Perhaps there are some who do not
know that about ten days since, on the
morning of the 18th, we had frost here,
but such is the fact. IL was not heavy
enough TO do serious damage in the vii
iage but the cranberry crop OF ). u.
BUrnell, near the Hebron road, was prac-
tically ruined, the berries turning black
so they fall off. There was promise OF
one OF the best crops which the bog has
ever borne-and il has had some good
Ones-but now it is evident that it can
be only few bushels. The bog might
easily have been flowed if any danger
had been anticipated. A killing frost
the middle of July is something that the
oldest inhabitant doesn't know about
at least, the said o. b. has not recalled
such thing for the benefit of the Demo-
crat.
A regular schedule of games is now in
progress by the croquet association
The grounds are on Maple Street in the
rear of Billings Block. The members OF
the association are A. 4. Shurtlef, Will
liam A. Porter, George w. Robbins,
AlfredW. Hodgkins, Samuel +. Davis,
George II. Davis, E. s. Jones, and Frank
K. Durham. These eight are divided
by lot into four teams Of two eact.
Each of the teams will play five games
with each other team, the full schedule
of thirty games extending from the 22d
of July to the Sd Of September, one
game each afternoon with some excep-
tons. Score is to be reckoned on a
basis of 1000, the team having the high
est score at the close of the schedule to
be winners. The four teams are made

Supreme Court Denies Woman's
Claim to Four Feet Right of
Way on Broad.

Refusing to set aside the verdict
of the City Circuit Court, the Court of
Appeals, at Wythevlle. yesterday
finally settled the famous Bellenot case
by deciding that the south line Of
Broad Street. between Monroe and
Henry was in accordance with the
maps and measurements submitted by
City Attorney Pollard. The effect OF
the decisionis that Mrs. Bellenot's claim
to about four feet on the thoroushfare
is denied.
Suit was originally brought here by
Mr.. Pollard, who alleged that the
defendant had encroached upon and
was occupying strip of land in front
of her lot on Broad, between Monroe
and Henry, which was legally a part
of Broad Street. The suit was won In
the Circuit Court by the city, the SUI
preme Court affirming the Judgment
of the lower tribunal. The matter Is
Of unusual Importance, as 1t determines

square.

Quickly accepting the lesser of two

Policeman Wills had taken him and
was Joined by officers Wiley and Nc
Mullen, the mob gathered and begged
them to turn him loose that short work
might be made of him. The policemen
had to use their clubs and pistols to
thin out the crowd.
Struck Mother by Accident.
Hill. in the Second Station last night
said that he had been away from home
for seventeen years because his mother
had treated.h4 cruelty as boy: that
he returaed.~to the city about two
months ago and had been working as
= driver for the Crystal Ice Company.
Having the evening of. he decided
TO go to his mothers house and take
his sister out for car ride. On his
arrival there the sister informed him
that she had an engagement and could
not go. Whereupon, he told her that
on account of his having been away so
long, she ought to break the engage
ment.
1t was at this juncture that the
mother got into the game. with o
broom he said, and began to beat him
across the head with great vigor. He
snatched the broom. and in striking at

fray, accidentally struck the old wo-
man, cutting shallow cash OF about

took to his heels.
Immediately word went the length
