RAIL AND CROSSTIE.

A case docketed years ago will come to
trial in Atlanta next week The case is that
OF Gand and Reaves ct al. versus the North
eastern railroad. The plaintiffs represent a
large number OF stockholders Of the North
| eastern railroad and bring the suit to have
large amount OF the bonds of that rail-
road invalidated. The point at issue is the
validity Of SS15, 900 of bonds of the North
eastern railroad and SIS, 900 of floating
debt The Richmond and Danville leased
! tue Northeastern and now operates IL.
since the combination of the two roads,
these bonds were made by the Northeastern
ana the floating debt also created, The
plaintiffs claim that if it were not
Tor these illegal bonds and floating
debt the earnings of the road are
such as to increase the value of the
stock and make it pay dividends There
iore they bring the suit and ask that the
bonds and debt created and made since the
combination OF the two roads be declared
invalid. The defendants claim on the other
hand that the bonds and debt are perfectly
fair and legal. These are the leading cues
lions to be tried. The parties defendant to
the proceedings are the Northeastern rail-
road, the Richmond and Danville railroad,
| the West Point Terminal Company, aud
the Central Trust Company of New York.
The East | ennessee may not withdraw
| from the Southern Passenger assuciati on
after all. In fact, il looks as il the officials
or that road did not know their own minds
In tho premises. Official notice from Vice
President Fink has been served on the asso-
citation, extending the time of withdrawal
thirty days. A circular has been sent out
from Commissioner Slaughter, announcing
the fact that the East Tennessee had asked
that its withdrawal from the Southern
Passenger Association be postponed for
thirty days. The circular created some.
thing of sensation In railroad circles. 1t
was freely discussed. but no body seemed
to understand what it meant. The East
Tennessee's original notice of withdrawal
from the Southern Passenger Association,
which was served on April 90 last, was
from the first the subject of considerable
speculation. Severalru mors were afloat that
II was simply bluff on the part of the
East Tennessee to gain an entrance to the
union depot, and other rumors OF similar
caliber were freely circulated among rail-
road gossips But all charges of bluffing
we're promptly denied by the East Tennes-
see people, who said they meant business;
that withdrawal from the association had
been contemplated for some time, and that
the notice was given after duo considera-
ton. Another theory was that the notice
OF withdrawal had been served because of a
difficulty or misunderstanding of some sort
IN getting certain rates which the East
Tennessee wanted to put on.

The Dimes Piled I'm.

A nimble witted young man who writes
for the newspapers on current topics, at so
much per column, made up his mind few
weeks ago that the possession of type
writing instrument would greatly increase
his earning capacity. He talked with his
wife about the matter, and she agreed with
him that the purchase of a typewriter
would be good investment But how to
make the purchase was the question. The
"nimble witted" had very little ready cash,
and he was not in a position to command
credit to any considerable extent.
Upon inquiry he found that typewriters
were sold on the instaliment plan, ten dol
Jars down and ten or twenty dollars a
month, as might be agreed upon. He
bought an instrument for 500, and agreed
to pay twenty dollars per month. Then
his wife and himself made private agree
ment that each and every ten cent piece
them should go into box and be applied
TO the payment for the typewriter. Under
no circumstances WAS either of them to
spend ten cent coin.
This plan worked very we'll for the box,
but it nearly bankrupted the nimble witted
young man in the first month. Nearly
every coin that he received for change was
ten cent piece. He was unable to spend
more than thirty or forty cents out of a
dollar because of the accumulation of ten
cent coins.
One evening he went to Coney Island
with his wife. They had modest little
dinner there, and upon returning home
they found that they had taken in just
$500 in ten cent pieces on that trip. At
the end of the first month the box was
found to contain fifty three dollars in ten
cent pieces.-New York Times.

Different Ways of Stopping Bleeding Cut.
A wine merchant said: "My ceharmen
have funny way of stopping bleeding.
They think nothing of a cut finger or hand.
or even of large wound. They run to the
nearest spirit cask, or claret, if spirits are
not handy, and let a few drops fall on the
wound. 1t acts as an immediate styptic
Then a big dusty old cobweb is taken from
the nearest bottle or corner of bin and
clapped on tight over the cut or abrasion.
Cobwebs are splendid healing agents.
Sailors" said another man, "are never
at loss under such circumstances; their
favorite styptic at sea is a bit of unraveled
tarred rope. On land they will take the
guild of tobacco from their mouth, or the
lining of their cap, and its effect is aston
ishing. But | have seen Il man wild drunk
after such quid has been tied over q
wound. l suppose the nicotine gets into
the blood and acts as an intoxcant."
Carpenters" said another gentleman,
'if they cut themselves pick up handful
of fine shavings and clap them on the
wound, and joiners swear by dab of glue,
but one of the quaintest things I ever saw
used was by an old farmer up in Chester
county. He got his hand badly torn by
bit of old wire fence, and it bled consider
ably. Without a thought he stopped down
and dug up handful of soil, spat on it
and worked it quickly into paste, and
laid it on the wound and bound It up with
his handkerchief. In an astonishingly
short time he was at work again as if moth
ing had happened. New York Recorder.
