Constant complaints have been regis
tered at police headquarters by mer-
chants and societies, and the matter
was taken in hand several days ago.
Captain James Temple, of the Volun-
teers, did not take kindly to being
moved about at the suggestions of the
police and he resented the moving as
an insult. The result was that he
was arrested and taken to the station.
where he was kept for short portion
OF the night, and released upon prom
ises to do better. His promises, how
ever, he has concluded to disregard.
and he has announced that he will
fight the battle TO the bitter end. and
that in the future the meeting of the
Volunteers will be held wherever he,
Captain Temple, may deem best.

Peoria, Ills, July 24.-There is war
ON between the local army OF the Vol
unteers Of America and the Peoria pO-
lice. The Volunteers are strong in
numbers and in voice, and because of
these facts they have been driven from
corner TO corner and street to street.
At their nightly meetings they are sur
rounded by great crowds, blocking the
traffic and III many cases the entrance
to business houses. Their lusty songs,
sometimes given forth through mega
phones in order to drown out the
choruses of the Salvation Army on a
neighboring corner. have made a din
which broke up lodge meeting in

Dinner to old officials.


Col. Forrest W. Brown on Friday last
entertained at dinner the present officials
of the county, Including the members of
the County Court. Sheriff and Deputies,
Circuit and County Clerk. with Mayor
George Washington and the editor of the
SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON. Covers were laid
for fourteen persons, with pretty SOU
venir ct each plate consisting of a hand
somehand-painted card. bearing the name
of & guest. The menu was superb, in
Guiding raw oysters on the half shell,
roast turkey, roast duck. escalloped
oysters, and all the etceteras that most
fastidious epicure could desire. As a
host Colonel Brown was at his best in
geniality and warm-hearted friendship,
and that his guests were made to feel and
enjoy to the-extreme a true and cordial
old Virginia welcome, may be assured
Although the table was not Immediately
graced by the presence of fair woman,
yet the near vicinage of Mrs. Brown was
strikingly apparent in the tasteful table
decorations and delightful menu. Off
cial duties and pressing business forbade
an extended after dinner enjoyment OF
the whole-souled hospitality extended.
yet bright memory of the pleasurable
occasion, will. we are sure, long linger as
particularly bright spot in the lives
of all who were present.

Lower Court Upheld.

Judge Faulkner has no right to COM
plain of the action of the Supreme Court
of Appeals. On Saturday they rendered
the following decisions from the Circuit
and refused writ of error asked for:
Wick & Company VS. Dawson, from
Jefferson county, reversed in part and
affirmed,
Herring VS. Bender, from Berkeley
county, affirmed.
Young and Nadenbousch, trustees, VS..
Building & Loan Association, from
Berkeley county. affirmed.
Becker VS.. McGraw. from Jefferson
county. affirmed.
George VS. Hess, from Jefferson county
affirmed.
State VS. Theodore Furley, from Berke-
ley county, writ of error and supersedeas
refused. Furley was tried twice and both
times convicted of attempt at rape by the
jury. After the second verdict Judge
Faulkner sentenced the prisoner to fif-
teen months in the penitentiary The
case was then carried to the Supreme
Court on the ground that Furley was con-
victed of attempted rape, when the evil
dence showed he committed rape; that the
indictment was sent to the jury in the sec
ond trial with the verdict of the first jury
written upon it; that the instructions.
which the court refused to give, for the
defendant should have been granted, and
that the verdict was contrary to the evil
dence. Furley was SENTENCED Oct. I, 1000.
His term of Imprisonment will not begin
until the day of his admission to the pen
ftentiary.
N the case of Young and Ncdenbousch
trustees IS the Bditding & Loan Associa-
ton, in which large number of the resi-.
dents of Martinsburg are interested, the
particular question involved was the basis
on which the losses were to be divided
among the stockholders. Some of the
stockholders had borrowed large sums OF
money and others had not. Among the
largest borrowers were the Middlesex
Knitting Company and the Kilbourn
Knitting Machine Company. When the
association became iusotveur an assign

of creditors, and the trustees brought the
suit in question to wind up the associa-
ton and to determine among other things.
how settlements should be made with Dor
rowed stock
The Circuit Court, Forrest w. Brown
sitting as special judge, decided. first that
the assets should be applied first to the
payment of debts of the association
Secondly, that the losses should be borne
equally by stockholders who had taken
loans and those who had not. THIRD,
that the two companies above named
were stockholders. the same as other in
dividuals, and were SO obliged to share
PrOpOrtionately with the rest in the pay
ment of losses.
From this decree the appeal was taken
which has just been decided. and the Cir
cult Court was affirmed in every aspect
OF the case
On appeal it was also contended that
the board of directors of the association
had no right without she consent OF the
stockholders to make the assignment IN
question. but this contention was also

Preliminary steps have been taken 10 es-

VIM. Lucas, about two miles west of this
place, on the Middleway pike. Mr.. Jas.
Heaton, representing Pennsylvania com
pany, called to see Mr.. Lucas on Monday
last. whereby if present anticipations are
carried out Mr.. l. is to receive so much per
ton for the rock which quarried and loaded
on the cars. There are tons upon tons of
the finest of limestone on this farm and the
location in railroad facilities is al that could
be desired, the b. &. o. passing right along
beside the land. The rock as fast as gotten
out is to be shipped to the company's iron
furnace in Penns ylvania to be used for
smelling purposes. The enterprise will give
employment to number of hands and the
revenue to our friend Lucas will, we trust,
be equal to that of second KIondyke.
