HUGE DAMAGE CASE
BECALLEDATMILT0N
RAILROAD co. AND GEORGE
HOFFMAN OF PENSACOLA.
ENGINEER, DEFENDANT IN
HEAVY PROCEEDING.

One of the most important actions
for damages docketed on the circuit
court, Milton, which will be heard
today, has as defendants the Louis
vile & Nashville Company and
George Hoffman, an engineer, and in
the employ of the said company.
Sim Otis brings the suit, which is
for the sum of $4,000, and Watson
& Pasco of Pensacola are attorneys
who are appearing for the plaintiff.
The railroad company's interests in
this largest action at present filed in
this circuit, will be cared for by the
firm of Blount & Blount & Carter, of
Pensacola.
Mr.. Otis alleges by the bringing of
this suit that the railroad company
was chiefly responsible for a fire
which practically destroyed his mill
ing property, situated at Mulat, some
months ago. The allegation Of the
plaintiff is that an engine of the de-
PENDANT company emitted sparks from
which the destructive blaze was start
ed. The mill and adjacent property
was burned, the fire starting in the
afternoon, and it is represented,
shortly after the train of the defen-
dant company, in charge of the other
defendant, Mr.. Hoffman, as engineer.
In the trial of this suit, it is as
serted, the weather bureau records
may be called into use to play an i'm
portant part, for it is likely the de-
Tense will interpose, with the general
denial of their responsibility for the
fires origin, that wind was blowing in
an opposite direction from that of
the milling property, as respecting
the starting point Of the fire.
Because of the large amount at
stake, and the fact that local people
are represented in the case, there is
no inconsiderable local interest in the
outcon of the suit.

and burial of Raymond Whitconb oc-
CURED here yesterday morning at ten
o'clock. He was the bright and hand
some little son Of Mr.. and Mrs. d.

was shock, not only to his parents
and relatives, but to the entire com
munity. Friday he was carried to a
Montgomery hospital for an opera
ton which he declared would kill him.
His parents were with him and al
though he seemed to have stood the
operation well, he died. He was
brought back to FIorala Friday. and
after the arrival of Mr.. Whitconnb's
parents from Indiana and other rela-
yves, burial occurred Saturday morn
ing.
Many hearts were saddened by the
death of this manly little fellow. He
was favorite in the schoolroom and
popular on the school grounds, with
all the children. Almost every night
he made music with the trap drums
at the Iris Theatre, and was a ia
vorite there. His grandparents, who
are the Cawthons, are grief stricken.
Before her marriage to Mr.. Whit
comb, Mrs. Whitcornb was Miss Dora
Cawthon. Raymond was their only
child. He was eight years old.

The Love of God

Like a cradle rocking, rocking.
Silent, peaceful, to and fro,
Like a mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below,
Hangs the green earth, swinging, turn
ing,
Jarless, ~noiseless, safe and slow;
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss, and cry, and will not rest
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best,
So when we are weak and wretched,
By our sins weighed, distressed,
Then it is Gods great patience
Holds US closest, loves US best.

NEW YORK, June 24.-There were
several visible reasons for the de
cline on the stock exchange during
most OF today's business. The con
tinued rise in money at London. sug
gested the more or less remote posi-
bility OF higher money here. London
again sold stocks. though not as yet
in impressive quantities. A violent
rise in wheat prices in the far north
western markets drew attention to
the fact that although the prolonged
wet weather in the wheat belt has
caused thus far no serious damage.
the relief through change to the right
kind Of growing weather has not come.
These developments were not OF the
most formidable sort. Nobody looks
for really high money in New York
The London selling is what Wall
street, week ago, declared to be de-
sirable. In wheat, the Chicago mar
ket did not follow Winnipeg and the
other speculatively excited centres.
and private estimates were put out
today for July wheat crop, indica-
ton larger than that Of June. The
further advance in London discount
rates and the further recovery in ex.
change on London here were note.
worthy incidents of the day. ~
