SALOON MEN WERE CONVICTED
Diers and Schroeder Each Fined $3.50
Or Sax Months.

william Diers and Henry Schroeder
we're convicted in the Superior Court yes
terday of keeping open tippling houses
on the Sabbath and were each fined $3.50
and costs or six months in the county
jail. In the Schroeder Case the jury rec
commended the, defendant to the mercy OF
the court, but the fine was the same as
in the case where straight verdict OF
guilty was returned.
The saloonmen were represented by Col
P. w. Meldrim and the defense put up
a hard fight White men, however. tes-
titled against the defendants and, despite
the argument of counsel, verdicts in ac-
cordance with the facts were returned.
The arguments of counsel almost had the
desired effect, and 1t required FIVE hours
in each case for the jury to agree to
bring in a verdict of guilty. The testi-
mony put up by the state was conclusive
enough, and the witnesses were positive
of their statements.
Diers was charged with having his place
open Jan. 20, Jasper NJ. McGilis, a lead
ing light in the old Law and Order
League, swore that he was In the saloon
at 1927 a. m. on the Sunday named m
the indictment. Four men were in the bar
The defendant and his barkeeper were in
the place, and the witness was served
with cigars by Diers.
A. N. Canuet, who was with McGillis,
testified to the same condition of facts
He said that the indictment was secured
when everybody else was OPEN and that
he had afterwards stated a willingness to
have the case nolle pressed, because he
had learned. that Diers had ceased to do
a Sunday business.
The defendant denied the charge and
stated that he had never seen McGinis
before and that certainly he had never
approached him after the indictment was
secured, and had stated that he was sorry
that he had made a mistake in having
the indictment made out against the de-
PENDANT, and that II had been intended
for some one else. Several Witnesses tes-
titled as to the good character of the ac-
cused. Some amusement was created
when Col. Meldrim asked one of these
witnesses II he knew Mr.. Adolphus s.
Canuet, the gentleman with the long side
whiskers. who sells syrup"
Schroeder was charged with having his
place open on May 10 and denied his guilt
A. f. Morgan swore positively that he
went to the store on the Sunday in ques-
ton. to buy piece of ice. He saw the
defendants saloon open and several per-
sons on the inside drinking whiskey
This was the states only witness in the
Schroeder case, but his testimony was
positive.

A SETTLEMENT PROBABLE.
Relic Lucas Case VIII Not Probably
Go to Trial,

The case of Belle Lucas against the
Florida Central and Peninsular Railway
Company. assigned for trial in the City
Court this morning, will probably be
passed, with a view to settlement. Ne
gotiations are on and there is every prob
ability of a settlement, although none
has yet been made.
The Lucas case has been in the courts
since 1886 and the records are quite bulky.
The plaintiff was injured in the wreck
at Anderson on May Ii, 1896, and filed
suit for $4,000 damages on the following
October. She alleged that she had been
seriously and permanently injured, and
expert testimony was introduced in the
case.
On June 10, 1897, jury returned a ver-
dict in favor of the plaintiff in the sum
of $1,000 The case was taken to the
Supreme Court and new trial was Sc
cured. Since then the action had been
dormant. The plaintiff is represented by
Mr.. r. r. Richards, Mr.. w. r. Leaken
and Mr.. c.. s. Hardee. The case was
taken to the higher court by Mr. S. B.
Adams.

TO MAMIE AN ORDIN AIRY.
Commissioners VIII Probably Select
MIR. Frank KeiIbach.

At the July meeting of the County Com
mdssioners this afternoon Mr.. Frank e.
Keilbach will probably be named for the
ad interim term as ordinary. to succeed
Judge Thomas Screven. deceased. Mr..
Keilbach filed his application with Clark
Butler yesterday morning and. too, will
be candidate before the people. when a
general election is held.
The matter will probably be discussed
by the commissioners at length, but 1t is
not likely that any date will be agreed
upon for the holding of a general election.
There is a general disposition to delay
this as long as possible. and 1t is not be-
lieved that the fight will be made before
October.
The friends of Capt. Henry McAlpin and
Mr.. William p. Bailey are quite active,
and have already begun to make a can
vass of the voters. There was some talk
on the streets yesterday of holding a
white primary. but it is not thought that
anything will come of this matter, al.
though the candidates would probably be
willing. This would mean two elections
and an extra expense.

show that Colson had been guilty of the
act, or knew anything about it.
Colson's witnesses gave him a good rep
utation, and a fairly good abb was set
up In his statement to the jury Colson
denied the crime and said that it had
been fastened upon him by some enemy.
In his opinion some one else had set
the place on fire, expecting him to be
arrested for the crime. The prisoner de-
clared that he did not know of the fire
until he went to open his restaurant at
the regular hour in the morning. Colson
stated that before he took charge of the
restaurant it had been used as a Sunday
entrance to a saloon. He had stopped
persons going into the bar through his
place when he took charge.

b. F. Colson was acquitted in the Su-

Mr.. T. B. Masters notified the police

Mrs. Masters said that she heard peo-

he pooh-poohed her fears and nothing
was done. After daylight, however, 1t

the marks were plainly to be seen. as
were also those of a bucket. An exam

COMPLAIN OF DOUBLE FARES.
Ten Cents From BrOughton Street
to Bolton Junction.

10 Boiton junction
Shoppers and others are complaining
of the double fares on the Broughton, St.
Julian and Habersham street car line.
They have been accustomed, when board
ing cars on Broughton street, to be car
ried out st. Julian and Habersham
streets for one fare. They are now
charged two fares A person taking a
car at Bull street pays one fare to the
market The car register is turned back
at that point and the conductors begin
again to collect fares.
With such a condition of affairs shop
pers are forced to walk from Broughton
to So. Julian street, or pay 10 cents for
a short haul. During the management
of Mr.. II. NJ. Lotion similar complaint
was made, and the matter was soon
Strengthened out to the satisfaction Of the
public and the merchants.
General Manager MeIntire who was
spoken to about the matter yesterday,
SAID that he doubted If such thing had
happened. Persons who board the cars
west Of Drayton street are permitted to
ride to the Bolton street junction for
single fare, he said, and the conductors
not only have orders to that effect, but
carry them out.
passenger, however, cannot ride from
the Bolton street junction or from any
point east of Drayton street past the
city market, without paying two fares
under the present rule. Mr. McIntire stat
ed that the conductors are not expected
to collect fares again until Drayton and
st. Julian streets have been passed. The
fares are in nearly every instance collect
ed west of that point, however.
Although Manager McIntire says that
but one fare is to be collected from a
passenger who boards a car west of Dray-
ton street the conductors claim that they
have orders to the contrary. A citizen
who boarded a car at Bull and Broughton
streets a day or two ago, and was forced
to pay 10 cents to ride to the Bolton
street junction complained of the matter
at the company's office. and was told that
the conductor had acted under orders in
collecting the extra fare.
Several other passengers who boarded
a car on Broughton street and paid their
fares were called on for a second fare
after passing the market Some of them
paid but others refused and were allowed
to ride. While General Manager McIn-
tyre says his orders are not to collect
two fares between Drayton street and
Bolton street junction, 1t seems to be the
practice of conductors to collect them
when they can.
