He Killed a Preuchr.

pINEIURST, Ga, Aug. 22.-RObert
Gordon is gone, and Rev. Charlie Smith
is buried as result Of row between
the two men. Gordon has not sustained
a good reputation, while Rev. Smith
was quiet, peaceaDle and hard working
lie TOLD all week in the pine woods, and
then on Sunday dispensed orthodoxy of
a brand peculiarly his to what dusky
hearers he could get. One of the lambs
of the flock of which he was shepherd,
was the wife of Gordon, who had been
separated for some time past from her
husband.
Gordon objected to the shepherd and
lamb relationship, and hunted Smith
with wrath in his eve, and a liberal
load OF buckshOt in his gun. lie found
Smith, and, placing the muZzle of the
gun so close that the powder burned his
linen, pulled the trigger, killing his
victim instantly. The body lay upon
| the ground from night until the mid
Ole OF the day, when an inquest was
held and verdict rendered in accord
| dance with the facts. Gordon gave
| himself up to the Dailitf, and deputy
sheriff came to take him to Vienna,
The deputy handculfed him and then
turned to hitch his horse when Gordon
ran, and is probably still running.
| When the deputy reached Vienna with
out his prisoner, he was reprimanded
for allowing the prisoner to escape, and
made to pay 81 for the handcuMs, much
to his dissatisfaction If the fugitive
should read this notice he will confer a
favor upon the deputy by sending
back the handcuiT for which he now
mas no use.-Augusta Chronicle.

Atlanta'S Idle Glasses,

ATLANTA. GA, Aug. 22.-The city
council met this afternoon and agreed
to spend $4,000 on extra public works
for the benefit of the idle laborers
whose numbers are beginning to as
sumo alarming proportions. This mon
ey Is not available by the city for the
purpose out of the regular channels,
but the demands of the idle workmen
have become so urgent that the money
is provided by individuals, who are
hopeful that 1T will alleviate at least a
portion of the want now existing
among the idle laborers of the city. 1t
Is in the nature Of a charity distribu-
ton. From 70 cents to 81 per day is
the amount to be paid the men for
their work. Many of them are skilled
workmen who usually earn from S3 to
IS per day at their trades. Today
crowds Of idle workingmen who col
lected on the street corners were so
large that the police were obliged to
interfere. Almost every branch Of in
dustry has reduced the number of
| Workmen employed, from the mer-
chants to the street car lines. The
street railway company today made Il
cut in the schedules in order to save a
few dollars. The people are working
now to save their nickels. A danger

the country. They bring with them
ideas that may lead to more serious
trouble among the classes who are in
want than Saturday nights demonstra-
tion, when several Incorporate speech
es were made by labor agitators. The
local papers are warning the stragglers
to keep away from Atlanta. If they
continue to come they are likely to be
put in the chaingang for vagrancy. AS
a consequence of the many idle men,
| footpads and housebreakers are over
running the city. The efforts of the
police to disperse the crowds on Mari
eta street today were unavailing,
though no trouble occurred. The men
simply had nowhere else to go and if
forced to move on one minute would
come right back the next, to continue
the discussion of the gloomy prospects.
The clearing house certificates went
into circulation among the banks to-
day. They will be put into use by the
public in a few days, the merchants
having generally agreed to preserve
the local currency at par.

laboters would know by next Saturday.
Resolutions were passed calling for a
boycott OF the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railroad Company
tesscs of State road, on account of the
removal of the Western and Atlantic
shops TO Nashville. I.aboring men were
called upon to refuse to buy goods ship,

nave their freight shipped by Other
routes if they desired the laboring mau's
patronage. A headquarters has heen
established, and other meetings will

FOR THE PEOPLE.
MCkenna's Decision in
the Oakland Case.
All That the Municipality Had Hoped
FORA Blow to the Southern
Pacific Company.

