MAYOR POOL DEAD.

Again are we called upon to
paw a last tribute to another OF
our best and leading citizens.
Surrounded by the comforts OF
life, the head Of a happy family,
a high official i'll the admins
tration of our city's govern
ment, respected and loved by
all classes of our citizens, May
or Charles G. Pools "sun went
down while it was yet day
it went not down behind a
cloud, but melted into the pure
light of Heaven.
Judge Pool was 81 years OF
age, was born i'll Pasquotank
county, and his life, with the
exception of a few years, has
been spent within the confines
of Elizabeth City. He died
Wednesday morning, the nth
inst, leaving an afectionate
wife and two grown sons.
In politics, he was one of the
leaders of the Republican party
of the First District, and has oc-
cupied some very high Offices,
having at one time occupied
a seat upon the Superior court
bench afterwards he received a
Presidential appointment, that of
Secretary of Consul to Brazil,
serving only a short term, he
having to resign on account of
i'll health.
At the time of his death
and for several years prior
thereto, he was Mayor of our
town. He was fair, firm and
prompt in the enforcement of
the law, and the general express
sion of sorrow prevailing i'll our
midst, is an indication of the
very great esteem III which he
was held.
But we must say farewell to
our friend. The solemn tones
Of all the bells in the city yes
terday afternoon voiced his fu>
neral dirge and tolled to its eter-
nal rest the lifeless form of our
departed friend.
The funeral service, COM
Quoted by Rev. L. l.. Williams,
took place at $3.50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon at his residence On
LewrenCe street, after which his
remains were taken to the old
homestead in this county, six
miles below Elizabeth City, for
interment. Amid the unbroken
silence of the old family burying
ground, awaiting the dawn of
the resurrection, III undisturbed
respose he sleeps meath the dust>
covered lid of his coffin.
Panied as we are at his disso-
luton, let us not mourn without
comfort and consolation
For the valley of death was brighter
Than the hills of life he trod,
And the peace that fell Oh his spirit
Was the calm, deep peace of God. J"

ERNST PUT OUT.
He Lasted Only Twelve Rounds With
Jack EVerhardt

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-Jack Everhardt. OF
New Orleans, knocked out Billy Ernst OF
Brooklyn, in the twelfth round at the Broad
way Athletic club tonight. The men were
announced to go fifteen rounds at 1877 pounds
The announcer said that If both men were on
their feet at the end OF the fifteen rounds
there would be no decision rendered and
that the merits of the men would be left to
the opinion Of the spectators. He added that
up to the end of the fifteenth round the men
would box subject to the decision of the
referee.
The first three rounds were rather tame
ana caused the crowd to shout derisively, and
It displayed much discomfort that Tom
ORourke entered the ring and said This
VIII go to decision If the referee will decide
It, This vague statement seemed to paci-
~ the sports, and the fourth round went on
after two minutes interval. The fourth
round was very little better that the pre-
cedlng ones, but the boxers warmed up a.
little toward the end of the round, as the
men were led to understand there was no
purse In sight unless they fought "for keeps
Ernst landed a hard right uppercut n the
stomach in the early part of the fifth round
and Jack put In two half hook blows on BiIIy's
face. -'
In the eighth round Everhardt broke Ernst's
nose, and after that the Southerner had the
Derer OF the mill. In the twelfth Everhardt
rented with his left and crossed his right on

was unable to get up, and was counted out

OPPOSED TO CURFEW,
Points Against the Much-TaIked of
Ordinance
To the Editor Of the Globe.

To the Editor Of the Globe
Dear Slr:-As "curfew is prominently be-
fore the country, permit me to say that 1t is
the humble opinion of the writer that there
is far better way than to borrow laws from
the dark history of the still darker past
There is not the least doubt but that the mo-
t1ves Of those who favor such a law are
prompted from an honest desire for the good
OF society. The same may be said of Saul
the prosecutor of the early Christian church :
and also of those who conceived the inQuisi-
ton. When will men be convinced of the ut
ter utility of attempting to make men moral
by civil enactment? 1t never can be done
1t never has been DONE as all history testi-
fies. The disposition of the present day, to
go back into the dead past for precedents in
restraining the evil tendencies of the age
by legislation, is an omen Of mischief The
motives may be correct, but the theories are
all wrong, and the logical result will be ruin.
There is better way. Let the philanthropy
list seek by milder means than the terrors of
the policeman's club to find the better side of
nature In those whom they would seek to
save by the "curfew." And let Christians
everywhere lay hold upon the only power that
is equal to the occasion, namely the power
of the Gospel Of Christ. That Gospel has lost
none OF its power, and If the church does not
have 1t, evidently there is something wrong
with the church. Now, if we do not have the
power of the Gospel which is no less than
the power of God with us, let us seek 1t by
humbly turning to the source of that power.
And let all unite In a general crusade against
the evil sought to be cured by the "curfew."
Let the united voice Of the clergy arouse
slumbering parents to their responsibility.
Let the united voice Of the clergy arouse
awakened against street walking by the
young after night fall; so much that no re-
spectacle young person. would be willing to
be seen upon the street at such an unseen
ly hour except with proper escort. And let
there be organized crusade of friendly visit
ing with the young who make this general
practice and with the parents of SUCH And
let these visitors take Christ with them in
LOST
and it will soon be found that there will be
such revival of old-time religion that there
will be no need of a curfew to restrain the
young. -- III. c. Phelps

FATHER AGAINST SON.
Unusual Mortgage Foreclosure Suit
in Court.

