Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1899-05-17

1t is objected by those opposed to
the Railroad subscription that it
will be unconstitutional to contract
a District debt which added to the
town and Independent School Dis
trict debts will make more than 5
per cent Of the total taxable proper
ty in the town or School District.
The best lawyers who have examined
this question deny the assertion,
and no authority can be quoted to
sustain it. Each Of these political
bodies or corporate entities may con
tract it's own debt not to exceed IN
the aggregate five per cent but no
one Of them by contracting debts to
its full constitutional limit can
thereby prevent all the others from
contracting debt. # this were not
so then Greenmont with its IS voters
might bond itself to its full limit Of
per cent for streets, light and wa
ter, and then not dollar Of County
Indebtedness, or of School District
Indebtedness could be created BY
the County or District in which it
is located, no matter how great the
necessities of the County for bridges
court house or jail, or of the dis
trict for school houses. The greater
would be entirely at the mercy Of
the lesser, or the first to contract
debt would exclude the other. The
proposition is too absurd to discuss.
But even more absurd is the asser
tion that il the subscription is voted
1t will be void as to Morgantown,
and as to the Independent District,
but binding on the rest of Morgan
District. II void as to any, it will
be void as to all. 1t will be a debt
that cannot be divided or appor-
toned. If binding on any it will be
binding on all. But if Morgantown
and the Independent District could
escape payment of their part, then
the subscription would at once be
void as to the rest of the District
because it would be in excess OF the
5 per cent Of its taxable property
prohibited by the constitution. If
the Railroad Company is willing to
build the road upon void subscrip-
ton let it do it. Don't take so much
pains to protect the road, or you
may frighten it out of the notion,
and scare it into the belief that the
subscription is "no good"

VIII Postpone Trials.

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. ll,-Nune of the
prisoners in the Wardner bullpen are to
be tried at the present term oil court in
this county. The only trials that may
occur in connection with the riots OF April
last will be those of the seven prisoners
who recently escaped from the bullpeu,
and their trials, OF course, depend upon
their recapture, which seems highly i'm
probable as the days pass by, and no clues
are unearthed.
no other trials is not officially given out,
but is admitted by Prosecuting Attorneys
forney and Borah, Judge Stewart, who is
holding court, State Auditor Sinclair and

DREYFUS WAS FOUND GUILTY
A SENTENCE OF TEN YEARS.
Text of the Judgement-He Was Con-

Vote Taken sepeoately--The Counsel

Rennes, Sept. 1.-THE text of the iudg-

doors, the president put the following
question: "ls,ALsed Dreyfus, brevet cap.

court OF cessation OF June 8, 1897 The
Votes were taken separately, beginning
by the inferior grade and youngest III
the last grade, the president having given
his opinion last. The court declares on
the question by a majority OF five votes
to two, yes, the accused Is guilty. The
majority agreed that there are extenuat-
ing circumstances, in consequence of
which and on the request OF the commits
sary OF the government, the president put
the question and received again the votes
in the above mentioned form.
AS result, the court condemns, by a
majority of five votes to two, Alfred Drey.

The pent-up feelings of the audience

"Oh!" when Colonel Jouaust reached the
word guilty The word was pronounced
under his breath. Owing to the threat
of vigorous punishment Tor uttering any
cry there Was no outburst, but the faces
OF the majority OF the spectators reflected
an expression Of surprise. NJ. Labori

Hearn,s v-.a Imagination.

Many years ago Lafcadio Hearn was
reporter on the staff of a Cincinnati
newspaper. One day famous steeple
climber was going to scale the spire Of
the cathedral to repair the cross that
topped the spire 900 feet above the side
walk. The afternoon he first scaled the
spire thousands of people watched him
breathlessly as he slowly made his way
up the outside of the steeple. Of course
he was interviewed. and he said boast
lngly that the task was SO easy>S1at> ne
could just/as well carry a man up ON
his back.
That noon Hearn said timidly to his
city editor that he had read of the
steeple climbers offer and would be
glad to ascend the spire on his back.
The editor tried to point out to Hearn
the peril of the thing, hut he would
not listen. Finally the steeple climber
and Hearn arranged their end of the
feat.
At the appointed time Hearn mount
ed the steeple climber shoulders, and
the dizzy journey began. Tens of thou
sands of people watched the foolhardy
pair. At last the cross was reached, and
Hearn left his perch on the climbers
shoulders The mob in the streets be-
low cheered, and then the two men re-
turned to the ground safely.
Hearn went back to the office and sat
down and wrote two columns of story
describing his sensations, and the glo-
ries of the view he had obtained from
the steeple top Such glowing de-
scription Of city seen from great
height has never been read before or
since. The most interesting thing about
it was the fact that Hearn was SO near
sighted he could not see FIVE feet beyond
the tip Of his nose. San Francisco
