A DEMURRAGE CASE
THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY WON IN
 THE SUIT.
The Appeal Decided Yesterday by the Supreme Court Was Appealed From Jefferson COun- ty Court.

In an opinion handed down yester- day by the Alabama Supreme Court. the right of railway compaines to charge and collect demurrage for the use of freight cars after they have been delivered to conslgnees was firm ly established.
 The point in question was con., tained in an appeal of the case of the Southern Railway Company vs. Lockwood Manufacturing Company from the Jefferson County Circuit Court. Judge Dowdell who rendered the decision held in short that the Southern Railway Company had lien on a car of lumber delivered on the company's team track" on account of an unpaid demurrage charge of S1.
 The evidence in the case showed that the car of lumber consigned to the plaintiff. the Lockwood Manufac- turing Company. reached Birmingham, March %. An agent of the plaintiff freight on the car plus a demurrage bill of $3.
 The car was switched to the team track" but was not unloaded within day An agent of the railway com pany presented a bill to the plaintiff for $1 for demurrage of an extra day. This bill the plaintiff refused to pay. Then the railway company sealed up the car and proceeded to hold it, claim ing lien.
 The plaintiff sued the Southern Rail- way Comapny in the circuit court for damages in holding the car of lumber and received an assessment of $160.
 The decision of the lower court was reversed and remanded. 1t being hold that when the delivery of the car was made lien on 1t lay with the defen- dant railway company on account of demurrage or car service charges ac- cruing subsequent thereto. In other words, the lien which the plaintiff ad- mitted was valid previous to delivery was valid after the delivery and until the car was emptied
 There was no question involved in | this case of excess In demurrage charges. The regular charge speci- fled by the Alabama Car Service Asso- citation and approved by the State
 Railroad Commission, that of $1 per day after a free forty-eight hours, was made against the Lockwood Nam ufacturing Company.

Cured After PhyslOians Said N0
 Had Consumption.

E. H. Jones, Pastor NJ. E. Church, Grove, Md, writes: About seven or eight years ago had very severe cold which physicians said was very near pneumonia, and which they afterwards pronounced consumption. Through a friend was induced to try sample of Foley's Honey and Tar, which gave me so much relief that I bought some of the regular size. Two or three bottles cured me of what the physicians called consumption, and have never had any trouble with my throat or lungs since that time."

on Opposition to Presidents

The caucus was late In getting to-

hour after che time set for assembling.
On his arrival the members entered
into hearty discussion, which nat
urally amounted to a denunciation of
Republican policies in general. but es-
pecially In relation TO the Panama mat

OLD SOLDIER DIES;
YOUNG MAN IS SAVED

Two attempts were made at suicide to-
day. one Of which was successful.
Shortly before noon inmates of the
Soldiers Home were attracted by groans
issuing from Patrick Linskey, an old
Irish soldier. who was addicted, so they
say. TO the use Of laundahum and liquor
to such an extent that little was
thought OF the matter for some time
At last some one looked after the man,
finding that he was really i'll. BY the
time medical assistance was summoned
he was dead. Coroner hewitt was in
formed. and. on investigating, found
two notes. one asking that his pension
papers be buried with him, and the
other that no funeral ceremony be per-
formed. leaving no Soubt as to sui
cidal intent which was the nature of
the death certificate
Rufus Garner was the other TO at
tempt Self-destruction, and he, too
swallowed laudanum. He was dlscov-
efed by other members OF the family at
GIL L Street, who sent for the Elmer
gency Hospital ambulance. Prompt eff
forts on the part OF DR.. Robert Perkins
saved the mans life, and he will be dis
charged from the hospital tomorrow.
