It Is false economy to tamper witb a matter of such importance to almost everybody If it has to be done, why not have it attended to at once. This is a busi ness view of the matter. Mayor's Court. Tbere was a large crowd in attend ance at the Mayor's office this morn ing at 11 o'clock, drawn hither main ly from the announcement that the case of the difficulty between Rev. J. Presley Barrett and Mr. John T. Ball would be tried. Promptly at 11 o'clock Mr. Ball en tered court with bis counsel, Mr. T. R Pnrnell. Mr. Barrett was also pres ent. He was accompanied to court by Rev. J.L Foster and other friends. Mr. Barrett had no counsel. Just prior to the call of witnesses, Mr Pur- nell, of counsel for the defendant Ball, proposed to waive an examina tion and submit that his client be sent on to the Superior Court. The case against Mr Barrett on a charge of an affray, was then called, when Mr. Purnell raised the point that it was not within the province of His Honor the Mayor to try Mr. Barrett under the circumstances, but that the entire case should be sent On to the higher tribunal. The views of Mr. Purnell were submitted by Mr. Barrett to legal advice. Awaiting the arrival of Mr. S. F Mordecsi, Mr. Barrett's counsel, Mr. Purnell moved the further hearing until four o'clock this afternoon. This was ob jected to by Mr. Farrett. A warrant for an affray was made out against Mr. Barrett and submitted to Mr. Mordecai, who announced his readi ness so far as his defendant was con cerned. Mr. J. F. Pedford, examined: Saw no blows; knew but little about the case; heard Mr. Ball say that Mr. Bar rett should do as he had proD ised him before he left town. Policeman Bashford passed by Bar rett and Ball on Wilmington street; saw tbem talkipg; saw Ball strike Barrett witb stick; knocked him off sidewalk; heard no conversation. Mr. Devereux said there was no case against Mr. Barrett and asked for Barrett's discharge. Bashford recalled: Saw stick; wis about an inch at big end, tapering down Mr. Purnell thought it au affray in the strictest sense, and that Mr. Bar rett should be bound over. The in f rence was that Mr. Barrett had used ords that caused Mr Ball to strike him. There was certainly probable cause for which the grand jury should take action. Mr. Mordenai said that Mr Purnell had drawn inferences. It would be adding insult to injury to bind Mr. Barrett over to court. There is no evidence whatever that Mr Barrett had been guilty of an affray. The Mayor decided that instead of an affray it was an assault, and there fore he bound Mr. Ball over in the sum of ?00 and discharged Mr. Bar rett. This decision of Mayor Badger com pletely vindicates Mr. Bsrrett from even the most remote inference of be ing engaged in an affray. Funeral Service. The funeral of the late Robert Wat-1 son, son of Mr. Fred A. Watson, took i place yesterday afternoon from the First Baptist Church. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends and the floral offerings were beautiful. The services were con ducted by Rev. Dr. Carter. The fol lowing gentlemen acted as pall bear ers: Messrs. Geo. V. Strong, K. W Weathers, J-no. Crawford and L. C. Weathers. We Cannot Compare Prleea With Nwlndell. Hardware, &e. Personal mention.

The report of Commissioner Robinson was read and approved, and the usual ap propriations for the coming year were made. It is understood that Gov Holt, and Messrs. Keogh and Carr of the World's Fair Commission went before the board to request some ac tion looking to an appropriation for the Chicago World's Fair. The mat ter will receive proper consideration. An Explanation. It is due to Rev. J. Presley Barrett that it be publicly known through our columns he was in no wise in volved in an affray with Mr. J. T Ball in the unfortunate occurrence of yesterday morning. Mr. Barrett made no resistance whatever to the attack of Mr. Ball, and he was com pletely vindicated this morning from the charge of engaging in an affray by the judgment of Mayor Badger Of course amid the conflicting views incident to such an occasion the wrong conclusions may sometimes be arrived at. The decision of the mayor this morning was to the effect that the whole affair was in the nature of an assault with a deadly weapon, and, this decision, of course, completely vindicates Mr. Barrett. In this connect! n it may be proper to state that Mr Barrett has to no extent whatever, appeared as a prose outor in the case. This has been left to the proper authorities. The 'pugi listic encounter" alluded to in our is sue of yesterday, was only on one si''e. Mr. Barrett took no hand in it, and we make the announcement with pleasure. Met nudists as Man eh Builders. A gentleman came in our store yes- j terday, stating h wxuted to look at j some goods, saying he had just been j looking at the same goods in another store.
