FOR NEW RAILROADS
MUCH INTEREST HAS BEEN
 AROUSED IN PENSACOLA.
Pnrties Who Hold Franchise From the City To Buiid Road To Memphis, Wfii shortiy Anneunee
 Their Plans.

Pensacola, Fla. Dec. 12.--(Special.) --Much interest has been aroused in Pensacola over the revival of gossip regarding proposed new railroads, es- pecially the one to Memphis, which has been before the public for a num- Der of years, first being agitated by Seeiey Dunn.
 It Is believed here that the parties who hold a franchise from the city to build the road to Memphis, will short ly announce what has been accom- plished. for their franchise privileges will soon expire and it Is almost a sure thing that they win not be re- newed unless there is good showing made. These parties are New Workers and local men, and when they were granted an extension six months ago, It was with the assurance that some- thing would be accomplished, So far as Chester H. Pond is concerned, he Is known in the local matter, but he has heretofore figured in railroads proposing to enter Pensacola, and 1t Is possible that he may be behind 8 new deal to bring a road here from Gren- ada. Miss.
 Although the Louisville and Nash vile has much of the valuable water front in the city, there Is still ample space for other railroads especially in the western portion of the city. even not considering the franchise rights granted to the proposed Mem- phis road.

Torpedo FIotilia Expected.

Torpedo FlOtilia Expected.
 The torpedo boat flotilla. composed of fifty vessels, is expected to arrive In the harbor within the next few days from Charleston, s. C., where the vessels stopped at the naval station for minor repairs to enable them to make the trip in safety to Pensacola.
 Although the weather has not been very good in the gulf stream during the past few days 1t is expected that h will clear sufficiently to allow the little vessels to come in safety to Pen sacola. When they arrive here the torpedo boats will first go to the navy yard, where any work necessary on the machinery will be done. and then will go on the target range for prac- tice with torpedoes. A portion of this practice will be in St. Joseph's Bay. sixty miles east, and the remainder in- side the harbor. The vessels last year went through this practice and for the first time in the history of the navy torpedo sent from one of the beats reversed itself and turning sruck the vessel, driving a hole through the steel which would have sunk her but for the fact that the flow of water was stopped by plug ging 1t with mattresses.

RUSSELL LOST HIS CASE.
Supreme Court Reversed and Remanded Case
 Against 1. R. & Nj. By.

The Gazette has the following to say of the case of D. Gill Russell against the L. R. & M Ky. which resulted in a judgment in the Cir cult court of this county for $25C for the plaintiff. although he brought suit for $2.o0O:
 Russell was injured by reason of a train being backed over him as he was attempting to cross the railroad at Huttig at a public cross ing and he sues for the injuries he sustains thereby. The evidence shows that he was walking along a path parallel with the roadbed un- til he reached the crossing. when. without looking back, he started across the tracks. As soon as he stepped on the track someone called 70 him to look out and before he could jump. the train struck him. There was a man on the back end of the platform.
 The court instructed the jury that if any of the crew operating said train saw or could have seen Russell's danger in time to apprise him of it or stop the train that they should find for the plaintiff. This was error. It has been repeatedly held by this court that the servants of railroad company owe tres passer no duty except to exercise ordinary care. after discovering his peril. not to injure him. But this error was waived by the appellant, for one of it's own requested in struetions contained the same CT TOT.
 The court further instructed the jury that if. from all appear ance. the plaintiff would not see or hear the train in time to avoid in- jury. and the trainmen failed to warn him or to stop the train. the defendant company would be liable. This was also error. for there was no error upon which to base such an instruction. His own testimony shows that he was walking along the path, out of all danger, until he suddenly turned across the tracks and that as soon as he stepped upon the track someone shouted a warning to him, but the train struck him before he could jump. He seeks to avoid the gen- eral rule that 1t is negligence as a matter cf law for approaching a railroad crossing to fall to look and listen for the approach of trains by bringing himself W thin the excep- tion of the circums stances being so unusual that he could rot req sonablv have expected the ap- proach of a train at that time. This proposition was sharply con- tested by the railroad and was the real issue in the case. The erron-

eous instruction tended to divert the minds of the jury from this main issue to one which was not properly in the case, that of the appearance of plaintiff.
 The court holds that, under the circumstances of the case, the question of plaintiffs oontributory negligence was properly question for the jury. The case will there fore not be dismissed. but for the above error the judgment is re- versed and the cause remanded. !"

10 ORGANIZE CHURCHES HERE
Mill Company Turns Union Church Over to
 Meth0dists and Baptists.
Huttig, Ark. Nov. 25. 1908

Huttig, Ark. Nov. 25. 1908. To THE CITIZENS AND MEMBERS OF
 THE BAPTIST AND METHODIST
 CHURCHES.
 After carefully studying the sit uation at this place. I find that there is majority of the people here who are desirous of changing the plan under which they are now working in the church, and there being a majority of Methodists and Baptists here. the Company has decided to let the Baptists and Methooists organize churches at this place, each using half the time However should there be any oth- CT denomination at this that wish to have a preacher of their denom- ination to come in and preach, they have the right to do so, the Meth odists and Baptists each giving up at least four Sundays in each year of their respective one-half time. provided however, that these other denominations should want this much of the time.
 The Company further holds the right that if any denominational minister shall go to work to tear down any other denominations that they will not consent to furnish the church to such preacher. there after. This. of course, would be decided by committee appointed by the citizens of Huttig.
 The Company will hold each Of these two denominations separate ly and for themselves, responsible for their good behavior and for the care of the church.
 The Company will further put
  all possibility on each of these denominations organizing a church at this place to secure their minis ters themselves, and that each of these churches shall be responsible to the minister personally for his salary.
 This letter is written in the best of feeling towards the church that is now maintained here and regret very, much that this change should be made, but we feel that it is for the interest of the people to make this change and now we sincerely hope that everybody here will take an interest in the churches and make 1t as pleasant for each other as possible.
 This arrangement is effective after December Is, 1908.
 Yours very truly.
