In the Recorders Court.

Recorder Hurst heard today the
case Of the city VS.. Oscar Williams, in
dicted for breach Of trust. The facts
Of the case warranted the recorder in
allowing a compromise, which was af-
fected by the payment by the defend
ant to the prosecutor Of $40.
Friday the recorder received a
telegram from the chief Of police Of
Camden, stating that Willie Ramsey,
who was accused Of stealing clothes
from Joe Mccoy, had been captured.
Recorder Hurst consented to his re-
ease upon the payment of a fine Of
$4,000.
Recorder Hurst had all he could
do when he opened court Monday.
Caroline Henderson was arrested by
officers Tr;hb!e and Owens by the di-
rection Of Constable Scarborough for
the illict sale of whiskey. The defend
ant plead not guilty, but she was
convicted and has already entered up
on her sentence of 80 days in Jail in
default of the payment of fine Of $50.
The arrests OF Charles Delaney and
Moses Woodward for disturbance of
the peace are credited to officers Cal
To- III, <n10 n no
charged Woodward was found guilty
and paid fine of IS.
Elliott Thompson was escorted to
the Jail Saturday night in a terrible
state of intoxication by Officers Pier
son and Gallagher. He admitted his
guilt and was permitted to go upon
the payment of a fine Of $500.
officers Tribble and Owens arrested
jim Bradley and Isaac Spann for dis
turbing the peace. Recorder Hursl
had no evidence against the latter, and
he was discharged; the former was
sentenced to pay a fine Of $40 or TO
serve on the gang for 20 days.
Dr.. Buzzard, with several aliases,
was taken charge Of for obtaining
goods and money under false pretenses
by pretending to tell fortunes and SELL
ing hands. officers Tribble and Ow-
ems effected his arrest. The defendant

to so to the gang for 20 days.

Clerk r. A. Weldon Resigns and is
Succeeded by Mr.. II. j. Seymour.


Mr.. r. A. Weldon, who has been
clerking in the dispensary for several
years, handed his resignation to Dis
penser Windham on Thursday. His
reason for leaving the dispensary was
the enforcement Of the rule regarding
each purchaser Of liquor to sign the
request book. Mr.. Weldon stated that
it was a physical impossibility for the
force in the dispensary to fill out the
request books and wait on the trade
and he did not propose to undertake
to do it. He said also that no man
could stand up to the work he would
have to perform under this rule.
Heretofore the force employed in
the dispensary has had all it could do
to keep up with the work without
bothering with the request books, and
the enforcement of the request book
rule means double work for the clerks,
at least.
officer H. ]. Seymour, of the city
police force, was offered the position
made vacant by Mr.. Weldon's resig-
nation. He resigned from the police
force and Friday morning entered
upon his duties as dispensary clerk

COL. ELLIOTT HONORED.

Washington. March 16.-Col. Wm.
Elliott was today appointed by Secre-
tary Of War Taft as commissioner to
mark Confederate graves. Col. Elliotts
appointment, although. it was by no
means a surprise, was the cause of
much pleasure and qualification
among the South Carolina delegation
in Congress. and his many other
friends and supporters in Washington.
Representative Lever. in whose dis
trict Col Elliott resides, and who
claims the honor of being the first
one TO take the 4natter of Col. Elliott's
appointment UP with the president. in
conversation today expressed himself
as very much pleased With the selec-
ton made by Secretary Taft.

What came very near being Sc

averted this morning. Mr. ]. A.

gathered in the yard Of the depot.
The horse Of Manson Jenkins,

pectedly turned to the left and dashed
unheeding!y through the assembled
vehicles, and went at full speed for
Earvin street. The horse ran into
fence at the corner by the telephone
factory. kicked out and left the car
riage partly suspended in the air with
a small oak tree protruding through
the top.
A number of other horses seemed
greatly alarmed by the terror Of the
other animal, and dashed helter-skel-
ter in all directions. The horse be-
linging to Willis Moses dashed across
the fence on the depot grounds. car

be hard to describe the chaos and con-
fusion that reigned for a few minutes,
and it looked as if general stampede
would happen. Luckily the drivers
reached their horses in time to prevent
further damage.
