WORK TOBEGIN RIGHT AWAY
THE STREET RAILWAY PROMOTERS ANNOUNCE
THAT THEY WILL BEGIN WORK
RIGHT AWAY
The Contract StipuIates That They Are to Begin
Work by Christmas Forfeit One
Thousand Dollars.

Mr.. G. T. Heard. of Brooks
vile, one of the gentlemen to
whom the city council granted a
franchise for the construction of
a street railway last summer,
was in the city Thursday. Under
the provisions of this franchise
the grantees obligated themselves
by bond in the sum of one thou
sand dollars to begin work on
the line by Decem Der 25th, 1904,
and it was for the purpose of
making arrangements to under
take this work that Mr.. Heard
came to Columbus. He had a
conference with Col. t. j.
IO'Neill, who is one of the prime
movers in the enterprise and is
the legal adviser of the company
That this conference resulted
satisfactorily is evinced by a
statement that was made by
Col. O'Nein soon after it's close.
Col. O'Neill in conversation
with a DISPATCH reporter stated

Settled Out OF Court.

Hon. Jordan Boone, general
counsel for the Mobile and Ohio
railroad in Mississ' ppi, and Hon.
E. O. Sykes, Jr., personal injury
attorney for the same line, have
been in the city for the past few
days for the purpose of effecting
settlements with the passengers
who were Injured in the wreck
which occurred near Eggleston s
bridge last Sunday. Mr.. Boone
was seen by a DISPATCH reporter
and stated that settlement had
been effected in nearly all Of the
cases but refused to divulge the
amount agreed upon in any
specified case. merely saying
that the settlements which have
been made were satisfactory to
all parties concerned.

Jim Dill has been convicted.
His trial on the charge of having
murdered young Dancey Blew
EFT was begun on Monday, and a
resume Of the testimony was
given in Wednesdays DISPATCH.
Wednesday morning was devOt-
ed to the argument, District At
torney Mitchell made a fine
speech on behalf of the State and
Judge J. A. Orr. who assisted
the district attorney in the pros
ecution of the case, made one of
his usual strong addresses. The
only speech to be delivered in
the defendants behalf was that
made by Mr.. VIM. p Stribbling
who made and eloquent plea for
the acquittal of his client. Mr..
Stribbling made a hard fight, but
both the evidence and facts in the
case were against him and
there was no chance for him to
win out.
The cases of Croxton Holmes,
Shed Jennings, VIM. Newman
and Lug Newman, who were also
implicated in the killing of young
Blewett. were continued until the
next term of court. All four of
these negroes were admitted to
bail, Judge Sykes having fixed
the amount Of the bonds of Crox-
ton Holmes and Sneo Jenning at
100000 each and those of VIM.
and Lug Newman at $4,000
each. The bonds were promptly
executed. and all four of the
above named negroes now have
their liberty. The reason that
these cases were continued is
because there was so much bust
ness to be disposed of that il
seemed impossible to try them
during the present term. jim
Dill, the negro who committed
the murder, has, as stated above,
already been convicted, and it is
thought there will be mo trouble
experienced in convicting the
four other negroes who were i'm
plicated in the crime at the mex
term of court.

that work would begin this week.
He stated that the ties had been
purchased from local contractors
and that a shipment of rails was
expected to arrive this week.
When asked at what point the
work of track laying would be-
gin the Colonel said that they
would begin at the Southern
depot and work in a westernly
direction, laying the track on
Main street first.
Mr.. @, L. Wood, an experienc-
ed civil engineer, has been en-
gagged to run the levels and will
have charge of this branch of
the work. 1t seems that the en-
tire route of the line has not
been definitely decided, but the
com pany is compelled by the
provisions of it's franchise to
begin active work by Christmas
day, hence the construction of
the line is to undertaken at once.
