MONTGOMERY. Ala, July 5.-Street
car conductors have no right under the
state statute to carry pistols. This ruling
was made by the city recorder when he
fined j. H. Lawrence SIS, after the con-
ductor fired at a negro two times while
the car was in the business section of
the city Saturday evening. Lawrence ap-
pealed.
An old state law, which was repealed
several years ago, gave operators of
street cars the right to carry pistols.
Conductors have authority to make ar
rests now, but they are not allowed to
carry firearms.

FATHER OF WATERS FROZEN.
Ice EntirsIy Across River For First
Time This Season.

Davenport, Jan. 1.-The formation of
an ice crust caused the first closing of
the Mississippi in this vicinity for the
winter season Of l91112. early yester-
day morning. While no very greatly
extended period of cold weather has
yet made its appearance, the low
stage of the water at the present time
with its resultant lack Of any very
great pressure. kept the water in a
dormant condition and hence made un-
necessary any protracted cold snap to
freeze it across. A slight movement
of ice cakes near the Iowa shore
could be observed yesterday morning.
but the river was for the most part
closed tightly.
The river was closed somewhat
earlier last season than this. the exact
date being Dec. Il. but it also opened
very early. the ice commencing to
move on Feb. 49, The longest closed
season on record at the local station
occurred in 1880 when the big stream
was closed from Nov. % to April
This is a record year both for dura-
ton Of the ice cruet and for its early
appearance. the nearest date for early
closing occurring Nov. 90, 1880.
