Action Of the L. and N. in Threatenir
20 Leave the Association.

Action OF the L. and N. in Threatening
60 Leave the Association.
The action of the Louisville and Nash
Vile in giving notice that that road in
tended to withdraw from the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association has
created much talk among railroad men
and others interested in general as TO
what would be the effect of such action.
The louisville and Nashville railroad
is one of the strongest members Of the
association and has been as powerful in
holding it together as any other road in
thesouth. Receiver Conner thinks the with
drawal of that road would probably mean
the dissolution of the association. The
association has been a power among
southern railroads, and the breaking Of
the pool would mean great deal to some
of the smaller lines which can hardly af-
ford to hold their own against competi-
tion.
Nothing is known with regard to the
reasons for the contemplated withdrawal
of the road except those mentioned in yes
terday's dispatch to the MORNING NEWS
1t stated in the opinion of some
railroad men, THAT the road was blufing to
secure a revisal of a recent order operat-
ing against some of its connections,
which were charged with the violation Of
some of the rules of the assooia-
tion. Whether this is the case or not
will pro badly be determined at the meet
ing of the executive board of the associa-
ton, to be held in Atlanta next Tuesday,
Feb 81.
The Withdraw wal of the Louis vile and
Nashville, and the probable consequent
dissolution of the association would no
doubt be a great blow to many southern
railways as it might involve them in a
long and hard fought rate war.

BEFORE THE RECORDER.
Justice Dealt Out to a Number of
Petty Criminals.


Howard Williams and Roland Harris,
the two negro boys arrested for stealing
from the ruins of the fire on Bay street,
presented an amusing sight in the re-
corder's court yesterday morning. Will
Jams is very small boy-too small, in
fact, to punish-and was turned over to
his mother. who was instructed to keep
him out of the streets at night Harris,
the other boy, was old enough and big
enough, however, to be taught a severe
lesson for stealing, and was turned over
TO the city court.
Annie Addison, colored, was charged
with creating disturbance in the streets,
and was fined So, which was paid by a
Joint subscription made up by her friends
IN court. 1t seems that Annie had tired
of her boarding house, but when she tried
TO move her trunk the landlady attempted
to fire Annie and her trunk down stairs
together. Annie was crying and making
night hideous when Policeman kaVanaCgh
ran her into the barracks
The case against Mollie Polite. Rachel
and Nellie Jones for fighting in the streets
was continued until this morning, 1t was
a tree-for-all scrap, in which an AK,
Ratchet oyster dipper and as Rachel
said, ''other dangerous wcepons,n cut a
prominent figure.
Tom Fields fell asleep under stoop on
Perry street night before last, and, not
having So to pay his fine, will spend the
next five days in Jail, where he will at
least be more comfortable.
A well-known young white man had to
pay $40 for breaking into the house of his
lady friend and making a disturbance
when all good people were sleeping. The
woman apparently pro voked the man, who
started to wipe her OF the earth.
Tom Robinson, colored, was charged
with resisting an officer, and was fined s.
or the customary ten days. When the
policeman tried to arrest the negro he
was compelled to blend his moral suasion
with liberal use of the club, and Robin
son looked decidedly worse for wear when
he stood up before the recorder.
David jackson, the negro arrested for
stealing pair of trousers from the store
of S. Blumenthal. was turned over to
the city court, jackson swore another
negro got him drunk with cheap liquor,
stole the trousers and gave them to him.
The case was too strong against jackson,
and he will have to make another effort
before Judge MacDonell.
One of the most pitiable cases ever
brought before Recorder Wilson was that
OF an apparently respectable white wo-
man yesterday morning. 1t appears that
some time ago the woman, who had been
sick, sought the advice of doctor, who,
among the other medicines, recommended
that she take a little stimuant. The
woman took to the whisky with a ven
geance and has been under the influence
for several days. While she was begging
for mercy she often spoke of her little
child and keenly felt the disgrace of
being sent to jail for thirty days.
There was not sufficient evidence to
convict the five negroes charged with run
ming a policy gig and the case was dis
missed.

THINKS 1T A RLuFF.
What Base Ballist Says of the Pro
posed New Southern LaaRua.

