HE AND SHE.


Somerville Journal.
His look is sad; upon his brow
Wrinkles Of anxious care
Are furrowed deep, as If his grief
Was all too great to bear.
His step is slow, his head is bent,
AS If his joys were few.
Has he been crossed in love? Oh, mol
His coal bil's overdue.
And shc-how melancholy is
Her mien this afternoon,
AS If she felt she had been born
Too late, or else too soon!
Can it be unrequited love
on her has cast its blight?
oh, no! She's wishing she had skipped
Those devilled crabs last night.

CASE CoNTrNUED.-The case of Har-
nv Myers, arrested Wednesday for
making what are known as flying
shifts" with freight train of the
Washington Southern Railway Com.
pany on Fayette street, was called in
The Police Court this morning. Col. F.
L. Smith appeared for the railway
company. Mr.. McKeever, the super
intendent of the company, was also
present. Col. Smith moved that the
warrant be quashed on the ground that
the accused violated no law in moving
trains in the manner charged. The
motion was overrnled, the court hold
ing that running cars through city
with no locomotive attached was dan
gerous to life and limb, and while no
special law forbidding the same could
be quoted, the spirit of others, designed
for public safety, could-e. g., the one
requiring locomotives to ring balls
while in motion within the city limits;
that no such notice OF approach is made
when strings of freight cars are allowed
to run for squares with no engine at
tached, and, as has been charged, con-
trolled by but one OR two brakemeD.
1t was suggested by the court to Col.
Smith and Mr.. McKeeyer that should
the railway company notify its en-
ployes to discontinue the practice COM
planned of the warrant would be quash-
cd. This they would not assent to and
the case was postponed by Justice
Thompson, before whom it came, for
two weeks.
