FAST, BUT A KICKER.

Short Story About a Horse That Yer
mont Man Once Owned.
speaking about hor ;es,'' said Col
Calliper, reminds me of a horse that
was once owned by friend of mine
who lives at Storkville Center, Vt: This
horse was just an ordinary hundred
dollar horse until he turned out to be a
trotter. He got so finally that he could
move in pretty near three minutes.
That made him worth about three hun
dred dollars, which meant good profit
for the owner; but, unfortunately, Just
when the horse had come to that point
he developed also as a kicker. He could
kick harder and faster than any horse
1 ever saw. He kicked out one end of
the barn and smashed his stall and
broke up everything within reach, until
they put him in an iron stall, which
they had built expressly for him
1.-The horse could trot as fast as ever,
but his kicking knocked off that two
hundred dollars of value. If the owner
could have realized on the horse when
he was at his best that two hundred dol
lars at six per cent, would have yielded
twelve dollars year My friend was
frugal man, and it seemed to him that
perhaps the kicking might be turned to
account. 1t took man some time
every day to cut up the fre-wood that
was used on his place, and he figured
out that the time so spent cost more
than twelve dollars year, and that it
would yield at least an equal return if
devoted to some other labor. He de-
cided to let the horse break up the
wood.
Every morning they put some cord
wood in the iron stall, and the horse
broke it up. For a time this plan
worked satisfactorily and proftably,
but one day when they dropped in a
cherry log the horse wouldn't kick He
seemed to have discovered that his
energy was being used to benefit his
owner, and he stopped kicking.
Possibly in time he might have
again permitted the utilization of his
singular gift, but they didn't wait to
see; they sold him. My friend was not
grasping man; he didn't even try to
get the price the horse was really
worth as wood-splitter; he just let
him go as a plain trotter."-N. Y. Sun.

THE VERNON PARK RAILWAY.

An Injunction to Stop 1t Going
Through the Anderson Tract.
Clarence G. Anderson, Jane Anderson,
administrators of the estate of Edward c.
Anderson. Jr. Eliza c. Chisholm and Sarah
c. Anderson petitioned the superior court
yesterday, through their attorneys, Charl-
ton & Mackall, for an injunction against
the Vernon Park Railway Company to pre-
vent 1t from running its proposed railroad
through the Anderson tract, on the east
side of the White Bluff road, IA miles south
of Estill avenue.
After hearing the petition Judge Falli-
CANT granted temporary restraining order
against laying the track through the dis
puted land, and ordered the Vernon Park
Railway Company to show cause on April
Il why an injunction pendente lite should
not be granted.
The petitioners claim that they have re-
Gently made arrangements to subdivide the
tract into building lots, and that from its
proximity to the city it will soon become
valua ole. They further claim that if the
railroad is allowed to cross it diagonally it
will cut up and permanently dishgure its
symmetrical proportions aud cause irrep-
arabic damage
It is also alleged that the railway COM
pany has not condemned the lands as
required by law or made any offer of com
pensation to the petitioners, but proposes to
enter and cross it irrespective of the damage
or injury which will consequently ensue.

SCALES LIGHT IN WEIGHT.
Thirty-one SETS In the Market Reported
in Bad Order.

Thirty-one Sets in the Market Reported
in Bad Order.
Inspector j. P. Whites report to the
county commissioners yesterday of his in
spection of weights and scales in the city
market contains some facts likely to set
housekeepers to thinking. The inspector re-
ports thirty-one sets of scales light. Besides
being light they were covered with
filth, and if cleaned they
would be lighter still, The inspector found
the entire market in good condition, and
they were new, having been used but a
short time.
The inspectors report shows:
Beef butchers scales in bad order. .....,.... 30
In good order ..,......,........ -....... 49,.
Pork butchers scales in bad order. ....... ....
Chicken stall scales in bad order. ..........
Fish stalls-ail scales inspected bad ..... 8
Some of these weights and scales, the in
spector says, are deficient ons ounce to the
pound. This is not because they have been
tempered with, but because they are worn
out. Many scales have not been inspected
in three years, and some have never been
inspected.
The scales in good order and stamped by
the inspector are:
FH. Logan's spring scales correct; two
others light weight.
W. s. Cherry's spring scales correct.
Cohen's spring scales correct; platform
scales light weight
s. Gardeners weights correct and
stamped.
W. Eddy's weights correct and stamped.
Drayton's steelyards correct.
In the pork butchers stalls all scales, six
in number, are light in weight.
In the fish stalls the inspector found three
sets of weights light and the scales In bad
order.
The dressed fowl dealers have the best
scales in the market.
The state law requires that all weights
and measures used in Chatham county in
spected, and, if correct, stamped. The city
ordinances require the clerk of MARKET to
see chat all weights and measures used in
the market and by green grocers are in~
spected by the county inspector. There
seems to have been a general lack of the
enforcement of either the city or state law.

