Body of Unknown Negro Found on the
 Railroad Track

Leway at once summoned a jury and held an inquest over the body, and dilligent search and inquiry were made trying to get some information that would lead to his Identification, but nothing was found on or about the body that would furnish any clue.

RICHARDSON FINED
 A SECOND TIME
Given $lOO for Having Screen
 in Front of His Place.
POLICE HAD NOTIFIED HIM
On Saturday That Screen Must Be Re- moved - Attorney Weaver Argued That Clause of Ordinance Was
 Unconstitutional-Ap

w. D. Richardson, who keeps a saloon in Twentieth street between Second and Third avenues, was fined s1OO in the police court yesterday for again violating the Sunday saloon law. This time his offense consisted in having a large screen on the inside of the saloon, so as to obsrruct the view of the bar from the street.
 Such screens are expressly prohibited by the new Sunday closing law, and Judge Feagin said that the council must change it if they do not want it enforced; hence he imposed a heavy fine of $l0O. Attorney Weaver, who represents MT. Richardson, has appealed the case to higher court, however, the appeal bond being fixed at $50.
 Officer Brown, who arrested MT. Rich- ardson, testified to the fact that the screen was in front of the door so as to obstruet the view of the interior. Chief Austin testified that MT. Richardson had been notified in person on Saturday, that he must have the serene removed by the next day and on all following Sundays, and that he had no reason for being ignorant of the law.
 Did Not Understand the Law
 
 son did not fully understand the law, and that he had not intended violating 1t. MT. Weaver also argued that that section of the ordinance which prohibited screens in saloons on Sunday was illegal because this offense was not specified in the caption of the ordinance
 Judge Feagin, however, in deciding the case, said that the constitutional provis- ion to which MT. Weaver evidently refer red applied to the framing of laws by the general assembly, and not to the framing of city ordinances; that legislators were supposed to know more law and to be more careful in getting up their laws than were aldermen. He held that the provision in the ordinance was good one and fined MT Richardson accordingly.
 According to the provisions of the new ordinance, a saloonkeeper forfeits his license the second time he violates the Sunday law, but nothing was said about this in court yesterday morning.
 It was not John Richardson who was arrested, as was enormously published yesterday. He has been out of business since 1893.

contains the following sad news;
Miss Sallie Dixon, aged IS, OF this

by taking strychnine.
When the poison had begun to af>
feet her she called her parents and

boring farmer, as the man who had
accomplished her ruin. She was be-
trayed under promise OF marriage.
She died twenty minutes after tell
ing her story, and before medical as
sstance could be summoned.
When MIR. Gofigon heard Of the
suicide, yesterday afternoon, he told
his brother, who was at work with
him, that he also would end his life
before morning. No attention was
paid TO the threat, and he was adj
vised to remain at home and sur
render to the constable, who had
been notified. But about night,
when his people discovered that he
had left the premises, g. search was
made. They found his dead body in
u small inlet about three miles from
his home. A rope had been fasten-
ed tightly around his neck and one
end tied TO post on the shore, pre-
sumably to prevent his body from
being taken out into deep water al
