Mr.. Wisdom says:

made it more difficult To treat on the

demands the eviction Of all declared in
truders, and any measure OF expedl-
ency on the part Of the department
that temporizes with the intruder or
postpones his removal Oh mere technl-

Let all the treaties be ! afiercad and al

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS


Judge Robert Powell rendered very
exhaustive and important decision last
week in the case of the Canton Buiia-
ing and Loan Association against klch-
ard Leonard. Leonard had borrowed
Al 600 from the association on his home,
paving therefor 30 per cent. premium
and 10 per cent interest; and after pay
ing monthly dues and interest OF some
thing like 81 POO failed for several
months to make his payments, for when
he was fined quite sum. Leonard
finally rendered the association *oeo lor
what he claimed was due them on hnai
settlement. which was refused, the
claim being $3.50. The property was
then sold under mortgage ana was
bought for the association for sl0O, ana
Leonard was ordered to vacate. Inc
ease was tried before justice court
and went against Leonard, who ap-
pealed 70 the circuit court. Judge
Powell in his decision, declared thai
the ,sociation violated their charter IN
having fixed premium and by the
sheriff's books it was shown that the
:, association had done business without
a license during the time this CONTRACT
was made, thereby annulling the con
v tract; and having violated the pro
d visions of the charter, was convicted .
: usury in interest charges. The cour
n put Mr.. Leonard in possession OF HI
o property. 1t is thought many othe
+ cases will be brought against the asse
citation if Judge Powelfs declsio
at stands. and that this decision Will be
a severe blow to all building and loa
associations in Mississippi.

HUMAN FOOD FOR A GRINDSTONE.
\ Boy Caught III n steam Cylinder
and Frightfniiy Mung'Cd.

Newport, Pa, Dec. 20.-Lawrence
Gardner 10 years old, met with
frightful accident at the Elk Tanning
Company works, on the outskirts of
Newport. last night. While standing
at a steam grindstone his clothing was
caught in n revolving cylinder and
wound or drawn round the shaft. How
many times the unfortunate boy was
whrled round in this horrible manner
is not known. He was found by his
uncle, William Gardner. lying on fire
boxes a few feet distant. unconscious.
Dr. Campbell. ON examination, found
that his right leg had been broken
above the knee. his scalp torn from his
head. exposing the bone. and his left
leg dis}ucated at the thigh.
owing to the critical condition of the
patient it was impossible to make a
thorough examination. He is still alive
hut his death is eXnected. The stone
wall of the mill, which is about twenty
inches from the cylinder, was sneered
with hair and bloch. / is supposed
that the boys head came in contact
with the wall with each revolution.
