She is survived by her husband and one child, two yean of age. Shoe of HU Title. Deputy SheritT Wm. Ouion. colored, lias been relieved of his official powers. He received notice of his discharge Tuesday and immediately- suspended his operations as a guardian of the law. The action .was taken because of Guion's conduct in the trouble at the City Hall som? time ago, and his bringing a frivilous suit against the police officers. The Star h:is good authority for the statement that Mr. J. E. Albright has dix-ided not to accept the jxisition of uwistant postmaster under Mr. Wm II. Cliadlxnirn whose appointment is gen erally lxked for this week. The Star is not authorized to sieak for Mr. Albright as to his reasons for declining to "play second fiddle" in the grand aggregation that' will oon appear; but there is no harm in apply ing the touchstone of "probable cause," and the Star looks at it this way: Mr. Allbright is a very efficient postal clerk, and it will not be very long be fore his aiilary will le advanced to l,200, and a little later to ',330. He is protected bv the civil service law. and, in all human probability, can retain the place indefinitely. Now if t he had accepted the place of assistant jxstmaster, which is ifot under the civil service rules, he would have been subject to re moval by his chief at any time; and as he has not Ihmmi on the best of terms with the Russell Republicans, and is a high-spirited man bcsides7 ho could not see what might happen in the future, and concluded to remain in his present iosition. What effect this action may have on the "deal" recently made is prob lematical ; but it is certain not to add to the happiness of those concerned.

Gore, Jr., Esq., opened the argument for the defence. He demon strated to the jury that the defendant's act was not murder in the first degree or in the second degree'and he showed the absence of malice on the part of the defendant. It was- not a ease of manslaughter, for Anderson was at tacked and acted in self defence, else why was it that neither of the surviv ing assilantswas not present to testify? Counsel argued against depending on circumstantial evidence in arriving at a verdict and quoted a telling prece dent. He also charged a vindictive spirit on the part of witness Spooner, and assailed with spirit the testimony of Officer Hewlett. He closed with a quotation from Daniel Webster's fa mous speech in the "Knapp" case. D. B. Sutton, Esq., followed for the State. He contended that the prisoner was guilty of murder in the first de gree, Insisting that his own statement to the officers on the night of the mur der showed malice. Defendant fore stalled any conclusion the jury might reach as to his innocence by cursing over the 'phone in talking with offi cers at the City Hall. Mr. Sutton scouted the idea, ad vanced by defence, that there was a scuffle between Anderson and the sailors ami adduced evidence in sup lort of his view. Defendant made no outcry, as he stated, or witnesses Spooner and Price would have heard him. If Anderson had acted in self defence and was really in search of officers in order to surrender himself to them, he wouldn't have fled on see ing them. Counsel discredited An derson's story that he had been robbed, for he had nothing to be robbed of, two hours having elapsed between the time he left Mr. M. O'Brien's saloon and the . time the pistol shots were fired ample time for him to have spent the money. There couldn't have been three sailors, as defendant testified, or watchmen Spooner and Price would have known it. The whole evidence showed murder in the first degree. A splendid argument for the defence was then made by C. P. Lockey, Esq. His contentions were: That the State had failed to show that Giles Anderson fired the fatal shot; that a verdict of guilty could not be brought in even if the State had satisfied the jury that Anderson fired the fatal shot and the jury should believe that he fired it while he was down, being beaten by sailors, and while he believed that he was in danger of being killed or suf fering bodily harm. Neither could a verdict of guilty be brought in if the jury should believe that being set upon by three sailors whose evident purpose was robbery, the prisoner fired the fa tal shot as being necessary to prevent the sailors from robbing him. Mr. Lockey made a strong point as he ar gued further that the jury, if they be lieved that there were two shots, one by the defendant himself anda second fired as the pistol was being wrenched from his liands, and the second shot was the fatal one, could not finff a ver dict of guilty. Again if they were not satisfied which of the two was the fa tal shot, the