There were three surprises in the
city court this morning and one IN
the chiefs Office when four prison
ers we're discharged. George II.
Kennedy was charged by Officer
Lyons with being drunk. He was
found in a helpless condition IN an
alley. After his arrest Officer
LYONS found that the man lived in
the adjoining house but could not
pet in as his wife was absent. lie
was discharged and then expressed
a willingness to take the pledge.
Willard Raikes, colored, was
charged with disorderly conduct.
The Deputy City Solicitor asked
that the case be dismissed and then
Raikes expressed his willingness tc
take the pledge to abstain iron the
use of liquor. He intends to reform
and that 1900 may have no trouble
for him.
The third surprise was in the
testimony in case OF alleged
breaking and entering a store. The
principal witnesses were comrades
of the prisoner. A young man
named J. Stroud was a general sur
prise when he was taken to the
chiefs office and told that he could
go home.
Isaac Siscoc, colored, was charg'
ed with breaking into the store OF
Daniel e. Fleming in the night
time. Fleming testified that he
keeps little store at Fourteenth
and Thatcher streets. 1t was
broken into on the night before
Thanksgiving and tobacco and
candy were taken that were valued
at $l.2S. The store was closed
about s o'clock and next morning
he discovered the window was open.
On the previous Sunday night Sis.
coe called at his house and asked
him for five cents. After the shop
had been robbed Siscoe disappear
ed from the neighborhood. Daniel
Fleming. son Of the previous wit.
ness, testified he discovered that
the store had been robbed. lie
later found three tobacco bags.
Walter Benson, colorcd, testified
that he knew Sscoc and that he did
not receive any Of the candy from
him. Wesley Benson testified he
saw Siscoc on the night the store
was robbed. The ease was dis
missed. Fleming informed the
court that the witnesses had not
been talking straight, They all
run together and it is hard to get
the evidence.

majesty'S government could no longer
agree to legislation respecting the
franchise and resolutions respecting
representation in this republic, and,
finally, by your note of Sept. 25, 90,
which broke OF all friendly CORES
pondence on the subject and intimated
that her majesty's government must
now proceed to formulate its own pro-
posals for final settlement.
\ New Violation.
This government can only see in the
above intimation from her majesty's
government a new violation of the
convention of London of 1854 which
does not reserve to her maiesty's gov
eminent the right to uni-lateral set
Element of a question exclusively do
nestle To this government and which
has already been regulated by this
government. On account of the
strained situation and the consequent
serious loss and interruption of trade in
general, which the correspondence re-
Spectng the franchise and the repre-
sentation of the people of this repuh-
lie carried in its train, her majesty S
government assumed the right to de-
mand an early settlement, and finally
pressed, by your intervention, for an
answer within forty-eight hours, de-
mand subsequently somewhat modi-
fed Your note of Sept. 18th was
replied to by Il note of this
government on Sept. 18th, and reply
was made to your note of Sept. 18th
thereafter. further friendly negotia-
lions were broken OFF, this government
receiving the intimation that propo-
sal for final settlement would shortly
be made. Although this promise was
once more repeated, that proposal, up
to now, has not reached this govern
ment. Even while this friendly cor
respondence was still going on, in
creasing numbers of troops, on large
scale. were introduced by her majesty S
government, these troops being sta
toned in the neighborhood of the Dor
ders of this republic. Having regard
to occurrences in the history of this
republic. which it is unnecessary here
to call to mind, this republic felt
Obliged to regard this military force in
the neighborhood of its borders as
threat against the independence of the
South African Republic, since it was
aware of no circumstances which
would justify the presence of such
military force in south Africa and in
the neighborhood of its borders. In
answer to inquiry in respect thereto,
addressed to his eXcellenCy, your high
commissioner this government re-
ceived, to its great establishment, a
yelled insinuation that demonstra-
ton from the side of the republic was
being made against her majesty's col
onies, and at the same time myster-
ious reference to possibilities whereby
this government was strengthened in
it's suspicion that it's independence was
being threatened. AS a defensive
measure this government was, there
fore obliged to send portion of its
burghers in order to offer the requisite
resistance.

WATER IN STONES HEART.

A remarkable pebble, which was
picked UP somewhere In Egypt, that
land Of dark mysteries. is In the pos
session of well-known lapidat on
Twelfth street, near Walnut, The
stone Is translucent, and ut casual
glance looks like an ordinary Beashore
pebble It Is about half the size Of a
walnut and oval In shape. When the
stone Is held TO the light It's remark
able popularity Is beheld Inside Is a
drop of water that circles about tho
interior. How 1t ever got there Is n
mystery that nature alone could solve.
The surface Of the stone Is perfect.
The pebble is only interesting as
a curiosity, but many wealthy institu-
