A Strange Story.


MILLEDaEvILLE, Ga. Jan. 30-The
Thomas Fair was quite surprise and
everyone was asking the question,
where did he come from?" On Aug .
10, 1874, Mr.. Fair became involved in a
dispute with Mr.. Oliver Ellison, which
resulted In the death of the latter, and
since that day there has been an indict-
ment for murder hanging over him. Mr
Ell1sOn'S relatives have been endeaYor-
Ing to locate his hiding place. Futile
would be the effort to picture their
surprise when it was learned that he
had been right in the heart of Milledge-
vile for thirteen years, without allow
Ing the citizens of this place, except
his immediate family, ever to see him
Mr.. Fair served In the civil war in the
Ninth regiment, and bore to the grave
scars received in defense of the South,
He was buried in the cemetery here.
Ellison was killed 20 years ago In the
southwestern portion of the city. Fair
was jealous of Ellison and stabbed him
about woman. Ellison started to re.
turn to the business portion of the CITY
but fell In the street, where he was
found and carried to his house. He
was dead In few hours. Fair, unwil-
ling to cause his family grief which his
trial would bring on them, immediate,
" left for parts unknown. Every ef-
fort was made to locate him, but to no
avail. His whereabouts since that
time nave been unknown. 1t Is said he
went to swamp near this city, where
he spent seven years, but returned tc
this city about IS years ago. Since
which time he has been hiding in the
home of his brothers, very near the
heart of the city.

WHAT THE CAPITALIST SAYS.

:, :Adolph Sutro will have to depend upon
some future Board Of Supervisors to
grant him a franchise for a street railway
ffom the ferries to Central avenue to con-
meet with his proposed line to the Cliff
House.
Mr.. Sutro appeared before the board at
yesterdays meeting and made plea Tor a
franchise. He explained that he made
the request on behalf of the people, as
such d franchise would insure a scent
fare from the ferries to the ocean.
%. In view of the fact that he was doing
what he considered pIDlic service, MT.
SutT0 said be would ask the board TO con-
slider the franchise TO build a road to Cen
trail avenue as part of the original iran
chiSe to the Cliff House, for which he had
paid S6010, and thus release him from any
further payment. To this end ne asked
that some member Introduce an appllca-
ton for franchise, a copy of which he
held in his hand.
Nobody came to Mr.. Sutro's assistance,
and the silence was growing painful when
Supervisor Denman threw himself into
the breach. He stated that he would in
trOduce the application, although he would
as follows, was then read:
WHEREAS, In the matter of The franchise bid
for by Adolph Suuo for a street railroad on
Pine, Bush, Scott. Taylor and other streets, he
being the only bidder therefor, ana the same
being part Of the system whereby the said
Adolrh Sutro proposes to convey passengers
from the ferries to the Cliff House for a scent
fare; and whereas, the connecting link OF said
proposed road has been acquired by Ad0lph
SutTO al an expense of S6010; and whereas, in
the Judgment Of this board. the franchise on
Pine. Bush and other streets IS and should be
considered and constituted a part of the
original franchise, therefore
RESOLVED, That this board accepts the pay.
IileDt of S6O10 as the highest and best bid for
the franchise last named, and hereby RENTS
Pine. Bush and other streets connecting with
the original franchise, as without the cOnnec-
ti0h to and with the ferries the original fran
chse would be of no value either to the grantee
: or 10 the people Of this city and county.
After the reading of the application
there came another long pause, and at
= length Supervisor FOTman moved that the
application be granted, and Mr.. Denman,
as matter Of form, seconded the motion,
and, the Mayor asked if there was any de-
sire to debate the question.
Supervisor Stanton moved that the mat
ter: be referred to the City and County
Attorney, for the purpose of getting his
opinion on the legality of the franchise,
ia view. of the fact that owing to an error
the application was not advertised The full
thirty davs as ordered by law. His mo-

ordered to call the roll. The rollcall re-

HEBBARD'S DECISION.
Sustains a Demurrer Filed on Behalf
of the Supervisors.


Judge Hebbard rendered decision yes
terday in the injunction suit of the Suffer-
street Railway Company against the
Board of Supervisors, to restrain mat
body from opening bids and granting
franchise to run a railroad on Market
street. from East to Pine. and on Sutter,
from Taylor to Larkin, where the plaintiffs
already have tracks and are operating
cars.
A demurrer had been filed by the City
and County Attorney in behalf OF the
Supervisors, wherein it was maintained
that the court had no jurisdiction in the
case.
In his decision Judge Hebbard says;
"a franchise granted on the publica-
tiou of bids, as alleged, would, as plain
Supervisors will proceed TO do that which
is manjfestly Illegal and involve both
plaiDtiff aud the grantee OF the franchise
in needless litigation. and, If l am correct
in this presum ption, it matters little 1u
this particular case whether the injunction
issue or not. Subdivision of section 1923 oi
the Civil Code declares an injunction can
not be granted to prevent "a legislative acj
by a municipal corporation
'1he plaintiff claims that the acceptance
of bids and the awarding of the franchise
is not a legislative act. or. if it is, it may
he enjoined, and they rely upon the Spring
Valley case, SO Cal. 2S6."
Judge Hebbard then goes on to saw that
section 1923 was not mentioned in that
case, and that that action was one to de-
clare invalid an ordinance already passed,
not to enjOin prospective legislation. The
present acIion was begun to determine Ia
advance the validity of an ordinance not
yet in existence, aud to sustain 1t the
court would be doing indirectly what sub
division of the section quoted says can
not be done.
ITO my mind" Judge Hebbard saws IN
conclusion, "the opinion of Justice Field
in the case of Alpers VS.. the City and
County of San Francisco correctly deter
mines the jurisdiction of the court under
section 1923 of the Civil Code. which was
directly involved 10 that case. and that de-
termination is strongly to the effect that
the court has no power to enJoln IN such
case. This action is therefore premature,
the demurrer is sustained, the order 10
show cause discharged, the preliminary
restraining order dissolved and the action
dismissed"
Under this decision, while the Supervi-
sOrs may go ahead and open bids. and
grant the franchise there will be tech
Dcal defect that would tend to make such
action illegal, it being held by Judge Heb
bard that proceedings are defective in re-
spect to time that bids were advertised for
The legal time bids must be advertised Is
thirty DAYS, while the bids for the fran
chiSe involved in the proceedings were
only advertised twenty-eight days.

''The proceedings in the Board of Su-

was no disposition on the part of the men,

not do it.
