USE OF AUGUSTUS STREETS.
A Decision Against the Augusta and
summerViIIe Railroad.


Augusta, Ga, Sept 28.-Judge Galloway
filed his decision to-day in a case Of great
importance to Augusta and the railroads
centering here. Thirty years ago the Au-
gusta and Summervile railroad was char
tered and was given valuable privileges
by the city of Augusta in the exclusive
use Of streets and the transfer of pas
sengers and freight between other rail-
roads. This charter expired March II,
1895, but the company had before that
date renewed 1t under the general law.
The city of Augusta claimed the COM
pany could not perpetuate these fran
chises against the will Of the city by its
common law renewal of the charter, AMI
advertised the franchise for sale Tho
company enjoined the city, and the city,
with the concurrence Of the other rail-
roads, enjoined the Augusta and Sum
merville railroad from exercising It's for
mer franchises under its renewed charter.
Judge Cailaways decision is very 70,
luminous, but the two points of primer
pal general interest are:
l. That while the renewed charter ls
valid, the Augusta and Summerville, as
a renewed corporation, has no right or
authority to continue to maintain its
tracks, operate its locomotives or other
wise use any of its privileges or fran
chises after March 20 1896, without the
consent of the city council In other
words, the corporation must stand under
its renewal as If it were a new corpora
ton requiring municipal consent to its
eXistance.
2. That it is now with the city council
OF Augusta alone to determine who can
use the streets and upon what condition,
and all injunctions interfering in this mat
ter are discharged, the city being left free
to control the streets, make such dispo,
sition of them for railroad purposes or
otherwise as it may deem best and as
1t may have proper legislative authority
to do.

URALDE county, Texas, was devastated
last week by a great prairie fire. 1t started
in a hay field six miles from Sabinal Station
and burned up nine miles of prairie and
other land in the mountains, The inhabi-
tants of the surrounding country engaged in
fighting it. Fifty men from Sabinal helped
fight the flames. Hay presses and farm
machinery of all kinds we're destroyed, and
residences were saved only by blowing
around them.
A CYCLONE struck Upton Lake Park, near
great damage. To add TO the destruction a
cloudburst occurred and many persons, who
were out rowing on the lake, were rescued
with difficulty. At one time it looked as
though the entire humble of pleasure
seekers would be killed. Nearly every
woman and many men fell upon their knees
and prayed until the danger was over.
Trains did not attempt to run while the
storm ragged and there was no shelter for
the people. The loss cannot be estimated.
For the first time the flag of the United
States was thrown to the breeze last Satur-
day with forty-fve stars on its blue field,

sisterhood of states. General orders issued
by the wal and navy departments nave pre-
pared the way for the change, and for
several months past the ~t1ag-makers nave
been busy in placing a new star on the flags
in stock. From economical considerations,
the old army flags will not be retired at
once, but will be replaced only as they are
worn out in service by the new ensigns.
In the case of the naval flags the change
was more easily made, for all of these flags
are made at the New York and Mare Island
navy yards, while those on hand on ship.

JUST what is needed" exclaim thou
sands of people who have taken Hoods
Sarsaparilla at this season of the year, and
who have noted the success of the medicine
in giving them relief from that tired feeling,
waning appetite and state of extreme ex-
haustion after the close confinement of a
long winter season, the busy time attendant
upon a large and pressing business during
the spring months and with vacation time
yet some weeks distant. 1t is then that the
~building.up powers Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
are fully appreciated. 1t seems perfectly
adapted to overcome that prostration caused
by change of season, climate or life, and
while it tones and s~ustains the system, it
purifes and v~italizes the blood.
