ment-one for riot. one for assault with
Intent To kill. and one for disturbing,
said congregation. One of the defend
ANS was found guilty on TWO OF the
counts, and the other TWO, the APP
pei,aris. on the last count only. The
cniiri imposed upon each of the de-
PENDANTS a fine Of $780, and conilne-

one Year at hard labor. Two OF the
G..frnda,.ts APPEALED.
Ina court says:
1nr only remaining question TO be
ccusi5ercd Is the ihlrd.-whether there
WAS error OF law In imposing the same
sentence upon each OF the three de-
IcnLanls. IT Is rot pretended that .ne
circnit judge exceeded the prescribed
limits &C punishment for each or any
Of the offences charged in the ndict-
ment. and as long as he keeps within
those limits. the amount of the pun
ishment imposed III any given case is
purely discretionary With the circuit
judge. Such discretion is to be meas
urcd by the circumstances of each par
ticular case. and this court has To
means of ascertaining whether sucn
discretion has been properly exercised
-certainl not in the case now before
the court, for the ease" does not dis
which the alleged offences were COM
mitted. The complaint of the two ap-
pellan.s who are prosecuting this aP-
peal is based entirely upon the fact
that, while they were convicted of only
one of the offences charged in the in
dctment, the punishment imposed up
OIL them was the came as that imposed
upon the defendant Sheppard, who was
convicted of two of the offences
charged in the Indictment and this,
it is claimed, shows that the sentence
imposed upon the defendants Seay and
Rawls lis manifestly inequitable and
unjust" and sis excessive and cruel"
We do not see that this necessarily fol-
lows. 1t might with equal propriety
be said that il shows that the punish
ment imposed upon the defendant
Sheppard was altogether inadequate:
and OF this the appellants Seay and
Rawls would have no right TO COM
plain. But. as we have said. we do not
know. and have no means of ascertain
ing. what was the conduct OF each OF
the several parties upon the occasion
in question, while the circuit judge did
have before him all the facts and cir
cumstances attending the conduct OF
the several parties, and was therefore
in e much better position to award Che
proper punishment TO each OF the Of
tenders; and we cannot assume. in the
absence Of any evidence as to these
matters, that the circuit Judge abused

A better plan has been adopted
by the faculty of the University for
signing diplomas this year than
that heretofore used On previous
years the entire faculty as well as
the members of the Board OF Regents
have been accustomed to attach
their names to all diplomas. AS the
average professor and the average
member of the beard are not orna-
mental penmen, this did not always
add much TO the appearance of the
sheepskin.
DIPLOMAS will hereafter be signed
by the President of the University,
the dean Of the college in which the
graduate takes his degree or his
graduating class officer, and any
member of the faculty whose name
he may desire to have on his diplo-
ma. A committee from the Board
Of Regents will also sign for the

SIR-In obedience to your order Of the
18th instant, / have TO report the follow
ing as the statement by Lieutenant
Commander Hodgeson of the converse
ton between Rear Admiral Schley and
himself during the action of July 3,
1898.
He states as follows:
LAS we We're approaching the Spanish
ships | heard Admiral Schley say port
or starboard several times TO Captain
Cook. IL the coming tower, the admiral
being on the platform surrounding the
coming tower. | had been on the
bridge above, and was just coming
down to report the position of the ships
when | heard tie admiral say, Hard
aport. The Maria Teresa was then
hauling abaff our port beam.
.srhe Brooklyn was heading about
northeast. | told the admiral, or at
least suggested to him, that the Texas
WAS very close on our starbOard hand,
and that turning to starboard would
bring us too close to her. | don t know
that / used the word collision. l did
not say yea mean starboard.' | in
tended hnn to understand there was
danger of running into the Texas. He
said all rigat, or words to that effect
Il cannot repeat verbatim. When |
knew he was going to turn to starboard
suggested backing the starboard en-
CINE IL order TO make smaller circle
and give the Texas a wider berth, but
he decided against that as decreasing
the speed OF tae turn. He did not say
that / know of we are near enough to
them {the Spamards) already.

what he sale. Was that if we turned to
port we should get SO close that we
should expos ourselves to torpedo at

boats, and replied to hiIn tnat had not

pipes have been laid under the coal
bins of Sencindiver & Stewart and
preparation is now being made to
cross First street. After crossing
First street the sewer will be laid un-

only have to- be laid short distance
before the terminus will be reached.
In laying the sewer under the coal
bins the workmen had to work al
night. They were not allowed tc
dig across the road leading to the bins
in the day time, as it would conflict
with the business of the proprietors.
