SINGULAR MlSHAP.
A Young Lady accidentally Steps
Through An Open JVindo,C.

Thursday night Miss Eta Irwin was one
the guests at hop in West Union.
The entertainment was given in the
third story of building.
There were three windows in one end
of the room, two of them opening onto a
fat roof, the other being unobstructed to
the street below.
Some refreshments had been placed on
the roof in question, and Miss Irwin
thought she was stepping out onto the
roof.
Unfortunately she mistook the window
and fell a distance OF about twenty six
feet.
Messrs. Frank Barley and Harry
Holmes of this city were present, and the
latter carried the young lady into the

When they left for home she was still
alive but unconscious, with very little

A few days ago Mr.. Lon Patterson, a

New Orleans.
The coin was perfect upon both sides,
the milling as keen as the day 1t left the
die; nor had corrosion shown any effects
upon it.
The singular feature, however, consists
in the fact that both sides OF the coin had
become uniformly convexed, the thick.

three times that of the edges.

MEAT OF THE MATTER.
Synopsis Of the Decision la the Free
Turnpike Case.

THE LEDGER has already stated that the
Court of Appeals has dissolved the in.
junction sued out by Mr.. Charles b.
Pearce and others, seeking to prevent the
collection OF the tax necessary to main
tain certain turnpikes free Of toll in
Mason county.
1t now gives a synopsis Of the opinion
Of the Court, rendered by Judge Hazel.
rigg, towit:
The principal question involved here is
whether the local act of March, 1886, en-,
titled, "An act to provide free turnpike
roads in Mason county" is yet in force
or was repealed by the new Constitution
and subsequent general acts.
/. An inspection of the fragmentary
legislation on the subject involved adopt
ed since the new Constitution shows an
utter absence of legislative intent to pass
a comprehensive law on the subject, and
to hold these acts repealed the former
legislation would be to disturb the legisla-
tive meaning in furtherance of mere
supposed Constitutional policy.
9. The propositions of the Constitu.
ton Section so and subsections) in re-
spect to local and special acts look to fu
ture legislation of that class, and IL it be
conceded that its policy affects past local
acts. in any degree, still the schedule
keeps alive all legislation notinconsistent
with the Constitution.
3. The local act involved here is not
inconsistent with any provisions OF the
organic law, and no general legislation
has been enacted embracing its leading or
essential features. The mere failure OF
the Legislature to do this is not evidence
that there was to be no local law on the
subject-that is. the failure OF the Legis-
lature to act does not of itself operate as
repeal Of past legislation.
4. The original local &C, 18th section)
required its submission TO a vote OF the
people. The repeal of this section in 1890,
did not operate to repeal the whole act.
g. The Fiscal Court WAS created by
the Constitution to take the place of the
former Court of Claims and Levy, and
may lawfully carry out the local act as
the old Court might have done.
