United States District Judge Riner has
decided the big suit brought by the gov
eminent against the Union Pacific Rail-

paid for the land taken, nor for the i'm
p-ovements on the property, and the suit
was brought to compel the payment of
the price of the land and Improvements
which were fixed at $4,000.

has sustained.
The case will be taken to the United

ONE MORE UGLY SPOT.
Plan to Put a Hideous, Smoky,
Electric Light Plant
IN THE STATE HOUSE SQUARE.

This Was Senator Jumpers Brilliant
Idea Which Was Fortunately, Re
ceive0 With DIsfavOr by the sena-
tors.
Senator Jumper of Usage county, had
a bill in relation to the state house which
the senate killed last night on third read
ing. It was Senator Jumpers idea to
appropriate $1,000 for the purpose Of
erecting an electric lighting aud steam
heating plant in one corner of the capt.
tol square, like the arsenal By doing
this he said the executive council would
be at the mercy of no corporation, and
there would be no disgraceful competi-
ton for the lighting contract as there
was at the opening of the session. Sen
ator Dennison said 81 900 wouldn't build
much of a plant-in fact would not buy
the machinery necessary, and told how
the engineers and other help would cost
more than the gas bill He wanted
good lighting plant or none at all
Senator Helm favored this appropria-
ton, saying Topeka wouldn't get any
thing for the state house unless several
senators have changed their minds in
the past week
1t is extremely fortunate that the bill
didn't pass State house square is al

buildings, and to put an ugly smoky
electric light factory in one corner of the
grounds would just about wreck all fur
Their prospects of a picturesque park
there. A preserving works or pork
packery would be little worse than an
electric light plant If the state house
requires an electric light plant why not
put it in the basement?

CONDUCTOR NELSON'S SLAYER.
II Is Believed That He Is Now I'm the
NaIdosta Jail.

Valdosta, Ca. March 12.-There is no
doubt now but that Tom johnson the
murderer of Conductor Nelson of the
Brunswick and Western road last sum
mer, is the negro now confined in the
county jail at this place. His identity
was pretty well established Sunday, and
on yesterday ne was Identified by a negro
man who worked at turpentine still
with him in Colquitt county. The negro
fully described the prisoner before he
went to the jail The chief of police then
carried the negro up to the cell, and as
soon as he saw the prisoner. he exclaimed
why, hello. Tom, don't you know me?'
Il believe | do was the prisoners re-
ply. After the chief and the negro left
the jail the supposed murderer called
for the negro to come back to him, but
the negro would not go. 1t is believed
that Johnson will confess the killing of
the conductor soon.
His capture was a pretty piece of work.
and his captors will get $500 for him if he
is the right negro. The authorities viii
have to carry him to the scene of the
crime, or deliver him to the sheriff of
Glynn or Wayne county before the reward
will be paid. There is some fear that vio~
lence may be attempted as it is under
stood that the feeling against the murder
er is high in that part of the state
There have been a number of robberies
in this city of late, and the police have
succeeded in bagging some important
game in that line. On yesterday Charlie
Green, one of the high-hyers among the
negroes, was arrested for stealing a whole
bank of potatoes, a sack Of flour. a barrel
of flour, a sack of peanuts and number
of other articles from a resident on the
edge of town. The negro entered the
house at night and succeeded In making
several different hauls before he was
caught.

Ashley was caught stealing hay, oats,
etc, from Ashley's warehouse. An inves-
tigation showed that he had been in
habit of thieving from there for some
time. The negro was a partner in several
small stores in town, and was running a
farm. 1t Is believed that he supplied nearly
all of these from Ashley's warehouse. He
was a trusted negro, and his arrest on
several different warrants caused a SEN
sation among the negroes.

A BACHELORS LITTLE RUsE.
He Feigns an Attempt at Suicide on
Account of Love Affair.

Waycross, Ca. March 12.-Lovesick and
worth several thousands, and who IS re-
garded as inclined to be stingy, decided
upon course of strategy to win the
heart and hand of a young lady who had
Tilted him for a more favored beau, but
the strategem did not appear.
His plan was confded to a young man,
who saw in it a huge joke on the unso-
phsticated bachelor. The bachelor went
to his room last night, and after placing
an empty laudanum bottle on a table.
near his bed. he retired. The house
hold was aroused by a terrible noise in
his room, and several of it's members
went to investigate the cause of his
trouble. The disconsolate bachelor APP
peared to be in the agony of death. His
breathing was quick and irregular, and
he was in commissions The young man
who had been made a confident in the
bachelors little game ran quickly for a
physician. The physician was put on to
the game, and when he came to the bach
elor's side he looked very gravely at his
patient and remarked that it was a seri-
Gus case, and that death would result in
a few minutes. This information fright
ened the bachelor, who had been affecting
attempted suicide to prove his devotion
to the lady he loved. He came to him
self, and asked the amount of the physi-
clans fee. He was told that the usual
fee in cases of that kind was $50, but he
would have to pay only $25. The joke
had now turned on the bachelor, and he
was overcome at the thought of having
to pay such a sum for his folly. The
physician was only joking, as he knew
that his patient was well and hearty The
bachelor, who still thinks he owes the
physician $25, is said to be thinking serl-
ously of ending his existence to escape
paying the bill. The young lady in ques-
ton will marry the bachelors rival in
a few days, and it will be a severe shock
to the bachelor, who is now ignorant of
this fact, and still hopes to win in his
first love venture.

WARES ONLY LYNCHING.
The story of Sensational Criminal
Affair RetOId.

Waycross,, Ca, March IA review of
the history of crime in Ware county for
the past four years discloses only one
instance of a sensational character. the
lynching of Jack Chambers two. years
ago.
Chambers had outraged a married lady
at Hoboken, Ga, and escaped to Florida,
where he said he had committed a similar
crime He fed to safety after each crime,
and began to feel secure. He came to
Ware county two years ago. and was en-
ployed on a farm two years ago, near
Waresboro. He told several negroes
there that he had outraged two white
women, one at Hoboken, Ga, and another
in Florida, and he boosted of his eX-
ploits He then attempted to assault
two little white girls, who were return
ing home from school. white man
came along and Chambers fled without
having committed the crime.
A mob was quickly organized and some
Hobokenites were at its head. The hus-
band of the outraged woman at Ho-
boken, it was said, captained the party,
and Chambers was overtaken on the
road between Waycross and Waresboro.
Chambers confessed his crime, and he
was bound in chains to a pine tree, and
his body was filled with bullets.
