A VIOLIN CAUSED TROUBLE.
But This Negro Got Out on a Tech.
nicality.

Will Hill, negro, charged with lar
ceny. was yesterday discharged in the
Criminal Division Of the City Court on
account Of being indicted for larceny and
not embezzlement.
VIII Hill is musician, a ragtime vir-
tuoso. He fiddles away. his time and
makes money by 1t. But for some time
he had no violin.
Sol Hightower, like Will Hill, Is also a
negro. He, too, Is a musician. but I'M
like the Hill virtuoso he possesses a
violin.
Will Hill had an engagement to play
at a dance, but he had no violin. Sol
Hightower had no engagement but he
had violin. So Will Hill borrowed the
violin.
But the Hill negro was not as eager to
return 1t. Instead of so doing with the
melody provoker of Sol Hightower 1t was
charged that it was taken to three
ball shop and that Will Hill became the
possessor of 65 cents and a pawn ticket
The arrangement did not suit Sol High
tower. He demanded his violin but didn't
get 1t. He was asked by Hill to get 1t
out OF the pawn shop. He did so and
also had Will Hill arrested for larceny.
The grand jury of Montgomery. County
indicted Will Hill for larceny.
The attorney for the defendant in court
yesterday cited law to prove that the Of
fence was not larceny but embezzle-
mept:
Judge William H. Thomas sustained
the plea and instructed the jury to find
the defendant not guilty
Will Hill still holds the pawn ticket and
the S5 cents.

CARTER ESTATE PAID
All Material Used on jackson Ferry
Road to be Paid for by Coun-
ty-Will Heir Mr..
Ayres.

The Montgomery County Board of Rev.
enue yesterday rescinded its action in
regard to refusing to pay the whole
amount to the estate of the late Eugene
Carter, charged In the bill for the grav-
cling Of the Jackson Ferry road between
Montgomery and the cotton compress.
About two months ago. several citizens
appeared before the Board of Revenue
and complained Of the worn condition of
the Jackson Ferry Road between Mont
goniery and the Alabama Compress. The
Board ordered that the work be done. the
estimated amount of gravel to be used
being about LOCO feet. The contract was
awarded to Mr. Carter.
The road was repaired. The estimate
made by County Engineer J. M. Garrett
that the repairing would only require
about 30 cars of gravel, soon appeared
to be too small and the Board ordered
the work finished, using as much gravel
as was required according to specifca-
tons issued by the County Engineer.
The work was completed and bill was
presented to the Board for 1.752 3-4 feet
Of gravel.
Several members of the Board were of
the opinion that a greater amount OF
gravel was used than was necessary and
on their motion a committee was ap-
pointed TO inspect the WCrk.
The committee recommended in its re-
port that the estate of Mr.. Garter be paid
for 1888 &-10 feet.
The report of the committee was adopt
ed.
Yesterday a legal representative of the
Carter estate appeared before the Board
and asked that the estate be paid in full
for the gravel laid. He introduced wit
nesses to prove that the work was done
exactly as recommended by the County
Engineer and that every piece of gravel
of the 1,752 "a feet was on the road.
On motion of Mr.. Barnes, seconded by
Mr.. Brown, both of whom formerly op-
posed the payment of the full bill, the
Board decided to pay the Carter estate
in full.
Billy Virgins, a negro. asked that he
be paid for the time he worked for the
County while prisoner in the Jail. Wig
gins was arrested for gaming several
months ago. He could not make bond
and was accordingly confined in the
County jail A prisoner can. however
under the law. do hard labor for the
County before his trial. II convicted. the
number of days he worked before the
trial are credited to him.
Virgins worked out part OF the time
before his trial. but he was not convict
ed. He accordingly asked the Board to
pay him for his services to the County
There is no law which provides for this
payment. but the Board decided that as
matter of equity the negro should be
paid.
Francis E. Ayres of the Bloemfontaint
Company. wanted to be heard before the
Board in reference to the revocation OF
all privileges granted him. The Board
noStponed the haarinO until neYt Mon.

will be summoned to testify before the
Board.

IreIand's Population Decreasing.

The recent census Of Ireland shows a
marked decrease in its population, which
has been largely attributed to the fam
inc throughout the island, causing the
death of thousands of people, and fore
ing many others to emigrate. This
brings to mind quite forcibly the abso-
lutte necessity of having plenty of good
food if we would prolong life, but after
all it is not a question of the amount
eaten that makes the people strong and
healthy, but the way it is digested.
Dyspeptic people cannot enjoy their
meals, and consequently always feel de-
pressed, irritable and nervous. They
should try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
at once. 1t is a specific remedy for
flatulency, belching, indigestion, dys-
pepsia and nervousness, and is backed
by record of fifty years Of cure.
