of Abercorn street
near Liberty. Would it not be well to re-
pair these places? If a pedestrian should
stumble over the worn bricks and receive
an injury he would have good ground for
a damage suit against the city.
