AFFIDAVIT WAS QUASHED IT FAILED JO STATE THAT THE SALE OF BOOZE WAS MADE BY THE DEFENDANT IN CAPACITY OF DRUGGIST. John A. Conkey, who operates a drug store at Ninth and Main streets was arraigned in city court this afternoon and charged with selling intoxicating liauor on Sunday. Upon motion of the counsel for Conkey, the affidavit was ouashed. Conkey was charged under the section of the statutes relating . to the sale of intoxicants by a druggist without a prescription from a physician. But the affidavit did not state the sale was made as a druggist, hence the necessity for new affidavits being drawn. Three offenses are charged against the druggist. . Roach Confessed. It is alleged Conkey sold two pints of malt whiskey to Harry Roach at different times and at another time sold a half pint. The sales are alleged to have taken place last Sunday. The police trailed Roach and he was arrested after , disposing of a part of the .Hcuor to Charles Elzey. Roach was arrested at Knoll's livery barn Sunday evening.

Roach was fined $10 and coats in city court yesterday and to day appeared as a witness against Conkey.. He has promised to be avail able as a witness when Conkey's case is brought up for trial. It was not many months ago that A. Monniger, a former partner of Conkey, waa arrested and fined for the same offense, A letter received by the su perintendent of police this afternoon arrived at a time that made it seem a coincidence.

AGAIN THE BIRTHS

EXCEEDED DEATHS Forty-seven Children Were Born and There Were Twenty-three Deaths. MORE GIRLS THAN BOYS ENCOURAGING FEATURE OF THE JUNE HEALTH REPORT WAS STATEMENT SHOWING SCARCITY OF CONTAGION. A big gain for the births over the deaths was made during the month of June, according to the monthly report of Dr. Charles E. Bond, city health officer, completed yesterday. There were 47 children born during the month, all of whom were white. The report shows that there was twenty white and three colored deaths The girls had it on the boys as there were twenty-five girls and twenty-two boys born. The section of the report dealing with contagion. shows that it was at a minimum, in comparison with past months. Consumption and Bright's disease were the dependables for the Grim Reaper, each disease having three deaths to its credit. Pneumonia, diar rheal disorders in children and heart disease come next with two each. Oth ers of the more general causes of death, with one victim to their credit, are violence and apoplexy. - In respect to the ages of the moth ers, giving birth during the .past month, the report shows that eight were between 15 and 20 years old. twenty-nine between the ages of 20 and 30, and ten between 30 and 40 years of age, The details of the contagion report are as follows: three .cases of measles, two cases of scarlet fever, four cases of smajlpox, and one case of cblckenpox. .. .; A YOUNG ITALIAN WASJBIG FOR AGE Was Finally Held Over to Juvenile Court.

MARINE RESIGNED

FROM THE OFFICE COOHTUSSESSOB Immediately Upon This Action, Board of Commissioners Appointed J. C. Fulghum as His Successor. MAINTAINED SECRECY THROUGHOUT THE DEAL Public Was Not Allowed to Become Acquainted With Resignation Before Office Was Again Filled. Without any previous declaration, so far as the general public knew, Moorman W. Marine resigned as county assessor this morning. The county commissioners received the resignation and Immediately scrambl ed head over heels to appoint J. C. Fulghum as Marine's successor. Fulghum is a member of the countr council and has not resigned from this of fice. Marine's resignation becomes ef fective tomorrow. Ill health was assigned as the reason. There is every indication that there was an understanding between Ma rine and Fulghum. The latter waited about In the court house corridors un til Marine came down, about 10 o'clock this morning. Marine and Fulghum held a brief consultation and right afterward Marine turned in his resignation. In it he recommended that Fulghum be appointed Elective Office. The office of county assessor Is elective. It pays a salary of $1,200 a year. Marine's term would not have expired until January 1. 1911. The of fice is one of the most important in the county. It provides direct for the revenues of the count-. Until a few months ago Marine was 1 helped with the duties of the office by his son. His son left the state to lo cate in the , south and since then the occupant or tne otiice nas said re peatedly he did not care for the office. Before being elected he was a farmer. Fulghum's home until recently was in New Garden township. A part of the time he has been residing with his son-in-law in this city. The fact that Marine contemplated his resignation was kept under cover. Reporters were in the commissioners' room only a few minutes before the resignation was tendered and they were told nothing about it. Fulghum appeared without recommendations of any kind except from Marine and im mediately was banded the office on platter, embellished with the salary. Not a Coincidence. It could not have been a coincidence nor accident that Fulghum waited for Marine to resign and then immediately applied and received the appointment Neither was it coincidence that only a very short time afterward Fulghum re turned to the court house with a bond for $5,000 prepared and signed by sure ties. Such things are not controlled by coincidences. As the office of county assessor is not appointive, but elective, it is con tended that when a resignation occurs the public deserves the right to know it, but in this case It did not until af ter an appointment had been ' made. The fact 'that Marine's intention to resign had not become known and Fulghum was the only person given a chance to apply for the office does not tend to dispel the veil of secrecy that seems to have shrouded the entire deal CITY LEAGUE GAMES The Y.
