Strange story of q Suit.

In q few days attorney w f. A Bern
hamer will file q suit by George Davidson
against his wife. Jane Davidson, to compel
her to deed TO him the property In which
they reside. on Dougherty street. alleging
that the property is held by her In trust
for him by virtue of a resulting trust. The
property in question was acquired By
Davidson in 1856 under title bond. The
property was paid for by him In foil. At
the time the civil war began he was IN
New Orle ans. and was drafted into the con-
federate army. and during the war was
left for dead lying upon the battlefield in
front Of Vicksbrrg. He was not dead. how
ever, and recovered from his wounds.
Afterwards he returned TO his home and
was received by his wife. and thoy have
spent their lives together since that time.
After his reported death his wife had q
deed executed TO her upon the surrender
of she title bond, and when her husband
returned home she refused TO convey the
property TO him, and il is to compel this
transfer that the suit will be brought. The
property ia ut the present time valued at
about -. 600.

think that railway properties will continue
long in their present unfavOrabio position.

Rates have been too low both on gers

OF the railroad properties get rio OF the
idea shat competitive traffic must be had
at any cost. and would really establish

Change of Plan.

Under the original contract with
the King Iron Bridge Co., there
was to be short truss span thirty
feet long at the south end of the St.
Clair street bridge, between the old
abutment and a pier to be erected.
When the old abutment fell down
the engineer in charge, Prof. Mel
son, recommended to the city and
county that this short span be
done away with and wing walls
built on either side, extending
back from the pier to the bank
and the intervening space be
filled in, thus extending Bridge
street out thirty feet and making
a better approach to the bridge.
The members Of the city council
and the bridge committee of the
county court held an informal
meeting Tuesday afternoon, when
the matter was explained to them
by Prof. Nelson and Mr.. Morris,
of the King Bridge Company.
After a full discussion it was
that the change be made,
the price agreed on-S3. 200 for
the extra work Aecessary-and
the contract ordered to be drawn
up.

The Old Abutment.

There was more trouble about
the crossing Of the St. Clair street
bridge the 6srt Of the week. In
order to strengthen the bridge the
contractors drove down a pile on
each side and placed a. sill from
one to the other for the lower
chords Of the bridge to rest on.
This arrangement had hardly been
completed Sunday afternoon when
the retaining wall at the end Of the
sidewalk on the upper side of the
bridge fell down, which caused
some uneasiness and at 7 o'clock
that night the bridge was again
closed for travel except for pedes-
TRANS. 1t remained closed until
noon Monday when it was again
opened for light vehicles. Mon
day morning the remnant of the
abutment wall was pulled down
and the work of putting in the
piling renewed.
The abutment wall which fell
as soon as undermined, was built
in IS47, the late Robert A. Draw
ner having the contract. The
stone was quarried on the Wal
cult place near the Big Eddy, by
Mr.. Henry r. Williams, the gro.
Ger, and boated down to the
bridge, where they were hauled up
by a crab. The wall was started
in front of the original abutment
built in 1918, and after it had
been raised some eight or ten feet
was tiled" into the old abutment.
The Bridge street sewer, which
was put down some seventeen or
eighteen years ago and runs under
the sidewalk on the east side of the
street. had an outlet through the
retaining wall which fell Sunday, !
and the sewer pipe was broken
some time ago by the settling of
The wall, causing the water passing
through the sewer to seek another
,utlet which it found underneath
he abutment wall, softening the
ground and causing it to cave in

begun at the point where the piles
