A BLACK LIST CASE
Decided Against the Plaintiff and l. fayor of the Railroad Company-0ther
 Court News.

B. C. Petit vs. the Alabama Great Southern railroad. The judge yesterday afternoon gave the general charge for the defendant. This virtually decides the case in favor of the defndant. The Petit case is one of the black list"' cases which have attracted considerable attention.
 The cases grew out of an alleged pub lfcatfon of the names of the railroad em- pIoyes who quit work during the labor troubles of 1894. The plaintiffs in these cases claim that they have not been able in many instances to obtain work at their trade since their names were so circulat- ed by the Alabama Great Southern Rail- road company.
 It is very probable that the Petit case will be appealed to the supreme court. Other cases disposed of were as fol- lows:
 David J. Fox vs. Peoples Savings Bank and Trust company: dismissed. Blumenfeld & Fred Vs. J. w. Norment; dismissed.
 William Jackson vS. J. w. Worthlng- nton; Judgment for $53.
 R. R. Compress company vs. Baltimore Waite company; dismissed.

MT. Alfred Sexton, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of the state, died at his home in Eutaw last Monday morning.

Since Governor Oates has declared 1t still to be his intention not to be a can didate for renomination. the Birming- ham News favors letting Capt. Joseph F.

Card to the Public.

The success which has thus far
marked the advent of the Postal Tele-
graph in this city is most gratifying to
the management and shows a lively
appreciation of our efforts to give the
public first class service. I beg to take
this method of expressing thanks to our
patrons who have responded so gener-
ously to our invitation to assist in sus-
tanning the new enterprise. 1t is an
evidence that Kenosha is not in rut,
but up to date in encouraging and fos-
tering legitimate competition whenever
it comes to her with the proper creden-
tials.
The Postal company has earned a
world wide reputation in its jealous
efforts to make the telegraph service
just what it should be, and it only asks
in return that the public should duly
appreciate such efforts and bring to it
such patronage as will make it a per-
manent success. Present indications
certainly point very significantly to
that end. Very respectfully,
81. D. SLoAT, Manager.

A BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
To Have Control of the New Water
Works.
(From Thursdays Daily.l

(FrOm thursdays Da1ly)
An ordinance was introduced at last
nights council meeting which, when
passed, will place the control of the
water works in the hands of three dis
interested free-holders and tax payers
of this city. The three commissioners
will be chosen at the next meeting OF
the council and will take hold of the
works at once. These commissioners
will hold office for a period of three
years, one for one year, two for two
years, and one for three years and until
their successors are elected. The
board will have complete control of the
affairs of the system and all work per-
tanning to it. The city engineer will
be eX-oficio superintendent of the
work, subject at all times to the orders
Of the board. Much speculation is
being INDUCED in as to who the COM
missioners will be, but, it can safely be
said that if the men be chosen whom
the council at the present time are con-
sidering for the Office, the plant will be
in the hands of competent men; men
who have made a success of their bust
ness and will undoubtedly manage the
affairs of the system in a business way.

HUEFFER rs OUT.
Waves His Preliminary Examination and
is Released.
(From Thursdays Daily y

Attorney Edward Gray, of Chicago,
accompanied by District Attorney
Buckmaster, appeared before Justice
Slater this afternoon, and on behalf of
his client, Bernard Hueffer, one Of the
arrested suspects in the arson case,
waived the preliminary examination
and asked for his release on his own
recognizance. Hueffer was arrested in
Chicago short time ago by Detective
Cowie and brought here for hearing
Hueffer is the man, it is believed, who
was first approached by Rosenow and
shown the plan of the buildings and
the way in which the work was to be
done. He also alleges that Perren had
made him an offer to do the JOB but
that he refused to do the work or be
connected with the scheme at all. 1t is
believed that he knows more of the
affairs and will tell all at the time of
the trial.

The Olmstead will case. now pending in

day, at the earliest. at the opening of to-

juror was the reason.
Il am Informed that one of the members
of the jury has scarlet fever in his home,"
announced Judge Bradley.
The juror was John B. Buckley, of No.

to court as usual this morning, but did not
enter the jury box. Though he has been
in the same house with his sick child, he
has not been in her room. and up TO the

panel or the attendants on the trial, the
Judge announced.
There is apparently no way to get new

less, before the case can so on said MIR.

sci. Il wouId suggest that the jury be
respited until next Monday morning"
Cant we empanci another juror? asked
Mr. R. Ross Perry, Mrs. Webb's lawyer,
ut will take far longer than until next
Monday to make il safe for Mr.. Buckley
to return. If the child has scarlet fever
it will be at least three weeks before he
can come back"
Judge Wilson followed the suggestion
of his associate, Mr.. Davis, and said the
Jury should be respted until Monday, for
it might be learned then that the disease
was not scarlet fever. Other arrange
ments could be made then, he said.
Judge Bradley agreed with him., and the
case was postponed. The other panel of
the Jury had already been excused till
Monday, and the court adjourned.

DOUBTS VlRGINlA'S TITLE
Assessor Trimble's Opinion Of Alex
andria County's Status.
Indorses The Times Position and Su&-
Gcsts the Invalldity OF the Act
of RetrOcessiOn.

The position taken by The Times in favor
! OF a movement for the recovery of Alex
andria county from the State of Virginia
and its restoration as q part of the ten
mile square, originally dedicated TO the
United States as the District of Columbia,
is heartily approved by Assessor Matthew
TTimble.
He said yesterday that in his Judgment
The Times is ION the right track" and
that investigation by competent legal tai
ent would demonstrate the inyalidity of
yirginia's title.
When the question OF Jackson City's i'm
morality was most prominently before the
public, and a meeting Of the Board OF Trade
was III prospect 10 consider that prolific
subject, Mr.. Trimblc addressed letter
TO President Warner, in anticipation OF the
discussion, in which he advanced views
IN exact accord with The Times position
then and now.
That letter is reproduced in part, as fol-
lows:
THE moral publication of our suburban
surroundings, and part icularly in that
portion OF the original 'teHmile square,,
in which the now notorious so-called Jack
son City is located, is well worthy the
serious consideration of the citizens OF
this district. What action should be- taken
city and the entire county OF Alexandria
where II was officially announced by procl;i-
nation of President Washington, as part
OF the 'ten-inile square selected as the
permanent seat of government ofthe United
States
. I'm my opinion, so soon as that prOclama-
tion was Issued, the power OF Congress to
change the permanent seat OF govern
ment ceased, and nothing short of the vote
of the States eau accomplish that result
at is true that under an act of July
10, 1916, Congress voted to retrocede TO
Virginia that portion of the ten mile
square south of the Potomac. If Congress
had that power in 1916, il has the same
power in 1895, and can therefore retro
cedc to Maryland that portion which we
now call the District of Columbia, and il
that power should he conceded, it then be-
comes possible to have the permanent seat
of government changed every four years.
"Our next Congress, for instance. could
remove the National Capital to Bladens
burg, in Maryland. or to jackson City.
in Alexandria county, virginia, in near
proximity; or, perhaps in the near future,
Congress might decide to locate the per
manent seat of government in the Hawaii
an Islands, provided. of course, that annex
alton and Statehood preceded.
at is not reasonable to suppose that it
was ever intended to give Congress any
such power, and believe no such power
was ever granted or intended under our
constitution"
