on the people, many of whom were in
jured seriously. although nobody was
killed. Altogether 500 students were ar

BOUND BY THE STATE COURT
Decision of Federal Supreme Court I'm
wilkes County Bond Case.

Washington. March S.-The United
States supreme court today rendered IT'S
opinion IN the case of the commission
ers of Wilkes county, North Carolina,
versus Color, involving the validity OF
bonds issued by Wilkes county in aid
of the Northwestern North Carolina
railroad in 1889. under state laws passed
in 1873. 1879 and 1881. The principal
question involved was whether the
United States courts in passing upon
the case should accept the construc-
ton of the state supreme court in the
matter. Justice Harlan handed down
the courts opinion holding the state
courts construction to be binding. The
state court had held that under the
state constitution a yea and nay vote
by the legislature in authorizing the in
debtedness was mandatory. Such a
course had not been pursued in autho-
rizing the bonds and the contention was
made that il was immaterial. The ef-
feet of today's decision is opposed to
the validity of the bond.

500, 900.

st. Louis, March 1S.-Perhaps the
most disastrous fire in the history of
the Southside, today burned the ice

Brewing Company, the repair shop of
the American Car and Foundry Com
pany, together with a number of box
cars, the factory of Stule & Co, pickle
manufacturers; five rooming houses
and a number of small sheds. The to-
tai damage is estimated at 800, 600, the
greater part of which is covered by in
surance. Two men, employees of the
American Car and Foundry Company,
were injured, but not seriously. The
burned district embraced W. spare
blocks bounded by Zepp, Utah, First
and Kosciusko streets.
The fire broke put at 1925 o'clock in
one of the brewing icehouses, all of
which are connected. A spark from a
passing switch engine is credited with
having ignited straw in the loft.

Especial to The Messenger.l

Raleigh, N. c., March 1S.-Today's
morning session of the Impeachment
trial was entirely consumed by w. P.
Bynum, Jr., in the opening speech for
the defendant judges. The speech re-
lated solely to questions of law regard
ing Improbable ~offenses. and citing
defects in the charges contained in the
Impeachment articles.
Taking up the North Carolina su-
preme court decisions since 1890 in
cases similar to the one complained of,
he showed a long record of decisions
juStifying the judges in their action. He
argued that the errors of judgment
were not Improbable even if the con-
sequences We're evil, and contended
that the order for the writ of manda-
mus was never made bv the supreme
court. The clerk of the court issued it
on the advice of individual members of
the court.
He declared the integrity and probi-
ty of the personal and official conduct
of the judges were in their favor in a
question of corrupt or partisan motive.
Chief Justice Furches was on the
witness stand all the afternoon. and his
cross examination by the prosecution
a begun at the adjournment. He
took UP thirty-siX ''office-holding"
cases which have been decided in the
past four showed the question
involved in each n the ground for
the decision, all relating back to the
case of Hoke VS.. Henderson. decided in
1884, saying the decisions were all
unanimous until 1899. when Judge
Clark (~demOcrat) began to dissent. He
showed that out of the thirty-siX cases
twenty-four had been decided in favor
of democrats.
AS evidence of his taking no account
of politics in any case. he said ne had
V seen TheOphilus White, the party
plaintiff in the case the Impeachment
is for; that no order to issue a manda-
mus was ever made by the court as a
court; that only the individual opinion
of the members was gwen; that a mo-
ton to that effect was not heard for the
reason that nothing was before the
court, and for the same reason JUS
tice Clark's protest and dissenting Opin-
ion We're not permitted to be made a
record of the court. He Solemnly de-
clared that no thought of partisan bias
had ever entered his mind. but that
every act and decision of his had been
in keeping with long settled principles
of law, dating back to the earliest rec
ord of jurisprudence in North Carolina.

Lassiter, of Raleigh. state keeper Of
