THE CENTRAL LOSES A SUIT.
Patton Vickery Given $2,5oo 70
Ininrias from Escanincr Staarn

Patton Vickery Given S2,5OO for
Injuries from Escaping Steam.
The city court was occupied ali of yester>
day in hearing the $4,000 damage suit Of
Patton Vickery against the Central railroad.
The jury rendered verdict last night for
the plaintiff for 80 800.
Vickery was employed by the Central as
q dagTuan, and while sitting near the track
at the Bay street crossing on Nov. 90, 1890,
an engine and train of cars passed. Just as
the locomotive came abreast of him the
cylnder-cock was opened. The steam
rushed out with such force as to throw W
the cinders. Vickery's right ear was filled
with them and with steam. His face was
paralyzed, and for four weeks he was con-
fined to his bed, unconscious nearly all the
time. His mind and hearing have been per-
manently affected and he claims to still
suffer great pain.
O'Connor & O'Byrne represented Vick-
cry. Lawton g. Cunningham conducted
the railroads side of the case, and set up a
plea of contributory negligence on the part
OF the tiagman, on account of sitting 30 near
the track. This was offset by the evidence
for the plaintiff, who proved that it was a
custom for the hagmen to sit down when
not engaged, and he was in his accustomed
place.
Mr.. O'Byrne conducted the examination
of the witnesses. The road put up its
master machinist. who testified 1t was
almost an impossibility for an engine to
throw up cinders by allowing steam to
escape. but Engineer Dooner, an employee
OF the Central, admitted that the force of
the escaping steam was quite apt to cause
such an accident as happened to Vickery.
Mr.. Lawton spoke for the raiload
Vickery presented a pitiable sight in
court. his face is very much emaciated,
his right arm is paralyzed and.he is a phys.

Atisnta-The Commission to Meet in
Savannah June 22-The Proposals TO
be Opened on That Date-The Size of
Lot Called For-Rsynolds squar Q
Again Talked OF.
A Washington dispatch to the MORNING
NEWS announces that the Secretary Of the
Treasury has appointed A. c. Haskell of
Columbia, s. c., A. E. Buck of Atlanta.
Ga, and W. ]. Edbrook, supervising
architect, q commission to meet at Savan-
nah June % for the purpose of considering
the proposals for the sale OF property as a
site for the new public building.
The proposals will be opened on that date.
The secretary had more applications for
places on this commission than for any
other office in this district, yet the COM
pensstion is not to exceed $500 and actual
travelling expenses Edbrook and Buck will
get no compensation, they being federal
officers.
Under the act of congress the commission
is 70 report to the secretary within forty
days from the date of advertisement for
proposals, definitely stating the site selected
by them, and their selection will be final
Plans for the $500 600 building will be be-
gun by the supervising architect as soon as
the site is approved.
BIG SITE WANTED.
The advertisement for proposals. stating
preference for corner lot 1856 by 1876 feet
and in event Of the property not being a
corner lot, requiring Dimensions approx
mating 222 by 1856 feet, bars out good
many lots that have been talked
OF. The area of preferred
corner lot is approximately $1,000
square feet, and a lot not corner lot 30, 600
square feet. The Guards Battalion lot.
which has been talked Of as a probable site,
is about Is, 600 square feet.
About the only unimproved property In
the business portion of the city available
for site under the requirements Of the
REYNOLDS SQUARE TALKED OF.
An effort was made when the present site
was selected to get Reynolds square. at
Abercorn and ST. Julian streets. It is un-
derstood that movement is now on foot to
secure the consent Of the property holders
on the square to its sale by
new building. The advantage urged for
Reynolds square is its location in the imme-
diate neighborhood Of the banks and the
leading business interests of the city.
A site OF the size called for In the adver-
tisement for proposals could hardly be
bought for anything like the amount paid
for the present site, and probably not for
double that amount.
The present site, with the improvements,
will be sold and the proceeds will be turned
into the treasury department..

provides that in case any mari or phos-
phatic deposits are discovered on these lands
