ARE TO CONSOLIDATE
Southern and NJ. 4 o. Railroads
to Be Merged.
Name mobile and Ohio" May be
Abandoned July /.

Atlanta, Ga, May s7-The Consti-
tuition says;
The Southern railway and the Mo
bile and Ohio railway will consolidate
July IL there.is no hitch in the pres
emit plans of the arrangement of those
roads.
This information has not yet beon
officially announced, but it is learned
on good authority that such is the in
tention of the controlling.intere OF
the two railways.
The Southern has owned . majority
of the stock Of the Mobile and Ohio
for some time, and it was the inten-
ton to consolidate them in April, but
the fact that there was considerable
Legislative excitement at that time in
the state of Mississippi caused the
management of the Southern to post
pone the matter. 1t was deemed the
wiser course to wait until this feeling
had somewhat subsidized before making
public the fact that the two great sys-
TENS would.be united under one man
agement.
1t is probable that the name of the
Mobile mad Ohio will be used no long
or than July, and that thereafter the
lines composing that system will be
operated under the name of the South
ern Railway 90.

HARD TO KILL
ELECTRICITY ACTED, STUB,
BoRNLY ON CONDEMNED
MAN.

Sing Sing, N. y, May 27-Antonio
Triola, who was put to death in the
electric chair in Sing Sing prison, was
hard to kill, ss five shocks were neces-
sary to cause death. State Electrician
Davis said it was harder to kill thin,
wiry man like Triola was by the cleo
trio current than a stout man, as in
the case Of a thin man there are not
enough tissue to convey the fatal cur
rent quickly to vital part. Mr.. Ds-
Wis also said that Triola had thick,
greasy hair, which resisted the cur
rent. Triols received the first shock
at s:02 a. m. After four more shocks
had been given at brief intervals he
was pronounced dead.
Antonio Triola shot and killed
Mamie Cereli, a young Italian girl,
who was theatrical performer in .
small Italian thester on the East Side,
New York. The girl had refused to
marry Triola.

MAYOR CAN'T PARDON
Lexington Decision of Interest
to Second Glass Cities.
The Court Holds the Mayor Cannot
Pardon Prisoners, Knocking Out
Charter Provision.
NEVER BEEN TRIED HERE

Mayor d. A. Yeiser has never since
the city entered the second class, exer.
cised the power given him by the sec
ond class charter to pardon prisoner
in the lookup, and the probability now
is, never will, as the,court has de-
cided that this provision. Of the char
ter is unconstitutional.
The decision was handed down at
Lexington. where Circuit Judge Par
ker held thst Section 3Ili of the Ken
lucky Statutes was at variance with
the constitution.
The matter came up in the hsbeas
corpus proceedings in the case of Eu-
gene Malone, who was confined in the
county Jail, says yesterdays Lexing-
ton Leader. The question before the
court involved the pardoping power of
the mayor in cities of the second class.
Malone was tried in the police
court several days ago on a charge of
carrying a weapon concealed and was
fined $25 end costs and sentenced to
the county Jail for thirty days. Short
" afterwards he vas pardoned by
Mayor Duncan and Jailer Robert Wal
lace, who held the prisoner on a nit
timus, refused to liberste him upon
the pardon of the mayor. A writ Of
habeas corpus was then obtained and
the matter brought before the circuit
court, County Attorney W. p. Kim
ball appeared for the commonwealth
and City Solicitor Charles W. Miller
for the prisoner.
II was commended that under Section
Bill of the Statutes the mayor had
the power to pardon any prisoner com
mitted of any offense in the police
court of which that court has jurisdic.
tion. The section referred to confers
upon the mayor Of any city Of the Sec
ond class the power to discharge from
custody any prisoner convicted in the
police court. Ii was upon the author
ity of this statutory provision that NJ
Miller made his plea for the release Of
the prisoner. Mr.. Kimball held that
this statute was in violation to Section
n of the constitution which rests the
pardoning power in the governor and
cited several authorities in support of
the view that this power could not be
delegated or vested in any person 9TH
or than the governor.
This latter view was sustained by
the court and the prisoner was re-
to jail.
Mr.. Miller was asked the reason for
issuing the pardon to Malone, and said
that the matter was brought up not so
much for the liberation of Malone as
il was TO test the legality Of the may
prs pard oning power.

