LIQUOR LAWS OF THE STATE.
Special Acts Invalid Where General
Act Isn't Repealed.

Atlanta. Ga. Feb. 2s.-An important de-
cision affecting the liquor laws of the
state was handed down by the Supreme
Court to-day. Il may mean the nullihca-
ton of all the local or special liquor laws
passed by the legislature since the local
option act of 1883. After the passage of
this act in 1885, a special law was passed
for De Soto, in Sumter county.
G. W. Baeley sold liquor after the act
Of 1895 was signed by the Governor and
was tried ana convicted for that offense
by the Superior Court of Sumter county.
He resisted the law on the ground that
1t was unconstitutional. being a local or
special law enacted after the general law
on the same subject was passed. The
court below overruled this point, but the
Supreme Court sustains it.
In the decision handed down to-day the
court says that as the general liquor law
had not been repealed, the special law
passed for the town of De Soto was I'M
constitutional. On this ground the judg-
ment of the court below is reversed.
This raises a question on a mass OF
special legislation on the liquor question,
and as this decision is applicable TO all
the laws passed since the general local
option act passed. great deal of dry ter
ritory will become wet.

DIES IN A CELL IN DISGRACE.
BOY OF is GOES THE PACE AND
ENDS Up IN THE GRAVE.

EmhezxIed as the Result OF GOinE
with bad Companions While En-
pIoyed as Collector of a Telephone
Company Let Him or
without Prosecution, and He lheh
Turned His Attention 10 Robhtn&

lions.
Atlanta. Ga. Feb 2S.-Henry McElha-
nev. an 1S-year-old boy, who was quite
well known about the city through his
former connection with the telephone eX-
change as collector, died a suicide in
cell at the police barracks tonight about
o'clock.
The young man. whose family live in
Admission and is highly respectable. fell
into the hands of the police Saturday
night. having been caught in the act Of
robbing the cash drawer in the Kimball
House telephone pay station. He had
been carrying on systematic robbery
among the various pay stations of the
city. and was caught by an alarm bell
set in the Kimball House by the tele-
phone company.
Some months ago the young man lost
his position with the telephone company
on account of a defalcation amounting 10
about $50. He was not prosecuted for
this crime, but the lenlency shown him.
instead of proving lesson in reforma ton,
FASTENED his complete ruin, the final act
being the pay station robberies The
company had no suspicion VINO it was
that was rihing the money drawers,
though when McElhaney was trapped no
surprise was felt, as he knew all about
the pay station from having been collec-
tor of the company.
The police claim 10 be in the dark to
account for the possession of the deadly
drug by McElhaney. He was carefully
searched when locked up, and, SO far as
vet disclosed, no one knows who SNUG
gled the morphine phial to him in his
cell.
This morning about 8 o'clock he was
discovered in an unconscious condition by
another man in the cell, and doctors were
called. After several hours he was re-
stored to consciousness, but from his raw
ings it seemed that he had been made
maniac by the drug. All the afternoon he
ehreked and raved until he broke com
pletely down and death came TO release
him.
His body was taken from the police sta
ton to an undertaker's tonight and his
family, notified. After his discharge by
the telephone company for stealing, this
first step being the result of association
with a set of fast young men, McElhany
went by the name of Thomas for a while,
and his family had seen nothing of him
since that disgrace.

who burglorized a pawn shop and held up
fenced to twenty years in the penitentlary.
Some time last night Taylor awoke in lis
cell, and discovered that he was totally
blind. In the court room to-day he was
led by bailiff. Physicians failed to els
cover any defect in his eyes, and subject
ed the negro to a critical examination, but
without showing that he was not really
blind. 1t is thought that he feigned blind
ness in order to have his sentence made
light
Judge FELTON, asked him why he kept
his eyes closed so that he could not see.
Taylor replied that he had a vision in his
cell in Jail, and that the spirit of God APP
peared to him. The spirit of God he said,
was born in on him and he had seen in
the vision an angel standing beside him.
The angel had communicated with him.
and his eyes were closed by the spirit, and
he had been unable to open them since.
The story was told in a most confident
way, and caused some surprise and no lit
tie amusement in court.
