AUGUSTA SOUTHERN.
The Litigation at Augusta Ends In
Only a Partial victory.

Augusta. &c. June 12.-When President
r. n. Mitchell built his narrow gauge
railroad 20 SandersviIle President Raoul
Of the Central granted the baby road a
right-Of-way over the Central into Au-
gusta. The narrow gauge used one rail Of
the Central track and laid another rail be-
tween the two. making its narrow gauge
track in this way over about 1000 yards
OF the Centrars road bed. Recently the
narrow gauge has changed owners, has
become the Augusta Southern railroad.
and is about TO broaden its gauge and ex-
tend its lines, so as to become consider
able competitor Of the Central. Under this
state OF things the Central sought to re-
woke the use Of its tracks by the Southern
railroad. to entoin the latter from broad
ening its gauge and also from paralleling
the Central road into Augusta. The case
was recently argued before Judge Gallo
way. who to-day rendered his decision, the
main points Of which are as follows: That
the prayer of the plaintiff that the Au-
gusta Southern Railroad Company be en-
joined from establishing, using or operat-
ing their road standard
gauge road be and the same is hereby
refused, since the operating of said road
as a standard guage road will not violate
or conflict with the chartered rights OF
tile plaintiff
THE Augusta Southern railroad has
the right TO continue to use and occupy
said right Of way with its present narrow
gauge tracks until the happening of the
condition named in said permission, or
the termination Of the lease of the Au-
gusta and SAY annah Railroad Company
by the Central Railroad and Banking
Company.
But 1 cannot see how this permission
or license was broader or extended fur
Their than that accepted and acted upon
by the Augusta, Gibson and Sanders
Vile Railroad Company a the time. which
was to build and operate a narrow gauge
railroad a railroad company might
readily give up part of its eight Of way to
a narrow gauge road without demanding
gratuitous TO a standard gauge road, one
likely to become an actual competitor.
Such seems to be this case.
The Augusta Southern Railroad Com
pany is enjoined from building or oper-
ating broad or standard guage road upon
the right of way of the Augusta and Sa-
vannah Railroad Company until 1t has OBJ
tanned title to the same by contract or
lease, or purchase, or has obtained license
permission or consent for such use. from
the Augusta and Savannah Railroad Com
pany, and such other persons and corpora
tons as may have an interest in said right
way by proceedings TO condemn the same
as provided by the statutes"
The decision is partly in favor of both
sides and is a legal dOg-fall. The case
will be appealed a once for review by the
supreme court

Atlanta. Ga. June 12.-J. f. Fulton. pro-
rnoter Of the American Amusement Com
pany which went up the spout several days
ago. before it was fairly launched upon
the sea of public approval. thereby bring
ing upon him a multitude of criminal
prosecutions. was arraigned in a Justices
court to-day for a preliminary hearing.
The case was given an unexpected turn.
however. by the appearance of United
States Marshal Dunlap. with a federal
warrant for the unfortunate Snowman, the
justice court prosecution being dismissed.
These charges were cheating and swim
ding the parties backing them up being
Fulton's boarding house mistress, and the
actors he engaged for his proposed open
air shows to be given here and elsewhere
in the south. Among these latter is Miss
Annie E. Sylvester a trick bicycle rider
who conceived the idea Of prosecuting the
defaulting manager in the United States
court as a surer guarante of his punish
ment. Accordingly she had sworn out
warrant before United States Commission
er Broyles, alleging that in using a flaming
letter head Fulton had induced her and
others OF the profession to come on TO At
lanta. When she arrived she found
the catchy" letter head was
fake and. therefore Fulton alleged
10 have been guilty of violating the pos
tai laws. The lady cyclist induced the
other complaining ones to join her in with
drawing the state warrants and the case
was carried before United States Commits
sioner Broyles. United States District At
torney James appeared to prosecute Full
ton. A large number of witnesses, includ-
ing the actors and actresses of the de-
funct show. were introduced as witnesses.
and tomorrow their examination will be
continued.
Fulton, who was accompanied in court
by his wife, a handsome, well-dressed
blonde, and two children, claims that il
is a case of bad luck; that he has lost all
and can't pay. But on the other hand.
the district attorney claims that the show,
man, who is also known as Edwards
Williams. as well as Fulton, is consum-
mate rascal, being the same man who only
recently played some New Orleans people
for FISH to the tune of $1,000 on a baby
show, as well as having operated swim
dies in other southern cities. They think
he is a notorious sharper and are making
a determined fight to put period to his
career.

Her Children and Gone to Some

London. July 5.-A correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press writes: There
have been many stories that Oscar
Wilde has lost his mind in prison. The
truth Is that he is still sane. but in a
dazed. trance-like condition, from
which he Is seldom reused. The second
day Of mis- imprisonmnt he was put up
on the treadmill. Mechanically he trod
the steps for Is minutes, took the five
minutes rest and began again. In the
second IL minutes he threw UP his
arms. screamed and then fell In a
swoon. The prison surgeon said his
heart was in such a condition 1t would
be dangerous ITO put him on the wheel
again. SO Wilde Is allowed TO sit in his
cell. They throw In a quantity of oak
um every morning. but he need not
pick it unless he wishes to do so. When
the chaplain, Rev. Mr.. stockton, first
entered the cell. Wilde refused to listen
TO him.
Wilde still has friends who believe in
his innocence. but his wife Is not one OF
these. She has taken another name and
with the children has gone away to
some quiet place on the continent.
