CHRONIC HYDROPHOBIA.
Judge Lee Has a Horror of Water as
Beverage.

Judge" J. f. Lee. who was released
from the county Jail at o'clock, after
paying IS for having been intoxicated
last night, was in Jail again at l1:3O on
the same charge. He had evidently
consumed an entire pint of bad whisky,
meanwhile. for he had the empty bot
tie
He was arrested in a house on kan
sas avenue near First street where he
had wandered in and gone upstairs.
He had laid down on the bed beside a
sleeping colored baby and one arm was
laid caressingly over it while the ven
cradle judge snOred-
He was too intoxicated to know his
name and was not awakened in being
taken to the station.
His gold watch was found on the
other side OF the room.
Lee is an unfortunate in that he
seems utterly unable to resist the de-
sire for drink of some sort. He Graves
everything but water and JaIer Hop
kins who has had experience with him
declares he would drink ink if nothing
else were handy.
Last night he found a bottle of Hni-
ment in the main cell and it was only
by the interference of other prisoners
that he was prevented from drinking
it.
JaTer Hopkins says that at one time
last year when he was in jail sick he
was to be given quinine. Instead OF
swallowing the capsules whole he
chewed them and finally insisted on
emptying them in water as hot as he
could stand it and drinking it in that
way. 9l%
Lee never knows how much money he
has. He said this morning that it
seemed to him as though he must have
81 or 50 to his credit. The real amount
to his credit was over $40.
Il think the best thing we could do
with Lee" said Sergeant Ellison,
would be to fine him the entire amount
of the money he has with him and all
pawnable valuables, and hold them un~
til he is ready to leave town, and then
remit them"
Lee was aned s. again this morning.

ANOTHER ORDER IS GRANTED.
Walter Henry Gets Out An Injunction
Before Judge Furches

The immaculate election law now in
force in North Carolina is at least Civ
ing the lawyers and courts something to
do these hard times, and that seems to be
about the only merit it possesses.
Walter Henry was the last man to get
out an injunction proceeding before a
Supreme court Judge. He came to
Raleigh on Wednesday night, reaching
here at , o'clock, and leaving at g. But
these four hours were long enough for
him TO wake up Judge Furches and get
the following order:
1T appears to me that there has been
an unlawful interference with precinct
No. 2, Pineyille township. Meckonburg
county n. c. and that the saote polled at
that precinct in the election held on the
3rd of November 1896, should not be
counted, and added to the vote of said
county as a part thereof. therefore, ]. NJ.
Morrow, clerk of the Superior court Of
Mecklcuburg county, is commanded to
appear before me at chambers in the Su-
preme court building, Raleigh, n. c..
III > o'clock, y. m, on the 7th day of No
vember, 1886, and answer the foregoing
affidavit and show cause, if any he has,
why said vote should be counted and add
ed as a part Of the legal vote OF said
county. and that the said Morrow. as
clerk aforesaid, is hereby enjoincd and
restrained from counting and adding t.
the vote of said precinct until the hearing
Of this matter and further order Of the
court
II appears, according to the Charlotte
Observer, that John Alexander, colored.
was appointed register for precinct No.
, Of Pineyille township, he being at that
time as alleged by the Democrats resi-
dent of Steel Greek township, whereas
the election law requires that the regis
trars shall be qualified voters of the
township for which they are appointed
All the colored voters in the township
were registered by Alexander alone.
neither of the other registrars being pres
ent when the colored voters were reg
istered, while on the contrary. all three
Of the registrars were present when the
white voters were registered. On chal-
enge day all the voters that had been
registered by Alexander aloneewere chal-
lenged upon the ground that Alexander
was not a qualified registrar. and tha5
therefore all the registrations entered by
him were illegal and void On trial day
the challenges were sustained by the
judges Of election, and the names were
erased from the book
1t may be added that the vote Of pre-
cinct No Of Pineylle township was
so in favor of the Democratic ticket and
none for the epublcan-Populist ticket
If, therefore, the vote is thrown out It
will only affect the election of Mr.. Cobb
as register of deeds and Mr.. Spratt as
county surveyor
