MARKET SUIT NOT wITHDRAwN.
Gen. Birney Says the Company Has
Surrendered Nothing.

Gen. William Birney, attorney for the
Center Market Company, emphaticany de-
MED yesterday that the company had
Withdrawn its suit against the Commits
sioners to prevent them in their attempt
at control of b street, south of the market.
There has been a misunderstanding
somewhere" said he. The market COM
pdny has, in no manner, given up the rights
for which it contended. 1t is true that
L asked for the withdrawal of the re-.
straining order, but it was only to prevent
timc-consuming argument that would
require the attention of the court for
three days, and then probably have to be
repeated.
The time set for argument was last
Saturday. There is at present a bill before
the House District Committee that has
hecn reported from tile Senate and which
looks to the granting to the company the
nght of renting space as formerly The
committee viii act upon the bill one week
from tomorrow.
The commissioners gave me their written
pledge that they would not press their
claim until the committee had acted, and
on that promise withdrew the applica
ton for restraining order merely to
save the time of the court. But the suit
for permanent Injunction still stands
and we do not intend to give up our con.
tentions by any means.''

PROVED HIS INNOCENCE.
Wholesale Conspiracy in Guerrero,
Mexico, Unearthed.

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 3.-Carlos A. Miller.
the wealthy American recently arrested

tober 8.

in turning the tables upon his accusers
to such an extent that rigid investiga-
ton is now going on under the military
authorities, unearthing what promises to
be wholesale conspiracy in the State of
Guerrero to have Miller done away with

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE.
Presiding Elder Wilson breaches
on This Subject.

Rev. Luther B. Wilson, presiding elder
of the Baltimore NJ. E. Conference, preached
to a large congregation last evening at
the Metropolitan NJ. E. Church.
The subject Of the discourse, Look
Forward" was most appropriate and was
developed in an interesting and instructive
manner by the speaker.
The sermon was based on Paul's Epistle
to the Philippians, iii:13: ''I count not
myself to be appointed, but this that 1
do forgetting those things which are be-
hind reaching forth TO those things which
1 press toward to make for the prize Of
the high calling in Jesus Christ"
1t is a season Of good resolve, Dr.. Will
son said, and it is well to look to the
future and work in the future, instead Of
wearing out our lives over the mistakes of
the past.
1t is wise that we take heed of the
words Of Paul and press toward the prize
of the high calling in Christ.
The pleasures Of today, Of this life,
are ephemeral and not to be weighed in
the balance with the joys of life ever
lasting. So it behooves us, said the
speaker, always to be looking forward,
always reaching out for the promised prize,
the gIories OF life eternal in Christ.
