|. RAILROADS. sHARP PRAcTIcE.
Western Union Co. Ordered TO Pro-
duce Certain TeIeErams.

Chattanooga. Tens. Aug. lG.-In the
case of the Terminal railway VS.. the Gin
cinnau Southern railway. heard to-day
in the federal court. the Western Union
Telegraph Company was forced by pro-
cess Of law 10 bring into court the tel
egrams that passed between Receiver
FELTON,. then at Monmouth Beach. N. j..
and Manager Carroll. both of the de-
fendant company. and bearing directly
on the case In hand.
The Nashville. Chattanooga and st.
Louis railroad, on Aug. 3, leased a local
freight line, known as the Terminal
Railway Company, and valuable as af-
fOrding access to many OF this cttys
largest manufactures. The lease not
being effective till Aug. Is, the Cinein-
natl Southern railroad, long before day
Sunday morning, Aug. 4, having made
full preparations ahead, stole into the
city and, almost before their ruse was
detected, had crossed the tracks of the
Terminal Company with switches. etc.
replacing those OF latter company in the
yards Of several big manufacturing con-
Germs.
The Southern holds by purchase the
switch line. the Belt railway, paralelllng
the others for a large part of its course
giving the latter the right of way into
the coveted factories. Manager Dunn, ad-
vising with his general manager by wire,
Obeyed the courts summons. The tele-
grams produced fairly stampeded the at
torneys for the Cincinnati Southern, who
had not dreamed OF such a denier re-
course being possible.
The case, which is being heard before
United States District Judge Clark, will
be decided tomorrow.
The switch line Is now under control,
temporarily. of the Nashville, Chattaaoo-
ga and st. Louis company. A railroad
fight Of big proportions is not an improb-
ability between the Nashville, Chattanoo-
ga and st. Louis and the Louisville and
Nashville on the one hand and the Queen
and Crescent and Southern railway sys-
TEN on the other as both have points Of
vantage the other Is jealous of.

physically in a condition to Withstand the
attack Of the disease. All the colonist
have been vaccinated and have the best
of food and medical attention and it is
believed that the disease has been checked

A Complimentary Social.

A quiet social was arranged for and
carried out by the ladies of the Baptist
church at the home of Mrs. G. Il.
Hull on Cascade avenue last Tuesday
evening. The affair was planned
with view to bring together the
friends of Mrs. Cressey that they
might present to her token of their
regard and esteem for the precious
services which her accomplishments
and goodwill had rendered to the
church and its friends. The gift was
an elegant silver tea set engraved and
gold lined-a very worthy and appro-
pirate compliment. In a few words
of presentation Edwin Reed reviewed
the pleasant associations which had
endeared Mrs. Cressey to the church
and its friends and had left a lasting
impression of her christian character,
he friendliness and her hospitality
on the hearts of the community. In
accepting the gift Mrs. Cressey re-
sponded with the modesty and deep
sincerity which is characteristic of
her, and gracefully expressed her
gratitude and tender remem brances
for all her friends who had given her
this expression of regard.
A generous supply of dainty food
was served in the DINING room and
the affair proved to be very pleasant
gathering.
