MAY BE READ TO-DAY Democratic Prison Board of Directors Sustained. SOUTHERN INDIANA NEWS The position taken by Gov.

Hackney will to-day or liver the opinion, which will be conto curred in by J.

H. Jordan, James McCabe, L. J. Monks and T. E.

Howard. The foregoing statement is based on the remarks of a prominent ex-State official, who read the opinion that is to be handed down. The gentleman is a Democrat, and, while rejoicing that the party is sustained, he took occasion to say that the action of the court was inconsistent with precedent. The appointing power, he said, was taken from Gov. Hovey by a Democratic Legislature, and the act was sustained by a Democratic Supreme Under of the Supreme Court Courting Messrs.

Lyons, Pickhardt and Darnell, appointed by the Governor as directors for the Prison South will hold their positions, and Messrs. J. R. Henry, John Nugent and W. C.

Carpenter, appointed by the State appointing board, composed Secretary of State Owens, Treasurer Scholz and Auditor Dailey, of. will lose out, as will also Mayor Hertz, of Brazil, who was slated for the wardenship. In the Floyd Circuit Court at New Albany yesterday, in the case of the State against I. S. Winstandley and Clarence J.

Luckett a check for $1,000 on deposit and failed to account to him for the proceeds. Mr.

Dowling, of the counsel for the defense, then moved to quash the indictment mentioned and also three counts of the indictments found against the defendants at the May term on the ground that the act of the Legislature of 1891, under which the indictments were returned, was unconstitutional. He supported this motion by a lengthy argument in which numerous authorities were cited. Mr. Marsh replied on the part of the State, and was followed by Charles D. Kelso for the defense, the arguments of counsel having occupied several hours.

Judge Herter took the question under advisement, and will return his finding Saturday morning. Capt. Martin Foster, an aged and greatly respected citizen of New Albany, died yesterday at his home on East Spring street, near Sixth, after an illness of several months. His death was hastened by an accident several days ago by which he sustained a fracture of his right hip. He was born Virginia 1 the first.

year of the century, but had lived in New Albany over sixty years. His. aged wife died some years ago, and one daughter is all that is left of the family. Before the civil war Capt.

By the first of next week the laws passed by the Indiana Legislature of 1895 will be in force. They were shipped by express to the different counties in the State yesterday. The express agent delivering the same is instructed take the receipt of the County Clerk, and as soon as these are filed with Governor he will issue his proclamation, declaring the laws in force. This will probably be done Monday.

The acts require 516 pages, including the index, which is more voluminous than usual. The most important of the laws which will thus be in force is the famous Nicholson Temperance Bill. Under its provisions all billiard tables, dice boxes, slot machines, cards, must be removed from the saloon. The front of the saloon must be arranged so that the interior is visible from the street on Sunday, legal holidays and after 11 o'clock at night.

"His estate has thus been gradually reduced until there is but little left. Plaintiff's attorneys having already been paid $1,000 by affiant, which allowance affiant believes was made by court In full for their services in this case, They were acquanted with the entire record, having aided in making up the same, and it required no great labor to present the same cause in the Court of Appeals.

The appeal was merely prosecuted by the. afflant in good faith in what he believed necessary to protect his own integrity. says his estate has been gradually diminished, as stated, and his home was broken up and the society of his children taken from him, he not being permitted to see them but about twice in the last two years. He has not been able to earn money as heretofore, being sorely distressed, and he submits to this honorable court that the little that is left of the earnings of his lifetime, the result of his own labor, should not be appropriated to the use of plaintiff's attorneys."
