COURT Must DECIDE
OR GOES BY THE BOARD NOW
An Application for Writ Of Mandate
eub1nitted to Two Judges After
Exposition Of Facts

The application OF Charles T. Deering for
writ Of mandate to compel County Audi
tor Bicknell to draw his warrant for petit
toners pay as a registration clerk. ap-
pointed by the county clerk under authority
Of the board of supervisors, to help In
preparing the supplemental great register,
came up yesterday afternoon before Judges
Allen and Clark. sittin gtogther in De-
partment six.
Deering was appointed on June n, and
worked until July LIST. both days inclusive,
1t the rate of so per month. When SIS
was due him he prepared a demand for
that sum and 1t was approved by the board
Of supervisors, but the county auditor re-
fused to audit 1t and sent it back to the
board Of supervisors. This was all done
upon a plan agreed on before hand in
order that the superior court could deal
with a test case and point out, If possible.
what legal steps the county should take
to get out the supplemental great register
In time for the November elections in the
absence of any specific directions for the
mode Of paying registration clerks work
ing on the supplemental great register,
which must now be published every two
years after the great register is printed.
Attached to the petition of Mr.. Deering
there was an affidavit from County Clerk
Newlin, reciting that the force of deputies
In his office is inadequate to prepare the
supplemental great register, because he
has but inst enough of working force
to attend to the general work of his office,
the superior court and the board of super
visors. The county clerk averred that it
would be impossible for him TO prepare the
supplement as required by law, unless pro-
vided with assistance. On atlantis appli-
cation the board of supervisors had ap-
pointed petitioner a registration clerk, but
he found himself blocked here by the
auditors action in refusing to audit Deer
ings demand.
Deputy District Attorney Holton, who
appeared for County Auditor Bicknell
made answer orally that there was no law
authorizing the appointment of deputy
clerks to be employed upon the supplement-
al register.
Bradner T, Lee, for petitioner and the
county clerk, cited certain authorities tend
ing to show that the board of supervisors.
under certain sections of the statutes, was
empowered to incur necessary OUTLAWS i'm
demanded for the proper gov
eminent Of the county, and not otherwise
provided for in the acts authorizing the
same, but which are mute upon the point
Of compensation.
Mr.. Holton replied briefly, the gist of
his remarks being that the work had to be
done without any doubt, and that what
was really needed was a decision by the
court
The petition was taken under advise
ment and decision will be given today.

ARRESTED AT LAST
Mrs. Shaw Present When the Arrest
ing Officer Arrived

lug OnCeI AITANeO
Mrs. Helen NJ. Shaw was arrested yes
terday by police detective on a warrant
charging her with forging fictitious note
and passing the same upon w. H. Wood
ham. the proprietor of the Woodlawn
lodging house on South Main street. The
complaint was sworn to Tuesday, but the
arrest for some reason was not made until
a day later.
When the officer went for Mrs. Shaw she
pleaded with him to allow her to return to
her home and secure some poison, her evil
dent purpose being to try to end her
misery. Naturally the man of the law
was stern, and refused. The woman was
araigned before Justice Owens in the af-
ternoon, who set her examination for the
21st at p. m. In default of bail she was
locked up. The woman admitted that she
had given the Woodlands a bogus note,
knowing it to have been such, and having
written the paper herself, but she seems
to think that her attorney, H. j. Crawford,
will have an easy task in securing her re-
lease.

disc. cannot account for it in any other
way than spontaneous combustion, caused
by the excessive heat there. Some of the
men there think 1t may have been brought
about by spark. but the heat is sufficient
explanation. I'll tell you what is cold,
frozen-no, mean a hot, melted-fact, and
that is that at Bagdad the people fry eggs
at the expense of the railway company, for
they break eggs in a frying pan and put
that on the top of a rail and IN three min
utes the eggs are cooked; you see so much
heat accumulates in the rails during the
day that they can be used for cooking pur-
poses at any hour. Now, let's see If Prior

That Santa Fe Extension
Recently an evening paper of this city
published a story from an anonymous
source that "a former attorney of the
Santa Fe, who had just returned from the
east" had seen a contractor, who had Sc
cured the work of building an extension Of
the Santa Fe from the terminus of the
Randsburg railway, supposedly to Bakers
field, to union with the Valley railway.
No ex-attorney of the Santa Fe has been
found who will father the story, and moth
Ing but denials of 1t have been induced by
other inquiries Now comes Chief En-
gineer Storey of the Valley railway and
says that he does not believe the story at
all. The Santa Fe, he states, has no sur
veys on which 1t would be safe for 1t to
figure on building such line, and he had
had the repeated statement from the pres
ent management of the Santa Fe that they
did not intend to make any move to con-
meet with the Valley line until that COM
pany had effected an entrance into San
Francisco. He adds, as everyone who has
watched the railway situation knows will
be the case, that some time such an extern
sion will surely be made, but there is no
reason at all for anticipating that 1t will
occur anywhere in the near future.
Notes and Personals
The Santa Fe is making little parks with
sward at all Of it's stations, particularly
those in the desert regions.
The system of water storage reservoirs
the Santa Fe is building along the line in
Arizona and New Mexico are the most
elaborate affairs of the kind in the world,

The Santa Fe is improving its depots and
warehouses at National City, and enlarging

