Some time since Mr.. Arthur Bryant
petitioned the City Council to sell him a
part of the property near the old canal
locks, belonging to the city, on which he
proposed to erect manufacturing plant.
The matter was referred to the proper
committee and Mr.. Bryant applied to
the Southern Railway officials to lay a
switch upon the ground in case he be-
came the purchaser. Today the men,
bers of Council received the following
communication from Judge J. X. M.
Norton, attorney for Mr.. Bryant;
am instructed by Mr.. Arthur Bryant
to say that he was informed by the rail-
road that they could not put switch
into the property, which is advertised
by the city for sale. This makes it i'm
possible for Mr.. Bryant to utilize the
property for the purpose he had intend
ed, and so he will no. be able to submit
any bid for the said property.

ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.

Cries of murder and police were heard
shortly before twelve o'clock last night
in the northern section of the city, and
Lieutenant Belts and Officers Ferguson
and Beach repaired to The locality from
which the cries we're heard and ascer-
tanned that colcrcd man named Thomas
Colbert had been knocked down and
robbed Of five-dollar bill and some
other money. Colbert alleged that Too's
Olden, a well known darkey of this city,
had assailed and robbed him, and later
Olden and a young colored woman named
Jennie johnson, who, it appeared, had
received part Of the money, were taken
in custody by the officers. Olden was
brought before the Police Court this
morning, and, on the evidence of the
johnson woman and the victim Of the
assault and robbery, was fined $50 ar ID
sent to Jail for six months.

INVESTIGATING ACOIDEN.

The officials of the new terminal sta
lion in Washington have as yet been un-
able to fix the responsibility for the col
lision between two trains of the Southern
Railway near the southern end Of the
terminal tunnel on Tuesday evening, in
which twenty people we're Injured. They
maintain, however, that the switches at
the northern end of the terminal were
tempered with by an unauthorized per-
son, 80 that the south-bound train was
started out on the wrong track snd d.
rectly in the path Of the incoming ex-
press. The officials, however, do not
believe that the switch was thrown with
malicious intent. Because Of the un-
fioishei state of the construction about
the terminal, several hundred employees
of the different contractors are about the
yards at all hours. 1t is quite probable
that one OF this number might have
thrown the switch lever.
The railroad officials say that portion
of the tunnel where the switches are
located is in total darkness, and that
1t would be impossible for the engineer
of train to tell to what tracks his en-
CINE was being switched, as none are
familiar with the Re8 route. For that
reason Engineer Mitchell, of the south
bound train was unable to tell that ne
had been switched to the north-bonnd
track, and accordingly allowed his train
to continue through the tunnel. Because
of several curves none Of the trains are
sbl3 to go at full speed while 10 The
tunnel. aud this reason alone prevented
q more disastrous wreck. Not withstand
ing that the greater portion OF those who
were ineilred ere still confined to the
hospital none are reported az being in
serious condition, aud all are said 10 be
recovering rapidly.

CHILDREN INJURED.

Two children of James Thomas, color
ed, living on west Duke street, were
seriously injured on Tuesday by the ex-
plosion of a railroad torpedo with which
they we're playing. Thomas is fireman
on the Southern Railway, and the child
red it is supposed, took the torpedo from
his trunk. DR.. A. B. Penn, who was
iu the neighborhood at the time, was
summoned TO attend the children. The
right eye of one of them was seriously
injured so much so that II is feared the
sight has teen destroyed. The lid and
part of the flesh extending to the fore
head was literally blown of. One o.
the legs of the other child was seriously
injured.

fruit except apples and Strawberries.
The prairie land is black and almost
destitute OF grit The land they call
the barren lana. on which the timber
stood is very stony and after plowng

piles, tons and tons being in one field.
Nearly an the dwelling houses are one

would be sufficient fo~ three Of ours,
