Corporal of Guard at Fort Brown on
 Stand.
 San Antonio, March 9.-Samue Wheeler, a negro, who was a corporal of the guard at Fort Brown on the night of the shooting there. was or the stand today in the Penrose court martial case. He was at the guard house at the time of the shooting.
 He said it sounded first like pistols then shot guns and pistols mixed. He heard a number of bullets go over head. He told the guard to lie down and they did so.
 This contradicted Clerk Matlock's testimony of yesterday, who said the men did not lie down. The cross ex. animation of Wheeler will begin Mon- day.

.DASHES DOWN HILL
COURT STREET CAR JUMPS TRACK
 AND GOES 15O YARDS.
Is Stopped Only By Street Curb At Bottom of HfIl--Passengers Es- cape From Runaway Car
 Umhurt.

A dull rumbling. somewhat resemb- ling cannonnading. startled the resi- dents in the vicinity of South Court street and Jefferson Davis Avenue about II o'clock last night, when Court street car No. 96 left the curve at the corner of those streets and ran wildly down South Court street for nearly 150 yards, until stopped by the curbing on the east side of the street. Three pas sengers. two white persons and one ne- gro, were in the car during the perilous plunge into the dark. but they escap- ed unhurt. Singularly, too, the car emerged from the run without material damage. One seat was damaged and the car was probably scratched up a bit
 The car was in charge of Conductor A D. Wingard and Motorman w. l.. Brown. Motorman Brown said that the car was proceeding at a rapid speed out South Court street and, on reach ing South street, he attempted to put on the brakes. but they wouldn't t work As a last resort, he reversed the current lever but 1t had no effect, and the ear dashed wildly from the curve on reaching Jefferson Davis Ave- nue and did not stop until it encoun- tered the sidewalk curbing in the sandy bottom below.
 Very soon after the incident occur red, street car inspector was on the scene and viewed the stray car with the assistance of lantern. He thought 1t would be impossible to move the car before morning. It will probably present quite a problem to movo the car up the hill to the track.

Queer Things About the People Of That
Queer Country,

According to the authors Of "Queer
Things About Persia" cruelty Is COM
mon there. The eXecutioner cuts
throats in a public square. and the
spectacle excites little interest. Grim
inals are sometimes cruc!fied and
sometimes walled up alive. Women
for certain offenseS are cast headlong
from tower. The Persian is a gen.
tleman of surprising courtesy and
politeness. but say these writer's: 1.-THE
same man who drops rose petals under
your feet in order to make them avoid
the hardness Of the road will not hest
tate to make you suffer the most cruel
fortunes. He delights in the murmur
of the riyulet in the moonshine. but
the sound Of blood flowing from an
open wound has also for him it's fas
cination. The singing Of the nightin-
gale fills him with rapture in the
night. but he quivers with pleasure at
the cry Of pain from a victim" Also
they affirm that lying is an institution
and no one condemns 1t. THE Persia n
does not consider a lie a sin. He
thinks that We have bad opinion of
lying because we DO not know how to
lie. and if he shows an unbounded
confidence in everything the Europeans
say 1t is chiefly because he thinks We
are totally devoid OF the gift"

Penalties Of Beins Bachelor,

The ancient Romans were severe
with their bachelors. who were made
to pay heavy fines. and. worse than
that, CamilIus. after the siege of Veil,
is recorded to have compelled them to
marry the widows of the soldiers who
had fallen In war. In the time of
Augustus married men were preferred
for public office. The Romans who
had three children were exempted
from personal taxes. and the bachelors
had to pay them. Plato condemned
single men to a fine. and at Sparta
they were driven at certain times to
the temple Of Hercules by the wo-
men. who castigated them In true mil
itary style. In the French settlements
OF Canada women were sent over after
the men. and the single men. that they
might be forced to marry. were sub
jected to a heavy tax and to restric.
tions on their business and their move
ments generally.

