JUDGE NILES TO HEAR CASE

Jackson. Miss, August SO.-(special.) Attorney General Fletcher has been en- joined again, but he states that he does not feel natural when a day passes without he is served with an injunction of some kind, and this last one is not bothering him at all.
 The attorneys for the Louisville and Nashville railroad have secured from Federal Judge Niles an injunction re- straining the attorney general from bringing any more suits against them to prevent them doing an intrastate business when they have violated tho state law prohibiting foreign corpora tions from taking cases out of the state courts and to the federal courts.
 The attorney general. the district at- torney at Biloxi and the railroad com missioners have been summoned to ap- pear before the federal court at Biloxi, but Judge Niles has agreed to hear the case at his home in Kosciusko next Monday, and those cited will be there. At the same time there are two or three other injunctions to be disposed
 
 Front street, in Bay St. Louis, and it Is proposed to get rid of all of them at this hearing if possible. The penalty for violation of the order not to do an intrastate business is from $200 to S5O00 per day, and it is accommodating every day until the injunction is dis posed of by the courts.
 The Mississippi delegation to ths Farmers union national convention which meets at Fort Worth, Tex. on September l, will leave here on Sun day. There are 10000 members of the union in Mississippi, and they are en- titled to one delegate to every 5000 members, or 14 from this state It is understood that the following II will go, viz: c. R. Hightower president of the Mississippi division, H. E. Blakes- lee, commissioner of agriculture, w. W. Welch, T. J. Johnson, S. A. Shumake, J. M. Bass, A. Harrington, w. H. Kolb. T. R. Palmer, H. W. Bradshaw R. A, Wilson
 The Mississippi union has been anx- ious to put President Hightower for ward as national president, but he has frowned down all such suggestions and stated that he would not seek the place, but that does not mean that he would not have 1t if rendered.
 Commissioner Blakeslee will go from Fort Worth to Austin to spend two or three days with the Texas commissioner of agriculture after the convention shall have adjourned.
 Gov. Noel issued a proclamation to- day authorizing the organization of the Mississippi River Western" railroad. line that the promoters propose shall run from Meridian to Natchez.
 It has been known for some time thar a party of surveyors were in that field and they have been to Jackson confer ring With ex-Gov. Longino now and then as to rights of way, etc.. but inst Who is behind the enterprise is not stated, though home capital is repre- sented in these preliminaries.
 Such line, if built direct from Ma- ridian to Natchez would open m ths largest bodies of virgin pine timber lands left in the state It ia s sec- ton that Is cut up by railroads run nlng north and south, but for about loo miles there is no road east and west It would split the country to the south of the Alabama and Vicks. burg and north of the Mississippi Cen tral' and throw open to civilization as me stretch of domain as there is beneath the sun
