MONTGOMERY THEATRE.

Fine Audience Saw Excellent Pro

 ton of last night is to be treated from the comparative viewpoint only. First. It must be noted that the com- pany which produced Pixley & Luder's bright musical comedy last night is as
 good as has been seen here in the piece. companies have made deep impressions on Montgomery audiences There were weak spots in last nights company, but there ones are not to be pointed out.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.
Young Son of Ralph Cudworth Falls Into Vim
ton Canal and Is Rescued in an Unconscious
Condition BY L. D. Taylor.

William, the 6-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Ralph Cudworth, narrowly
escaped being drowned yesterday morn
ing in the canal which feeds Vinton IS
mill pond. The boy with several com
panions was sliding down the hill
which leads from Canal street to the
Elm street bridge and in some manner
lost control of his Sled pitching over
the steep embankment into the canal
below. One of the children who was
playing with him ran across the bridge
TO Rockwell IL Sherwin's shop and
tried to tell what had happened but
was too frightened to give any satisfic-
tory explanation. Linn d. Taylor,
who happened to be in the shop at the
time, hastened to the point where the
child said "Willie had slid into the
brook, :" and was just in time to see the
boys body float out from beneath the
sluice which carries the surface water
from Canal street over the canal and
into the brock Mr.. Taylor ran down
the path beside the canal, waded into
the water to his waist and was just
able to grasp the boys clothing as he
was about to float under the ice which
covers the lower part of the canal.
When taken from the water the child
was unconscious, probably as the re-
suit of a severe bruise on the forehead
which is thought to have been sus-
tanned by striking the sluice as he slid
down the embankment.
As soon az Mr.. Taylor pulled the boy
out of the water he hurried back tow
ard the bridge but was so weak with
cold and exhaustion that he was unable
to carry the child up the bank TO the
road. He finally was assisted by Harry
Rowe who carried the child to Rock
well Il Sherwin's $ blacksmith shop. 1t
was some time before the identity of
the boy was revealed for all of his com
panions disappeared when the acci-
dent occurred. When his name was
learned he was Immediately taken
home where he recovered consciousness
and seemed to show no i'll effects from
his lev bath.

THE REFERENDUM is LEGAL.
Supreme Court Decides Intent of Law Plain
and Secs. 1oO-l0S Effective From Passage.

Gov. Mccullough received Friday
night the opinion of the Supreme court
Judges dated Jan. II, on the question
which he submitted to them relating
to the referendum provisions of the
new license local option bill passed at
the recent legislative session. Gov.
Mccullough query was as TO whether
or not and to what extent sections 100,
101, l02 and lob of said act are now in
force. The decision of the judges
which was Immediately made public
was that the sections referred to are
now in full force and effect, the intent
of the law being plain. The opinion
was signed by all the judges.
The written opinion was as follows:
1.-The rule is that in constituting
statute all its provisions must be con-
sidered in order to ascertain what the
legislature intended, that thing with
in the evident intention of the statute
is as much within the statute as
though it were within its letter.
Upon careful reading and consider
alton of said act we think it was the
manifest intention of the legislature,
by the last clause of section 100, to
make the sections named in that clause
take effect upon the passage of the act,
and that intention must have included
the clause itself to the end that the en-
tire act might be submitted to the vot-
ers of the state TO decide whether 1T
should 60 into effect on the first Tues
day of March, 1903, or be postponed
until the first Monday of December,
1906.
"Section 101 expressly requires the
officers of towns and cities to call
meetings of the legal voters therein to
be held on the first Tuesday of Feb
ruary next, to express by their votes
their Judgment and choice in respect
to this act, and all necessary direc-
tions for counting and canvassing the
votes: the certification to the secretary
of state and his proclamation of the re-
suit seem to be provided for in sections
l01, 102 and l03.
Therefore, we are of the opinion
that all of sections 100, l0l, 102, and
1O3 are now in full force and effect. "

Putuey Dwelling House Burned to the Ground.

A dwelling house at Putrey owned
by Mrs. Elbridge Houghton and occu-
pied by Timothy Connors and wife
burned to the ground Sunday morning
shortly after 3 o'clock. Mr.. Connors
was partly dressed and had just started
the fire when he discovered the whole
upper part of the house all ablaze.
Mrs. Connors badly escaped in her
night clothing. The house was said to
be insured for a small amount. Mr..
Connors lost all his furniture which
was not insured. The fire caught from
a defective chimney, and as the house
was a very small one it was all in ashes
even before the nearest neighbors knew
anything was wrong.
