NEW ORLEANS-LOWER
COAST CHANGES

announcement was made a few
days ago by General Manager Elmer
son of the New Orleans-L ower Coast
Railroad of several promotions and
changes in their administration. Mr..
+. W. Burgis, who has been acting
for the past year or more as general
superintendent, has been promoted to
assistant manager to Mr.. Emerson.
Mr.. Burgis will be succeeded as SUI
perintendent by Mr.. J. X Stroebel,
who has also been connected with the
company for some time. Another i'm
pOrtant promotion was that of Mr..
q. j. Smith. MIR. Smith has been
connected with the Old Grand Isle
for good many years and has been
gradually promoted from one posi-
ton to the other. He has been as
signed TO the position as general
passenger agent and general freight
agent of this road. and we predict
that il is only a short time when he
will be made the general traffic man
ager, as Mr.. Smith has paid particu-
lar attention to this part of the rail-
road business.
Another promotion affecting the
Algiers Railway and Lighting Com
pany was the elevation of Mr. Joseph
Bayle. who has been the commercial
representative of the company, to be
assistant to Mr.. Emerson for the Al
giers Railway and Lighting Company
Mr.. Bayle is well and favorably
known here IN our town. He has a
pleasing disposition and is a man OF
personal magnitude.
Mr.. Emerson has surrounded him
self with some of the best men that
could be had in the city of New Or.

Sentiment In Favor Of Selling
Franchise On Basis OF Better
and Cheaper Service Instead
Of Money Paid In City
Treasury.

Since the announcement a few
days ago that Commissioner Cheney
intends to advertise for the sale of
the franchise of the Third District
Ferry, interested citizens in the fifth
district have gotten busy to obtain
for Algiers the best service possible
under the new condition.
The Third District Ferry has been
operating without a franchise for
the past six or seven years, and it
seems now that since the new pom
toons and boat have been ordered
for this crossing, a franchise is or
dered for sale The universal SEN
timent of the people of Algiers is
in favor Gf the franchise is to be
sold at alb that it be sold on a basis
of cheaper and better ferriage in
stead of large lump sum of money
to be paid into the city treasury. The
Herald has carried on a campaign
against the present ferry charges
and system for the past eight or nine
years. We are proud to say that We
have the cooperation of our best
citizens along this line.
There is no doubt in the world
but that the city officials will accede
to the demands OF the public and
will give TO the Algiers people what
is really best for the greater num-
Der. The following are the min
utes of the first preliminary meet
| ing regarding this most important
/ subject to our district.

UNUSUAL DAMAGE SUIT
supreme Court Grants Rehcarii'% OF
Case Against Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmcn.

A writ of error and superse teas
was yesterday granted the Br' Their
hood of Railroad Trainmen by the
supreme court OF appeals Of Wig MA,

the brotherhood. on appeal from the
corporation court Of bristol In that
court $500 damages was ava -ded
Vickers for alleged injury done him
by the brotherhood when he was en-
ployed by the Virginia and SOUTH
western railroad.
From the record it appears that
Vickers worked for the railroad as
brakesman, and after a service of
some time, left for other employment.
Later he was again employed by the
road, and when reinstated he asked
that he be restored to the seniority Of
his former employment. Under the
rules of the brotherhood; this Is not
permissible, and they objected. vick-
ers then circulated pet.tion. II Is
said. asking the support of his fellow
workers in his contention. and for this
the brotherhood dropped him from
the roll because OF acting contrary to
the rules of the order. The man was
later dismissed by the road, and he
thereupon sued the brotherhood for
$4,000. claiming this to be the dam
age done him by their interest in his
case. The case will now be reheard.
Refusals Of appeals were made by
the court in the following cases:

pealed from the circuit <ourt Of Bed
