Mount Vernon, n z, Nov. 26.-John
Melin, the proprietor of a little inn on
the Sleepy Hollow road, near the Sum
mer home of John D. Rockefeller, at
Pocantico Hills has unexpected trou-
bic confronting him. Norman Plass.
the superintendent of the anti-Saloon
league of Greater New York, has begun
proceedings in the supreme court to
have Melin's liquor license revoked, on
the ground that he has violated the law.
Justice Marean today appointed ex-
District Attorney Plat of White Plains
as referee to take testimony.
Melin denied all the allegations. He
recently inherited a fortune of $780, 900
from a relative in Sweden, and he pro-
poses to fight the case. It is asserted
that the efforts of Mr.. Rockefeller led
to the action of the saloon LEAGUE.

DEATH OF ALBERT POWELL.

1t is with peculiar sadness that we
chronicle the death of young Albert
Powell, which occurred at three o'clock
this morning and was due to a COM
plication of diseases. Two weeks ago
ne had severe fall from the express
wagon; and his sufferings from this un-
fortunate accident were aggravated by
subsequent attack of dengue fever,
accompaniedby by convulsions or spasms.
ALI that human hands could do or hu-
man skill devise sufficed not to stay
the cold hand of Death; neither did the
yearning sympathy nor the imploring
love of aching hearts add aught to the
waning strength of him whom God bad
claimed; he passed away in the
beauty of his early manhood like a
flower broken from its stem, just when
its life seemed to be most fragrant to
those around it. At-this fatal thresh-
old the philosopher ceases to be wise
and the songs of the poet are silent.
For those who mourn his departure, it
is only left to accept what no earthly
power could avert, and to realize that
what they know not now, shall be
made known hereafter.
Peace to thy bright young spirit, Al
bert, and may we meet again.

Chas. e. Grafton, whose name is
linked indissolubly with much of
Brookhayen's history, was born in
1860, and has lived in this city
since 1881. At that time, he COM
menced his business career in the
drug store of T. T. Meade; and, after
ward, when the firm was changed, re-
mained with the well-remembered es-
tablishment of Meade Il Martin until
1891. Mr.. Grafton is now at the head
of the c. E. Grafton Drug Co., incor-
porated with an authorized capital Of
$4,000 "Grafton's Drug Store" en-
joys the confidence of this vicinity and
country for miles around. The head
of this firm is also a member Of the
Brookhaven Ice Manufacturing Com
pany.
Outside of business affairs and in
terests in which Mr.. Grafton, like all
other enterprising men, is engaged,
and which are generally conceded to
be actuated and impelled by selfish
motives, or desire to promote ones
own material welfare, Mr.. Grafton has
manifested, in many ways a decided
public spirit and deep concern in
the present welfare and future pros
perity of our town and people. He is
wide awake on all subjects Of public
intenterest. OF strong individuality,
independent in thought and deed,
when once convinced Of the justice OF
a cause, his opinions and decisions
always meet with profound re-
spect and consideration, and in mat
ters OF common report if "Charlie
Grafton said SO" the matter is at once
settled, and fixed as the truth, as un-
alterably as the limitations OF human
kind permit.

GRAND JURY REPORT.

The Grand Inquest Furnishes
Some Interesting Reading to
County People in it's Fi-
nal Report.
The grand jury made its final report
Monday and was discharged. The re-
port is given in full below and will be
found interesting:
BRooKHAvEN, MISS, Nov. 10, 1900.
To Hon. Robt. Powell, Judge of Circuit Court
for 9TH Judicial District, presiding at Brook
haven, November term, 1900.
We, your grand jurors, would respect
fully submit this our final report.
We have been in session 10 days,
have sworn and examined 241 witnesses
and returned 35 true bills. We have
examined the Jail and find it in good
condition, both for the health and safe
confinement of the prisoners. We have
examined the county poor house and
county convict farm, and enterrogated
the inmates thereof. We are impressed
that the superintendent for this in
stitution is a kind, humane man, and
that his government both of the in
mates thereof and of the finances of
the farm and premises is good and
honest.
We have examined the books and
accounts of the sheriff and tax collec-
tor and with the limited time allotted
us we are convinced that the same are
correct and properly kept, though we
do not pretend to have given the same
full and thorough examination.
We are pleased to state that we find
no increase, but rather diminution
of the more grave offenses, such as
homicide, in our county, but the small,
offensive and aggressive striped beast
known as the blind tiger" continues
to infest this part of the State, as the
list of indictments will demonstrate to
your Honor.
The Justices of the Peace, in the
face of protest after protest from for
mer grand juries, continue to impose
such trifilng fines on offenders that we
are constrained to think that costs are
the paramount issue with these off,
cials. We learn from creditable wit
nesses that some of these officials even
ride over the country seeking atlantis
and persuading them to withdraw suits
filed in order to collect the costs at
the sacrifice of the fines which should
go to the county finances.
And now, having finished our labors,
and with thanks to your Honor, the
District Attorney and various county
officials for courtesies and assistance
given us, we beg to be finally dis
charged. d. HICKMAN,
Foreman.
