PECULIAR CASE.
Col. John R. Beasly Sues Chief Justice Snod-
 grass For Damages.

Special to The Age-Ileraqd.
 Chattanooga, Nov. 16.-The case Of Col John R. Beasley vs. Chief Justice Snodgrass of the Tennessee supreme court, is on trial here. This is suit for $5OOO damages, occasioned by the shoot ing of Col. Beasley by the chief justice two years ago.
 The evidence shows clearly that the shooting was without cause, as Bessley is an old and decrepit man. Col Beas- ley created considerable excitement by refusing to testify as a witness upon his oath. He made an elaborate argument in his own behalf and aired his religious views.
 He is an infdel, and was allowed to make statement to the jury without being sworn. However, he insisted upon the jury being sworn and observing the ancient custom of kissing the book.
 By his action In refusing to swear upon oath, it is thought Col. Beasley will lose his case.
 Chief Justice Snodgrass is a member of the court where. his case will be ap- pealed. Beasley was disabled for life by Snodgrass, and brought into court the bones extracted from his arm, where the bullets entered.

In the first the regulars scored only twice and this by the hardest kind of work.

6MU6GLER MOUNTAIN MINES
Still Burning, and Hundreds of People For
 Fifty Miles Around Idle.

Aspen. Col. Nov. 16.-Although the management of the Smuggler mine, which has been on fire since Sunday, ex- press every confidence i1 their ability to control the situation within short time, and claim that material progress has been made during the last twenty four hours the outlook, as viewed by the peopla of the camp, and especially these whose support depends upcn the mines cn Smuggler mountain, is any, thing but cheering.
 Today not a mine on Smuggier noun tain is being worked exc: :pt under the most disadvantageous circumstances. Over 600 men are idle, and many cthers will be laid off in the next few days un- less the fira is extinguished.
 In all fully fifty miles of workings have been abandoned.
 There have been no fatalities as yet, but there have been scores of marrow escapes, some of which border upon the miraculous.

Since his advent in the capital the deceased was actively identified wih the legal professor and soon became a prominent member of the local bar os- sociation.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Henry N. Obear, of the firm of Obear & Douglass of this city, ded at his residence here today. The Masons have taken charge of the remains and will conduct the fun eIad services at the Scottish Rite Temple tomorrow afternoon. The demise was not unexpected as MT.

 MT Obear was born in Fairfield coun- ty, South Carolina. When yet a boy he enlisted dn the army of the confed- eracy and served with distinction during the last two years of the war.

 Refugees continue to return to the city in spite of the advice of the physicians to the contrary. The board of h-alth confess there is small danger in return- ing, but it is acknowledged that persons returning are more liable to contract the disease than are those who remained here. The city is rapidly gatting down to business, however, as is evidenced by the large quantity of ccltton being hauled in from ahe surrounding country. Lowndes county alone contributed oysr 200 bales yesterday.

LONDON's GOVERNMENT TOO LARGE
And the Remedy He Suggests Was Smaller Mu- nicipaties Which, He Promised Would Be Looked After by Parliament

London, Nov. 16.-A great mass meet ing was held tonight in the Albert Hall undsr the presidency of Earl Cadogan, lord lieutenant of Ireland, at which the principal speaker was the premier, the Marquis of Salisbury. No fewer than eight thousand persons were present, and the entire assembly rose at the en- trance of Lord Salisbury, cheered him to the echo and sang For he's jolly, good fellow"
 Lord Salisbury, who seemed in the best of health and spirits, and who spoke with great animation, said 'the situation was not destitute of clements of appr5 hension either at home or abroad" Speaking of foreign affairs, the premier sa3d the government had not yielded to France in the matter of Siam, Tunis or Madagascar. Turning to home affairs, he said the government of London was a question which must be solved, and could only be solved by gsving to other and smaller municipal ities "a large part of the duties now per formed by the London common council. He promised that the government would introduce legislatio on the subject at the next session of parliament.
 "The present system," said his lord ship, lis due to the modern passion for bigness of things and is too unwieldly." He asked his hearers to look at what had been done across the ocean.
 Do you want to be governed Nike New York? Yet the result there, which was watched With so much interest and which so many people deplore, is adopt ed after an effort to amend admitted err rorkin in the municipality by increasing it's area and bringing a much vaster population under its range. The under taking has failed lamentably, because it could not obtain the assistance and cooperation of the only class of men by whom municipal institutions can be satisfactorily and thoroughly governed"

A Violation of Contract

One of the most important chapters in fhe fight for dollar gas is looked for at the next meeting of the city council
 The council may convene tonight, or the meeting may be postponed until Thursday night to await the return of Mayor Evans.
 The charge that the gas company Is violating its contract every day has been made and substantiated. and the rep resentatives of the people can but take scrne ac.ion.
 That the contract is being broken can not be disputed. When the company charges $1.s5 for gas it knows 1t is vio- aating its contract.
 There is another phase to this ques- tion. Is there any stipulation in tte gas company's contract to the effect that 1t can charge meter rent outside of it's gas rate? This is just what the gas company is doing every day, A patron must pay meter rent if he misses using gas month.
 A consumer may use $50 worth of gas every month and if he misses one month he must pay meter rent. Is this justice? Is it according to the gas company's con- tract wish the city?
