One Of the sights Of London is the
"London Docks SO called. They are
really enormous underground cellars,
and those who receive the necessary
permit may travel miles between rows
Of casks containing port and sherry,
rum, brandy, whdskey, and all sorts
Of wines and spirits. The favored
visitor is often offered samples of curl
GUS old vintages, but even II he re.
fuses them his case Is apt to be one to
be remembered. Provided he ling.
ers an hour or more wandering through
these cellars, the volatile spirit which
escapes from the casks into the heavy
atmosphere will so affect his brain
that on emerging into the open air
his legs are reasonably sure to play
such fantastic tricks with his body
that the services Of cab becomes a
matter Of necessity.

NOTHING DONE
1T IS PROBABLE THERE WILL
BE NOTHING FOR SOME
TIME YET.

1t is practically certain that moth
ing can be done for some time in re-
gard to securing a reduction Of tele-
phone rates by merchants and profess
sional men in Paducsh. Neither can
the representatives of these various
organizations do anything conclusive
at present towards adopting one sys-
tenn, as the only system now in OPP
GRAFTON here is the East Tennessee,
which has refused reduction, and
the new one will probably not be in
operation before the last of February.
The joint committee, consisting Of
representatives of the various sssocia-
tions and professional mems orgsnizs-
tions, held meeting last night and
will report back to their respective as
sociaticns as soon as possible, and this
will likely be the last heard of the
move for several weeks.

MILLER ACQUITTED
He Shot the Herbst Brothers in Self
Defense.

Judge Sanders this morning dismiss
ed the warrant against o. l.. Miller,
the Second street grocer, who was
charged with having msliciously shot
Samuel and william Herbst with in
tent to kill. The trouble occurred at
ter dance at Barksdale's hall, and the
Herbst boys were each shot through
the arm.
The ease consumed the greater part
OF the morning and the witnesses
were numerous. The testimony
showed that the Herbst boys and Mil
Ter had trouble before and that Miller
was forced to knock one of them down.
1t was reported that the Herbst boys
were going to LAY for Miller the
night of the dance, when the shoot
ing was done, and friends warned
Miller not to go. Fearing that he
might meet with some trouble Mil
Ter placed a gun in his pocket before
leaving for the hall After the
dancing was over he took the young
lady he had accompanied to the dance
hall from the building and was en-
route to her hcme when she warned
him that one Of the Herbst boys was
behind him and to "look out"
Miller turned in time to avoid q
blow. He pulled his pistol and shot.
The younger brother rushed to the
rescue Of his brother and was also shot.
Judge Sanders thought that Miller
acted in self-defense and accordingly
dismissed the warrant. The warrant
against the Herbst boys for malicious
cutting with intent to kill will be
heard Monday morning.
The case against Bud Henderson
and Eli and Rosa Boswell, colored,
charged with the theft of meat and
provisions from the Overstreet gro
Gerry, was dismissed. A witness who
was supposed to have known someth-
ing about the theft was sent
for yesterday and when he learned that
he was wanted fed and has not since
been seen.

MAYORS SIGNATURE ENOUGH.

Il is not exactly plain what the OBJ
jeot is in certain persons trying to
mako it appear that Speaker Charles
Reed of the board of councilmen is
delaying the saloon closing law by
failing or refusing to sign it. He
does not have to sign IL, and this
fact is known by every member Of
both legislative boards. Mayor Yeiser
knows it, and could have signed up
the ordinance and had il in effect
two weeks ago had he desired. The
charter requires only the mayors sig
nature to make an ordinance law
and effective. The signature Of the
two presiding officers OF the legislative
boards may be added simply as q for
mality. Anyone can readily see that
Mr.. Reeds signature is not necessary
If it were he would have more power
than the mayor and might prevent the
mayor from signing any ordinance
passed simply by refusing to sign it
himself, and thus forcing the mayor
to disapprove it by allowing the TWEEN
ty days to expire, although the may
or might be in favor Of the ordin-
ance and want to sign 1t. In that
way the signature of the two presid-
ing officers, or that Of Speaker Reed,
who, the rules say, must sign first,
would be of more importance than
that Of the mayor, for the latter could
never sign anything until the others
had signed it first All that is neces-
sary to make the saloon closing ordin-
ance a law is the mayors signature.
He has seen fit to delay it, and if
anyone is to blame for its failing to
become law 1t is he. He could
have signed it the day after it
passed IL he chose. He can sign it
any time he sees fit and make it a
law. No other signature is neces-
sary under the statutes.

The result of the Headley trial was
no surprise to the legal fraternity.
There wss never the slightest founda-
tion for a charge Of attempted bribery
in the case, tine whole thing being only
a Democratic trick to make political

to the John Young Brown forces, was
arrested here and put to great deal
of trouble and expense on q charge of
attempted bribery, when it was admit.
ted from the start that the young man
who was alleged to have been given
money for buying the influence Of
election officers, claiming to be one of
the men who appoint them, had moth
ing to do with the election officers,
and the accused could consequently
not have bribed them through him
under any circumstances, and there
fore could not be guilty Of attempting
to bride.
