RATE MUST BE CHANGED.
Judge Speer's Decision Sustained by
Dismissal of Appeal

The mandate of the United States
Circuit Court reciting the dismissal of
the appellants appeal in the case of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and others, against the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad. will be filed in the
office of the clerk OF the Circuit Court
to-day, and the judgment of Judge
Speer, sustaining the contentious of
the compliments will be made the
judgment of the court.
The case had been pending for near
ly two years. The plaintiffs commended
that the defendants Disseminated
against Savannah by putting the
freight rates SO high as to force the
export trade to Pensacola, instead of
Savannah. The trade, which would
otherwise have come to Savannah, was
carried to Pensacola, by reason of the
prohibitivesrate existing between John
ston Station and Savannah.
Judge Speer rendered his decision in
favor of the plaintiff on the grounds
of complaint, and ordered a reduction
in the rates, specifying the amount in
each instance. The plaintiffs Were rep
resented by Mr.. w. w. Gordon, Jr

WERE 0EMLER'S OYSTERS
So Decided Jury in Verdict which
Was Opened Yesterday Morning.

When the City Court convened YES
terday morning, the verdict in the case
of John Bevins against Capt. August
Oemler, was opened and read, it hav-
ing been returned sealed on the day
before. 1t was found that the Jury
had rendered its decision in favor of
the defendant.
The suit was instituted by Bevins
for the recovery of $500, which amount
he claimed he was damaged by the ac-
ton of the defendants agent in COM
polling him to throw boat-load of
oysters back into the water, at the
point of a gun.
The plaintiff contended that the oys-
ters were legitimately tonged, and that
the defendant had no right to them
or to force him to throw them back
into the water. The jury evidently
thought that the contention of the de-
PENDANT, that the oysters were tonged
on his private beds, was true. for il
found that the plaintiff was entitled
to nothing.
The plaintiff was represented by
Beckett & Beckett, and the defendant
by w. w. Gordon, Jr., and Osborne &

ONLY A SUGGESTION,
but IL Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become fieshy and
plump it can only result from the
food we eat and digest and that food
should be albuminous or flesh forming
food, like eggs, beeksteak and GER
calls; in other words, the kinds of food
that make flesh are the foods which
form the greater part of our daily bills
of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much. the
stomach, from abuse and overworI<.
does not properly digest and assimi-
late II, which is the reason so many
people remain thin and under weight;
the digestive organs do not complete
~ digest the flesh forming beefsteak
aid eggs and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who
are really confirmed dyspeptics, all
though they may have no particular
pain or Inconvenience from their
stomachs.
II such persons would lay their
phejudices aside and make a regular
practice of taking, after each meal,
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's the food would be quickly and
thoroughly digested, because these tab
iets contain the natural peptones and
Glastase which every weak stomach

stomach is soon enabled to regain it's
katural tone and Vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every form of forming food meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this is
the reason they so quickly build up.

peptic men. women and children.
lnvalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong. irritating

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
most successful and most widely
known of any remedy for stomach

enable and scientific of modern medi-
cines.

WHY SAVANNAH BOYS DO
NOT HAVE L0CKJAW.

Dispatches to the Morning News
from Norfolk, Charleston and else
where IN the last few days have told
of numerous deaths of children from
lockjaw, resulting from burns caused
by toy pistols. The death list in Nor
folk has reached seventeen. The dis
patches have caused much comment,
and the fact that no such deaths have
occurred here has brought forth some
speculation as to the reason.
A well known physician explained
yesterday that there are two reasons
In the first place, the use OF the type
OF toy pistol which caused the wounds
from which the fatalities resulted, was
prohibited in Savannah shortly after
the pistols were put on the market.
The authorities realized the danger to
the children using the pistols, as well
as the danger to the public, the TOYS
being cheaply constructed and so con-
structed as to permit of pebbles and
sticks being fired from the barrel. Con-
sequently, only firecracks, roman cam
dies, torpedo sticks and the like were
used, with less injury to hands,
In the second place, the lockjaw
germs do not thrive in this sandy sell
as they do in the loamy soil of the
cities in which the deaths have oc-
CURED The tetanus bacilli, the physi-
clan explained, that in soil have the
property of changing organized nitro
genous matter into free nitrogen, and
which are in the dirt and dust the
children get on their hands while at
play, infect the human system through
the pistol wounds and change the or
ganlzed heterogeneous matter of the hui
man economy into free nitrogen, which
condition of the system is incompatible
with the existence of human life. The
result is lockjaw. The danger of lock-
jaw in this sandy region is not great,
and few deaths from 1t ever occurred
here The germs do not exist at all
in sea beach sand.

MANY MAKE APPLICATION
For Government Positions in Con-

For Government Positions In Con-
nectiOn with tile Dredging.
Capt Cassius f. Gillette has been
besieged with applications for posi-
tons for work in connection with the
dredging which is now being done in
the Savannah harbor. Fully 100 APP
plicatioRs for employment as super
visors, inspectors. recorders, etc. have
been filed in the last few days and
they contiaue to come in by mail and
in person.
The work in the harbor contemplates
the expenditure of more than S,0OO,OOO
and will occupy fully two years. For
that reason the applicants think there
are many positions to be filled by the
Engineer Department. There are,
however, only a few positions to be
assigned by the department, and those
who have been engaged in the work in
the past, and have given satisfaction
in their work. will be given preference
in making the appointments.
bc,Ieading dahpit shrdlu mvfwy cmbm
Nearly all of those who have applied
are Savannah men. The contractors
for the work have brought with them
skilled help, and will. themselves, need
very little assistance, with the eXcep-
ton of common laborers to work ON
the dredges. Most of the applications
are made by those who have read in
the newspapers of the great amount of
work which is to be done. The APP
plications have been filed, and, in the
event any help is needed. they will be
taken under Amusement.
In Fernandina the construction of
the jetty, which has been in progress
for many months, is nearing compile
ton. AS soon as this is finished, ii is
expected that the influx of applica-
tons will be even greater than at
present.

in the preparation of his report, as
member of the Board of Examiners,

pose of determining the practicability
