ENID FELT SIGHTED.
So the Towns Officers Tried to Stop a Ieo,
leland

So the Towns Officers Tried to Stop a Rock
Island Train.
OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., May 22.-Great
excitement prevails over the capture of a
Rock Island train by officers of the city of
Enid for violation of the city ordinance
against running faster than six miles an
hour within the city limits. In fight be
tween the crew of the train and the city
officers one of the officers was beaten to
death with coupling pin in the hands OF
a trainman.
The Enid authorities retaliated for alleg-
ed discrimination by passing the ordi-
nance. A freight train running 80 miles
an hour through the city was compelled to
stop by an accidental breaking of a coup
ling. The officers boarded the train fol
the purpose of arresting the crew. A fight
ensued between the trainmen and officers,
coupling pins, clubs and revolvers being
freely used.
During the fight the train started again,
carrying three officers who were trying to
arrest the trainmen. The officers were
overpowered and elected, bruised and
bleeding, at the next stop. One of them
has since died of his injuries. There is
strong talk today of using dynamite. The
company will be held responsible for its
acts bv the Enid officers

that resulting from the diffusion of the
ideas of PertotoZZi, that resulting from
the discoveries of Frocbel and that new
one, resulting from the study of the

expresses himself greatly pleased with
the survey made of the schools and the
interest manifested by the teachers in
discussions of educational questions.
The large crowds OF people who visit
Forsyth park these warm afternoons are
complaining greatly of the nuisance
caused by the firing of piles of leaves and
trash there. The leaves are raked to-
gether in piles during the day, which are
set on fire in the afternoon just when the
park is most frequeuted. The smoke and
smulge caused by the firing leaves is
very unpleasant. 1t has been suggested
already that the leaves are valuable as
plant food to the trees. There are a num-
Der of low places in the park, and if holes
were dug aud the leaves buried in these
places doubly good result would be ac-
complished. The low places would be
filled up and the trees would not be de-
priyed of their natural fertilizer

A PLACE FOR THE SHELLS.
A Chance to Cover the Drayton Street
Cobblestones

Cobblestones.
The shells which are being taken up
from jefferson street are being distrib-
uted over different parts of the city Bull
street south Of the park extension has
been given a surface of two or three
inches, and a good many have been used
IN filling low places on Duffy and other
streets.
The tearing up Of the shell pavement on
Jefferson street, preparatory to paving
the street with belgian block has shown
that the claim Of the property holders on
the street that the pavement was only
slightly worn was well founded. An ex-
animation of the street where IL has been
torn up shows that there are or were to
inches of shell along the entire street,
and in places 10 to II inches. An inch or
two below the surface the pavement is
just as good as when it was put down,
and the shells are not worn at all The
property holders on the street are now
pointing to this fact as an evidence of ex-
travagance on the part of the city in tear
ing up pavement that was good for sew
eral years, to put down more expensive
one.
1t has been suggested to the MoRNINe
News that it would be a good opportunity
for the city to make use of the quantity
OF shells which are being removed from
Jefferson street by surfacing the cobble-
stones on Drayton street. A petition was
presented to the council some time ago by
the property holders on the street, asking
that the portion of the street
from Bay to Broughton be
given surface of some material
that would deaden the intolerable noise
produced by the rafting of the vehicles
over the cobble stones. The petition was
favorably considered, aud it was under
stood that something of the kind would
be done. Nothing has been done as yet,
however. AS the shells have TO be re-
moved from Jefferson street anyway the
additional cost of laying them
on Drayton street would be infnitissi-
nal almost. There are enough shells to
surface almost the whole of Drayton
street. The improvement is one that
would be welcomed by the residents on
the street and by those who drive over it
and the suggestion is worth considering
by the city. The portion of the street
east of the court house which was sur
faced with shells three or four years
ago is a smooth and hard pavement and
the surfacing has given the greatest sat
isfaction.

TO RIDE FOR THREE CENTS
The Cheap Fares on West Broad Street
in Effect To-day.

