Charges Against the Grocers Dis
missed-Other Police Court Cases.

The oleomargarne case came up In tht
Police Court yesterday morning before
Justice Crutchfield. but all were dismiss
ed because his Honor could not be satisfied
from the evidence that deception had been
attempted by coloring.
Four well-known grocers were summon

by these charges 10 test the law enacted
by the last General Assembly. The law
does not forbid the sale OF oleomargarine
az such, but prohibits the sale of il when
colored and thus made TO appear like but
ter 1t was not at all shown that the mer-
chants had attempted any deception. and
. consequently, all the cases were promptly
dismissed.

by Policeman G. NJ. Johnson as suspi-

security In 500 for ninety days.

NOT TO HANG TO-DAY
JUDGE CARDwElL GRANTS WRIT
OF ERROR IN THE HITE CASE.
EXECUTION IS, THEREFORE,, STAYED.
The Supreme Court Will Have to
Pass on the Question of New
Trial, and May Not Do So for Some
Time.

George Hite, the convicted murderer OF
William Bowers, who was TO have been
hanged at Mecklenburg courthouse to-
day. will not pay the penalty Of his crime
just yet Judge Cardwell, of the Supreme
Court of Appeals, yesterday granted a
! writ of error and supersedeas in his case,
and his execution is indefinitely post
poned.
Hite, who was convicted some time ago,
has through his counsel. Mr. Charles 7.
Reeks. made desperate fight for liberty
| and life. The Governor declined, after
| careful consideration, to interfere in his
| case. and he then resorted to the Supreme
| Court. 1t was shown that one of the
| jurors who sat in the case in the lower
court was not OF age, and on this Judge
Cardwell, who came to Richmond yester-
day from his home. in Hanover. to ex-
anime into the case granted the wit
which stays the executioner's hand.
Judge Cardwell's endorsement on the
papers is as follows: writ of error and
supersedeas awarded but not to operate
to discharge prisoner from custody"
DOES NOT DECIDE HIS FATE.
As soon as this endorsement was made
Clerk Taylor wired 10 Mr.. Reeks that his
client was temporarily saved from the
gallows.
This does not, however, necessarily mean
that he will not eventually be hung for
his crime, or that he will be given a new
trial. The Supreme Court will yet have
TO pass upon the matter, and 1t may or
may not reach the conclusion that Hite
should be given another trial. IT is also a
matter for speculation as to when the
case will be taken up by the court. 1t is
now In recess and will meet next in
stanton on the 9Th OF September. The
case. If considered then, would have to be
removed from the court in Richmond to
that In Staunton.
In any event Hite will not be hanged
for some months TO come, and he may Sc
cure a now trial.
ALL OVER TEN CENTS.
The case is quite a revolving one. Hite,
who Is white man, became involved in
an alteration with a negro named Will |
liam Bowers over the payment OF 10 cents. |
and the negro getting the better of the |
financial transaction, Hite laid for him, |
and with a double barreled shotgun kill |
ed him. He was subsequently arrested, |
tried, and convicted of murder in the first |
VI Site anu SeiIlenccu 10 De ndnseu To-Day. |
he carried his case into the Circuit Court, |
but that tribunal declined TO interfere, and
his only hope, after the Governor declined |
to interfere, was the Supreme Court.
All preparations had been made for the
hanging to-day. The gallows upon which
Isaac Paylor the wife-murderer expiated
his crime about two months ago, is still
in the jail-yard at Boydton, and
all the appliances are also at hand. At
me time Hite claimed not TO want a new
rial. but of late he has seemed confident
IF securing one. He has never shown any
'emOrse.

The Broad-street Bill.

