HELD UP BY INJUNCTION.

Justice Bevans Restrained From Ex-
ecuting a Judgment Against Rail-
way Co.
An injunction from the Superior
Court was served upon Justice Bevans
and officers of his court yesterday, re-
straining them from executing judg-
ment against the Southern Railway, in
a suit for damages in the sum of 800.
and in which the justice had, rendered
a verdict against the railway in favor
of ]. H. Witherspoon.
The injunction was brought by A. A.
Lawrence, Esq, of Osborne & Law
renee, who alleged in his application
for the injunction to Judge BARROW,
that he had, previous to the trial of the
case, made request that any and all
cases in which he or mis- firm were in
terested. be postponed until after Jan.
Fl, and that contrary to his request the
case was heard by the justice and a
verdict rendered against the railway
company which he represented. with
out his knowledge and without the rail-
road having legal representation.
Upon this ground the injunction was
granted and served upon the justice
ted that Mr.. Lawrence had made such
request, but said that he did not know
the attorney was in any manner con-
nected as legal representative of the
Southern Railway, thinking that the
request referred to several cases pend
ing against the Savannah Electric
Company, and in which he knew Mr..
Lawrence to be related as attorney.
Had he known that the attorney rep
resented the Southern Railway he
would have deferred a hearing of
the case until such a time as suited his
convenience.
The case is one in which J. H. With
erspoon, stockman and owner of
race horses, sued the railway for dam
ages. On Dec. % he contracted with
the railway to transport himself and
a horse from Charleston to Savannah.
After the contract was made he was
delayed in starting by the railroad, and
after getting on the road, was again
delayed in arriving here.
The case was heard and the railway
company, not being represented and
the court not being aware that ii was
one OF the cases referred to by Mr..
Lawrence, passed upon it, allowing
damages TO plaintiff.
The case viii probably be remanded
back for another trial at such a time
as Mr.. Lawrence or his associate can
be present and conduct a defense
Judge Bevans said that Mr. Lawrence
did not tell him in his request that this
case was one in which he was inter-
asted.

AS JUDGE SPEER'S SUCCESSOR
Capt. Cunningham Talked of in
Event of n Vacancy.

Capt. Cunningham Talked of in
Event of n Vacancy.
The statement that the name of
Judge Emory Speer would be presented
to President Roosevelt for the success
sion to the associate justiceship of the
Circuit Court of Appeals of the Fifth
District, soon to be vacated by the re-
tirement of Judge Andrew P. McCor-
mick, has given rise to considerabl BILE
speculation, as to the probable APP
pointee to fill the bench which in that
event would be left vacant by him.
Report has it that Capt. H. c. Cum
ningham has been mentioned in con-
nection with the appointment While
the report cannot be confirmed, it is
believed that Capt. Cunningham s
name, if suggested, would be favora-
bly, considered by the President. both
on account of the friendly relations
which his partner, Col. A. r. Lawton
bears toward Mr.. Roosevelt and on
account of his ability as a lawyer and
a jurist.
Capt. Cunningham was seen last
night and asked for a statement rela-
1--WE 10 the matter. He declined to say
anything, as also did Col. Lawton
The name of United States District
Attorney Marion Erwin has also been
mentioned in connection with the
place. He is a lawyer of marked abil-
ity, who mainly through his connection
with the Greene-Gaynor case, is in
close touch with the authorities at
Washington. He has many friends who
would use their influence in his be-
half.
Though the discussion of the proba-
BILE successor of Judge Speer would
seem little premature in the light of
the fact that his appointment to sue
coed Judge Mccormick has not been
made, reports are nevertheless current.
This is probably induced by Judge
Speer's fitness for the Circuit Court
ermine, his friends contending, despite
the persistent report that the President
would appoint Texan to the place,
that his chances for the appointment
are very good, and that his name is be-
ing favorahly considered by the Pres
ident.
Judge Speer has been on the District
Court bench for nearly eighteen years,
and is recognized everywhere as a
learned Judge, an able jurist and an
orator of great force on legal and ma
tional topics.

