.The tiial of J. W. Ilutchins, the
butcher, whose scales he failed, to turn ia, j
was on to day. Parker and Guthrie ap-!
peared for Sima, the weigh master, but j
Ilutcliings had no lawyer.
Justice Cunter heard the case and it
appeared to him that Llntchins was guilty.
"We do know that such a law is idiotic
and out of place. All merchants and all
men in business depend upon honest
weights and do not care about any bees
wax seal.
The following letter from a veiy large
merchant in Durham is a sample case of
what is coming :
Durham, N. (., Aug. 13, 1891.
To thi: Editor I note your article in
Tiik Gloije to-day on weights and meas
ures. Will you kindly enquire of the
authorities through your paper, why the
standard keeper of weights and measures
uses beeswax instead of lead or some
metal in bringing up short weights?
Why, after sealing; two weights of four
pounds each, should vary one ounce at
least, (both supposed to be tested and
brought up to standard weight of North
Carolina).
Why scales he is supposed to seal do
not balance ?
Does not the law require that "North
Carolina standard" shall be stamped upon
his work, as a preventive of fraud and if
so, how long will said stamp stand upon
beeswax ?
The writer knows of two parties in
the city who have had their scales "sealed"
with wax. Does the standard keeper
want to protect buyers from dishonesty
on the part of sellers, on is he after the
shcckels, and trying to make the law a
farce? Finally, can he force a man to
Rave his scales stuck up with wax.
Yours truly,
Merchant, i
The real truth is, the law is without
reason, and there is no doubt concerning
llutchin's case when he gets it before a
court. The justice perhaps read the lawr
as he administered it. The Globe knows
nothing about his motive. It cares noth
ing about it, but if there is another legis
lature in session, such nonsenscial laws
will come off the books.
Ilutchins was fined $."() and cost, and

Where Bast-hall Was Played Yesterday
and Who Won the Games
In the Heat.
With to morrow's mails thousands of
letters will go out from Durham contain
ing the following official announcement
of the action of the board of trustees of
Trinity college, through its executive
committee :
Supplement to Bulletin No. lO.
Tiunity College Park,
Durham, Aug. 13, 1891.
To the Patrons of Trinity College and to
ine i udiic vtenerany :
1 lie contractors engaged on the new
buildings of Trinity college at Durham,
N. C, inform the building committee that
the necessary buildings cannot be gotten
ready for use by the time announced for
the opening of the fall term, October 1.
in view of the unexpected delay in the
completion of the main building of Trin
ity college, caused by the sinking of thfe
tower, the executive committee of the
board of trustees herewith publicly an
nounce that the operations of the college
will be resumed in the buildings formerly
occupied by-the college at Trinity, in
Randolph county, N. C, until the com
pletion of the new buildings at Durham.
The fall term of the institution will
open at 10 a. m. on Thursday, Septem
ber 3.
Students should present themselves on
Tuesday and Wednesday beforehand to
select lodgings, matriculate, and take any
examinations that may be necessary to
determine their work for the ensuing
term.
Trinity. High school, which now occu
pies'the college buildings in Trinity, will
continue its operations in a large build
ing adjacent to the college, which was
recently purchased by the board of trus
tees, so that both Trinity college and the
High school can be fully accommodated.
The faculty as announced in bulletin
No 10, including twenty members, twelve
of whom are regular professors andeurht
instructors of extraordinary abilities, wi'A
enter upon their work of instruction at
the former location, during the coming
term.
The law school will, however, not be
formally opened, until the opening of
thework at Durham, though regular in
struction in studies preparatory to ad
mission to the bar ' will be given, with
out extra charge.
The rates of instruction at the old loca
tion will be practically the same as they
have been heretofore.
The trustees and faculty hereby ac
knowledge the many expressions of sym
pathy that have been given and cordially
extend the thanks in return, begging
leave to make special mention of the res
olutions of sympathy passed at the late
session of the North Carolina yearly
meeting of Friends at High Point, on ac
couut of the damage done to the Main
building of Trinity college at Durham by
the sinking of the tower, on the night of
August 8.
The damage done has no doubt been
greatly exaggerated in the public mind ;
yet great as it may be, every trace of it
will be removed, if we may continue to
commit upon the devotion of faithful
workingmen who are aiding us in re
pairing the unexpected loss. On the
other hand the blessings of adversity will
in the end have made the institution
stronger than ever in its holy mission to
humanity.

What the Ledger Said About Those Who

The excursionists from Lynchburg 'and
Durham, who arrived here last evening,
were the dustiest, set of people that ever
came into Norfolk. They were literally
covered with dust. The party was made
up of an excellent class of people, in all
about three hundred. Some went to Bal
timore others to Washington while many
of them remained here to take in the two
cities and the neighboring watering
places. They return home by the 21st
to which date their tickets are good on
any trains over the Atlantic and Danville
and Lynchburg and Durham Railroads.

bottom in the chorus, but this did not
deter her, and on Sunday she left with
the company for Washington. Dr. Cronyn

His office was closed to-day and the doc
