 FIGHTING THE COMMISSION.
 The Louisville and Nashville, Southern and Cincinnati Southern railroads have enjoined the state of Tennessee from col lecting the assessments levied against the lines. The constitutionality of the inter state commerce commission is attacked. The board of equalization has been pre- vented from certifying the report to the comptroller. Many legal lights are en- gagged in the fight, which promises to be a long-drawn-out struggle.
 IAN ECHO OF THE STRIKE.
 An echo of the late American Railway union strike of 1894 was heard In Chi cago court recently. The blacklist es- uablished by some of the railroads was hit hard and the jury returned a verdict
 
 Ketham was conductor employed by the Northwestern railroad. He joined the strikers, and was blacklisted. He estab- lfshed the fact that he could not obtain permanent employment on account of the blacklist His suit took neanly three weeks for trial and was terminated last Friday.
 SOUTHERN WILL WIN.
 In railroad circles in Chatta nooga it is currently reported that the Southern Railway system will absorb the Memphis $ and Charleston road. In some quarters dit is reported as foregone conclusion that such will occur.
 Receiver Henry Fink Of the Memphis and Charleston is said to be working the wires in an effort to secure control of the road independent of the Southern sys- tenn. The road will be sold in the near future. After the Southern secures the Memphis and Charleston 1t will likely reach out for the Cincinnati Southern.
 THE STATE IS NOW OPEN.
 The bulletin issued last night by Super 1ntendent Charles A Wickersham, of the Alabama Great Southern road. is brief, cleaJr statement of the condition of af- fairs. It is as follows:
 ssThe state of Alabama has abolished all quarantine regulations and reetrlc- tions heretofore established against fn- fected places, the same to take effect at noon today. All local quaran.inss on our lime have also been abolished except as to Eutaw Ala, which still maintains quarantine against Greensboro, Ala. This will admit of the unrestricted mIove- ment of freight and passengers from all infected places to points in Alabama with the exception noted above"
