The Supreme Court OF Appeals yester-

The greatest interest centered in that Of
the Southern Railway Company VS.. the

former could not surrender its lease of
the latter
The Franklin and Pittsylvanla. which
runs from Pittsylle, q station on the
Southern road. in Pittsylvania county,
10 Rocky Mount, the county seat Of
Franklin county, was leased by the
Southern, then the Washington City, Viz
ginia Midland, and Great Southern, April
Is. 1880 at an annual rental OF not TO
exceed 5000. Hon. John S. Barbour the
receiver OF the Midland. stated I'm his re-
ports to the Circuit Court of Alexandria
that the branch road would BE- valuable
as a feeder 10 the Midland. The term OF
the lease was thlrty-four years, making
it expire April Is. 1911.
The property leased was never valuable
10 the lessees. IN 1897 the Southern mani
Tested a plain intention To- surrender It's
lease. Attorneys for the Franklin and
Pittsylvania road thereupon brought SUIT
in the Circuit Court Of Franklin county 10
restrain the lcssces from surrendering the
lease. The Court decided that the lease
could not be abandoned. and dismissed
the case from the docket
The Supreme Court finds no error in the
decree. except the dismissal from the
docket The opinion says The Court
should have reserved the right 10 make
additional orders from time 20 time. and
kept the case on the docket for that pur-
pose. The decree was amended In this
respect. and as so amended was affirmed.
The opinion was prepared by Judge
Rely, and is very exhaustive. Judge
keith. T., dissentcd. The chief question
I'm the mind OF the court seems 20 have
been: Is the defendant company bound
to operate the leased road during the term
Of the lease. or may II rightfully abandon
and cease to operate IT? The question IS
considered in the light Of Il great many
decisions. and the terms Of the lease are
discussed seriatim. The conclusion
reached is that the Southern cannot
abandon the road. The amendment II
the order Of the lower court placing the
case again on the docket means that the
lessee corporation will have TO comply
with it's contract under the eye OF the
court.

GASOLINE HAD NO TERRORS.
Boy with n Can and Cigarette Gives
Passengers on 81" Train
Scare.

That Familiarity breeds contempt"
is an axiom too well proved to admit of
contradiction. The workers in powder
mills, the men who handle dynamite
and nitroglycerin and men engaged in
other eXtra-hazardous pursuits all be-
come in time so used to the perils that
environ them every minute as to for
get them, and only by the enforcement
of a rigid discipline can they be made
to take the necessary precautions.
A painters boy gave good illustra-
ton of this tendency of human nature
on the elevated road the other day, and
incidentally gave a severe shock to a
car full of people. The boy got on the
train at Western avenue in company
with ten-gallon case marked con-
spicuously Gasoline" He entered the
smoking car, and, lighting n cigarette,
was soon deeply interested in "Old
Avoirdupois; or, The Terror of the
Apaches." AS the train neared Green
street everybody in the car peered out
of the windows to see the ruins of the
Richie paper box factory. The boy,
who was on the other side of the car
dropped his dime novel, took an extra
puff on his cigarette and then carefully
laid it on the cork of the gasoline can
while he passed over to the other side
of the car to see the fire ruins.
Just then gentleman happened to
turn around and saw the smoking ciga-
rette on the can. He gave yell that
startled everybody in the car, and as
all eyes followed the direction his shak-
ing finger pointed there was a general
blanching of faces.
'Who owns il? ?" was the cry.
The boy by this time had seen all that
was visible of the ruins, and return
ing to his seat, calmly took up his ciga-
rette and RECALLED himself with a few
puffs. One or TWO excited gentlemen
demonstrated with him on his careless
ness. "Why, you might have blown the
car up" they said.
elbow up nuttin'!" said the boy, dis
gustedly. "Youse guys make me tired.
What do you know about gasoline, any
how? Why, / handle the stuff every
day, and I've never been blown up yet,
have II" and with that he returned to
his novel.
Several of the passengers hurried into
the next car as quickly as they could
but the boy, undismayed, smoked on I'M
til he reached loop station, and then,
with glance of contempt around the
car, toddled out with his deadly bur-
den.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

PAWNED TEETH TO GAMBLE.
How Sport in Hard Luck Got SEQ
on TIL lem and Recouped His
LOSSES.

