INDICTED ron ARSON.
Former savannah Man in Trouble,
But Appears to BE Innocent.

But Appears to BE Innocent.
Valdosta, Ga, Nov. 1.-THE grand jury
has indicted G. w. Watkins, formerly of
Savannah, charging him with setting fire
to his saloon here several weeks ago. The
charge was unexpected. The fire occurred
about midnight and about two hours after
the saloon was closed. There was no
special suspicion that the building was
fired, though the officers have been work
ing on the case and they claim to have
strong evidence against Watkins. The
bill of indictment was turned over to the
sheriff and Watkins was arrested and
placed i'm jail. The case against him will
probably come up this week. Circumstan-
tial evidence seems favorable to Watkins,
as the time he left the saloon and his
whereabouts afterwards until the fire was
discovered, all run in his favor. 1t is
said, however, that those who testified be-
lore the grand jury were direct in there
charges and that if their testimony Is to
be believed the case is a strong one.
SThe first important civil case heard at
this term of court was that ofJ. T. Rob
erts, receiver for the Mineola Mill Com
pany, versus j. NJ. Smith, for purchase
money for the property. demurrer was
entered by the defendants attorneys and
the hearing was simply upon the question
of the courts jurisdiction in the case, the
plaintiffs claiming that the transaction
was really between the court and the de-
PENDANT, Roberts being the officer of the
court, The case was argued by Judge
Hopkins and Col. Meadows of Oglethorpe
county for the defendant, and Capt
Kingsberry and Col E. p. S. Denmark, of
this city, for the plaintiff. The decision
of the court will be rendered later. The
suit was for $21, 900, the difference in the
price between what Smith is alleged to
have contracted to give for the property
and the price at which it was finally sold
to other parties.
Mr. David Newsom one of the Oldest
citizens of this county, died at his home at
Clyatteville Monday. He was 81 years of
age, and leaves a large circle of friends to
lament his death.

HURLED FROM THE TRACK.
Capt. d. f. MOseIy Killed by Train
Near VaIdOsta.

Near NaldOsta.
Valdosta, Ga. Nov 17-Capt B. F.
Mosely, one of the Oldest citizens and
most conspicuous figures in this section,
wandered away from home late yesterday
evening and was found this morning three
miles east of here dead, having been
knocked from the railroad track by the
east bound train on the Plant system last
night. The old man probably never knew
what struck him, as his body was hurled
sixty feet and thrown with great force
against a stump. The body was badly
mangled and several bones were broken.
Capt. Mosely was for many years a
prominent business man here, having come
to this section during the war from Put
nam county. He was of the best of dis
positions, and even in his advanced age
he remained a practical joker and wag.
He owned considerable property in the
southern part of the county and in this
city and was a splendid business man in
years gone by.
He was n years old and for the past
several years his health has been bad.
His strength and physical vigor have re-
manned with him almost to the last,
though his mind was feeble; so much so
that he has been watched by his family.
For the past month he has been kept
pretty close about home, and yesterday
ne became HTlldlSO at ms GODIliltIDe1N.
His wife decided to let him walk about
some, thinking that IL would do him good.
She watched him as far as she could
see and then sent one of her
children to follow him. The child
lost the track and returned to the house,
Then Mrs. Mosely went after him herself
but failed TO find any trace of him further
than a hundred or so yards away She
summoned her son-in-law, Joseph Stump
and several neighbors to look for him and
they continued their search until O'Clock
this morning going within a hundred yards
of where he was killed. They met a ne
gro at that place who assured them that he
had come along the railroad for a mile OF
so and had seen nothing of the missing
man. They then turned toward the public
road and made a sweeping search through
the woods leading to this city. They re-
| turned to their homes, thinking that may
be he had gone to some house. being
known to everybody, and was spending
the night there. This morning early a
train hand reported that dead man was
lying on the side of the road near Knight
creek bridge. An Investigation proved the
| man to he Capt. Mosely. The remains
were inferred here this evening with Ma
sonic ceremonies. He was a man whom
| every one liked and he will be missed by
| the people here. When last heard from
| he was enquiring the way of a negro to a
circus tent, which shows that he was
| wandering aimlessly, not knowing where
| he was going.

FOUR BOXES DID IT,
Remarkable Success of New Pile
Cure.


Cure.
People who have suffered for years y,r
months from the pain and inconvenience
of that common disorder, piles will look
with skepticism upon the claims of the
makers of the new discovery for cure OF
all forms of piles, known under the name
of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the ex-
traordinary cures performed by this rene
DIV are such as TO warrant the investiga-
ton of any sufferer. AS a case in point
the following letter speaks for itself:
Mr. Henry Thomas of substation No 3,
Hosack Avenue, Columbus, Ohio, writes
as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.: Gentlemen-I want
you to use my name, if it will be of any
use to you. l was so bad with the piles
that / lost work on that account. Moth

of the many cures of piles by the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and l went to a drug store
and asked for it. The drug clerk told me
that he had something else that he
thought was better. but I told him that
wanted to try the Pyramid first
The first box helped me so much that

NEw BRUNSWICK, ". j., Oct. 3O.-An order
was signed in the Chancery Court in Jersey
City this morning, on application Of Willard =.
VOORHEES,, counsel for the Brunswick Traction
Company, which ties up the operations Of the
New York and Philadelphia Traction Company
in this State, more particularly in Middlesex
and Somerset counties. Last Sunday the New
York and Philadelphia concern unloaded at
Finderne. Bridgewater township. Somerset
county, an army OF negroes from Baltimore,
with n lot of trolley building machinery. They
worked night and. day, and in about twenty.
four hours had a complete system of road
built, with one car running by electricity.
The present action, which is technically he.
tween A~ttorney.General Gray and Gilbert Van
Doren. complainant, and the New York and
Philadelphia Traction Company, defendant,
stops the operation Of the trolley line between
Bound Brook and Somerville. The order to
show cause acts as a mandatory injunction and

General after the case had been put before him
was taken 10 the Chancellor this morning by
Mr.. Voorhees,. On Mr.. Voorhees's arrival in
Cbancellor's order were made and served by
special messengers on such officials OF the New
York, and Philadelphia Company as could be
found.
The bill sets forth that tho latter company
erected tracks and wires without having first
secured the consent of the Bridgcwater Town
ship Committee; that tho committee ordered the
work stopped. but that they were dlsrcgardcd;
that a WRIT OF certiorari was ignored. and that
the thoroughfare which tho company seized
was taken without lawful, right, and Is now a
menace to safety. The bill prays that the ordi-
declared null and void: that the company be
restrained from any further construction; that
Ii remove the present railroad; that 1t restore
the highway to its former condition; that it for.
felt all right to secure further franchises in the
township.
The order of the Chancellor not only ties up
the New York and Philadelphia Company in
