DEPOSIT FOR COSTS.
Point in Trial by Jury Before Ju.tic.
of the Peace.


The alleged unsettled question as 10 the
right of justice of the peace in this Dis.
trict to require a deposit for costs from q
party demanding a trial by jury before him
bids fair to be carried to final conclusion
in the case of VIM. Kilmon against Charles
D. Pirtle, now pending before Justice OF the
Peace Mattingly. The plaintiff, through
Attorney Wilton J. Lambert recently sued
the defendant on an account before Justice
of the Peace O'Neal, and the defendant,
through Attorneys Brice and Prentiss. took
a change of venue, demanding a trial by
jury. Upon hearing of this motion Mr..
Lambert contended that the Supreme Court
of the United States in the case OF the
Capital Traction Company against Hof, de-
-cided in April last, had reversed the ruling
of Justice Hagner, made I'm February. in a
similar case in which il was held that tho
plaintiff must answer for all deposits Mr.
Mattngly ruled in favor Of the plainfiff and
denied the motion, whereupon the defend
took a continuance until the 18th instant
in order that test case might be made IN
the upper court by certiorari or mandamus
II Is commended by many Of the justices OF
the peace and attorneys that the ruling of
Justice Hagner was based upon the theory
that justice of the peace jury was COM
mon law jury, and such a mode of trial as
is guaranteed by the seventh amendment ia
the Constitution without restriction, but
that as the Supreme Court shortly after
ward declared this not TO be a common law

UNREST IN SAMOA.
Natives Are Far From Satisfied With
Condition of Affairs.

Vancouver, B. c.. Sept. S.-Advices
from Samoa are that, pending the final
decision Of the three powers, the Sa-
means are in a state of uncertainty
The commission informed the Samoans
before leaving that the Berlin treaty
is still in existence; so is the office of
chief justice. They had no power. to
alter or change these, and Chief JUS
tice Chambers left on his own accord
They had no control over him. =
The natives claim that if the Berlin
treaty is still in force,-then they have
autonomy and will proceed to elect a.
supreme chief, avoiding the title. of
king. 1t is rumored that the Mataafa
people are proceeding ON that presunlp-
ton now and meetings are being held
for that purpose. This is in contraven-
ton of the recommendation of the COM
mission.
These same people take exception to
control being in the hands of a foreign
governor, and that final appointments
of different. governors of provinces HE

foreign judges -adjudicate upon matters
concerning Samoans, although in the
provinces they are to have their own
judges and magistrates, but they OBJ
ject. to the supervision of foreigners.
They dislike foreign judges visiting
their provinces to try cases between
foreigners and themselves, and assert
they can do this themselves.

made to upset the recommendations of

HOLIDAY FOR THE CIRCUS.
NJ Ike a Pilgrimage to
Elephants Grave.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
In beautiful cemetery in the quaint
city of Charlotte, n. c., there is a grave
covered with velvety sod, like, hundreds
of other graves in the cemetery, but
distinguished. from them all by the
unique monument which adorns it. The
marble shaft has carved upon it the
name of the dead man and the time of
his death, but upon it also is engraved
a huge elephant, sculptured with strik-
ing fidelity To the casual Das5er-by
the old sexton sometimes relates the
story of the marble elephant, and tells
of the touching ceremonies which take
place once a year at this grave.
Every Cincinnatian remembers old

which he was responsible for the killing
and manning of many men, but we'll

his bones are now inferred beneath the
grassy slopes of the Geological Garden.
Many years ago Robinson's circus was
paying it's annual visit to Charlotte.
The railroad journey or some other
cause had stirred up Chiefs fiendish
temper, and when the sullen brute was
let out of his car. the lust of Staying
was upon him. King, his keeper, was
leaning against the side OF the car.
Chiefs little eyes cleaned fiendishly as
he saw him, but with almost human,
intelligence he displayed no other sign
Of rage Slowly and carefully he saun-
tered over until he was alongside the
keeper, and then. with
one vicious lunge, he crushed him to

order and arrangement. A table pre-
pared for seven or eight was often
compelled to have about il fifteen or
sixteen guests. When this pressing diff
hculty was overcome. a deficiency of
knives and forks. plates and glasses
succeeded. The attendance was in the
same style"
Sir Joshua never minded what he ate
or drank, and never recommended the
fish or venison. He left every guest TO
scramble for himself. But he was at
tentive to what was said by any one
of the motley group, composed of peers.
bishops, physicians. lawyers, actors.
musicians. men of letters and members
of parliament. The singularity of the
services and the disordsTly arrangement
of the table served to enhance the hill
arity of the guests. Even DR.. John
son, who appreciated a good dinner.
came there for a good talk rather than
for what he might eat and drink.
At O'Clock precisely dinner was
served whether two or three lords had
arrived or not. But during those fes-
tive hours all the guests were all peers,
and were as d;sputatious and vehem-
ent in argument as lawyers in a trial.
An anecdote related by Northcote, the
artist. who was a pupil of Sir Joshua.
shows how turbulent the guests often
were. Dunning, the eloquent and witty
lawyer, happened one day to De the
first guest to arrive
well Sir JOSHUA" he asked. and
whom have you got to dine with you
today? The last time / dined at your
house the assembly was of such sort
that / believe all the rest of the world

RUMoRs OF CONSPIRACY.
Plot Unearthed In Paris For the
Overthrow of the Republic.

New York, Sept. S.-A correspondent
of the Tribune in Paris writes: The
government is believed to be in posses
sion of yoluminous documentary evil

nationalist and royalist plot to over
turn the republic. and there is every
indication that President Loubet will
apply the constitutional law of 1875
This provides that the senate Gan be
resolved by a decree of the president
in council into a high court of Justice,
TO try offenses against the security of
the state. The Investigations that have.
been conducted by NJ. Fabre, the ex-
aiming magistrate in charge of the
case, have already resulted in the dis
coyery of compromising documents In
Paris and at Caem, which are said 10

ence of the plot. notwithstanding the
efforts of the nationalists, royalist and

BENTHEIM TELLS MORE TALES.
Further Information Regarding the
Theft of French War Secrets.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. S.-Charles z. Ben
theim, who claims to have, up to two
years ago, been connected with the Sc
cret service of the German war office,
and recently, in an interview, stated the
manner in which the French war Office
secrets and other information regard
ing French arsenals and Notifications
reached the German war office, today
gave the name of the consul at Some
burg under whom Floreschultz was
employed.
Mr.. Halsey was consul at Sonneburg
during the time that Alvy Floreschultz
was vice consul said Bentheim. but
the former was absent most of the time
on account of the health of his wife.
do not think Mr.. Halsey knew any
thing of the uses to which Floreschultz
put the office. l met Floreschultz, then
United States vice consul at Sonneburg
in Berlin. at the staff headquarters,
koenig Graetzer Straase, in company
with Franz. They had many interviews
with Captain Siegel, at which no United
States official business was discussed
but number of plans for circumvent-
ing those French officers who were not
in the espionage scheme were decided
upon. This l know, because / was
present.
M. Whelps, Low in Kansas, was not
consul at this time, and he could know
nothing about it.
This Siegel is the Captain Siegel who
was one Of Germany's representatives
at the recent peace conference at The
Hague"
Mr.. Bentheim stated that German
postage stamps were used on all the
United States consulate envelopes, the
same as ordinary mail, as it was known
that the official seal of the consulate
would not carry them without postage
in a foreign country.
