CAN CROSS STEAM RAILRO ADS.
Important Decision Favorable to
Street Railways.


Atlanta, Aug. THE Supreme Court to-
day sustained the decision of Judge J. II.
Lumpkin in the injunctioa suits of the
Southern Railway against the Atlanta
Rapid Transit Company, and the Atlanta
Railway and Power Company, holding that
a street railroad could cross a steam road
on a public highway without instituting
condemnation proceedings or paying dam
ages The crossings involved were the
one of the Rapid Transit Company on De
catur street and the one of the Railway
and Power Company on Henderson
Crossing The street railways had OBJ
tanned permission from the city and county
authorities to cross the Southern's tracks,
but the latter company claimed II would
be seriously damaged, aud appealed to the
courts for protection.
Thsnsuit against the Railway and Power
Company was first argued and the deci-
sion was reserved for about a month. Be
fore that case was decided, the suit
agSinst the Rapid Transit Company was
instituted. II was argued a few weeks
ago, and Immediately at the conclusion OF
the argument the decision in favor of the
street railway companies was rendered.
While similar rulings have been made
IN other states, this case becomes lead
ing one in Georgia and will be of great
interest to the legal profession and the
public.

SUIT FOR HALF A MILLION.
HEIRS SEEK TO RECOVER PROPER

Claim Is Founded on Marriage

The Heirs Now Claim the Property

Atlanta. Aug Property worth over
half a million dollars is involved in suits
filed to-day by Attorney Ulysses Lewis

Hattie Turner of Atlanta and Mrs. Mat

The bulk of the property is in Atlanta,
but some of it is in other parts of the
state. The Fulton county property is 10
Gated on Forsyth, Marietta and Court
land streets and near the McDonough
road. other parcels are in different coun-
ties in this state.
Three suits were filed in the Superior
Court to-day against the owners of the
Forsyth street property. The contentious
in the Trammell case are somewhat SINH

case
As in the Hayden case the claim is

Story Of q Prodigy.

"Elbridge T. Gerry's fixed conviction
that the use Of children as public en-
tertainers Is ruinous to their moral and
physical being has resulted in much
benefit for talented youngsters and in
a deYuge of abuse for their protectors.
Several years ago he called in the aid
of the law to prevent the performances
of a child pianist. The child was ad-
mitted by all qualified to Judge to be
.marvelously talented, and as the young
prodigy seemed to be well cared for
the outcry against the society was long
and loud. But Mr.. Gerry never fiinched,
and the law upheld him. Shortly after
ward the child was taken to Europe,
and the episode faded from the public
mind. Ten years later the same pianist
reappeared, now in the vigor Of youth.
His musical gifts had been developed
under the guidance of the most accom-
plished foreign instructors. The public
wondered and admired, but few knew
that the musician cwed the training in
his art to the generosity Of the man
who had restrained him from concert
playing ten years before."-Ainslee's
Magazine.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1900-12-04

There are few more interesting fig
ures in the political life of the country
than Marcus A. Hanna, and in the cur
rent number of McClure's Magazine
William Allen White draws most in
teresting pen picture of him.
Hanna, says the writer, is intensely
human. There is nothing god-like,
nothing demoniac, nothing cheruDlc,
nothing serpentine about him. He is a
plain man, who stands in the last ditch
with his friends, and fights his enemies
to the death. He enjoys a good joke,
good fellow, or good dinner; and,
II possible, likes all three served at
the same table. Often he wins bril-
Nancy, sometimes loses conspicuously,
makes a fool of himself occasionally,
laughs at it good-naturedly, and does
1t over again, 'even as you and l." He
has oD his bones the clay of the unex-
plainable old Adam-rich in weakness
and strength, graces and foibles, and
withal he has the philosophy Whlcn
sustained the shepherd of Arden. so
his strength Is more than his weakness,
for he has the virility of common sense
He is not happy crocheting Tides and
adopting ringing resolutions. He is
man of deeds rather than of explana-
tions.
Hanna is not man of exalted ideals.
Between his purpose and his execution
his path lies in straight line. If gen
tlemen in spectacles come along the
path, stretching across strings of ethi-
cal obstacles, and planting in it the
potsherds of transcendental philosophic
scruples. Hanna pushes forward to his
end, kicking away the strings and
crushing the pottery under his feet.
Later, If he has time, he devotes
few lurid minutes to the spectacled gen.
try before he closes the incident with
q bang and goes about his business.
Hanna Is perfectly willing to admit
