FOR THE JURY TO say

Whether Policeman Australian" Kelly
is Guilty of Clubbing.
Policeman John Kelly of Tybee was tried
yesterday in the superior court on a charge
of assault and battery, for clubbing J. B.
Sykes at Tybee July 4. The jury retired
shortly after o'clock, and at 8 o'clock was
notified by Judge Falligant to bring in a
sealed verdict II an agreement should be
reached during the night. Up TO midnight
the jury was still celebrating, and indica-
tions point to a mistrial.
The case attracted great attention and
the court room was crowded during the
trial. There were almost as many people
present as usually attend murder trials.
There was an array of witnesses on both
sides, most of those for the defense testify
ing to Kelly's good character. Kelly in his
statement to the jury did not deny the as
sault. but claimed he struck the blow in
self-defense. He also claimed that Sykes
cursed him.
O'Connor & O'Byrne, corporation attor-
neys for Tybee, represented Kelly, and T.
). Morgan, Jr., Esq, assisted Solicitor
General Fraser In the prosecution. Mr.
Fraser opened the argument by reading the
law covering Kelly's alleged offense and
made brief speech. He was followed by
Mr. O'Counor for the defense, and Mr. Nor
gan closed for the prosecution. His speech
was said by the court officials to have been
the finest effort of the young attorney.
Mayor Ulmer and nearly all of Tybee's
aldermen were present during the trial.

Of Hamilton county. florida, and William


Beginning tomorrow a sweeping reduc-
ton in freight rates on lines controlled by
the Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation takes effect. The points from which
the new rates apply are Chicago, st. Louis
Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis, Nashville
and other Ohio river points. They reach
every city of any importance touched by
the Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation lines-Atlanta, Athens, Augusta,
Brunswick, Csdartown, Columbus, Dalton,
Macon, Savannah and other Georgia points.
Glasses b, G, D and F-meats, flour in
sacks, grain and -four in barrels are the
classes upon which the reduction is made.
The reduction will average about 5 cents
per Thousand pounds on each class-probably
more. For instance, from Chicago to At
lanta. the old rate on grain was 80 cents per
thousand pounds. 1t is, under the new rate,
81 cents per thousand pounds. To Javan-
nah the rate is reduced from 38 to 80 cents,
and similarly TO Brunswick. All through
the list the reduction is perceptibly greater
to port cities, and it is understood that this
is done in order to put the southeast coast
lines in better position to compete with the
northeast for this western business. The
largest reduction is In -four In barrels. One
Of the objects of the reduction is TO equalize
the rates OF the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association with rates in vogue
in other traffic associations.

WHEN JERUSALEM FELL.
Celebration of the Fast of Ab-Persecu
ton of the JeWs.

hASA4 ~ NAAC SC"I.
| The fast Of Alb, the most solemn in the
! Hebrew calendar next to the day Of atone
ment, which began Wednesday, ended last
night at dusk. The Hebraic law demands
total abstinence from food and drink by the
orthodox for twenty four hours.
The fast commentaries principally the
destruction If Jerusalem and tho dispersion
of the Jews, with the result of breaking up
the Jewish nationality. This final over
throw occurred in the year 20 of the COM
mon era through the good generalship Of
Titus. But he only succeeded IN accom-
plisniug bis purpose after more than a
YEARS siege. And, finally. It took three
weeks after the walls had been taken OF
thrilling struggle between the we'll
disciplined and equipped Roman legions
and the hRlt-famished, unmarshaled tyros,
fighting with great desperation for them
selves and the national existence, to end the
struggle.
The temple was destroyed on the ninth
day of Alb. So was the first temple on the
self same day bV Nebuchadnezzar 494 years
before. On this black-le letter day SOC, 900
Jews were summarily expelled from Spain
by order Of Ferdinand and abella Of

after the Emperor Hadrian's cruel DEGREES

The lamentations OF jeremiah are
chanted, aud, like everything else, all in a
low, sad voice Many Of the prayers more
joyous in tone are omitted until the evening
service. There is much beautiful poetry in
the service, bodying forth real suffering in
inspired language. There are prayers for
the restoration of Jerusalem and the ma
tional existence and for the coming of the
Messiah. Only the most orthodox believe
literally in these, but, while doing SO, are
none the less periodically disposed, accord
ing to biblical and Talmudic injunction
the land that protects them. 1t is to all
golden dream at best, however. Some only
believe in Messiauic times and Jerusalem
for the Jews-not the Jews for Jerusalem.
