Muncle, Ind., July 1.—'Squire Gray, of this city, has followed the-lead of Judge Gillette, of Hammond, and other accredited Jurists, In declaring the new garnishee law unconstitutional. The 'squire also criticises It as the vilest type of class legislation, and as unreasonable. He strengthens his position as to Its unconstitutlonallty by citing Section 37, R. S., IMl. which says: "The privilege of the debtor te enjoy the neceeeary comforts of life shall be recognized by wholesome laws, exempting \ a reasonable amount of property from seisure or sale fer the payment of any debt or llabllty hereafter contracted, and there shall be no Imprisonment for debt except in ca*e , -J *. ,1 M It Is estimated that since this law went Into effect there have been LWO garnishes cases alone m this city, In many of which great hardshlos have been worked, the debtors being compelled to throw up their situations and seek work elsewhere in order to live.

.Va„ has written to the police here to know how they would like to carry revolvers' that make no noise and do not shoot bullets. He says he tried his in* ventlon with great success on a Stout negro. The revolver u charged with ammonia and shoots as accurately at twenty-five or thirty feet as a gunpowder revolver. Its effect Is only temporary and harmless, however, a man can not 'be killed with It. Its advantage Is when at close quarters with a desperate man. A charge may be shot Into his face. The ammonia gas overcomes him, and his capture Is made easy. Parker #ay he knew rogues might make,use of his invention to advantage, but, he says, "we always have rogues and not always dol-

lars."
