REPORTED FROM COURT,

Voluntary intoxication is held, in
Harris VS.. United States Cd. c. App,
&c L. r. A., 4G5, to be neither an excuse
nor palliation for the crime of murder.
In note on this case a great num-
Der of authorities are compiled on the
question:; What intoxication will ex-
cuse crime? ?"
An ordinance renewing the restric-
tons on the location and width of an ell
evated railroad, which had been made
by former ordinance, is held, in Tu-
dor VS.. Chicago & South Side Rapid
Transit Railroad company Qn.), SO L.
+. A. 379. to be applicable to pending
proceedings for condemnation of the
right of way.
A suit to cancel invalid county war
rants was unsuccessful, in Ada county
VS.. Bullen Bridge company (Idaho), SO
/. Il. A. 367, on the ground that rem
edy provided by statute to compel the
holders of the warrants to wage their
claims on them or else abandon them
was an adequate remedy at law, which
rendered the suit in equity for cancel
lation unnecessary.
Power to exercise the right of emil
nent domain for the relocation of rail-
road rs held, in Busby VS.. Kansas City
NJ. & b. r. company Miss. sc l.. r. A.
sol, to be not implied merely because
the relocation would avoid payment of
damages for injuries to lands and crops
by flood water caused by prior i'm
proper location. A note to this case re-
views the authorities on the right to
relocate a railroad. The case itself
overrules a decision in AZ Miss. 555, and
says: ''The opinions found in that
volume are the ulterances of tribu-
nal appointed by the military satrap
who had ruled in PROSTATE common
wealth, and have no other binding au-
thority upon us than that each case
therein must be regarded as res ju-
dicata."

Good Advise to the Negro.

In an address before the African
Methodist Episcopal conference at Lit
tie Rock, which represents the oldest
and one of the largest church organiza-
tions in America among the colored peo-
pie, Bishop Derrick, learned colored
man, referred to the duties of the
negro in the following sensible lam
guage: THE man in the ministry in
this conference who will not study will
have to look for another job, because
we do not intend to tolerate longer the
blind leading the blind. We must learn
to be law-abiding citizens, and not up
hold criminals among us; a criminal is
criminal, let him be black or white,
and should be punished. If negro
commits a crime let us not try to hide
it by saying that he should be pro-
tected because us poor colored folks
have such a hard time but assist in
bringing him to justice before the law
of our land. Learn also that there is
no such thing as black badness and
white badness, but badness is badness
and goodness is goodness. Let us seek
an opportunity to make an honest liv-
ing and build up our native land. Re-
member at all times that this sectional
feeling should not cross our minds. Do
not say anything against the southland
to create public sentiment against that
part of our country, because # the south
is doomed, so will you be-"

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
CONFESSED AND WAS LYNcHeD.

Henry Phillips. a Mississippi County MUIR
derer. Pays the Penalty with His Life.
Henry Phillips, negro murderer, was
taken from the Jail at Osceola by
mob and lynched, the hanging taking
place shortly after midnight in the pub
lie square. The crime for which Phillips
paid the penalty with his life was
most cold-blood one. On the night of
November @ the store of Thomas Nc
Clanahan, at Buffers Landing, was en-
tered and robbed, and McClanahan, who
slept in the building, murdered, his
body being literally hacked to pieces
with an axe. Phillips, who was seen
in the vicinity on the evening before
the murder was committed, fed to Mem
phis, and he was suspected of the crime.
He was soon located and arrested. when
he made f'-ll confession to the Mem
phis police, duplicating another negro
named Vincent. Upon being turned
over to the sheriff of Mississippi county
by the Memphis authorities, Phillips
babe his child and the woman who had
accompanied him to Memphis farewell.
saying that he knew he would be
lynched. The mob that took the law
into their own hands numbered in the
neighborhood of 100 men. and were
mounted, riding to the jail four abreast.
The sheriff was compelled at the muz-
zle OF shotgun TO surrender the keys.
Phillips and his alleged partner in the
crime were seized and placed in
buggy, and the crowd marched to the
place of execution. citizen made
plea to the mob to spare Vincent, as
there was some doubt of his guilt, and
none of the stolen plumber was found in
his possession. Vincent was then re-
turned to the Jail. Phillips made
statement, confessing his guilt. and
requested the mob not to shoot him
after hanging him. Phillips was told
that his last request would be granted
and after swinging him to the limb of
tree the mob dispersed.

Federal Grand Jury Report.

The United States grand jury for the
western division of the Eastern district,
after session of four weeks, submitted
its final report to the court at Little
Rock and was discharged by Judge Will
Jams, who commended the jury for its
efficiency The report shows the Jury
examined 2l6 witnesses and found 104
true bills of indictment, as follows:
For retailing liquor without paving
special tax therefor so; illicit distilling,
80; passing counterfeit money, 6; MAX
ing Illicit stills, 8; mailing obscene lit
erature, 2; making moulds for counter
felt money, 1; obstructing process of
United States court, l. intimidating
witnesses, 1; secreting and embezzling
letters, l. obstructing United States
mail, 1; forgery of endorsement on
money order, /; illegally removing spir-
its from registered still, L; violation of
section 1892, 1; conspiracy to interfere
with revenue officers, 1. Speaking of
the difficulties experienced in procuring
evidence against certain class of vio-
lators, the report says: SIN a majority
OF the cases embracing Illicit distilling
and the unlawful sale of the products
of these illicit stills, the grand Jury
have been confronted with witnesses
who, while testifying to their knowl-
edge of such violations, did so under
great embarrassment, feeling and know
ing that the fact that they mad so testi-
fed placed their persons and property
in jeopardy; and the grand jury believe
that it is due to such witnesses that the
authorities of the government charged
with the enforcement of the laws in
these cases should at once enter upon
vigorous prosecution of this class of
offenders. The evidence produced to
the grand jury shows that there are
still very large number of persons en-
gagged in thus defrauding the revenues
OF the government about whom this
grand jury were unable to obtain suffi-
Gent testimony to indiet, and we would
recommend that all possible diligence
be now exercised by the officials en-
trusted with this service"
