An Appeal for New Trial 10 BE
Made to the supreme Court.
Atlanta. Ga, Jan. S1.-Judge Clark to-
day refused to grant a new trial in the
case of the state against Alexander Carr,
convicted of murder and sentenced to
hang Feb. s. The principal ground for 4
new trial was the charge that the men,
bers of the jury read papers containing
reports of the trial. Afidavits to this
effect were furnished by a waiter who
threw the papers to the jurors over the
transom while they were confined in their
rooms.
The state presented affldavts from the
jurors alleging that they had read the
papers, but that they had not read the
reports of the trial which were pub
lshed. The case will be taken to the
supreme court.
The hearing of the application of Willie
Myers for a new trial IN his case was
postponed until next Saturday. The APP
plication is based on the ground that the
verdict is contrary to the law and the
evidence, and that one of the jurors,
named Huff, had expressed the opinion
that Myers was guilty before the trial

FILTER COMPANY FAILS.
The City of New Orleans Not Re-

The City of New Orleans Not Re-
spOnsibIe for Its Collapse.
New Orleans. La, Jan. s1.-The dis
patches from New York, announcing the
appointment of a receiver for the New
York Filter Company, have a tendency to
reflect unjustly on the credit of this CITY.
. Some years ago the New Orleans Water
Works Company, a private corporation,
undertook to make arrangements for the
filtering of water in its mains, to be fur
nished to Offices and homes throughout
the city. There was general public inter.
est in the project. Nearly a year ago the
public was very much disappointed 10
learn. from published announcements, that
the experiments had been a failure. When
the experiments proved unsatisfactory
the water works company declined to ac-
cept the apparatus or carry out the con-
tract. Last December suit was brought
against the water works company for $134-
800, and the suit is still pending in the civil
court.
The New York concern, which has just
failed, has no claim against the city and
ats suit is solely against the water works
company in which the city has no direct
interest. No supply of water has been
furnished the city, and the city has not
defaulted in payment.

THE WEATHER AND THE RIVER
Last night was next to the coolest Of
the winter, in some places the mercury
in the thermometer being at So above
zero, and at others 6, Z and s. Early
this morning the river presented one
unbroken sheet of ice from shore to
shore. About o'clock, however, the
Norfolk steamer had broken track
through it. She was followed up the
river by the Mattano. Later the
steamer Harry Randall started down.
The Washington ferry boats have made
trips during the day, thus keeping the
channel between the two cities open.
Should the temperature remain at the
present stage twenty-four hours longer
navigation would doubtless be closed.

was made yesterday, does not mean
that that factory will be closed indefi-

property and soon resume operations
there. This will be learned with pleas
ure by those who have had employment
in New Alexandria. The general be-
lief is that the trouble which caused the
property to be advertised for sale was
brought about by disagreements among
the different interests in the company.

become so annoying to some SUBJ

threatened to make public the names
of their tormentors. But short time

that his paper be discontinued for a
week because neighbor was
such persistent borrower. Numerous
instances are known where the GA
zETTE, left at stores, is borrowed two
or three times before the subscriber has
a chance to read it.
