CITIZENS UP IN ARMS
Protest to be Made Against a
Desperate Peril to their
Homes and Business

The extraordinary interest shown by
Firee Commission Angel in support of
the efforts of Heist and Young to erect
1000 barrel oil tank in Lafayette
against the strenuous protests of the
property owners in that section mas
reached the point whre the public official
curses and swears at those who have
the termerity to object. His cursees and
vilifcation of two of Lafayatte's leading
citizens and property owners led TO his
being reHghly handled NY one of the
gentlemen. The Commissioner feit the
strong hand of protesting citizen at
his throat and curses that were ON mis-
lips were swallowed The Fire Commits
sioner was thrown into the gutter just
as any ordinary insulter of man Should
be. The Commissioner was uuablee to
repell the strenuous punishment mefed
out to him and he skunk awas like a
whipped cur.
After passing the lie direct for some
DAYS to several people Mr.. Angel finally
found tartar in til person of James
Heegher, Of No. 424 Pacific avenue, on
Monday night. The history Of Mr..
Angels activity in the case was ;oI by
Mr.. Hnghees and Mr.. D. w Phillips, of
NJ 100 IIaIladay st..,t
1t appears that when Hest and Young
first made their appeearanc in Lafayette.
craving the support of the citizens for
their support to build the tank iii 4ues-
ton, Fire Commissioner Angel was lie
first to oppose them. lie was very ac
tive. He told every property owner he
met that the tank would be menace to
life and property and actually got several
to promise protests if the matter even
came up before the Fire Board.
Il am opposed to it and win never
vote for it under any circumstances, .
said Commissioner Angel to those whom
he met.
Then when the Fire Board met two
weeks ago TO night Commissioner Angel
Introduced tn resolution granting Heist
and Young permission to erect the tank
and the only vote against it was that
of Democratic Commissioner Hennessy.
The citizens Of Lafayette were aston
ished and made protests as oson as
possible. Some of them looked wise
and rubbed their noses after a fashion.
There was good deal of talk about
the change of attitude and about Com
missioner Angels opposition, before the
oBard's action was discussed. Then
Commissioner Angel denied that he was
eyer opposed to the construction Of the
tank He was told that he had opposed
it and got very angry.
Monday night, while James Hughes
was taIking with a friend at Pacific
aveiine and oJhnson avenue Commits
sioner Angel approached and said, ae-
cording to Mr.. Hughes

Case of Sheppard James.

According to an opinion handed down
by the Supreme court, the decision OF
the Guilford County Superior court in the
case of Sheppard James was overruled.
In August, 1900 Sheppard James was
run over and killed at street crossing
in Greensboro. by a passenger car of the
Southern Railway. His administrator
brought suit against the company for
81, 900 damages. The company claimed
that it was through carelessness of the
deceased, and plaintiff contended that this
was offset by the fact that the train was
going at a faster rate than the city ordi-
nances allowed. In the Superior court
the judge sustained the contention of the
defendant company, and the plaintiff took
non-suit and appealed. The case will
now come up again for trial, the plain
tiff being allowed to show that the city
ordinances were violated, if such was the

A SURPRISE WEDDING.

In the year that is almost ended, there have been so many elaborate church weddings to occupy the atten- tion and conversation of Newport society that a bit of variety and a 1 break in the slmeness must surely be welcomed in the news of a surprise wedding, which took place Wednes day evening.

Hubby and Miss Johnnie Lindley of this city, who stole a march on all but few of their friends and at 3:30 o'clock that evening repaired to the home of Mr. and Mrs Wm. Bailey, where they were quietly married in the presence of a few friends and the family, by Rev. L. H. Richardson, who said a very sweet and impressive service
 The newly wed went that evening to the home of Mir and Mrs. E. D. Bracy, where they have begun house keeping. The groom came here two  years ago from his home in Chats worth, Illinois, first as stenographer at the Pond x Decker Lumber Com pany and later assumed the manage ment of the laundry for Mir Decker Just recently, he purchased half interest in the establishment of E.
