Verdict Returned Against Telephone
COmpany-WaycrOss News.


Waycross, Ga, April 24.-The jury
in the damage case of Mrs. Amelia
Heidi, against the Southern Telephone
Company, and the Satilla Manufactur-
ing Company, at 800 o'clock this morn
ing, returned a verdict for $4,000
against the telephone company. The
Satila Manufacturing Comapny was
relieved from all blame in the death of
Mr.. r. E. Heidi by electrocution In
this city last May.
After consuming the time of Ware
Superior Court for three days, the dam
age suit went to the jury at o'clock
last night. Until a late hour the court
officials were present at the court room
awaiting a verdict, finally deciding that
no verdict would be agreed upon dur
ing the night. When court opened this
morning, and it was learned that the
jury had not yet reached an agree
ment, it was believed that a mistrial
was inevitable, but a short time later
the verdict was returned.
The attorneys for the telephone COM
pany will, in all probability, carry the
case to the Supreme Court.
Court adjourned at o'clock this aft
ernoon until Monday, when the suit
for $4,000 brought against Mayor
George r. Youmans. brought by W. e.
Calhoun, will be taken up.
The application of George F. Gilbert's
attorneys to have his sentence "vacat-
ed" will also be heard by Judge Par
ker on Monday.
Two murder cases are to be heard
next week, one against Jim Little, for
killing his brother with a fence rail,
and the other against James r. Spence,
for killing a small negro girl at Wares
boro in 1900.
Rev r. A. Brown, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church. will preach to all
the Odd Fellows in WayCross next
Sunday night. The three lodges in this
city will attend the services in a body.
Capt. D. G. Purse of Savannah was
in Waycross this morning for the pur-
pose of securing bids for the erection
of the buildings for the government
experimental sugar cane station, which
is to be erected in this city. The plans
of the station have been drawn, and
Capt Purse will ask for bids for the
early construction of the building. The
main building of the station will he
three stories high, and will cover a
space of 30x40 feet. Attached to the
main structure will be several smaller
buildings and sheds. Capt. Purse says
that about $4,000 will be appropriated
for the building and machinery, and
an equal sum will be on hand to carry
on the operations at the station for
the first year.

FELL THREE STORIES.
w. ID. Austin Died From the Injuries
He Received.


Macon, April 24-W. D. Austin,
Familiarity known as Buck" Austin,
fell from the third story window of
Mallory Taylor's drug store building
to-day, and died in Is minutes from
the injuries sustained. His skull was
broken at the base of the brain, and
his right jawbone was broken. His
left wrist was broken.
1t is evidently a case where a man
leaned against a window, lost his bal
ance and tumbled out backwards. The
coroners jury thought it was suicide,
but it based it's opinion on the state
ment of a child, who said he saw the
man stand in the window, look up and
down the street, raise his hands above
his head and jump. The inconsistency
of this is shown by the fact that the
body fell against an awning, imme-
diately under his window, and knock
ed it down.
Austin was reared in Fort Valley.
He was night engineer for the South
ern Railway at this point, and was
employed in the yards. He was I'M
married.
The room from which he fell to his
death was his sleeping room.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
What Bradstreet Finds to Cheer in
the Situation.


the Situation.
New York. April 24.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade and industry progress well, de-
spite drawbacks in the shape of nu-
merous labor troubles and cool, back
ward weather conditions in some sec
tions. Retail trade, as a whole, is fair.
Collections continue slow, but steadily
improve. Manufacturing industry was
never so active, except perhaps in the
textile trades, where few labor trou-
b1es limit cotton goods production, but
in iron and steel. lumber, shoe manu-
featuring, machinery and a multitude
of other lines, production was close to
the maximum.
Railroad earnings continue large.
The shutdown of Northwestern flour
mills proved to be only temporary, and
the point sought, lower rates for the
product, has evidently been gained.
judging from the increased outgo of
flour from nearly all shipping centers.
With the natural lull in wholesale
trade has come some discussion as 10
the fall trade prospects in this branch
OF business, but it is worth noting that
fair volume of orders for fall de-
livery already has been booked, and
the only backwardness noted is in
heavyweight woolens.
The effect of the present high prices
of cotton on the manufacturing branch
Is not entirely favorable. Buyers of
cotton goods are holding back and are
very slow to commit themselves.

No Executive CIemency For Perry.
News From Atlanta.
Atlanta, April 24.-Gov. Terrell to-
day refused to commute the sentence Of
John Perry of Dalton, who is under
sentence of death for the murder of an
employee of Robinsons circus, named
Walker. This is the second time the
case has been passed on, the Prison
Commission declining both times to
recommend executive clemency. Perry
was granted a respite some time ago
until May, and that is the date on
which he Will be hanged, unless the
execution is still further postponed, as
the result of efforts to show that he is
insane. 1t is said a physician has made
an affidavit to this effect and the
courts will be asked to pass upon it.
Perry is a white man, and much In
terest has been taken in his case.
CIaxton Bank Chartered.
Secretary of State Phil Cook to-day
granted a charter to the Bank of Clax-
ton in Tattnall county. The bank has
a capital of $4,000. and it's charter APP
plicants are c. A. Grice, Eli Bullocn,
and ]. NJ. Collins, all of Tattnall
county.
Officers as Delegates.
Gov. Terrell has appointed Col. w.
G. Obear, inspector general; Col. G..
A. Gordon of Savannah, and Capt.
Marion Turner of Tennille. a commit
tee to represent Georgia at the coming
rNf hn Int foAA RIotf noI
Guard Association at Columbus. o., on
May 4. This will be the first time
Georgia has ever been represented at
the meetings of this association. Its
work in behalf of the state troops all
over the country, in securing favorable
legislation from Congress and increased
appropriations has been most valuable.
Later Georgia branch of the assoc1a-
ton will be organized.
Commissions Are Issued.
Among the military commissions is
sued to-day from the office of the the
adjutant general were the following:
Col. j. A. Quinn of Conyers, surgeon
general; Lieut.. Col. G. w. Brown of
Atlanta, assistant surgeon general;
James w. Bailey first lieutenant,
company F, Fourth Infantry, Way
cross.
viii Cease Operations.
The Georgia Industrial Fire Insur-
ance Company and the Georgia In
demnity Fire Insurance Company to-
day notified Controller General Wright,
through their officials, that they would
cease doing business in the state until
they had arranged to comply with the
insurance laws. Though they have had
offices in Georgia, they have written
policies only in other states. 1t is re-
quired, nevertheless, that they comply
with the Georgia laws.
Goes to Attorney General.
The point was made to-day by a rep
resentative of the Georgia and Ala
bama Steamboat Company, which runs
small line of steamers between
Rome, Ga, and Gadsden, Ala, that
the state can not force steamboat
companies to return franchises for
taxation, where such companies do an
interstate business. because they de-
rive their right to navigate the waters
of the country from the United States
statutes, and their charters from the
state add nothing to their special privi-
leges. The point is a new one on the
Controller General, and he has refer
red it to Attorney General John c.
Hart for an opinion.
