FOUND DEAD IN CELL
MOBILE YOUNG MAN RAD pELIRIUM
 TREMENS. -.-
Father Of Mike Teene Asked The Police To Hold His Son Who Was Crnxed From
 


 Mobile, Jan. Especial. )--With his head caught between the top of the flush box of the sewerage connection in a cell at police headquarters. Mike Teenes, a young white man arrested few days ago for annoying residents in the western portion of the city, was found dead this morning.
 Teenes was taken to police head quarters when several complaints were the people in the western part of the city while drunk and frightening wo- men. His Father. John Teenes, well known in the city, was notified of his arrest and asked that he be allowed to stay in police headquarters and that he would have a physician treat him in the hope that he would regain his senses. he being temporarily insane while under the influence of liquor.
 The city prison oficials agreeing to Mir. Teenes request confined the young man in a cell on the second floor Of the police station. He had been con- fined there for several days and was under the treatment of pr. Goode but at times was violent from delirium tremens.
 When the night force was relieved by the day force this morning Turnkey Wallace Hartwell went to Teenes' cell to give him breakfast when he saw the body suspended from the ceiling with the head caught on top of the sewer box. A further investigation proved that the lad was dead.
 A board of inquiry was summoned consisting of pr. Goode, Coroner Hirsh- field and Ambulance Steward Jack Dair. The board rendered decision that the deceased came to his death through an accident.
 It is stated that Teenes evidently be- came violent sometime during last night and climbed on top of the sta tionary washstand from whence he could reach the top of the ceiling. It is thought that he put his head into the opening between the top of the flush box and he ceiling and then could not extricate 1t. struggling until death came although the night force state that they heard no sounds from the cell.
 The body was turned over to an undertaking establishment and was prepared for internent.

ro purre Penslon RolIa.

Major General W. l.. Wittich3 Com manding the United Confederate Veter- ans of Florida, following out the res olutions at the recent reunion of Vet erans in this city, is endeavoring to have the pension rolls of Florida purg- ed of all names excepting those who are worthy and needy.
 The last Legislature of this State enacted a most liberal pension law, in- tending that 1t apply only to the needy Veterans, but in many places parties considered rich or well fixed in life are enrolled as pensioners and draw ing from $100 to $150 per year.
 The commander, in a recent order, says: Commanders of camps are urged in conformity with resolutions passed by the division of Pensacola, to take steps at once in their respective neigh borhoods to purge the pension rolls of all unworthy applicants and to report to the authorities at Tallahassee all cases of unworthy men who are receiv- ing pensions.
 Tt is suggested that each camp ob- tain a roll of the pensioners in their county from the county authorities, i'm vestigate same and report as suggest ed, and that the record of every apGli- cant be searchingly investigated and not approved by camp adjutants unless said applicant is a good active member of the camp and his record clearly es- tablished."

LUM FAILS TO PUZZLE MISS
RANDOLPH
Answers All Questions in Trolley Dam
age Suit, in Which Jesse Francis
Gets Verdict for $3.50.

= A jury in the First District Court this
morning awarded Jesse Francis, of 81
Camden street, a teamster. $3.50 damages
In his suit against the North Jersey Street
Railway Company for injuries received in
an accident in, October of last year.
: Francis was a driver for Joseph Kroger,
of 47S Twelfth avenue. who is engaged
In the coal and moving business. On oc-
tober % of last year he was trying TO
cross the street at Roseville avenue and
Fifth street when a trolley car ran into
the rig. The horses leg was broken, the
wagon badly damaged and the driver was
injured about the back and legs.
There was a touch of humor in the case
when Miss Randolph. a witness for the
company, was called. Three weeks ago
MIR. Kroger received a verdict from the
company Of $500 for the loss Of his horse
and damage to his wagon as a result of the
accident in which Francis was the plain
tiff. When placed upon the stand Miss
Randolph, in answering the questions of
Earnest C. Lum, counsel for the plaintiff,
was very precise in her answers and very
positive.
why are you so positive today, Miss
?" asked the lawyer, after con-
siderable parrying with her.
Because l am prepared to answer any
question you may ask" she replied. "At
the last trial you puzzled me with your
queer questions. but you can't do 1t today"
And he did not, for her testimony stood
the test Of his cross-examination.

ACT TIES UP
COURT
Stevens and How
ell Refuse to Sign Any
Orders.

Some confusion and not a little mer-
rlment was occasioned today in Chan
Gerry chambers, resulting from the re-
ported resignation of Chancellor Magic
and his announced refusal to sign de.
crees after midnight last night.
While 1t is a point of law that without
a chancellor the vice-chancellors were
without power. yet many a lawyer ap-
peared in the Chancery chambers today
asking for an order. ID.
Some of these were iedglings in the
law, but not a few had grown gray in
the service When these approached
the vice-chancellors. asking for an order,
and were told that none could be signed,
they appeared surprised and asked why.
Vice-Chancellors Emery, Stevens and
Howell had to explain that under exist
ing conditions their names signed &c
any court order was worthless.
The three vice-chancellors agreed to
zeal arguments when both sides were
willing, but refused to allow the filing
of any papers, because when papers are
filed they are always addressed to the
Chancellor.