This advertisement" remarked an
old gambler, pointing to a notice pub
lished by . man who had lost a set of
false teeth, reminds me of the eX-
perience of q gambler in Denver some
years ago who had to pawn his grind
ers for a stake. 1t was cold winter
night and l was bucking the games my
self in a big Denver establishment,
when happened to notice this pawning
event. A stranger from the east was
playing faro, but lost so heavily that he
changed to roulette. At this game the
last of his bunch had disappeared be-
fore he knew it. He felt in his clothes.
but found nothing, not even watch.
He had loaned his fine overcoat to a
friend earlier in the night with the
promise that it was to be returned by
midnight, but the time had passed and
the coat was not there. All at once the
gambler threw his hands to his face. A
thought struck him.
"'Gents,' he said is there a pawnshop
for gamblers near here%
"The faro dealer told him where to
find one half way down the block, and
the information was added that the
owner had soft spot in his heart for
gamblers in hard luck.
THE eastern sport walked into the
pawnshop moment later and asked
the owner how much he could advance
on fine set of teeth. The shopkeeper
hesitated for moment, but finally con-
scented to loan 500 on them. The articles
were carefully put away, and the gam
bier walked back with $40 bill. He
bought stack of chips, and during the
night played with remarkable luck. BY
five o'clock he was $500 ahead, after get
ting back Tie 81, 600 lost before the deal
with the pawnbroker. After he quit
playing he had to sit about for three
hours until the pawnshop was opened.
THAT same winter in Denver" con-
tinued the old man, II saw other pawn
ing experiences which taught me that
the gamblers best friend was the man
with the three balls sign. 1t was in this
same house that / saw sport pawn a
500 oyercoat ten times in as many
hours. The sport was playing craps
and he seemed crazy about that kind of
play. The first time he went broke he
stepped out to the same pawnbroker
and hooked the overcoat for $40. He
came back, got good streak and sent
the boy out with $22 and the ticket to
redeem it. He played for awhile and
was broke again. A second trip was
made to the shop, with the same result.
And then little later he was strapped.
This Juggling between the table and the
pawnshop was continued for hours,
though the sport finally quit when he
had the coat and $3.50 in the pockets

GIRL AND ALLIGATOR.
The True story of Little Florida
Maids Narrow Escape While
Taking n Swim.

Here is the story of a brave little girl
She is the daughter of Mrs. Fields, who
lives on Lake Gibson, near Lakeland,
Fla. The country is wild, and the child,
among O Their accomplishments not com
mon with the fortune-favored daugh-
tiers of our own section, is an expert
swimmer.
A few days ago she was standing by
the lake side. The day had been hot
and the water looked invitingly cool.
So in she jumped, as she had Often Gehe,
and struck boldly out.
She was scarcely in deep water, how
ever, before she felt violent pain in her
leg and great tug that drew her below
the surface. She struggled hard and
came to the surface again. She did not
know what it was, but suspected an al
ligator.
Now, this little girl must have been
very different from most little girls, for
she did not stop to scream. She turned
shoreward and struck out with all her
might. She did not feel any pain just
then. Perhaps she was too frightened
to notice it,.
She reached shoal water all right,
when there was swirl of water beside
her and a great black nose came up
from below. She felt a great pair of
jaws close over her side, between hip
and ribs, and again she was pulled be-
low. Struggling with all her might,
she again come up, and in two or three
strokes found bottom and began to
run for the shore, screaming now and
making a tremendous splashing.
There was more splashing alongside
of her and, as she ran out on the land,
size glanced back and saw her foe, an
alligator, near her.
You may be sure she lost no time
getting home, where she sobbed our
her story to an unbelieving family.
But her mother removed her clothes
and there were the bleeding wounds.
and ugly wounds they were, 100.
Now here, mark you, is another diff
ference between this little girl and
many other little girls we all know.
What chance this was for a ten-foot
alligator story to make all the coun-
try stare! But, no. Little Miss Fields
declares very positively that she had
good look at the beast, and it could
not have been larger than five feet.