Felix Labord Sr. has begun an ac-
ton in the district court to foreclose
a mortgage given by his son, Felix La
bCrd Jr. The alleged failure of the
son to comply with the conditions Of
the mortgage, one of which was that
he would provide a house for and sup
pert his father, is the cause of the ac-
ton. The parties defendant are, be-
sides Mr.. LabOrd Jr., his wife, Ciserie;
and Napoleon Labord and his wife,
Parmena.
The complaint of Mr.. Labord Sr. al
leges that on March Is, $685. the plain
tiff decided certain property in Ram
sey county to his son and his sons
wife. on condition that they would
feed, clothe and support the plaintiff
during the rest of his natural life, and
provide a good, respectable house for
him to live in with themselves. III
lieu thereof, should the plaintiff SO
elect, the defendants were to pay him
an annuity of $500, payable in semi
annual inStallments of $50 on Sept.
and March / of each year during the
rest of his life. The complaint also
alleges that the defendants agreed to
keep all taxes paid on the land and
to pay one-half Of the interest and
principal promptly on mortgage on
the said land Of $500.
The complaint further sets up a
mortgage given by Mr.. Labord Jr. and
wife to the plaintiff to secure full per-
Torrance Of the foregoing agreements.
The agreement provides that, in the
event of the foreclosure of the mort
gage by reason of default or neglect
of the defendants to perform the fore
going agreements, the sum agreed to
be due under said mortgage at the
date Of foreclosure, over and above all
delinquent taxes, costs, attorneys fees
and disbursements, shall be $1,000.
In conclusion, the complaint alleges
that the defendants have failed to pay
any Of said interest and taxes and has
made default in the payment of the
$50 installments Of said annuity, be-
coming payable after the plaintiff had
elected to accept such annuity. 1t is
also alleged that the defendants like
wise failed to provide for or support
the plaintiff or furnish him a home,
and for more than two years have con-
tinually failed and neglected to pro-
vide the plaintiff a house and main.
tenance, in conformity with. the pro-
visions of said agreement. Plaintiff
elected to take the annuity Sept. l.,
1895, and claims that 500 is now due
him on that account.
The plaintiff demands Judgment for
the foreclosure of the mortgage and
that the amounts due him be ascer-
tanned and adjudged by the court, in
addition to the sum of 81, 900 stipulated
in the mortgage.

ESCAPE OF BELANGER AND M'DON-
NELL FROM SALTWATER
AROUSES SUSPICION.
EAST ST. PAUL PATROLMEN,
CLINED TO DOUBT IT'S ORIGI-
NALITY,
ROBBER OF A SWITCH sHANTY
Who Did Not Serve His Como Sem
tence, the Basis of Their
Belief.

Incidental to the statement which
was made in connection with the recent
escape from the state prison of Be
LANCER and Mcdonnell, that it was the
first that has occurred since the inau-
guration of Henry Wolfer as warden of
the Saltwater penitentiary, the G | o b e
has information which leads to a be-
lief that the Belanger episode is not
only not the first, but may be only one
of many which have occurred in the
last few years.
The board of managers of the state
prison is accustomed to pay a reward
of $50 for the capture and return of any
fugitive prisoner, and while the re-
wards to be paid for the return of Be
LANCER and Mcdonnell may be the first
to be passed upon by the board since
the beginning of the Wolfer regime, the
G o b e is not SO sure that they are
the only escapes which have taken
place.
1t was since the regime of Wolfer
was begun that a young fellow Of
rather prepossesing manners and some
affability pad a casual visit to a
switch shanty in East ST. Paul one
night The approach of a train neces-
stating the departure Of the occupant
of the shanty for a few minutes, he
returned to find his overcoat gone. The
police were at once notified by tele-
phone, and within a few hours man
wearing a coat of the description Of
the one stolen was rounded up by the
officers Of the Margaret street station.
The coat was identified, and the fellow
was sent to the workhOuse.
On arriving there it was found that
his underwear was not only Identical
in style with that furnished the prison.
ers at Saltwater, but that 1t was
stamped with the number, as are all
the garments furnished the convicts
at the ST. Croix city.
Superintendent Fitzgerald, upon dis
covering this fact, at once inquired Of
Saltwater if a man had been lost,
such being the gentle word by which
the fraternity of prison officials dis
cusses escapes" Saltwater replied at
once affirmatively, and on Superintend-
ent Fitzgerald's inquiry for the fugi-
tive's number, gave the figures CORE
spending with the number on the shan
ty thiefs undergarments. The Como
sentence was never served, needless to
say.
Two officers of the Margaret street
precinct filed an application for the re-
ward of $50 for the capture Of the fugi-
tive, but it was never paid, nor has
the G l o b any information to indi-
cate that the escape was ever reported
at all to the board of managers.
