The Era of Reform.

The fruits that grew fair in the vineyard OF
graft
Have been plucked with Industrious hand
And many a jovial cup has been quaffed
As the juices were squeezed on demand.
But now suspicion of terrible change
Expands to embitter each hour;
The mood OF the CRATER grows solemn and
strange,
The grapes are beginning to sour.
The clusters in reach there so temptingly
hung,
Long since have been carried away;
The toasss have been drunk and the songs
have been sung
And the sky OF the morrow looms gray
Repentance is rife In the east and the west
The reformer has stepped into power.
And the earnest opinion Is freely expressed
That the grapes are beginning to s5ur.

Another Clash at Cairo.

Cairo, Ill.,. August 23-The state of Illinois and the United States government had trouble of few hours duration here today, and the United States was worsted in the matter. A force of seventeen in spectors in charge of Superintendent L. Brame of the United States public health marine hospital service, was looking af- ter the quarantine regulation in the state and cities south of Illinois. Three of these inspectors, who travel up and down the Mobile and Ohio railroad, have been mak- ing their headquarters in Cairo, coming into Illinois from Mississippi and Louis lana against the orders of the state of Illinois and the city of Cairo.
 Secretary Egan of the state board of health advised these inspectors they could no longer enter Cairo. The matter was finally adjusted by the United States gov ernment agreeing to send only immunes into Cairo. and they will be allowed to enter by Secretary Egan. The federal au- thorities declared rigid quarantine to- day against Fulton county, Kentucky. as the authorities there have been issuing unlawful certificates.

RECORDS OF COURTS

Chancellor A. H. Benners of the chancery court did not hand down any decrees yesterday He Is, however en- gagged in considering several questions which have been recently referred to him.
 Register John w. Altman was engaged for sometime yesterday in hearing the arguments In the case of w. H. McAfee, assignee, vs. the McAfee Construction company. The McAfee company had the contract for the Seaboard construction work in this city, and was declared in- solvent. The matters now requiring the attention of the register are the claims against that company which are being contested.
 Register Altman yesterday heard the testimony in the case of Raul Cole vs. D. M. Horseley. The case Is the ques- ton of a dissolution of partnership.
 In the city court yesterday, M. w.. Burns instituted suits against the Re- public Iron and Steel company. the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany. the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, and the Tutwiler Coal and Coke company, asking $500 damages in each case. The plaintiff alleges that his property was damaged by overhows from the Little Warrior river. which were caused by the negligent manner in which he claims the defendants handled the re- fuse from their respective plants.
 A suit for ejectment was filed in the city court by Eula Morris against w. R., Wright and Artie May Wright for pos session of certain lands.
 The petition of removal and the original bill of complaint in the case of c. w. Bailey, administrator of the estate or Bonnie Norman. vs. the Republic Iron and Steel company, were filed In the federal court yesterday. The case was transferred from the city court of Bir- mingham. The suit seeks to recover $2o' 900 damages alleged to be due for the death of the plaintiffs intestate, which, 1t is claimed. was caused by an accident in the mines of the defendant at Sayre- ton. The grounds for the removal are riyen to be that the defendant company Is organized under the laws of the state of New Jersey and does not come unue' the Jurisdiction of the city court or n''- mingham.
