NoONs CASE A MIsTRIAL.
He Was Before the Court of Ordinary
on Charge of Lunacy.

on a Charge of Lunacy.
Pat Noon viii not go to the state asy-
lum as lunatic just yet. The jury which
tried him on a charge of insanity in the
court of ordinary yesterday could not
tagree. the vote being six to six, and a
mistrial was declared.
Pat has been in Jail for several months
on charge of forgery, with a chance at
the penitentiary staring him in the face
He is an erratic sort of a boy, and it is
said, at times has manifested many symp-
toms of lunacy. James Mcbride his moth
err, Mrs. Noon, and several others testified
that he had committed acts of violence on
many occasions, at one time inficting
wounds on himself with a razor DIR.
ChfsholmEthe county physician, who has
seen himAm jail, did not think him crazy,
but believed it pretense SO that he could
avoid the penitentiary. These were the
two views of the case taken by the jury.
Mr.. A. A. Lawrence appeared in behalf
of Moons mother, who thought her son
should be sent to the asylum, and Mr.. f.
NJ Oliver represented Solicitor General
Osborne, who was engaged In the trial of
Athe SO'Neat Sullivan case, and who held
that his case should be tried in the supe-
rior court, as he is now under a charge
of felony, which he should not be allowed
to escape through ruse of lunacy.
Both made strong arguments on the tes-
timony presented, with the result that
the jury divided.

A SLEEPER OVERTURNED.
One of the #. G.. and Prs VestibuIed
Cars Down n Bank.


An unusual accident happened yester-
day to the Florida Central and Peninsu-
lars vestibuled train. The damage was
trivial, but the accident was fruitful in
rumors, many of which became current
in the city, shortly after the occurrence
of wreck disaster and brused-up passen-
gers.
The train backed out OF the Central de-
pot on the Central track, as the track OF
the Florida Central and Penlnsular can
not be used at present, owing to the put
ting in of an iron span on the treste over
the Louisville road. The train left at II 80
a. m, backing out, as stated, so as to
reach its own track at the junction with
the Central
When the train had reached the switch
running to the Central wharves, the
observation car Fingal colided with a
car loaded with lumber, being pushed by
a Central switch engine.
The Fingal was overturned and slid on
It's side partly down the embankment
The coupling held, and had to be cut IN
two with a cold chise. before the overturn-
ed car could be disconnected from the
rest Of the train.
The damage was confined to the obser-
walton ear. It's rear end was battered up
and some Of It's plate glass windows were
shattered, though not as many as might
have been expected.
The officials do not know whom to blame.
II there is any blame for the accident
should attach. or. " so, they do not say.
The passengers, while shaken up. were
uninjured, as the vestibule was barely
moving at the time Of the accident.

sMALL's TRIAL TOMORROW.
The Petit Jurors All Dismissed Until
That Time.

All of the petit jurors of the superior
court have been discharged by special no
that was to have taken place to-day has
been postponed.
Abe Smal,'s trial for the murder of Po-
liceman Neve will come up tomorrow, and
no doubt a pretty full jury list will be
needed to draw from. Since jurors have
been getting caught for two or three
days at a time on murder trials there
has developed a startling amount of OPP
position to capital punishment, which, of
course, relieves a juror from serving on
such cases.
The chances are. however, that it will
not be quite so hard a matter to get jury
to try Small, as there is no particular
prejudice in the case ON the part of the
average juryman.

ALLEGED MoONsHINERs RELEASED
Fourteen of Them Turned out of
Jail

Fourteen alleged moonshiners were re-
leased from custody by Judge
Speer yesterday, two of them being
first tried and acquitted. The cases put
on trial were those of j. j. Lenox and
Steve Smith of Mitchell county. who were
charged with operating. working in a still
and furnishing raw material for making
spirituous liquors. They were defended
by Mr.. Walter c. Hartridge of the firm of
Kenan & Hartridge.
There was some testimony with regard
to one of them having taken a barrel of
syrup to point in the woods for a man
by the name of Watson, and when ques-
toned about it the defendant admitted
the fact. but said Watson told him he
wanted il for family use. The still with
which some of these parties We're said to
have been connected appears to have
been a sort of a joint stock concern in
which several were interested. but il was
run on a rather small scale. and the cases
seemed quite trivial in their nature. This.
no doubt, as much as anything else led
the jury to acquit the defendants.
The cases against twelve Others were
then nole pressed, and they also were
released from custody The others are

ty. b. +. Haywood, r.. g. McAlpin, II. c.,

Nay, it shall not be so,
Many a precious memory 'rouno IL

OF the days of long ago.
OH children Of the loved ones, passed

Into the silent land;
Children of dear ones, who have Joined
immortals
In the heavenly band.
Hear We, not voices from the past i'm
plore you,
To stay the vandal hand
The sad, sweet voices that have gone
before you,
Into the promised land?
OH sons and daughters, strong and
steadfast-hearted,
Keep you the old house yet
The dear old house that sheltered the
departed,
Out of the Spoilers net.
OH guard and keep 1t as sacred
treasure
Bequeathed by loving hands,
Stay modern vandals, and let no man
measure
The lot wherever it stands.
Interest on some palatial mansion ris-
Within the ancient bound;
In lust OF luxury some scheme devils
To rae it from the ground.
How thick the memories round the old

When it's old timbers came,
How busy hands around the lot would

To At the ancient frame!
Watched with suspicion by the dusky

The Fathers built apace,
In strength of God they felt assured

And oft hath died away among the
rafters
The hymn at evening time.
Have you no memories of the noise and
clatter
OF sturdy boys at play!-
No memories OF the girls guileleSs

Its walls are hallowed by its consecra-

To service of the Lord,
BY those who brought unto an erring
nation
His message and His word.
Sons and daughters, let it be your

To keep the house secure,
In memories of your fathers do not

TOM REEDS ARGUMENT AGAINST
HANGING.

did you ever hear Tom Reeds argu-
ment against capital punishment"
asked an attorney. 1t was over in
Topsham. during Toms undergradu-
ate experience at Bowdoin. "a dea-
con had argued that Whose sheddeth
mans blood, by man shall his blood
be she'd The Mosaic law didn't hit
young Mr.. Reed, so he jumped up and
drawled: Surprising, sir. We take the
law which the gentleman has quoted,
and see where the logical deduction
would bring us out. For instance, one
man kills another. and another man
jumps in and kills the man who killed
the first, and so on until we come to
the last man on earth. Who is going
to kill him? He can't commit suicide.
1t is contrary to law. for the same law
forbids il. Now, deacon, what's the
last man going to do? Must he wait
until he is struck by lightning?'"
The logic was unfair, but it won the
debate. "-Lewiston Evening Journal
