Mexican and wounding woman, SIS

and scattered or drove out the crowds
gathered on the cross streets, most of
them taking refuge under the river

UNITED STATES COURT.
Right of Exemption Under Waiver Be
 fore AT other Judge.

The right of exemption under waiver in the case of bankrupt was again raised in tho United States court yesterday in the matter of Mrs. Liddie Bates, petitioner, Judge Swayne declining to pass upon the question in view of the fact that Judge Bruce. the regular district judge, had al- ready. rendered an opinion.
 It will be remembered that in the Golden case Judge Bruce held that the right of exemption could not be claimed against a waive note in bankruptcy petition as far as the assets of the petition were con- cerned.
 Since the decision was rendered several visiting judges have held special or ad- journed terms of the court, having been sent here to clear the dockets, and with the hope of getting contrary opinion the question has been brought before each of them
 Judge Toulmin of Mobile, who was here several weeks ago, refused to pass upon the matter, although he openly stated that he disagreed with Judge Bruce. Judge Swayne, while not intimating his views. also declined to take the question up, stat ing that as far as this court was con- @cerned the question had been settled, and the proper place to settle the soundness of the ruling was before the court of ap- peals.
 The case of Mrs. Annie Carney vs. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, growing out of the Cahaba river wreck, will be taken up on Monday.
