exc yesterday afternoon in the eff
fort to stay the Jail sentence inn
posed on Prosecutor Pugh, Charles
S. Voorhees,, counsle for Pugh, OBJ
jected to proceeding with the hear
ing until the journal entry on the
Jail commitment was made out. He
said he wanted to see the charac-
ter of the order he was to contest,
and with this in view asked the
court to have the journal entry
placed of record so that its exact
status could be determined. This
request, entered of course to Sc
cure additional time for prepare
ton, was acceded to by Judge Hun
exc, and the matter went over I'M
til $3.50 this morning.
Judge Huneke at this hearing
again took occasion to inform
Prosecutor Pugh that If the short
hand notes We're surrendered they
would not be destroyed, and would
be ploced under lock and key by
the clerk of the court.
The plan of having the notes
placed under lock and key, with
the trials of Gordon and Schiveley
coming on at once, did not appeal
very strongly to Prosecutor Pugh.
He wanted the notes where he
could have them for use in trials.
IL they were locked up he did not
believe he could get them again.
He arose in court to correct
statement made by Judge Huneke,
but the latter wavde the prosecutor
to his seat with the remark:
You can speak through your
counsel, Mr.. Voorhees,, Mr.. Pugh.

you" The hearing then went over
until this morning.

IT, Herald is in receipt of let
ter from a Noble James, pastor of
the Methodist Church in this city,
who is on his way to the Conference.
He stopped at Sinton Sunday to at

Last night | received a young
man into membership of the church
after nearly all had gone home. | had
the certificate of Mrs J. II. Kidd and
Mrs. Mary Nevis in the Office which l
entered on the register of the church
| found that we have one hun
dred and three members, which is an
encouraging growth.
The prospect for the church is
most gratifying TO all the members,
which | hope will draw all the gen
eral public to it.
Or AIcAlurray was a little sur
prised that We had not planned for
a collection as he wanted to raise
one or two thousand dollars.
ne thought just to preach was
too little to go that far, but he did
more than preach for he placed us in
a safe position so nicely that we think
God is still with us. and moved him

Capt Sill said that conditions at
the Brazos Station were in the main
satisfactory. Some work will have
to be done on the building to repair
the damage caused by the two storms
of last summer which weakened the
foundations and gave the structure
a decided list to southwark. There
are a couple of vacancies in the
crew, due to the failure of the men
to return after the summer lay off.
These will be filled from the Civil
Service eligible list. Capt. Sill and
Capt. Hutchings left for the north
this morning, the former returning
to his office at Savannah, Ga, while
Captain Hutchings will stop off at
