nften opinsuns rendered by tUe ru
prenie court yesterday about the only one
of special interent was that of Wads
worth vf. the town of Concord, which
decides an imfortant -uetlion as to the
necessity for a town to follow th rules
prescribed by the legislature in special
acta in the makingof contracts.
. ' In the case in question the legishi
ture of 1 SOU passed an act or charter
for the town of Concord., makine it
the duty of the town to provide lights
And on the same day and during the
same session act was passed prescribing
that if twenty citientd tile a petition to
that effect the board of commissioners
shall call an election, at which a vote
toxIiJjnJiWiVlJL he. hwk.J
oViall nl !.-.,
una.,, uen. cAceen o yers or tne com
missioners shall purchase and electric
light plant. After these acts were
passed the comiirssionerg entered in
to a contiact w.tli the Concord Light
Company to furnish lights for a term of
eighteen years and the question was
not submitted to a vote of the people.
The plaintiff, Wadaworth, then en
tered the suit to restrain the corn mis
sinners aud light company from exe
cuting the contract, and the suit came
up to the supreme court.
Justice Connor writes the opinion
U ...... - 1 '
me iouri noiuing that in view of the
passage of the special act the contract
not submitted to the people, i void: that
the terms authoriz-d for contracts for
lights or water, and the mode pre
scribed in either charter or other legis
lation, are restricted to that mode in
the making of contacts: that it is in the
province and power of the legislature,
under article S, section 1, to prescribe"
terms on which and the manner in
which towns may make' contracts.
Further, the court holds that lights are
not a necessary expense under article 7,
section 7, c.f the constitution.

Klk Surprised.
Charlotte, N. C. Dec. 7. Charlotte
Elks were treated to a genuine surprise
yesterday afternoon at their lodge of
sorrow. Several hundred Klks and
many oftheir friends gathered at the
academy of music, according to annual
custom, to pay tribute to the departed.
A sensation was sprung when Dr.
Martin D. Hardin, pastor of Second
Presbyterian church, the sjeaker of the
occasion, instead of eulogizing the
dead Elks, launched a rlow of critici-m
at the living.
In the course of his address Dr.
Hardin spoke plainly of what he con
sidered some of the dangers threaten
ing the Elks, suggesting that the order
was not doing what it should to exert
a good influence on the outside world.
Dr. Hardin prefaced his remarks by
stating that he was not very familiar
with the order of Elk9 and that he con-
healthy, ille was deep-chested and
weighed poundi. Some months
ago, O'Brjifn was transferred to Brooklyn
from the rketothce at High Point. He
was injured in a runaway accident
three yea,rj ago and several ribs were
fractured!.? Three penetrated tbe in
testines, -puncturing them and they
began to rouble b.m, abscesses having
formed, p' Brien suffered agony. The
abscesses lled rapidly with pus and

suffering s O'Brien was forced to

later to $he court, and a subj ona
was issued , returnable for him at 10
o'clock tomorrow mornmg. He will
be required to testify or declared in

night th he would nt testify, and it

To say that the Elks as well as their
friends were surprised expresses it
mildly. They had been abused
publicly in Charlotte by an evangelist,
but Dr. Hardin's criticism was some