TO MAKE TIE CANAL A BASIN
The Big Work the Central Railroad is
About to Begin

me Big YORK the central Railroad is
About to Begin.
The Central railroad, as stated in the
MORNING NEWS some time ago. is about to
begin the work of transforming the Ogee-
chez canal basin into dock. The plans
embrace the removal of the locks at the
river and the deepening of the bed of the
canal about three feet up to the new naval
stores sheds. This work, however, will
ultimately be extended to the southern end
of the basin.
To do this work the water will be kept
out of the basin by Golfer dams, and a
railroad track will be built on the bed of
the canal. The dirt will be spaded upon
fiat cars and will be hauled out aad used for
filling up low places on the Vale ROYAL
tract and elsewhere.
The line Of wharves on the west side of
the canal is now being built a distance of
1000 yards south from the Bay street
bridge.
When the canal basin is dug out its en-
tire length the old lumber basin bet ween
the V formed by the tracks which pass
over the brick viaducts will be deepened so
that flats can be loaded with coal intended
TO be transferred to steamers in the harDor.
Geaeral Manager Gabbett says that the
canal is destined to prove very valuable ad-
junct to the Central railroad and the Ocean
Steamship Company. When 1t is deepened
the full length of the basin it will give
half of milo of good water frontage on both

mLAUeHL1N & son BURNED OUT.

I
Fire Damages His Stock of Second
/ Hand Furniture and Auction Goods.
| A few minutes before II O'Clock last night
. telephone alarm was sent into fire head
quarters from 7. J. Davis hay and grain
store, No. 1856 Bay street. IL was followed
/ few minutes later by an alarm from box
| s, at Bay and Whitaker streets.
The alarms were occasioned by dense
black smoke issuing from the auction store
of J. Mclaughlin & Son, No. $50 Bay street.
The stock on the two floors on the Factors
walk and above on Bay street were burning
brightly when the department arrived, and
Chief Puder, seeing the location OF the fire
aud the difficulty of getting at it, turned in
a second alarm, bringing out the whole de-
partment. 1t was wise expedient, as the
burning stock consisted or a lot
OF secondhand furniture, mattresses filled
with excelsior and feathers. pictures and
other stuff of the most infammable charac-
ter
The firemen found it difficult matter to
work, as the smoke was intense, filling the
space under the sheds on Bay street with
dense volumes. In the rear of the
building on River street were a number
of Central railroad freight ears
strung along the track in the way 81 the
hremsu working on the river side. Added
to this the fire hose burst in all directions,
rendering good deal Of it useless. At one
time II looked as If there would be a disas-
trous conhagratIon, as the whole block was
threatened. Fortunately, though, there
was no wind blowing TO speak
Of. The firemen after hard
and persistent work for an hour or so
succeeded in combining the flames to the two
floors tie contents OF which are pretty we'll
destroyed. The building is only slightly
damaged.
The third floor was occupied by the Work
ingmen's Benevolent Association as a meet
ing room. The furniture in this room IS not
damaged much.
The fire originated under the stairway of
the floor on the Factors walk, in pile of old
mattresses, which were as dry as finder.
The blaze soon communicated with the floor
above by the stairway in the rear part of
the store. The cause of the fire is not
known. There was no fire in the place and
the store was closed up about $3.50 o'clock
last night The store adjoining on the west
side was occupied by !. d. LaRoche 81 Son
on thu Bay street floor. and the top floor by
Morris Brown, who had a considerable
stock of new and casL-of clothing, and
secondhand furniture. 1t is not he-
lieved that there is any damage to it except
by smoke.
Kavannaugh & Brennan's store was also
filed with smoke, which may damage some
of their stock, owing to its peculiar nature,
it being of produce and fruits and vege-
tables.
Mclaughlin g. Son carry 81, 200 to g., 500
insurance. but the whole loss will probably
be 50, 600
The building is estimated to be damaged
about 81 500. 1t is owned by the Telfair
Hospital. T. Mayhem Cunningham is the
agent. 1t is insured, but in what agency
could not be ascertained.
The fire brought out large crowd of
people, but they dispersed after seeing that
the department had it well in hand.
