 The Alabama Midland railroad will re- build the trestles and approaches to the bridge over CooSa river. Both sides will be rebuilt.

Opponents in Battle and Their Chang
ing Points of View.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
Time is wonderful mellower. Hearts of
flint have been softened by the rolling of
years since 1865. 1 meet every day a pro-
fessional gentleman who served four years
in the war, who had a brother killed at
Port Hudson. He heard of the death while
on the way to Gettysburg In that battle
he fought like a tiger, greatly surprising
himself, though he had not finched in any
of the hard fights he had gone through.
When asked why he had exhibited such
savagery his reply was: "They killed my
brother" There was much bitterness in
his heart for ten years after the war, but
time has mellowed him.
1 heard this savage at Gettysburg thirty
two years ago say, in talking about the re-
turn of good feeling between the north and
south, that were he at the grave of his
brother on the field of Port Hudson, ready to
scatter blossoms over the precious dust, and
someone were to point out the resting place
Of the artilleryman who pulled the LANYARD

Induced him to do that at any time within
ten years of the close of the war? Nothing.

they thought was right; both faced death
and received it for the faith that was in
them. Both weret American soldiers" said

NEW YORK, November 15.-The engage

OCEAN CABLE RATES.
Rapid ChcapeninS of Messages Since
the First Cable WIS Laid.

From the New York sui! ii
Oceanic cable rates have been greatly re-
duced since the transatlantic cable first be-
came success, but cabling is still in large
part business necessity or luxury Of
grief. Cable rates to London in 1866 were
S10O for twenty words! They were reduced
in the same year to $50 for twenty words
Next year they became $26.25: in 1885,
s16.41; in 1870. SIS; la 1871, $40. Then, in
1872, came the word rate of 81. 1t rose to
$50 in 1873, and has since been at various
times, according to the conditions of COM
petition. 81. 50 cents, 70 cents, and, for a
while in 1886. II cents. The present rate
of % cents was fixed in September, 1885
Gable rates to places on the west coast of
Africa run high as s266 per word. The
rate to the island of Mauritius, when the
Red sea cable is interrupted, and messages
cannot be delivered by way of Alden, is
S4.14 The rate to New Caledonia is $2.51
and other Australasian rates vary between
Sl.2I and 1913, according to the route en-
ployed.
The cable company usually quotes rates
to European countries without naming
places, unless, perhaps. the capital. OF
course. rates may be much higher than the
quoted tariff when obscure interior places
are TO be reached. The telegraph compa-
MES join in publishing at Berne volume
that processes to give a list of all the tele-
graphic stations on earth. The number is
between $1,000 and 10000. The officers of
the Geographic companies hazard the guess
that the cable would not be freely used for
social purposes. even if the rate to London
were as low as 10 cents a word. One
reason is that while 1t is a simple matter
to telegraph from New York to we'll
known address in London, it is more diff
cult thing to be sure of addresses in pro-
vincial towns. and especially in continent
tai places, where foreign language comes
in to increase the liability of confusion.
The expense of correcting a mistake
when telegraphing upon land lines within
the territory Of a single country is compar-
atively small, and may be done with reas-
enable promptness, but when it comes to
correcting a blunder in a trifiing cable
message of purely local significance, the

THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE
Decision Today in the lexington Railroad
Crossing Case
Counsel Claimed That the Street
Crossings in EckingtOn BeIonr
to the Corporation.

Following the passing of Judge Kimbalrs
early morning procession in the Police
Court today came Superintendent William
Alvey Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company to answer the grade crossing
| charges filed against him several days ago.
after the narrow escape Of citizens passing
over the lexington crossing.
The charge in the case was brought by
Inspector Bradshaw of the District engi-
neer department. who alleged under the
act Of August %, 1871, that on the 4th Of
November, 1895, at the crossing Of R street
with the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. a certain public street
crossing of the railroad. did then and there
neglect and fail to station in the day time
person at said crossing. with a red flag,
to give warning of the approach of loco
motives, engines and railroad cars
Mr.. George E. Hamilton, counsel for the
railroad company, said he thought trial
of the case would be avoided by present
ing q statement of the facts and agreeing
upon them.
He said that in the first place the law
would not and could not apply to Mr.. AL
vey. for the law itself mentions the per-
sons whom the law is intended to reach,
and certainly the defendant Is neither of
the persons mentioned. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. he said. owns in
fee simple strip of 100 feet and the Eek
ington subdivision and streets have never
railroad company. Therefore, he said,
there is no public street or right of way
across the tracks.
Judge Kimball inquired whether the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company had OBJ
tanned its land by condemnation or other
visa
Mr.. Hamilton said it was obtained by both
condemnation and purchase.
Mr.. Pugh said that the property is not
fenced, and there being an opening and
crossing, this law certainly compels them
to have a Waterman with a flag on duty
there for the protection of the public.
In answer to the courts inquiries Mr.
Hamilton said that, the dangerous grade
tracks and crossings are used as public high
ways by the citizens, and it would take an
army of men to prevent 1t.
Judge kimball said that If the railroad
company by its acts holds out to the public
that this is a public highway, the question
IN the courts mind Is whether or not the
company Is responsible under this act.
The Company is Responsible.
Judge kfmball listened to further argsI-
ment by counsel. and then held that the
law applies to this particular case. Just SO
long as the company permits the use of the
read as public highway, there will! have
to be Waterman kept there to protect the
public from the dangers of railroad trains
The law, the judge said, was passed for the
protection of pedestrians, and so far as he
was concerned. he had no doubt about the
application Of the law

Both Were Injured.

This afternoon between 1 and O'Clock
Police Officer Posey of the third precinct
and Major Newton, an intoxicated colored
man. had a desperate struggle at the corner
of 18th and L streets northwest, and now
the colored man is in the hospital, while the
policeman, who sustained a fracture Of the
collarbone. Is under medical treatment at
home.
A telephone message sent over the ex-
change wire announced that some person
had been shot, and the patrol wagon with
a number of officers was hurried to the
scene.
The officers in the wagon found 1t neces-
sary to care for Officer Posey as well as
for Newton, his prisoner.
The officers collar bone was probably
fractured, besides other injuries he had
sustained.