President Collins Does Not Say What
the Electric Railway Will Do-The
Effect of the City and Suburban's
Cut to Determine What Course 1t
Will Pursue-An Injunction Talked
Of
The City and Suburban railway will
begin carrying passengers on its West
Broad street line to-day at cents. The
reduction does not apply to any Of the
other lines Of the system as yet.
Whether similar reductions will be
made on the Liberty street line, the
Abercorn and Whitaker street lines and
the BrOughtOn and Habersham
street line, depends upon the success
with which the reduction on the
West Broad street line is met. Mr.. J. n.
Hartman, Of New York, who is now
directing the financial operations of the
City and Suburban railway. said yester-
day that he could not say yet whether
further reductions would be made or not.
He said it is possible that they will be
made The result of the cut on the West
Broad street line will determine the
matter.
NOTHING TO SAY.
1t wasiexpected that President Collins,
of the Electric railway, would have some
thing to say in reply to the interview
with Mr.. Hartman in yesterdays Morn
ING News
Il have nothing to say" said Mr.. Col
Inns to a MORNING News reporter. 1--WE
are going quietly ahead and attending TO
business. That is an
Mr. Collins was asked if the Electric
railway would reduce rates in cOmpeti-
tion with the City and Suburban.
~ cannot say yet he replied. "We
will await further Developments
Other directors Of the Electric railway
who were seen declared that there viii
be no reduction in fares on their line.
We give more for nickel than the
City and Suburban does for cents said
one
MORE MILES FOR A FARE.
"Our lines are all belts. and man can
ride from four TO seven miles for one fare
The City and Suburban can only give q
two-mile ride for cents on the West
Broad street line. Considered proper
tionately the 3 cent rate does not appear
to be such a great reduction after all"
perhaps the City and Suburban people
have decided TO give away their property
in Savannah TO tho public, We all know
they are very generous anyway suE
gested another director.
Both sides may be bluffing, but the gen
efdl OPINION Is lnaJ II the CITY and
Suburban announces a accent rate on all
its lines the Electric railway viii meet it,
Summer is coming on rapidly now and 3
cent fare would tend TO largely increase
the travel on the street railways.
TALK OF AN INJUNCTION.
It was reported yesterday that the
holders of the forty shares of City and
Suburban railway stock, which are not
held by MIR Parsons and his associates
would ask the court for an injunction to
prevent the City and Suburban railway
from putting into effect its cent rate.
These forty shares are owned by the
Savannah Investment Company, the COM
pany which built the Belt Line, and
which is now identified with
the Electric railway interests.
A movement of the kind indicated would
therefore be very plainly one on the part
of the Electric railway. 1t is likely that
there will be some developments in a day
or two.

No state in the union can compare with
Virginia for romantic and picturesque

CHENEY GETS s4, 900.
The Jury Adds Interest to the Princi-
pal of His First Verdict.

Henry Cheney was given verdict in
the city court yesterday of 1000 against
the Ocean Steamship Company for per-
sonal injuries.
Cheeney's injuries were received Aug
2, 1883, while he was aiding in loading
cotton into one Of the vessels of the Ocean
Steamship Company He was in
the hole of the ship, and a
falling bale of cotton knocked him
down and breaking his ankle in such a
manner that disease set in, and he alleged
that he was in danger of having to lose
his entire leg He stated that he was
totally and permanently incapacitated for
work.
Cheeney's case was based largely on the
fact that there was no hatch tender at
the opening TO warn those below when
the bale was coming The question was
as TO whether the company was in duty
bound to provide q hatch tender in
which case the latter's negligence would
fall back upon the company.
The first jury in the case awarded
Cheney $500. The supreme court re
versed the decision of the lower court in
refusing to grant new trial. The case
on its second trial was non-suited
which non-suit was also over
ruled by the supreme court. The
third trial, concluded yesterday gave
Cheney the verdict above mentioned 1t
seems they concluded to give him $500 in
terest on the verdict of the first Jury. The
plaintiff was represented by Messrs.
Saussy 81 Saussy. Mr. r. NJ. Cunning
ham, Jr., who conducted the defense.
said the case would certainly be carried
again before the supreme court.

LUMBER MEN SURPRISED.
Judge Morris Renders His Decision in
the Schooner Neeley's Case.

bAC 0CAOOASI N6646Y B OdS6.
Judge Morris, of the United States
district court of Maryland, has rendered
his decision in the case Of the schooner
William Neeley VS.. George w. Bush Il
Sons Co., of Wilmington, Del, which was
tried before him in Baltimore in Novem-
Der. The decision was against the Bush
company. All the ports on the South At
lantic coast have felt lively interest in
this case, and all of the lumber merchants
here and elsewhere are greatly surprised
at the decision.
The Georgia Lumber Company of this
city defended the suit for the Bush com
pany. Mai. Wylly, president of the
Georgia Lumber Company, was seen yes
terday. He says the case will undoubt-
eddy be appealed. No copy of the deci-
sion has yet reached Savannah, but it is
looked for with the greatest interest. The
lumber men here say they are at loss to
understand on what grounds the decision
was made. This will be seen when the
copy arrives.
The parties who are interested in be-
half Of the schooner Medley say the deci-
sion is no surprise to them as they have
all along expected it to be favorable.

MAY MAKE THE CHANGE.
The Railroad Meeting to Be Held in
Montgomery To-day.

The long deferred meeting of the stock
holders of the Western railway of Ala
bama, and the Atlanta and West Point
railroad, is to be held in Montgomery
Ala, today. At least that is the pro
gramme, and it remains to be seen
whether or not there is to be another
poStpOnement.
1t could not be ascertained yesterday
whether Mr.. Conner is still in New York
city, or whether he is on his way to Mont
gomery to attend this meeting. Unless
he gets there it will, of course, be put of
again. The object of the meeting is to
put Mai. w. f. Shellman in charge of the
roads as president and general manager
in place of Col. G. H. Phinizy and Capt.
Tyler. If the meeting is held it is proba-
bic that the change will be made
