Spurned His Custom.

A saloon-keeper across the Hudson

and who was hardly making a living
at it withal, says the New York Sun
found customer who was inclined to
buy him out, but who wanted to
watch the run of custom little be-
fore closing the bargain. In this
emergency the saloonist went to an
old topper and explained matters and
left $40 with him.
take this money and bring in the
boys and pay for what you get," were
his orders, and the old topper assented.
Next day he brought in five old
soakers and treated them, but as he
did not show up for the two following
days, the saloon man hunted him out
to ask the reason, and TO repioach
him in the most vigorous manner.
"Kook a-berc, JIM" replied the old
drunkard, as the other stopped for
breath, "it's all your own fault"
"How?"
"Well, when | steer six of us into

The Squire Comprchended.


living not hundred miles from New
Glasgow, for a long time continued to
solicite the "powers that be" for an
appointment as a justice of her
Majesty's peace, basing his claims on
his inherent and acquired qualifca-
tions as well as his fealty to party.
AT length, just prior to an election,
his ambition was gratifed and stag
gered under the title of esquire
Brown" and he longed for an oppor-
tunity to display his legal acumen
before his friends. In due time the
occasion came and the worthy Squire
proceeded to make the most of it:
A man named Fraser appeared be-
fore him in decidedly battered condi-
tion and lodged complaint against
one Skelly, for assault and battery
with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
The eventful court day arrived and
the exultant and over-ccnfident repre-
sentative of her Majesty took his seat
on the bench. Several witnesses swore
that no assault had been committed,
whereupon Squire Brown, remember
ing the battered condition of the
plaintiff when he lodged the COM
plant, arose in his seat and called in
stentorian tones "Hecton Brown,
Hecton Brown, come into court and
answer to your name )" then, reaching
for the Bible, gravely proceeded to
swear himself, after which he asked
and answered the following questions !:
"What is your name?"
"Hecton Brown, alias Squire
Brown"
"Do you know anything about
this case?"
81 do, sir"
"Tell the the court what you know
about it, confning yourself to facts ?"
"There is no court" yelled the
defendants attorney "this is an out
trageous and unparalleled pro-"
"Sit down. said the Squire "don't
interrupt the direct examination or
I'll commit you for contempt"
"Do you think" continuing to
question himself, "that Fraser was
assaulted p
81 do. He was all cut about the
head when he appeared before me for
the writ"
"That will do; sit down." Then
he resumed his seat and proceeded to
review the evidence at great length,
up follows: Notwithstand-
ing that several witnesses have
voluntarily corrobrated the defend
ants testimony, yet on the other hand,
Brown testifies to an ocular demon
:tration of the fact. This matter is
plainly laid down in Blackstone's
on the law of England,
where it says: The Queen is present
in all her courts and further, the
Queen can do no wrong, ergo, the
Queen can think no wrong am
5he representative of the Queen.
The image of her mind lies in me.
5hink that Skelly committed an
assault hence the Queen thinks so,
100. Can l doubt the Queen and
pluck judgment from her august
Perish the thought. I shall
do justice though the heavens fall.
Therefore l find Skelly G1O and
costs."-Ex.

A Big Combination.

The American of Thursday con-
tains a full account of the consolida-
ton of some of the largest iron and
coal companies in the South under
one management, and speaks editori-
ally of the deal as follows:
For more than twelve months it
has occasionally been whispered that
arrangements were being made by
which some of the coal and iron prop
critics Tennessee and Alabama would
be brought together under one man.
agement. The contamination of this
great effort eliminated yesterday, re-
sulting in the consolidation of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Com
pany with the Pratt Iron Com
pany, the Alice Furnace Company
and the Linn Iron Company, of Biz
mingham, Ala, thus combining I'M
der one management probably the
largest and most valuable iron and
coal property in the world, the pro-
liabilities of which are almost meal
culable, and demonstration on paper
would read almost like fairy tale,
These combined companies own near
| ly three thousand acres of the best
coal and iron lands in Tennessee and
Alabama, the supply of both mex
haustible even for the worlds supply
for centuries to come. On this prop
erty, within radius of six miles
can be found iron ore, coal and lime
stone of superior quality and in mex
haustible supply-all accessible by
railroads. This is the only place
known where all requisite constitu
ents for iron making can be found ii
such close proximity. This company
has now in active operation ten fur
naces, making an average of ont
hundred tons each daily, fifteen hun
dred coke ovens at work supplying
all coke necessary for the company
use, besides furnishing large quaint
ties for other furnace property tina
are dependent entirely on this com
pany for supplies. BY the provision
of the combination large capital will
go into the treasury and the compan.
will at once contract for the buildin,
of five additional furnaces of tw,
hundred tohs daily capacity each
and one thousand additional COX
ovens in addition to its vast propert,
which today's action combines int
one grand corporation. The stock
holders in their wisdom havesucceed
ed in securing the best talent in ou
own State and Alabama to plan, exc
cute and work to success this vas
property. 1t is only necessary t
mention their names to bring to tn
property the confidence of all thei
fellow citizens. Enoch Ensley a
president; 7. T. Hillman, vice presi
dent; A. M. Shook as general mana
ger; Nathaniel Baxter, Jr., and Jane
Bowron in charge of the financia
affairs of the company-it is com
bination of talent worthy of such
combination of property. And tn
end is not yet-it's only the begin
ning-and those now engaged in thi
great work are but pioneers, an
those who follow and remain wit
: these great enterprises will be on
wealthy men in time to come.