SOD was going on the same train to see

ant" and the performance was COM

OWED A MILLION
MAN DISCHARGED IN BANK
RUPTCY FOR THIS SUM.

Trenton, N. j., May 27-Judge
Kirkpatrick, in the United States DIS
trict court, has made an order dis
charging in bankruptcy Francis d.
Carley, a New York stock broker.
Carley made an application about
three years ago to be sdjudged bank
rupt. stating his liabilities at the time
to be slightly in excess Of 81, 900, 900.
Carley's discharge from bankruptcy
has been fought by the Kentucky Ma.
tiopel bank and others. The bank re-
Gently sought TO amend its specifca-
tions and charged that Carley in some
of his stock transactions had been
acting for william K. Vanderbilt, and
in this way sought to have brought in
as assets certain stock which stood in
Mr.. vanderbilt's name. Mr.. Wander
bilt denied that Carley had acted for
him and Judge Kirkpatrick refused to
permit the amending of the specifica-
tions. The case was carried to the
United States circuit court of appeals,
which sustained Judge Kirkpatrick.
The order is the result of that deci-
sion.

Princeton Man Comes Down to
Get Automobile.
But Instead OF the Machine He Gets
the Gold Shoulder All
Around.
HE VISITS CHAIRMAN LANG

Constable Campbell of Princeton
came in late yesterday afternoon and
called on Mr.. Will V. Green at the
Peter boat store and wanted to get
the automobile given away last week
and drawn by Miss Sophie Luttrell.
The young lady boards with Mr. and
Mrs. Green. and Mr.. Green has charge
OF the machine. He informed the
Caldwell county officer that he would
most certainly not get the automobile,
Notwithstanding his claim that he left
the ticket with the young lady with
the understanding that he could get il
back. He had known the young lady
but few minutes when he gave her
the ticket, and had he desired to leave
the ticket with anyone for the purpose
of claiming what it might draw he
would doubtless have left it with some
Of his friends. Instead he gave 1t to
the young lady outright, and the
authorities will see that she and no
one else gets 1t.
When Campbell was told how things
stood he seemed to be satisfied that he
couldn't work the game and left.
Campbell waited at Lang's drug
store several hours for Chairman Lang
of the drawing committee, and when
DIR. Lang returned from the baseball
game claimed that he didn't give the |
young lady the ticket. He admitted,
however, that Mr.. John Bebout. who
was also with the young lady, states
that Campbell did give it to her, that
the young lady says so, and that he.
Campbell, has absolutely no proof that
he didn't give it to her.
Chairman Lang stated to Campbell
that all his committee had to do was
to devise fair means Of giving away
the automobile, and this duty it had
performed, being discharged by the
Carnival association. The automobile
was turned over to the young lady
who had . ticket for-it, and this ends
the matter so far as the committee is
concerned. The ownership Of the
ticket, if there is any dispute over il,
will have to be settled elsewhere, as
the committee has nothing to do with
that.
Campbell said the young lady was
willing to abide by the decision of the
but DR.. Lang informed
him that the committee had been dis
charged from further service, and sig
nificantlv declared that he would new
er consent to act as arbiter in a matter
IN which his mind was already made
up. He then told the young man
frankly that he had no case and was
. mistake in sgitating a mat
ter so plain, and Campbell left.
The young lady's friends will never
permit Campbell to get the automo-
bile. There seems to be no way Camp
bell can get it. Even If he proved the
ticket was his it would not establish
legal ownership to the automobile, as
the latter was given to the young lady
by the carnival association and win
ming anything in a drawing does not,
it is claimed, establish legal owner
ship, and the young lady owns the
automobile, not because the ticket
made her the legal owner, but because
the men who bought it and gave it
away made her present of it and de-
clare that she shall have IL.
