a very good price for the iron railing of

titles to suit purchasers. He thinks it
might be utilized for gardens, cemetery

tlnuation Of the Columbus and Griffin.
1t is rumored that work on the East Ala
oama railway will begin at an early date.
There is only gap about forty miles be-
tween Admission and Roanoke This will be
an important road to Admission on account
OF the unlimited resources on the route.
This road will eventually have Columbus
for its southern terminus.
The second vestibuled train will pass Sa-
OF travel for Florida and the South has now
fairly set in. The principal reason for the
rush Is the fact that the attractions of
Florida are now at their height. and the
cold weather at the North has caused the
shivering tourist to turn his feet toward the
Sunny South.

says that Maj. Cumming, the contractor,
has ITO hands at work on the Albany end of
the Columbus Southern road. Mai. Cum
ming is under contract to complete the

A TWISTED-uP CASE.
1t Grows Out of Buying Furniture on

1t Grows Out of Buying Furniture on
the Installment Plan.
Last summer Ohlander Bros, installment
furniture dealers, sold to n negro named
Mitchell jackson a set of furniture for S27.
He paid S22 70 and then he fell behind in his
payments. Yesterday an attache of Ohlan-
der Bros. went to Jackson's house, and find
ing no one at home, broke through the
doors. The bedding was removed from the
bedstead and it with the other pieces of the
furniture were taken possession Of by the
Ohlanders. When jackson found out what
had happened he called on the furniture men
and rendered them the balance of his account
81 -. Messrs. Ohlauder were willing to ac-
cept the money and release the furniture,
but demanded SOC extra TO pay drayage.
Jackson refused this demand and sought
lawyer. The result was that he sued out
possessory warrant in Justice Molina's
Office. A member of the firm called on
Judge Molina and told him to turn the fur
niture over TO the negro, and went so far
as to pay the cost of the proceedings
1t seems that after this Mr.. Ohlander
went 10 Justice Fuliarti's Office and began
a suit in troyer for the recovery of the
goods. BY advice Of his lawyer jackson
was to go TO Jail and then sue tor damages
for false Imprisonment. Up to a late hour
last night he had not been jailed.

Sunday Base Ball Given a Black Eve
by the Tennessee Supreme Court.
The decision of the Tennessee Supreme
Court on the Sunday base ball cases has
been awaited with much interest by people
interested in the Southern League The
court has at last rendered its decision
which was against the base ball men. 1t has
been generally understood that this decision
would determine the matter of club at
Nashville, and the Nashville american has
the following to say:
THE decision Of the Supreme Court that
the act of the last Legislature making it a
heavy misdemeanor to play base ball on
Sunday, virtually settles the question as to
the entrance of Nashville into the Southern
League. An american reporter last night
saw several gentlemen who have been looked
to as the organizers Of the club, should il
ever be formed, and they all said that they
would no put their money into team now.
As is generally understood, Sunday games
are the most generally attended, and upon
receipts from them the clubs managemants
rely for their profits Nashville NAV be
considered as out of the Southern League of
1851
President Wilson has been assured bv
several prominent citizens of Nashville that
they would put a club in the field no matter
how the Supreme Court decided the Sunday
case

SNEAK THIEF IN JAIL.
Ed. Berry, Alias Capt Black, &" Arrested
For House Robbery.

For House Robbery.
Ed. Berry, alias Capt Black, notori-
Gus negro crook who was released from the
chain-gang last week, where he served a
sentence for burglary, was arrested again
yesterday afternoon by Detective Wether-
hor for sneak thieving.
Berry had not been off the chain-gang
many hours before he thought he saw his
way clear to restocking his wardrobe
Watching his opportunity he quietly
slid into the hall of an Abercorn street resi-
dence, and minute later he came out
with an overcoat and walking stick
There were two or three other coats in the
hall but Berry only wanted one. He
selected a neat silver-headed stick, which
seemed to take his eye, and that was what
gave him away.
The things were missed and Detective
Wetherhorn was employed to hunt up
the thief Yesterday afternoon he caught
glimpse of Berry walking up
South Broad street as though he owned the
whole street, and swinging a neat silver
headed cane. The officer recognized the
cane and asked Berry where he
got it. The young sport did
not make a satisfactory explanation
and he was run in. Before he got far he
admitted the theft and told where he had
the coat and the officer went with him and
got it, Berry was taken before Justice
Russell and is now in jail. His chances are
pretty good for another term in the chain
gang. Berry is supposed to have robbed
half a dozen halls during the past few
days as that number of offenses had been re-
ported

They Want to be Promoted.
From the NetC York. Graphic.

FROM TIE NeU Y fS tTfuOhlC.
The pressure brought to bear upon the heads
of departments in Washington for positions or
promotions is something quite remarkable. The
moment man or woman finds that employ
ment has left them they go to their representa-
tive in Congress and implore him to secure a
place in some bureau or other. There are at
the present moment 5000 people in Washington
who receive aid from the charity organizations,
or 1900 families. In the nearby city of Alexan-
dria, there is little doing, and many people are
out Of work. From all over the land men and
women come up to Washington, hoping to be
able to walk straight into a paying position.
And those who do get places are never con
tented. Secretary Lamar says the messenger
always wants promotion. and is never content
until he is made Secretary of the Interior. Com
missioner COlman, of the Agricultural Bureau,
says some women in his employ tell him there
is nothing standing between them and life of
shame except the work they get in his bureau.
If that is lost, they too, will be lost The other
day well dressed young man from Kentucky,
who sports silk hat and is always smoking a
cigar, wanted a promotion on the ground that
he mad proposed to his girl and she refused to
marry him unless he was promoted. Tell the
girl will marry her myself" was the reply the
young man got and that settled the business.

ON THE ANXIOUS BENCH.
The Status of the French Spoliation
Claimants.

The Status of the French Spoliation
Claimants.
W. E. Earle, attorney for a number of
claimants under the French spoliation claim
suits, has issued circular, in which he
states the present status of his clients, and
in fact of all the claimants.
The bill referring the claims to the Court
of Claims became law in January, 1885,
by which court the opinion was reached
that the United States was liable for all
well-proved claims. Subsequently aresolu-
ton was offered in the House of Repre-
sentatives by Mr.. Dibble, Of South Carolina
providing that such passed" claims be re-
ported to the Committee on Appropriations,
who should report the same in the general
deficiency bill.
On the other hand, the Attorney General
is in favor of letting the cases go first to the
Supreme Court for final adjudication, and
it is feared by the claimants that this course
will delay payment for at least four years
Mr.. Earle's circular strongly recommends
the claimants to ask their various represen-
tatives in Congress to oppose the course asug-
gested by Attorney-General Garland There
are number of the claimants in Savannah

What Peculiar" Means.

Applied to Hoods Sarsaparilla, the word
Peculiar is of great importance. 1t means
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is different from
other preparations i'll many vital points,
which make it thoroughly honest and
reliable medicine It is Peculiar, in a strict
ly medicinal sense: first, in the com nation
of remedial agents used; second, in the pro
portion in which they are prepared; third,
in the process by which the active curative
properties of the medicine are secured.
Study these points well They mean vol
