Constables Land.


Charleston, S. c. Dec. 12--Something
like a sensation was created here tonight
by a raid on Castle Pinckney. the his
toric fortress in the harbor. which is the
only one that never fired a gun against
the federal forces during the late civil
war. The fort was occupied by the South
Carolina state troops soon after Mai
Anderson evacuated Fort Moultrie and
took possession Of Fort Sumter. It was
fortified with such ordnance as was then
available, but being near the city was out
Of range of the hOstilities that were en-
acted during the four years of the war.
The raid was made by the state consta-
bles. who were in search Of contraband
whisky The garrison. consisting of one
man, forbade the raiders to land, as IL was
after shutdown, and after some parleying
the latter withdrew II is reported that
Fort Sumter will next be raided in the
search for contraband liquor. Castle
Pinekney is now used as a station for
the lighthouse service. The ccnstabIes
claim that a quantity of contraband whis-
Ky is stored there, but the keeper win
not allow search unless they are armed
with some authority from the federal gov
eminent.

A SUIT ovER A REBATE.
O. L. Bucki Brings II Against IN
Florida Central and Peninsular Road

O. L. Bucki Brings It Against the
Florida Central and Peninsular Road.
Jacksonville. Fla. Dec Livery lum-
Der dealer and every railroad company
in the south will be interested in test
case now on trial here. Charles l. Bucki
OF New York. appeared in the United
States district court here to-day as plain
tin In the suit of L. Bucki & Son, for
merly Of EllaviIle. against the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad Company.
for the recovery Of about $1,000 excess Of
freight paid the defendant company on
lumber shipped from the Ellaville mills TO
tidewater at Fernandina and Jacksonville.
The plaintiff had a contract with the
railroad by the terms of which a certain
freight rate was to be paid on the lumber,
and a certain rebate to be paid back by the
company. After the passage of the rail-
road commission law in 1857, the company
claimed that the payment Of any rebate
verbal promises to pay 1t. Mr.. Bucki
sues for the rebate under the statute
which enforces the fullflment of contracts
made in good faith. When this suit is set
tied Mr.. BucH viii sue the Florida Central
and Peninsular Company, for damages
entailed by the enforced removal of his
lumber business to this city, because it had
to be done at a loss in Ellaville by reason
Of his inability TO collect his
rebate on freight promised by the
contract. The suit is attracting much at
tention here. Mr.. Bucki is vice president of
the Yellow Pine Company of New York,
and was recently the defendant in a IA
nous divorce suit in that city. There is
every prospect that he will win his suit.

poorly-the distance being too much for
her, and she quit like dog. The bookies

to 5. The boys pumped their money on
this race and Marsh Redon was hit for
over Sc, 800
The third race proved set-up for Young
Arion, who proved winner in everything
she was entered for. She opened at even
money and closed at 8 to s.
