RATES ON SHIP FREIGHT.
The Richmond and Danville at Logger
heads With the Commission.

The Richmond and DanVille at Logger
heads With the Commission.
ATLANTA, Ga. Feb. I2-To-day Capt
Harry Jackson, attorney for the Richmond
and Danvile. filed a bill in the United
/ States court asking that the railroad com
mission be eBjoined from proceeding against
the Richmond and Danville in certain
cases. The bill states that in 1889 the legis-
lature passed law amending the general
railroad commission law, which vested IN
the railroad commission authority and duty
to fix rates TO control ship freight passing
over two distinct railroad lines from one
point 20 another point ia this state. In ac-
cordance with that law on Sept. 1. 1890. the
commission issued what is known
as circular No. III, fixing joint
rates. This circular is to the. effect that
where freight IS passed over two or more
roads the rate Of freight 70 be charged shall
not exceed the local rate OF freight charged
by the lines less 10 per cent. The Richmond
and Danville has 50 far failed 10 comply
with this circular. although frequently re-
ouested 70 put it in effect by the commits
sion, aud on Jan. ~ last the commission
served the following notice on the officials
of the Richmond ald Danville:
The numerous complaints against the Rich
mond and Danville system, and the roads
operated 10y them. indicate the clear purpose OF
those roads TO disregard our rule in reference
to joint rates and we find ourselves therefore
under the disazreeable necessity Of employing
the means which the law has provided TO en-
force obedience TO these rules and regulations.
We trust your road will see the importancs of
complying with these rules and regulations at
once. thereby obviating the necessity
Of instituting multitude Of suits
against the several roads operated by the r Itch
mOnd and Danville system. The commission
have waited patiently for weeks In the vain
hope that this would be done and no alternative
seems now left but the above indicated. Please
accept this our formal preliminary to the in
stitution of suits. which will certainly be
brought unless within thirty days there is a
compliance with our circular No. III.
The Richmond and Danville has not as
yet put the circular into effect, and has
violated its provision daily. since il was
issued by the commission. The penalty for
failure TO comply with the rule is not ex-
ceeding IS, 600 for each violation. The bill
attacks the constitutionAlity of the amend
ment to the general railroad commission
law. The railroad company asks that the
commission be enjoined from proceeding
against them, and Judge Newman granted
a temporary restraining order until to-
morrow morning at 10 O'Clock, when he
will hear the case.

TAXES ON PHOSPHATE.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA. Feb. 12-Attor-
ney General Lamar to-day filed the follow
ing important opinion with the governor:
OFFICE OF TIE ATTORNEY GENERAL
TALLAHASSEE, FLA. Feb. u, 1892.
Coz. Francis p. Fleming. TdIdbdssee:
SIR-Your inquiry Of recent date as TO liabiI-
ity 70 taxation under the act of 1889 OF soft
phosphate when offered and sold as a fertilizer
has been duly considered by me, aud 1 am Of
the opinion that 1t is so liable and subject to the
provisions OF chapter SS5s laws of Florida
Some chemists, am aware, speak Of this soft
phosphate az mari, " but as used in the ABOVE
act, L do not consider that the term ''marl"
properly embraces these soft phos-
phates now being offered and sold
IN the market as fertilizers. The
essential characteristics Of mari" as used. both
by scientific aud Agricultural writers, is carbon
ate Of lime, while the essential characteristics
OF the ''phOsphates, =" as used by the same
authorities. is either phosphate OF lime or some
combination OF phosphoric acid with a base.
As phosphoric acid is one of the most important
elements in all fertilizers, especially designated
by our fertilizer law for examination and esti-
mate, IL seems reasonable to conclude that all
1ertlliztng materials containing II are properly
included in the provisions of the law when not
otherwise excepted therein. The recent discov-
cry OF these phosphates in this state and their
extensiveness and wide use probably as fer
tiliZers preclude the idea that the legislature
meapt TO include them under the word mari. g."
Very truly. W. B. LAMAR,
Attorney General.

