NOLONGER OPERATED
-FOUR BUTCHERS vACATE THEIR
SLAUGHTER PENS.
COM LIANT As TO THEIR DRAINAGE.
This Brings Up Argument for and
Against the Proposed Union stock
Yards-one Dealer Says 1t Is Only
n Matter of n Site Now.

Four slaughter-pens, situated on the
Hermitage road. and operated by MessTs.
u. II. Acree. John, Barney. and Samuel
Brauer, have been closed. This action has
been taken In view of legal steps threat
ened by Mr.. George Anderson, a grocer;
Mrs. Burley, saloon-keeper. and others.
living In the vicinity. The grounds for
the proceedings are alleged to be. that the
drainage from the pens materially affects
the property Of the compiainants.
STOPPED USING THE PENS.
The four butchers involved thought dis
cretion the better part Of valor, and have
made arrangements to use the yards Of
Messrs. Walter e. Brauer and II. c..
Heckler, while Mr.. Acree has moved his
pen half a mile further into the county
where there is no possibility Of a similar
contingency arising.
This difficulty has revived the old agl-
tation for union stock-yards, but what the
outcome will be ii Is difficult TO predict
The two factions appear to be as irrecon-
cilable as ever.
MATTER OF A SITE.
One Of those butchers who are in favor
of the yards says that the matter is really
settled, and II only remains to choose be-
tween the two sites most favored-that
on the Hermitage road, and that on the
National Cemetery road. He expressed
the belief TO a Dispatch reporter that the
yards would certainly be in operation by
January 1st or very soon afterwards
1t had been hoped, he said, that the
union-yard arrangement would have been
entered into this fan. but there had been
a hitch in the negotiations. which, how
ever, was being smoothed out.
A member OF the faction which IS op-
posing the scheme ridicuied the idea OF
union stock-yards. 1t Is not feasible he
said, and being of sporting turn of mind.
he offered to bet large sums OF money
that the plan would never amount to
anything.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture ard sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene.
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the bes. and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

Richmond'u Lawyer scores Him Hard In the
Triumph or Death- Case.
II was announced yesterday that tho case
against George II. Richmond growing out OF the
condemnation and seizure OF Gabriel D'Annuz.
zio's Triumph of Death" which was published
by tho firm of Richmond & Co, would be decided
tomorrow In Specia! Sessions Court, where the
Justices will render their decision then as to the
character of the book. Portions OF the brief that
Mr.. Fisk, who appears for Richmond, handed In
to the Justices on Wednesday. became public
yesterday. 1t recites that the book has received
favorable criticism from leading critics all over
the country. and that 1t has been translated into
twelve languages as n masterpiece. The respect
ability of tho firm OF Richmond s. Co. is also
dwelt upon. Other portions Of the brief are di-
rectcd at Anthony Comstock. who was the lead.
ing spirit of the raid and seizure OF the books.
1.-THE book" says the brief. - was freely adver-
tised in journals and magazines OF the highest
tisements would not have been accepted had the
book been OF an Objectionable nature. The only
man who could 6nd in his imagination any.

therein which might excite. IA to him. impure
maginations and a capab!lity, us to him. ofsug.

he Is to be The sole arbiter in the first instance Of
what might excite Impure imaRinations or sug-
sest impure thoughts or desires. then on the
same reasoning. he might arrest my female
whose dress might to his mind suggest to any
desires or listful thoughts. No such rule or
reason exists or can exist"
The brief, then ~recitcs that no other cutlery
against the book has been made. The hook WAS
printed on the recommendation OF Prof. Peck of
Columbia University. and was translated by
Prof. Arthur HornblOw.
"Under these circumstances. IL continues,
"it WAS an arbitrary and %despotic act. without
fendants on tho charge made and subject them
TO the odium which follows. 1t does seem as II
the course pursued was intended to injure the
defendants reputation and business"
The brief ends by. declaring that this case Ia
cided that The Arabian Nights" TON Jones'"
"Rabelais." and THE Decameron" were not
obacene.
