THE GEORGIA JIM-CROW CAR.
Argument in the Heard Case Before the
Interstate Commission.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The Inter
State Commerce Commission to-day
heard the case of VIM. H. Heard rS. the
Georgia Railroad Company. The petit
toner complains that in travelling over
defendants road from Augusta to At
lanta he was compelled to accept second
class accommodations in that he was
obliged TO OCCUPY compartment car,
although he had purchased ticket
allowing him first class accommodations.
Complainant in his petition prays that
whole cars be furnished for the use OF
coloycd people on defendants road, the
same as are furnished to the white peo.
pie, or that the smokers car be located
in some portion of the train other than
in the compartment car, which coIored
travellers are required to occupy.
Dispositions concerning the condition
of the accommodations on the road were
read by the attorneys on both sides. j..
W. Cromwell, counsel for the complain
ant, then began his argument. He did
not desire to argue the case at length,
he said. inasmuch as the facts in the
case were practically the same as those
in the previous complaint against this
defendant, and at which time the Com
mission issued an order requiring the
company to cease and deSiSt from sub
iectinS colored passengers to unreaSon-
able prejudice and disadvantage regard
inc accommodations Counsel, however,
desired to say that the sixteenth section
of the Interstate Act had not been un-
derstood or had been 'liSregarded by
the company This section provides
that whenever any common carrier sub
! iect to the provision of the Act shall
violate or refuse or neglect to obey or
perform any requirement of the Inter
State Commission, it shall be lawful for
the Commission, or for any company or
person interested in such order or re-
| quirement, to apply by petition to the
Circuit Court, alleging such violation
and diSobedicnce, and the court shall
have power to hear and determine the
matter, etc.
Before proceeding to answer the ar
sument, j. E. Cumming, counsel for the
railroad company, called as a witness
Wm. Martin, who testified to ample ac
commodations on the Georgia road fol
white and colored passengers, except be,
tween Augusta and local points on the
). line where the cars were frequently
crowded, but where white and colOreC
passengers Jared alike. Cumming ther
took up in detail the charges made b!
complainant, and denied that there wa:
any attempt at discrimination. The
use of compartment cars on which com
plainant was obliged to ride was & qucs
ton of economy with the company
Half a car is sufficient for the amount 0
travel. The books of the compan.
showed that the amount of space fur
nished for colored people was in excess
of that furnished for white people. /
was not race question, and there wa:
no indignity or slight to the colored peo
pie in furnishing them with half cars.
After further argument. the Commls
sion took the case under advisement.

a Very Wicked Story.

When Minister Thomas re-entered
Portland society with beautiful Swedish
wife there was general sensation, and
the story tellers as well as the gossips OF
a less imaginative turn, found an abun-
dance Of material for their employ
ment.
The story goes that at home break
fast one morning, before Mrs. Thomas
had acquired much English, an awk-
ward servant spilled some coffee on the
Minister'S coat.
"That's id pretty piece of work.
exclaimed the Minister.
''What did you say then, my dearT
Mrs. Thomas innocently asked, in
Swedish.
'I said this is very fine cup of cof-
fee," blandly replied her husband, in the
same language.
That very evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas attended a brilliant party. With
a laudable wish to compliment the re-
freshments and at the same time honor
the English language by expressing her
sentiments in it, the beautiful Swede ex-
claimed, sweetly, after sip of fragrant
Mocha. That's id pretty piece of
work."
Who do you suppose was so wicked
as to invent that story ?-LeudSton

Charleston is not composed of ordinary

connected with IL a few days before
the bell was cast the pattern maker ex-
pressed the sentiment that il would be a
pity to use ordinary metal, and Sug-
rested that each workman contribute 10
cents in silver to enrich the composition
and give a superior ring TO it. The en-
tire force at the works responded to a
man, the sum realized being $3.50, nearly

While there the rich dainties and

proper and due to such prominent
personages. Heavy investments were

cutting Array

The boss of the track laying gang
of the katy at Pleasant Green, was
slightly cut by razor in the hands of
the night agent at that place. 1t seems
that Clabby had q grudge against the
agent about some trivial matter, and
a few nights ago, the boss pulled the
agent out of bed, striking him several
times. The agent picked up a razor
and cut Clabby on the arm and back,
causing the crimson to flow profusely.
Clabby was taken to a hotel, and q
Boonville surgeon sent for. The
agent quit working for the railroad
company because he was afraid
Clabby would do him bodily harm.
A day or so afterward Clabby was
discharged, and left town. The night
agent was retained at his post by the
officials. -Boonville Topic.

The Revival

The meetings conducted by Mr..
Bushnell Of St. Joseph, at the Con-
gregational Church are developing in
power and interest. The Evangelist
is a man without clsp-trap, wise,
witty. and eloquent. His delineatlons
OF character. descriptions of scenes
and events, his representations of
human nature are very graphic and
life like, and some of his illustrations
are thrilling in effect. The one told
on Thursday night concerning the
man falling into Niagara rapids and
rescued by its brave pilot was of re-
MAI kable power and histrionic effect.
Every one in the audience was there
in spirit and looked upon the scene,
saw the unfortunate man clinging to
the rock on the edge of the fearful
preciplce and then the hero with pike
and the rope about him going at
fearful risk Of life to save his fellow
man.
Tine Congregational people and
pastor ever on the alert for wise men
and methods, have been peculiarly
fortunate in securing this rare preach
er to aid in their great work. There
is no straining bambust after display
or effect, but quiet yet powerful
earnestness, certain magnetism
that holds the audience spellbound.
1t will be strange if there are not
many conversions under the wise
leadership of Mr.. Boiler and his CO.
worker. The meetings are tocon-
tinue during every afternoon at 8
o'clock, and every night of the week.

