TWO WERE NAMED
BY GRAND JURY
AS JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
TO FILL VACANCIES IN SECOND AND
FIFTH MILITIA DISTRICTS.

RecOmme of Last Grand
Jury Against Number of Justices
Had no Weight-Thomas F. Shelf
tail VIII Succeed G. Noble Jones
in SecOnd-W. ii. Kidweu win
Succeed Justice Brown in Fifth.
Justice Brown Resigned in Ac-
cOrdance With Accommodation
of Previous Grand Jury.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
last grand jury had recommended that
some means be sought to reduce the
number of justices of the peace at its
meeting yesterday. the grand jury rec
commended two applicants for appoint
ment, and the appointments were made
at once by Judge Cam. Those recon-
mended for Office are Thomas F. Shelf
tall in the Second district and w. H.
Kidwell in the Fifth district
The grand jury first took up several
criminal matters. These were speed
lily disposed of, and the question of
justices was then taken UP. 1t was
this action which was awaited with
considerable interest, and besides some
of the candidates, there were a num-
Der of interested persons who waited
about the Court House corridors until
the report was made.
The first taken up was that of a
successor to Justice G. Noble Jones in
the Second district. 1t was this office
which was considered the greatest prize

citing. So interested did the two lead
ing candidates become that one of
them, Mr.. w. F. Constantine, had
threatened Mr.. Carr, clerk of the court,
with a mandamus if he did not show
the list of those composing the jury.
Were Three Candidates.
Besides Mr.. Constantine, there were
two contestants for the Office Mr..
Thomas F. Sheftall, the successful
candidate, and Mr.. w. H. Wade. Mr.
Wade did not enter the race until
comparatively late, yet his petition
went before the grand jury with a
large number of signers. When the
vote was taken the office was award
ed to Mr.. Sheftall, large majority of
the jurors supporting his candidacy.
Though it was known that there was
a vacancy in the Fifth district, it was
not thought that any one would be
recommended to fill the Office, owing to
the reasons why the vacancy existed.
The vacancy was caused by the resig-
nation of Justice Brown, who gave as
his reasons the recommendation of the
last grand jury against the number of
justices.
When this vacancy was considered
it was found that there was an almost
unanimous opinion among the jurors
as to who should fill it. After only
d short discussion vote was taken,
and the Office awarded to Mr.. w. H.
Kidwell. This Recommendation filled
all the existing vacancies.
Appointments by Judge Cam.
1t was after o'clock when the
grand jury filed into court. The re-
commentator regarding the justices
ex-officio were presented to the court
in writing by the foreman. After
thanking the jury for it's work and
stating that he would appoint the gem
tlemen recommended, Judge Cam dis
missed them.
The orders appointing Mr.. Sheftall
to the justiceship in the Second Dis
trict and Mr.. Kidwell in the Fifth were
then drawn up and were at once sign
ed by Judge Cam.

Three boxing events constituted the

the local colored welterweight cham

other local dusky boxer with cham

Jolly, Sheehan and Blood were the
winners after a lively bout in each
case. and one that ended in a knock
out before any of the bouts had reach

Improvement over that with which the
club was revived a week ago. and IL

plans are now being made TO get sew

themselves or with some of the local
boxers.
sheehan the Better General.
OF chief interest last night was the
mill between Sheehan and Dempsey.
Dempsey was game and made the bout
interesting, but Sheehan clearly out
classed him in experience and kept a
very effective punch throughout the
game something that Dempsey lacked
after the first few rounds. Again Demp-
sey showed his greenness by not know
ing what to do when in close quarters.
He had the amateurs love for a
swing, and insisted on trying for them
even where a straight punch or
short-arm jolt would have been much
more effective. and would besides have
helped him by saving his wind.
Despite these shortcomings Dempsey
made an unusually good showing
against his man and managed to stay

There are many superstitions in the
minds of sailors about christening a
vessel, says the Philadelphia Record.
When the Kentucky was launched
and this is simply an illustration of the
point-the Womans Christian Tenn
perance Union succeeded in having the
ship baptized with water instead of the
usual bottle of champagne. But, at the
same time, and in spite of the triumph
of the temperance enthusiasts, big
delegation of Kentuckians came to the
launching to pay tribute to their native
state. The bottle of water was duly
cracked over the Kentucky's bows, but
as the big hulk slid down the ways
hundreds of half-pint TASKS of old
Bourbon were yanked from hip pockets
and hurled against the sides of the yes
sci. Apropos of this well-remembered
incident, Capt. ]. G. Sanford OF the
engineer corps in charge of the Del
aware river improvement let drop re-
mark the other day to the effect that
the government was about to have
new dredge built to facilitate the work.
Now, dredge is not a very imposing
vessel, but ii seems that the sailors
superstition holds good, even in this
humble case. What are you going TO
call her?" asked an inquisitive friend.
That's a secret" replied Capt San
ford. THE dredge isn't under way yet,
and the selection of a name before the
work of construction has actually be-
gun is regarded In the navy as pre-
saying bad luck"

In the first bout the same causes
that led TO a victory for Sheehan were
potent in JOllys favor. He knew more
about the game, and had more wind
and a better head. Both men gave

No sooner was he up than Jolly rush
