BANANA PEEL
Figured Prominently in Damage Suit
 Against a Railroad.

Savannah, Ga., January 24.-A banana peel figured prominently in case in the United States court here today. The plaint- TIT, Milligan, was suing the Southern rail- Way for the loss of a foot. At Everett, Fla, Milligan was asked to carry some waybills to train which was moving. In attempt ing to board the train he slipped on a ba- mana peel on the step and fell and his foot was mashed off.
 The railroad demurred to the bill for damages on two grounds. First, that Milli- gan was not passenger on the train, but a v"Sunteer, and as therefore not entitled to t~ roads protectionw; and, second, that the . tcident was due not to any negligence on the part of the company, but to the ba- mana peel, for which the company was not responsible. Judge Emory Speer sustained the demurrer on both grounds and threw the case out of court.

SENATOR DAVIS CHALLENGED n
 ALLOW VOTE ON PEACE TREATY

the afternoon came a succession of shocks, lasting nearly minute and producing much alarm.
 People rushed into the streets and knelt praying, or nocked under the protecting arch of doorways.

The national palace was cracked Tn eleven places and in some places the side walks were broken. The electric light wire and telephone aeral cables swung like loose rope in a gale.
 Cache horses and mules drawing street cars stopped and braced themselves to re- sist the trembling under their feet. Cham pons silk factory fell in and it is feared many operatives were injured. The car stables fell in, killing a number of mules ana child. Photographic advices show that the earthquake was felt at Vera Cruz and Colima and other points.

The Senatorial Situation is Less Com
 plicated.

Charleston W. Va, January 24.-As the senatorial situation presents itself tonight, when the joint ballot is taken tomorrow N B. Scott, the republican caucus nominee, will have 47 votes, or less than necessary to elect him; and John L. McGraw, the democratic candidate, will have 46.
 Today the two branches of the legislature voted separately for United States senator. The combined vote resulted: Scott, repub- lican, 46; McGraw, democrat, 46; Golf, re- publican, 1; Blizzard, republican, 1. Senator Whitaker, of Wheeling, will be here tomor- TO, and will vote for Scott.
 The votes for Golf and Blizzard were cast by Delegates Haptenstall of Fayette and Hunt of Kannawha. Both of these mem- bers were not present at the caucus which nominated Scott, they having refused to sign the call. It was expected that Hap stenstall would vote for Golf, but when Hunt presented the name of Blizzard wild sensation was created.
 Tonight all sorts of conferences are being held but the situation is not apt to develop anything new until tomorrow morning.

 W. E. Deity: Rather than advertise this climate as health resort exclu- sively. it seems to me that the same efforts should be directed to induce the inumerable business men and other persons in the large cities who are in need of recuperation, to come here for rest. They would be glad to come if they could form the remotest cOncep- tion of the beneficial results they would derive.
