A Suit Against the Southern.

A Suit Against the o0utnefn.
The Charlotte Observer OF
says:
Mrs. A. L. Franks, Of
Morganton, passed through
Charlotte last night on her
way to Chester, S. c., where
she will appear as plaintiff IN
a suit for damages against the
Southern Railway. The facts
in the case, it is alleged, are
that last year Mrs. Franks
was on a train going into
Chester, where she intended
visiting relatives. Just as the
train was pulling into the
station she, with other passen-
gers, stood up, Mrs. Franks
being near the door. By
some chance there was a
stationary car on the track,
which the incoming train col
lided with. The jolt was suf-
fcient to throw Mrs. Franks
forward on her face and her
nose was broken. Therefore
she brought the action.
"Dr. George Moran, OF
Morganton, and his son,
Erwin, also went to Chester
last night. DR.. Moran has
been summoned as a defen-

SPANISH STEEL ROAD.
Saving In the Cost OF Repairs Pai1
for Its Construction N . Very
ShOrt Tine.

In response TO inquiries made BY the
department Of state, Consul Washing.
ton at Valencia, Spain, has given the
following report Of steel roadway
that has been in use In that country
for seven years:
"The road between Valencia and
Grao is two miles in length. and Al
average of 5000 vehicles pass over IL
daily. Until 1892, it was constructed Of
flint stone. The annual cost of keep.
ingit in repair was about $4,000 pesetas.
At the rate of exchange at that date,
this amounted to S5,470.
"The construction of q steel road.
way was determined on. and the an.
nual cost Of keeping in repair the cen
tral zone of road thus relieved from
heavy trafiic-which proceeds over the
steel rals-is now only $500 pesetas,
or about $3.50 at the present rate Of
exchange.
a Belgium firm received the con-
tract to furnish the steel work, hav-
ing bids less than Spanish firms At
Barcelona and Eilbao.
THE length of road so built is 80
kilometers Q.9sS miles). The cost per
kilometer (0.G2137 mile) was 44,10o
pesetas (S6,S9O.).
"The total cost of the road laid was
tO,9j0 pesetas ($9,5OG). The expense
in detail was:

"Ample room is allowed between
the rails for two horses to walk
abreast. Horses do not appear to slip
on rails of this construction.
AT each side of the rail are layers
of binding stones, the paved road being
higher than the face of the rails.

Although charges of wanton cruelty
have been made by Boer against Briton
and by Briton against Boer, the contest
- thus far. says reliable authority, has
been marked by chivalrous humanity
on both sides when the fury Of battle
has left its stricken victims to be sue
cored by their foes. In Boer operating
camps and hospitals, as in the British,
no discrimination was shown between
friend and foe. Common suffering has
appealed TO common humanity, enmi'
ties have been forgotten, and the same
pltying kindness and tender care eX-
tended 10 one as to the other.
