DECIDED IN FAVOR
OF THE RAILROAD


E.THE RAILROAD.
Two colored girls got on Santa Fe
train at Albuquerque last week to go
to Ell Paso. On the same train were
a number Of Indian school children,
whom the conductor had been told to
watch to see that they did not get off
the train at some of the stations and
go back to their villages. The con-
ductor accordingly locked the doors of
the car and kept them locked. Upon
arriving at Ell Paso the two colored
girls filed suit against the road for
$4,000 damages. The case came up
for trial in the Pass City on Saturday
and was decided in favor of the rail
road company.

Horse Thief TRIAL.

Several weeks ago a negro on Mr.. G
G. Gibbs place rode a horse into tn,
city and hitched him to q post on Adam;
street, then went to Mr.. Hightower'
store, only a block away, to make ,
purchase of some goods. In a fel,
minutes he returned, but found tn,
horse, saddle and bride gone. Tn,
matter was reported to Sheriff Charlie.
Hopkins early next morning, and h,
and others went to work to recover the
horse and catch the thief Sunday
afternoon the horse was located at MIR
Hirschberg's plantation on Lake Jack.
son, in the possession of some honest
and worthy colored people, who haC
taken him up in their field, and who
told before the circuit court in this city,
Wednesday, the straightest kind of tale
as TO the horse being out there. Wit
nesses saw a negro boy by the name OF
Willie Jefferson riding the horse out
there. He went to negro festival in
the neighborhood and hitched the horse,
which got loose, but on Sunday morning
put in an appearance and claimed the
horse as his, stating that he had pur-
chased it in town The witnesses knew
the scoundrel did not own the horse
accused him of stealing it, refused t.
turn it over to him again, and he, see
ing he was caught, left for Georgia
where he was some days afterward
arrested, brought back and lodged il.
the Leon county Jail.
The strongest kind of testimony wa,
furnished to prove that the negro stol,
and rode the horse away from town
that the horse got away from him, anC
that he again on Sunday morning at
tempted to steal it again. Yet, a Leor
county white jury, composed of six
men, for reasons arrived at among
themselves, in their deliberations in the
Jury room, turned this roaming, mean
looking negro, who hangs about turpen-
tine farms and whom, we are informed,
has a reputation of being bad mig
GER" loose, scot free, on a verdict Of
not guilty, and he can now go and steal
another horse at will. Leon county ju-
ries have done funny things before,
however, and people are not much sur
prised at such verdicts A clear case
was made out against this scoundrel,
the county had been put to great eX-
pense capturing him and feeding him
until court met, and now he is out and
at liberty to steal another horse or
something else, Cor he certainly must
feel safe to do the act over again, after
the results Of his trial. If dirty, prOwl-
ing, vagrant thieves can unhitch and
carry off people teams from the streets
of Tallahassee whenever they feel like
doing so, as has happened several times
in this city during the past few months,
and then not be punished for doing so,
some of such gentlemen may have their
hides taken off for it, or be punished
outside cf a court Of justice.
Honest people Of all races despise a
sneakng horse thief more. perhaps,
than any other kind OF a thief.

Pecan Tree Enemies.

This week Mr. j. V. Gully was in our
Office and complained that boring
worm of some kind was terribly dam
aging pecan trees in this section, and
afterwards, on examining several trees,
we noticed that they were surely at
work
AS we knew of no remedy for the
evil. we asked Mr. G. e. Gibbs If he had
noticed them, and what was 70 be done
TO get rid of them His remedy was TO
run a wire into the hole they cut and
thus find and kill them; but, he said,
the boring worm does not do near so
much damage as does the beetle, which
is pruning hundreds of small limbs from
the ends of pecan trees. They lay their
eggs i'm under the bark OF the tender
limbs, then saw the limb or twiR all
the way around, as smooth and as nice
as one could with fine saw, and it will
hang off or drop and dry up, when the
eggs will hatch and more beetles come
to continue the work Of destruction,
shortening the crop, II not eventually
killing the tree.
Mr.. Gibbs is busily engaged gathering
and burning the cutoff ends Of the
limbs, and hopes thus TO eventually get
rid Of the beetle. Mr.. Gibbs says the
only other trees he has noticed which
this beetle has attacked IL the native
hickory and different species Of pears.

The charming romance of Miss Wi
mans. one of your American beauties
IfOu1 q southern state, WHICH
mated in her marriage last week to the
Prince de Bearn here, was q pretty
ceremony. The young bridegroom was
an attache of the French legation at
Washington, and he and his bride
i spent last summer at Newport, where
the romance is said to have begun. The
girlish bridal gown was of soft white
satin, the skirt ornamented with a
Greek key design carried out in lace
and tiny ruff1es of satin. The simple
bodice had a lace yoke and pulled
bretelles of satin, edged with lace. The
crossed ends were finished with a small
bunch of orange blossoms.
The princess gown is always a IA
vorite model for wedding costumes
and, when the bodice is draped, it is
particularly becoming to slight figures
No trimming is necessary on the skirt
of silk or satin wedding gown, and a
dainty lace yoke trimmed with cob
webby ruff1es is sufficient for the bodice
The plain style that relies upon the
beauty of the material and graceful
draping is smartest and often most ef-
fective. A decidedly unique idea fol-

Fancy Hose In rnvor.

The embroidery on stockings is very
elaborate. Rosebuds showered over
the front and other blossoms, such as
forgetmenots, look pretty, but all such
decoration tends to increase the ap-
pearance of the size of the ankle. To
reduce this nothing is better than a
narrow stripe, and fortunately for those
not blessed with small feet striped
stockings are also in fashion. Just
white pin stripes about half an inch
apart are smart. Stockings to match
shoes in color are absolutely necessary
to the well dressed woman, so q good
stock of hosiery viii be required by all
now, as shoes are of many shades
brown, fawn, gray and. of course,
