AN IMPORTANT POINT.

The superior judges listened extra
attentivcly to the arguments on either
side and indicated by their questions
that they considered the point at issue
was n very delicate and important one.
II was indirectly intlnated that It was
not altogether impossible but that the
court would 60 into the matter at
length.
The fact that the rulings made in this
matter, which were made in the days
of horse cars. are not altogether applic-
able to questions relating to trolley
cars, was brought up and Judge Jessup
led on by q hypothetical question from
Judge Smith, said he hoped the court
would go even to the length Of making
ruling that it would be contributory

In Charge of Quarantine Regulations at
 Montauk Point Long Island.

It will be of interest to the people of Birmingham to know that Surgeon Magru- der, of the United States marine hospital service, who had charge of the smallpox epidemic in Birmingham last winter, is now in charge of the quarantine depart nent which the government is establishing at Montauk Poine Long Island.
 All of the regiments which composed Gen. eral Shafter's army in Cuba, are now be- ing brought to Camp Wycoff at Montauk Point, and as these men have been in con- tact with yellow fever down there, thor ough system of quarantine and isolation of all suspicious cases Is absolutely neces- sary.
 Surgeon Magruder is a man of great expe- rience in handling yellow fever and other kinds of epidemics, as is evidenced by the way in which he rid Jefferson county or smallpox He won the respect of the whole community by the courteous way in which he carried on the work of vaccination and disinfection and by the thorough manner in which he did his work He had his ofhce in this city from January to March g.

CHARGED WITH
 TRAIN ROBBERY
Eugene Couch Arrested by Off,
 cer Bodeker
EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING
On Warrant From Sumter County Charge of Adultery Also Preferred Prisoner Taken to Livingston
 Sequel to the Holdup at Cuba.

Early yesterday morning Eugene Couch, a young white man was arrested by Of fcer Bodeker of the police force on a war rant from Sumpter county charging him with interfering with the United States mails. An additional charge of adultery was docketed against him, and he was locked up in the city prison.
 It is said that the exact nature of the charge against him is train robbery in con- nection with the hold-up of the Alabama Great Southern train at Cub,..55 Ala Ala, about three months ago. rEr1
 The prisoner was turned over to Depus ,. United States Marshal Wade Mothershed, of Tuscaloosa, who left with him over the Alabama Great Southern read last night for Livingston, where he will be given a hearing.
 Couch says that if the charge is pre- ferred against him he will be able to prove an alibi. He claims that he is being perse- cuted by officers and that his every move ment has been watched during the past few weeks.
 Couch is originally from Georgia, and claims to have relatives in Atlanta, where he is well known.
 The charge of adultery on which he Is being held was made on the alleged fact that he has been living with woman in this city for some time who came with him from Georgia. On this score he seems to fell no uneasness and says that he will come clear of the charge

Colonel Fitch, of the Twenty-first Kan sas Volunteers, was in the city yesterday on his way home on a ten-day leave. He says his regiment, together with the other regiments in the Third division of the First army corps will be moved soon to Kentucky, where they will wait until they see active service until they are dis banded.
 As ground for mobilizing an army Col onel Fitch says he has never seen a bet ter place than Chickamauga park, but no matter how good a location may be, it must necessarily become contaminated af- ter a few months occupation by a large army When the volunteer regiments first went into camp there, they all pitched their tents in fhe shady groves, but now they have learned that the open fields are much more healthful and have moved their tents out in the open sun.

with the defendant. At the preceding trial
she had sworn in his behalf to that effect
and yesterday, though testifying for the
plaintiff, she preferred to tell the same
story rather than risk prosecution for per-
jury.
Mrs. Miller also swore that she had been
engaged to marry the defendant, but that
he had refused to carry out his share of the
contract. In letter from her, introduced
later by the defense, she had declared her
intention, because of his desertion, to
abandon herself to life of shame, circum-
stance not greatly to the credit of defendant,
but important as showing her character and
tending to weaken her evidence for Mrs.
Matuskiwiz.
The cause will be on further hearing today.

The defendant, being threatened with pros
ecution for seduction, consented to the cere-
mony, but would not assume thereafter
marital relations. A child was born as the
result of previous cohabitation, and this
remains in the custody of the mother. The
mother of the husband was forced, though
to testify against him as to the
charge of desertion.
