WOULD BE sPoLlATloN.


Detroit, Mich, March 20.--Judge
Swan, in the United States district
court here, rendered decision which
denies the validity of an ordinance
passed some months since by the city
council requiring the street railway
companies TO reduce rates of fare 10
three cents. The court says there is
nothing in the charter Of the city
which authorizes such an ordinance,
and allows an injunction to restrain
the city from enforcing it, Said
Judge Swan:
10 enforce this ordinance would be
an act not Of regulation, but OF spoia-
ton. The power includes the general
management as regards the protection OF
life and property and the accommoda-
tion Of the public; but the Legislature t.
self could not effect the fares agreed up
on, II might be for the welfare Of the
public that fares should be abolished al
together, but that would be confscatlon
and could not be tolerated,

And our praycrs viii not avail him,
Nor the Judge can't lot him so

Please tell us that we canl
For wo love to clear our client,
Though he Is guilty man.
May We twist the truth little2
May we even tell alley

May we prove on AllbIt
Now, sheldon, In your paper
Tell tho lawyers, II you can,
Have they only done their duty
When they clear guilty manY
what would Jesus do, dear SheldonY
Tell us this, for we must know.
Would no lot his client suffer,
Both on earth and down below
Or would he kindly tell him,
That he must prove and say,

suited in bringing news of Mafeking's
relief, From liloemfontein aud Natal
there are apparently no serious de-
velopments and public interest re-
mains centered In Col. Bnden-p -powell's
force, undistracted by events OF
greater military Importance, How
ever IL appears likely that the con-
verging Of the troops towards Mafe-
king indicates Il much more serious
purpose than merely its relief, Judg-
ing from Lord Mothuen's presence ut
Warrentown and the capture of the
nearby passage of the Naal at Four
teen streams, keen observers believe
Lord Roberts medltutes an advance In
force on Pretoria by way Of Rusten-
burg. This might start either from
Fourteen streams or Klerkdorp, and
would probably coincide with an nd
vance via Bloemfontein and Natal,

editor of this paper had the pleasure of
witnessing an entertainment OF MIR. Hey

and it was one of the most delightful
things he ever attended. There is not the
slightest suggestion of coarseness, vulgar
itv or horse play in all he says and does,
and the persons Mr.. Haywood has asso-
ciated with him are artists of a high
order. The people of Bamberg have a
genuine treat in store, and We feel sure
that large audience will attend the en-
tertainment. The prices will be %, S5,
and so cents, and special rate will prob
,.Sly be made to students of the schools.
We shall have more to say next week, but
we want to add that Mr.. Haywood ap'
peared last wear at Winthrop, Converse
and other prominent colleges in this
State, and is making dates at the same
places again this season. This attests the
fact that he gives an entertainment OF un-
usual merit, and one eagerly welcomed by
the most refined, intelligent and cultured
people.

Tragedy at North.

A family fight occurred last Sat.
urday near North, in Orangehurg
county, in which Mr.. James A. jeff
coat was killed by his father, Mr..
r. A. Jeffcoat. A brother of the
dead man also shot and wounded
him. The fatal row was the culml.
nation of family difficulties, and
from what we can gather the facts
are about as follows:
Some years ago r. A. Jeffcoat, the
father, purchased farm and had
the titles made out in his wlfe's
name. Afterwards the husband ana
wife had some disagreement, and a
separation finally resulted. This
also led to division of feeling
among the children, some taking
their mothers part and some the
fathers. Then the land became a
cause of dispute, and James jeff
coat bought it from his mother. Ills
father still attempted to work the
land, and last Saturday morning the
dead man found some of his fathers
hands working thereon. He made
them leave, and soon afterwards MS
father and brother, William, appear,
ed on the scene, armed with a shot
gun and rife, respectively. The
dead mans ante mortem statement
saws that his father first shot him IL
the thigh with the shotgun; ne re
| turned the fire with Il gun, bu'
| missed the old gentleman; then HI:
brother, William, shot him with the
rifle, shattering his arm; that ht
then asked another brother, Grover.
who was present, not to let then
shoot him again, but his father
came right up to him and shot hln
| in the abdomen. The gun was loaded
with buckshot. and the wounded
man died Saturday night abou
nine o'clock.
The affair is a deplorable one, ant
it is said that the family is a proml
nent one in that section.
