 fo Close

Berlin, Jan. 3-The notorious Harden von Moltke libel suit came to an end this evening, when the accused editor of Die Zukunft was sentenced to four months imprisonment and to pay the entire costs of both the present and the former trials
 When the court reassembled at a quarter before o'clock this evening, the President of the Court at once de- livered his judgment. The President said that in spite of the prisoners as- sertions that the insinuations contain ed in the articles referred merely to the scientific and artistic leanings of Count von Moltke and Prince Philip Zu Gutenberg, and that they had nothing whatever to do with immoral or un- natural practices. 1t was evident that if this was the meaning it had been intended to convey. the articles were senseless and purposeless. There was no doubt. the President of the court declared, that Harden had meant to imply that Count Kuno von Moltke was possessed of unnatural inclinations. while his reference to the intercourse between Count von Moltke and Prince

SOLATES A FAMILY
TO CHECK SMALLPOX SPREAD IN
 MOBILE.
Members of Sheriff Cagala's Household VIII Be Sent to the Pest House Over Ills Pro-
 1eaN.

Mobile, Jan. 3.-(Special. )--The ap- pearance of smallpox among members of the family of Sheriff Frank Cazalas and the proper steps to be taken in suppressing the spread of the disease. was the subject discussed at a special meeting of the Committee of Public Health this afternoon and which was presided over by Chairman Mohr.
 Disposition of the matter was made in a motion of pr. Owen that rather than establish a precedent by permit ting the removal of the affected persons to an isolated spot in the county that they be removed to Pine Grove Hos- pital, or what is commonly known as the pest house.
 Sheriff Cazalas said that he was will ling to do anything rather than have his wife taken to the pest house. He stated that he could secure an old building in the county removed a mile from any other house. and which had once been used as an old distillery, and to which he would remove members of his family, thoroughly isolate them and give his word that there should be no communication
 This proposition was discussed. but the committee thought to permit such an arrangement would be establishing a precedent which would be brought to the attention of the Board of Health on every occasion that similar action was to be had.
 Dr. Goode said that the Sheriff's bus mess required his presence in the city, and that his coming into the limits should be denied until the order of the committee was compIled with.

FLEA STILL INTERESTED
 IN THE DISPLNSARY ROW

EIba, Jan. 3.-(Special.)-The pro- | hibition situation is still intense. The Elba dispensary has not yet reopened and is not likely to do so. Town Clerk Joe Young says there Is no now on hand a S2,000 stock of disposition will be made of it.
 Representatives of Cincinnati liquor establishments were here yesterday claiming accounts against the dispen- sary amounting to about $3,500. They were informed that they had no re- course whatever as they sold the goods In violation of the law which provides that all liquors for the dispensary must be bought and sold for cash"
 The ability of the dispensary man agement to pay is quite doubtful as 1t is claimed that there are no funds on hand.
 Mayor Ham still holds that the dis pensary will be reopened as soon as sufficient money can be had to secure the license, notwithstanding the fact that the probate judge says, as the matter now stands, he would refuse to issue license.
 Prohibitionists declare that they will swear out warrants for any one who dispeuses liquor here under the pres ent circumstances. and officers declare their purpose of rigidly enforcing the shipping act.
 Business men express the opinion that prohibition will be a business ad- vantage to the town, because some months ago the Farmers Union, which is very strong in the county, passed resolutions to the effect that it's mem Ibership would trade at a prohibition town rather than at one selling whis- key, other things being equal.

 Inhumnn Treatment.

a
 : Pensacola Fla. Jan. 3.--tSpecial.)-- Somewhat of sensation has been sprung by an investigation of the county convict camp and report made to the County Commissioners by Ed- ward Fitzgerald. State supervisor of convicts. who recently visited the two camps of this county. and in addition to sending a letter to Superintendent Baggett and to the County commis- sioners. forwarded one to the Gov ernor.
 Tn this report he cites instances of what he terms brutal treatment Of convicts. and demands the immediate discharge of two of the guards. Not only does he report inhuman treatment of prisoners. but that they are shack eled. when such is not permitted oy the State. and also that the food IS in- sufficient in quantity and that on sun day the prisoners are not gwen even as much as during the week days. He demands that this must stop, and stop immediatelv.
 One instance of treatment of prison- CTS at the camps. the case of woman. he reports as follows: Tn this con nection desire to call to your atten- ton an instance of gross brutality if true. and am of the opinion that 1t is--of a woman who. in a pregnant state, begged for a piece of meat. IL was refused and she began to cry, whereupon she was told to hush or sne would get the strap.s
 The County Commissioners. upon re- ceiving the report. decided upon an immediate investigation. but the super intendent of the camps not being in the city deferred the investigation until next Tuesday night. Tn the meantime, the superintendent and Guards Ham, mack and ONe.ll are to be notified to be present at this meeting.

 New York.
 New York. Jan. S.--A real run has deveioned on Cup;d's new bank In New York.
 The law recurring licenses to marry went into effect January l. and since that time the city clerks office in the city hall has been crowded with pro- apective brides and grooms. Under the new law. the bride as well as the groom, must sign the application and make affidavit to the truth of the an- ayers to the various questions. This reuuires that both of them must visit the clerks office.
 No extra helu has been provided in tho clerks office and so unexpectedly great has been the crowd that many applicants have been forced to stand in line for three or four hours before inc coveted document was obtained. No one has vet followed the example o9 many frightened dcpositors during the recent financial furry. who camped m the front steps all night rather than give up their places .n the line.

IA CARGO OF CARS
BIG STEAMSHIP BERTHA SAILS
 FROM MOBILE.
Carries Much Railroad Material for Work on the Isthmus of Pan- ama--Cross-Ties and
 Pflfugs

Mobile. Jan. s.--(SpeciaL)--The big Norwegian fruit steamer Bertha cleared from this port with a large cargo of railroad fiat cars, creosoted ties and pil- ings for Colon, Panama, to be used In construction work on the isthmus.
 The Bertha arrived here about two weeks ago with 6 cargo of bananas which she discharged and immediately proceeded to berth at the Louisville and Nashville wharf which she has oc- cupied ever since, loading the enor- nous cargo. The cargo was completed yesterday but sailing was deferred owing to an accident through the breaking of yard arm used as a steam hoist.
 One of the yard arms of the steamer was used as a conveyer in hoisting the flat cars aboard and Tuesday last gave way while one of the cars was about amidships the vessel ready to be low cred The mast fell on the after house work of the steamer, badly smashing 1t and necessitating a slight delay in the departure of the steamer.
 The cargo is one of the biggest ta- ken out of this port and the big ves- sel is loaded to the water line.
