Duly Renorted.

A raw countryman, having been
just enrolled as a member of the
metropolitan police force, was sta
toned on duty near a large gas
works, with instructions to take par
ticular notice of everything on his
beat, and. if he found anything miss
ing, to report the same to the SER
geant.
During the night one of the large
gasometers had been emptied, and
had sunk into its basin. On the ar
rival of the sergeant the new aRob-
ert," who was found in a state Of
great excitement, pointed to the
empty framework Of the gasometer
and said:
"Well, I don't know whether it's
all right, sir, but one%of them things
has gone."-Stray Stories.

1t Buys a Road Giving 1t Entrance
Into Birmingham, Ala.

Baltimore, May ia syndicate Of
which Ladenburg, Thalman & Co., Of
New York, are the managers, has
bought the East and West railroad Of
Alabama, from the Kelly estate, of
New York. The purchase is in the in
terest of the Seaboard Air Line, to take
that system to Birmingham, Ala.
The terminals at Birmingham are to
be secured by purchase of tho Birming-
ham belt railroad. H. M. Atkinson, of
Atlanta, bought the belt line last year
Boston. and it is a part Of the Sea-
boards plan to build short connecting
lines to unite the Seaboard with the
East and West railroad. The recon-
struction Of the latter will bring the
total cost up to $4,000. eco.
Atlanta, Ca, May 1s.-The East and
West railroad runs from Gainesville.
Ga, to Pell City, Ala, a distance of 1T
miles. From Pell City to Birmingham,
the distance is about fifty miles. The
connection from Pell City with the Biz
mingham Belt road is yet 60 be built.
1t is not believed here that the Sea-
board will build from Atlanta to Car
tersville, fifty miles, but will make the
connection with the Fast aid West in
the vicinity Of Admission, Ala, a sur-
veying party, supposedly under the di-
rection of the Seaboard having been at
work for several weeks on q route be-
tween Atlanta and Birmingham.
Richmond. Va, May 16.-President
JOIN Shelton Williams. of the Seaboard
Air Line railway, arrived in this city
this evening from Birmingham, Ala.,
n in an interview tonight regarding
the reported extension Of his system
to Birmingham, he said:
1.-THE story that Ladenburg, Thalmann
& Co. of New York. have purchased
the East and West railroad for the
Seaboard Air Line railway Is incorrect,
although it may be true that the firm
mentioned lave bought the railroad re-
ferred to for themselves and associates
and that. the latter included certain
friends of the Seaboard. AS to whether
the Seaboard Air Line railway will eve
acquire an interest in the East and
West DAD will depend entirely upon
circumstance and future conditions.
Neither the Seaboard Air Line railway
nor any Of it's people have any interest
in the Belt Line referred to. They are
not and have not been negotiating for
it and have no expectation of acquiring
it"

quested T. c. Wells, h was Brooks

used by Brooks in his business of a
milk company. Coroner Brown asked
what he intended to prove by his line
of questioning.

piled, that these labels were put or
tins of rotten milk, that the health au-
thorities interfered; that Brooks turn
ed states evidence in W. cases and saw
ed himself but as a result his business
was ruined and that he had to postpone
his marriage. I shall prove this by
Brooks letters to Florence Burns and
by reputable witnesses"

hotel practically ruined n intending
to &C nmit suicide.
The witness could not explain the
labels.

No STATE
Important Decision ms tn Federal
Navy Yards

Washington. May 1s.-Judge Adyo
cate General Lemly has received an
opinion by the attorney general TO the
effect that the plans for the navy inn
provements at Norfolk do not require
the approval Of the Virginia .harbor
line commissioners, as they contend.
The opinion as OF f~ar-reaching i'm
portance. applying to nearly all cities
where there are navy yards OF sta
lions. and constitutes another blow TO
the states rights doctrine. In this
case 1t was found necessary TO extend
the cofferdam of the new granite dry
dock at the entrance OF the dock. by
$50 feet inside the line established by
the state board Of harbor commission
ers. Although the contemplated inn
Drovement was to be on ground be-
longing to the United States. Virginia
having relinqEsshed Jurisdiction, the
board insisted that the plans for the
improvements ghouid be submitted TO
II and threatened the arrest Of Ad-
miral Cotton, the commandment of he
yard, upon his refusal to comply. They
did this under a state Law.
The attorney generals holding was
broad. 1t was in effect that congress
having been clothed with the right to
maintain a navy, a necessary part Of
the power was the maintenance OF
navy yards, while, as to the harbor it
self there was no question that the au-
thority of the United States over IL
was paramount.
