and no Place to Put Them

~ N"'S" vi ASptOiu rover III the jail
and no Place to Put Them.
There are two negroes in the city iail
sick with typhoid fever. Judge Robert
son of the Hastings Court has ordered
that the prisoners be removed from the
jail. City Sergeant Traynham was try
ing to secure rooms yesterday. but hav-
ing failed elsewhere, decided to move
them to room in the station house. He
was also trying to employ night and day
watchmen to look after them.
Chief of Police Morris says they can
not be placed there, at least before the
return of Mayor Evans.
The jail is constantly crowded with
prisoners, and it is very important that
tho sick prisoners, especially if they
have typhoid fever, should be removed
Immediately, but Mr.. Traynham says he
can not find place besides the station
house. There are prisoners there all the
time also. and these are good reasons for
objections to this plan.
The Council meets tonight, and Ser
geant Traynham will make his monthly
report of the condition of the Jail.

expect heavy passenger traffic between

dummy line is completed, and for the
convenience of the public it is desirable
that we should run our line as near the
center of population as possible. To

dummy line and electric system should
connect at the Union depot. We are
now enjoincd from this, but hold Il fran
elise for II street railway on the streets
of OF which the Norfolk and Western is
cndcayoring to keep us.
IF the court dissolves the injunction,
whether or not we conccdc to the re-
quest of the Norfolk and Western de-
ponds entirely upon what the city will
do to give us an outlet to the northeast

can not go out Second street in its pres
ent condition, but il the city will grade
it and make it practicable for our line we
arc willing to use it. otherwise we Shall
demand the privileges which have al
ready been granted us

THE TIPPERARY TRIALS.
The Prosecution and the De-
tense Call Names.

DUBLIN, Oct.G.- Special Magistrates
court at Tipperary reconvencd this
morning. All the accused. with the ex-
ccption of Omahony, who is i'll, were
present. but their counsel. Redmond and
Timothy llcely, were absent in conse-
quencc of an important engagement else
where. On behalf of Omahony. Dillon
produced certificates from two Clonmel
doctors that it was impossible for him
to attend the trial.
Mr.. Roman, prosecutor for Crown.
objected to the certificates as not beinr
valid excuse for O'Mahony's absence.
and insisted that the doctor be sum-
moned to testify as to their patients
condition. Mr.. Dillon said that the
doctors certificates would have to be
accepted, as the doctors themselves re-
fused to come to court. to substantiatc
statements that had already been made
i'll their notifications.
After recess Mr.. Roman stated that
the prosecution had tclcgraphcd to two
doctors in Clonmcl requesting them to
examine O'Nlahony. and had sent Il third
from Tlpperary. lie expected that the
doctors would appear in court later and
testify as to O'AIahony's condition. and

his remarks, Roman said that O Mahonv.
through his solicitor. had placed the
court at defiance
This remark excited the Indignation of
Dillon. who declared it untrue OBrien
declared that Romans remarks were
addressed to an audience in England.
and were designed to injurc the defend
ants. OBricn's remarks were greeted
with cries Of Hear by the defendants.
A scene of confusion ensued. Roman
repeated his remarks and Dillon. who
was very angry, loudly denied them.
The court finally granted Romans re-
quest and a further adjournment was
taken. The action of the defendants.
who are on bail, is likely to result in
their committal to Clonmel Jail for con-