LFor the first time iu The history OF California
the Southern Pacific Railroad comes out of the
United States Circuit Court without decision
in its favor.
The decision of Judge McKenna Yesterday is
against the monopoly, inaSmuch as il refuses
10 grant That corporation the right to rebuild
the structures at the foot OF Broadway torn
down by order OF the city OF Oakland 1t re-
fuses TO grant right which has been claimed
by the railroad since the charter was granted
the Central Pacific, and which has been sus-
tanned by numerous decisions-a right 10 con-
trol the water front and guard 10 as they see fit
Ihe tact that the city is restrained from action
on the premises counts for naughr, because IL
has never had decision in its favor 1t is an
opening wedge in the great litigation that will
follow. because it is a victory 10 merely restrain
the Southern Pacific
Judge McKenna simply says: Hands off
until the case be decided upon its merits"
In order TO more clearly understand the
matter as it rests to-day, here is an apt Illus
tration. A sues b on DromssoTy note. Pend
ing trial OF lbe case learns that B contem-
plates disposing OF his property. SO he goes
into courl and asks The Judge 10 grant an in.
junction restraining B from selling any of his
realty until such time as the decision in the
main case shall be rendered. At the same
time A, to dOubly insure himself, takes forcible
possession of some of BIS property. The Judge
decides thus: release the property of B.
and do not dispose Of IL until the main case
is decided. Tnrn the Judge proceeds to take
testimony as regards the note.
Oakland took possession of the water front
al the foot of Broadway and asked that The
railroad be enjoiled from rebuilding fences
The railroad asked that the city be epjoined
from proceeding in its course OF occupation.
Both requests were granted, and the case re-
mains in statu quo. Now il will be III order for
the city to produce before the Circuit Judge the
proof that Il Is entitled 10 The water front, and
the railroad company can, on the other hand,
place in evidence the claims 1t may hav-.
Upon this evidence decision Will be rendered,
and an appeal from this decision VIII be car
ried to the Supreme Court OF the United States
by the parry against whom the ruling Of the
Circuit Court may be given. That this final
decision will be in Oakand's favor Is generally
believed, for The higher court has precedent
In the famous Illinois Central waterfront case.
The Southern Pacific will fight the matter as
long as the courts will permit, for pending ulti-
mate action they Will be allowed TO enjoy Drivi-
leges which cannot be estimated from finan-
cal standpoint.

the action ot Judge Mckenna.

fiagmen be stationed at all the busy street
crossings. This was passed as reported
from the Judiciary Committee, and the
names Of streets where signalmen must
be placed were published in THE CALL on
Friday last. Mr.. Watkinson gave the
only negative vote. and was hissed.
Then came the original ordinance regu-
lating speed of trains at twelve miles an
hour within the city limits and a speed
of four miles at certain points; namely the
old stations on Seventh street. With it
were two amendments, one changing the
twelve-mile maximum to fifteen. the
other the f0ur-mile clause to six. The
first amendment was passed by the fol-
lowing vote:
Ayes-Barnard, BarstOw, Dow. Heitman,
Marshall, SneH Walk inson-7.
Noes-Cap II, Dalton, Manuel Towle-4.
The second amendment passed as fol-
lows:
Ayes-Barnard. Barstow. Dow. Betman,
Marshall. Snell, TOwIe, Watkinsou-S.
Noes--Capell, Dalton, Manuel-3.
1t must be remem bered that the men
who voted no on these amendments wished
to further reduce the speed.
Finally the ordinance as amended was
read. It was the same as that recon-
meDded by the Judiciary Committee and
was published in full In THE CALL last
week. On final passage every member
voted aye; but Mr.. WatkiDson was on his
feet in an instant and explained his vote
by stating that next Monday night he
wOnld move to reconsider all the ordi-
nances, at which every body laughed.
Petitions are still pouring in to the City
Council praying that some action be taken
to limit the speed of the man-kiler on
Seventh street, and the following. signed
by ia good citizens, was read last night:
Inasmuch as The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company has brought about changes in the
running of their steamcars upon Webster and
Seventh streets, thereby endang ring the lives
OF the people crossing their steamcar tracks by
running al a greater speed through the heart Of
the city Than is consistent with the safety of
the public, also cutting of communication
between the upper and lower portions
OF The city, we would respectfully
petition your honorable body 10 limit the run
ming OF steamcars on said streets to eight
miles an hour. except between Oak and Mar
ket on Seventh street. ana between Thr-
teenth and First on Webster street, which
shall be at the rate OF six miles per hour.
There are many ways TO satisfy the require
ments OF rapid transit without sacrificing the
safety and rights of the public.
