ture been below 80 degrees. This was
on the 10th and 11th."

To Arrest Pool Room Men.

Chief of Police Wier said this after noon that as soon as the Chancery Court received the decree of affirm. ance he would arrest the pool room men. He had been legally advised that he could not take action until the re- ceipt of the decree by the register fin chancery.
 The consensus of opinion of attor- neys on both sides of the case Is that the Supreme Court confined itself to a review of the chancellor's decree and did not touch upon the question of the validity of the pool room ordinance.
 One of the counsel for the appellates said this afternoon the opinion simply affirmed the chancellors decree. an at- tack upon the validity of the ordinance in the trials in a common law court which will follow the arrests antict- pated to be made. If on the other hand. the opinion should declare the ordinance valid, counsel for the pool room people would seriously consider the advisability of appealing the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. Infraction of the Fourteenth Amendment to the constitution of tbe United States would be the basis of appeal.

! s.a,,cAusn FOR DrsGusr.

The Indianapolis Sentinel was distinct ly disgusted at the impudence of the Hearst fnissionaries-or mercenaries-who have more than once invaded that State for the express purpose of seduclng the Democrats into supporting the President bidder of Gotham. Not until recently.'' The Sentinel remarks. 'has any outsider been bold enough and insolent enough to trv to tell the honest. intelligent and patriotic Democrats of this State how they shall vote in their own conventions"
 We can understand The sentinel's dis gust, and contempt. but there is no reason why 1t should feel the least surprise Brazen impudence has been one of the marked features of the. Hearst propaganda from its very inception. Taking their cue and their pay from him his vote seekers and vote-buyers have cast decen- cy to the winds and have kept no object in view but success at any price and at any sacrifice of decency. With them. as with him, getting delegates is the para mount object and they manifest a most profound indifference as to the methods employed.
 We can well understand the feeling of The Sentinel at the attempt. futile as 1t was, to Hessianize Indiana. In general the Democrats of that State are sane. They gave Cleveland a plurality of over 7OOa in 1892 and changed to a Republican plurality of more than 1900 in 1898 and 26.OOO in 1900. They are the kind of Democrats who do not run a very lively gait in the direction of Populism. and are still less likely to be bought by Hearsts dollars. They will run their politics their own way and 1t will not be the way that leads to destruction through the Hearst door, The Sentinel has cause to be disgusted.

Caught by Cave-iu.

 At Glenn Springs, near Bessemer, this morning a cave-in of a deep ditch which Is being dug by the Water Works Company, resulting in the fa- tai injury of one man, a negro named Will Williams, and slight head wounds to another negro whose name could not be learned. Williams was carried to his home in Old Jonesboro in an ambulance. The other man lives in South Bessemer.
 This ditch is being excavated for the purpose of lowering the head of Glenn Spring from which source the reservoir is supplied. The trench is about twelve feet deep at the point where it fell in, and the two negroes were working In it at the time. The most seriously injured man was crush ed against the side of the ditch by the weight of the dirt. Both of the injured were attended by Drs. Berry and Walker.

The situation at the Bessemer Roll ing Mill remains practically without change since last Sunday when the bar mill men refused to work on ac. count of the alleged non-compliance with an agreement of March 24, on the part of the company.
 It is generally believed here that the mill will not resume operations ir any event before the first of July. Tn some quarters there is belief that the shutdown will be definite. This is based upon the fact that all monthly salaried men in the employ of this company, with the exception of a few in the office and shipping departments have been notified that their services will not be needed after the first day of June.