to whom the ancient method seems less
wicked because more humane and
conservative in its operation and di-

tending its indulgence.
With this disclaimer, permit me to
point out a few inaccuracies in your
statement of yesterday
So far from having been forced into

voluntarily and without any require
ment of honor or duty-so far as ever
could be learned-accepted a challenge
that had been sent by Cash to Sham
mons law partner. who had reflected
on the integrity of the wife of Cash.
AT the date of the duel between
them, Cash was the senior of his an
tagonist by nearly two years; his eye
slght was so much impaired by age
that he was compelled to use double
lenses in order to aim his weapon and
on account of his deafness, it was nee
essary to fire pistol as a signal for
the opening of the combat. Nor was
there any "firing into the air" by
either combatant The story that
Shannon did so fire, being a mere fic-
ton, invented to give venom to the Ii
bells against Cash, with which certain
newspapers of the state teemed for
months afterwards.
In the legal investigation that en-
sued Cash calmly and candidly sub
mitted his conduct to the scrutiny of
court and jury; but beyond this was
unable to give his Vindication further
publicity. The leading newspapers of
the state refused to admit to their
columns his bold and manly explana-
ton of the wrongs that Influenced him
to send the challenge, and of the facts
that attended the meeting with Shan
non; and he was compelled to put his
account of the affair in the form of a
pamphlet, which necessarily had linn
tied circulation. and only one copy of
which is, so far as 1 know, in exist
ence to-day.
The parties were equally brave,
equally sensitive to insult and wrong,
and the conduct of both was in strict
accordance with the sentiment and
custom that had for generations regu-
lated the conduct of honorable men in
the state of South Carolina In view
of these considerations, and of the
more recent method now somewhat
prevalent in that state, it may seem to
some curious question whether the
condemnation of Cash and the aboli-
ton of ''the code" have lead to more
humane methods and more honorable
rules of life and conduct in that COM

Will Be Placed on Retired List With
Rank of Lieut.. Colonel.
In answer to a communication from
Col. w. G. Obear, inspector general,
Maj John Schwarz has accepted an in
vitation to be. placed on the retired roll
of the Georgia State Troops, with rank
of lieutenant colonel, so that hereafter
Col. Schwarz is the proper address.
Col. Schwarz was formerly on the re-
tired roll of the state with the rank
of major, which was vacated when he
accepted a commission on the staff of
Gov. Gambler. The commission as aide
de-camp expires, by law, Feb. l, and
it is now his privilege to be placed
again on the roll with higher rank.
Col. Schwarz has been a conspicuous
figure in military affairs for many
years, having been in the service since
1859, when he enlisted in the German
Volunteers. He was with the Thirty
second Georgia Regiment during the
Civil War. He was made captain of
the German Volunteers in 1876 and
held that post for three years. He was
major of the First Volunteer Regi-

The reports from vessels passing in
or out will be made by the United
States signal code of flags governing
merchant vessels. The code is per-
feet in all details and every condition,
length of voyage and etc, being trans
mitted to the shore without trouble.
This, of course, applies to vessels pass
ing close in, but if the wireless sys-
tenn is installed those passing to the
east and south of the island at any
great distance can send in their re-
ports by the above system providing
they are equipped with instruments.
The lighthouse at Sand Key is one
of the finest structures in the service.
1t is of stone and has braved the
bowling winds and dashing seas for
many years, at many times the water
being so high and furious that il
breaks clear up to the light 100 feet
or more in hight. The keeper of this
lonesome spot of Uncle Sans terri
tory is one of the best paid men in the
lighthouse service. He is given a
comfortable home in the light house
which is so arranged that the base and
middle parts of the structure form his
abode. He has nothing to want for in
the shape of supplies and the better
part of the time has a quiet and snug
little island, practically al his own,
with a gentle breeze and languishing
tide. Then at times it is different. He
must seek the strong breastwork of
the lighthouse and remain there with
his family until the wind and tide
ceases. In coed weather it is a pleas
ant trip across to Key West and the
better part of the time these trips are
made daily or weekly at his disposal
Now Uncle Sam proposes to give the
light keeper company by sending over
an observer of the weather, who, If he
is single, can live alone, or if he has a
family provides living room for them.
Sand Key has a sad history. In the
year 1874 one Capt. G. Williams, the
keeper of the light there, left his fam
lily for the island and city of Key West
on business for the day. 1t consisted
of a wife and several children. Dur
ing his absence a hurricane came up
and blew for two days, preventing him
from getting back to his post He had
no fear for the light being kept prop
erly, but he was uneasy for his wife
and loved ones on this desolated and
bleak spot. The second day the wealth
er abated so that he could return
Nothing but ruin greeted him. The
lighthouse which had been of brick, had
tumbled down, and not a vestige of the
ruins remained, except a few scattered
brick imbedded in the sand. His fam
lily had been drowned, and their bodies
cast out into the deep blue waters of
the Gulf for their earthly resting place
The present lighthouse is the creation
after this catastrophe. 1t has with
stood water and wind for nearly half
century, and is to-day one of the
most welcome guiding lights to marin
ers Uncle Sam has in his service. The |
Weather Bureau and Meteorological Sta
ton will add to it's importance, and
from this time on Sand Key will cut a
great figure in the commercial inter-
ests of America.
