BOARD OF TRADE AND
LUMBERMEN TO AMALGAMATE
John R. Young to Succeed D. G. Purse as
President

The lumbermen will meet to-day,
and hear the report of their committee
upon the consolidation plan. This
committee met with some of the direc-
tors of the Board of Trade last week
when the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed. No opposition to the amalga-
nation developed and ii is generally
accepted among naval stores men that
the plan will go through to-day. In
that case the Board of Trade will
honor the lumbermen by electing one
of their number vice president. The
names most prominently mentioned
are Messrs Harvey Granger and w. b.
Stillwell. Both are prominently identi-
fed with the Lumbermen's Association
and both are popular members of that
organization.
Capt. Purse said he retires Is presi-
dent of the Board of Trade for purely
personal reasons. In his letter trans
mitted to the directors he said:
Important business arrangements,
recently undertaken, viii carry me
away from the city on a great many
occasions and II will be impossible for
me to attend TO the duties of the office
with satisfaction. ! therefore tender
my resignation, with feelings of sin
cere regret"

INITIAL EXHIBITION
OF NIGHT RACING.

Crowd saw Ponies Race Beneath
the Glare of Electricity.
A large audience witnessed the first
evening of racing at the old Thunder
bolt track last night. and if the ex-
pressions of those who were present
are to be taken as a criterion the
novel venture will be a success.
A band added to the evenings enter
tainment, and for an hour before the
ponies We're started a concert was Civ
en-. The lights were so arranged that
no shadows were cast on the track,
and every horse could be plainly seen
all the way around. The whitewashed
fence made it possible for every move
of horse and rider to be distinguished.
The first race was a half mile dash.
There were originally five entries, but
two of these were scratched. Brantley
took the lead and was first all the
way, Judge Pettus was second, with
Bessie Arnold third.
The second race was in heats, best
two out Of three Miss Barney was
easily the best in this class and won
two straights.
The hardest race of the evening was
the last, a dash of six furlongs in
which three high-class horses started
Judge Pettus was installed favoBite
being held at to 8. After nearly a
half hours delay at the post the horses
broke, and Judge Pettus refused to &c
after the barrier had been passed. The
race was then between Certain and
Prentis Young. Certain went to the
front and was never headed.

ASK DAMAGES FROM
DlSTlLLING COMPANY.
Temporary Injunction Granted at
Macon by Judge Speer.

Macon by Judge Speer.
The 1. TRACER Company of Cincin-
natl, o., has brought suit for damages
against the Big Spring Distilling Com
pany of Savannah, and asks that a
temporary and permanent injunction be
granted by Judge Speer, restraining the
defendant company from continuing
to put on the market a certain brand
of whisky. The temporary Injunction
has already been granted. and the pa
pers were filed in the United States
courts here yesterday.
According to the allegations of the
plaintiff they were putting out a GER
tain brand of whisky, known as
"fdgemont" and "Old Edgemont. :"
Great care had been taken to distinct
ly mark the whisky bottles in which
the brand was sold to guard against
counterfeits, Large amounts were also
alleged to have been spent in adve"-
Using and making the whisky popu-
lar.
Owing to the color of the labels on
the bottles and the wrappers, the whts-
ky became commonly known as green
wrapper" or green wrapper whisky. >"
Then il is alleged that the Big Spring
Distilling Company began putting out
a brand of whisky, similarly marked,
though there were certain changes in
the lettering and words on the seals
and labels, with the purpose of taking
from the profits of the Ohio company.
So much alike were the labels II is
alleged, that 1t was impossible to tell
| one from another and that the bust
ness of the complaining company was
therefore seriously interfered with. The
complaint states that the damage was
at least $4,000, but asks that the de-
PENDANT company be compelled to make
a sworn statement to the commissioner
in order that the exact loss might be
| ascertained. The application for in
| junction is then made.
The temporary injunction issued by
Judge Speer is sweeping in its charac-
ter. He restraints the company from
packing. bottling, shipping, or selling
| the alleged counterfeited whisky, un-
til the matter has been finally adju-
dicated.
The papers in the case are exceed
ingly lengthy, being filled with minute
| descriptions OF the labels seals, wrap
pers, etc. used. Specimens of all are
attached to the bill of complaint.

HOUSE DRAINAGE
NOT ALL CONNECTED
AFTER TWO YEARS DELAY.
ORDINANCE REQUIRING CONNEC-
TIoNs NOT ENFORCED.

Large Percentage of Houses Not
Yet Been Connected with
the house Drainage Sys-
tenn. Notwithstanding AN ordi-
nance Was Passed Requiring An
Connections TO Be Made Within
Nine Months at the Outside.
Although two years have passed
since the time limit set by ordinance
for making connections with the
house drainage system, which the city
installed at great expense. quite a
large percentage of houses have not
yet been connected.
Whenever complaints are made, the
director of public works says the own
ers are required to make the connec-
ton at once. Practically all
OF the houses. except in the outer sec
tions, have been connected. he says,
and a large percentage of the
houses on the South Side also. but
there still remain a great many that
have no connection whatever with the
system.
Mayor Myers, when asked about the
matter yesterday, said he thought
most of the houses had been connected.
He would have to investigate
before he could discuss it, he said.
The Mayor appeared to be as much in
the dark about the matter as citizens
who have made the connections and
are complaining about those who have
not
NOt to Push Property Owners.
The director of public works said it
had not been the policy of the city
to force owners to make the connec-
tions at once. Close up in the city,
practically all the houses have been
connected with the new system, he
said. In some cases, where one per-
son ownes a number of small houses,
the connections are being made gradu-
ally, he explained about one d month.
II would be hardship to force them
to make all the connections at once,
he said.
No provision was made in the ordi-
nance for a penalty in the event the
owners failed TO comply. The ordi-
nance simply specified that all prop
erty owners should make the connec-
tions within a certain time. The city
the ordinance provided that those in
the first should make the connections
within three months; those in the sec
ond within six months. and those in
the third within nine months.
Time Limit Has Passed.
The nine months and two years be-
sides have passed since the passage
of the ordinance, but a large num-
Ter of house owners of the city
have not yet complied with it's terms.
Something over 1000 houses are now
connected with the new system, how
ever.
In the ordinance it was provided that
if the connections were not made by
the owners within the time limit set,
the public works department should
make the connections at the expense
of the property owners. Director Gads-
den says his department is not equip
ped to do this work. If the work is
to be carried out by the city, plumb
ing department will have to be added
to the public works department, or the
city will have to be authorized to set
contracts for making the connection.

Oonsumption's Deadly Grasp
Broken by Blood Wine.

Mr.. S. Raynor, 1886 Third St, S. E.,
Washington, D. C, says:
Gin August last my daughter Elsie
was taken with the typhoid fever; she
was in the care of two physicians for
about two months, expecting her to
die every day. After the fever broke
both doctors said it had left her with
consumption, and that it was only a
question of a few days, and that they
could do nothing more for her. She
then could not raise her hands over her
head. My wife suggested that we
try Blood Wine as the doctors had
ceased to give her any medicine. We
commenced the Blood Wine with
excellent results. After taking the first
bottle she got out of bed and sat in an
invalid chair, and after the second
bottle she came downstairs and kept on
improving right along until she had
taken six bottles, and now she is as
we'll aud strong as she ever was in her