HONESTY AS A POLICY.
Reflections Of a JaiIer Whose Wife

Reflections Of JaiIer Whose Wife
Took a Prisoners Cake.
Rather an original story comes from
the criminal prison at Warsaw. A
bookkeeper named Schneider was
awaiting his trial being charged with
fraud. AS his health was bad. his
family sent him many little delicacies
unknown in the prison fare. delicacies
which. no doubt. the head warder
shared with him.
One day. among other things. huge
iced cake appeared The warder' s
children were fond OF cake and SO was
his wife. They therefore determined
to keep half of it for themselves. Their
surprise was great when upon apply
ing knife to the dainty 1t stuck just
below the icing and refused to go any
farther.
1T must be baked to a cinder," said
Mrs. Warder. But her good man. sus
pecting that something worFe than
careless baking was responsible for
the cakes hardness. cut round the
sides and was rewarded by finding a
revolver and seven cartridges buried
in the paste.
When brought up before the authori.
ties Schneider confessed that he had
intended to shoot his guardians and
escape from prison before his trial

Sustsininn His Eenutation.

A story is told of the Prince de Con-
tt, whose reputation for cruelty stood
high, He was going to mass with
some ladies when his bailiff asked for
instructions concerning a poacher who
had just been caught on the grounds.
Give him 100 stripes and imp Ison
him in a dungeon for two years." was
the answer.
One lady, horror stricken, went to
the bailih afterward, but he only
laughed in her face.
THE prince only said that to keep
up bis reputation. His royal highness
came to me directly after mass and
begged me 10 sec that the poor wretch
was only sent away from the neiGhbor-
hood for two months and that his fam
lily was we'll looked after during his

Objects to Some Statements
Made Concerning Former
Richmond Man.
FEES NOT CONC EALED
LAW OF 1907, UNDER WHICH At
TORNEY GENERAL is NOW ACT
ING, HE CLAIMS, WOULD MEAN
CCNFlSCATiOM.

W. W. Thornton, a lawyer and eX-
reporter of the Supreme court of the
state, has been retained by William T.
Noble, an eX-clerll of the supreme
court, and formerly of Richmond. who
is defending suit brought by AttOr-
ney General Bingham to recover GER
tain fees or costs said to be in the
Hess, Andrew M. Sweeney and Noble,
all former clerks of the supreme and
appellate courts. Mr.. Thornton, dis
cussing the suits, said: These gentle
men, when they retired from the of.
fee did SO just as all their predecessors
had done. If the state can go back
to the time of Mr.. Sherrin or Mr. No
Bile, it can go back to 1858, for all Of
the clerks since that date have follow
ed the same practice. When Mr..
Sherrin. Mr.. Noble, Mr.. Sweeney and
Mr.. Hess retired from Office there was
no statute authorizing them to turn
over these sheriffs costs and trans
cript fees, nor any of the amounts sued
for, to their successors, whatever the
attorney general may say to the con.
trary, and they were SO advised by
counsel. If they had turned these
sums over to their successors and
these successors had embezD.ed these
amounts or refused to pay them out on
proper application the ywould have tc
pay them again. l hold that the
statement that there was a law requir-
ing them to turn over these fees is err
roneous."
Speaking for Mr.. Noble. he has
never, except in one instance, refused
to pay over the fees entitled to them
Certain persons claiming to act under
general powers of attorney, have In
time demanded some Of these fees
but in the case of Mr.. Noble, he was
advised by the attorney general ond b.
one of the judges of the supreme
court that their powers of attorney
were void.
BY the statute of 1907 the state OF
/ Indiana now seeks to take these fee:
the state treasury. I hold 1t is an act
Of conflscation.
In the complaint against Mr.. No
BILE the attorney general charges thai
he concealed the fact that he had col
lected these fees. This is denied. Nc
one ever entitled to examine the rec
ords Will he was in Office was denied
access to them: and that is true of al
his successors"
