 Injured.

 Readville. Mass, Aug. 22.-After three of the closest finishes seen in the present grand circuit meeting here Kruger was to-day returned the win ner of the Norfolk stake. valued at $6,000. While scoring for the first heat, Sam Rysdyk, Wilson Addington and Miss Gay collided at the wire Lester Dore of Taunton, Mass, driver of Miss Gay, was thrown ten feet in the air and landed fully thirty feet in front of his mare. He escaped with a badly sprained ankle. Cox, who was behind Wilson Addington, was thrown against the fence, but was not injured. None of the horses was hurt in the mix up.
 Geers set the pace in the opening heat with John A., to the distance, when Mcdonald brought up Kruger with q rush, winning by neck. In the following heat Geers allowed Kru- ger to lead till near the finish when he outbrusned the gelding, gaining the decision by a narrow margin. In the final heat, Mcdonald dropped directly behind John A., and again brought Kruger ahead in a desperate drive through the home stretch, while DarlSy Hal just nipped second posi- ton. Kruger is the property of Ralph B. Williams of Boston.
 Athasham surprised the talent by taking the Ponhapoag, valued at A. 500.

BOOZE FIGHTERS HAPPY
Over Nomination in Mississippi of Noel
for Governor--Is an Out and
Out ProhibitiOnist.

The prohibitionists in Mississippi are
wearing broad smiles these days, and
the cause of their good humor is the
election Of Hon. e. f. Noel to the gov
ernorship, which they regard as almost
equivalent to the enactment of stat.
utory prohibition law that will put
every saloon in the state out of bust
ness.
Although Mr.. Noel's opponent was
pledged to prohibition the temperance
leaders do not believe that he would
have given the aggressive support to
the measure that they expect from MI,
Noel, taking it for granted that the
latter will not only urge the legisla-
ture by message to put the saloon out
of business, but that he will also be-.
come a worker in the ranks, and use
his influence with the lawmakers to
secure the passage of the bill, which
means much more than his moral sup
port.
Not a saloon keeper in Mississippi
voted for Mr. Noel, and it would, there
fore, seem that the prohibitionfsts
have good grounds for rejoicing. They
have felt confident of their ability to
get the statutory measure through at
the coming session, but with pro
hibition governor in office they now
regard success as absolutely certain.
The prohibitionists will not be con
tent, however, with mere statutory
enactment, which would be subject to
repeal at any succeeding session, thus
letting down ths bars again. They will
also demand the enactment Of a con
current resolution submitting an
amendment for constitutional prohibit
ton to the people, to be voted ON in
1903. and this is where they will have
to make their main fight. The pur-
pose Of the statutory law is to be ef
fective only until prohibition can be
made a part Of the organic law.
Opposition from the National Liquor
Dealers Association is expected In
fact, it is known that the association
has already sent several scouts into
the state, doubtless for the purpose Of
ascertaining public sentiment. But the
prohibition element is in better battle
array than ever before in the state.

ner is apportioned as follows:
For general purposes, 8 $500 mills.
For the common school fund, / $4,000
mills
For the sinking fund, 1900 mills.
Total, mills a.
The increased appropriations and the
fact that the prohibition law will de-
prive the state of quarter of a mil
lion dollars in licenses made it inn
perative that the rate be raised One
of the last acts Of the recent general
assembly was a special tax act pass
ed which authorized the governor and
attorney general to make the levy at
the maximum rate allowed under the
constitution
With the increased property and cor
poration returns taxed at the rate OF

NEGRO TAKES REFUGE
In Florida Jail While Being Pursued By
Georgia Posse-Rs Charged With
Murder of Marshal.

Fearing mob of his own state
might lynch Georgia fugitive who
sought safety in the Tallahassee. Jail,
Governor Broward of Florida ordered
the Bloxham Rifles, local company,
to hold themselves in readiness for
orders.
Pursued by ten armed men in auto
mobiles, George Simms, a negro, ar
rived from near Thomasville, Ca. sur
rendered to the sheriff and was jailed.
He said ne feared he would not be
protected if caught.
Simms, it is charged, shot Marshal
Cargell of Cairo, Ga, to death Tues
day night The shooting occurred at
the cabin of Simms on the Brandon
plantation, just inside the Florida
line.
At the time of the shooting a posse
had surrounded Simms cabin to effect
the capture of another negro, Char
ley Williams, who sought refuge in
the house
1t was first reported that Williams
had killed Marshall Cargell, but it was
ascertained later, according to reports,
that Simms fired the shot.
Several other negroes have been ar
rested at Thomasville for harboring
Williams, but ne is still at large and
is now supposed to be hiding in Flor
ida woods
The negro outlaw, Charley WI.
liams, killed Sheriff Tyus, of Grady
county, August 10, while resisting ar
rest for contract jumping. He made
his escape and was Followed by a
posse headed by Marshal CargeH OF
Cairo. The marshal was shot by

fcer shot in the discharge of his duty,
and the second marshal Of that town

The governor later ordered the negro
sent to Live Oak, Fla, whore ne was
carried under a small military guard.
The guard was kept at the Live Oak
jail until O'Clock Thursday morn,
ing. when it was withdrawn There
was no evidence OF violence shown to-
ward the negro, either in Tallahassee
Or at Live Oak, and no trouble is
feared by the officers

sUsTAINs OWN ORDER.
Judge Pritchard Renders Decision Up
holding Jurisdiction of His Count
in Noted Rate Case.

Judge Prirchard, in the United
States circuit court at Asheville, N.
c., in a long-expected opinion, announc-
ed Tuesday in the rate case OF the
Southern railway against the corpora
ton commission and the attorney gen
eral of North Carolina, upholds the
jurisdiction of his court in the issu-
ance of the recent injunctions against
the officials during the railroad rate
controversy, and holds that the suit
is not one against the state within
the meaning of the federal constitution.
The decision says that a state legis-
lature cannot so frame an act as to.
deprive a citizen Of a right vouch-
safed by the federal constitution. 1t
does not possess the power ITO de-
prive this court of its jurisdiction"
The decision holds that corporation
commissions are still charged with
making rates, the only limitation
upon their power being that they
shall not make maximum rate in
North Carolina of 2 IA cents per mile. ;"
The corporation commission and the
attorney general are especially charg-
ed" with the duty of securing the
enforcement Of the section OF the pas
senger rate act which provides heavy
penalties and fines for all railroads
and their officials who refuse to com
ply with that act"
1T is inconceivable," the decision
says chat a circuit court of the Uni.
ted States in the exercise of its ju-
risdiction should be powerle3s to afford
a remedy to one who seeks to assert
a right which is guaranteed by the
constitution of the bnitsd States
This is in no sense a suit against
the state, nor can it be contended
thar the state is anywise a party in
interest, in so far as the merits of the
COuI1OfGIOS dl9 COuCCl ACu. IL CduIlUt
reasonably be insisted that this is a
suit to prevent the state from enforc-
ing any right which is possible, nor
can it be said to be a suit to compel
the pre-eminency Of an obligation Of
the state, nor does it in anywise in
volve a matter in which the state has
a pecuniary interest; the parties in
interest being the complainant on the
one side and the travelling public Oh
the other
Therefore, the questions presented
are not such as to warrant the as
sumption that this court is without
jurisdiction, and a careful study of the
circumstances attending the adoption
Of the eleventh amendment, as well
as the end to be obtained by the
adoption of the same, show conclusive.
ly that those who were se8poEsible
for its adoption never dream d that it
could be used as a means Of depriving
an American citizen Of substantial
right conferred upon him by the con
stitution OF the United States"

IL congress does not act wisely at the
