Charged With Violating Liquor kow.

Capt. l.. A. Leighton of South Haven,
manager of the Michigan steamship line,
having been previously arrested for a
violation of the liquor law, was arraigned
before Justice q. w. Rowland, Wednes-
day morning, charged, not with a viola
ton of the local option law as reported
from South Haven, but with violation
of a section of the general laws OF the
state reading as follows:
at shall he unlawful for any person,
directly or indirectly, himself, or by his
clerk, servant, agent or employee, to en-
gage in the business of selling, keeping
for sale, or to offer, sell, furnish. deliver
or give to any person, spirituous, intox-
icating, malt, brewed, fermented or vim
Gus liquors, or any beverage, liquor or
liquids containing any spirituous or in
toxicating liquor, upon any waters with
in the jurisdiction of this state lying
outside the boundaries of any city, vii
lage or township. Provided, however,
that the provisions of this act shall not
apply to sales made upon passenger
boats legally licensed and registered un-
der the laws of the United States while
en- route running between ports on reg
ularly established lines" The penalty
provided for any violation of this statute
is, for the first otlense, fine of not less
than 500 and not more than 5000 and
costs of prosecution, or imprisonment in
the county Jail not less than 40 days and
not more than six months, or both, in
the discretion of the court. Every sub
sequent offense is made a felony to be
punished by fine of from 500 to 5000
or Imprisonment 10 the state prison from
80 days to two years
The alleged violation is claimed to
have occurred on board the steamer
Eastand while taking Sunday eXcur-
sion few miles out into the lake and
back, the vessel not being at the time
sailing on any regularly established route
between ports. Mr.. Leighton waived
examination and gave bail to appear at
the next term of the circuit court with
John Mackey as surety. Should the
trial result in conviction the case is likely
to be fought through all the higher
courts.

Democratic Nominations.

The democratic congressional conven-
ton met in Paw Paw, Tuesday after
noon. 1t had been reported that Coy
Hendryx of Dowagiac was slated for the
nomination, but he "shied" at the big
republican majority 10 the district and
placed the name of Fred b. Collins, sher-
if of Berrieu county, before the conven-
ton. He received the nomination with
out opposition, either on his part or
from the convention-but he wasn't
present, although be will accept the
task of letting Ed. Hamilton beat him,
because he owes it to his party.
The senatorial convention for this dis
trict was held at the same place, after
the adjournment of the congressional
convention, and John Cook of Van Buren,
county was nominated for state senator.
This, also, is an empty honor, and
Johnnie" will never be any more EMIT
led to be called senator than numerous
Kentucky gentlemen are to be called
colonel. Jason Woodman will succeed
himself in the state senate.
Both conventions were devoid Of any
nerve racking Incidents, as democratic
conventions usually are in this locality.
