MOVERS CASE WILL PROBABLY
BE TAKEN UP TO-DAY
Involves Right of Federal Court to Protect
Its Jurisdiction

Among the cases that will come be-
fore Judge Speer in the United States
court to-day will probably be the case
of Priscilla McIver VS.. the Seaboard
Air Line Railway. This case was
assigned for Tuesday, but a con-
ference of attorneys was held last
night, and there is a possibility that
an agreement will be reached to-day to
have the case come up at once.
This will prove one of the most in
teresting cases of the entire session
of the court, as it involves the right of
the court to protect its jurisdiction. The
question of the removal of a case from
the state courts to the United States
court will be considered, and Judge
Speer will be called upon to review and
pass on a decision of the Supreme Court
of Georgia. The question at point is
whether a suit commenced in the state
court and removed to the United States
court, where it is dismissed, can be
returned to the state court in a lesser
amount of damages of. which the fed
eral court has no Jurisdiction.
ency in 1898, when Priscilla McIver
brought suit in the City Court of
Brunswick for $4,000 damages against
the Florida Central and Peninsular
Railway, now the Seaboard Air Line.
At the request of the railway COM
pany's counsel the case was transferred
to the United States court and in jan
uary, 1889, after all the evidence of
the plaintiff was in and the case came
up for trial, the plaintiffs attorney
dismissed the case. In a few days it
was brought again in the City Court
of Brunswick for S1.999. This could not
be removed to the United States court
as the amount was less than 81, 900,
which, under the rules of the federal
court, barred its being transferred
there.
The railway company demurred to
this proceeding, declaring that the suit
must be re-brought in the United
States court. Judge S. c. Atkinson,
who heard the argument on this point,
sustained the demurrer, and the plain
tiffs carried the case to the Supreme
Court. The decision of Judge Atkinson

INCREASED BUSINESS
IN RURAL DELIVERY.

The two rural free delivery mail
routes that were established by the
postoffice last February have met,
it would seem, a long felt want
on the part of the suburban residents,
if the steady increase of business done
by them is a safe index.
From the monthly reports kept at
the postoftice it is seen that during
the first month on route No. 1. 1,491
pieces of mail We're delivered, and 49O
pieces collected, while on route No. 2
the delivery amounted to S5S pieces and
the collection to 434 An increase ha
been shown each month since. and the
october report shows that on route No.
/ the deliveries amounted to 1859
pieces and the collections to 1,l61, and
on route No. the deliveries to 2.O19
and the collections to 5O4.
