LIGHT SENTENCE FOR
YOUNG PISTOL T0TER,

His Previous Good Character Saved
n Heavy Sentence.
Enoch Thomas, a young negro boy,
was yesterday declared guilty Of car
rying concealed weapons and was SEN
fenced by Judge Cam to serve term
of three months in Jail in case he could
not pay a fine of $25. Young Thomas
is the negro who accidentally shot a
companion in the basement of the Ger
mania Bank building.
Col. Robert L. Colding. who repre-
scented the boy. called the attention of
the court to his previous good char
acter, and to the fact that he was a
hard and regular worker. In pro-
nouncing sentence, Judge Cam stat
ed that he would take this into con-
sideration and make the sentence as
light as he consistently could. Then
turning to the boy the court said:
THE carrying of concealed weapons
is one of the most unfortunate habits
that seems to prevail in the South. 1t
is especially prevalent among the peo-
pie of your race. This court intends
to do all it can towards breaking up
the habit of carrying deadly weapons.
In this case, however, 1 will consider
your previous character, and make the
sentence a light one"

ALL HANDS AGREE
ABOUT FOUNTAINS.
They VIII he in Place by the END
of This Week.

At Joint meeting of the Park and
Tree Commission and the Water Com
mittee of Council yesterday afternoon,
it was decided that the three fountains
purchased by the Water Committee
should be placed in the parks and
squares selected by that committee,
but that the commission should have
the right to locate the fountains in
these places. Chairman Daffin of the
commission, and Supt. Kinsey of the
waterworks, will to-day agree upon
the locations for the fountains.
The Water Committee decided some
time ago that the fountains were to
be placed on Emmett Park, Thomas
Park and Chippewa Square. The ex-
act location in these places will be
agreed upon to-day and the fountains
will all be in place by the last of the
week.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
Col. Garrard. the city attorney, was
present to explain the law relative to
the squares to those present. He said
the Water Committee undoubtedly had
the right to place the fountains In
the squares, but that the committee
must submit the matter to the Park
and Tree Commission and that the
commission had the right to locate the
fountains so that the beauty of the
squares would not be injured.

"BILL BAILEY" FREE
OF ROBBERY CHARGE,
AIibi Was Proved and His Acquittal
Followed.


BILLY Williams" alias "Bill Bailey"
and Haskell Mitchell, both colored,
were yesterday acquitted of a charge
of robbery. The circumstances of the
case have already been published in
the Morning News, the state claim
ing that the two had assaulted and
robbed old Mary Mongin, colored, near
Montgomery.
The Mongin woman was the chief
witness for the state and she was very
positive in her Identification of the de-
PENDANTS. Mr.. John Rourke, Jr., at
torney for the defendants, cross-ques-
toned the witness closely as to her
certainty in the identification, but
failed to shake her testimony. The
woman finally closed the argument on
this point by rising from the witness
chair and excaiming, in response to
a question as to how she knew the de-
PENDANTS were the ones who assaulted
her: God done put two eyes in my
ole haid t see wiz an thank de Lawd,
Use not blin'.".
The defense of alibi was complete,
one white witness testifying that I'M
der the circumstances it would have
been impossible for the defendants to
have been on the scene at the time of
the robbery. Evidence of good char
acter was also introduced and this re-
NAMED uncontroverted.

OPENING OF STREET
WILL CAUSE FIGHT.
Thirty-Fifth street VIII BE Taken
I'D by Council.


I'D by Council.
The opening of Thirty-fifth street,
between Bull and Barnard streets, will
be brought up at the meeting of Coun-
ell tonight, Alderman Glatigny of the
South Side says. There is strong feel
ing both for and against the opening
of the street, and a lively fight is
likely to ensue.
Those who favor opening the street
say it is badly needed, and that it can
be done for less money now than in
the future. A strong fight is being
made to get the street open, a petit
ton from property owners in the vi
entity having already been presented
Council 1t is said that this will be
followed by a big petition from the
South Side improvement Committee
tonight. Alderman Glatigny has an
nounced his intention of bringing the
matter up tonight and trying to get
a resolution through authorizing the
purchase of the necessary land to open
the street.
Those who oppose the plan say it
will involve a useless expenditure of
money, and that the property owners
are charging eXOrbitant prices because
they think the city is obliged to open
the street. The matter will be fought
out tonight, if it comes up as an
nounced. 1t was brought up in Coun-
ell several weeks ago, and the entire
Board of Aldermen went out to look
at the street. But for the last several
meetings there have been a number of
absentees, and for this reason the
matter has been postponed.
There very few matters to come up,
that have so far been handed to the
clerk of Council, and most Of these
are of minor Importance and of lit
tie interest. There are few petitions,
but none of any Importance so far.
The Committee of the Whole will prob
ably report upon the petition to amend
the paWnbrokers' ordinance tonight.
The petition asks that the city strike
out that portion of the ordinance which
provides the rate of interest that may
be charged.
The Finance Committee will prob
ably report favorably on the petition
of q. w. Cubbedge and others, asking
to be relieved from the West Broad
street paving assessment. Mr.. Cub
hedge and his associates own strip
of land not more than three feet wide,
which runs along the street for 100
feet, and they have been assessed for
the paving just the same as though
their property ran all the way through
the block They are legally liable but
the city will probably let them off
from paying. as the land is not worth
as much as the paving bill amounts
to. In opening the street this portion
of lot was left over The owner did
not even know it belonged to them
until the city sent them the bill.

demeanor He was sentenced to pay a
fine of 500 or serve twelve months on

other negro on account of trouble over
woman, and in imposing sentence,
Judge Cam said:
THE people of your race seem to
think that they can pick up a woman
and run with her awhile. and that
then, if they see another man with
her, that they can shoot him. This
court is going to disabuse your minds
of that idea. In the first place, these
common women that you pick up are
not worth so much serious trouble
In the second place, you should know
that if you can pick them up, so can
any other man."
