New York, Sept. 2O.-General Super intendent Brooks, of the Western Un- ion Telegraph Company, said today that t his company had nothing to arbitrate.
 We have all the men We desire" !" said MT. Brooks, and there is no need for us tc seek to secure the services of the men who left the employ of the company. Furthermore, we will never again tolerate the conditions that existed before the strike. The action of the union operators before the strike in deliberately interfering with the business of the company in abus- ing those who failed to join their or ganizttion, will never occur again in the operating rooms of the Western Union. There are 175 operators who were employed in this city by this company before the strike who will never again secure work with this company. They are all trouble-mak- CTS"

NO COMMUNICATION
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE HAS
 ASKED NO PRIVILEGES.
City Council Of Mobile Will Go No Farther With New station Pro- ject Until Road Is Heard
 From.

Mobile, Sept. 20.--(Special) )-The city council having failed to receive any communication regarding certain privileges the Louisville and Nashville Railroad wants,.as a requisite to build ing a new $150,000 passenger station, a member of the special committee from the commercial bodies was asked what has been done about the depot matter since the meeting in this city with President M. H. Smith, about two or three weeks ago, and he said today that the committee Is waiting to hear from Mir. Smith, to receive more blue prints and plans from him. and to further receive a definite proposition from him. He said the council will not be asked for any concessions until 1t is known exactly what MT. smith wants and what he proposes to do, and this last conference with him in Mo bile was hardly more than a confer ence It is not believed that Mir. Smith will be heard from again until after this case with the Alabama Railroad Commission is settled.
 Albert Quina and Albert Bush, the chairman of the Mobile committee, have driven over the grounds talked over, and it Is probable that Mir. Smith will be persuaded to build the new station on the river side. Instead of the town side of the street as first proposed.

Promoters of scheme are Well Able to Carry 1t Through Provided Right

 Obtained.

Troy, Sept. 20.--(Special. IA move- ment has been started here for the building of trolley line from Troy to Orion, distance of thirteen miles. The promoters of the scheme are Fox Henderson, L. M. Bashinsky and Will Clancy. The line will very likely be run on to Milo. thrifty country town, about seven miles south of Troy and Troy will be given service and a line will be run out to the fertilizer fac. tories.
 The line would run as near the pub lie road as possible, and the cars would carry both passengers and freight. If this line is completed from Orion to Milo. it would likely be extended in the near future to Montgomery, north, and Elba, south.
 It is said that the Troy electric light plant, with some Improvements, could furnish the electric current for a short system, and this would greatly reduce the cost of it's construction.
 This line would add greatly to Troy's business and would be a very great convenience to the farmers living along the line.
 The promoters of the scheme are well able to carry 1t through and if they meet with the proper encourage ment as to right of way. etc, 1t will most assuredly be go. :... .:"

 @The condition of Mrs. Greenhaulgh c1nvinced her son and daughter and tte three persons arrested with them that she must be possessed of the devil and they determined to exercise the exil spirit. The five knelt by the bed- side and after praying commenced their work.
 The arms Of Mrs. Greenhaulgh. stiff fened by Rheumatism, were twisted about in order that the devil might be dTAFeH OQl
 The cries of the aged woman were considered to be the evil spirit leaving and were greeted with triumph and hopes. After a course of the violent tr&atment, Mrs. Greenhaulgh not only beeame so weak that she could not use heF limbs, but became incapable of mak- tnB any motions.
 Then her neck was twisted, and for some time this treatment was kept up. walter Greenhaulgh testified at the coroner's in quest that Mitchell and his wife had a vision in which Mitchell was ordered to quit work and devote his time in casting out the demons from the sick. Young Greenhaulgh declared that his mothers consent was obtained before the treatment was commenced.

 Greenhaulgh broke down and cried asFhe told his story. He declared that for some time his mother bore the tr6atment bravely, but at last the agony became so great that she could not restrain herself and she cried, "Oh Lord help me-" a number of times.
 The case will be further investigated by the authorities of Lake County in which Zion City is situated.