The special published in the MORNING
News yesterday with reference to the
formation of a new association created
quite stir in local base ball circles
The proposed plan is to form a new
league, consisting of New Orleans, Mo
bile, Pensacola, Mon gom cry, Selma and
Birmingham. 1t is thoueht by the base
ball people in Mobile that with short
jumps low salary limit and the Sunday
game feature the new league would be a
great success.
Although circular letters have been
sent out calling meeting at Mobile, it is
not believed that the scheme will amount
to anything.
THE whole truth of the matter" said
a man wei posted on Southern League
matters, lis that Montgomery is dead sore
on being left out of the league, and prob
ably wants to take this step as a big
blutf.'
The Savannah league is bsiug signed as
rapidly as possible. Manager McCloskey
receives about thirty letters and tcle-
grams every day, and just as soon as the
players contracts are signed their names
will be made public

A BIG VERDICT.
j. j. Waller Gets $40, 900 for the Los
of a Leg.

of Leg.
The suit of ]. j. Waller against the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway,
brought through his father, G. w. Waller,
for S25, 900 damages for the loss of his leg,
resulted yesterday in a verdict of $4,000,
one of the largest that has been obtained
in the city court in some time.
The accident of which the suit was the
outcome.se occurred Feb. 10, 1898
The boy had carried dinner to his
father, who was employed at the railroad
shopst and was returning when he was
sent under some stationery cars to get a
ball with which some of the employees of
the road were playing. In the meantime
pusher was attached, to the cars and
begun to move them. Before he could
get out of the way the wheels of the car
had passed over his leg, which was after
ward amputated
Suit was brought against the road
through MIR. w. w. Gordon, Jr. The
first petition filed was non-suited. TWAS
re-filed for this term of the court. Mr.
w. S. Chisolm handled the case for the
road He made able arguments, both on
a demurrer to the petition and a motion
for non-suit at the conclusion of the
plaintiffs testimony. Both were over
ruled, however, by the court, and the
case went to the jury, after the arguments,
about l o'clock yesterday. The jury re-
turned after fifteen or twenty minutes
consideration with verdict for $4,000
for the plaintiff. Mr.. Gordon handled
the suit ably and is to be congratulated
on his triumph.
Mr.. Chisolm gave notice of a motion
for new trial. He will appeal on the
grounds presented in his demurrer and
in his motion for non-suit. If the motion
for new trial is denied the case will go to
the snDreme court at once.

DICE THROWN FOR $500 A SIDE.
One Man Has Won $4,000 and the
Game Continues.
From the Philadelphia Record


Chicago, Feb. l7.-One Of the biggest
games of dice ever played IT. Chicago has
been in progress ever since yesterday
afternoon in the rear OF a saloon. The
players are Ed Cook, president and, gen,
eral manager of the Chicago Public Stock
Exchange, and Homer Potwin, owner OF
the building in which the game is being
played.
The men began throwing for small
stakes, but to-day commenced throwing
for $500 side. The first throw out OF
the box decided each play Time was too
precious to wait for horses.
All night long the rattle of the dice in
the leather box and the click on the table
went on, and this afternoon Cook was
said to be $l4 900 ahead, but still they go
on. There seems to be no prospect of q
cessation at present Both men are game,
and both have the nerve TO play their
money.

WEST BROAD STREET OBJECTS.
The Property Owners There Getting
Up Protest


Up Protest.
The troubles Of the council over the
question OF paving a street running north
and south on the west side of the city are
not ended yet The West Broad street
property holders have followed the ex-
ample of the Jefferson street property
holders and are getting up protest TO
/ council on the same grounds as presented
by the names. They will urge that
a block pavement is fully as an
! noylng to them as TO the resi-
dents on any other street, and that
they are unable TO pay the
heavy assessments which would be as
sessed against them for the paving of the
street just at this time They will also
undertake to show that it will be much
cheaper for council TO pave one of the
narrower streets running north and south
and that the burden would fall less heav-
lily upon the property owners of that
street. They will endeavor to show that
IL VIII be more to the advantage of the
city to pave Montgomery street than
either Jefferson or West Broad streets
An effort is being made to induce the
city to try vitrihed brick as a pavement on
West Broad street ifitis fully determined
to pave that street south of Liberty, in
place OF Belgian block The question
whether Xenab'e Bros contract to pave
Jefferson street is valid for the same
amount OF pavement for any
other street will have to be
decided, however, before steps are taken
to try any other pavement. The vitrified
brick pavement has been extensively used
IN Chattanooga, where it is manufactured
by the Tennessee Brick Paving Company
II is also being laid in jacksonville, where
Mayor McDonough recently made an in
spection of it.
1t is claimed for brick paving that it is
equally as durable as Belgian block, is
noiseless, is easily repaired, and can be laid
10 cents yard cheaper than block The
company proposes to take a committee OF
council to Jacksonville TO inspect the paw
ing being put down there and elsewhere
If necessary. A meeting of the council
will be held tomorrow afternoon, when
the paving matter will be further CON
sidered. Atlanta is now yaving Pryor
street, one of the principal BUSH
ness and residence streets of the
city, with vitrified brick for distance Of
over mile. This was decided upon after
a thorough investigation of the merits of
the material. Atlanta is situated within
few miles of Stone Mountain, the great
est granite quarry In the country, and has
been using Belgian block paving for years
Its choice of vitrihed brick appears very
significant under these circum stances.

