Every Sunday the colored students

Sunday afternoon as a gentleman and
two ladies were returning from church
they met St. Augustine's scholais
at the corner of Blount and Lane
streets. The pupils were crossing
Blount street as they came to the
crossing. The two bodies, girls and
young men, were probably 20 feet
apart. The gentleman and the ladies
waited until the girls passed and then
attempted to pass between the two
crowds. The men, seeing their pur
pose, impudently crowded them so
that they were compelled to wait un
til about 60 had passed by.
A Great Game.
Saturday the greatest football game
of the year was played between Har
vard and Yale. Yale won but her
victory was due largely to proverbial
"Yale luck." The score, 12 to 4,
gives no idea of the game, as Harvard
forced the playing all through. Yale's
first touch down was made on a "fluke,"
after only 15 se. onds of play. Har
vard was especially unlucky, missing
two trys at the goal by the narrowest
kind of a margin. Once the ball struck
the bar between the posts and once
while the ball was in the
air,' but just before going over
the bar from a try at goal, the whistle
blew, stopping the game. If the goals
had been kicked Harvard would have
won, 14 to 12, The game was very
rough, several players on both teams
being badly injured, i
ABSOLUTEABSURDITY
Is the Presumption of the Mar
ket Referees to Decide Legal
Questions?
Many people have wondered since
the market squabble arose why it it
that the two experts, who have been
chosen to decide the dispute, should
attempt to act as. arbitrators of ques
tions of law.
The way in which the whole matter
has been carried on is certainly
strange in the extreme and the fact of
the two experts aspiring to pose as
legal arbitrators is a piece of business
that has rarely, if e-.er, been'
equalled. The question, which they
are trying to decide and which Mr.
Holding and Mr. Argo haebeen arl
iruinir about, is whether the citl
waived the right to reject the work bjl
the appointment of Mr. Bauer as su
pervising architect. Mr. Bivins claims
that he did the work, from, day to
day, nnder the personal supervision
and direction of Mr. Bauer and that
he, therefore, is not responsible for
the failure of the work to conform to
the contract plans and specifications.
The city denies his claim and it is this
question that has caused Mr. Hicks
and Mr. Ellington to waste so mnch
valuable time sitting in the mayor's
office as legal arbitrators.
But have these geutlementhe right,
nnder the proposition made by Mr.
Bivins and accepted by the board of
aldermen, to pose as such. Here is
the clause of the proposition pertain
ing to the experts: "The board of
aldermen are to select, an expert and
J. A. Bivins to select an expert, to
whom shall be submitted the question,
as to what additional work shall be
done upon upon the floor of the
market house, if any, to make it con
form to the contract plans and speci
fications, under which said work was
done."
Mr. Hicks and Mr. Ellington have
decided that the work did sot con
form to the contract plans. Did not
their work stop there? What busi
ness or right have they to decide any
thing else nnder the proposition un
der which they were arpointed ? They
were chosen as experts, not judges.
Why did they not render a decision
according to the accepted proposition?
What do they, experts, know of deli
cate questions of law ? If they de
cide, which is doubtful, an appeal
may be taken and'probably will be,
since it is held by some that an ap
peal lies from a decision of arlitr
tors on a question of law.
If the matter was one for legal ar
bitrators why were not lawyers, in
stead of experts, selected? But the
proposition says nothing of questions
of law. It simply says decide whether
or not the floor conforms to the con
tract. The experts have transcended
their power. They have done their
duty. Let them make a report and
give way to the courts, if the case
must termidate in a lawsuit. The
people are tired of the continued un
certainty and delay. O, do some
thing. A MURDERER CAPTURED.
Calvin Mctfair Suspected of Be
ing the Man Who Killed Mr.
Branch at Rowland.
On November 10 a Mr. Branch, a
quiet, respected and law abiding citi
zen of the little town of Rowland,
was brutally shot and killed iu cold
blood. He was lured from his house
and shot as he came down the steps.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
of death at the hands of unknown
persons.
The case was a very queer one, there
being no motive evident and absolutely
no clew. Suspicion fell on several
persons as accomplices and they were
arrested. The man who was most
strongly suspected of having done the
deed, however, skipped His name is
Calvin McNair. Application had been
made to the governor for a reward for
his capture but the reward had not
been offered. While the governor
had the application under considera
tion the murderer was captured at
Burlington and jailed. The governor
was informed of the fact today.
The killing, it is said, was one of
thej most cold-blooded murders ever
committed in the state. The evidence
is all entirely circumstantial but points
strongly to McNair's guilt.
To Pay the Church Debt.
Next Friday evening several teach
ers in the Good Shepherd Sunday
school will give a musicale and serve
refreshments at the , residence of Mr.
W. E. Foster. The entertainment will
be given at 8 p. m. and is given for
the purpose of raising money to help
pay the church debt. In the After
noon at. 4 o'clock an entertainment
will be give& especially for the chil
dren. Charming decorations, deli
cious delicacies and last, but by no
means least, beautiful women will
make the evening delightful to those
who attend.

The Jocular Passenger.
It was the last omnibus for the eve
ning tiiat went to a certain part of the
suburbs of one of our chief midland
towns. The weather had turned out
indiscribably miserable, and it rained
in increasing torrents. The omnibus
was packed to its fullest extent within.
Suddenly the omnibus stopped, and
the next moment the conductor inqui
red if any gentleman would mind go
ing outside to make room for a lady.
"Oh," said one of the gentlemen,
jocularly, " she is quite welcome to
get inside and to take a seat on my
knee if she cares to do it."
The words were scarcely out of his
mouth before a big, buxom damsel
bounced in and appropriated the prof
fered knee.
When the laugh which greeted this
unexpected move had well subsided,
the gentleman entered into conversa
tion with his substantial burden, and
asked her where she was going.
"Why, bless me," he exclaimed, as
soon as she had mentioned her desti
nation, "that's my house."
"Yes, sir," blushingly replied the
