Rarbarous Mode of Punishment.

The entire State is greatly agitated
and outraged by the action OF the
Early county court, sitting at Barley,
Ga, on account of the inauguration
of a barbarous mode punishment. 1t
is said that for some time the county
court has allowed corporeal punish
ment to be inflicted in part payment OF
sentence for trivial offenses. This fact
was brought to light Saturday by the
recital of the case of negro woman,
who having stolen a pair OF cuff but
tons and was sentenced to three months
in the chain gang or $50 fine, 800
of which could be paid by being
whipped, the remaining SO to be paid
in money or served out in prison.
Immediately after the punishment OF
sentence the negress was marched to
the premises of Judge Arthur Gray
Powell and, under his personal super
vision, beaten until her cries attracted
the, attention OF Sheriff Black, who
rescued the unfortunate and ordered
that the remainder of her sentence be
spent in jlil. There is strong talk o.
an investigation of this atrocity and the
prompt punishment of its perpetrators.

No Street Cars Are Running in Saginaw,
Michigan.
The Saginaw, Mich, street railway
system was completely tied up Satur-
day as q result of several months
fight between the city and the Union
Street Railway Company, which cul-
minated recently in a decision by the

the city to take any measure to compel
the railway company to settle for GER
tain special improvement taxes. Fol-
lowing this, the common council de-
clared the company's franchise forfeit

was not expected, however, until later.
During Friday night the police placed
a big steam road roller across the car

are guarding the machine against any
molestation. The bondholders and
stockholders OF the company have
vainly tried to agree on basis of set
