UNCLE MING0 FILES
SUIT FOR $1,000.

Mingo Turner, an old negro who, I'M
til recently was in the employ of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway, instituted
suit for $1,000 damages against that
company in the City Court yesterday
Turner sets forth that he was en-
gagged in loading a lighter, the gang
way in use being on a steep incline.
Two men, who had been stationed at
the head of the gangway to assist the
truckmen in retarding the downward
progress of the ladened trucks, neg
lected to catch his truck, which was
loaded with 600 pounds of bacon. and
as a result he was precipitated at
lightning speed down the plank. Min
go saw that he and the bacon were
both about to be consigned to the Sa-
Vannah river, and in his endeavor to
turn the truck from it's perilous course
he turned it over. and the whole GOO
pounds landed on his leg.
AS a result of the injury he was con-
fined to his bed for six months. and
had to have one leg amputated. At
the time of the accident he was GO
years of age, and says he was earning
$1.25 a day. The accident he says, Is
attributable alone to the negligence of
the agents of the defendant company.

WAR ON CAB DRIVERS.

Disorder Around De Soto Puts PO-
lice Into Activity.
Because two cabmen almost COM
mitted an assault upon a stranger, in
an effort to relieve him of his baggage,
the police have begun a war on cab
drivers and those who do not drive
in straight line will have a hard
time of it.
There has been considerable COM
plant about cabmen in the vicinity of
the De Soto and the fight for a fare
occurred in that locality. The fight,
following as it did on the heels of COM
perintendent of police to issue stringent
orders to his men and within a short
time three cabmen were prisoners at
the police station house.
The owner of one. of the cabs call
ed at the station house for the pur-
pose of furnishing bail for his drivers
appearance in Police Court and be-
came engaged in a wordy alteration
with a negro in the stables. He was
docketed for cursing the stableman and
will also appear before Recorder My
rick this morning.
The cab drivers have been ignoring,
too, the law which requires that the
number of their cab shall be painted
distinctly on the glass of the side
lamps. A hackman, with apparent in
tention, nearly ran down a bicycle
rider on Congress street, in front of
Johnson Square, yesterday afternoon.
When his cab was searched for it's
number the only number visible was
on a torn scrap of paper on which
was scrubbed in lead pencil what the
driver said was 1885," pasted on the in
side of one lamp. The number might
have been almost anything, so far as
its IegibiIity went

ENGINEER PIERCE'S RELICT
ASKS $4,000 DAMAGES.
Suit Instituted Against $. A. l.. as
Result of Evergreen Accident.

Suit Instituted Against s. A. l.. as
Result of Evergreen Accident.
A suit for the recovery of $4,000
damages against the Seaboard Air
Line has been instituted by Mrs. Mary
Pierce, relict of Edwin S. Pierce, the
locomotive engineer who was killed in
a wreck which occurred on the road
of the defendant company several
weeks ago.
The account of the tragedy appeared
in the Morning News. Mrs. Pierce
alleges that the train was moving at
a rapid rate of speed, made necessary
by the schedule, when it ran into an
open switch, derailing the engine and
pinioning her husband under the cab.
He sustained fractures of the skull
from which he died two days later.
The accident, she submits, was alto
gether attributable to the negligence
Of the railroad company. 1t was re-
ported shortly after the accident that
the switch had been thrown open by
a young white boy named Buddie
Ryals. No mention is made of this in
the suit, and it is presumed that the
counsel for the compliments will dis
credit the report in presenting the
case.
Mrs. Pierce says that her husband
was 81 years of age, and had a rea-
sonable expectancy of more than eigh-
teen years. He was earning an aver
age of $3.50 a month. In addition to
the pecuniary damage, she says that
she has been deprived of the comfort
and society of her husband and his
influence in rearing their children.
The plaintiff is represented by Twiggs
& Oliver who filed the suit in the
city yesterday.

Ink Scarcely Cold On Marriage Ii
cense Before Mrs. Rowland Asks
For AIimOny.
Less than two weeks since the nup-
tial knot was tied, Mrs. Mary E. Row.
land has applied to the Superior Court
for alimony. The case is a most un-
usual one.
In her application she sets forth that
she came to Savannah from her home
in Danville, Ill, in response to com
munications from John Rowland.
When he met her at the train he pro-
posed immediate marriage; she resist
ed; he insisted; she faltered; he per
sisted: she consented; and they were
married. The next morning he told
her he would have no more to do with
her, handed her enough money to pay
her expenses home, and told her to
leave Savannah.
But" she says in her application,
your petitioner does not care to face
her folks owing to the circumstances
surrounding the whole affair, and the
embarrassment which it would cause
for her to return home now" She
says her husband earns 800 a month,
and asks that from his wages suit
able amount be allowed her for al
imony, since she is in a strange city
without money or friends. She is
represented by W. D. Morgan.

STOMACH TROUBLES.

That serious stomach troubles can
be cured, no one who is acquainted
with modern methods of treatment can
doubt. A striking illustration of what
can be done is afforded in the case of
Mr.. Joseph Pominville, one of the most
prominent business men in Saltwater,
MINI. After having spent $4,000 with
the best doctors for a stomach trouble
without relief, he was advised to try
a box of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets, which he did, and is
a we'll man to-day. If you have any
trouble with your stomach give these
Tablets a trial and you are certain to
find them to be just what you need.
