Turned III* Attention lt Holdiing
the Money Drawer* at I’ny sin
lions.
Atlanta, Ga„ Feb. 28,-Henry M Klha
ney, an 18-year-old boy. who wa- <in,u
well known about the city through he
former connection with the telephone ex
change a? collector, died a suicide in a
cell at the police barrack? to-night about
8 o’clock.
The young man, whose family live in
Anniston and is highly respectable, f‘ I
into the hands of the police Saturday
night, having been caught in the act of
robbing the cash drawer in the Kimball
House telephone pay station, lie had
been carrying on a systematic robbery
among the various pay stations of the
city, and was caught by an alarm beil
Bet in the Kimball House by the tele
phone company.
Some months ago the young man lost
his position with the telephone company
on account of a defalcation amounting to
about $l5O. He was not prosecuted for
this crime, but the leniency shown him,
instead of proving a lesson in reformation,
hastened his oomph te ruin, the final act
being the pay station robberies. The
company had no suspicion who it was
that was rifling the money drawers,
though when McElhanej was trapp'd no
surprise was felt, as he knew all atiout
the pay station from having I sen collec
tor of the company.
The police claim to be in the dark to
account for the possession of the <i. idly
drug by ’McElhaney. He was carefully
searched when locked up, and, so fat is
yet disclosed, no one knows who smug
gled the morphine phial to him in his
cell.
This morning about 8 o'clock he was
discovered in an unconscious condition by
another man in the cell, and doctors were
called. After several hours he was re
stored to consciousness, but from his rav
ings it seemed that he had been made a
maniac by the drug. A# the afternoon he
shrieked and raved until he broke com
pletely down and death came to release
him.
His body was taken from the police sta
tion to an undertaker's to-night, and his
family, notified. After his discharge by
the telephone compuny for stealing, this
first step being the result of association
with a set of fast young men. McEihany
went by the name of Thomas for a w hile,
and his family had seen nothing of him
since that disgrace.

LIQUOR LAWS OF THE STATE.
Special Acts Invalid Where General
Set Isn't Repealed.
Atlanta. <!a., Feb. 28.—Ari important de
cision affecting the liquor laws of the
slate was handed down by the Supreme
Court to-day. H may mean the nullifica
tion of all (lie local or special liquor laws
pa .•sod by the legislature since the local
option hi'i of 1880. After the passage of
tins art in 1895, a special law was passed
for De Solo, in Sumter county.
G. W, Baglcy sold liquor after the act
of 1895 was signed by the Governor and
was tried and convicted for that offense
by the SujKtior Court of Sumter county.
He resisted the law on the ground that
it was unconstitutional, being a local or
special law enacted after the general law
on the same subject was passed. The
court below overruled this point, but the
Supreme Court sustains it.
In the decision handed down to-day the
court says that as the general liquor lawt
had not been repealed, the special law
passed lor the town of He Soto was un
constitutional. On this ground the judg
ment of the court below Is reversed.
This raises a question on a mass of
special legislation on the liquor question,
and as this decision is applicable to all
the laws passed since the general local
option act passed, a great deal of dry ter
ritory will become wet.

Considerable business was disposed of.

Alley Will Have Candidate* In the
Field for Even Office.
Columbia. S. C., Feb. 28.—Capt. L. D.
Childs of this city, state chairman and
leader of the prohibitionists in South Car
olina, says that his party is going into the
campaign this summer and will have can
didates out for every office from coroner to
Governor. Mr. Childs will be the Guberna
torial candidate. He has for years been a
member of the House from Richland coun
ty, and besides having Interests in Colum
bia. is one of the largest farmers in the
county, being perhaps the largest grower
of hay in the state.
The mixed up condition of the dispen
sary gives the prohibitionists much en
couragement. It is reported from Wash
ington that Republicans are preparing to
have a candidate in every district of the
state. They look upon the Lake City mur
der as very fortunate for them, and ex
pect the Republican House to pull through
the Republican candidates in the close dis
tricts. But as a matter of fact, so few
negroes are registered that no reasonable
showing can be made.

There is practically no limit to the bad
feelings which result from an attack of

MACON MENTION.
Fell Dead While Packing n Trunk-
Negro Tells n Queer Story.
Macon, Ga., Feb. 28. Miss Ella Martin,
aged 73, while packing a tntnk this morn
ing preparatory to departure for Missis
sippi, fell dead. She had sulTered n stroke
of paralysis several months ago, but had
apparently recovered. She was here on a
visit to relatives. The remains will be
sent to Natchez for Interment.
This morning Henry Taylor, a negro
who burglarized a paw n shop and held up
Ed Burke a few months ago, was sen
tenced to twenty years in the penitentiary.
Some time last night Taylor awoke in his
cell, and discovered that he was totally
blind. In the court loom to-day he was
led by bailiff. Physicians failed to dis
cover any defect in his eyes, and subject
ed the negro to a critical examination, but
without showing that he was not really
blind. It is thought that he feigned blind
ness in order to have his sentence made
light.
Judge Felton asked him why he kept
his eyes closed so that he could not sec,
Taylor replied that he had a vision in his
cell in Jail, and that the spirit of God ap
peared to him. The spirif of God, he said,
was bom in on him and he had seen in
the vision an angel standing beside him.
The angel had communicated with him,
and his eyes were closed by the spirit, and
he had been unable to open them since.
The story was told in a most confident
way, and caused some surprise and no lit
tle amusement in court.
J. D. Thomas, who has been in charge
of the Macon branch of the Western Un
ion offices for the last three years, has re
signed and will return to Augusta. A. H.
Kemp, who has been manager of the
Brunswick branch, has been promoted and
