MUCH COLDER TOMORROW.
Rain a Probability For Tpnight; Colder
Weather Tomorrow.
The weather man says that we may
expect much colder weather tomorrow
with increasing cloudiness. It is pre
dicted that we may have a shower to
night and some colder weather. In
his remarks Mr. Bennett says:
"The low pressure area central
Tuesday morning over Oklahoma mov
ed rapidly northeastward to the lower
lake region, causing snow over the
Middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys
and the lake region, and rain over the
East Gulf States. An extensive area
of high pressure is moving slowly
eastward over the Dakotas, and has
caused a marked fall in temperature
over the Missouri, Middle and Upper
Mississippi Valleys. In this vicinity
cloudy, colder weather with probably
a little rain is indicated for tonight.
Thursday will be fair and much colder."

A ROW AT
1 NIGHT SCHOOL
Tom Lambert Made to Pay $10 and
the Costs Eor Disturbing the
Night Lchool at the Victor Mill.
Mr. Alfred W. Brown Appeared
Against the Young Man.
The most interesting, case heard in
the Recorder's Court this morning,
was the charge against Thomas Lhm
bert, a young white man, of disturbing
the night school at the Victor Mill,
which is conducted by Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred W. Brown. '
Mr. Brown, who was a witness
against Lambert, testified that the
young man appeared on the scene last
night and acted in an ugly manner.
When he was ordered out of the room,
he refused to go. Mr. Brown then used
sufficient force in order to eject him.
After ' Lambert was outside, he com
menced to curse Mr. Brown and threat
ened to cut his head off.
Lambert had a number of witnesses
summoned but not a single one con
tradicted what Mr. Brown related. The
court adjujdged the defendant guilty
and sentenced him to 30 days in jail
or pay a fine of $10 hud the costs. The
latter sentence was accepted and "the
young man was given his liberty.
John Connor, a well known negro,
an employee of the Southern railway,
was before the court charged with an
assault on Ed. Kirkpatrick. Connor
arrived at his home about 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and found Kirk
patrick in his house, sitting in a chair.
He did not wait for any explanation,
but lit on Kirkpatrick and made him
hard to catch. Connor's wife pleaded
with her husband not to create a scene,
telling him that his jealousy had no
foundation; that Kirkpatrick merely
dropped in and was a meaning of no
harm and a hopin' of no hard feelings.
Connor declined to accept his wife's
version of the affair and caused: a
scene that completely set the neigh
bor's tongues wagging.
In court this morning, Kirkpatrick
was as humble as the youngest lamb.
He said he meant no harm and simply
stopped by to pass the time of day.
The Recorder suggested to him that
he had better rins the fire alarm the
next time he contemplated a visit to
the Connor home.
Before leaving court, Connor de
clared that he wras done with his wife.
When he made this assertion, great,
big tears rolled down the woman's
face. She declared that an awful mis
take had been made and that her hus
band had allowed his jealousy to de
throne his reason. All her pleadings
were in vain for Connor declared that
he was done for keeps.
Henry Connor, a negro boy with
only one leg, was before the court,
charged with loitering about the South
ern's passenger station. He was sen
tenced to 30 days in jail.

Carolina line, for the purpose of selling
blockade liquor. For a week or more
whiskey wagons have unloaded hun

State officers, Constables J. N. Math

her rescue, . armed' with" pistols and
guns, and she fled over the line into

over after her. She was also armed
with pistols and refused to come back
