Pistol Shots.

Shortly before twelve o'clock last
night while Officers Knight and Beach
were patro!ling the northeastern portion
of the city they heard pistol shots and
cries of murder. The officers fastened
in the direction from which the crles
emanated, but we're unable to ascertain
who discharged the pistol. They

had been uttered by an obese colored
woman who had been elected from

falling at the time. The man and woman
we're drunk and both were taken in Gus
tody. The Mayor this morning fined

BLOW TO MANN LAw.-The Mann
liquor law received a severe blow yes
terdav. What was conceived to be one
of its strongest points was knocked out in
a decision BY Judge Allan Hanckel, OF
the Corporation Court, of Norfolk. He
declined to revoke the license granted
to R. d. McFetridge to sell liquor in
saloon closed by the court under the
Mann law. The former proprietor,
Capps, had been convicted of selling
liquor to minors. 1t was held by the
commonwealth that the sale of liquor
would be forever prohibited in bar
where the law has once been violated.
Judge Hanckel ruled against this view.
