A False Alarm

Colon, Nov. 13.-Cutters from the Am
erican's warships here were despatched
this Morning to stop the German steamer
Markomania which was seen two mi, ,es
off, tawing launch towards the harbor.
1t was thought that the Markomania was
coming from Colombian port, but it APP
pears that she had been chartered at
Bocas Del Toro to bring the Alcalde of
that port to Colon. There was big scare
at Bocas Del Toro on the receipt of news
via Port Limon, Costa Rica, that the Co
lombian government was sending 5000
troops to the new republic, and the Al
calde left on the Markomania for Colon
for the purpose of obtaining arms and am
nunition with which to equip volunteers
to resist the expected Colombian attack.
The Alcalde, however, has returned to
Bocas Del Toro to allay the fears OF the
populace and to give assurance that the
landing Of Colombian troops there will
not be permitted.

days hearing the case of the Greensboro
Ice ana Goa! Company against the South
ern Railway, adjourned tonight The en-
tire day was consumed in the examination
of witnesses, the attorneys in the case ad-
dressing the commission briefly just before
adjournment. 1t is contended by the rail
road that the Corporation Commission
has no right to force a railroad company
to build side track off of its right OF
way, or place cars on a track already
built. Another contention of the railroad
is that the Corporation Commission has
no right to make an order affecting ship
ments from without the State. Both OF
these contentious are denied by the ice
and coal company.

FALSE WEIGHTS cEA AaGED.
Suit Brought Against Charles Kluttz, Mana
ger Of Ginnery.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Salisbury, n. c., Nov. 13.-An unusual
suit has been instituted in this county
against Mr.. Charles Kluttz. manager of
a cotton ginning esta blishment near Sails
bury, for false weights. 1t is alleged that
he has been defrauding his customers this
fall out of hundreds and perhaps thous-
ands of pounds of seed cotton, which had
been hauled to his ginnery. The suit was
brought yesterday by Mr.. j. 7. Walser, a
farmer living east of this place, who
claims that on several occasions he has
weighed his load of cotton before taking
it to the Kluttz gin, where the weights
have varied from fifty to two hundred
pounds in loads OF 1000 pounds to 1,400
pounds. 1t was some weeks before 1T
could be positively asserted that the
weights were fraudulent. A dozen or
more other farmers living in the same
community, it is said. have met with the
same experience at this gin. and a dozen
or more indictments are to follow. The
law requires that all scales must be ex-
amined one every two years by the
county keeper of standard weights and
measures but it is learned that this
statute has not been complied with in
this case. The case was on yesterday
moved from before Justice F. M. Lampkin,
of Spencer. upon an affidavit of the de-
fendant, and will be heard next week be-
fore Justice Pesperman, though 1t Is con-
ceded that it will go to the higher courts

not guilty is returned.
No judgment has yet been given by

are expected to be IN the neighborhcod

for the defense. The attorneys for the
defense who were present yesterday when
the motion was made are Messrs. ~. NJ.

Among the other events of the day was
the case of John NJ. Crenshaw against
C. M. Rogers. The plaintiff claimed that
Rogers had borrowed $500 from him sew
eral years ago, and had paid back only
$2C0, the remaining amount of $100 it
seems Rogers had promised to pay in
January, 1900
The case had been tried by justice
OF the peace who had rendered a judg-
ment in favor of the defendant taxing
the plaintiff with all costs incurred in
the trial, from which judgment the plain
tiff appealed to the Superior court
The attorney for Rogers moved for
new trial, claiming that due notice OF an
appeal had not been given him. Judge
PEBBLES, after considering 1t, refused the
motion. The plaintiff then asked for Il
judgment for the recovery of 500, which
he proved by letters in which the defend
ant had promised to pay him that
amount.
A Judgment was rendered awarding the
plaintiff 500, and ordering the defendant
to pay the costs.
In the case of Mrs. Margaret Devereux
against Mrs. Fannie Mitchell, for the
recovery of land in the northwestern part
OF Raleigh township, both sides cOnsid-
cred and adjudged that the land belonged
to the plaintiff, and judgment was rem
dered ordering the plaintiff to pay half
the costs and the defendant to pay half.

Beuna King, divorce case, the plaintiH
entered a non-suit.
Marshall Partin, in his case against
Nat Franks and Mills Manufacturing
Company, was adjudged 800 with interest
