Special to Enquirer-Sun.
Montgomery, Ala., June 11. The democratic
convention today nominated Hon.Thomas Seay,
of Halo county, for governor of Alabama. The
nomination was made on the thirtieth ballot, the
convention having been in session two day*. The
contest was fkir, but heated from the outset, and
enthusiasm ran at fever heat. Thu excitement
was greater than on any similar occasion in this
state since the* war. McKleroy withdrew yester
day. but Dawson and Clayton remained and re
fused to withdraw to the last.
The nomination of Hon. Thomas Seay over two
strong men murks an event that has no parallel
in Alabama history. It is a glorious triumph for
one and an honorable defeat for the three. Mr.
Seay is a young man, still under forty, and
younger by twenty years than either Dawson or
Clayton. Hi* entered the convention with a
smaller vote than either of his opponents, except
McKleroy. He gained gradually but surely, and
was finally nominated in a straight contest over
the two remaining opponents. One by one the
county delegations went over to Seay. On the
thirtieth ballot the tight was won, and the nomi
nation was made unanimous.
A committee was sent for Mr. Seay, and on
bis arrival he accepted the high honor in a

avail themselves of the sixty-five days public
school. How unfortunate that the term issoshort!
Instead of ranting and fuming about Bflcon and
Gordon these people are quietly attending to
their own business, and a large majority with
whom the writer conversed, firmly believe that
both these once great men have belittled them
selves before the people of Georgia, and will both

hope that General A. R. Lawton will be nominat

ve failed to tr-t tin
and Girard railroad for laying down and using a
sidetrack on Thomas Htreet without any right or
authority and asking council to require the road
to take up this sidetrack. A motion was made
by one of the aldermen to grant the petition, but
another moved to lay the petition on the table,
which was carried. This disposed of the matter
so far as council could grant relief.
Since then Mrs. Kavanagh has tiled a bill in
equity against this railroad in which she sets
forth substantially, but more at length, the same
tacts and prays the court, to grant an injunction
restraining the railroad from using this side
track. V»v- do not propose to discuss the law or
merits of Die case at this time, as those questions
will more properly be argued to and decided by
the court. But, as this is a matter of considera
ble public interest, we will give the tin ts and
principles relied upon by the complainant.
In the first place she claims that the state was
the original owner of tin* lots and streets of the
city of (’olumbus, and after laying off the town
sold the lots and dedicated the streets to public
use. That tbe legislature passed an act giving
authority to tin- Mobile and Girard and the
South western railroad company to connect
their roads through the streets and commons
upon such terms as the city of Columbus might
impose. That a vote of the citizens was taken
and tiie connection agreed to upon con
dition that one track should be laid down in
the middle of Thomas street. It is alleged that
this is all the authority tin? railroad has to use
Hi is street and tlmt the laying down of the side
track was not in the contract with the city.
That the road uses this side track in loading (
and unloading and delivering goods from its cars •
standing in the streets, and that the constant j
passing of the cars and engines to and from the
depot to this side track in delivering and receiv
ing goods creates great noise and much smoke
and dust, and there is also danger to persons
passing a ong Broad and other .-,1 roots from these
••ngim.s and cars. This use of tiie street without
authority is claimed t<* be what is called in law u
"puh’ic nuisance.” by w hich is meant something
which annoys and disturb* the public general!,.
Buell a nuisance can be abated by v. process of
■ ow, ora court, of equity may grant an injunct uva
:o restrain the party committing the nuisance.
Phe rule is that only the soGcitor-gencral, in the
name of tin state and for the benefit ol’the
people, cut. stop a public nuisance, been
uiu person : s interested more than & not lu-
vhen some particular person is affected in a s
•ial manner, either in their person or propel
hen such person may receive tv Less.

KNqriHHH-St’N: As much despondency has
been expressed concerning the crop prospect dur
ing this season, the writer was surprised in trav
eling from Glen Alta. Marion county, to Lump-*
kin, in Stewart county, through plantation roads,
to note the real status of corn and cotton. In a
distance of twenty-five miles there is but one
poorly cultivated “patch.” The corn is much
better than at the same date last year. Indeed,
yo ir correspondent has not seen such a flattering
prospect, both in quantity and quality, in the
same territory during teu years. If tiie rains
continue and are not too abundant these people
will certainly be independent of western corn
cribs in 1887.
The cotton is fine. Some of it was planted the
second time ami consequently L late. Yet it
look" health} - and vigorous. It has been well
e*tlt ivated. Oats are lo v. but high enough to be
saved and have heavy heads. The people are

.ccop* any sum in compensation of such damage,
lie is unwilling to be annoyed even for t*'e
benefit of those who use this sidetrack in re
ceiving or shipping their goods, but asks that the
court shall prohibit the use of this track alto
gether. The case is set for bearing before Judge
Willis on the 25th of June, and then the railroad
will show w hat authority it mis to lay down this
rack and why the court ought not to grant the
injunction. After the defense is made known
and the case is argued we may have something
more to say about it. but as we have no disposi
tion to influence either the court or public opin
ion in the matter we will not discuss the merits
at this time.

