The judges of the superior court OF
this county were elected by the people
with the expectation that they would
see that the laws were enforced. This
was not an unreasonable expectation,
because It Is the plain duty of the
Judges either to compel the sheriff
and prosecuting attorney to arrest
those openly and defiantly engaged
in violating the criminal statutes. or
to call grand jury.
Every one of our Judges knows
that it was made felony by the last
legislature to conduct slot machine,
and every one Of them knows that
there are at least 100 slot machines
now being openly conducted in this
city in fragrant violation of that law.
Every one of them knows that the
prosecuting attorney and sheriff per-

eight men, composed, it is alleged, of
Morgan Curry and two brothers, Lewis
and Charles Dillon; Stewart McNeally

Tug River, 10 miles, into West Virginia.
He paid his captors $500 TO spare his
life, and later he gave them a COW to
release him. The men refused to ac-
cept Wallace's check, but John Y. York,
a merchant, accepted it and gave them
his own check This episode was the re-
suit Of trouble which occurred about
three weeks ago about 10 miles up Tug
River. The men concerned live in that
neighborhood and some OF them are al
legged TO have been in the liquor busi-
ness. Wallace was one of these. Oppo-
sition grew so strong, il is said, that it
resulted i'll raid on Walaccs place,
which was destroyed. During the trou-
bic Mrs. Wallace was shot in the leg
and ball from her rillc entered Tom
Curry's breast. Wallace secured war

Bodies Recovered.

Charleston, w. Va, Especially Two
persons were killed and FIVE others SER
iously injured by the collapse of the sus-
pension bridge across the Elk River,
which connects East and West Charles
ton. On the bridge when it went down
were six children on their way 10
school and number of other pedes-
trians, together with six teams.
The bridge went down without warn
ing, but a number of those who were
near the end of the structure managed
to reach land before it collapsed, Those
who went down with the wreckage fell
a distance of 4 feet into the ice-covered
waters Of the river.
The steamer Baxter broke the ice to
allow small boats TO reach the scene
and the rescue work began Immediately.
The injured were first assisted to
shore and later a search was made OF
the river for dead bodies. The bodies
of Mamie Higginbotham and Annie
Humphreys were taken out and the
search continued until nightfall, but no
others were found.
The bridge was a single span, 500
feet in length, and was built in 1852. 1t
had been known 10 be unsafe for some
time, and heavy traffic was not allowed

The House Committee on District OF
Columbia authorized report on the res
olution making provision for the in

sional Library for the Pension Building.
The objection was urged to the use
OF the Congressional Library that its
interior arrangement consists OF series
of rooms and that rs construction would
not permit of the assemblage OF large
crowd in one large room, as is possible
in the Pension Building 1t was also
urged that not nearly so many persons
would be able TO see the President. and,
further, that large portion OF the crowd
would be OH the second floor of the
building, while in the Pension Building
persons would assemble on the first
floor.
Mr.. Babcock, chairman of the District
committee, asked as to the stability OF
the Capitol rotunda, but the suggestion
was opposed on the ground that with
Congress in session up 10 March no
opportunity would be given to make
necessary preparations.

Torpedo Goats Sunk By Mines.

Chefoo (By Cable c).-Passenger who

official Japanese reports of the sinking
Of various Russian ships recently at Port
Arthur. They say the japanese would
have been able to accomplish this in the
past two months, but apparently pre-

1t is believed the destruction OF the
Russian ships indicates that the Japa-

three torpedo boats within the past
month by mines. the last one sinking
during the night attack of December
