MOVING A TOWN.

Incideutsl to the work ofdigging the
Panama canal, the engineers are pre-
pairing to pick up villsge that was 40
unfortunate as to establish itself in the
path Of progress.
This is the old town of Gatun which
has 1l0 buildings and a population OF
600. 1t is on the site OF the Gstun dam
and will be carried off Two miles and set
down along the Panama railroad. In
the comm ission's way of doing things,
the moving of village is about as i'm
partsnt as saving of leg.
The church and parsonage have al
ready been shipped to their new home.
The ustive school is about to be moved
aud the natives are taking down their
houses aud putting them on freight cars
on which they will be banled 10 the new
site, at the expense of The commission.
The ouly difficulty is thst the natives
who had lived in the present location be-
fore 1t became the Gstun dam site, don
relish carrying of their houses to new
place. II they don't, the commission
will do it for them, The new site is the
only one where the sewer and water works
have been installed before the Town.
Everything is now ready. When the
houses are set down the town will be
full fedged, with welLpsved streets and
sll public utilities.

DEATH ACCIDENTAL
Acting.Coroner WampIer Will
Return Verdict in the
Jefferis Case.
WAS A PROMINENT MAN.

Dr. j. NJ. Wampler, acting coroner
in the case of Mansfield Jefferis, will
return a verdict of accidental death.
An examination of the circumstances
of the affair was made yesterday af-
ternoon. When Mrs. Jefferis found
her husbands body it was erect and
in the exact position the man had
maintained when the dirt embank-
ment caved in and caused the bridge
timbers to fall on him. The shovel,
which he had used while at work. re-
manned clasped in his hand. The body
was slightly bruised by the weight OF
the timbers and dirt that pressed
against it.
Mr.. Jefferis was a we'll known far
mer of the eastern section of the coun-
ty. He has appeared prominently in
a number of ways and was recognized
as a man of influence in his township.
The funeral will be held Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock (sun time) at
the Methodist church at Chester. The
burial will be at Fountain City.

UNUSUAL RULING
BY COMMISSIONERS
% Accommodate Geo. Klein,
He Will Not Have to Ap-
pear for License.
'lOT COVERED BY STATUTE.
RST CASE OF THE KIND, AS
COURT HAS MADE IT MANDA-
TORY THAT ALL LIQUOR APPLI-
+ CANTS APPEAR IN PERSON..

In order to accommodate George
Klein, the Main street saloonist, the
coAnty board of commissioners agreed
this morning it will not be necessary
for Mr.. Klein to appear personally,
when he makes application for re-
newal of his liquor license, Monday,
April 6. An attorney for Mr.. Klein
informed the board that Mrs. Klein
is seriously i'll and it has been neces-
sary to take her to health resort for
treatment. Mr.. Klein is with her, and
if it were necessary for him to ap-
pear personally, he would have to re-
quire his wife to return to the city.
Such action would jeopardize her
health.
This is the first time the commits
sioners have agreed to set aside their
ruling in the matter. They have made
it mandatory that all liquor appli-
cantS appear in person. The ruling
is one of the commissioners court on
lv and not covered by statute. The
commissioners desire it to be under
stood that it was solely because of
conditions in Mr.. kleins case that
they set aside the rule.

Richmond celebrated St. Patrick S

who did not select to show respect to
the memory of !reland's patron saint
in some manner. Green ,neckties were
popular and the green CarnatiOn sup
ply was exhausted. There was but one
public meeting nor other attempt at
an organized celebration. 1t has been
many years since anything of the kind
was attempted in this city.
The only formal observance Of the
date was made by the Ancient Order
Of Hibernians and the ladies auxiliary.
