was also re-eiected a senator from Dell

case of father and son being voted
for by the same Legislature to I'LL the
SENATORIAL office. In the Senate he
served on the Committees ON Finance,
Judiciary, Private Land Claims, Lii

CITY COURT ADJOURNED
OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE LA
MENTED THOMAS r. BAYARD.

AND FEW CASES WE'RE HEARD
BY JUDGE BALL, FOREMOST
AMONG THEM BEING THAT OF
EDWARD LEWIS.
But few cases were heard by Judge
Ball at this mornings session OF City
Court.
Edward Lewis, coiored, charged with
assault and battery ON Mary Lewis,
was dismissed on motion OF his coun-
sci, David ]. Reinhardt. Lewis is one
coloTed man who was charged with
rape in the Court OF Oyer and Termi-
ner, the case against him being aIban-
doned by the state yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Relnhardt urged that the crime OF
felony recently charged against Lewis
merged any misdemeanor, and thS
charge now against his client was
clearly a misdemeanor. The jury had
the privilege OF desming him guilty al
his recsnt trial of a felony or had tbs
power Of finding guilty Of a misde-
meanor only. Both charges, however
had been abandoned, and therefore M
moved for the dismissal OF the presen'
case.
The case sf Roibsrt McCar'Ly, a color
ed minister, charged with assault ans
battery on Sarah jackson, was contin
ued until Saturday at THE request OF hi
counsel. Julian c. walker McCart,

The manner In which some saloon
men were detected unintentionally vios
lating the law Is amusing In one in
stance a hotel proprietor requested the
beer wagon driver to tap the keg he
had just placed In the cellar and save
him the trouble of doing so. The driver
complied and he had scarcely left when
a government inspector walked in the
place and upon going down into the
cellar the first thing he saw was the
recently-tapped beer keg with the
stamp intact upon It. the driver having
simply pushed it aside when he drove
the spigot. In another instance, upon
going into the cellar OF saloon
the officer found a barrel already in
service with the stamp eimply torn in
two and placed upon each side OF the
tap hole. Proceeding upstairs his eyee
alighted on an empty cigar box with
the stamp intact upon it. This he
seized. The proprietor OF the place laid
the blame of the cigar stamp upon the
bartender, and warned him to be care
ful in the future. The man evidently
needed the warning, as upon going into
HE place the next morning the boes
found a box Of cigars that had JUS
been opened with the stamp upon &
entirely destroyed

on the case was held Friday, August
26. They agreed that Mr.. Bayard was
suffering from arterio colorosis, and a
general breaking down incident to age.
He suffered very little pain, and his
chief tendency was to sleep.
During the first few weeks of his III
ness, MIR. Bayard was able to sit up,
but as the days passed by he became
gradually weaker, and three weeks ago
HE laid himself ON his bed and never
again rose from it. At times he
would rally to some extent, but the re-
lapse always carried him nearer the
end.
His wonderful constitution, however,
resisted the ravsses Of disease for a
surprising period, and during the past
two weeks he practically lived on it
taking but little nourishment, and GER
tainly not enough to sustain Lire. Dur
ing this time HE was in a semi-con'
scious condition, seldom recognizing
amy of the family, and at intervals
having sinking spells, accompanied by
choking.
These lsft him always weaker, un'
til Tuesday, when it became eviden
that his death was only matter OF
few hours. Still he fingered, having
slight rally during the night, while dur
ing the forenoon his condition s'howe'
little change.
The afternoon, however, brough
with 1t the final scene, for at 4 o'cloc
he began to sink gradually and half al
hour later he gently passed away.
