 Mobile, Dec. .. L. Ducourneau's application for a mandamus to comrel the city to issue him a license to conduct a music hall outside the restricted district, was to- day denied by Judge Brown in the Cir cult Court
 The court sustained the citys de- murrer to Ducourneaus contention that the establishing of the restricted dis- trict was unconstitutional The court upheld the city's contention that 1t had the right to regulate a combina- tion of amusement and liquor trade just as it has the right to regulate either or both by prohibiting the com duct of an authorized business except within certain areas.
 This contention was based on ex parte Byrd from the city decided by the Supreme Court some years since as a judicial interpretation of the meaning of the word "regulate' as used in the City Charter. Counsel for Ducourneau, who is trying to run music hall few rods outside the restricted district, gave notice that he would appeal

Enlist. MJndcr Conditions.

Henry Shepard, negro. who halls from Pensacola, has just been given a very peculiar privilege by the enlist ment officers of the United States army. He Is a former soldier. having served two terms of enlistment, with honor able discharges for both. In re-enlist- ing he was permitted to name condi- tion upon which he would agree to again join the army.
 He was in the 18th Infantry and the 9th Cavalry when in the army before, serving last in company 'I' of the 9th Cavalry. In this troop he hads fine reputation as a sharpshooter, but this reputation was dimmed by the fact that the troop boasted another sharp shooter, one Hawkins by name, who is accounted one cf the best in all the regiments of the army of the United States.
 Now Shepard does not like the idea of playing second fiddle to any man however good, and he would re-enlist only upon the condition that he should he assigned to another troop His record was so good that Lieutenant Bennett of the local recruiting station agreed to his condition. and Shepard put down his name for his third enlist ment in the army.

A Visit to Mcdowell Battlefield.

Mr.. Washington Snyder, who is
visiting his old Highland home and
friends, paid visit to the Mellow
ell battlefield last Wednesday
Messrs. j. Lunsford, W. A. Gun
ningham and Henry A. Slaven &C
companied him.
In spite Of the rain, which began
falling about noon, the visit was
pleasant and profitable one to the
old verterans, and especially so to
Mr. Snyder in whose honor the Wis
it was made. He succeeded in find
ing some splendid and valued sou.
venirs. From saw.mill, near by
a piece Of chestnut plank was got
ten, showing one half of musket
ball, through which the saw had
passed, but firmly inbeddcd. in the
wood. Several others were foun
on the ground and cut from the
timber on the famous field. Other
remembrancers that were secured
were an old army pistol, a SIX
pound solid shot, a well-preseryed
bomb.shell, which has never been
exploded. The solid shell referred /
to was found Immediately where
Johnson's horse was shot
from under him, and, in view of
the fact that so few such shots
were free, 1.-THE belief that this is the
ball which struck his horse gives it
added value as a relic, and the
claim is backed by very strong
probability. An old rusty bayonet
md q brass button from yankee
lnifore were also secured.
AS will be remem bered, this bat.
lie was fought May 9Th, '62-forty-
our years ago last May, and Mr.
snyder is justly proud Of the re-
ult of this "still hunt" He is
'ery grateful to his old comrades
nd others who accompanied him to
he field and aided him in securing
hese souvenirs to take with him to
lis home in the far West.

in the words Of the poet:
eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread,
While Glory guards with solemn
mind,
The bivouac of the dead"
