Iniunciion. Refused

In the Supreme Court Thursday
morning a decision was filed by Asso-
ciate Justice Ira b. Jones, refusing an
injunction and disrnissing the petition
OF II. A. M. Smith, receiver of the
defunct bank Of the State, against r.
II. Jennings, State Treasurer. The
petition was for IN injunction to pre-
vent the State Treasurer writing O If
his books the bonds Of the bank, which
have been carried for thirty years.
The bonds were stolen during the war
and have never been recovered. The
case has been elaboratcly adjudicated
in the courts, the judges Of the State
sitting on one occasion .cn banc upon
it. 1t was decided that the bonds
we're due to the receiver and thc re-
ceivcr was instructed to apply to the
Legislature for authorization Of their
payment At the last session of the
General Assembly, however, an act
was passed instructing the State
Treasurer to write the amount of the
bonds of his books. The application
OF the receiver Of the bank was for an
Injunction to prevent the State
Treasurer from carrying out the pro-
visions OF this act.

Senator Ioar discussed "Problcms

outing of the Essex club of MaSsachu-
setts at Bakers Island Thursday
Discussing the raoc problem in the
south, the senator said: Il know, my
friends, that there are special ditI1cul-
ties in this problem as it affects our
colorcd fellow citizens. I know how
deeply moved are the feelings Of our
southern brethren. l would not utter
toward them a word Of reproach. l
know how near to their homes and
how Close To their social and political
life comes this cloud and shadow. Il
see that one. enthusiastic southern
gentleman has renewed the PROPOSE
tion that we send the ten million ne
grocs out Of the country. This is
totally impracticable. Let us not
del.Ide ourselves. We have got this
question to meet squarely at home.

A TERRIBLE DEED.
j. II. stnrle Kills John Il. Angel in the
Express Oliicc.

f1gatffHs aSApttSb olnCC.
J. r. Stark shot and fatally
wounded John F. Angel Thursday
afternoon in tile o1lce Of the Southern
Express company in Jacksonville, Fla,
while the latter was protecting the
life Of his sister, the wife Of the man
who fired the shot. Stark had been
in Jacksonville several days and this
morning wired for his wife to join
him. She came at about noon and at
2 o'clock they met in the office of the
express company, where her brother
was employed. The wife suspected
that her husband meant to: do her
bodily harm when lie endeavored to
get to his hotel She desired to re-
main near her brother and declined to
go.
I have brought you here to kill
YOU" Stark said. Quick as flash his
wife seized him as he was cndeavor-
ing to draw his pistol. She pinioncd
his arms and her cries brought her
brother. The pistol was taken from
Stark before it was drawn. Words be-
tween the. two men followed and blows
were exchanged. Stark went to Il
pawn shop, where he procured another
pistol and returned. FIe entered the
the oillcc and walked to the cage Where
Angel was at work with his back turn
ed. Resting the pistol in one of the
small steel holes Of the cage he fired,
the ball striking Angel in the back Of
the head and lodging near the brain.
Angel fell. Stark looked about him
and started to leave when a brother of
Angel appeared and seized him. The
brother made an effort to kill Stark
with Il knife but others interfercd and
the police placed Stark under arrest.
Angel is at ST. Luke's hospital. No
hopes are entertained for his recovery,
but he will live until morning. The
defense that Stark's lawyer will make
is that he was insane, a theory which
is generally accepted by those who
know him, and who have been with
him during the past few d.lys.
Stark was formerly auditor Of the
jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
road. Angel was cashier of the South
crn Express company

There have already been q number
OF complaints tlat the game law is be-
ing violated. 1t is said that the sum
mer has been very propitious to the
raising Of partridgeS and the fields
are full Of young birds which in some
localities are meeting with wholesale
destruction at the hands Of pot hunt-
crs. In view Of this fact, it might be
well for the sportsmen"wh love sport
for its own sake to become familiar
with the game laws so that they can
prosecute pot hunters and stop the
determination Of :,sdgIings.
Following is il digest OF the game

about six miles from the city. IS John
Gratfenreid, negro, and his wife,
had been attending holiness meet

-up over the cxcitment attending it;s
They left. the. meet Monday night and
spent n greater part Of the night
praying.
] ust before daylight Graffenreid says,
his wife awokc Him and asked him
which he loved best, his wife or his
baby, u child about lG months If age.
She said the Lord was -Yoiug to take
one Of them und asked which lie
would rather give up. He says that If
1t was the Lord's will he would rather
give up the child. He says the woc
man then got out OF bed and took the
child in her arm and declared she was
going to offer it as q sacrifice. lie
says he was standing by her trying to
get her quiet, when She suddenly ex-
claimed: Here, Lord, take this
child,"' and threw it against the wall.
His wife then threw her arms around
him and tried to chOak him, saying
something about both Of thcm going
to Heaven together. They had a
scutlic, which awakened the other
children, who ran into the room and
took the child and placed it in u bed.
The woman then jumped out of Il
window and left the place and went
to the farm Of w. Q. Hammond, !:
were she appeared early in the morn
Ing, acting In a strange manner, as il
demcntcd, and Mr.. Ham mond secured
her for fear she w.uId do herself or
others harm. She said something
about her husband killed her baby,

suspicious, and lie phoncd Sheriff
Green for Instructions. The sheriff
gave instructions to have her husband
arrested and this was done Mr.. Allen
Martin, who was at Mr.. Hammond's
and the man and his wife were
brought here and put in Jail. .5
The woman is either raving mad or
an adept at feigning insanity, and
spent the day rolling on the floor or try
ing to climb the walls of the
cell, but no word could be COTTON
from her. The man appeared to be
more rational but is evidently weak
minded and talked freely about the
affair, though his story is rambling
and disconnected. He does not show
any sorrow or remorse over the death
