TALK OF oRpMANcE TO
CLOSE SALOONS ON DAY
PRIMARIES ARE HELD, las
ORIGINALLY INTENDED.

Owing to discrepancy in the
primary election law which does
not include clause to the effect
that saloons must close on that day,
there is talk of the passage by the
city council Of a special ordinance
remedying the defective law in that
respect. Liquor men have already
got wind of the proposition and
with their customary alacrity in
matters effecting their interests,
are beginning to buttonhole coun-
cilmen with a view of heading of
any such legislation. Such a pro-
vision was originally included in
the primary election law, and it
was supposed to pass the state
legislature in that form. But
somewhere along the route the law
was doctored and the prohibition
provision eliminated.

The bishop of Maryland was much

lowly,- and maintained school for
neglected children in one of the poor

Sun. Among the pupils was little

indicated lamentable conditions in

er told him of this little girls per-
sistent use of profanity, and asked
him to talk to her about it. Later
the good bishop called the child to
him and, after putting her at ease
by a few kind, fatherly words, told
her how very wrong it was for little
girl to swear, and hoped she would
not do it any more.

to take any newspaper. His breath
at the time smelt so of rum that it
was unpleasant to stand in front of

him go into the vacant lot by the

UNUSUAL cASEN LAURENs.
Case Before Magistrate Involving the
Killing of Negro's Horse.

LAURENs, Nov. A.-Magistratt
John M. Hudgens had before hin
yesterday for preliminary hearing {
rather unusual case. It involved, {
negro and a white man over the re
cent killing Of the formers horse
valued at $500. The magistrate took
the matter under advisement and
will render his decision later.
The case involves some singular
features. The principals in the affair
live near Park s station. A few nights
ago Mr.. w. J.. Jennings, the defend.
ant, was awakened by an unusual
noise about the house. Thinking il
was some one trying to break in on
him he opened a window and fired IL
the direction of the disturbance. AT
daylight he found a mule and horse
in his yard which he recognized as
the property of Turner billiard, a
colored farmer who lives nearby.
The horse appeared to be sick and he
went at once and notified billiard.
Mr.. Jennings assisted in treating the
horse which was apparently suffering
from an attack of collie. Finally
billiard carried the animal home and
about 10 o'clock the horse died. Just
before he died, however, it was dis
covered that he had been shot. After
his death Mr.. J. O. Templeton. on
whose place the negro lives, made an
examination of the wound and found
that the ball had entered the horses
flank ranging forward, passing
through all the animals vitals, in
cluding his heart, making its exit
near the burr of an ear. That a horse
or anything else 1*shot up" in that
fashion should survive several hours
is the puzzling question.
The defendant is charged with
'swilfully shooting the horse" He
admits shooting but had no idea or
intention of killing anything. Did
not know the animals were on the
premises, until the next morning.
The frearm used by Jennings was
cheap pistol. Of course no evidence
to this effect was heard in the pre-
liminary, but this is the version on
the side of the defense.
