hearing until next Friday at 1 o'clock, several of the witnesses summoned for the prosecution being absent when the case was called.
 President Kates is the first man to be arrested charged with cruelty since the organization of the society It is alleged that he has a mule in service which has sore knee and that it is cruelty to drive this mule. He admits that the mule has sore knee but makes the following statement:
 "I have been connected with humane work for a number of years and any vet enary surgeon will tell you that it Is much better for horse or mule to be driven with sore knee than to be left idle in the stable.
 If the animal Is not exercised the scab will form over the sore and when it is placed at work again the sore will be stiff and the scab will break, thus pro- longing the pain and suffering of the an inal. If it is kept at work the scab will form and there will be no breaking or stiffness. It is not considered a violation of the humane laws to drive a horse in this condition
 "I was arrested at the instigation of the opposition. If you were in court you noticed that none of the prosecuting wit nesses were present. Judge Feagin asked If I wanted the case mol pressed and I said I did not, wishing to prove in open court that I am not guilty of any cru city. The entire matter was done through malice"
 Prince Robinson, a negro dray driver, A J. Hall of the Union Transfer com pany and others are named as the wit nesses in the case.

RAILROAD WORLD.

c. s. McManus, the new general super fntendent of the western district of the Southern railway, with headquarters at Chattanooga, says the Birmingham divi- sion, under the superintendence of c. s. Hayden, is in excellent shape-in better shape now than 1t has been in six months Some of the divisions in the western districts have more mileage than the Birmingham division but on account of the heavy tonnage originating here this division is regarded by the high of ficials as the one requiring the greatest skill in handling.
 R. c. Hicks, commercial agent of the Seaboard Air-Line, had hoped to be in his new office in the Ward building by the first of October but the furniture which he recently ordered will not be finished for two or three weeks and it will be the 10th of October before the move from his present quarters is made.
 A dispatch from Wilmington. N C., where offices of the Atlantic Coast Line are located, says:
 There is fresh talk of a merger of the southern, the Alld0tlC CoaSt Line ana the Louisville and Nashville under the Connecticut charter of the Atlantic Coast Line
 Persons in a position to know the facts state that such merger will take place in the near future, and the story has been printed here as if given out au- thoritatively.
 It is understood that the general plan of the Northern Securities company will be followed and that the merger will be completed as soon as the legal ob- jections to that corporation are dissolved.
 All the head officials of the Coast Line system have been in New York for the past week in conference with Harry Wal ters, the vice-president of the system. MT Walters is said to be the largest holder of Coast Line stock and was the chief figure in the deal by which the Coast Line secured the lines of the Plant system.
 It is believed confidently among rail- road men here that the proceedings of the conference will be given out in the next few days, and that important an- nouncements will be made on the return of the high officials from New York Those who have returned will say noth- ing as to what was done at the confer ence.

Latter Probably Carried County

15 PRECINCTS GIVE HIM 882
There Are Thirty Yet to Hear From Which Will Probably Increase His Majority to 15oo--Very
 Little Enthusiasm.

The vote in the primary for attorney general yesterday was exceedingly light in this county, and In the count both candidates will fall several hundred votes short of the first primary, but the indications are that Alexander M. Gar Der has carried Jefferson county by about 1900 majority over Massey Wilson.
 This election will probably go down in history as being one of the quietest ever participated in by the voters of Jefferson county. There were no disturbances of any nature. Very little interest has been manifested. except by personal friends of the two candidates.
 Following is the unofficial vote as re- eeived last night;
