RALEIoH. N. c., Aug. I8.-When the mex
session Of the State Legislature shall nave
completed its work there will be a new and
rigid law on the statute books. absolutely
prohibiting both the manufacture and sale
Of all intoxicating liquors within the State
Of North Carolina. according to the predic-
ions of some good judges Of political in
dications.
IL ia this question OF State prohibition
that is probably going to land Gov. Glenn
in the Senate at Washington as the sue
cessor Of Senator Overman eighteen months
hence. Gov. Glenn has within the last
year OF two become the chief State pro-
hibition apostle in North Carolina. Last
fall he went further than the president of the
State Anti-Saloon League would go and at
the Presbyterian Church At Raleigh ne de-
livered an address in which he declared for
State prohibition.
The president Of the State anti saloon
league. Josiah William Baily. is still op-
posed to legislating prohibition for a COM
munity when the majority Of the people
OF such community. be il State or county
or town. are opposed to prohibition. Gov.

QUEER BANKRUPTCY CASE.
-----
Syracuse student Tries To Avoid Paying
Damages for shooting . o.

UTICA. Aug. I8.-Behind the filing of =
petition in bankruptcy in the United States
District Court in the city to-day there lies
the story Of an accidental shooting in the
Adirondacks two years z in which SYRIA
cuse parties we're concerned. h bank
rupt is Thomas W. Eagan. a Syracuse law
student, and his Liabilities amoun toabout
$4,000, with practically but one creditor.
John f. McGinn. until recently a resident
against Pagan in the Supreme Court there
last May. IL ia TO get rid OF this judgment
that Pagan has gone into bankruptcy.
Two years ago this fall Pagan and Me-
CHM were among a party OF hunters stop
ping at Mountain View. in the Adirondacks.
Eagan was in the hotel Office one evening
handling a rife. which he supposed was not
loaded. He was cleaning It and had the
muzzle depressed when the gun vac dis
charged and a bullet struck Mc0inn. splin-
tering the bones in his FOOT and gripping
him permanently.
Everything that was possible for Nc
Ginn's care was ordered by Pagan, includ-
ing the best surgeons that could be secured
in the northern part of the State. These bills
Pagan assumed, and some time later Nc
CHM made a demand upon him for several
thousand dollars in damages. Eagan re-
fused TO settle. on the ground that the shoot
ing was entirely an accident and that he
had used every ~precaution possible. N that
McGinn's injury was u just az much to
his own carelessness as to that OF Pagan.
The case went 70 trial in Syracuse and a
judgment for t4.i2S was secured against
Pagan on May rs. McGinn has left the State
and his present residence is not known.
