HIGHER THAN THE STATUTE.
Unwritten Law in Georgia Applied
To Defense of wifeIy Honor.

Maccn, Ga, Sept. 11.-Charles Reid,

wife, recently shot and killed L. W. Hal
s.ead cousin OF Bfurat Halstead, for
merly OF Ohio, and now of Brooklyn,

unwritten law from the charge of murder.
and VIII serve only three years for
voluntary mauslaughter. On the day
OF the murder Mrs. Reid had been TO the
circus. Returning home, she told her hus-
band that a strange man had forced his
attentions upon her. Her husband in
duced her to accompany him to the night
performances There she pointed the
stranger out, and Reid killed him with a
shotgun.
Reids contention in the trial was that
husband had right TO defend his wife
to the point OF death, and the charge of
Judge FELTON, practically sustained this
view. He said, in part: 1.-The law does
not prescribe any particular time in which
an intention unlawfuIly to take life shal
suhsist in the mind in order to constitute
malice.
IF there was not sufficient time or in
terraI for deIiheratiOn, there could be 10
express malice. The husband and the
wife are one under our laws. The hus-
band has the same right to protect and
defend his wife as he would have 10 pro-
rect aud defend himself.
-'The law permits and VIII justify the
homicide OF another To prevent the seduc.
riun OF the wife, or even to prevent the
committing with her of a single act OF
auuIrery.'
Beid accepted the sentence with good
grace and VIII not ask for a rehearing.

Railway history for 1896.

Among all the statistical publications OF

governmental or private auspices, few, il
any, are looked forward to with greater
interest or studied with more care than
Poor's Manual of Railroads OF the United
states, advance sheets OF the thirtieth an
nual number OF which have just reached US.
In times like these, the years history
OF so important a factor in the economic
life anil movement Of the nation as the
American railway system attains unusual
Importance, as reflecting actual conditions,
agricultural, industrial and commercial, over
the whole face of the country with almost

certainly by the record of railway traffic

Ing Where railway earnings are good 1t
is a pretty safe sign that the people are
making money. 1t requires measure OF
prosperity TO feed the iron horse, an animal
mere apt than most others to eat his head
off on any cessation OF business activity in
the theater OF his roaming.
With these things in view, the story OF
railway progress in 1896, on the whole
is rather encouraging than otherwise.
As presented by Mr., Poor, it shows that in
1896. the miles of American railway oper-
ated aggregated so ,s0I.19 miles, gain
of ,737.57 miles over 1895, or o. 97 per
cent. There was a visible increase of
traffic. In the quantity of freight moved,
it amounted TO 06S, 1888 tons, or 2.40
per cent. Freight earnings increased $26,-
635.h62; passeng earnings. $4,3S3, ,517, i,
ard total net earnings, $9,1 81 ,302, or
3.23 per cent. The total available revenue

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

1t is unfortunate for the men holding
office under the state government in Ohio
that the civil service reform law is not
operative In matters pertaining to the
control OF State patronage. Hannaism has
broken out there in an une expected direction.
Not content with the. enormous corruption
fund sill left in the hands of the national
committee, which as chairman he con-
trols, Hanna has levied an assessment upon
every man, woman and child who holds
position in the State OF Ohio depending
upon the appointing powersof the governor
or any other State official.
The State committee OF the Republican
party, which is in reality Mark Hanna,
has held meeting and ordered that an
assessment OF per cent be levied against
all officials, regardless o how small their
salaries nay be, and with the aid of this
corruption fund Hanna expects to offset
the disaffection that is cropping out here
and there in the State. There would not
be So much objection on the part or those
assessed If they knew just where their
money was to be used. They owe their
places to Bushnell and others ON the State
ticket, but the money is TO be used for
the exclusive benefit OF the Legislative
ticket, 10 make certain thereturnof II anna,
