Child Drowned at Paris.

A special to the Boise News from
Paris, Idaho, says:
A sad accident happened on the
farm of Oliver jacobson situated a
mile south of the central part of

a bright little fellow two years and
six months old. The little girl by
the way, left her baby brother for
a few minutes while she gathered
some flowers. Near by was slough

in her childish rapture over flowers.

THE CHURCH WON.
Big Suit Against BoDdsmen Of Execu.
tor of Mason Estate.

A matter that has been for sever
al years in litigation in Benton &c. +,
was settled Monday by decision in
the supreme curt. Several years
ago J.L. Akin became executor of
the Hannah and Peter w. Mason es-
tate, which estate held his note for
$500, and interest. 1t subsequently
developed that Akin was insolvent.
The legal question as to whether in
spite OF his insolvency he was, as
executor officially responsible for
the amount OF his liability to the
estate Suit was brought by the
United Brethren church and Mrs.
Margery Davisson to determine the
question. and, after adjudication in
the circuit court, where the plaintiffs
won, the case was carried to the
supreme court, where Akin lost a
gain. -
J.W.Ing1e and J. Q. Rogers were
bondsmen for Akin. The question
then arose if these bondsmen were
not, as his sureties, liable to the es-
tate for its claim against Akin, the
executor, in spite of the iatter's in

EFFECT OF CAPTURE.

EFFECT OF CAPTURE.
1t is believed that the removal of
Creffield from the community will
give his followers a chance to re.
cover mental balance. AS long as
he was able to remain in communi-
cation with them, and play the
martyr before them, they became
worse. 1t was always mysterious
to those who suffered from condi.
tions Creffield made, how it was
that his followers grew worse in
stead of better, after his disappear
ance. They did not know then, as
they do now, that from his pit un.
der the northeast corner of the
Hurt house, be was giving out rev.
lations and apostolic DEGREES to his
victims. It is an explanation Of
why after Creffield disappeared,
hats and shoes were discarded by
members of the sect, all OF whom
knew of his whereabouts, and of his
orders. If now, the law puts him
where he can no longer eommuni-
cate with theml lit is believed that
they will gradually pass out from
the diabolical influence that he
seems to have over those foolish
enough to accept him as a real
man of God, instead of the monu-
mental humbug and viper that he

MARYLAND has now full fledged
"Jim Crow" law that sharply draws
the line between the blacks and
the whites in public conveyances,
and which will probably be rigidly
enforced in that state. In addition
70 this the Legislature has passed a
bill and it is now up to the Cover
nor of Maryland for signing, which
will not only disfranchise the negro,
but will practically reenact the old
election laws of Maryland, by which
the German element is expected to
fasten its rule upon the state and
the city of Baltimore. This is possi-
bic, by the wording of the new law,
which creates a partisan election
board with full powers to decide as
to who may or may not register and
vote at the elections. This character
of laws is a fair sample of what tine
people of Delaware may expect from
the democrat party of Delaware
should they again get control. The
idea that thenegro, or the non-prop-
erty holding white man, can not be
disfranchised without a change in
theconstitution of the state of Della
ware, is but an idle dream and the
Eapidity of Maryland in devising
methods for disfranchisment would
be slow in comparison to the work
in this line by the democrats of
Delaware.