Billy Van owned the laughter of the
crowd at the Broad-Street Park pavilion
again last night, and he told the large
crowd a bunch of jokes that played havoc
with the rislbles OF his hearers. and made
solid his existence among them as a
favorite. Van cannot claim all the APP
plause. for he follows two Of the most
original and up-to-date acts any one
could want TO see. Flatow and Dunn,
especially Miss Dunn, have found In their
black face one-act comedy mint that
coins laughter for the crowd and applause
and encores for them, while Misses Me-
1ntyre and Peak are nightly becoming
stronger favorites by their clever per-
Torrance upon banjos. and the doll and
other songs of Miss Leila Mcintyre are
making the pretty singer dear 10 every
body. Harry Taft shows you what an
expert whistler he is. and Gallager, and
Evans knock each other about the stage
doing dialogue OF witty quibs.

The Passengers Became Excited

me seven passengers on a street-ca,
crossing Mayos Bridge Monday night had
an experience that aroused a good deal OF
excitement among them, according ~
what one of the number told a Dis1atcb
reporter: The bridge is undergoing re-
pairs, which made it necessary 10 trans
ier the passengers a distance of some
ieel. when the Richmond bound car
started those on it, according to the Dis
2atchs informant, experienced a sensa-
non ike the weakening of the bridge.
Mr' julius Baker president of the
Mayos Bridge and Land Company. was
seen YESTERDAY and asked about the mat
ter. He said the persons on the car must
surely be mistaken about the weakening
OF the bridge. The men are working each
night now putting in 11-4-inch sub-rods
IN place OF the old S-4-inch rods. and while
this was being done the cars are not al
lowed to pass. There was no danger M
all he said, and really the bridge was be-
ing made stronger than ever before.

NO BRITISH GUNNERS
with Dewey-stntcment I'm Answer
TO Cunninghame-Grah Nj

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The United
states Government is prepared to answer
the inquiry of the British Government
as TO the truth of the statement made
by Mr.. Cunninghame-Graha a former
member of Parliament Of eccentris repu-
tatlon, that the gunners of Dewey's ship5
in the battle Of Manila Bay were British
seamen, bribed to leave her Majesty's SER
vice. Mr.. Cunninghame- Graham said tina,
GlOO month was offered each of these
gunners for his services. and that
through their presence on the American
warships Dewey's victory was made nos
sible. Nobody here believed that the
British Government would pay any at
tention 60 Mr.. Cunninghame-Graham
demand for an investigation. but since
London press dispatches say that the
inquiry will be made, the Navy Depart
ment has prepared a statement on the
subject. This statement which was
completed to-day from the muster
rolls Of Dewey's squadron, covering the
date Of the engagement with the Spanish
fleet, shows that Of the ,4i5 men on the
American ships only 81 were aliens. and
Of these only were British subjects.
-Four Of the Britishers were OH the Olym-
pia and on the Raleigh. Not one of the
eight is a gunner. They were ordinary
seamen, carpenters mate a coal passer.
and water tender. Thirty-one Of the
81 aliens were Chinese mess attendants
and cooks. These 81 are the men in
whose behalf Admiral Dewey has recon-
mended a special provision of law to
enable them TO become American citizens

SCORE TO SETTLE WITH sAGAsTA,
Spanish Prisoners mt Portsmouth
VIII Seek Vengeance.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., July 19.-An in
dication of what may DO in store for the
Spanish Government when all the SOL
diers and sailors now prisoners of the
Yankees get back TO Spain is afforded
by the bearing Of the officers and men
from Cervera's fleet, now confined on
Seavey's island.
They are breathing vengeance against
Sagasta and the Cabinet, and lay all the
blame of their present condition on the
government.
Wait until we get back TO SPAIN" they
say. Then we Will settle the score"
This is not the talk of common sailors
alone. The officers Of Cerveras fleet
when here expressed the deepest resent
nlent against Sagasta and their home
government generally for ordering them
to leave the harbor OF Santiago when
there was no chance OF their fleet es-
Gaping humiliation.
They assert that Cervera's plan Of cam
paign was TO land all his 1900 men and
all his machine guns and use both TO the
last in defending Santiago. This plan
would have pleased the officers Of the
feet better than being ordered out in the
face of an enemy who was certain to
destroy the ships Thus 1t came about
that when they left the harbor they COM
mended their souls to the Almighty and
cursed the Government OF Spain in the
same breath.