The Preferences of Some of the Lead
ing Citizens OF Wsycross.
WAYCROss, GA, Feb. 12.-Apropos the
great question now sgitating the minds Of
the people as to the most available man for
the presidency, your correspondent started
out to get the views of a few Of
the leading men OF Waycross
and succeeded in establishing the
fact that Grover Cleveland is the most
popular man with the people IN this section.
Col. Joel l.. Sweat, who is considered a
leader il all matters Of Importance was the
first seen. "rhe democratic national con-
vention,n said the coloHel, "shonld, under
the conditions as they then exist, nominate
q ticket with which we can win, but with
the light now before me / favor Hill of
New York for President aud
Gray of Indiana for Vice President or Cor
man and Boies"
Col John C. Mcdonald 81 am for
Grover Cleveland for President, because he
is the ablest exponent Of the great issue Of
tariff reform. For the democrats to fail at
the coming convention to nominate him
would be a virtual back down on that issue
III we are to fight on that line let US take
the man who tells in unmistakable terms
how he stands on any and all Issues affect
ing the people"
Col. Leon a. wilson: Mr.. Cleveland
has given dignity and prestige to the subject
in which the people are most vitality inter-
ested. He is a pure democrat, statesman,
and in sympathy with the people in their
oppressed condition. Hence consider him
the most available candidate for the presi-
dency."
Col. s. W. Hitch: IF honesty and intel
hgence count for anything, give me Grover
Cleveland
DIR. B. j. Smith: "Grover Cleveland, in
my opinion, Is without doubt the most
available man for the presidency. He has
been tried and found honest and true. He
has the ability and more magnetism than
any other prominent man Of the country. "

ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 12.-Another sensa-

noted Ryan case to-day when Steve Ryan,
the young dry goods merchant, who is be-
hind the bars Of Fulton county Jail for con-
tempt of court on account of his l,OO0,-
900 failure, was taken to the Office of a
commissioner to give his testimony in the
case or Wise and Others, who attack the
mortgages Mr.. Ryan gave to his father aud
brother before he failed. Mr.. Ryan has
conceived a bitter hatred for J. j. Spald-
ing, one of the leading attorneys for the
creditors, on account of his vigorous and
Incorporating conduct of the case When
Mr. Ryan was put on the stand to
give his testimony, the examination being
conducted IN Commissioner Parry's office,
and Mr.. Spalding's chair facing close TO the
witness chair, instead OF taking this seat,
he walked close up to the lawyer, and was
in an attitude 20 strike him, when he DIS

Spalding stated that he had been
warned that Mr.. Ryan had threatened upon
several occasions to attack him, and he was
prepared and on his guard. Several of the
lawyers friends were also aware OF Mr..
Ryan's intentions and were watching him
closely. If be had struck the threatened
blow a serious, IL not fatal, difficulty would
undoubtedly have occurred.

ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 10. - Charles E.
Brannan, chairman of the railroad commit
tee of the Southern Travellers Association,
through Kontz & Conyers, attorneys for
the association, to day filed petition be-
fore the railroad commission asking that all
the railroads doing business in the state be
required to issue l,00O-mile books at $50
each and 2,000-mile books at $40 each-two
cents per mile. AT present the roads which
issue l,OOO,mile books charge $25 for them "A
particularly important feature of the
petition is a provision that the railroad
companies be required to make these
books good over all lines in their system
that is, for example, that one
book cover the Richmond and Danville and
its leased lines. Mr. Brannan is also sending
out plank petitions all over the state to be
signed by citizens and drummers indorsing
the petition for the 2-cent rate which is to
be available to all who want to take ad-
vantage of it. The commission will con-

Barrett To-day those bills were returned

for certainty last night they had been
found, in view Of their not having been re-

the fact lest some one be placed under CEN

these indictments were found is OF necessity
withheld, but it comes from good authority
that 1t is from most reliable source. These
cases Will not come up at the present term

March at an adjourned term which Judge
Boynton has deemed necessary to finish up
the docket, and if possible clear the jail.

was expressed by the negroes, one Of whom
