The pipes that run from the con.

comes from the freezing rooms it is
so cold that unless this precaution is
taken it would consolidate into one
enormous mass that would be impossi

pan ice is so timed that four men are
kept busy taking out full pans, re-
placing them with empty ones to be
reiillcd automatically, and turning tho

The Fight Of tn, Horse and Tic lie,

Into n neighbours orchard, where u
horse was feeding, an old hen led her
flock OF chicks. Just what began tho
fuss the gentleman did not see. but
probably the chicks made themselves
too familiar with the horses feet. Tho
horse began kicking at the old hen
with all its might, aud with the pros
poet that If he could only hit her once.

hen was something wonderful. Tho

RAILROADS AT OUTS.
Two Withdraw From the Southern
Passenger Association.

Atlanta, Ga, March 12.-The Southern
States Passenger Association is getting
into deep water again. and there is consid-
cradle speculation in railroad circles here
as to the probability of its future exist
ence.
The Western and Atlantic has with
drawn from the association, and the Geor-
gia road has also practically done so.
The Sea Board Air Line never has signed
the agreement.
The Western and Atlantic and Seaboard
companies are particularly sore on the
passenger association. They say that they
are taxed to maintain an association
which gave them no protection. The Of
ficials of these companies claim that the
southern Is allowed to sell tickets from
Atlanta to the east by the way of Chat
tanooga and that the Western and At
lantic is not allowed to sell tickets from
Chattanooga, Dalton and other points on
the line, south Of Chattanooga, to the
east over their eastern connection, the
Sea Board Air Line.
The Georgia railroad people wish to
withdraw because they do not care to con-
tribute to an association from which, they
say, they derive no benefit.
In speaking of the withdrawal of that
line, a prominent Western and Atlantic
Official said to-day: I'VE could not afford
to contribute to the support of any con-
Germ that laid claim to protect US and did
not do so. The Southern has been favored
by the association i'm making rates in the
east, and we have been left out In the
cold. We decided II were better to with
draw and run our own business Under
the agreement we had to give the associa-
ITO SIX months notice of our intention to
Withdraw. The six months expires on

BERTHE nROUTHERs' AssAILANTs.
The Conviction of the Nine Negroes
Almost Certain.

Charleston, S. c., March 12.-The dis
pensary cases gave place in the sessions
court to-day to most sensational trial
the trial of nine negroes accused of COM
hitting a criminal assault on the person
of a disreputable white woman by the
name of BERTHE Brouthers, in the early
part of February. The details of the testi-
mony given in the court house to-day
are too disgusting to be introduced in
print.
BERTHE Brouthers is a woman belonging
to one of the disorderly houses in the
city one night in February she went to
a restaurant on Market street and took
supper. on her way home she was set
upon by the nine negroes, who were on
trial to-day. Her jewelry and clothing were
torn from her and she was severely beaten.
She was then dragged into "A dark alley
way and outraged. She was rescued from
her assailants by a passing negro, who
heard her cries for assistance. Trouble
was found in securing a jury for the
trial The testimony was all taken, ana
Judge Bennitt will charge the jury to-
morrow morning. The testimony against
the accused men is most damaging and a
verdict OF guilty Is confidently expected.

The Fight Over the Renewal of Its
Franchise Growing Lively.

Augusta Ga, March 12.-The fight over
the Augusta and Summerville railroad
grows more complicated 1t seems that
the old company without waiting for the
city to renew its charter has made appli-
cation TO the secretary of state and Sc
cured a renewal for thirty wears under
the general law. 1t then asked to be nut
in the hands of a receiver to preserve its
status quo, and claims that its renewed
charter extends all the rights and fran
chises that the city is advertising for sale.
It seeks to enjoin the city from selling
these rights and franchises to anybody
and makes all the railroads parties defen-
dant and enjoins any one of them from
purchasing the franchises advertised for
sale. Judge Galloway leaves this proper
ty in the hands of it's present officers. di-

sets March 20 as the date of the haarinn.
