FINE SHOWING

improvements.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 26-Grcss earn
ings of the Illinois Central road have
advanced steadily for the last five
years. They are now about $13,-
900, 900 higher than in 1901. II Is
estimated that for the fiscal year just
closed they will foot up in the neigh
borhood of $50, 100000. For thu
year ended June so, 1901. they
amount to s36,901.000. The in
crease in the capital stock. however,
has kept pace with that of gross
earnings. The stock has been in
creased from $60,000,O00 in 1891,
until it is now s95,040,00O, so that
until the declaration of an extra div
iden of y per cent the other day
holders of the roads securities really
received no tangible benefit from the
expansion of earnings. In addition
to the expenditure of the proceeds OF
the new stock on the improvement of
the property there has been spent in
the same way in the last seven years
s23, 100000 directly from earnings,
which has been charged to operating
expenses, so that the physical inn
provement of the property has ad-
yanced rapidly.

Lunacy, IL Now Seems
Probable.

Rev, G. w. Briggs. formerly pastor
of the Broadway Methodist church
in Paducah, seems to be having more
trouble. Rev Briggs has not occu-
pied a pulpit regularly since he left
Paducah, but has devoted most of
his time to the lecture platform.
He cut the proprietor of North
Seventh street boarding house in a
NJ of anger before he left Paducah
and the indictment against him was
only recently filed away.
He is now threatened with luna
cy trial at Memphis. as told in the
following dispatch:

Briggs is charged with stealing d

NEW GRAVEL ROADS
THE COUNTY WILL START TWO
ON MONDAY.
One Is the Calvert City and the
Other the Blandville Road
Extension.

County Road Supervisor Bert
Johnson will Monday start work on 2
new gravel roads and will push the

road building.
The Calvert City road, running
from the Benton gravel road to the
Marshall line, will be started. Mr..
Sam Brookshire has charge of the
work and will place as many teams
on the job as possible.
The extension of the Blandville
road will also begin Monday. The

it before the winter sets in. This
work will be under the foremanship

The county Is doing this work, the
jobs not having been let by contract.

City Jailer Evitts Filed Injunc.
ton Suit Yesterday.
The Hearing Had to BE Indefinitely
Postponed When Aldermen
Met Last Night.
JUDGE REED HEAR ARGUMENT

The impeachment proceedings
against City Jailer Thomas Evitts
came to an abrupt hflt last night.
AS foretold in The Sun, the attorneys
for the defense prepared papers for
an order of prohibition against the
board of aldermen from further pro-
ceeding with the trial and as there
was nothing left to do. the aldermen,
when they convened last night were
forced to adjourn until the matter
has been passed on In circuit court.
The action of the attorneys for the
defense was not unexpected, as they
announced before the trial was en-
tered into that in event the alder
men undertook to try the case they
would get out temporary injunc-
ton, and have Judge Reed pass on
the question of the Jurisdiction of
the board.
All aldermen were present last
night and the council chamber was
crowded again with spectators and
witnesses.
Sheriff Lee Potter and deputies
were on hand and served the notices
of the temporary restraining order,
and as the aldermen could not pro-
coed without being In contempt of
court they Immediately declared the
hearing indefinitely postponed.
Judge Reed will hear the argu-
ments sometime within the next ten
days.
1t seems to be the general opin-
ion among attorneys that there is
nothing to prevent the board of al
derment from hearing the evidence
and acting in accordance with it, and
that the injunction will be prompt
ly dissolved after Judge Reed has
heard the arguments.