A BIG MISTAKE
Astonishing Deficit i'm an Ad.
ministrat0r's Account.

Probate Judge Bailey, in a COZ.
versation with a BAzoo reporter yes
terday, said he had never had occasion
to deal with any defaulting guardians
or administrators, against whom
criminal proceedings had to be in.
stituted. II have found that by be.
ing vigilant and exacting the holders
if such trusts do not become
careless, and as rule they come to
time promptly. Many defalcations
grow out of pure carelessness. / had
one guardian who came in with fin.
al settlement of an estate that had
run for a number of years. His re.
port showed only $500 due his ward,
but before / approved it, decided to
have him run over the whole estate
from the beginning, and to my sur.
prise it brought him out in debt to bis
ward $4,000 instead of $500. Either in.
tentionally or unintentionally he had
made mistakes in the footings of his
reports and in charging up bis vouch-
ers which made the difference. The
singular thing about it was that the
mistakes were all in his favor and
never against him.
/ had an administrator once whose
fiual settlement sheet showed that he
owed bis estate only $500, but when. Il
made him 60 ali over it again the
fact was discovered that he owed the
estate $4,000. The estate was
that of his father. in law
and amounted to over 100000. He
was a lawyer and the heirs, his
brother and sister-in-law, lad 80 much
confidence in him that they would
have accepted their share of the $500.
The administrator kicked and cursed
me, saying, that it was none of my
business as long as the heirs were
satisfied. and lie would warn the PEG.
pie of Pettis county not to re-elect a
long nose meddler to the office of
PROBATE judge again. He
declared be would not pay
a single dime of the SIS. 600,
but l Immediately entered up judg-
ment against him, before he left town,
to return to his home near ST..
Louis, and sent transcripts TO the
counties in which his land was located,
and when he went to &c. it out of his
hands to make himself law proof, he
found the transcripts were ahead of
him, and he had to pay. The deficit
was made by numerous charges which
| would not allow. He charged 1886
for attending the funeral of bis. father
in law the testator and $500 for making
a trip to Springfield, ILL.,, to look
after the estate. The trip only occu-
pied a day.

The Labor Question.

Robert 1ngersoll in a recent speech
on the labor question let little light
into the subject Dy the following il.
lustration:
"Here is shoe shop. One man is
always busy during the day-always
industrious. In the evening he goes
courting some nice girl. There are
five other men in the shop that don't
do any such thing. They spend half
their evenings in dissipation. The
first young man by and by cuts out
these others and gets a boot and shoe
store of his own. Then he marries
the girl. Soon he is able to take his
wife out riding of an evening. The
five laborers, his former companions,
who see him indulging in this luxury,
retire to the neighboring saloon and
pass resolutions that there is an eter-
nal struggle between capital and
labor"

NOT HELD UP.
j. L. ROlley COnfesses That he
Was Not Robbed.
A Slick Dodge to Stand off Cred.
iturS.

The police are little out of humor
with Mir. j. l. Rolley, the man who
claimed that he had been held up and
robbed on Hancock avenue, between
Broadway and Ninth street abost
s O'Clock last Monday night. Officers
Shackels and Kshrs claim that the
old mans story Was false and calcu-
lated to ipjure the fair fame of the
city and reflect upon the efficiency of
the police. As he is . prominent
church member and enjoyed q
good reputation. his story was believed.
They. however, did not believe
the story and set about showing it up.
They, with the assistance of Mayor
Crawford, after considerable difficulty
obtained from him the names of the
persons who had paid him the money
claimed to have been stolen and on
calling on them learned that none of
them had paid him a single cent.
Friday afternoon they found Rolley
on the street and took him up TO the
mayors Office and confronted him
with the facts they had learned and
be broke down and confessed that he
had invented the story to enable him
to get an extension of time from some
of his creditors who were pushing
him. The officers all express great
sympathy for Mr.. Rolley, but are
pleased over the fact that they are
indicated.

Selecting q Route for Sedalis'a
Electric Street Railway.

Ex.Mayor Medsker and Judge
Speers, of Topeka. Kas., arrived
here Friday evening on business of
great Importance to Sedalia. They
are heavy stockholders in the Central
Electric Light and Power company,
and the object of their visit is to select
q route for an electric street railway
to be operated by their works on
East Broadway. They spent a part
of the day in company with Mayor
Crawford and other citizens, riding
about the city examining the streets.
As it will cost the company but .
triie to operate railway from their
present plant, they think there will
be travel on a judiciously located line
to pay d good dividend upon the cost
of the railway and appliances for rum
ming it. Ex-Mayor Medsker is the.
delegate from Kansas to the silver
conyention which convenes next week
and he will go from here direct to the.
meeting.
In company with A. P. Morey, Ed
Hurley and Manager Smith, of the
electric light works, the party drove.
south to Flat Greek during the after
noon to consider the feasibility of max
ing park out there and connecting
the same with the city by q branch
of the proposed railway.
