FOR KEEPING A NUISANCE.
John Carlos Put On Trial in Common Pleas
Court Today.

The trial of old criminal cases was begun
in Judge Wilbur's court this morning. John
Carlos, who was indicted for maintaining "A
common nuisance on Spruce street in 1894,
was put on trial. According TO the testimony
of police officers and Special Constable Joseph
Testa, Carlos sold liquor in n basement. The
last witness called could not tell the name of
the party he bought liquor of at Carlos
place. Attorney owen called on three wit
nesses for the defendant who were in court
TO stand up, but Testa did not recognize any
one OF them as the man he purcha7ed liquor
Of Captain Matthews testified that he visited
Carlos place in January and found IL persons
in the basement which looked very like a
barroom. Every one seemed TO lose their in
terest in the proceedings, and when tho cap
tain saw this he asked who was in charge
and when his question was not answered took
charge himself. The captain testified also
that he barricaded the door by which he. had
entered the basement. Afterward when he
remarked to Carlos that no one would get
into the place that night, Carlos put his hand
in his pocket and said Here's q key"
The defendant denied that he had ever sold
liauor at the place charged in the indictment,
but maintained that he had always been
aw.abiding citizen. Attorney General E. O.
Dubois represented the state.

TO BE READY IN TWO WEEKS.

Only Few Finishing Touches Now
TO BE Put ON the New Car Works.
1t is confidently expected now that the
plant of the Georgia Car Manufacturing
Company will be ready to begia- operations
within two weeks, and 1t would have been
ready week earlier had it not been for
the heavy rains, which have conhicted
with the work of construction.
The plant is practically complete now,
with the exception of the connection Of
the boilers with the steam engines in the
two buildings. and the finishing up of the
brick work. This work will be finished
inside of ten days or two weeks. and then
everything will be ready to turn on the
steam.
1t may be that the company will have
a large amount of work on hand to start
with. 1t is figuring on lot of work,
and has a number of small jobs definitely
in sight. If the figures are made agree
able to the second parties, 1t is likely it
will be given a large amount of work
at once. Should this be the case, the
company win start right in with a force of
about 400 men. 1t has a large capacity,
and with good mechanics and workmen,
which, it is said, will be secured at once,
there would seem to be no reason why IL
should not get good deal of business.

FEARS ron FRUIT AND TRUCK.
4 Few Degrees Lower Temperature
Would DO Great Damage.

Fears have been entertained during the
cold snap of the last two or three days
for the vegetables and the fruit crop.
While it is not thought the conditions
have yet been such as to injure either, a
slightly lower drop of mercury would nip
the young plants and the tender buds Of
the fruit trees. While the thermometer
has been pretty low, the cold has been
accompanied by brisk winds that have
prevented the formation of heavy frosts.
The temperature probably has not reach
ed a point sufficiently low to injure but
that remains a question, and the wind
has been welcomed as the salvation of
the tender plants, for the cold may have
been severe enough to have done dam
age without it's having possibly prevent
ed frost
Vegetables are well advanced, and their
death through cold would be a severe set
back to the crops Replanting, if neces-
stated would delay the crops by month
or six weeks. Some vegetables have al
ready made their appearance in the mar
ket that were raised by truckers in This
vicinity. Green peas are 20 be seen in
small quantities at the market and some
have been shipped TO the north. Beets,
carrots and asparagus are coming in, and
may be soon ollowed by strawberries
raised near here.
The strawberry crop, however, is fine.
The yield will probably be not more than
one-fifth OF what il ordinarily Is. This
is thought to be from the effects OF very
dry weather that was experienced last fall.
The Florida crop has been only moderate
~ good. The berries are small and were
not produced In great abundance. The
protracted wet spell that closed a few days
ago has had bad effect on Irish potatoes.
They have been planted, and some are
already above ground, but many of those
planted have rotted before sprouting.
Where this is the case II will be nece ssary
to Feplant. Some OF the farmers seeing
cold weather heralded by the report, had
the young plants covered by siding dirt
upon them. This furnishes ample protec-
ton and does not injuro them.

WANTS THE C. AND AS REPORT
Vice President Gabbett Thought II
Had Been Forwarded,

Georgia and Alabama officials here were
surprised yesterday on seeing the Morn
ing News dispatch from Macon that a
writ of mandamus had been asked for by
the interstate commerce commission, in
the United States district court, COMPEL
ing the road to file its report for the
year ending June 80, 1896, with that body.
Mr.. Cecil Gabbett, general manager of
the Georgia and Alabama, said he thought
the report had been filed in proper form,
thought until his attention was drawn to
the action the commission had taken. The
road will not fight the case, as there IS
no reason why it should wish to withhold
it's report.
The matter will be settled by the auditor
sending on the report to Washington,
where it will be filed in the commission 8
office. Mr.. Gabbett said he did not re-
member having seen the blank that the
commission always sends the roads to be
filled out The commission may not have
sent it, or it may have reached the audit
or and, through some mistake, may not
have been sent on for record. The hear
ing at Macon was set for April 5, but the
roads prompt response now, on learning
of the report being lacking, will probably
put a period to the proceedings. The
Georgia and Alabamas very creditabie
showing for the first ten months, ending
June 30. 1896, of its existence is certainly
one that it should have no hesitancy in
being willing to submit.