prisoner should have the benefit of the doubt. In no view could the crime be greater than man slaughter, and to bring in this verdict it would be necessary to discredit en tirely the testimony of the defence. At pox. Monday he was too sick to go to his work. Prompt and decided action was taken both by the city and health authori ties. The house in which Johnson lives was quarantined, as were also three others. Persons who had been exposed, twenty in all, were vacci nated. Police officers were stationed in front and rear of the suspected houses to see that all the requirements of the law are observed. At 6 P. M. pursuant to the call of Mayor Wright the Board of Health met in the office of Dr. W. D. McMil lan, superintendent of health. All the members were present, Dr. S. P. Wright, chairman, W. H. Chadbourn, Drs. Geo. G. Thomas, F. H. Russell and W. D. McMillan. It was moved by Dr. Geo. G. Thomas that the secretary be in structed to communicate with the chairman of the Board of County Commissioners at once, calling his attention to an act in relation to the Board of Health, ratified March 1st, 1893, section 23, and ask that the County Commissioners provide funds sufficient to purchase vaccine to sup ply the wants of New Hanover coun ty. The Board discussed the situation thoroughly, and addressed a com munication to the Board of Alder men, laying the matter before them in complete detail. The communica tion is printed in the proceedings of the Board of Aldermen. Board of Aldermen Meet. The Board of Aldermen met at 8 P. M. Present, Mayor Wright, Alder men Gore, Twining, Norwood, Walker, Hewlett, Morrill and Benson. Clerk F. B. Rice and City Attorney D. B. Sutton. Mayor Wright stated the situation, explaining that a case of small pox had been discovered on Hanover street. The clerk read the folio wing N The Board of Health respectfully re port to the Board of Aldermen that there is a case of developed small-pox in the person of Stephen Johnson liv ing at 205 Hanover street. This case was reported to his Honor the Mayor at 9.30 this morning by Dr. W. J. H. .Bellamy. 1 he superintendent of Health was ordered by His Honor, the chair man of the Board of Health, to quar antine and isolate ail persons in the house of the sick man, and also to quarantine all parties who have been exposed. The Board of Health respect fully recommend 'that provision be made at once for a pest house and that the Board of Health be authorized to furnish such and provide for the atten dants of such sick people as may be sent there. In view of the fact that there is small- pox in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina at points with which this citv is in communica tion by the railroad lines entering the city, it is respectfully suggested to your honorable Board that an ordi nance be passed providing for the vac cination of all persons not able to pro vide for themselves, and to insure vac cination of all persons not able to pro vide for themselves, aud to insure the vaccination of all unprotected persons in the city. To promptly effect this much desired end, it is respectfully suggested that the Board of Health be empowered to employ such extra phy sicians to do this work as may be ne cessary. Alderman Gore inquired if in draw ing the ordinance some limit as to ex pense ought not to be set, and he in quired what expense would have to be borne by the city. The Mayor stated that the city would have to furnish a pest house, nurses, fuel and lights, mattresses and bedsteads, and food and nourishment As vaccination is likely to be a "leading issue" just now, the follow ing from the New York Times is of interest : "Vaccine lymph that has been ster ilized by mixture with glycerine is rapidly coming into use all over Europe, and with it the last argu ments of the anti-vaccinationists are disappearing. The rare accidents that have hitherto given them an excuse for calling the Jennerian operation dangerous no longer take place, and even the 'sore arm,' which some peo ple have found so objectionable, has been reduced to a hardly appreciable annoyance." Besides these advan tages of the mixture, it is added, it has been discovered that the dilution of the lymph with glycerine does not weaken its powers nearly so much as might have been expected. In Lon don, where the vaccine matter from one calf was formerly made to serve for 200 or 300 persons, it is now ap plied successfully to from 4,000 to 6,000, and in Germany the number has been raised to 15,000. The elimi nation of the familiar and ugly "sore" is enough to commend the dis covery, however. It will be im mensely popular. Our ear s work lias been liari); lut tin. i-fsiili are very twatlfyliiK.