AN ELOQUENT LECTURE.
pr. Edward N. Calisch Entertains and
Instructs Large Audience.


In spite of the Indictment weather last
night Masonic hall was filed with a
Isrpe and cultivated audience, who had
braved the storm to listen to the lecture
If Rev. Edward n. Calisch on 1.-THE Wan
dering jew" 49,.
Rev. I. p. Mendes, in a few well chosen
renlarks, paid a glowing tribute to the
eminent divine from Richmond, and then
Introduced DR.. Calisch to the audience.
Ne was given most enthusiastic recep-
ton. -
tDteresting and instructive lecture by
beautifully alluding to THE Wandering
IeT,,,' of tradition and that of which the
meets write He tracedswith bit of deli
rate imagery 1.-THE Wandering Jew of
which so many had read in novels and
10 poetry. -.
..The Wandering Jew of history and of
tact He spoke of the prosecutions and
trials of the Jews-how they had been
driven out of Spain, and then abiding to
the discovery of America, said that to the
LEWIS this meant more than a coincidence
II meant that the wandering of the Jew
was at an end. The present history of
the Jew. Dr. Calisch SAID, was emf
npntlv and completely satisfactory. The
was at an end, and to-day he stood a man
among men. The condition of the Jew in
the south, DR.. Caliseh continued, was es-
neciallv gratifying and good. In Russia
ali was not what was hoped for and ex-
nerted. and " said he, "Russia will fall
not by nihilistic bombs, but by her
own hand"
In speaking of the present history of
the Jew, he said, that like blind man
made to see, The Wandering Jew" was
thanking God for his sight. The Jew, he
said. is to-day found in the great universe
ties of the land, they are princes in com
merce, and the avenues of all honors are
open to him.
In regard to the future history of 1.-THE
Wandering Jew" DR.. Calfsch said that
the reformed wing of the Jewish church
in America did not want national res
toration. and that the earnest, Jealous
Christians desired this end more than did
the Jews
"a jew does not mean nationality, -
DIR. Calisch continued, but q creed, re-
Hgious belief, and the Jews do not look
forward to a reunion at Jerusalem or
Palestine America is good enough for
them.
DR.. Calisch closed his lecture with a
beautiful tribute to Christianity and
Judaism saying, like two great rivers,
they would at Gods own appointed time
Join and flow together into the ocean of
eternity
The lecture was under the auspices of
the Young Mems Hebrew Association
and was a decided success socially, artisti-
cally and financially.
After the lecture the hall was cleared
for dancing, which was continued to late
hour.

Joseph H. Durkee, receiver Of the jack
sonville, Tampa and Key West system,
says the Jacksonville Times Union, has
asked Judge Swayne for instructions re-
garding the payment of interest on the
bonds of the different railroad properties
in his hands. The petition recites that
the semi-annual interest on the bonds of
the Atlantic Coast ST. Johns and Indian
River Railroad Company, amounting to
Sl0S00, due Sept. l, 1893, is unpaid, and
that the semi-annual interest of the bonds
of the Sanford and Lake Eustis Railroad
Company, amounting to 300 due Sept
!, 1898, is also unpaid, as is the seiui-
annual interest on the bonds Of the,Jnolt-
sonyille, Tampa and Key West Railroad
Company main line), amounting to $45,
$50, due Jan. l. 1894. The receiver stated
that the branch lines do little more than
earn operating expenses, and that while
he does not have enough funds to pay the
interest on all the bonds, he could pay
the interest on the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West (main line) bonds. Judge
SwaYne ordered that all parties To the
cause, both plaintiff and defendant,
should answer to the petition within the

THE OLD COUNTY MULE.
DR.. Charlton Thinks He Should Be
Pensiened for His Services.

There is an old mule out at the county
convict camp that is so aged as to be unfit
for further service in blowing on the
county farm. and the matter of what
disposition was to be made of him came
up at the commissioners meeting yester-
day.
A new mule was needed and that
brought up the discussion. The animal
referred to is the original county mule
having been in its service about twenty
years. DIR. Charlton thought the mule
should either be shot or be pensioned and
put on the retired list. Mr. Dale OBJ
iected to both these proportions, saying
there was law against shooting on the
countvs property, and that the
mule ought to be sold. 10 was finally de-
cided that the mule should be disposed Of
by sale or otherwise by the chairman Of
the commissioners board.
DIR. Charlton thought 10 would be cru
city 10 let the mule go into the hands Of
some one who would Ill treat him. and he
minated very strongly that he would be
a bidder at the sale.
