son of Mr.. G. w. Austin, died at 4: 30
this morning, from wound in his had
caused by rock thrown by Robert B.

boy, yesterday afternoon.
A:crowd OF boys had assembled at
the corner of Kimball and Fifth ave.
nue., n. e., when they got to bandying
words, and it is said Austin .rsed
Ctaddock. The latter picked UP a
small rock and threw it at him. 1t
struck him on the left side of The he'd,
just above the eye, cutting a hole in
the skull. The injured boy was able
to walk home, and told his father that
the boys had been annoying him for
some time.
C.addock was arrested, and declares
that he had no idea of hurting Austin,
and that he merely pitched the rock
lightly.
Austin was employed as assista It
chemist at the Grocer furnace, while
Cfaddock worked st the bridge. The
Austlns came to Roanoke from Mar

A coroner's jury was empane' ed.and

TRUSTTFG THE PEOPLE

Judge Quarles was not far wrong ID
his contention that the present system,
which empowers tie Legislature to elect
the Judiciary aud 80 many other State
officers, has in large measure converted
the General Assembly from a law
making body into "Board of Trade. >
Nor did he miss it muchin depicting
the abuses which have grown up under
the system.
Hence, he put up forcible argument
in support of his plea for restoring to
the people their pIivileges-for the
Jeffersonian doctrine of trusting the
people"
1t cannot be disputed that the
Influences and considerations Judge
Ouarles described have obtained In
marked degree, especially in the matter
of electlng the minor judiciary has
been to great extent the result OF
swapping and log-rolling. Nor can the
existence Of the antecedent evil be
denied the evil represented in forcing
candidates for the General Assembly to
regard the dictates of factions or certain
interests of their localities, in support
ng candidates for judgesnips.
II may be said that it, as now seems
probab e, tue County Court system is
abolished, the objection to the existing
order, 30 far, at leest, as electing the
judiciary is concerned, will be
minlmized. There is some ground for
taking that position, for the Grading"
Judge Quarles adimadvarted upon has
found its most notable illustration in
choosing county Judges. But unless
the new Constitution extends the scope
of popular elettion of officers, the evil
must continue in greater or less degree,
and the great prInciple--that of crust
ing the people'-which Judge Quarles
champions will fail commensurately of
recognition.
Whether it would be wise or
practicable to go to the extreme Judge
Quaries seems to favor, we are not, at
this writing prepared to say. But
certainly the experience Of Virginia,
under the Constitution 1850-'51,
would appear to afford justification
for the conventions following him

instrument.

The growth of the South in wealth

all make it imperative that this section

Orders We're Issued by The City
Marshal Last Night.
Dealers Take the Orders
Seriously.
Action Result Of Petition 10 the
City Government.

Lewiston, Me-, January 10-Acting
upon orders issued by the committee on
police, City Marshl OdIin today warned
all those known TO be engaged In the
sale of liquor in this city to close their
places tonight ana keep them closed.
This is new departure in Lewiston, as
in the past the task OF stopping the sale
Of liquar has fallen on the sheriff OF the
county. 1t was quite evident today that
the saloon keepsrs considered the warn
ing to have BEEN given in good faith, and
a great deal OF hustlinG was done In
making preparations tor suspension to-
night.
About week ago a petition, signed
by Senator FRYE and others, was presented
to the board of aldermen. asking for bet
ter enforce ment of the liquor laws. This
occasioned considerable talk about the
city, and last evening special meeting
OF the police committee and a me jority OF
the members Of the board OF aldermen
was held. After considerable discussion
City Marshal Oilin was called before the
meeting and instructed to at once take
the matter In his hands and enforce the
law to the letter.
IL is expected that warrants will be
issued tomorrow against those who do
not act upon the warning given today,
and that forcible steps will be taken,
If necessary, to carry out the orders of the
city government.
