through the breaker rollers used to
break the coal into small sizes and sus-
tanned injuries which may prove fatal.
The rollers are about four inches apart

cape with life after passing through
breaker rollers was heretofore un-
known. krammCs had permitted q
large piece Of coal to pass through the
guard bars into the rollers and the roll
ers became stalled. He then lifted up
the trap door and stepped upon the coal
and with few blows with pick broke
the lump.
The rollers began to run and Kram-
mes was drawn through them. He was
found below in the schute unable to
| move. being paralyzed by the squeeze
he sustained. Tie was taken to the
| state hospital at Fountain Spring where

The biennial discussion in the House OF

them being shouting controversy bet tween
Messrs. Bowers and Talbert
The latter offered an amendment inereas.
ing the monthly salaries of head farmers
at Indian agencies, and declared that every.
body got something in the bin but the
farmers.
Both gentlemen are excitable and have
good lungs, ard both declare they have
followed plough over stumpy land.
The gentleman has much to learn

much for me TO learn. But then I'm
different from the gentleman from South

EXCISE BOARD ESJoISED.


Temporary Restraining Order Served
in the Matter Of Donnelly's License.
The bill in equity, filed about two months
ago by Hon. John W. Foster, John W.
Thompson, and L. II. Painter. through At
torney Nathaniel Wilson, for an Injunction,
against the excise board TO prevent the
issue OF a wholesale liquor license to
James DonneIly, a grocer, at the corner OF
Fourteenth ana / streets northwest, but
which was withdrawn for reasons not then
given, was again filed yesterday. and
temporary restraining order was served
upon Chairman johnson and his collea CUES
OF the board in the afternoon. The order
is returnable on Wednesday, the 26th in
stant.
This suit has resulted from a contention
OF several years standing. The residents
OF Fourteenth street, in the vicinity OF Mr..
Donneliy's store, are seriously opposed TO
the granting of license to anybody in that
neighbUrhood. and have opposed favorable
action upon all applications. There is a
bar room in the same locality. and that and
Mr.. DOnnelly's establishment have been
granted renewals under that clause OF the
law that renders il unnecessary for the pro-
prietors TO obtain the consent of the ad-
Jacent property owners, after once receiv-
ing the majority of the signers to an orig
inal application.
The board holds that there is no discretion
conferred upon them, and in this view they
are upheld by the law officers of the Dis
trict.
Those who protest against Mr.. Donnelly's
application, however, contend that in 1894
he permitted his license to lapse, and that
therefore he forfeited his privilege of re-
newal.
The papers now in the hands OF the ex-
else board, including the protests, have been
three times in the hands of the attorney
for the District, and he has finally to de-
fend the board in court.
