ATLANTA. GA, March 25.-The prohibi-
t;opists had q second meeting tonight and
a sort Of compromise was agreed upon. A
committee Of four, appointed last evening,
rendered their report, aud it received the
unanimous endorsement of the conference.
In substance il was: THAT whereas an
honest difference of opinion exists between
the prolibitioaists OF Fulton county, and
whereas the local option law is not exactly
what the prOhibiuonlsts want, si-ce it fails
to provide for the sale Of liquor for medi-
cinal. scientific and mechanical purposes,
we therefore recommend that no election
be held for the present, provided those who
oppose the holding of an election will join
with those who favor it in sending to the
legislature their members from this county
ssedged to use their best efforts t. have the
local option law so amended as TO include
the dispensing feature"
This resolution" SAID prominent MEM
Der of the 1890 club, sis TO be submitted to

RIGHTS OF WAY FOR WIRES.
Rights of Abutting Land Owners
Cannot be Ignored.

Rights Of Auditing Land Owners
Cannot be Ignored.
RICHMOND, VA, March 27.-An impor-
tant question was decided in the supreme
court to-day affecting the right of way of
telegraph companies, in the case of the
Western Union Telegraph Company VS..
Williams, on an appeal from the circuit
court of New Kent county. The contro-
versy grew out of a claim of the telegraph
company that it had a right under an act of
the general assembly passed in 1880 to con-
siruct its line along the public roads of the
state without regard to the property rights
of abutting land owners.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VOID.
The court held that this act was uncon-
stltutional and void because it failed TO
provide compensation to such land owners
aud that Mr. Williams, whose property
rights we're invaded by the company, had
the right of action for trespassng to
recover damages The Judgment of the
lower court was affirmed. It was test
case and practically settles about twenty
five cases pending i'll New Kent county. 1t
will probably lead to the institution of
many more suits in other sections of the
state where telegraph and telephone COM
panies have erected lines along the public
roads under the act declared void By this
decision

of a Lack of Work.
WILKEsBARRE, PA, March 27-Four
hundred employees of the Sheldon Axle Com
pany will go on strike tomorrow. Some
time ago when work was slack the foreman
suspended three of the mea. Last week he
hired Others in their places. The rest of the
employees objected to this, and asked that
the old hands be reinstated, as they were
skilled workmen, and were suspended
solely because there was not enough
work TO keep them going. The
company refused, and the matter was
referred TO the district executive board of
the Knights of Labor. This body held two
consultations with the superintendent, but
failed 10 arrive at an agreement, and the
men were ordered to quit work at 10 o'clock
tomorrow. As 30 per cent. Of them belong
10 the Axle Workers Assembly of the
Knights Of Labor. 1t is expected that every
man in the sBop will quit work.

DAvIsBoRo, GA, March 27.-At Q O'clock
last night the store occupied by H. H. Kill
patrick as a family grocery was burned
with all its contents. The house was a
large two-story wooden building, and DR..
A. A. Chance used a portioa of the first
floor as drug store, and his family used
the second floor as dwelling. The origin
of the fire is unknown, the first alarm being
the explosion of a key of powder, which
brought the house to the ground. DR..
Chances family were just ready to
retire for The night, and their escape from
the building after the fall, with slight injury,
was miraculous. The only insurance was
carried by Mr.. Fitzpatrick on his stock.
His policy is in the Royal of Liverpool for
500, which, he states, will not cover his
loss. The house was owned by Mrs. Nancy
Walden, and was valued at $500.