Another venerable case. already tried

jury In Department i've yesterday. The
complaint was originally filed in January,
1894. 1t Is the action Of Lee Seabridge, who
sued Robert McAdam and T. H. johnson
for 5000 damages. On August Is, 1853, Nc
Adam swore to a complaint before Justice
that Seabridge had maliolously torn down
his fence, and the latters arrest ensued
A few days later the case was tried be-
fore Justice Owens and jury, and YER
dict Of acquittal ensued.
Seabridge commenced suit against Nc
Adam and johnson for false imprisonment
the latter for having inst:gated the former.
The case was tried In Department five be-
fore Judge Shaw and jury. and resulted
on May 1, 1894. in a verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. The plaintiff appealed his case
10 the supreme court, which reversed the
judgment OF the lower court and ordered a
new trial.
The evidence yesterday showed tina. the
trouble had been over fence which Nc
Adam had caused to be nailed up whereby
Seabridge and another man were prevented
from gaining access to their corn fields.
They pried on board, but did no damage
to the fence. McAdam had shortly before
bought the land. but he had not bought the
corn grown upon 1t while 1t was in possess

former owner.

BEFORE THELEGISLATURE
MIR. EMERSON SAYS IT IS NOT
NOW NEEDED.
THE TWO FARES DIVIDE THE RACES
Railroad Officials Say Trains viii be Length
eued Without any Corresponding In
c-tase in the Number Of
Passengers.

The ''Jim Crow car law will be fought
vigorously by the railroads when the mat
ter comes before the Legislature.
When the matter was before the Rail
road Commission the railroad attorneys
appeared DESTROYS of leaving the impress
sion that they were in favor of tiff
only the commission would leave the
passage of the law to the Legislature
The commission left it to the Legis-
lature and now railroad men everywhere
are preaching against the law. They
can tell you plenty of reasops-and they
say they are good ones-why the Legis-
lature should not pass an act requiring
separate cars FOR the races.
1T would be a mistake" said Mr.. L.
M. Emerson, traffic manager of the At
lantic Coast Line yesterday. 1.-THE best
way in the world to keep the races sep
arate is to keep the two fares-irst and
second class-that we now have. If you
require us to have separate ems for
white people and negroes it will just SIM
ply double the number of cars We'll have
to run
''But the law would allow you to III
vide car into two parts by wooden
partition in the middle
Eyes, but that would be very unsatis-
factory, and you would find that the ne
groes would not ride in their first-class
compartment. They would go into the
second-class coach almost entirely. AT
least that is the Coast Lines experience
through the black districts of South Car
olina.'
"Have they got a law in South Caro-
lima similar to the one proposed i'll this
Statew
Eyes, but they will repeal it, and with
out any effort ON the part of the rail-
roads when the next Legislature meets.
That is my prediction"
Under no circumstances, as a railroad
man, would you recommend the Jim
Crow car law in North CaroinaY'
''Yes, if we had only one rate it would
be necessity; but as long as we have
two rates it will do little good 1t is
only now and then negro rides in the
first-class car now When he does it is
only some fellow who wants to be smarl
or some one, who, ON account of agita-
ton, imagines he's not getting something
he's entitled to-
In these views Mr.. Emerson is not
alone. All the railroads will oppose the
law when it is proposed, on one ground
or another. The real reason for their
opposition, though, will be that the law
will require them to furnish proper and
sufficient accommodation for the travel
ling public.

FALL OF 1.-THE BEAUTIFUL. !"
First Snow of the Winter Followed b
q Cold Wave

The first snow of the winter fell yes
terday. 1t wasn't much of a snow. bat
it was the first. fall of 1.-THE beautifuI''
this season. The fiakes-mighty small
ones they were-began to fall about 6
O'Clock and kept it up until near Q.
First they came swirling downward
on a brisk South wind; but it was not
long before the air currents had shifted
around and came biting and singing
from the northeast.
Then everybody said we'd have big
snow, but we didn't. Which proves that
everybody is not always right, especially
about the weather.
But the clouds hung threatenin@ly IN
in the sky all day, and the wind gradu-
ally grew sitter and coljer until by
nightfall the ground was freezing and
the wind ysss piping shrilly from the
northwest, making signs crcaking ;nd
almost tearing your overcoat from your
back.
The clouds had now all been blown
away and a full moon shined serenely
down on a city in the grasp of cold
wave-having its first genuine taste of
winter this season.

persons arrested, mal-treated and inn
prsoned.
Article seven charges that the Govern
ar had the Treasurer of the State recog-
nize unlawful warrants for the pay of

paid accordingly.
Article eighth charges that Holden
caused the Treasurer to disobey and dis
regard a writ of injunction forbiddlng
him to pay the troops out of money in

This gives an idea of the nature and
gravity of the charges on which Govern

parchment for the following offences in
any officer.
1. Corruption or other misconduct in
his official capacity.
. Habitual drunkenness.
g. INVESTIGATION while engaged in the
exercise of his office.
f. Drunkenness in any public place.
:. Mental or physica incompetence.
6. Any criminal matter conviction
whereof would tend to bring his office
into public contempt.
From which it will appear that offences
usually considered much less grave than
those cited in the articles of impeach-
ment would have warranted the removal
of an official. There has been no change
in the law defining impea enable offences
