WANT THE NEGROES IN.
Montgomery White Trades Unions
Say They Must BE Recognized.


Say They Must BE Recognized.
Atlanta, Oct. 21.-A special from Mont
gomery, Ala, says:
A sensation, entirely new to this section,
was sprung here to-day in labor circles.
A street fair and trades display will be
held here, commencing Monday, with
street parade in which the trades unions
were to participate. To-day the unions
announced that they would take no part in
the parade because the Parade Committee
of the fair declined to allow the negro
trades unions a place in the line.
The street fair people and the unions APP
pointed committees to confer and try to
arrange matters. but without results The
white union men take the position that
the white unions have contracts with ref
erence to wage scales, ETC., with those
composed of negroes, and that they would
not deal with an organization that was not
responsible and respectable; that as a reg
ularly organized trades union the negro
union is entitled to a place in the parade,
and that the refusal of the Fair Commit
tee to give the negroes a place is disre-
spectful to organized labor rather than to
the negro race.

DAMAGES FoR HUMILIATION.
Mr.. sylvan Was Forced on the Car
and Asks Court to Remunerate Him.


Mr.. Emil w. Sylvan filed suit yesterday
i'm the City Court against the sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway, asking damages in the sum of
5000. The suit is based upon the actions
of certain agents and employees of the COM
pany, by whom Mr.. Sylvan was elected
from one of its cars on the afternoon Of
June Il.
MIR. Sylvan charges that he presented to
the conductor of the car a ticket that pur-
ported to be good for one passage from
Savannah TO Thunderbolt and that the
conductor refused it, He did not consider
that he was liable to pay fare and was
put off the car at the AVondale rifle range,
about two miles from the city and from
the stopping point to which he wished to
go. His objections to this summary action
on the part of the conductor were not
listened to, and he was put off the car in
the presence of a large number of persons
and TO the humiliation of himself and
every one else with whom he was connect
ed, He feels that the damages assessed
are not unreasonable, when they are fixed
at 5000. and that because of the addi-
tional mental pain and suffering he was
compelled to incur that such an amount is
just, reasonable and proper.
The humiliation to which the petitioner
was subjected is dwelt upon at length. and
he is emphatic in the declaration that this
was due TO the conduct of the conductor
and to no negligence on the part of him
self. The petitioner is represented by Mr.
Walter p. LaRoche.
The case is the result of an effort of the
Street Railway Company to enforce the
use of Thunderbolt tickets on the day of
their purchase. Mr.. Sylvan had ticket
dated the day before it was presented; the
conductor refused to accept It, and he
was put off the car and had to walk.

INSIDE ROUTE To BEAUFORT.
Capt. Gillette Directed to Prepare n
Project.


Capt c. E. Gillette, United States engin-
eer at Savannah, has been notified by the
chief Of the engineer corps at Washington.
TO prepare project for the improvement
of inside route No. to Beaufort, S. c.
Capt. Gillette said yesterday that ne viii
prepare the project as soon as he can OBJ
tain copy from Washing on of the last
report made by the board of engineers
UPON the route to Beaufort, as he has not
been able 10 find a copy in his office.
Capt. Gillette thinks that there will be
sufficient money available from the apprO-
prlation IN which the Beaufort route was
included, but which has been held up on
account of the complications of the Carter
case, 10 complete The route in question. A
pan for this work was prepared in his
office some months ago and the use of
route No ! authorized by Congress, but no
funds being available nothing was done.
capt. Gil ette estimates the amount needed
to complete the work at $4,000

dations of the CHEF Of engine ers in his es-
umates for engineering work for the en-

understanding that he was to be given a
good commercial education with particu-
lar attention to bookkeeping. He paid 800
a year for four years course.
Al the end of that time Mr.. williamson
asked the boy to figure out the discount
on a bill of goods. The boy was unable
TO do so. and the father reluctantly paid
the last $50 due and took the boy from
MacChesneys.
The suit for breach of contract was bas-
ed on the alleged lack of attention given
the boy at school. Young Williamson tes-
titled that the teachers were always too
busy to explain anything, and that they
simply allowed the pupils to copy lessons
from text books.
William +. Gourley. as counsel for Dr.
MacChesney, asked the boy these elemen-
tary questions questions:
How much Is 4 plus ls?"
Il can't answer that"
What is discount
THE only thing know Is that II is 10
take away something"
How much is the interest on 81 900 at
per cent. for one year?
Il don't know how to figure that out"
The youth was also put through an ex-
animation on the witness stand in spelling,
history and geography. He was woefuliy
deficient on the two last-named subjects.
He said he didn't know when the civil war
began.
The boy was also examined I'm bookkeep-
ing, and showed an almost total lack OF
knowledge of that subject. Expert book
keepers testified that the system shown
by the text books was useless for practi-
cal purposes
The PLAINTIFF 9 lawyer offered in evidence
a letter sent by DR.. MacChesney 10 Mrs.
williamson on Jan. l. 1895, which said
II am pleased TO tell you that Freddie
has done well. / hardly ever knew of an
instance where boy so young has given
so much satisfaction. He has none of the
baby tricks of other boys, and has done
an unusual years work"
Accompanying this was a report of the
boys examination, showing a percentage
Of 20 to 100 in the various branches OF
study.
Judge Dixon. In granting a motion by
Mr.. Gourley for a non-suit, said:
IAN expressed contracts for more than
a year not in writing, are, under the Stat
ute of Fraud, nun and void. teacher
is no more responsible for the failure or
success of his pupil than the lawyer is for
the success or failure of his case, or the
physician for his patient All that is nee
essary is that reasonable skin be shown
by the teacher.
1T is apparent, however, from the evil
dence presented. that false reports were
made of the boys progress This suit
might have been brought for damages for
false representation, by which the father
was induced to keep the son at school,

GIANT AMONG LOCOMOTIVES.
The Largest and Heaviest Engine In
the World.

AhC LII SSSI anu dS4V1eSL Engine In
the World.
A monster mountain climbing loco
motive. built to ascend the steep grades
of the Lehigh Valley railroad, has just
been completed at the Baldwin Loco
motive works, Philadelphia. This en-
CINE, which is claimed to be the largest
locomotive ever constructed in the
United States, is known as a compound
consolidation engine, and weighs lis
tons.
1t is so long, that when it was fin
ished it was discovered that it could
not turn the curves of the siding lead
ing from the shops where it was built
to the main line of the Reading rail-
road, and the workmen were compelled
to jack it uD several times in order to
overcome this unforeseen difficulty.
Hundreds of persons watched with
great interest this novel work of lift
ing it over the curves. It has been
numbered 6S1, and is guaranteed to
pull a train Of !, 900 tons seventeen miles
per hour over the steeDest grades of
the Lehigh Valley. This giant among
locomotives will use buckwheat coal
for euel.
Its general dimensions are as follows:
The cylinders are IS inches in diameter
high pressure, and 80 inches in diameter
low pressure. The boiler is so inches in
diameter, and contains 511 tubes two
inches in diameter. There are four
driving wheels on each side. so inches
in diameter. The boiler and fire box are
of steel, While the total weight of the
engine in pounds is 225,0S3. This weight,