ACT FIRST.
A band of fairies with their queen are sporting
in a forrest glade, when they arc warned by Puck,
the queen’s sprite, that two little mortals are ap
proaching directly toward their glen, upon which,
at the queen’s command, the fairies disperse,
leaving the queen and Puck, who, invisible to the
children, remain to watch them.
Anna and Carl, the brother and sister, enter
the glade which the fairies have just vacated, are
struck by the unusual beauty and quiet of the
scene, express to one a noth ei their admiration,
and also breathe a wish that their poor, hard
working, care-worn mother were with them, and
that together they might remain there always.
The listening queen, in the goodness of her
heart resolves to enrich the children and their
mother: so by hoi magic power she causes the
children to fall asleep and then empowers Puck
to change their May flowers, with which they
have tilled their baskets, into gold. The children
tli'. n awake, one after another, and relate how
they have dreamed what has just taken place,
and examining their baskets their surprise and
delight at what they discover are inexpressible.
ACT SECOND.
The young people of the village are out on a
■ Mav-day walk—are interrupted by Peter Grim,
i the miserly owner of the cottage where CftF and
, Anna, with their widowed mother, live; he mani
fests his disagreeable temper to them and leaves
! for the cottage, there to demand instant payment
of tbe amount due him for the house. He has
| but just left when Carl and Anna enter, carefully
holding their baskets and refusing to stop for a
; moment to join tbe*r mates in their walk, but
| nromise to .iMonish them with their disclosure, if
*hey will go to their home- with them. The cho-
I ru'" soon conclude to do so and to satisfy their
- curiosity thus aroused.
ACT TJJIRD.
Maria alone in her cottage is disagreeably sur
prised by tiie entrance of the old miser, who
I rapping on the floor with his cane demands
instant attention. He then tells her if she
j does not at once pay what she owes she must
instantly lcuvt the house. Her prayers for a
I Lttle time are in vain. - but at this juncture
•ppoitunciy enter hc*v children bringing their
Gaskets of gold which, after dancing mound the
• room for joy, they empty before their astonished
, mother. The villagers enter ut this moment and
after t’arl and Anna tell how they obtained it,
I there is a general expression of admiration,
j After Peter Grim is paid and the money
, secured, they all determine to go together to
j the place where it was found and see if
! they can discover the source of such a bril-
j itant mystery.
j APT FOURTH.
! The fairies are assembled in their Fairy Grotto,
i rehearsing the joys of fairy land, etc., when Puck
i enters and tells the queen that he has, by the ex
ercise of his art s, conducted the villagers into the
deep woods ami Liiat they are now approaching
the Fairy Grotto. She declares her intention to
delight the young people with a view of fairy
Jand, and then of the fairies themselves, and
thus close their Mfcy ’day festival in the most
brilliant manner possible.'Accordingly the fairies
disappear from view - the villagers enter the
Grotto cautiously one after another with gestures
manifesting tbeir surprise and admiration.
Knowing this must be the Fairy (trotto, they
long to see the fairy inhabitants, and so gather
ing closely together they earnest'y invoke them
io appeal. Upon which the waiting fairies in
stantly surround them, radiant in garbs of gold
and gem.".
An adieu chorus, in which are mutual expres
sions of love and esteem, closes the act.
The last scene of the operetta wad a representa
tion of tin* Fairy's Grotto, and one of the most
striking pictures ever seen on our stage. Ii was
new and different from anything of the kind we
have ever seen. The lights thiown on the chil
dren dressed as fairies, made a picture which in
loveliness lias never been surpassed in Columbus.
Much credit is due to Mrs. McKay for the* arrange
ment of the scenery ami designing the costume
of Puck.
The operetta will be repeated this afternoon at
a matinee, and everybody ought to **ee it.

Of course everybody believed the genial show-
man. and as the agent of the Mutual Life, of
New York, has a touch of the same disease" he
expects to have due credit for his statement to
the same effect, and also for his assertion which
m view of recent facts seems now needful, vb
The Mutual Life Insurance Company of y 0V/
York is the oldest, largest, strongest, safest
cheapest, best company in the country.
It lias paid to policy holders:
In dividends
In surrendered values
In payment of death claims
Total amount returned “ $2.30,000 OQO
And it now holds for the security of its policy
holders over $108,875,000. It has no stockholder-!
to claim a part ofthe profits. Am compared with
all other companies its ratio of expense is smaller,
its percentage of dividends is greater, its average
of surplus is greater, its amount of assets is great
er, its income is greater, its policy is the most
simple and liberal, it has no restrictions upon
travel, residence or occupation. Where else in
the world is a company with such a record '
There is nothing like it in England or America.
It has paid its many thousands here in ('.(iam
bus, and will continue to do so. thus providing a
legacy and not a law suit. During the pa n 20
years tiie undersigned has had not a dnv’s delay
in payment of claims, and still receives proposals
and issuts policies on every desirable piau
